The Simple Issue Of Home RuIe.


To the Editor Of the Journal.
There ts a bill before, the legislature
which citizens of Minneapolis generally
should be interested In. refer to the one
providing that city charters shall be voted
on by separate ballot. This is a step in
the right direction, but-o only step. Home
rule for cities is either good thing or it
is bad: thing. I believe it Is conceded
to be a good thing; for it must be admit
ted that this long distance control over
our cities by state legislatures is a farce
in municipal government This weak
ness In our form Of city government has
time and time again been pointed out by
European travellers, whose large cities
are certainly models compared to ours.
Why Is not a large city capable of con-
trolling itself as well as state legislature
can do It ?%;,<s, IN. =" -. i 'seE..s i F..
Three times the proposition has been be-
fore citizens Of Minneapolis, and failed
to carry sufficient votes; yet when the
| favors 1t, and why? Because he sees IT
is desirable. How shall it be brought
about? I don't believe the separate ballot
will do it. -
My suggestion, after giving the matter
some consideration, Is for the legislature
to adopt a law providing that, d city can
put the question directly to the people.
Are you in favor of home rule for your
city? Yes or no. If the matter then
carries BY the required vote, such. city to
| go on the home rule basis under its old
charter, with the power then lodged in all
the people to make such amendments or
changes as they themselves want.
Thissis important In Minneapolis, espe-
cialIy at this time, when old franchises of
public service corporations are expiring
and new ones will be called for. t-R. M.

OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Power TO vaeelnate.

The Power to vaccinate.
TO the Editor Of The Journal.
In your Issue of Friday evening, March
II. you publish an article giving a de-
ctsion Of the United States supreme court
concerning the Massachusetts, state law
relative to the powers Of a city board Of
health, particularly in regard to compul-
sorry vaccination. How can this decision,
which Is favorable to the health boards,
be reconciled with one given by the ap-
pellate court Of Illinois, first district.
Which Is published in the journal of the
American Medical association of March
III, 1867 This latter court in its de-
cision makes the following statement:
ON the; contrary, under a free govern
ment at least, the free citizens first and
greatest right which unde1iies all others
the right to the inviolability Of his
person; in other words, the right to him.
self-is the subject Of universal acquies-
cence, and this right necessarily forbids
surgeon or physician, however skilful
or eminent, to violate without
permission the bodily integrity of his
patient by major or capital opera
ton ~ H. 49,. H..
I do not wish to enter into an argu-
ment concerning the merits or dement's
of vaccination, but wish to submit that
the results Of "a major or capital opera
lloll Cdu. usually D6 more nearly lore
told than can those Of a vaccination.
One needs only to read the reports pub
lished from time to time in newspapers
to be assured that vaccination and its
results. in this country, kill more people
than does smallpox. It is, however, not
necessary to prove this, for, according
to the opinion Of the Illinois court, any
person not criminal has right to his
own body; especially the right to pre-
vent anyone else from performing upon
him any operation which he is opposed
to and which he has a right to fear
thru knowing that it has proved fatal
to others in a great many instances
The Illinois court shows that a man has
this right not only over his own body
but also over those Of the members OF
his family.
With all due respect to- the courts, ]

ter in their decisions. = - - r.

The Unemployed.

London, Nov. 29.-Another demon
stratiOn on the part of the unemployed
poor of the city occurred Today. This
affair was of moe serious nature than
any Of the previous demonstrations in
that it became necessary for the police
to resort to some force to quell the work
men. Another unpleasant feature of
the demonstration was that it WIS direct
ed against the Duchess of Fife, eldest
daughter OF King Edward.
This IS the first time in years that the.
Englishmen have manifested hostility
through public demonstration against q
member of the royal family. The dem
onstrstion occurred in connection with.
the opening of the labor tents for men
who are without work in which the
Duchess of Fife has taken an active
interest.
A crowd of unemployed men, number
ing fully 1000 collected in the Kings
Way of the Strand, where the tents
were being opened. The crowd Kissed
and hooted the Duchess demanding that
theyI-hould be given work, and saying
they would uot accept charity. Only
the presence of large number of police
men, kept the crowd from engaging in
a riot.
The mounted policemen rode direct
into the crowds, forcing the men to fall
back. The crowd hooted the officers
and the men in the houses called to
those in the front to fight the officers.
After The demonstration near the tents
procession was formed and the men
marched through the Strand, dis
locating traffic in that throughfare. The
demonstration followed the issuance of
circular by socialists.
The meeting was later held and
speeches of the most rabid nature were
made. The leaders of the crowd, in
fiery addresses, urged their followers TO
organize marching parties and to take
what they wanted by force. The Duchess
of Fife was greatly detected over the
ant-royaist demonstration.

Towns Still on Map.

Lawyers in Richmond assert that the
reports that several Virginia cities have
been "disintorporated" and "wiped of
the map" by the decision of the Court
of Appeals. in the case Of Camp bell Ell
ais. VS.. Bryant, mayor of Madison
Heights, are in error. The alarm had
been wide enough to stir up flood OF
inquiry from municipal officials and
taxpayers in dozen or more cities and
towns, and several legal representatives
and holders of town bonds have been in
Richmond making serious study into the
matter Judge George NJ Harrison,
who wrote the opinion handed down by
the Supreme Court, has nothing to say
concerning the turmoil. leaving the
opinion to speak for itself.
A well-known lawyer, who has made
some study of the case, says that the
court simply declared against special
privileges. The Madison Heights char
ter, he says, was only declared void
where it was in conflict with the new
constitution, which provides general
laws.
