Voluntary Fare Reduction.

Western railroads make strenuous OBJ
jections every time a reduction in pas
senger fares is suggested, and claim that
there is no profit in their passenger bus
mess at present rates. They will offer
proof of this to the Minnesota legisla
ture next winter, when anti-pass legis-
lation will be coupled with propositions
passenger fare.
The action Of some eastern railroads
will furnish an argument for the reduc-
ton. Two-cent fares are quite the rule
in the thickly settled portions Of the
east, and now the Pennsylvania road is
out with an announcement Of reduced
rates on all it's mileage east of Pitts
burg and Erie. There will be fat
rate of Pa cents. to the public, and
what amounts to 2-cent rate will be
given thru transferable mileage books.
| After Sept. 1 there will be 1,0oO-mile
tickets on. sale for 500, good in the
hands of any holder. These also will
be good in eastern territory. The Penn.
| sylvania g voluntary action, coming 50
soon after the abolition Of passes
makes a strong point in the argument
that 2-cent fares are reasonable when
everybody pays. 49,. j
| Tt is argued by the western roads
that fares must be higher in this more
sparsely settled region. One needs only
to travel a few days to be persuaded
that the plea is fallacious. The west
ern states have fewer trunk line roads
and the passenger travel per train mile
is not far from as heavy as that on thu
eastern roads. There are not so many
people in the west, but they travel far
| Their and oftener than their eastern
cousins. Our population is more shift
ing, and business trips are more FIRE
quent and over greater territory. Train
going out Of the twin cities to the nortl
and west are loaded every day, and of
| ten overcrowded. This is on 3-cen
basis, with favored travellers gettin,
i2h cents or even 2-cent rates with mile
age books.
| A general reduction to a 2-cent rat
would stimulate traffic in the west as
has in the east, and in short tim
would doubtless result in greater gros
earnings from passenger business, az
cording to the experience Of easter
roads, which have tried it. The railroad
Of the northwest could do great strok

! making such a reduction voluntaril,

tion.

Specializing in Trust Funds.

The collapse of the Milwaukee Ave
nue. state bank of Chicago. reveals a
state Of moral turpitude almost incon-
ceivable in men charging themselves
with the trusteeship Of the funds Of Ia
boring men and their families. The
bank appears to have been systemati-
cally looted Of it's deposits and the vast
sums thus easily acquired applied to
bolster unsteady real estate and build
ing ventures. .~-..
The absence of a moral right to spec
ulate in the funds of savings institu-
tion adds to the aggravation of the Of
Tense, but it also adds to the response
bility of the state. What was the bank
examiner doing when the officers of the
institution were withdrawing sums ag'
gregating millions from the deposits
and investing them in wildcat schemes
Is it possible under the laws Of Illinois
for the funds of savings bank to be
thus invested legally9 If so the state
has failed conspicuously of it's duty tt
protect the depositors by adequate laws
miserably Of his duty to know where
and how the funds of the bank were
invested.
Such use of the funds of savings
| institution would be impossible in thu
state Of Minnesota without guilty con
nivance on the part of the examine
and the officers of the bank.

At the Produce Exchange.

The produce and commission men
plan to transform Commission row into
a sea of good things to eat, surrounded
by a waving mass Of red. white and
blue The commission men have been
planning their surprise for days, and
are ready to spread themselves. One
patriotic member of the exchange sug-
gested at meeting that every hen
brought into the place be decorated
with a red, white and blue ribbon be-
fore, delivery to the trade, Eggs, he
thought, should be painted red, white
and blue. Every cabbage should carry
a flag and the trademark of Uncle Sam
in sight everywhere.
Further than the decorations, the
commission men are ready. Antici-
pating the immense demand for fresh
produce, arrangements have been made
for large shipments the entire week.
Large stocks of refrigerator products
are on hand and there will be no danger
of food shortage as far as the COM
mission lines are concerned.

Illinois Likes the Primary.

The party primary is, Endorsed by >the
Chicago News, which declares. that thru
itqparty voters are now enabled to give
expression to their views. Notwith-
standing the nomination of Lorimer, a
great victory was obtained over the
Lorimer faction in. Chicago. Nearly all
the cogs in his machine were smashed
The primary, which brought out great
vote, was perfectly handled, and the
men who went to the polls had the sat-
isfaction Of knowing that their votes
were counted as cast. This is some
thing which the former dark lantern
caucus Of Illinois fell far short Of in
surfing.
The experience of Illinois is like that
Of other states. The primary, while
not a perfect bar to manipulation, is so
far in advance Of the caucus methods
that no set Of voters having tasted the
sweets Of partial enfranchisement from
the thralldom Of bosses would willingly
go back to the old state of affairs.
The occasional success of a. boss Of
pleasing manners and startling agility
on the political slack wire is not an
argument against the, system because
BOSSES, whether Of pleasing or dis
pleasing manners, were: constantly sue
sceeding under the, old system Out. of
the primary Minneapolis got at the out
set most unfortunate nomination FOR
the mayoralty. But 1t is. observable
that there has been constant improve,
ment in the character Of the men who
have asked for this ;or other offices in
the city since. Great stress is laid
upon the bitterness soof the feuds created
by the primary, tbutJson the other hand
it should be remembered that Ea& state
convention cost the republican party
the governorship Of Minnesota; two
years ago. That convention was sthe
politicians ideal. 1t was preceded by
enough political chicanery to exhibit
in relief all the smart tricks Of the
! trade. It ought to have been won

Adiutant General F. B. Wood of the
Minnesota National Guard conferred
yesterday with Wallace G.. Nye of the
e. A.: R. committees, as to tents and
other state supplies that will be neces-
sary for the Grand Army encampment
next week The local committees will
have 200 tents from the, state, and if

The state also has enough mattresses to
provide, sleeping accommodation for
four men to each tent.
The state s military stores, which are
now at Camp Lakeview, Lake City,
where they have been in use by the Ma
tional Guard regiments, will be packed
and shipped direct to Minneapolis. Gen
eral Wood will detail a squad of his

camps. He will also detail squad to
remain with the camp to see that ev-

Envy's Volcano Not Yet Extinct

1t does not take great deal to wash
off the rouge of friendliness toward this
city in ST. Paul, and the Pioneer Press
keeps in type some of the language OF
1890, to be brought out when occasion
demands. The Pioneer sounds the on
set this morning. Its editorial on the
proposed location of packing plant by
the Armours in the New Brighton dis
trict intimates that St. Paul will take
steps to prevent it, not because of any
"feeling of silly jealousy against
this city, but because the average, man
is afraid the parks, streets and alleys,
public grounds and private residences
of the capital will be overwhelmed by
the stencil from rendering plant which
; will be located some miles farther from
st. Paul than the plant of the same
kind that city already has. The edi-
/ torial is explained by the news item in
the same issue which reports that Gen
eral Flower has returned from Chicago,
where he saw representatives OF Ar
mour, and that it is certain that the
plant will come here, but that it may
be located at South st. Paul, where, OF
course, it will make no smell at all.
The matter of location appears to have
a marvellous effect upon the odors ere
ated by a packing house. We under
stand that the one at South St. Paul
actually improves the atmospheric con-
ditions. If st. Paul could only get
another and bigger plant, especially at
the expense of Minneapolis, the whole
packing region would become nosegay
which people would 90 miles to smell.
The Pioneer Press may be an espe
cially good authority on some kinds OF
smells, but so far as a packing plant
is concerned, one would prefer to rely
on the testimony Of health officers anC
persons Of special education in hygiene
They do not agree with the Pioneer
Press at all regarding the effect of the
sewage on the river, nor upon the re
sultant evil influence upon the atmos
phere. The fact of the matter is tina
a modern rendering plant, like prop
erly constructed garbage crematory, il
practically innocuous. By putting tn
plant at South St. Paul, where Their
would be scarcely room to turn round
and none in which to expand, the Ar
mours might get themselves into a posi-
tion where they could not build prop
erly, and where they would become a.
intolerable nuisance to themselves an
others. But by taking plenty of Ian
and building as they propose to bull
at New Brighton, the pollution of eithe
water or air becomes so reduced tina
it becomes a negligible quantity.

The Third Term Will Not Down

! President Roosevelt has been solemn
1y renominated with or without his con-
sent by the Louisville Courier Journal,
the New York World, the New York
Herald and the Washington Post, which
no sooner had agreed upon forcing the
candidacy upon him than they turned
E in and enthusiastically defeated him
with Bryan.
If the president had no higher mo-
tive than personal ambition he might
be tempted to enter the lists again for
the purpose of Indicating his willing:
ness to endure the scorn of these false
friends for the sake Of triumphing over
them, but the president construed and
obeyed an instinct which led George
Washington to place limit upon the
number Of terms one man might serve
in the presidency. That precedent has
been very generally followed in this
country except in legislative offices.
The average Of executive occupancy
is less than two terms. Governors and
mayors when accorded two terms very
generally step down and out. If by
reason Of personal ambition they seek
the third it is usually hard shedding to
attain the object.
The plain purpose of Washington
was to-, leave an example behind
him of adhesion to republican
principles. Rotation in office is
cardinal tenet Of republican form Of
government While hereditary execu-
{ tives have lost some Of the appearance
y of evil in the old world it is apparent
that the shearing Of kings Of their actu'
al power has contributed more than
anything else to the acceptance Of their
life tenure. But the presidency Of the
United States cannot be shorn Of its
power. On, the contrary it's power
grows constantly and it's influence adj,
vances by leaps and bounds. The wis
dom Of Washington approves itself in
contemplation of the possibilities of a
permanent presidency such as prevails
+ in Mexico. The presence there of g
permanent executive exercising almost
kingly prerogatives bears mute testi
mony to the retrograde state Of ledu
cation and general intelligence in Mexi
CO. The freedom with which we change
public servants in this republic as EN-
phatically testifes to our advanced civi
lization which puts the country above
the individual. We have no fear tina
the government will disintegrate whel
we change presidents. We have cult
waited in the public schools the idea tina
any boy may be. president. The corol
larry Of that proposition is that no orr
