Without pausing to comment upon
the fact that it took plebiscite to fix
the moral principles Of the successful
candidate, let us examine the PROPOSE
tion that moral reform got q backset.
There are two things to be observed.
First, that had not Mayor Jones taken a
forward step on this question, he would
have had no opposition for renomina-
ton. The forces opposed to his con-
tinuing in office met him at the pri-
maries and were defeated. Second, if
Mr.. Haynes had not said at the start
that he wished to end this talk Of
civic righteousness, as was said in Phil
adelphia, he would have received about
as many votes as the whisky element in
both parties can command and no more.
Nothing is more certain than that these
are notS.a majority Of the electorate.
Minneapolis made considerable prog
ress under the administration of Mayor
Jones. The ground that was gained
will not be lost-at least not perma-
nently.

It's Up to the Women.

There is complaint in another COL
umn of the failure in Minnesota to give
woman the ballot. The usual grounds
are recited and the customary argu-
ments are given in favor Of woman suf-
frage. The answer to this communica-
tion as to all other appeals on behalf
of the advocates of Woman suffrage, is
that women as a class do not wish to
vote. IF they did, they could. Any
body knows that. Everybody knows
that when the women Of the United
States or Of any single state demand
suffrage they can have it.
Whether it would be good thing or
not is not so clear. Colorado, the
state cited by the Journal corresponds
emit as an instance Of woman suffrage,
has not been distinguished for the
purity Of It's politics. Indeed, no west
ern state has ever suffered as much
from corrupt politics as has Colorado.
Nor is this any argument against
woman suffrage. 1T does not appear
that the women are to blame The
point is that their participation insGol-
.orado has net brought about the. very
desirable condition Of things in poll
tics which the advocates Of woman suff-
frage always claim viii BE the newt
able result when the ballot is given to
women.

An Insult to Women.

To the Editor of The Journal. e. d.
!, The last election brought out wildly
the injustice Of the present suffrage laws.
The lowest drunkard or gambler, and
the most ignorant foreigner are given
more legal rights than the best, most
educated woman. He is given full suf-
frage in city, county and state, while all
women are limited to voting for school
directors and the library board--the two
lowest offices In the city, and the for
mer not even worth salary
& All women are put below the worst
men in right Of suffrage. Is not that in
sulting to all womankind? No wonder
that they do not turn out to vote for
school directors In crisis like the pres
emit. one.
How many men do you think would
vote for school directors if all the rest of
the ballot was cut off? Yet they say that
women do not care for suffrage because
they do not turn out to vote for school
directors! And that they can have suf-
frage when the majority want it.
In the states where they have the right
to vote, the majority OF them do vote,
even so per cent of them in Colorado,
where they have had the right for many
years. Is not that proof that the women
Of other states would do likewise?
Some say that the women would have
voted just as their husbands did. Many
would undoubtedly do so, and vote right,
too. But that argument does not account
for the thousands Of women in the city
over 81 years Of age who have no hus-
bands. or any one else to represent
them.
Many Of these are property holders and
are taxed without representation Of any
kind. Many are self supporting, but re-
spectacle women. and ali are Interested
in the home rule Of their city, and should
have a say as to who makes the laws for
them and who executes these laws, or
fails to execute them.
Even II all women do not care to vote,
is that any reason why all should be pro-
hibited, Or permitted to vote for this
lowest offices IN the. city? Some men do
not vote. Is that sufficient reason to
deny suffrage to all. 8In Massachusetts,
last year only 40 per cent Of the men
voted yet It was right that they should
have that right, even If the other men
did not care to use their right OF suf-

r. The defeat OF Mayor Jones, which

much farther than has ever been Off
cially admitted. She is also the firm
ally Of Japan in the far east and the
great and good friend Of the United
States. Italy is inclined to her friend
ship, too, and for the first time III many
years England assumes the hegenony
Of western Europe that Of right belongs
to her.
These changes, on the other hand,
tend to revive the Three Emperor

and Russia. So that Europe is divided
into two great camps, bitterly hostile
to each other, but neither desiring to
invoke the calamity Of war. The inhu-
ence of England is FOR peace, and so,
of course, is that Of the United States.
Russia lies exhausted and the polyglots
Of Austria are too busy with their in
ternecine controversies to unite against

There are just two clouds on the
horizon of peace. One is the restless
ness of victorious Japan. The other is
the hatred that has been stirred up on
the Austro italian frontier.

Tuberculosis and swamps.

TO the Editor Of Tho journal. -
In a previous article on this subject 1t
was stated that 2,400 years ago Hip
pocrates taught that stagnant swamp
water causes enlargement OF the spleen
and enaciation, particularly OF the face,
shoulders and upper part of the chest.
1t was also said that such emaciation
invariably precedes consumption Of the
lungs, and that many modern authorities
maintain that swamp land is danger
GUS predisposing cause Of consumption.
It has been known for many years that
drainage of swamps or low, wet ground
is always followed by a great reduction
in the death rate from consumption in
the drained district. r
Domestic animals, especially mich
cows, are almost as susceptible Of tuber-
culosis as human beings. All the dairy
farms in and about this city consist in
part or sWamps and marshes. The COWS
drink from the stagnant, Shiny pools in
the swamp, the water that, Is loaded
down with the products of animal and
vegetable decomposition; and the people,

still is the fact that the people living

II the Society for the Prevention of
Tuberculosis, and others who ought to be
interested in the subject, would turn
their attention towards the thousands of
acres of swamps in and around this city,
and see to 1t that they are properly
drained, they would find it much more
successful method Of preventing tuber-
culosis than the childish talk about the
milkman's whiskers, as one OF the many
improbable places where the terrible (?)
tuberculosis bacilli may be lurking.

Views Of a Visitor.

A correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript, who has been travelling
about writing his impressions Of the
cities of the west, has furnished that
paper four columns of matter on Min
neapohs and st. Paul. The article is
fairly accurate and intelligent state
ment Of the facts in regard to the
business and social conditions existing
in these two cities. The correspondent
places about the correct estimate upon
the relative Importance Of the two
cities commercially and describes with
approximate accuracy, at least, the
characteristics of the two cities as
places of residence affected by the gen
eral moral tone Of the community, the
educational facilities, the homes Of the
people, etc. He notes one thing which
always impresses visitors, and that IS
that "the residence districts Of Min
neapolis will show more small but at
tractive houses of the moderately we'll
to-do than any other city I know of
unless it be st. Louis. With practi-
cally no slums or destitute people, with
schools and churches abundant and well
patronized and, with saloons operated
under a $1,000 license, confined within
a limited district and closed on Sun
day, Minneapolis is able to easily cope
with the dangers Of urban life that
threaten. other cities. It is a distinc-
tive feature Of this city that her peo-
pie to#a larger extent than almost any
other city in the country Of equal size
live in their own homes.
Perhaps this writer emphasizes stthe
greater evidences Of activity and thrift
and progress observable in this city,
because, like many people of the east
not familiar with western conditions.
he was not prepared to find Minneapo-
lis the larger, more progressive and
more attractive place.
He thinks that the prospects for con-
solidation of Minneapolis and ST. Paul
are improved by the fact that Mime.

st. Paul that many, Of the former

The MINNEAPOLIS Election.

! The Minneapolis Tribune, which ap-
pears to consider concrete virtue as
an affront to itself, has spent more or
less space recently in descanting upon
tho emotional fervor of reform and the
Inevitable reactions therefrom. It Of
2ers the defeat of Mayor Jones and the
collapse Of the movement for an indie
pendent political party as proving that
virtue can be overdone. = -
OF course, it is true that action pro-
duces reaction. This is particularly
true in politics, where men vote from
mixed motives and are never entirely
clear as to what they want. But it
would be no more fair to say that moral
reform had died in Minneapolis because
it was apparently rejected at the polls
than to say that discomfort with condi-
lions disappeared when Hughes was
elected. The man elected is under no
such illusion. The party which won a
cold victory entirely thru the superior
personality Of Mr.. Hughes is under no
self deception as to what the result
means.
Similarly the defeat of Mr.. Jones In
this city need not be accepted as a
license to reproduce the conditions Of
former years. It was brought about by
q combination Of causes, none Of which
affected the main issue. The best proof
of this is that the successful candidate
did not dare to go upon the stump and
open his campaign until he had decide,
to indmse the S lid. s. People who are
.conversant with the preliminaries to
that statement Of conversion on the
part Of Mr.. Haynes know perfectly well
that; it was q concession to the univer-
sal sentiment, which met his couriers

Hail to the Cha1npionsl

The toe Of the wondrous Eckersan,
the feetness Of the elusive Stefens, the
craft Of the cunning Stage availed Chi
cage nothing when her gridiron war
riors faced the new champions from the
north yesterday. Minnesota has come
into her own. We have long had sus-
picions that there were the markings of
a championship team about Northrop
field, and that in DR.. Williams Mime
sofa had one Of the greatest football
strategists in the country. Now. we
know it. Sz.ts ~ 4
It was a great victory-not over
whelming, but the victory Of a strong,
fast, irm-welded team over a great
rival just a bit inferior. Consider that
1t was chiefly a punting battle, altho
Chicago was generally held to be
generally stronger at punting. Con-
slider that Chicago two-point score
was made on 'tfluke.' Consider that
Minnesota thrice got within striking
distance Of the Chicago goal and once
succeeded in booting the ball between
the posts. Consider that never once
did Chicago get opportunity to try at
Minnesota s goal. Under the old rules
Minnesota would have triumphed by
preponderating score; under the new
rules, Minnesota still striumphed. Use
less now to wonder what would have
happened if there had been no rain and
Marshall field had Been dry. DR.. Will
liams had as large and varied a box of
tricks as Professor Stage, tho he had,
like the great general he is, been at
great pains to conceal them. He had
let Chicago hug the delusion that Min.
nesota was heavy, but not fast. This
is ever the Chicago fetish. Perhaps
they know better now. .. ~ ;

western chanpionship is now settle

such contamination. It is even pos

to be the best eastern team and should
Minnesota be fortunate enough to de-

pion football team Of America. At any
