WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2, 1904 AGAINST FREE TEXT BOOKS The Globe summarized yesterday the merits and demerits of all the proposed charter amendments save one. Upon this one, which would au thorize the city council to provide so called free text books, it had already lii previous articles summed up evi dence for and against. It has endeav ored to discuss the subject with im partiality and freedom from precon ceived opinion. It believes it a duty to the public to advise the voters now for the last time to vote against the free text book amendment. We have investigated this question thoroughly with reference to experi ence elsewhere and to the immediate needs and conditions of St. Paul. We have no inherent objection to the ac tion proposed. We do believe that this is not the time and the place for it. We are convinced, in looking over the field, that the adoption of free text books should be postponed until a more convenient season. The two objections to favorable ac tion upon this amendment at this time have been stated clearly, and we have heard not one word of sufficient an ewer. These objections are the finan cial and the sanitary. It will cost at the least estimate $35,000 to install the free text book system in St. Paul. We believe that this figure should be considerably increased, but that mucL at least must be added to the budget for next year. In our opinion the sum required would be nearly $50,000. It would require at least $15,000 an nually to maintain the system, in our judgment, and perhaps more. Any gain to be derived from this great expenditure is theoretical and nominal. The expenditure^ for text books would certainly be much greater in the aggregate than under the pres ent system. Now when parents have to buy the books there is a protest against frequent changes,- in the in terest of great publishing concerns. With the load saddled upon the back of the taxpayer, this protest would come too late and too indirectly to be effectual. We should hav e to au thorize a perpetual increase in the tax levy without any apparent gain. Let us not forget, that there are no such things as "free" text books. They are paid for, and paid for by the people just the same. We believe that the people's burdens will be lighter under the present system. The sanitary objection is unanswer able, it is supported by our health commissioner, on c of the best authori ties on such a subject in the country. Every parent must shrink from the thought of placing i n the hands of his children partially used but not de faced text books, that come from he knows not where. They may carry with them the germs of diphtheria, or ecarlet fever or of other diseases' so prevalent among children and so easily communicable. ~So well-to-do citizen would take the risk. He will buy new text books for his children just the same; while the poor, who are be guiled by the idea of getting text books lor nothing, will be exposed to this real menace. With the addition of supplies other than text books pur chased at the public charge. whi(_-h will follow immediately, this danger to tin." public health will be multiplied. Sure ly, were the benefits from the propose*! system a thousand fold as great as its advocates declare, we could better af ford to renounce them than to expose the innocents to this frightful danger. Enough Aas been aaid to create moiv than a reasonable defubt in the mind of an intelligent citizen. Such a doubt should be enough to decide him to vote against this amendment. Affirmative action would be final, because the free text book system once installed could not be given up. His negative action can at best work no more than a post ponement. At any time in the future that the people see fit, the proposition may be renewed and adopted. This is no time from an economical stand point, with other needs of the city far more important and pressing, to swell our budget by a free text book appro priation, it Is no time to invite an attack upon the public health. What ever be the fate of other charter amendments, it is very clear to us that this one should not be adopted at the present time. The discovery of an appendix in Mr. Takahira and the removal of the same by an American surgeon removes tho last bar to considering the Japanese as wholly civilized. A "DECENT" CAMPAIGN Concerning the wailing and whining of the friends of Mr. Dunn and, Mr. Dunn himself about the unmitigated "abuse" that has been heaped upon him, we are warranted in putting in evidence a few facts from the other side. There has not been a word utter ed, so far as we know, by the support ers of Johnson and the Democratic state ticket, of which they have reason to repent or be ashamed. After mak ing every allowance for the rage that follows the smart of assured defeat, we think that the supporters of Mr. Dunn have considerable reason to be ashamed of themselves. How is this for a "decent" cam paign? Here is an extract from the is sue of the Princeton Union, Mr. Dunn's paper, for Oct. 27. It is from the first page of that publication and occupies the center columns, printed in the big gest kind of type. This is the con cluding paragraph: The thousands of plain, common people all over the state, true blue Re publicans who are not to be controlled I by corporation organs, political scaven gers, traducers and marplots, sore headed and sour-stomached Republic ans and a lot of human small fry who inhale the ozone of the scavenger wagon. This sounds very much like the speeches of Mr. Dunn from the plat form, and furnishes a good sample of one of the reasons why quiet, orderly and decent people in such large num bers are declining to vote for him. It is not even good campaign invective, but just plain billingsgate. It seems to us to be a very good illustration of what an "abusive"' campaign really is, and where it is to be found. The Minneapolis Tribune is a news paper commonly supposed to be of a good deal more dignity and worth than the Princeton Union. It has been en deavoring, with many grimaces and much holding of the nose, to furnish that support for the Republican ticket which it deems necessary to its party regularity. But the microbe from the Princeton Union office has.got into its veins. We quote some choice sen tences from its leading editorial of Monday: How would the Democrats like to face such a campaign of baseless lies and obscene slander as the supporters of Johnson have made against Dunn? The jackal of a dying administration has spent its last gasp spewing slander over the official record that stands highest in the history of the office he held. Some rude asperities of speech in the mouth of a m?n of clean mind and life have been magnified to the ornate por nographic diction of Dave Clough. This sounds like and probably is an echo of the unique campaign out of which Mr. Dunn won his nomination. Is it any wonder that an advocacy couched in such terms as these, that a cause which requires men originally sane in their thought, and at least not disgusting in their speech to fail so low, should repel the voters of Mi% nesota? There can be but one expla nation. The supporters of Dunn, in cluding those who really desire his election and those who, like the Trib une, would welcome his defeat if it j could be compassed without their open j complicity, are fully satisfied that he is beaten. Their insane rage finds vent in the words that would shame the average saloon loafier. If they wish to find a reason for their disappointment they need look no farther than to such extreme utterances as those which we have quoted, and which are by no means unique in the conduct of th* Republican campaign in this state. James A. Peterson on R. C. Dunn: "Let's talk about the weather." A WORLD LABOR BUREAU Somebody has been making the moan that now that Tibet is a discov ered country, nothing remain* for the traveler to conquer. Of course he ex aggerates the plight of the explorer. So long as the north poie remains out of reach, the ambitious traveler must find life worth living. But it is true enough that the globe is getting smaller in that its peoples are being drawn more closely together and in THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1904 tbat the neighborly feeling is spread ing. Today there is little in the worhl that is unknown, although there is still much to conquer. Our familiarity with the people of far distant lands makes pertinent^: and possible; on •■ its face at " least, the sug gestion / made : recently by Gen. t William Booth, • commander of the• Salvation ' Army. - lie ha« ~ been * taking • a bird's ;eye ; view of the planet and r-hel finds that while certain portions of it are un comfortably crowded with human be ings, others r offer both room and . op portunity to those who can take ad vantage of the offer. His suggestion —and he makes it in an interview ac corded the current . Review of Reviews —-that: a * world :. labor • bureau be estab lished for the"purpose of. giving: the • un successful v' or the ' "crowded: out" a chance.. ■« There are I people;. who," would fail: to make a living, either • from disinclina tion or sheer inability, wherever they were placed. But. fortunately - these represent but a small .. minority in countries ■. like. America and Great Brit ain, at least." On the other hand, there are - undoubtedly a great many people who are the victims of their environ ment. It :is; not that the environment is necessarily bad in itself, but it is not the right kind of environment for them. To give these a chance to better themselves in comparatively unsettled countries would be to confer upon them an Inestimable boom. It would, too, decimate the ranks of the ever increasing army of the discontented, whirh is a real menace today. But the scheme is Utopian and its perfect working out would require, the spreading of much Utopian sentiment. If a world labor bureau could be es tablished in the right spirit and if its offer could be accepted in the fight spirit, individuals and crowded cities would obtain much relief. It would seem, certainly, an admirable method of evening conditions a bit. Perhaps Gen. Booth, in spite of his three-quar ters of a century of life, may live to see the establishment of such a bu reau. At any rate, the proof of this pudding is altogether in the eating, and until the scheme is tried, it would be out of the question to express a def inite opinion 'as to its ultimate suc cess. John Hay will go on talking; about universal peace until his militant chief ties a diplomatic can to him. THE PLAINT OF MRS. LANGTRY To point the moral of a life that has been lived chiefly in the gjare of publicity and that has, apparently, nothing to show for the effort of living is a temptation to which a world, nat urally censorious, frequently suc cumbs. And the acknowledgment re cently made by Mrs. Langtry that she has fallen upon evil days would seem to furnish an excellent pretext for a lengthy sermon. But it is doubtful whether the most eloquent sermonizer could do better, supposing he wanted to emphasize the emptiness of all worldly careers for the benefit of his congregation, than repeat simply the plaint the Jersey Lily makes. For she declaims she is deserted in her old age, that she has neither money nor friends, that, her only daughter has turned against her. Yet it probably seems but the other day, to many who read this news of her distress, that the Lily came, a fresh young beauty, up to London town. They will be apt to contrast her plight today with the promise that her youth and loveliness gave then, and if they are and always have been plain of face, they will net neglect the opportunity which, pre sents itself to revive such old saws as "Handsome is as handsome does'* and "Beauty is but skin deep," and mere man will reflect that the inconsistency of the eternal feminine is exhiWreff again in this plaint of the Victorian ■ beauty. Mrs. Lang-try would have, hej^ cake and eat it, too. Profound aston ishment is hers that after having lived the life she has, she stibuM find that life barren and her hands empty now. She furnished amusement for the bored during a somewhat hpur geois era, but since she, too, had her fun it is difficult to understand why she should considered those bored, who have since become bourgeois them selves, still in her debt. Assuredly, the Jersey Lily's plaint will gain for her little sympathy. It is the old fable of the grasshopper and the ant. There must have been timea during the summer days that the ant envied the grasshopper, and perhaps that was one reason why the industri ous insect was so hard on the grass hopper at the end of the season. At any rate those of her contemporaries whose careers have been less pictur esque but more profitable than Mrs. Langtry's will probably obtain a cer tajn amount of satisfaction from her plaint. What joy is there in life for the small boy now that we have a noiseless Fourth of July and a hailoweenless Halloween? The Princeton Union, be it observed, is supporting Mr. Dunn almost un reßervedly, Somebody is overlooking a great business opportunity in not, putting a Gen. Stoesstl cigar on the market. The question arises, is Dr. Ames to be on trial all the rest of his life? Contemporary Comment After Sixty Years •;-^"1844^3": )'-:-:■ io4,^-:'"■' Polk < and Dallas. | Parker and Davis. ?

It is an idyllic piece, in which the author of the book is said to have gotten com pletely away from the beaten patb pursued by writers of musical comedy librettos. The characters are all birds and the scenes laid in the midst of a beautiful grove. The score is said to be Mr. Luders' most ambitious effort.

What the Editors Say The splendid state ticket presented by the Minnesota Democrats this year contains a number of eloquent speak ers, and one of the ablest in the list s Thomas J. McDermott, of St. Paul, the nominee for attorney general. Mr. McDermott ranks high in the legal pro fession and is a fitting associate for John A. Johnson and F. G. Winston, the nominees for governor and lieuten ant governor, and the other candidates named by the Democratic convention. It is very important that the people should elect an attorney general in thorough sympathy with the governor, otherwise the executive will be seri ously handicapped in carrying out the reforms needed in the administration of the state's affairs and in prosecuting the timber thieves and other despoilers of the state lands. The election of John A. Johnson to the governorship should be accompanied by the election of Mr. Mc-Dermott as attorney general.—Du luth Herald. Hon. Joel P. Heatwole. of Northfield, "happened" to drop into St. Paul last week. He took two large rooms at the Ryan in order to secure privacy. It "occurred" to twenty-five or thirty prominent Republicans of the Third district to arrive in St. Paul at the same time to "avoid" holding a con ference with him. He paid a "friend ly" visit to Gov. Van Sant. A detective was employed to shadow him to see thnt he did not get run over by the cars. We can't express the happiness of our gladrfess that Joel P. is "out of politics." If he can create so much disturbance when he is "out of poli ties'" what In heaven's name would he do if he was "in politics? I" —Sauk Cen ter Herald. It seems that Dunn cannot make a speech nowadays without throwing mud at a Democratic nominee. In a recent speech he tried to besmirch Fendall G. Winston's untarnished rec ord in business. If it 1b necessary for Dunn to give vent to his vocabulary of abuse, ami where it will not be out of place, he should expose his running mate, Ray Jones, who was recently found guilty in the federal court at ■ Fergus Falls of stealing timber off nment lands. The public will not 'tolerate the abuse of men whose in tegrity and hormr are beyond reproach. —Benson Monitor. Warden Wolfer wants the state's prison enlarged.

J HONEYMOON IS SOUR Young South Dakota Pa<r Have a Dreadful Trip Special to The Globe MILLER, S. D., Nov. I.—A young couple were married, then jumped on the train for a cheap honej»noon, hav ing parses to both towns. They be came separated on account of the groom having to go to another car. The cars became packed and the train pulled into the town before the groom could reach the car where his bride was. As they got off the train in the dark they were taken quickly to sep arate parts of town and lodged by the hospitable people. They met the next day in time to take the train for the other town. The secret became public and the trip to the other town was made with rice throwing, singing and general jamming by the crowds. Ar riving at the depot at dark, the bride was suffering with rice and bird shot in the head, passenger friends having thrown both, and they had lodged in her ears, causing her to have a deathly headache. Hospitable strangers again took charge of the bride while the groom went after a surgeon to remove tire shot, but he got lost and it was day light before he could locate himself. The young couple left the town on the next train, the groom declaring he would vote against both towns for capital and threatening to sue the rail roads for damages, saying that these free wedding trips were fearfully ex pensive, awfully painful and very hu miliating.
