Envy's Volcano Not Yet Extinct.
It does not take a great deal to wash
off the rouge of friendliness toward this
city in St Paul, and the Pioneer Press
keeps in tvpe some of the language of
1890, to be brought out when occasion
demands. The Pioneer sounds the on
set this mommg. Its editorial on the
proposed location of a 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 lealousy" 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 stench from a 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
rtorlal is explained by the news item in
he 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 marvelous effect upon the odors cre
ated by a packing house. W under
stand that the one at South St. Paul
actually lmpro-v es the atmospheno con
ditions. If St. Paul could only get
another and bigger plant, especially at
he expense of Minneapolis, the whole
packing region would become a nosegay
which people would go 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 and
persons of special education in hvgiene.
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 that
a modern rendering plant, like a prop
erly constructed garbage crematory, is
practicall-y innocuous. putting the
plant at South St. Paul, where there
would be scarcely room to turn round,
and none 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 an
intolerable nuisance to themselves and
others. But by taking plenty of land
and building as they propose to build
a i New Brighton, the pollution of either
water or air becomes so reduced that
it becomes a negligible quantity.
A Missouri republican county conven
tion indorsed the administration of Gov
ernor Folk, a democrat Now a Kansas
democratic county convention has in
structed its nominee for the legislature
to ignore party lines in favoring or op
posing measures, and to look only to the
welfare of the state. Will the old politi
cal bosses who run us please note this
familiar handwriting on the wall?
The Third Term Will Not Down.
President Boosevelt has been solemn
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
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 a 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 wo 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 sledding to
attain the object.
The plain purpose of Washington
was to leave an example behind
him of adhesion to republican
principles. Eotation office is
a cardinal tenet of a republican form of
government. While hereditary execu
tives have lost some of the appearance
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 its power
grows constantly and its influence ad
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 a
permanent executive exercising almost
kingly prerogatives bears mute testi
mony to the retrograde state of edu
cation and general intelligence in Mexi
co. The freedom with which we change
public servants in this republic as em
phatically testifies to our advanced civi
lization which puts the country above
the individual. W have no fear that
the government will disintegrate when
we change presidents. W have culti
vated in the public schools the idea that
any boy may be, president. The coxol
lary of th at proposition is that no oe

Speculating 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 la
boring men and their families. The
bank appears to have been systemati
cally looted of its 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 a savings institu
tion adds to the aggravation of the of
fense, but it also adds to the responsi
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 invetting them in wildcat schemes?
Is it possible under the laws of Illinois
for the funds of a savings bank to be
thus invested legally? If so the state
has failed conspicuously of its duty to
protect the depositors by adequate laws.
If not the bank examiner has failed
miserably of his duty to know where
and how the funds of the bank were
invested.
Such a use of the funds of a savings
institution would be impossible in the
state of Minnesota without guilty con
nivance on the part of the examiner
and the officers of the bank.
These are the days when the umbrella
kleptomaniac has his worst attacks.
Voluntary Fare Reduction.
Western railroads make strenuous ob
lections every time a reduction in pas
senger fares is suggested, and claim that
there is no profit in their passenger bus
iness 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
to make 2 cents a mile the maximum
passenger fare.
The action of some eastern railroads
will furnish an argument for the reduc
tion. 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 its mileage east of Pitts
burg and Erie. There will be a flat
rate of 2 cents to the public, and
what amounts to a 2-cent rate will be
given thru transferable mileage books.
After Sept. 1 there will be 1,000-mile
tickets on sale for $20, good in the
hands of any holder. These also will
be good in eastern territory. The Penn
sylvania's voluntarv action, coming so
soon after the abolition of passes,
makes a strong point in the argument
that 2-cent fares are reasonable when
everybody pays.
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 the
eastern roads. There are not so many
people in the west, but they travel far
ther and oftener than their eastern
cousins. Our population is more shift
ing, and business trips are more fre
quent and over greater territory. Trains
going out of the twin cities to the north
and west are loaded every day, and of
ten overcrowded. This is on a 3-cent
basis, with favored travelers getting
2 cents or even 2-cent rates with mile
age books.
A general reduction to a 2-cent rate
would stimulate traffic in the west as it
has in the east, and in a short time
would doubtless result in greater gross
earnings from passenger business, ac
cording to the experience of eastern
roads, which have tried it. The railroads
of the northwest could do a great stroke
of business in winning public favor by
making such a reduction voluntarily,
without waiti ng for coercive legisla
tion.
The Pioneer Press fears that our civic
soenter will be located northeast, a little
to this side of N ew Brighton.
Illinois Likes the Primary.
The party primary is indorsed by^the
Chicago News, which declares that thru
it party voters are now enabled to Rive
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 a 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
suring.
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 thralWom of bosses would willingly
go back to the old state of affairs.
The occasional success pf 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 suc
ceeding under the old system. Out of
the primary Minneapolis got at the out
set a most unfortunate nomination for
the mayoralty. But it is observable
that there has been constant improve
ment in the character of the men who
have asked o* this or other offices in
the city since. '*Great stress is laid

A STUDY IN SUBCONSCIOUS FUNC
TIONING.A book bearing the 'title The
Subconscious, at once suggests a work
on the "subliminal," but that is not what
one finds in a recent book to which Pro
fessor Joseph Jastrow of the University
of Wisconsin has given, the above title
Professor Jastrow's bOek, on the con
trary, is simply an elaborate review of
the varieties of mental experiences in
which subconscious processes participate.
The survey first emphasizes the wide
range of subconscious, actiyities in the nor
mal every-day life, and under this divi
sion absent-mindedness, habit-automa
tisms, the simpler dream experiences and
dream actions, as well as the distribution
of attention in complex activities, and
the general submerged, tone of much of
our thinking, feeling and doing are fully
illustrated. With similar treatment the
abnormal field is invaded, passing in re
view the pertinent experiences of the
actions of drugs, of hypnotic conditions,
pf trance states, and the dissolution of
personality in hysterical and allied dis
orders. The whole is written with the
view of meeting popular comprehension.

J. J". Jacobspn of Madison may yet re- I
turn to the legislature, where he served
with such distinction and such benefit
to the state for six sessions of the lower
house. There has been a strong demand
for him to go back to the house and lead
in reform legislation. So far he has
withstood that demand, and his' succes
sor in the house, Ellas Rachie, has al
ready filed for another term. An effort
was made to get him to run for the sen
ate Senator O. Q. Dale of Madison urged
him to run, offering to step aside, but Mr.
Jacobson refused Progressive public
men who have the welfare of reform
measures at heart prefer to see the man
from Lac qui Parle in the house, and
they are renewing their efforts to bring
him back. It would be a financial sac
rifice to him, and one which he declared
he would not make again, but" it is hoped
that he will in the end take a larger view
of the public interest, and consent to
serve another term, in what will be one
of the most important sessions in the
history of the state. The passage of the
tax amendment to the constitution this
fall Will pave the way for some con
structive tax legislation, and that one
subject will be big enough to engage the
entire attention of veterans like Jacobson.
The taxation and the railroad issues- will
be of ample importance to justify him
in returning for a good winter's work.
With a progressive republican governor
like A L. Cole to co-operate, with Eber
hart for lieutenant governor to nppolnt
the senate committees, and with Jacob
son in the house to keep things moving,
something ought to be accomplished in
that session
It is really unnecessary for the demo
crats to hold a convention in Minnesota
this fall. They have already opened the
headquarters for the fall campaign, a
month before the delegates are to assem
ble in Minneapolis, and all the delegates
can do 1s to adopt the platform and nom
inate the ticket prepared by Governor
Johnson's managers The democratic
campaign has opened in all respects ex
cept the formality of a convention and a
set speech from the governor A good
sized campaign fund has already been
raised, most of it by assessments on the
governor's appointees in high places and
low As told in The Journal else
where, this fund Is being used to line up
some of the republican papers for John
,son.
The democratic leaders are very anx
ious to have Winston of Minneap
olis run again for lieutenant governor,
realizing the strength which he gave
Johnson in Hennepin and elsewhere.
They would have no compunctions In
naming Winston again, and turning down
Judge Pendergast of Bemtdji, a
democratic wheelhorse, whose nomination
is strongly urged by his friends as a con
cession to the north country. It is doubt
fulr however, whether Mr. Winston can
be prevailed upon this time tb take any
sort of hand in the campaign. Since the
muss over the surveyor generalship, rela
tions between the governor and his for
mer running mate have been consider
ably strained It will be remembered
that Mr. Winston indorsed Mike Bres
lauer for appointment to that lucrative
office-. He felt entitled to name a man
for the place, after his sacrifice of time
and money for the ticket, but he found
that his choice was not going to be re
spected When he learned to his satis
faction that another man was slated for
appointment, ^Mr Winston blocked the
whole gamp by notifying *^the| governor

palgn fund, and that is about all the con1
nect^on Mr% Winston desires to have with

Speaking of campaign funds, it looks as
tho the prohibitionists would soon be
accused of running the real "boodle cam
paign" in Minnesota They have a state
fund of $40,000 already raised, and ex
pect to -make it $50,000 before election".
With this fund they will send out a small

book, "Minneapolis and the G. A. R.,
just issued by A. P. Connolly, a pioneex
resident of Minneapolis and a veteran
of the civil and Indian wars. The title
of the book does not fullv indicate
its character. It opens with a lively
historical sketch of Minneapolis, inter
spersed with personal reminiscence!
and a history of the G. A. R. Th*
chapters of particular interest, how
ever, are devoted to vivid accounts of
the battles of Birch Coulee and Wood
Lake and a description of the scenes at
Camp Release. Inasmuch as Mr Con
nolly was in the thick of the fighting
during the Sioux disturbances, these
chapters form a valuable contribution
to the history of the state.

commission men are ready. Antici
pating the immense demand for fresh
produce, arrangements have been made
for large shipments the entire week.

are on hand and there will be no danger
of a food shortage as far as the com
mission lines are concerned.
