THE PEOPLE AND THE STREETRAILWAY

Tbe G!c be baa little Bear .that thecampaign which the street railwaycompany has tarried on without inter-mission for so many months to securethe immense prize that it is after willavail. For just as many months TheGlobe, representing the opinion ofvery nearly the whole community, hasbeen following on its trail. Everyphase of the question has been pre-sented and ev< ry danger pointed out.Corporation Counsel Michael hasstood like a rock for public right, andto him more than to any other mustcredit be given for the strong positionin which we stand today. The mem-bers of the council with very few ex-ceptions have stood by the people, andthe people themselves have not beonslow in expressing their wishes totheir representatives.

All the members of the council havenow been placed on record by inter-views in our columns, and it is reason-ably clear where they will stand at

the final conference to be held a weekhence. The labors of the street rail-way company have been incessant andsevere. It has used threats wrirre itthought threats would be effective,and smooth Avoids and promises

where these would not avail. It hascaptured a few weak-kneed citizens,to whom a crumb thrown scornfullytoday means more than a fortune to-morrow. It has dazzled the eyes of afew persons owning or interested inidle real estate along some of theroutes where extensions are proposed.

It has caused a little wavering on thepart of a few members of the councilwho will doubtless return to theiroriginal opinion, unless they are pre-pared for an unpleasant time withtheir constituents. It has not carriedits point; and we believe it impossiblethat it should.

There is but one thing for the city

to do; as The Globe has maintainedfrom the outset, and this is to adhereto its present position and carry onthe suit against the street railwaycompany to the end. Eet us not for amoment forget that the real stakecontended for is a vast sum of moneyranging from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000,according to the growth of St. Pauland the increase of street travel. Thatis what the gross earnings tax wi!lamount to for the thirty-five yearsthat the company's franchise has stillto run. It is an enormous amount, andwe do not blame the street railwaycompany for trying to escape paymentif it can. We should do somethingmore than blame the members of thecouncil if by any act of theirs thisevasion should be made possible. Noman who votes in favor of it wili everbe able to expunge that record.

We have absolutely nothing to gainby any form of compromise. We arespeaking now with reference to theimposition of the gross earnings tax.If the company should consent to that,it might be worth our while to confarfurther. A compromise that omits thegross earnings tax is not a compro-mise at all, but a sheer surrender.The people of St. Paul will not listenJo it The company has, indeedj offer-

Ed nothing In exchange. As TheGlobe has repeatedly shown, its so-

called concessions are merely proffersof what it wishes and has already de-

termined to do in Its own interest.The people have nothing to gain byyielding and everything to win by

standing fast.Already several meetings have been

held and others have been called to

consider this subject before the con-ference on Feb. 9. We hope thatthe people will come together in every

section of the city and express them-selves so forcibly that no member ofthe council will dare to disregard their

commands. We can promise for ourpart that any who are unfaithful to

their trust will not be allowed to dropinto oblivion or have their act passed

unremarked. No greater responsibil-ity has perhaps been placed upon anycity council than that which restsupon the present body in the present

crisis. The rights of the people mustbe maintained.

"Bathhouse John" Coughlin is acandidate for mayor of Chicago stand-ing on the platform, "Lift the lid andkeep it lifted." There in more of men-ace to the ambitions of other candi-dates to the mayoralty in that plat-

! form than is apparent to the man whois not acquainted with the people ofthe dear old town of Chicago.

THE NEW REIGN OF TERRORIt is apparent that Russia is once

more in the grip of the reactionariesThis is according to the inevitable lawof the swing of human nature fromone extreme to another. The grant ofany measure of liberty or reform bya government absolutely despotfctyrannical for centuries fires a revolu-tionary spark among the people. Theslightest assertion on the part of thepeople of their mere rights as humanbeing . provokes a new scourging anlmultiplies mass s.

The peo*ple of Russia were unpre-pared for the opportunity that cameto them ten days ago. Had they beeneducated into the necessity of Imme-diate and persistenl action, had theybeen hardened by despair, as steel istempered, they would have gone on.By this time the air of Russia would

I black with Finokf ;md hersoil soaked with blood, but libertywoirtfl have been on its way. Un-r> ady as they were, unequal to thogreat and sudden emergency, theyhave fallen back into a more unhappyestate. At the same time, the authori-ties have been provoked to new dem-onstration of their power and to theaccomplishment of a bitter revenge.

We shall hear grim news from Rus-sia from this time on. Every promi-nent liberal will be marked for punish-

ment. Every man who sympathizes

with the people will have to hurry intoconcealment or exile. All the rigors

of the worst regimes will be repeated.

The authorities see retaliation in this.Despotism in Russia is ultimatelydoomed, but it may be made to lastthrough the day of the tyrants whonow hold sway. They can maintainthemselves for a brief space only byexercising unsparingly their power.

To execute, to search, to imprison, toexile, to shoot down upon the spot allthose who question ttyeir autocraticright is their only hope of salvation.

There is and there can be no middleground. The czar, weak-minded asho is, terrified, incapable of governinghimself, cannot do other than surren-der his work to the strong hands thatsurround him. These hands are redwith human blood, and more mustflow while they harry the country intoa temporary submission. This willlast until the patience of the people isutterly broken; and then they will riseagain, and this time to some purpose.Until then one of the darkest pages inall the evil history of Russia remainsto be written.

Gen. Trepoff is not so anxious to get

close to the great, throbbing heart ofthe Russian people that he is goinga-slumming all by himself.

WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLEThe attempt is still going forward,

for some inscrutable reason, to jam

the new code prepared by the statuterevision commission through the legis-lature. Portions of it are being re-ported and there is a strange anxiety,for which we do not pretend to ac-count, in many quarters to have themadopted. The bulk of the legislatureseems still to linger under the spell ofthe strange delusion that it is com-pelled by some inscrutable obligationto do something with this revision at

this session. C)n that basis it is pre-paring to adopt the whole or a part ofthe motley work. If it shall do this,it is our purpose to see that it carriesproper responsibility.

There is no reason why the legisla-ture at this session should take anyaction upon the work of the revisioncommission, and there are many rea-sons why it should not- No harm cancome from delay. This legislature isjust as free to go upon its own wayand pass, amend or repeal such lawsas it thinks necessary as any otherlegislature assembled in the history ofthe state. As far as its freedom ofaction is concerned, the revision com-mission might never have existed. Allthis extraordinary notion that it mustdo something with the code before itis free to act on general legislation isa delusion and a myth.

On the other hand, the argumentsagainst action are so cogent as toconvince at once any rational mind.

It has been proved that the propose,code is full of practically revolutionary changes. It has been proved thatthese are so many in number and sothoroughly scattered throughout thework, without anything to indicatetheir presence, that nothing but averbal comparison of the new lawwith the old, a matter requiringmonths to complete, would malce It

safe to adopt any portion of the com-mission's conclusions. One change

after another has been exposed, roradical, so unnecessary, so amazing in

its character, that only the wildestand most daring mind could conceiveof adopting this work or any portion

of it without a searching inquiry.The Globe has taken the lea-1

and borne the brant of the battle indisclosing the imperfections of the re-vision commission's work. This isnow acknowledged on all sides. Forsome reason, inexplicable and unim-aginable by us, the Republican news-papers have stuck their heads into thesand whenever the code was men-tioned. This is not a party fight. Wedo not care whether the members ofthe commission were Republicans or

Democrats. We know only that theirutterly improper and dangerous prep-

aration cannot be accepted by eitherRepublican or Democrat except at hi.^own peril. To proceed with the adop-tion of this code at this session is no

less than treason to the state, v imay entail unnumbered ills upon its

people. Against that we protest; anlif it be done those who do it must ac-cept responsibility.

The fining of a man in the sum of$10 for swearing through a telephone

looks like an attack by a subornedjudiciary on th^ right of free speech.

A man who pays the telephone priceought to be allowed to choose his ownlanguage.

MEN, WOMEN AND PHOTOGRAPHSNowadays, to judge from their

simultaneous appearance, the manwho writes a book takes the precau-

tion to inclose a photograph with hismanuscript. Xo one, indeed, abreast of

the times and desirous of having a ca-reer would think in these progressivetimes uf starting out upon it unpho-tograjjhed. Women rested loiAccustomed to distributing their coun-terfeit presentments among their inti-mates only, it was difficult for them toget used to the thought of having theirpictures stared at by an undiscrimi-nating public. Moreover, there was al-ways to deter them the awful thoughtthat the photograph would not turn outwell when printed. Marie Corelli, webelieve, held off longer than any otherwoman in the public eye. She waswillingto give pen pictures of herselfas the heroine of her own novels, buta photograph—perish the thought.But within ihe year Miss Corelli,

vowing she would ne'er consent, con-sented. Her photograph was publish-

ed. N

But now that women have becomeused to seeing their pictures in thenewspapers and the magazines, a fewpublishers have come to the conclu-sion that the victory won in persuadingthem is, at best, of doubtful value.One literary magazine that has beenmaking it a point to publish the pic-tures of all bluestockings who haveachieved success in the literary world,

complains that these writers are notwilling that the same photograph shallbe used twice. Whenever a new bookis published by them, they insist on a

•new photograph. And this wail hasdrawn expression from a few newspa-per editors. One of the latter admitsthat he has received sharp letters fromwomen calling him to task for reprint-ing photographs of them in gownsthat, because of their antiquated style,are telltale.

Most fair minded people will admit,however, that in this matter of thepublication of photographs men havemuch the better of it. To judge fromthe pictures that are published of himin the newspapers, the politician of to-day looks exactly the same as he didtwenty-five years ago. His picture asit appears year after year mutely tes-tifies to the fact that he has discoveredthe fountain of perpetual youth. Notso with his prominent sister. Everywoman knows that the photograph otherself ages much more quickly thanshe does. She knows that the picture

taken of her ten years ago makes herlook ten years older than she does atthe present time. Her protest, there-fore, to magazines and newspapersthat whenever she paints a picture orreads a paper or publishes a book,some old photograph showing hertwenty years older than she really i9shall not be resurrected, would seemto be justified. Chivalry demands thatIn every case a new plate be madefrom a x>rand new photograph.

A Kansas City paper claims thatcounterfeit $100 bills are circulatingin that town. The claim will be eyed

askance by those who know KansasCity advertising methods. It is ob-viously based on a desire to make thepublic believe that there are real $100bills in circulation there.

Perhaps this obvious disposition onthe part of the federal authorities totie cans to the Hon. T. Bixby and theequally Hon. John Goodnow Is in-spired by a desire to get them backinto Minnesota to take up the workof reorganizing the g. o. p. in theseparts.

Yet they falsified tally sheets andstuffed ballot boxes with a free hand.The legislature can expose the fraudsof the female electors without sub-jecting them to penalties for felony.There may be those who object to this,believing that a woman who corruptsthe ballot box should take pot luck andjail with men who do the same.

What the Editors SayThe proposition appears to be made

seriously that the legislature ought toadopt the entire code us preserved bythe revision commission, without stop-ping to see what is in it. The idea isso monstrous and so repugnant to ev-ery thoughtful consideration of the in-terests of the state that one could notat first realize the enormity of theproposition.

An Oriental atmosphere will settleabout the premises and on the stage ofthe Metropolitan when "A ChineseHoneymoon" opens its engagement to-night. "A Chinese Honeymoon." unlikemost of the musical farces from Lon-don, has only one dramatist, GeorgeDance, and one composer, Howard Tal-bot. although in the American presen-tation there are several interpolatednumbers. In writing the book GeorgeDance took suggestions from the old1-rench comic opera, Fleur de Lis."The score is full of bright things,whkhthis city is sure to enjoy, among thembeing 'Roly Poly," "A Paper Fan." "IWant to Be a Lidy," and "Oo Long Li."The usual Saturday matinee will begiven.

Frank Campeau, whose picturesquecharacterization of Trampas. the bad.bad man In 'The Virginian." whichwill be seen at the Metropolitanopera house next week, gains theundying disfavor of all the matineemisses, is a young actor whom fate andphysiognomy seem to have agreed tokeep in the ranks of stage "heavyman" for all time. Campeau is a youngman. a good actor and a personable,pleasant sort of a fellow in private life.who has ambitions, as have most heavymen, to some time reform and emerg-ing from the turgid depths of stage in-iquity to shine in the lens-centeredlimelight as a virtuous hero who savesthe maiden, pays off the mortgage andgets all the applause in the last act-It is as Trampas, however, that hissinuous iniquity tinds its most artisticexemplification. Campeau is French-Canadian by heredity, American bybirth, a brother of a famous baseballplayer and manager, and possessed ofan idea that some day he will j-lay vreal hero who should be typi< ally Amer-ican because he will be an AmetkanIrtdian.
