h" 18B6**t*^ & A Great Telegraphic Service The Journal with its full Associated Press report, its New York Sun Special Service, and its own speoial wire service from Washington, New York, Chicago and Bos- ton, and from its army of correspondents in the Northwest, has always distanced all competitors. In a similar way The Sunday Journal has succeeded in leading the procession. This has been ac- complished by the organization of a Wonderfully Complete Telegraphic Service, which covers the world and lets noth- ing escape. In every one of the four issues of The Sunday Journal all local competitors have been left far in the rear. Exclusive tele'graphie stories of the highest importance have been the invariable rule in The Sunday Journal, and nothing has been missed. Here is the Secret of this Great ss: There are THE JOURNAL VOLUME XXVIINO. 893. LtFClAN SWEPT. MANAGER. PUBLISHED EVERYDAY. Hearst for Mayor of New York. Tammany is pretty smooth and Tam-man ee'' may be the author of tho scare about Hearst winning the mayoralty of New York. Undoubtedly Hearst has made a distinct impression in the campaign. He stands for mu nicipal ownership, and there are lots of ownership men in all parties in New York. Mayor McClellan is a moderate ownership man. He has built and is operating municipal ferries. He came out before the legislature for a muni cipal gas plant. Mr. Ivms, the repub lican candidate, has declared that if elected he will condemn and confiscate the gas plants in New York and have city gas. Hearst can do nothing but out-Herod Herod in this field of as pirants foi popular favor. He favors the principle of municipal ownership of all public utilities. Ivins and McClel lan are for the seizure of certain monop olies in which private ownership has not given public satisfaction. Between the man who is for the principle and the men who are for the policy, the people are quite likely to take to the man whose platform is clear, simple and consistent. Leased Wires Running Into the Office of The Journal which carry all told from 50,000 to 70,000 words of tele- graphic news every Saturday night. LEASED WIRE NO. 1 The Big Report of the Publishers' Press Association, a great news association rivaling the Associated Press and serving over 400 newspapers of the United States, comes in over the first wire. This report covers the routine news of the country irreproachably, as well as bringing numerous special stories. LEASED WIRE NO. 2 The Unrivalled News Service of the New York Herald, the greatest news-gathering daily in the world, comes in over this wire, bringing not only the news of America but that of Europe and the world. Over this wire, too, comes the Special Service of the Chicago Record-Herald, which is its eastern namesake's western ally. LEASED WIRE NO. 3 The Special News Service of the Chicago Tribune, the greatest Sunday newspaper in the west, a territory which with its great army of correspondents it eovers better than any other agency, keeps the third wire as busy as can be. LEASED WIRE NO. 4 The News and Gossip of Washington, that great political center, is covered in luminous specials, famous the coun try over, by W. W. Jermane, head of The,Journal's Washington Bureau. His specials, together with the of- ferings of special correspondents in Chicago, Boston and New York and the specials of 1,000 other correspondents all over the Northwest, give the fourth wire no rest. This explains The Sunday-Journal's sensational success in "scooping" its contemporaries. The Page of Cabled News Printed in every Sunday Journal is only one manifestation of how this Unrivaled Telegraphic Service works out. It includes THE NEW YORK HERALD CABLES THE PUBLISHERS' PRESS CABLES THE GLOBE NEWS ASSOCIATION CABLES an I foreign news from every quarter from other sources. There isn't a line of old news in The Sunday Journal. It Is All New New? J. S. McLAIN, HDITOB. It was this sentiment which carried in Dunne in Chicago. The sentiment is not so strong New York because New York has not suffered so severely from bad service as Chicago. But it is there, and the insurance revelations showing the intimate relations between insur ance and great corporation managers has served to intensify it. In their anger at the men who have duped and de frauded, where shall the people turn? If they go to McClellan, they go to Murphy, who would put a price on New York at any time. If they go to Ivins, they go to Odell, who cannot be trusted in an emergency. A correspondent of the New York Times discusses the vot ers' dilemma. "There is," he says, only one thing for me to do, and that is to vote for William B. Hearst. I have no faith in Mr. Hearst. His pa pers are an abomination to me. I have no idea what kind of a mayor Mr. Hearst would make. ..Yet I feel that he is the only candidate for the mayoralty for whom I can vote with any show of self-respect and with any hope of getting the city out of the hands of the grafters and plunderers.' Mr. Hearst's candidacy thus appeals to a large body of independent voters in a negative way. There are thou sands who would be glad to see both the machines downed, and if they can bring themselves to believe that Hearst would make even a tolerable mayor, they would smite Messrs. Murphy and Odell in a manner greatly to be ad mired. Tammany has seen the possi bilities, and it is no doubt propagating the idea that Hearst has a chance against McClellan, and Ivins has no chance, the obiect being, of course, to draw the votes of regular republicans from Ivins to McClellan in order to lay the ghost of Hearstism. One observes with regret that there was no way to prevent the appeal dt Mr. Whiteman. Russia's Latest Trials. The internal condition of Eussia is obscurely an outcome of the war. The revolutionary spirit which shot across the country while the armies in Man churia were being driven baek from every fight and the navies of the czar were going to the bottom as fast as guns could send them was no doubt dis appointed in the fact of peace being made. M. Witte pot ahead of the prop agandists of revolution with his hon orable peace. The people of Russia saw their hopes set back years and saw enthroned again an autocracy with an intelligent mouthpiece. The revo lutionists do not want M. Witte at the head of a responsible cabinet. He is not their man. He is a moderate, but is susceptible to court influences. The fact that his wife has been received by the empress is said to have done more to bring M. Witte in line with the czar's program than anything else Nicholas could haye done. Therefore the Gorkys and the rest do not trust Witte. The strike among the railroad men, it will be observed, is not an industrial strike. Russian laborers do not know anything about an industrial strike in which the auestion of wages or hours is predominant. They would not know what to do with such a strike. What they understand is that they have quit Friday Evening, THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. to show their sympathy with revolu tion. What M. Witte is expected to' quell is not a strike for wages tout a strike for freedom. As a courier of thtf czar called to the head of responsible state, and supposedly in favor of free dom of speech and freedom of the press, his first duty will be to shut off free dom of action by bayonets and bullets. The ,\ob will not be to the new count's liking. Witte is essentially a granger statesman. He comprehends industrial progress and agricultural development. He is bold in borrowing money, but he wants it to develop assets which go toward paying back the loans. He will find it a discouraging task to borrow capital to be expended in putting down rebellion. But nobody knows better than he that there can be no progress in Russia until either the czar is de throned or the people become again loyal to him. New York is stirred to its foundation by Jerome's candidacy. There's nothing In It for the push. The President on Lynch Law. The president at Little Bock dealt that inveterate nuisance Governor Jeff Davis a blow which squelched him and which caused every decent man to throw up his hat anew for the president. Davis introduced into his speech a de fense and an apology for lynching, ex patiating on the horrible character of the crimes of which lynching is made the punishment. The president lost no time in rebuking the governor, saying: "To avenge one hideous crime by an other is to reduce the avenger to the bestial level. Another thing which makes lynch law so abhorrent is that three-fourths of the crimes for which it is invoked are others than those against the women of the country. Governor, you and I and all others -in authority owe to our people to drive out the re proach and the menace of lynch law in the United States.' The president stated the exact situa tion as regards lynching men in the south. The pretense that negroes are burned, tortured or hung for cjimes against women is only a pretense now. Negroes are desperately dealt with for crimes which call for no wild outburst of race passion. The yearning to over awe the negro and "put him down" is extending, with the result that white men lend themselves to the terrorism of lynching without provocation. It is the spirit of the Ku Klux gangs over again. Senator Clark "deplores" insurance finance. It must be worse than jve thought for. Chicago's Double Header. The rump convention of shippers at Chicago is of doubtful value to the rail road cause. It is no news to the gen eral public that the largest shippers of the country do not want government regulation of rates. They are very well satisfied with the present system with its opportunities for preferential agree ments of various kinds. It is in order to give the little fellows an equal chance tha.t closer government super-, vision is demanded. The convention of shippers now in session at Stude baker hall serves only to focus atten tion on' them and rouse the natural pre sumption that the "antis" are enjoying special privileges which the Esch-Town send bill is aimed to abolish. The railroads, of course, do not care so much for public sentiment as for the decision of congress. The aim of the Parry convention is to neutralize the effect of the Steinway hall gathering, which was called for the purpose of giv ing President Roosevelt a business men's indorsement, and impressing on congress the need for prompt action on the president's program. No doubt, the Parry convention will have an im pressive and convincing effect on sena tors and congressmen, who are accus tomed to taking their cues from spe cial interests. To this extent the bolt at Chicago is of value to the railroad cause. It must not be supposed, how ever, that con'gress can long hold out against an aroused public sentiment, and there is nothing that will arouse the latent spirit of the American people more quickly than a bohi attempt of moneyed interests to dictate legislation. The Steinway hall convention does not bristle with such impressive names in the world of finance and commerce as the other gathering, but it represents the demand of the American people for a "square deal," and that demand must sooner or later be respected. Much is being made of the "gag rule" which excluded the Parry dele gates from the contention. The Journal is unable to discover that any one has been gagged. The con vention was called for a specific pur pose. Its object was to urge con gress to give larger powers to the inter state commerce commission. Persons jiot in sympathy with that object %ere not wanted in the meeting, and had no more right to demand admittance there than a democratic marching club has to force its way into a republican conven tion. The Parry delegates were not gagged. They exercised the great American privilege of hiring a hall and speaking their minds, and the two con ventions are receiving equal news atten tion from the press. The Parry con vention has-informed President Roose velt in a courteous resolution that they are sure he means well, but that the "radical changes" he proposes are likely to "jar and disturb" the coun1 try's matchless prosperity. The Bacon convention has adopted ringing resolu tions in favor of the presidents pro gram for government control. All of the gen'tlemen who went to Chicago to talk have had their say, and the public is highly edified. It is now up to con gress. If congress is mindful only' of the wishes of the country's largest manu facturers and shippers, it will reject the president's program. If it wants to safeguard the interests of small deal ers and consumers, as well, it will give the interstate commerce commission power to name and enforce a reasonable rate. Mr. Henry M. Whitney, the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of 'i .m WSgfeg Massachusetts, declares that the presi dent said to him In an Interview during which Senator Lodge was present, that he, Mr. Roosevelt, was in favor of con tinental free trade, and would do all he could In favor of It, Mr. Whitney Quotes this as proof that tne democratic platform of reciprocity with Canada represents the president rather than the republican platform of higji tariff. Senator Lodge has been making a special point in his address of the absolute necessity of sus taining the president. Suffering from appendicitis, a young lady of Ashley, Mich., underwent a fast of twenty-three days and was cured. The case wais serious and an operation was contemplated as the only means of sav ing life. But the attending physician finally pronounced the knife certain death and the operation was abandoned. The girl took up the fast as a last resort and it made good. Edison says we eat too much anyway. Merry war is being waged against quaok doctors at Battle Creek. Mich.

There is a seeming incongruity in nam ing such a large ship as the Rhode Island for such a small state. The vessel could not be shown off the coast of Rhode 'Island unless in sections George Meredith, the novelist, did not break his leg trying to get into the "six best-seller" class, but just the same you* ought to read "Rlehard Feverel" and "The Egotist."

THE PACKING BUSINESS ANTHROPY A PHIL- Kansas City Journal. The complaint of the packers that evi dence collected by Commissioner Gar field is being used against them in their trial sounds quite funny when we recall that It was Garfield's report which pic tured these same packers as philan thropic gentlemen engaged In the laud able business of supplying meat to ie masses at a loss. PREJUDICED Chicago Journal. As a last resort, the indicted packers will probably ask for a change of venue, on the ground that the people ojf the United States, including judges and puries, are all consumers of meat and consequently are prejudiced against them. By W. P. Klrkwood. NOVEL SHOWING THE COMMER- CIAL GAME AS PLAYED BY MODERN RULES."Yes, life was for the strong, all there was in it! I saw it so then, and I have lived it so all my life," In those words of the story's central figure is the key to Robert Herrick's latest novel, The Memoirs of an American Citi zen. Life is for the strong who play the game according to the rules in vogue at the time they live, and it is a picture of such a game that Mr. Herrick gives. Edward V. Harrington, a green boy from Indiana, drifts to Chicago to make his own way in the world. Chicago's greeting to the youth' is not a kindly one, but the boy gets a place In a meat shop and goes to work. Soon he is working for a packing company, packing companies at the time being small but ambitious. He takes a "flyer" in pork and makes $5,000. This he invests in a small plant In an adjacent town and "on the side" begins a trade In special brands of meats. The business prospers, and soon one of the big houses, a rival of the one he works for, is after his plant. He-sells out for $70,000, but retains an advanced position with the house for which he had once been a driver, and later becomes a partner.,. Then begins a battle with the big rivalfor complete control of the meat trade on the big rival's part, for commercial life on Harrington's part. Personally Harrington is honest. He boasts: "There's no man and no woman living has the right to say he's the worse off on my account." But commercially he does not hesitate to corrupt a judge or buy a legislature. EOBEET HERRICK, Author of "Memoirs of an American Citizen." ss t,s tvffxyrv* Interwoven with this battle of thft packing giants, is a matter-of-fact, yet poetically just, matrimonial affair, and a stfmewhat mysterious complication with a woman who for her interest in the game, or battle, whichever we choose to call it, should be a man. In this wholly inadequate outline one does not see the big wheels and the big forces at work as he does in ttis story "Traffic, business, industry, the work of the world" going forward. In the story one feels the throb of the thing, he sees the gigantic accomplishment of Titanic forces, he sees the Titans them selves at work and at war, he wonders at the results of accom plishment, but still more at the results of waste which always go with war whether in commerce or battle for blood, and he wonders what will be the outcome in the real life of which the story is so striking a picture. Is it true, the reader asks, that with our present system of govern ment no effective check upon the opera tions of capital can be devised? Har rington expresses such a belief, and his belief epitomizes that of many who are in the "game" today. Mr Herrick paints his picture with broad and sweeping strokes as befits his subject. Little attention is paid to fine shading and delicate details. Those are left to suggestion But so skilful is the drawing, so effective are the broad strokes, that the suggestion easily takes care of the minor matters The picture is one to produce a lasting impression, to aid in enlightenment as to how the big corporations do business and become master monopolies if only the views of Harrington are not taken as a final gos pel of business probity. "The strong must rule," doubtless, but they need not rob The people must see that the op portunities of the strong for robbing are reduced to a minimum and that their rule Is righteous, for the people, after all, have the decision in their own hands.

WOMAN AND HUMOR.A party of men, among whom was Colonel William Jennings Bryan, were one night waiting for a train in a depot hotel in a small Missouri town, says H. T. Dobbins in November Llppincotts. The landlady was the only woman present. The talk turning upon the alleged In ability of women to see the point of a joke as readily as do the men, Mr. Bryan took the ground that a sense of humor was as much a part of the feminine make-up as it was that of man, but that It merelyjacked opportunity for develop ment "To illustrate," said he, "take the story of a party of excursionists in the Aegean sea. When approaching the Grecian coast the party assembled about the rail to enjoy the beautiful scenery One lady turned Inquiringly to a gentleman at her right and said 'What Is that white off there on the horizon'' 'That is the snow on the mountains,' replied the gentleman addressed 'Well, that's funny,' she replied. 'My husband said it was grease.' All of the men In the group laughed noisily at Mr. Bryan's story, but the landlady looked puzzled. Finally she said "But, Mr. Bryan, how did the grease get on the mountain'" Mr. Bryan at once dropped the defense of women as born humorists. "THE HORSE IN AMERICA."In view of the fact that the estimated taxa ble value of the horses of the United States this year is more than $1,200,000,- 000, there seems to be no need of an ex cuse on John Gilmer Speed's part for a book on The Horse In America, especially when he has made his book a good one. Mr. Speed believes the common horse is doomed. He, therefore, believes in care ful breeding In addition to chapters on breeding, however, he has devoted a good deal of space to the handling and using of horses. The result is a book of valuable information for all in any way interested in horses. The oniy objection Minnea politans will find to the work is that It :BaiHWi!a*HSsj3BisjBt^ Defective Page Intentional Duplicate Exposure October 27, 1905. says nothing about the great Dan Patch, but then it is not a catalog of equine heroes.

The importance of Rockefeller, ta Judge by advance interest in tne book, has a fairly extensive branch, in the British isles. THE .MAGAZINES Individual or Government Control. Telling the story of the Rallrpad Rate in the current McClure'a, Bay Stannard Baker sees small hope for justice for the small shipper as long as the power of the railroad to fix rates remains in the hands ot individuals. He says of the present situation: The railroad is indeed the essential tool of In dustry thruont the world. It is the regulator of business. It holds the scales of destiny. It de cides where cities shall be located, and bow fast they shall grow, It marks out In no small degree the wheat and corn areas, It sets bounda ries for the business of the coal miners of Illi nois as against those of Pennsylvania, It marks definitely how far the lumber of Washington shall go, it decides whether flour shall be manu factured in Minneapolis or Buffalo, and whether the chief export business In grain shall be done at the port of New York or at the port of New Orleans. And the fact arising out of these conditions, the overwhelming fact, is that these enormous powers, the control of the very instrument of business destiny, Is in the hands of a compata tlvely few private citizens who are handling the tool not to build up the nation properly, but to fill their own pocksts in as short a time as possible. Thanksgiving Day and Football.The editor of The World Today for November comes to the defense of football as a Thanksgiving Day sport, or rather to sports, including football, as proper Thanksgiving Day diversion. He says: Are we then hypocrites? Is Thanksgiving day a farce? It depends on how we think gratitude ought to be expressed. Athletic sports are cer tainly out of keeping with Decoration Day, with itg sad and sacred memories. But Just as cer tainly they are not out of accord with Thanks giving Day. Altho it smacks a little of immod esty to assume to know what the Almighty likes and dislikes, it certainly seems as if be mnst find something very acceptable In the elemental happiness of his creatures. A man does not need to be miserable in order to be grateful He is not necessarily ungrateful because he is hap py. Even the Puritans killed the fatted turkey. Particularly noteworthy in the World Today for November are the illustrations, which are unusually fine.

November Pearsons is a magazine of many stories and much other interesting reading. AMUSEMENTS 'Sun- MetropolitanEthel Barrymore In day." Ethel Barrymore has a most charming personality. It is strong enough to hold together the threads of the rather loosely woven play of "Sunday" compelling enough to make the camp-bred girl a possibility and clever enough to show the dawning womanhood in the girl Sun day, and later leave traces of the child Sunday, the woman. Miss Barrymore's Sunday is a most lovable character, boyishly frank, as a girl would be when reared by four rough men, but gentle, honest, faithful, with a heart full of love and sunshine and with a sense of humor that dimples the eyes and lips. Sunday Is not at all a plausible girl, but Miss Barrymore makes her magically possible. -Her refinement seems a rare and beautiful, but quite credible thing, her loyalty to her "boys" as natural as it is charming. Her face is very expressive, the eyes brighten with laughter or grow tense and strained with fear and anguish. Her strange, husky voice is almost a monotone, but it is th& more effective when broken in the su preme moments of the role. Miss Barry more's Sunday is far in advance of her Cousin Kate, in which she was seen here last. The play is a rather mild melodrama, but it gives every member of the cast an opportunity. Its humor is spontaneous, not epigrammatic, and the interest Is not allowed to flag. The underlying problem whether it is ever Justifiable to kill a man is never lost sight ofu and yet it intrudes itself only at crucial* moments. Sunday is a young orphan who has been brought up In the western mining camp by the four rough miners. To the rude cabin comes a nun to ask the girl to go with her to a convent to finish the education "the boys" have begun. Unable to come to any decision as to whether it will be best for the girl to go or stay they resort to "cutting the cards." The nun is persuaded to make the final test of fortune and wins the right to take Sunday away. But a young Englishman, the" scapegrace son of an old family, has fallen in love with Sunday's pretty face and her growing interest, that only needs the right touch to ripen it into love, is very innocent and very natural. She fo slow to understand when he asks her to go to England with him, but not as his wife, and when she does understand her cold scorn of him and of his love maddens him. Jacky, the youngest of "the boys," rescues her and kills the Englishman. Scarcely a word is spoken, but in the drawn face and the wide eyes of Sunday there Is all of horror and fear, as she slips shudderlngly away to obey Jacky and go with the nun. A year later she is a woman grown, but she has still the radiant joy, the frank, sensitive nature of the child Sunday. She is on a visit to her aunt in England, and chance takes her to Brlnthorp Abbey, the home of the brother of the man Jacky shot. Nothing is prettier than Sunday's loyalty to her "boys" in her aristocratic surroundings. There is something very genuine and sweet in her reading of the quaint letter from "Lively," and In her certainty that anyone who was inter ested in her would be Interested In her "boys" and In all the homely incidents of their life, Into which she enters with such sincerity and enjoyment. She avows her love for Colonel Brlnthorp in the same frankly honest way, but when she realizes that his dead brother must stand between them she returns to America. Her renunciation is made to shield Jacky, the thought of her own self-sacrifice is put resolutely behind her and she -goes bravely back to the poor little western cabin. Colonel Brlnthorp follows her, andi when the mystery Is cleared away, she slips into his arms with a strange little moan that has as much of sorrow as of joy in it. Miss Barrymore is supported by a strong cast. The four "boys," Joseph Brennon as Towser, Harrison Armstrong as Davy, William Sampson as Lively, and John Barrymore as-Jacky, are splendid types of native Americans, rough, kindly and just, each is a distinct portrait. The picture of Lively is a flawless bit of character representation. Jacky as the youngest of "the boys," Is drawn by Miss Barrymore's brother, who has much 01 the talent of this famous family. Tor mented by his conscience, he is still sure that he did the only thing thai a man could do under the circumstances in shooting Brlnthorp. There was humor, but more pathos in his scene with his kindly fellows who have read the medical book in their efforts to discover his mal ady, make out their own cure and strive to enforce it. The Tom Oxley of Charles Harbury is particularly good, quiet and elective. Bruce McRae Is the veay vincing and earnest lover, a splendid: I of the unaffected Englishman.
