The much-heralded "man with the muck rake" speech by the president is one of the best pieces of literature which Mr. Roosevelt has thrown off since he has been in the White House, where the strenuous character of his duties militates against the polishing of addresses to the point of nicety. But this address has evidently lain fallow in= the president's mind for some time and it appears clothed in a garb which does credit both to the author's patriot ism and scholarship. The president's main point is that In reform we need in addition to hon esty, sanity. He illuminates this point with an illustration of Lmcolnian homeliness and of telling force. "As we strive for reform we find that it is not at all merely the case of a long tup-hill pull. On the contrary there is ajjmost as much of breeching work as Of oollar work to depend only on the traces means that there will soon be a runaway and an upset." The hotheaded magazine exposers are vigorously whipping the team and yelling at the top of their voices as thot the road was all up hill. The presi dent calls their attention to the fact that there are declivities in the journey When the team may find the wagon on its heels and be scared into a runaway and a serious spilling of the load result. Those who expect to find that the president had taken a reef in his anx iety for reform will find no comfort this speech. It means, as Mr. Jerome finely phrased it in an address which has been considerably misunderstood, "not halt, but steady." The senate can get a move upon it when it likes. It passed 300 pension billf yesterday. ^Charley Towne on Prosperity. Charley Towne made a speech at a Jefferson day banquet in Kansas City last night, in which he took occasion to eulogize Bryan and attack Presi dent Boosevelt. Neither of these per formances at a democratic banquet are calculated to create surprise, nor, per iH^ps, will Mr. Towne's statement of he reason why the financial theories hich he advocated so vigorously in and 1900 have been proven to be ^lse and mischievous. He recognizes ,ow the fact that he was wrong then, ut says the predicted panic that was Jo fellow the adoption of the gold itandard did not materialize, not because aie opened the factories rather than Eome he^mints, but because the country has to produce enough gold to supply jihe money market without material Increase in the use of silver. So he devoutly ascribes the era of prosperity Q"Providence, not to a policy. He says, 'When man refused to open the mints, Sod opened the mines." We do not know what authority Mr. SPowne has for his announcement of the jpeaSou why God opened the mines or" missionary *-r-+-*p. Saturday' Evening, Display Advertisements From Local Advertisers. More than any other Minneapolis Sunday Newspaper Carried 71,862 whether there was any connection whatever between the refusal to open the mint and the opening of the mines, but suppose man had opened the mints and Providence, knowing the wisdom of basing currency upon gold, had gone ahead and opened the mines regardless of the fact that the mints had already been opened. If Mr. Towne's theories of finance are sound, the opening of the mints ought not to have made any spe cial difference except perhaps to in crease the prosperity which Mr. Towne's financial theories promised if the mints were opened. Mr. Towne, of course, is quite excus able in his desire to account for disa greeable things and square his unful filled predictions with the facts, but he must concede to those who never took his predictions seriously a brief inter val of quiet amusement. Everything for which Mr. Towne has become fa mous in public lifeparticularly the paramount issue of free silver and anti imperialismhave been so completely discarded that, much as we may ap prove Mr. Towne personally, it will be quite necessary for him to be iden tified with some issue that will live long enough to get itself adopted by the American people before he can be taken seriously in politics. And Gladstone's sleeve still bulges with that other card. We trust Gladdie has not been cold-decking the old man. The Anti-Dirt Campaign. If there is any truth in the adage that every human being who comes to adult age eats a peck of dirt before he dies, let us assume that the people of Minneapolis have had theirs and abolish dirt for this year, just as an experiment. If it works well there will be those who will see that cleanli ness is continued. The Journal reprinted from the Chicago Tribune yesterday some sig nificant statements about the cost of dirt. It is a charge upon the manu facturer, the jobber, the retailer, but the sellers have all a means of getting away from the burden of the expense of dirt. They put it on the consumer. So it comes back to the people them selves, the buyers of the city, to lead in the campaign against dirt. As tho chief buyers of most commodities, it is but right that the women, even if they were not moved by other causes, should take the lead. They have made a beginning. They have secured the co-operation of the city council. They need, however, the co-operation of all citizens, both great and small. Freedom from dirt is like any other brand of liberty. Its price is eternal vigilance and everlasting industry. Will not all the citizens of Minneapolis join in the campaign? If Mr. Bliss never really received that $75,000 from the New York Life, why do the trustees hurry to put it back? Foreign Missions. The recent missionary rally in this city at which the American board se cured $3,000 in ten minutes, was one of fifty such meetings held in fifty Ameri can cities. The Minneapolis meeting was one of the last and in proportion to the number of persons present produced the largest returns in financial assist ance to the board. The meetings were instituted as a memorial to the "haystack" meeting held a hundred years ago by five stu dents of Williams college, at which the American board was practically es tablished. Tt was a memorial therefore to the missionary spirit of these young men as well as to the missionary move ment which has always been strong in America. At these meetings it has been demon strated that the people will give to mis sions when they understand what the missionary movement means. Hereto fore it has been largely left to the wo men of the churches to nourish the mis sionary spirit while the men have lofti ly considered the making of "aprons for the heathen" an exercise beneath their notice. But such addresses as were delivered in this city by Bev. Arthur H. Smith and others opened the eyes of the men to the fact that the missionary movement is the greatest and most dignified civilizing undertak ing the world has ever seen. It involves not merely the presenta tion of the gospel to the heathen. This is not even the first consideration with the missionary. It means the establish ment of communication with the people of foreign lands thru learning their lan guage, observing their customs and studying their history. It means re vealing to the western nations the laws and the traditions of the east. The thus becomes the pioneer means of communication and the trad ing nations have found that he has jfen erally laid the foundation for friend ship and mutual benefit. Of course the fact that the missionary has been doing all this only incidentally to making his message intelligible to his audience, does not militate against Jhe mundane value of his activities. a In the past the missionaries have been accused of stirring up strife by insistently putting before the orientals something they had not asked for, did not want and would not have. This ob jection to missionary work applies, how ever, to a time when missionaries went out clothed with an intense zeal and no information. It is applicable no longer, when candidates are given preliminary training in the manners of the people they are to approach, and when the theory 61 the mission that it is first to become a part of the community in which it is set up prevails. The mission ary nowadays carries not merely the promise of everlasting life. He carries as well help to alleviate the pains and tionized the barbarous medical codes of the orient, has softened the penal laws in many lands, has in a measure broken down the' distinctions between the sexes and has done much to ameliorate the distressing marriage customs of the far east. And the missionary has not had all the, teaching to do. He has learned many things which have reacted upon the west and made Christianity more of a reality in any country where it was rapidly running into a "system." The missionary effort of the country has been well managed financially. There have been no scandals, no loot^ ings of the funds and little waste com pared with the sums expended. Noth ing that America has done has, we may safely assert, been of more real bene fit to humanity than the work and the zeal put into missions.

The love plot of "Twelfth Night" might be todonsthe The conviction and sentence of Greene and Gaynor to four years im prisonment and the payment of a fine of half a million dollars each is a tribute to the fighting qualities of the government lawyers. These malefac tors stole immense sums from the treas ury of the United States by fraudulent work on federal contracts. It was tax money and it is usually easy for clever and determined criminals to get away with this kind of loot because there is nobody to make a determined fight to get it back or punish the crime. Gay nor and Greene got away with the money and got away from the country, but Nemesis in their case followed them. Thru seven years of wearisome litiga tion in the courts of Canada, obstructed by all the power and finesse of well paid lawyers hired especially to keep Gaynor and Greene on Canadian soil, the government persisted and finally less than a year ago succeeded in get ting the men ^turned. It was more than eight years after their crimes had been'committed that they were brought to trial in Savannah, Ga. But the representative of the government had kept all the facts fresh in his anind and had the documentary evidence massed so that there was no escape. Their conviction and sentence came at the end of a two months' trial, in which the defendants used all the legal ma chinery which powerful friends and' still more powerful cash could set in motion. But in vain. This conviction does something to counteract the growing belief which was 5 voiced recently in this city by Judge Amidon that the conviction of a criminal well fortified with money is impossible. It tends to re-establish con fidence and respect for the law. This is going to be a great year in Michigan politics.

In "Twelfth ^Tight", Shakspere for once restrained that exuberance of fun which, usually ran away with him in comedy. "Twelfth Night" is possible.

The only jarring note in "Twelfth Night is the Malvolio incident, which frcm modern standards pf criticism ap pears to be carried too far, and when this character is put in the hands of such a virile actor as Mr. Sothern his very capacities appear to heighten the unpleasant effect. The prison scene as handled by Mr. Sothern becamre-estaba just actor's ^purpos to littlye painful, but perhaps it was neces- tn a ar lish Malvolio in his selfresnect. The disdain with which he laid down his commission as steward was certainly finely done. It resulted in the jury carrying away the impression that Mal volio had suffered jnore than his share and gave a sympathetic note to the duke's exclamation, "Pursue him and entreat him to a WA entreat him to a peae'e. We can easily picture Malvolio rein stated as steward to the countess a wiser and a better servant, his sense of fun sharpened and his Self-conceit held leash by remembrance of a bitter experience. The play is lavishly mounted. Pic tures of extravagant completeness have been painted to set off scenes of a dozen short speeches and no ransack ing of museums and galleries appears to have been spared to have the mount ing and costuming correct to the last degree. The contrast between the sumptuous mounting here and the bare outline of a stage as shown by Ben Greet in the same play not long since, affords a fruitful field for thought as to the proper interpretation of Shakspere. The language of Shakspere calls for pictures, not boardB and signs, and un questionably Shakspere would have had them in his own day^had they been at tainable. At any rate, the pictures in last night's production were neveT ob trusive .and always in keeping with the mellow sense of wholesome -joy in duced by the play itself.

The stiited tone which most actresses assume in the presence of speech by Shakspere has never seized her in its destroying grasp. The character of Viola makes very few demands upon the strength of an actress, and Miss Marlowe is con tent to leave it where Shakspere in tended it should end, a breath of fra grance, a rose glow of young, beauti ful life. Bowland Buckstone's Sir Toby is a very rollicking characterization of that abandoned knight whose sense of re sponsibility was that of a Huckleberry Finn. Sir Toby i needed to help one to many a good laugh. It is Mr. Buckstone's art to pick out the time and manner with unerring precision. An excellent foil'to Mr. Buckstone's more robust fooling is the pale, peaked wit of Sir Andrew. Mr. Bradley played this character well. Miss Mc Laughlin's Maria was strictly enjoy able, except when she took the liberty to swallow* as sh4 occasionally did, the half of a sentence.

SCIENTIST'S DEFINITION OF RELIGION.Henry 8. Pritchett, of the Boston In stitute of Technology, has put into a small volume, bearing the title What Is Religion?, a series of addresses deliv ered to students. These addresses show President Pritchett to be a believer in an infinite and eternal energy which stands behind all nature, all life and all visible forms of energy, acting in ac cordance with immutable law. To him,, then, "religion presents itself as noth ing other than the divine life in the human soul, a life that manifests itself as al life manifests itself, by the which it brings forth, the divine owers of the human heart, unselfish ness, love, fearlessness, serenity, pa tience, service." He holds further that "the man who finds that his rea son leads him to accept the scientific view of God does not truly accept a HENRY S.

The lectures, however, are not issued in a contro versial spirit they are issued rather with a view to guiding young men to the exercise of moral purpose and straight thinking. If the religious pref erences of the lecturer do not square with those of the reader, his sincerity of purpose can hardly be questioned, and the spirit in which he discusses the questions he takes up must commend itself to the reader.

Minnesota Politics Lund's Withdrawal Puts Hennepin Sit- uation Back Where It Was Before Block Organization Met by Move- ment for Delegation Uninstructed and Unpledged Hennepin Men Being Urged to Bring Out Van Sant. As John 6. Lund's announcement put an entirely new face on the governor ship situation, so his withdrawal re solves it back into its original ele ments. In Hennepin county it is Block against the field, and outside the cities it is the field against Jacobson. Lund's short and spectacular progress across the stage furnishes the sole topic of conversation. Politicians have all sorts of theories, and are inclined to scent some kind of a deal with other candidates. That supposition is nat ural, but incorrect. One story is cur rent to the effect that a prominent re publican from outside the twin cities came in Wednesday to see Lund with the express object of pulling him out of the race. That is a mistake. The man in question was not in the city Wednesday, and has not talked with, Mr. Lund at all. The reasons for the withdrawal are entirely business and personal. If \t helps any one of the candidates, it helps Block, and Lund is not willingly doing anything to as sist Block to the nomination. The Block leaders in Hennepin are jubilant. The Lund movement was threatening, and now that it has dis appeared, their plans for a Block dele gation will have easier sailing. They will have strong opposition in tho county, however. It has not centered on any other candidate as yet, and may not at any time, but will fight for a free delegation. The Block men are not asking for an instructed delegation, but are working for a delegation or Block men, which would amount to the same thing if a unit rule were adopted. The opposition attitude was expressed by one of the leaders as fol lows: "If Hennepin has no candidate- of her own for governor, then our dele gation wants to go into that conven tion without its hands tied, in a posi tion to exert some influence for once. We want a delegation uninstructed and also unpledged. We don't want an un instructed delegation of Block men, or Lord men, or Cole men, or Jacobson men, but a delegation of good repub licans who are ready to act for the best interests of the party and of Hen nepin, county.

OHABMING STOEY OF ENGLISH COUNTRY LIFE.One rainy Sunday recently, a Sunday which had been ap proached by way of a trying week, we took up Hazel of Heatherland. It must have been the "Heatherland" of the title that attracted. Names are so often misfits that'' Hazel'' might have meant any kind of a girl, but in all our read ing we have failed to find the heather land uninteresting, and it seemed to offer the magic that would take us away from the lowering skies and the beating rain without. We were not mis taken. "Hazel of Heatherland" is as (harming a Btory as we have come upon in many a day and in much reading. Not only is the heatherland there with all the charm that William Black, per haps better than any other, has given it, but Hazel is iust such a girl as be longs in such a landwilful and witty and winsome. There are no problems to vex the mind in the story. It is just a story of the life of the English middle class amid the quiet and peace of the Eng lish countryside. It is told with a naturalness that suggests Jane Austen it has a satire like that of Miss Aus ten's, and a more sprightly wit and humor. Hazel is a girl of 21, living with a mother who is under the domination of Angela, an Jder sister of Hazel's and something of an ogre. The free spirit of Hazel meets rebuff at almost every turn, except in the presence of Eobert Inderwick, who had been a playmate in her childhood, had gone away, and now has come back after many wanderings. The end may be foreseen, but not the delightful paths by which it is reached. The author is Mabel Barnes-Grundy, for whose future work we shall be on an eager lookout.

An article to set men thinking and to make them more charitable, perhaps, Is to be found In the International Journal of Ethics. It is by Josiah Rqjrce. of Har rard who. asays: "Our Q,al}eJl lace problems are merely the problems caused by the antipathies."

Then if we can land Dwinnell for lieutenant governor, or one of the candidates for secretary of state, all very well. But the delegatiM! can do more effective work in the cwnvention if it goes free to act as the situation demands.'' The latest subject of a governorship boom is no other than Samuel R. Van Sant, now a resident of Minneapolis. The former governor was in earnest jibout retiring to his business, and tho he takes a keen interest in politics and will not be silent, he has had no idea of being a candidate. The suggestion has been brought into Minneapolis by some of Van Sant's admirers from out side, who urge that his vote-getting qualities are needed this year more than ever. There is no question that Van Sant would be a formidable candidate if he entered, but there is very little chance that he will come in. The most bitter of the Dunn men would fight him from the start, and harmony would be a forgotten word before the convention met. Judge Robert Jamison is another sug gestion made to Hennepin men by out side republicans, a suggestion which would be turned down hardest of all by Judge Jamison himself who has for sworn active participation in politics to look after his business. Apropos of the sixth district situa tion, the Delarfo Eagle says "it takes Cheney to smell trouble where none exists." Anybody living in the sixth district who fails to detect the odor must have his olfactories paralyzed. Shifting the metaphor a little, there are none so blind as those who won't see. The Alexandria Post-News comments on James A. Martin's position as fol lows: Disloyalty to friends is not one of James A. Martin's weakness**. Had he been leu loyal he must have surrendered long ago to the impor tunities of bl friends and admirers throont the district. We personally know that this pressure has had considerable force to It. that it has be come almost a demand from many republicans In this district, and yet he remains steadfast In his purpose to not enter the race, for all of which his friends admire him the more. If matters would so shape themselves as to per mit of Jlr. Martin's candidacy there is no donbt of the warmth of the reception which would be tendered him. Charles B.
