State Railroad Laws.
The La Toilette campaign has re
sulted in the adoption of a strong rail
road commission law for Wisconsin,
which is being generally commented
upon as a sample of advanced legisla
tion. I is particularly interesting be
cause it embodies the ideas of Wis
consin's senator-elect, who is expected
to be a strong upholder of the Roose
velt policy in the upper house.
The Wisconsin law is better than Min
nesota's in one important particular.
The commission there is appointed by
the governor and not elected by the
people. The general verdict in Minne
sota is that the elective commission
is not a success. Its members are nom
inated at the end of state convention
sessions, in a hurry and as a result of
trades, and th ey are elected as va mat
ter of course. When the governor as
made responsible for the commission
he was apt to pick out high-grade men,
and see to it that they attended to
their duties. His administration was
apt to stand or fall on the record of
the commission.
I other respects Wisconsin's law
does not go as far as the legislation
secured last winter for Minnesota. The
Wisconsin commission will have the
power to fix rates, either upon- complaint
or upon its own motion. That power
has been in the hands of the Minnesota
commission for over a decade. The legis
lature last winter went still farther, and
provided that in Minnesota "railroads
must not alter rates or classifications,
either up or down, without the consent
of the commission. This adds vastly to
the state's power, for it makes every
rate change an act of the commission,
and gives it a check upon every inter
state tariff.
This power needs to be exercised with
great discretion. It is said that Gov
ernor a Follette thought strongly of
adding such a feature to the Wisconsin
law, but concluded that he had taken
a long enough step for one session. In
this forbearance he as undoubtedly
wise, for a new commission, with every
thing to learn about its duties and
about the problem of rate making,
would be swamped by the work the
Minnesota law imptoses. It could not
possibly give proper attention and study
to each individual case, and its hear
ings and decisions would be farcical.
Minnesota has a veteran commission,
and no better plaice could be found to
fjive the system a trial. Chairman
Stills has served almost continuously
for twelve years, and C. F. Staples more
than four years, W. E. You ng being the
on ly inexperienced man of the three.
The ratemaking power within the
state of Minnesota lhas been placed in
the hands of these three men, subject
only to review by the courts, and the
result of their labors will be watched
with interest. If they are successful,
Wisconsin will, no'doubt, profit by their
example.
Abnormal conditions In the baseball
world are gradually adjusting themselves.
A newsboy informs us that Washington Is

The American in Canada.
A letter from an American at Moose
Jaw, Assiniboia, indicates that the
Americanization of Canada, which we
have heard so much about and which is
going on steadily, is not being accom
plished without considerable resistance
on the part of the Canadians. The Ca
nadians are anxious to get American
settlers, to sell their lands to them and
to have them develop the country. But
the American seems to cling rather te
naciously to his preference for the stars
and stripes and what th ey stand for,
and to assimilate slowly. Furthermore,
he" is so numerous in western Canada
now that he is pretty nearly able 0
control the political situation. does
it absolutely in some localities. This
leads to some friction.
But the most peculiar thing about
this relation of the American to his
new political condition is-the attitude
11 of the Englishman. The Canadian and
Ip the Englishman do not take to each
Wtb other. The Englishman comes very
W$, much unprepared for the conditions
faff* which he must meet and receives very
Jfef little sympathy and assistance from the
$" Canadian. I nine cases out of ten
the Englishman turns to the American
111 for aid and advice in adjusting himself
to conditions which are entirely new.
And tips does not contribute to the
aprdiality of the Canadian toward the
American.
Of course* all these things will ad
just themselves in time, and the Cana
dian is probably unnecessarily nervous
about the possible political effect of
the filling up of Ms country with Amer
cans. The time may come when Cana
da will become part of the "United
States, but %t will be when these Amer
ican settlers have become accustomed
to Canadian institutionshave learned
that, after all the 'Canadian govern
ment is a very good one and that the
reasons for union of the two countries
are commercial and social rather than
political. It is extremely probable that
the commercial and social interests of
both will some day wipe out the imagi
nary line which divides them, but the
result will not be brought about by dis
satisfaction on the part of the Ameri
can-Canadians with the government un
der which they live.

Indiana as an Inspiration.
From Indiana, the home and*haunt of
authors, comes a complaint that the
women of the state know more about
the history and times of Alexander and
Napoleon, of Athens and Sparta than
th ey do about the men and events of
their own state because they devote
more study to the musty records of the
past than to the live doings of .Indiana.
W can hardly believe this, because,
aside from the habit of introspection
that would lead a ny hoosier, male or
female, to study Indiana first, the fact
is, as everybody knows, that the history
of Indiana is much more important than
the history of either Greece or Rome.
The area of Indiana is greater than
that of Greece and tho amount of land
fit for cultivation about twice. The
number of men capable of bearing arms
is greater than that of Sparta and in
Indiana every soldier is not merely a
brick, he is a Stonewall Jackson. Rome
at the same age was not in it with In
diana. She had scarcely any railroads
and only one miserable wooden bridge
across the Tiber. Give Indiana the
centuries of Rome and you will see a
growth that will astonish all living. The
state will be netted with pipe and laid
with historical novels. Potatoes will
grow in every fence corner and poems
sprout from every vine.
Turn from nature to man. There once
arose a pertinent inquiry as to whether
Rome had only one man. There has
never been any question about "The
Gentleman from Indiana," while In
diana has ordinarily from seven to
twenty candidates for each local office
and at least two favorite sons for presi
dent. A present the number is un
known because the census has not been
completed.
If, historically, Indiana knocks the
spots off Rome, what shall we say of her
as a literary center? Rome had one
or two poets whose stuff is as hard to
read as Browning. W wouldn't trade
"Down to Old Aunt Mary's" for the
whole bunch.
Did the natural scenery of Rome ha ve
any edge on that of Indiana? Is the
Tiber a better river than the Wabash?
Were Rome's senators any better than
Indiana's? Is Beveridge less voluble
than or any easier to understand than
Cicero? Are the a Appe^ines any taller
than Fairbanks, or any pooler at tjfcTe
top? Is, George Ade's English any
snider than1
that of Aesop? Why should
the womtn of Indiana turn from the
home ground for literary feeding?
There is no reason and th ey will not
do it. They will stick for inspiration
to Hoosierdom, to the story of a state
made great not more by the fertility of
its soil and its underlying gas, but by
the accuracy of its poets and the inimi
table dialect of its historians.
It seems that the Russian fleet met its
fate between the Oki and the Iki islands
and it will never go there any more.
Why They Cannot Serve.
A prominentcitizen of Philadelphia,
John C. Winston, who is at the head of
a committee whose avowed purpose is
to examine into the acts of certain pub
lic officials in connection with the gas
steal, and bring them to book, confesses
that he is unable to secure the services
of a leading attorney in Philadelphia,
and must go to New York to obtain
counsel. Here are the names of some of
the lawyers approached and the ex
cuses they gave:
Samuel DicksonI regret very much
that the clients of this firm include in
terests which preclude the possibility
of us participating in a ny attack upon
the United Gas Improvement company
and its affiliated interests.
George Tucker BisphamUnable to
serve because the trust interests he rep
resents compel him to remain inactive
in the work.
Frank P. PrichardUnable to serve
because his partner, Johon' G-. Johnson,
is special counsel to the United Gas
Improvement company.
Asa Wing'As vice president of the
Provident Life Insurance and Trust
company, unable to serve because
Samuel B. Shipley, president of the
Provident company, is a director in the
United Gas Improvement company.
Effingham B. MorrisUnable to as
sist the movement because of the
commercial connections of the Girard
Trust company, of which he is president.
James Mapes DodgeUnable to as
sist because the Unit ed Gas Improve
ment company is the best customer of
the Lfovk Belt jcompany, of which he is
president.
This merely confirms what is general
ly known, that the ramifications of pub
lic-service corporations in all cities are
extensive, especially among those mem
bers of the bar whose talents would be
needed in the case of a house cleaning.
Of course, the committee will be able
to obtain a competent attorhtey and its
work will go on, but the showing that
has been made of the influence of the
U. G. I. in Philadelphia is discouraging.
How are the people to know when th ey
elect a judge or a prosecuting attorney
that they are not electing a representa
tive of this same powerful interest? An'
attorney never refuses a judgeship be
cause of a previous retainer from a gas
company. is content to let the peo
ple find it out for themselves if th ey
can. *f

A Chinese gentleman, Kang Tu Wei by
name, who Is traveling In this country,
makes the Assertion that If the empress
dowager had not taken a bribe from Rus

would not have declared war on the gov

Togo Visits Rbjestvensky.
'.The Japanese continue to show that
they are as well up in the etiquette of

congratulated Bojestvensky on his
bravery and it was no idle compliment
for, defeated and his fleet completely
destroyed, Rojestvensky stills looms up
as one of the greatest naval command
ers of modern times. N matter what
of controversy there may hang over the
surrender of Nebogatoff there can be
none that Rojestvensky has deserved
well of his country. did all he
promised. took a fleet three-quar
ters around the world, he met the Jap

made good his pledge to the czar that
if defeated it would be so completely
that the Japanese would make the re
port.
was whipped, but that does not
concern Rojestvensky's courage or his
capacity. It concerns gravely the gov
ernment which sent him out with a fleet
in bad order, with crews of untrained
men and subordinates who did not
know the first principles of naval war
fare.
A to Roiestvensky's feat of round
i ng the globe with a fleet of ironclads
there are no two opinions among ex
pertsit as the greatest of modern
naval seamanship. Captain Clarke's
bringing 0 the Oregon from San Fran
cisco to Santiago, a distance of 14,000
miles, is eclipsed, for Captain Clarke
navigated a single, clean ship and had
opportunities for coaling en route, while
Rojestvensky maneuvered half a hun
dred ships of various speeds and as
constantly harassed by questions of
neutrality and dangers of international
complications. Yet he brought this
miscellaneous fleet to its destination
and sent it into battle in as good, if not
better order, than it as when he left
the Baltic.
All honor to Rojestvensky the "brave.
The wreath of victory in battle went
to Togo, but the laurel of triumph
over invincible difficulties remains with
Rojestvensky. Togo does well to extol
his courage and his capacity. May this
.interchange of courtesies between fight
ing men be a harbinger of a better un
derstanding between the peoples of Rus
sia and Japan when Russia shall have
swept away the abominably corrupt and
incompetent bureaucracy which defeats
her best plans in peace and war.
The Forepaugh-Sells circus does not
visit St. Paul this year, and it is a census
year, too. Isn't this adding injury to in

An Alternative.
In an address before the reform club
of New York, Judge D. Cady Herriek,
who was the democratic candidate^for
governor last fall, made a speech on
municipal ownership, in which he said:
municipal ownership, either the
trades unions will be crushed out of, ex
istencefor it is hard to contemplate
a stable, strong government allowing
its employees to dictate to it, or even
to discuss questions with itor the
trades unions will dominate he govern
ment. Which would be worse? I do
not know.
If municipal ownership ever proceed
ed far enough to become a national
policy, it would quickly eventuate in
state socialism, and then, of course,
trades unions would be, not crushed
out of existence, but merged in the
general scheme of government. They
would disappear because there would
be no further use for them. Every
body would belong to the union, which
would be the state. A to dictating to
the government, it would certainly be
done when every\ man was a part of
the government, and th ey stood in the
relation of employer and employee, with
the employee owning stock and the em
ployer having no chanfee to hire any
one else if he got into a dispute with
his workmen.
The question of water purification will
not down, however much the results of
filtration may be disputed and however
much conservatism business men counsel
a waiting policy. In the last McClure's
Samuel Hopkins Adams claims the most
clean demonstration of the efficiency of
nitration In Philadelphia, where part of
the supply is purified and part is not.
Last year a population of 46,000 in West
Philadelphia, where the water was filt
ered, was for thirteen weeks without a
case of typhoid. Last October 325 cases
were reported in the city, not one of which
came from the section using filtered
water.
Hoke Smith, former editor of the At
lanta Journal,* Clark Howell, editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, and Colonel J. H.
Estill, editor of the Savannah Morning
News, are the democratic candidates for
governor of Georgia. W look confident

esteemed contemporaries during the
heated term.
Senator Clark of Montana, it is now
said, will not be a candidate for re-elec
tion but will give up his seat two years
hence. He considers* it the most unsat

HENRY C. ROWLAND,
Author of "The Wanderers."
a
TALE OF ADVENTURE ON THE SEA.
Henry C. Rowland, author of "To Wind-
ward," has in Thje Wanderers told a tale
like unto his first. Arthur Brown, a
famous artist, with a love of life on the
ocean and of adventure, is summoned to
the aid of Brian Klnard, whose father
has just died, leaving his fortune sup
posedly to a half-brother of Brian's.
Brian at the time is off on a cruise a
yacht his father told him should be his.
He has received an order from the half
brother to return the yacht. But Brian is
not so inclined. He argues that the yacht
is his, and his call for aid is simply to
secure the approval of a friend as to his
course. The two decide to keep the yacht,
but think it wise to get around to the
other side of the world. Immediately ad
ventures are theirsfrom duels to love
affairs and mutinies. The end, however,
is "happy," and leaves the reader well
contented with his new acquaintances of
the book.
Mr. Rqwland tells his story trippingly,
almost straining things now and then to
keep up the pace. But who wants to
read a book of adventure in which the
author stops to philosophize or interjects
psychological discussions? Not The Un
easy Chair for one. Dead calms on voy
ages of'adventure won't do. and there
are none in Mr. Rowland's book.

THE MAGAZINES
Philadelphiaa Big Village.There Is
only one modern flat house in Philadel
phia, perhaps half a dozen modern hotels,
and no tenements such as other cities
have by the acre, says Joseph M. Rogers
in the Review of Reviews for June, a
magazine of timely reading. There is no
large proletariat in the city, and such as
exists is due to the influx of derelicts
from abroad. As a rule, the Philadel
phian is well employed the year round.
There are about 300,000 residences in the
citymore than in Greater New York and
London combinedand/most of them are
owned by the*, people Trtio live in them..
Almost 200,000 of *thert are two-story
houses with- six or sev 0 rooms and a
June
bath, generally a sizable back yard, and
the newer portions a little front yard and
a porch. Mechanics buy these houses
thru the building associations "and -mort
gages from the trust companies. Such
houses cost from $2,000 to $4,000 apiece
the latter would seem -like mansions to
many New Yorkers. They rent at from
$12 to $25 a month, with an average of
about $16. Those who are aware of what
rents are In other cities can see that in
this respect the Philaldelphian is much
better off than most of his neighbors.
This insularity, due to the original vil
lage system, is enhanced by the home
feeling.
AMUSEMENTS
Wonderland Park. 1
The people are eager to visit Wonder
land if thfe weather will only give them
the Chance. Yesterday the attendance
was 20,000 despite heavy rain both after
noon und evening, and what was worse,
threatening clouds both before and be
tween showers.
Last night the park presented a novel
spectacle. The rain was coming down in
torrents, yet the Journal Cadet band
was playing waltz music serenely, and
people were riding in the carrousel to
hurry-up music and whirling lights. The
big dancing pavilion and the other build
ings were crowded with people who had
run for shelter. Some of them acted as
if they did not want to leave the scenic
railway and chutes even when it was
raining.
The Journal Cadet band gave very en
joyable concerts, and a good prpgram of
fre open air acts was presented, which
included the three Nudas, a man, woman
and a little girl in a graceful gymnastic
novelty, called the "frame of life," How
ard, the impaler, who uses a woman as
his target when throwing knives and bat
tle axes, and leaping the gap by Michaels
on a bicycle were other features. The
scenic railway carried 7,000 passengers
and the other devices proportionately
large numbers. The big carrousel is
proving a strong rival to the scenic rail
way and was constantly surrounded by a
big crowd. The fairy theater is another
attraction that is very popular. The nov
elty and beauty of the pantomime pre
sented induces many to visit the theater
time and- again.
The Unique.
The Unique .theater has a very strong
bill this week. The imperials of min
strelsy, Sylvester, Jones and Pringle, are
re-engaged for another week. Harry
Temple and company in a playlet are
high-class actors. Zara and Zara appear
in a spectacular transformation sketch.
In which they change costumes twenty
five times. Frank Emerson, a monologlst
and bone soloist, has a specialty that is a
novelty, and Irene Little sings "A Pretty
Bunch of Doll Rags," a song of child life,
illustrated by stereopticon pictures, for
which Minneapolis children have posed.
The music of the song was composed by
James J. Latourelle, and the words were
written by Paul Gyllstrom, a local news
paper writer.
A New Child Song.
Professosr James Latourelle, orchestra
leader at the Unique theater,* has written
the music, and Paul Gyllstrom, a local
newspaper writer, the words for a song
for which widespread popularity Is pre
dicted.
Its verses tell a pretty story of child
life, and two Minneapolis children have
posed for the stereopticon pictures with
which it is to be illustrated.
The title of the song is "A Pretty Bunch
of Doll Rags." It was sung yesterday at
the services of the People's church by
Irene Little, and will be heard at the
regular performances at the Unique this
week. The song has been published and
is to be put on sale.

at the Metropolitan for four nights begin
ning next Sunday evening.
"Nettie the Newsgirl," a hustling, bust-*
ling melodrama, will be the attraction at
the Bijou next week, which jrill mark the
close of the season at this playhouse. The
play is by Lem B. Parker, author of
"Dora Thome," "Utah" and many other
melodramas.
SIMMONS MEMORIAL
Men Who Knew Him Praise Life and
Works of Deceased Pastor.
Unfon memorial services, in which
Unity ^church of St. Paul with its pastor,
Rev. Richard W. Boynton, joined, were
held yesterday for the late Rev. H. M.
Simmons, pastor of the First Unitarian
church of Minneapolis.
The three leading addresses were made
by Rev. Dr. Jenkin Loyd Jones of Chica
go, Rev. "W. C. Gannett of Rochester, N.
Y., and Dr. J. K. Hosmer of Minneapolis.
Full reports will be printed In the mem
orial number of the Unity, published at
Chicago.
Rev. Dr. Jones recited incidents of the
intimate acquaintanceship he had main
tained with Dr. Simmons. Dr. Hosmeh
told of the deceased pastor's later life
and work, and of his patience, scholar
ship and lovable character. Rev. Mr.
Gannett, formerly of St. Paul, said that
had Dr. Simmons occupied a New England
pulpit he would have been more widely
known all over the nation.
A special quartet, Miss Anna Brown and
Mabel Uones, E. P. Browning and F. H.
Forbes, sang.
LET MAYOR RUN CITY
Advice Given to Central Baptists by Rev.
Theodore Heysham.
A little less advice from the over
zealous to the mayor was the counsel of
Rev. Dr. Theodore Heysham in a sermon
at the Central Baptist church last even
ing. The subject of the sermon was

The subject teaches us the unlim

WH^N A MAN MARKIES
Dr. Irvine's "Get-Away'* Did Not End
His Troubles.
"Grief always comes in chunks," at
least this is what Deputy Coroner Ir
vine thinks. The doctor was married
last Wednesday evening, and, after run
ning the gauntlet thru a drove of ad
miring and loving friends who insisted
in doing all they could to make him
miserable, he succeeded in getting
started on the little trip which he and
his bride had planned.
More was yet to come. The trans
portation harbored a mistake some
where in its bewildering length, and
he was advised by the conductor that
he had better stop over in St. Paul
and have it corrected. He, therefore,
repaired to the Byan for the night,
little dreaming that more trouble was
awaiting him.
Bride and groom had no sooner set
tled in their apartments than a col
lector, with malice aforethought, en
tered the house and inquired from the
clerk of a runaway couple who were
planning to leave town without settling
certain Dills. The clerk could think or
no guilty-looking ones except the Ir
vines, and so reported. The result was
that the doctor was compelled to spend
half an hour in the hall explaining to
the collector that he was barking up
the -wrong tree, .".'vifv
POBJtTRATT OF COL. WOOD
New Life-size Likeness Hung In the West
Hotel.
A portrait of Colonel Charles H. Wood
done in oil is a striking new feature of the
West hotel. It Is a full-length portrait
and is a wonderfully effective bit of work,
the pose being natural and the likeness
perfect. The pose vwas composed from
memory by the artist and the face paint
ed from a photograph. 1 This was hardly
more than a guide to the features, as
the expression has been entirely changed.
The artist is Carl L. Bockman.-who has
executed portraits of many of the leading
men* of the northwest. Mrs. Wood and
Miss Wood, as well as the colonel's
friends, have declared their entire satis
faction with the portrait,

Swan
4 M. Lindahl, the policeman who
as accused of robbing the till at the
South Side library and then firing the
building to cover up his crime. Mrs.
Lindahl has identified the clothing of
the dead man as that worn by her hus
band on the day he disappeared. She
has also identified the knife found in
the dead man's pocket.
When the body as found it was so
badly decomposed that immediate
burial was ordered. Mrs. Lindahl has
not seen the body, but it will probably
be exhumed that she may be more posi

Lindahl was indicted by the grand
jury on a charge of burglary, and as
released on $1,500 bail. Later he dis
appeared and wrote to his wife, saying
he intended to drown himself.
SOUNDS THE KNELL
OF WATER-WAGONS
Will oil that quiets the waves lay the
dust?
This is what the city fathers are try
ing to find out and if a test now being
made at Fourth* street and Tenth ave
nue S E is successful the driver of tha
street sprinkler may descend from his
lofty perch and bow to his successor, the
driver of the oil cart.
The backer of the product is in Min
neapolis giving practical exhibitions of
its dust-defying qualities. Yesterday
several aldermen and City Engineer
Rinker proceeded to Southeast Minne
apolis, where with the aid of a flower
sprinkler and a small oy a goodly area
was thoroly oiled. It will be inspected
later by the officials, as it is claimed
that one application will lay the dust
for ten consecutive days.
The exact nature of the substance was
not divulged, altho its principal ingre
dient is plainly oil. It is cheap and.
many of the spectators at the exhibition,
yesterday believe that the sprinkling
cart is doomed.
