Not an Accident.
That there are few accidents in
money-making was again valuably illus
trated in- the incident of the express
elerk who bid for $5,000,000 of Panama
bonds and got them and has now sold
Ms option for something more than
$6,000. I the first place it was not
an actjident that Secretary Shaw asked
for no cash deposit with bids. This
condition was purposely left out by the
secretary, who did not wish to disturb
the money market by tying up large
amounts unnecessarily while the bid
ding was in process.
Secondly, it was not an accident -that
-Samuel Byerley made a winning id
**on a large block of the bonds. I was
the resalt of calculation and study.
bid on four lots and that he studied the
question carefully is shown by the fact
that on one lot he bid more than he
could realize on a resale, while on three
lots there was a slight margin of safety.
INTot every express clerk with a 2-cent
stamp- could have done wh at Byerley
did. It was not the postage stamp
and the ambition which brought him
success, but his preliminary survey of
the fiqld and his intelligent study of
the history of other 2 per cent bond
issues.
The story is a romantic one and it.
sounds well to put-it as the experience
of a man who put a 2-cent letter in
the mails and, presto, drew out a small
fortune. The truth is just as interest
ing and more valuable. I is that the
young express clerk had ideas above
his professional position. used them
and he made money out of them.

from shirt front stoop, due to the great
weight of the diamond.
jr The Power of Injunction.
Under a constitutional government
^ihe remedy for political ills is to be
found in an appeal to the ballot. When
^city councils, legislatures and congress
do not do what the voters wish to have
."vdono and what they think ought to be
done, the remedy is not in the use of
force and violence, but the constitutional
weapon afforded at the polls. I the
legislative bodies are not doing wh at a
2C_maiority f the people want done that
maiority can easily substitute other
legislators pledged to do the will of the
majority.
Labor leaders and agitators have been
f*. referred to the ballot from time to time
and resorts to violenc& condemned =ez.
cause there are better remedies. The
labor organizations have appealed to
congress for certain things, but com
plain that few of them are considered
and still fewer granted. They ha ve
J* made up a statement of their wants
and represent that their appeals ha ve
been in several important particulars
ignored. Th ey propose, therefore, to go
into politics. They are going to elect
organized labor representatives to con
Jg gress wherever they can do so and
where they think they cannot do thai
they will undertake to throw their VOtea
in a body where they seem likely to
do the most good.
This action by the American Federa
tion of Labor is~*egarded as threaten-
|i ing by political leaders and by certain
5f divisions of the press. It is a form of
class action which is deplored and
2 condemned as calculated to stimulate
& class action in turn and in opposition.
It should be borne in mind, however,
that majorities elect, and while an or
ganized concentrated vote like that of
the union labor vote thrown solidly
ope way or another may control re
suits, it is likely to create a new align
*jnent in politics and to the extent that
'"I* labor's demands are unjust and not de
sired by the majority, th ey will coar*
S centrate the opposition and in the fend*
8s
only fair and reasonable objects can be
Unsecured or maintained.
Among the demands of organized
if'Jabor has been the abolition of the
power of injunction by the courts.
2 -Heretofore organized labor has stood
for a complete prohibition of that
power, but Mr. Gompers, in a recent
3| utterance on the subject, said: "What
%yre have to fear is not the court's,,power.
Srto use injunctions, but the pervewion
JhfME'that power," which is a very much
of in- v* modified position. The power
^fraction will not be withdrawn from
#the courts, not because it is so useful
in protecting property tod individual
sfe
*5
rights from the excesses of labor or
ganizations as because it is perhaps
even more serviceable in protecting
the public against the aggressions of
corporate power. The labor trust is not
the only i|us against jwhich this power
protects ^fce Innocent and helpless. Un

Strain on the Treasurer.
The spirit of "Golden Bule" Jones
seems to hover over the city of Toledo,
altho that good-matt
1 has gone to his
reward. Toledo is the place where the
heads of the ice trust were sent to pris
on, and has a mayor who is carrying
out the Jones policy in the main.
Now comes the report that for the
first time in the history of the treasury
depart a post office site has been bought
for less money than was originally ap
propriated. Two hundred thousand
dollars was set apart by congress for
the purchase of a site for a government
baaing in Toledo, ana the owner has
offered to sell it for $64,000 less than
tlfe, limit prescribed by congress. The
Unexpended balance Will be turned into

iae federal treasury if it is thought that
the treasurer of the United States can
stand the shock.

Mr. Bryan and King Edward.
I is considered of significant politi
cal interest In this country that Mr,
Bryan discarded his comfortable slouch
hat and sack coat in London and adopted
a silk tile and flowing frocked garment.
The significance, however, probably at
taches mostly to those Americans who
having never seen a ny country" Trat the
one in which th ey were born, have' nev
er conformed to the usages of other
communities in the matter of dress.
Mr. Bryan understood the value of the
silk hat as a concession to the people
he was trying to interview, .iust as he
felt it his duty to wear the cork hel
met in India. Perhaps, too, he had
'heard that a Turkish gentleman of lin
guistic and otherwise scholarly attain
ments had in vain applied for work
in Minneapolis because he wore a tur*
ban. Many of those to whom' he* mad|
his appeal thought he tookthem fof
museum keepers.
It is reported also that Mr. Bry an
wore smallclothes and a toy sword
when he called upon the king. I was
a mistake about the smallclothes. Mr.
Bryan just rolled up his trousers to the
knee, and as for the Bword he found a
good substitute in a Nebraska corn
knife, which he stuck in his ammunition
belt. The &mg was very much amused
at the invention of Americans and re
marked that he could not see how such
a fertile mind as Mr. Bryan's could
have failed to win the presidency.

Glasgow's Telephone Experiment.
The abandonment of the telephone
service by Glasgow has given rise to
a good many false reporter of the rea
sons for the city's giving up the busi
ness. One newspaper says the experi
ment was a failure from the start and
that the city has gotten out of it with
a loss of $250,000.
The fact is that Glasgow could have
gotten out of the telephone business
whole had it so desired, but it preferred
selling to the government at-a slight
loss rather than to the Nati9na,lltJT.ele-
phone company at a slight advance^on
what the system had cost. The situa
tion is that the telephone in Great
Britain is being nationalized as the tel
egraph has been and that they are both
to be run as an adjunct to the post
effice. The problem before Glasgow was
to continue in the business and connect
its city lines with the government's
long distance lines or to turn the whole
business over to the nation. The city
preferred the latter course, tho it was
offered a handsome price for its plant
by the private monopoly.
!4fr
Inasmuch as Glasgow had gone into
the business to break" the powef~df~n"i
monopoly, it could not consistently sell
to it, The conduct of the telephone
business by the city so far from being
a failure resulted in greatly improved
service and reduced rates.
Had the city of Glasgow turned back
its telephone service to a private Com
pany there might be color to the claim
that public ownership had failed, but
inasmuch as it merely sold its rights to
another publicly owned telephone sys
tem, whose field was larger and whose
chances of success were greater in the
Same, like in which the city was work
ing, there appears to be no basis except
in prejudice for such a claim.
The~4 czar very foolishly neglected to
ask Mr. Bryan how to run his old coun
try. No wonder he is having trouble.
Scripture Inspiration.
Dr. A. B. Frost "at the Northwestern
Bible and Training school jumped hard
on the higher Critics with their inspira
tion and dynamic theories of the origin
of scripture. Dr. Frost rebuked these
persons with Considerable asperity, and
announced that scripture is inspired,
words and all. This is very comforta*
ble and would remove many difficul
ties, if the wording of the Bible was not
still being Sahanged by* men who have
no claim to inspiration at all. The
Catholic church is using one Bible,
the Protestant church another gotten
together by a commission appbinted by'
King James, while an important sec
tion of the American church uses a
version revised and amended by a com
mission of English and American
scholars, many p whom are still living.
They made son$ changes in the phrase
ology of the Sib^e and the question
might arise were they inspired to do itt
I is quite possible that Dr. Frost
takes a too narrow view of the mandate
"Hear the word of the Lord." I may
have referred more to his will or truth

than to his mode of expression. The
theory of verbal inspiration seeks to
simplify the matter of interpretation
of the scriptures, but" when examined
candidly it raises* jroore difficulties than
it allays. It-makes'some people so dis
couraged to be told that the Lord got
angry and cussed as he is represented
xtx {MUrtSi a. the Old Testament that thev
lose faith in the Lord entirely.
Dogmatizing upon the subject hardly
meets the requirement of the age, which
is less open to conviction upon the
verbal theory than ever beforein fact
has been almost completely spoiled for
such faithbut which is a better field
for the assimilation of the fundamental
truths of the Bible than the world ever
before presented.

The ideal convict labor seems to be
that which, no matter how vigorous, pro
longed or well directed, will produce
nothing.Detroit Journal.

Of the funds provided by congress for
the relief of San Francisco $40,000 was
expended for whisky. Fifty barrels were
purchased, shipped across the continent
and are now stored in the basement of

sellers will have to be called on explain
this transaction also.

CIVIC ACTIVITIES
The Crookston Journal is advocating a
municipal electric light and water sys
tem.
^Helena, Mont, will soon hold a special
election to determine whether the bonded
indebtedness shall be Increased for the
4cost of a city water system.
West Seattle, Wash., contends, not
withstanding all other claims, that it has
the first bona fide municipally owned
and operated street railway ,line in the
country. It consists of a mile and a half
of way wjth two cars. Last year the
expenses of- operation were $24 a day and
receipts slightly under $25 a day. Last
month the average dally receipts were
$37. A novel feature of the management
Is that school children are allowed to
ride both ways daily on monthly tickets,
which cost 60 cents.
The New York telephone war between
the New York and Atlantic telephone
companies has brought Out some inter
esting offers on the part of the rivals
for franchises. The old company offers
to pay for the privilege of operating,
$116,000 a year for the first five years,
and to ralBe the amount within twenty
years to $200,000 annually. The Atlantio
agrees to give the city, without oost, a
service for which It now pays $275,000,
and to provide house phones good for 1500
messages a year for $12.
Mayor Adam of Buffalo recently re
quested his .fellow citizens to send in
suggestions for the betterment of the
queen city. Here are a few of the re
plies, says the New York Sun.
"That the city buy and maintain a herd
of 1,000 goats, because there is never
sickness In a family where a goat Is."
"That a law be passed restraining hens
to their owner's premises, because 'hens
use the next door porch for a chicken
run, but never lay eggs there.*"
"That all the city's electric lights be
made 'to wink the hour, so that a man
need not take his wateh out in the win-
ter.'
"That it be a misdemeanor to leave a
gate open, because it's bad luck to* close
a gate after anybody has left tt otfen."
"That every citizen be compelled to
plant a rosebush before bis house, to
make the air sweeter."
"That th$r be no brass street signs
and that mirrors shall not bp Parted thru
the streets, because they reflect the sun
Into weak eyes."
"That there be dally parades in sum
mer to amuse the children."
"That the city supply megaphones to
streetcar conductors, so that deaf pas

NEW CHESTERTON BOOK ABOUT
DICKENS.London, July 80.A new
book by Gilbert K. Chesterton on Dick
ens is announced. It was finished some
time ago and will &t>peai itext month with
Metbeun. The work is Intended as a
general Justification of DfcKeng and of
the whole of the gigantesque English
humor, of'which Chesterton thinks Dick
ens was tlfe last and not the least gigan
tic survivor. Each of the novels is dealt
with in turn. The latter" part of the book
Is devoted to a general estimate of the In
fluence of Dickens, whom Chesterton
holds to represent permanent and good
elements in the English temper.
JOAQUIN MILLER'S VISION OF THE
CITY BEAUTIFUL..The poet of the Pa
cific slope, Joaquin Miller, has written a
book giving'his Utopian vision It bears
the title The Building of the City Beau
tiful, and, Whether one thinks the dream
will ever be realized on earth or not, he
can scarcely fail to receive good from Its
perusal. it has been described as "a
romance of love and service" and the de
scription At*. It Is based upon the
proposition that man is entitled to the
attainment ty happiness as well as to its
pursuit, upon earth, and that happiness
will be attained when man comes to
place moral rectitude above all other
considerations, when his supreme prayer
'Lead us not into temptation," has been
realized. The religion of that day, will
be to love truth, to love country and to
do good.
The thought of the book Is lofty, and
it is clothed in the language of a poet.

WHY CHURCHILL IS IN RACE FOR
GOVERNORSHIP.It seems that Win
ston Churchill's candidacy for the nom
ination for governor of New Hampshire
is the direct outgrowth of his new novel,
"Coniston," now the most popular book
of the year. The letter from the com
mittee of the Lincoln Republican club
asking Mr. Churchill to accept the can
didacy begins "Your latest novel, de
picting the lobby and the boss and their
machinations, and appealing to the peo
ple to throw off their yoke, is as timely
as was 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' which was
directed against a form of slavery, less
insidious perhaps, but no more real or
vicious. To claim that this state is ex
empt from the general conditions which
your book describes would be sheer
blindness or rank hypocrisy. The merest
tyro in New Hampshire politics knows
that the course of her government does
not run free and untrammeled, as a gov
ernment of, by and for the people should,
but that, on the contrary, nomina
tions, appointments, elections and leg
islation are largely dictated by a pow
erful lobby, fostered by a great railroad
corporation by means of the varied, se
ductive and compelling agencies at its
command."

There has just come~from the press a
textbook on farm accounts, by J. A. Vye
of the Minnesota school bf agriculture.
The book obviates many of the cumber
some features which heretofore have made
farm bookkeeping an'almost impossible
undertaking for the Average farmer The
old-fashioned daybook, cashbook, journal
and ledger are entirely done away with
and a set of cards substituted. A prop
erly ruled card is provided for each ac
count and a complete double entry set
of accounts is kept. The use of the
cards is fully illustrated by photographic
reproductions from sample cards. All the
data used in the lessons were taken
from actual operations on a Minnesota
farm. The cards are such as have been
used for several years by Mr. Vye in
teaching farm accounts to his classes in
the school of agriculture. In the closing
chapter of the book are given the statu
tory weights of the bushel of different
grains in the different states and the
Minnesota laws governing weights and
measures.

AMUSEMENTS
Metropolitan"The Prisoner of Zenda."
''The Prisoner of Zenda" as is being
produced at the ^Metropolitan operihouse
this week by the Ferris stock company,
is bound to be one of the distinct suc
jcesses of the summer season, and from
the .royal reception given it by two
packed houses yesterday it will rival in
popularity any play evw put on toy
Minneapolis stock company.
That the romaritlo atmosphere, stirring
action and beautiful love story of An
thony Hope's great romance furnish the
material for one of the most effective
stage stories ever produced to the unani
mous verdict of all lowers of this form
of entertainment. Further than this it
is only necessary to say that Edward
Rose's dramatisation has realised the
possibilities of the book, and that Man
ager Ferris and his company are giving
a competent and artistic interpretation
in a setting that is entirely adequate.
Dick Ferris is seen to advantage in
the dual role of the king, who la abducted
by his aspiring uncle, and the English
man who Impersonates the monarch,
saves his throne and wins the love of the
Princess Flavla. It is a new part for
the actor-manager, but he enters into
the spirit and the chivalrlc atmosphere of
It with zest and effectiveness. In the
comedy passages with which the play
abounds, Mr. Ferris Is at his best, and
the flippancy of the dare-devil English
traveler looking for adventure, but who
has a heart that always beats true and
whose instincts are those of a true knight
and a noble gentleman Is artistically por
trayed.
Florence Stone plays Princess Flavia,
one of the most sweetly alluring women
in all modern stage literature, with her
usual artistic finish and ability. The
part is too negative to be an especial fa
vorite of Miss Stone's, but her naive in
terpretation of the comedy lines and her
realistic acting of the love scenes are
equally effective.
In the role of Captain Sapt, the bluff
old soldier who fears nothing In the serv
ice of his king. Lewis Stone has a part
particularly well suited to his ability and
to his liking. His portrayal leaves noth
ing to be desired
Harrington Reynolds plays Black
Michael, the villain, with spirit and, ex
cept for a little too much pompousness,
is very acceptable Charles Balsar is
seen to advantage as good-natured
Fritz von Tarlenhelm. 'A. Byron Beas
ley acceptably interprets the dare-devil
Rupert of Hentzau Miss Leila Shaw is

tions of Frau and Franz Tepplch. The

Chicago, July 30.The body of Mrs.
Ernestine Voss, 43 years old, was found
burned to a crisp in the ruins of her
home in the northwestern part of the
city. The circumstances of the ease
have led the police to arrest her hus

held pending the result of the coroner's
inquest.
A 'post mortem examination of the
corpse revealed fifteen small pellets of
metal in the body near the back bone.
The body was found in a summer
kitchen and neighbors told the police
that when the fire broke out Voss
searched all other parts of the house
before directing his attention to the
outbuilding, which was the first part of
the residence to take fire. Voss is also
said to have asserted that his wife was
away from home and in no danger from
the flames. Neighbors told the police

FOURTH BOAD FOB FALLS.
Minneapolis Rainy Biver Heads for
Boundary in Two Places.
International Falls, Minn., Julv 30.
This city is about to be reached a
fourth railroad, the Minneapolis &
Rainy Biver, which is now being sur
veyed from Big Fork, on the Turtle
Lake branch of the road, to this city.
The other railroads headed this wa y,
and building as fast as circumstances
will permit, are the Duluth, Rainy Lake
& Winnipeg, the Minresota & Interna
tional, and the Great Northern.
The belief exists in some quarters
that the Minneapolis & Bamy River ex
tension will really be an extension of
the Great Northern. Should this belief
be well founded, there is no reason why
the Great Northern should contemplate
entering this city by any other route.
However, another feature of the situ
ation, that has just become known, and
which adds color to the rumor, is the
fact that engineers have crossed the Big
Fork river at Wirt, beyond the station
of Bass Lake, which is at present the
end of that branch of the Minneapolis
Bainy Biver railway, and have laid
out the line from Bass lake as true as
a die in the direction of Baudette, the
town on the American side of the Rainy
river, opposite the town of Rainy Biver,
Ont.
All this shows that the Minneapolis A
Bainy River railwav is headed for the
Canadian border at wo points, and that
each branch will tap a virgin country
rich in timber, minerals and coal and
farming lands. The town of Wirt, which
at present is merelv a postoffice and
settlers' supply depot, will be platted
ns soon as surveyors can be obtained to
do the work.
