The Minnesota State Fair, which
came to3a close il blaze Of glory
last Saturday evening, was one Of
the most successful of its kind from
the standpoint Of both attendance
and attractions, ever held ii the

cannot be given p President Cooper
and Secretary Randall, and their
associates for the excellent manage

The new agricultural hall, for
which the legislature appropriated
$25, 900, was thrown open to exhibits
and the crowd, and all announced it
the most efficiently arranged
building for the purposes intended.
Here every thing in the line Of agrii-

Discipline at shattuck.
the Editor OF The Journal.

To the Editor OF The Journal.
VIII you kindly give me space to reGssurs
the public in regard to the attitude OF the
authorities OF Shattuek school towards the
custom all too common in schools and col
leges Of maltreatlng new boys and lower
classmen. Much has been said and printed
that is grossly exaggerated or wholly untrue
Of its prevalence at Shattuck. 1t has never
taken on the brutal form here that prevails
in some places, but 1t is true that the custom
Of tagging" and mild form of hazing has
gained foothold of late. 1t is true also that
the necessary reforms in the discipline, espe-
cially in the determination to root out all
semblance Of thiscowardly and brutal imposi-
tion on boys when they come to the school,
developed a spirit Of opposition which led
many of the boys into most foolish demon
stration, of which most of them were very
soon profoundly ashamed.
The public ought to know that all IN au-
thority are a unit in the desire and effort to
break UP this custom, and that the rector has
laid on the new head master and commandank
the responsibility of accomplishing this, and
ample power in administering the needed dis
ciplne. The head master is a masterful man
with boys, and the reforms already dawning,
together with the dismissal OF some Of the
leaders, aud the very severe discipline meted
out to others. leave no doubt as to the final
have no fear that the faculty will shrink
from any responsibility necessary In putting
stop to this. james Dobbin, Rector.

A CONTRACT IN THE RIGHT PLACE

The state capitol commission decided
wisely in terminating the tangle over the
mechanical and power-house equipment of
the new capitol by awarding it to the Min
neapolis bidder. 1t appears that the two
bids we're not widely different in figures,
but the Minneapolis firm had the moral
advantage Of using machinery largely
made within the state The obtaining of
this contract means that a little of the
vast sum being spent on the new capitol
will be disbursed in Minneapolis. 1t is
estimated that about $685. 900 of the 1928,
600 involved in the contract will go to
workmen employed in the various local
factories that get the sub-contracts and
that about as much more will be paid to
Minneapolis men charged with the work of
installing the plant. About $50,00O more
should represent what will be paid out To-
cally for material profit. Generous credit
should be given John DeLaittre, the Min
neapolis member of the commission, for
seeing that the local bidder got a fair
show While it would not be good bust
ness to urge that home contracts be given
home men because they are such, that fact
should always have the determining
weight when it is conceded that the quail
ity and price of the home product are, at
least, on par with that from outside.

CUBAN SENTIMENT

There were no evidences at Havana and
in Cuba, indeed, yesterday, OF hostility
toward the United States. The demon
stration in honor Of General Wood was
genuinely enthusiastic and sincere. There
was no mlstaking the growth among
Cubans of an intelligent comprehension OF
the dependence of the island upon the
cial prosperity. General Wood was pub
licly thanked, yesterday, for his presen-
tation to the president, during his visit
to Washington, of the need Of reciproc-
ity treaty with Cuba, to which the presi-
dent seems to have committed himself.
Of course, no reciprocity treaty can be
negotiated with Cuba until the insular
government is elected and installed some
months hence. Until then, the war de-
partment will have control and it can
regulate customs duties on goods coming
into Cuba, while congress alone can act
on duties on goods coming from Cuba into
the United States. The war department,
indeed, has just made large reductions
on Oct l. The duty on machinery i'm
ported into the island is reduced 80 per
cent and a special rate of 5 per cent ad
valorem has been made for railway ma
terial and the rebate of $3.40 per hundred
kilos Ga kilogram is 2.204 pounds) allowed
on Porto Rican coffee heretofore, is re-
pealed. Agricultural machinery and rail-
way material are sorely needed in Cuba
and the reduction of duties on them will
benefit, not only the Cubans but dealers
in such articles in this country. The
war departments reductions stand for
the next twelve months. The working of
this tariff WILL no doubt, show the ad-
vantage to our trade of shading duties suf-
ficiently to stimulate buying. Unless we
have reciprocal trade with Cuba, Ger
many, who is making strong trade efforts
on the island and is getting it, will out
strip US in the commercial race on the
island. President Mckinley favored lib
eral reciprocal relations with Cuba, and
President Roosevelt authorized General
Wood to inform the Cuban constitutional
convention that the present administra-
tion favors the policy.
There is no doubt that annexation senti-
ment is increasing in Cuba and it is pos
sible that, after trying independent self
government a year or so, that sentiment
will develop so strongly that it will be-
come a demand. In that case would the
sugar and tobacco interests here oppose
annexation on the ground that they would
suffer? BY parity of reasoning, the cot
ton growers of Mississippi and Alabama,
Louisiana and Texas ought to have pro-
tested against the competition in cotton
growing in Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory
Congress has this matter in its own
hands. If congress wants to promote the
material prosperity of Cuba, an agricul-
| tural country depending very largely upon
the two products, sugar and tobacco, it
will legislate a reduction of duties on
these products. Concurrently, congress
will benefit our trade by giving larger
market for over 100 articles produced in
the United States.

AN EARLY MORNING MYSTERY
New York Tribune

The earth IS the Lords, and the fullness
thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein.
Clear and strong on the air of the early
morning came these words. 1t was little
after . O'Clock, and some newspaper men
heard them as they were leaving their offices.
Park row is quietest at that hour, and loud
voice will carry far. On the other side of
the street. over by the postofffce, walked a
tramp. Only a tramp; but he was sreciting
the glorious psalm of David as though he
realized its beauty and felt its power.
For He hath founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the floods
He removed his hat as he said these words,
and emerged into the bright moonlight. His
walk was slouch and his clothes were in
tatters, but his eyes were raised to the heav-
ems, and there was a rapt expression on his
unshaven face.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord,
Or who shall stand in His holy place?
The voice lost some Of its huskiness and
ascended clearer as the wanderer passed
across Mail street and reached the park.
There was a challenge in the tome, which
became intensified as the man continued:
He that hath clean hands and a pure heart
Who hath not lifted UP his soul into vanity
nor sworn deceitfully,
He shall receive the DleSSlQS from the LOfu,
And righteousness from the God Of his saliva
tion.
He was at the entrance to the broad plaza
that runs through the park directly in front
of the city hall now, and he stood there, his
hat in his hand, as he finished the psalm:
This is the generation of them that seel
Him
That seek Thy face, o Jacob!
Fuller and rounder rang the voice, and the
attitude of the tramp and his manner was
that of one who had read the words many
times from a pulpit.
Triumphantly he continued:
Lift up your heads, o ye gates,
And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors,
And the King of Glory shall come in.
There are not many pedestrians at this
hour in the morning. but a few had stopped
and were regarding the speaker.
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord, mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, We gates,
Even lift them up, We everlasting doors,
And the King of Glory shall come in.
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord of Hosts, He is the King OF Glory.
He stood for moment, stretched his hands
to heaven bowed his head and then sham
bled away toward Broadway.

INDUSTRIAL SECURITIES

New York reports that there has been a
professional traders of the stock ex-
change and, yesterday, the effect OF the
scaling down process was seen in the ex-
ceedingly languid desire after the stocks
at the reduced quotations, showing that
professional manipulation had put many
Of them very far above real market value.
Says the dispatch: "The quotations
crumbled away into fragments under the
Offering down process. Some of the suf-
ferers in the various movements we're af
fected by specific developments, such as
declining earnings and actual or threat
ened new competition. The
results amount to a clear demonstrat ton
that ruling prices have been the result of
fragrant manipulation" Thus, whenever
Wall street has one Of those ''great
booms,' it is very certain that very many
shares have been doomed" far beyond
their intrinsic value, but when there is a
rampant market on, fevered speculators
pay very little attention to intrinsic
values and grab at good and bad stocks
alike, trusting to their luck" to pull
through. These Blooms" are always fol-
lowed by collapses with the concomitant
sacrifice Of the lambs"
But there are industrials and indus
trials The wheat and tares are in close
propinquity in the stock exchange. The
Industrial dividends for October indicate
high degree of prosperity among some of
them. The aggregate dividends to stock
holders are reported at 500, ,707, SAT. against
$19,436O34 for September, and half Of the
October dividends were contributed by
eight corporations. Since Jan 1, 1901. the
aggregate of industrial dividends, accord
ing to the New York Journal OF Commerce.
is 5000, 756,705, the heaviest payments be-
ing those Of last January-$29. .915, TAO.
Since these figures were published. the
United States Steel Corporation has de-
clared quarterly dividends of 1s4 per cent
on the preferred stock and 1 per cent on
the common stock, the total net earnings
for six months having been s54. .954. .S71.
This latter corporation is a money-maker,
and it ought to be, for Mr. Schwab is au-
thority for the statement that it could de-
liver steel billets in England for S16.5O
per ton, the lowest price for which Eng
lish manufacturers could make them being
$19 per ton.
The dividend disbursements show that
of the vast number of industrial corpora
tions organized within the past few years.
only sixty or seventy of them are organ
lied for business, pure and simple, and
these are doing well. Scores of the cor
porations organized for speculative pur-
poses have gone to the wall.

ONE POINT OF AGREEMENT

There is one feature of the Schley in
quiry in which all Americans can find
satisfaction: The inquiry has now pro-
ceeded far enough to show that despite
some wild and unkind talk and the cruel
ISLANDERS of Maclay there is no room for
any question Of Admiral Schley's courage
The whole gist of the question the court
will have to answer is: Did Admiral
Schley use good or poor Judgment in his
direction of his squadron? The tactics
Of the Brooklyn during the battle off
Santiago may be important as bearing on
this general question, but it is likely that
there will not even be any ex parte evi-
dence discreditable to Admiral Schley's
courage. Whatever the court may decide
on the main question, as it now appears
it is certain that there will be no justifi-
cation for Maclay's insinuations of cow
ardice and his libelous charge of .'caitiff
flight

SHEPARD OPPOSES Low

With cheers for Coler, who has made
what record Tammany can stand on in it's
appeal for the votes Of those who do not
use their ballots primarily to advance
their own selfish interests, the Tammany
democrats last night nominated Edward
M Shepard, corporation lawyer Of Brook
lyn for mayor OF Greater New York.
Tammany's feelings were with Coler but
its votes were where Boss Croker wished
to have them; SO the convention cheered
Coler and nominated Shepard
Croker favored or permitted the nom
Ination of Shepard for at least two rea-
Eons. The Brooklyn regular democratic
leaders desired Brooklyn man to offset
the popularity Of Seth Low in his home
Borough, and Croker himself felt the need
If a nominee who has had some preten-
lions to political respectability and is as
.ell a man Of some standing. Coler is
personally too popular and hence too dan
gerous to receive the favor of the boss
The fact that Mr.. Shepard has been some
thing of mugwump in politics may be
used to impress some voters with the
conviction that he will, if elected, exer-
else independence in office, and may lead
others to believe that the stripes of the
Tammany tiger have faded a little of late.
In the gubernatorial campaign of 1894
he opposed David B. Hill, the next year
he was the candidate of the Independent
democracy for mayor of Brooklyn, and in
ma oil fO bo
vention of gold democrats at indianapolis.
In 1897 he supported Seth Low for mayor
and in 1899 Topped into the Bryan ranks
Though Mr.. Croker supposedly knew
what he was doing when he permitted
his followers to nominate Mr.. Shepard, il
is not difficult to understand how, before
the campaign is over, the boss may feel
that he made mistake. 1t will be diff
cult for him who supported Seth Low in
1897 and said of Tammany then when it
was better, if anything, than now, that
its ticket represented a program of vuI-
gar spoliation and grinding tyranny of
blackmail for the personal freedom of the
thousands of decent men in New York
who could be oppressed by the police.
This he exclaimed lis oligarcny and
the trade of the highwayman 1t is not de-
mocracy." If Tammany has changed for
the worse-if that were possible-and Mr..
Shepard now finds that he can accept it's
nomination in such critical campaign
he must have deteriorated pitifully.
Another weak spot in Shepard's armor,
which may vet cost him the loss of the
bauble for which he appears to have sold
himself. is his record with respect to the
late President Mckinley. Voters still
mourning the death of the president will
not take kindly to nominee who last
year accused President Mckinley of max
ing a campaign document of his Thanks
giving proclamation and spoke of the
same presidents timid and cowardly
heart" that "shrinks and shudders."
Mr.. Croker might have gone further and
done better. 1t may be that to head his
ticket with a man of social respectability,
wealth and high business standing he has
lost his battle.
So be it!
