LET Us PULL TOGETHER

Some OF our contemporaries are now in
dulging themselves in discussion of that
fascinating subject for academic cOnsid-
eration-twin city union. This is all well
enough. 1t does no harm and it may do
some good in some mysterious way Su
perfcially this subject has always had a
charm for writer's and takers in both
Minneapolis and St. Paul at certain sea-
sons of the year-generally along about
October or November when tie business
men OF both cities find that they have
done pretty well. Rejoicing in their own
fat bank accounts. they are filled with a
spirit of brotherly love, look at the fused
spots on the map that stand for Mime
apolis and st. Paul and say, as they light
a fragrant Havana:
why should not these two cities CO.
operator"
Precisely, why not? And if not, why
not?
Each smoker is unable to tell why not.
He communicates his highly original ideas
to his friends and presently a wave of
brotherly love sweeps over the two cities.
How affecting it is What grand sight
to see locked in fraternal embrace those
who but so lately were arrayed In hos
tile ranks-and as surely as spring comes
again will once more belabor each other!
We know of no other subject on
which theory and practice are so far
apart. Hard experience has time and
aooj0 dom0nctrotad that No moDDar
Of amiable sentiments between the
two cities is Of the weight Of an ants eye
in staying hostile demonstrations at the
very least suggestion Of conflicting
interests. Because experience has demon
strated that such agitations as the one
at present stirring are never productive of
the least practical good It must be called
purely academic. So on with the gush!
Let us talk friendship to-day, for to-
morrow we fight!
But, more seriously. The Journal,
convinced of the futility of formal twin
city cooperation along general lines, a
cooperation which would sooner or later
become an "entangling alliance" would
suggest that both cities might take hint
from Washingtons farewell address policy
no entangling alliances-with the impli-
cation that alliances might be made with
other powers merely to fit the opportunity
and the time. Doubtless there are partic-
ular things on which and particular times
at which the two cities can cooperate
with mutual satisfaction and common good
ters let them cooperate. Any attempt to
reconcile the more or less conflicting in
terests of the two cities in some regular
plan for continuous cooperation will, in
the light of sad experience, fall. Perhaps
it is too much to expect a great deal
even from occasional union OF effort, but
no great harm can come from such efforts

AN UNFORTUNATE REFERENCE

Senator Frye says that he will again in
troduce his ship subsidy bill at the ap-
preaching session Of congress. He says
that the fact that England has become
alarmed over Germany's growth as mar
itime nation shows that there is greater
necessity than ever for such legislation.
Senator Frye's reference to Germany will
scarcely promote his cause. Recently one
of the directors of a great German steam
ship company in a letter to the London
Times proved that the German merchant
marine has been built up without sub
sidies There is no such pressing demand
for large American merchant fleet at the
present time as to make it wise for US
to resort to the questionable direct sub
sidy method of encourag ging it. There is
a ready market for all we can make and
produce now without the assistance Of
American transportation lines to other
countries. There are not lacking signs
that the American merchant navy will be
revived and restored through the opera
tion of natural causes and without gov
ernment assistance In the meantime why
should we feel so bad about letting other
nations play the drayman to us? We are
too busy to bother about organizing and
running our own dray line as long as we
can make more money by using the re-
quired capital and efforts in other ways.

Do WE WANT LECTuRES2

The Journal is gratified to know
that the announcement in yesterdays pa
per of the abandonment Of the Stanley
Hall lyceum courses has been received
with many expressions of regret, and that
during the day Miss Evers has had as
surances of substantial and enthusiastic
support If she will reconsider her decision
to discontinue the lectures and give the
people of the city an opportunity for an
other week to show their appreciation of
the effort she was making to establish
here a regular annual series of lectures
by men of ability and reputation.
The Journal understands, in view
of the protest that has ben entered
against the abandonment of the lectures
at the present time. that Miss Evers has
decided to leave the matter open for
another week in order to see if she is to
have the support she ought to have in
order to make these lectures self-sustain-
ing. 1t is not to be expected, of course,

GOVERNMENT BY "S0uAREs I"

What the Washington correspondents
have TO say about the multitudinous
guests at the various family meals at the
White House suggests that President
Roosevelt is planning to reach the heart
OF the country through the stomachs of
the prominent men Of various sections,
following the old advice to the wife that
the best way to a mans heart is by an
appeal to his stomach.
Who understands the genial influence
Of good meal, eaten with appetite, ac-
companied by a flow of pleasant CONVEX
sation and a feeling Of ease and good fell
lowship, will not underrate the possible
results Of such policy if kept up for two
or three years. After an agreeable hour
of this kind Of intercourse it is amazing
how easily conflicting interests and jar
ring ambitions may be reconciled. The
man who has thoroughly enjoyed himself
at the White House table will not think
the president altogether a failure, even If
It becomes necessary to deny his requests
or disappoint his hopes.

"On the suwanee River" at the Bijo'

"On the Suwanee River" at the BijOu
A prominent theatrical manager of New
York city once remarked that there was only
one certain way to managerial success.
People don't go to the theater to be in
structed," he remarked, NOR because the
newspapers tell them play is artistic. They
go to be amused. You must first find out
what your audiences want and then give it to
them"
Evidently that is the theory that has been
kept in mind in the staging Of ION the Su-
vance River" which is the attraction at the
Bijou this week. 'On the Suwanee River
Is the kind of play Bijou audiences want.
They enjoy It's sentiment, applaud Its heroics
and hiss its villainy; therefore the piece Is

dramatic interest tells a pretty love story.

THE PRESIDENT AND RECIPROCITY

The president is credited with modih-
cation Of his earlier views on reciprocal
trade because of recent utterance to the
effect that reciprocity should not be act
ualized at the expense of the home mar
ket and that our workmen should not be
exposed to the competition OF foreign
workmen. This position, however, does
not differ materially from what he said in
this state in his speech at the state fair
grounds. He then declared that our first
duty is to our own people and to con-
tinue the protective policy which has
served us so well in the past, and he con-
tinued ''Yet we must also remember, in
dealing with other nations that benefits
must be given when benefits are sought.
1T is not possible to dogmatize as to the
exact way Of attaining this end; for the
exact conditions cannot be foretold. In
the long run one of our prime needs is
stability and continuity of economic poll
cy; and yet through treaty or by direct
legislation, it may, at least in certain
cases, become advantageous to supplement
our present policy by a system of recip
rocal benefit and obligation" That Is the
position Of the republican party as would
be seen if it were called upon to vote on
the subject to-day. The Iowa republi
cans voiced it recently in their state plat
form and echoed the last words of the
lamented Mckinley on the subject: Rec
iprocity is the natural outgrowth of our
II Strio
must not repose in fancied security that
we can forever sell everything and buy
little or nothing. The period of exclusive
| ness is past The expansion of our trade
and commerce is the pressing problem"
This policy President Roosevelt accept
! ed in full, as he avowed upon becoming
| president Of the United States. 1t is in
accord with his own utterances in his fair
ground speech. 1t is a policy arrived at
| by the late President Mckinley after long
sounding of public men on the subject
| The declarations in the Buffalo speech
were the outcome of the reflections and
study of a man who always carefully
weighed the trend Of public opinion in his
own party and out of it. He had reason to
believe that he expressed the controlling
sentiment Of his own party. His success
or can hardly halt in the pursuit of a
realization of that policy. The senate
minority may succeed in defeating the
French and other reciprocity treaties on
hand in that body, but their opposition
will only stimulate the agitation The
policy may be STAYED off by factious oppo-
sition, but conditions of international
trade may, sooner than any one thinks,
change in manner entirely adverse to
our ambition to enhance our export trade
to the old world, by the retaliatory tariff
legislation Of nations which compete with
us. Such change would be an educator
in favor of reciprocity more effective than
anything else.

THE IMMIGRANT AND MUNICIPAL MIS-

The Rev. S. G. Smith, professor Of So
GEOLOGY in the University of Minnesota,
touched upon a sore spot when he told the
Congregational convention at Portland,
Oregon, that American municipalities cor
rupt the immigrants instead of being cor
rupted by them. 1t is a common thing to
charge the abiect failure of municipal
government in the large cities to the cor
rupt foreign" vote. This easy diagnosis
seems to rest chiefly upon the fact that
the foreign element Is in the majority in
many Of our cities. AS DR.. Smith points
out, the cities of the countries most of
our immigrants come from are governed
so we'll that they are our envy. The pre-
sumption, therefore, is that the immi-
grant knows nothing of government for
what there is in it, and that he is here
introduced 20 the idea of the exploitation
of municipal government as business
and career.
