And at the throne OF jesus, greet
When this old world sha'l pass awar
And usher in happier day?

IA NEW THEORY OF CRIME

II the statement Of confessed crook
as to what suits the people Of that stripe
in the way Of municipal administration is
to be taken as worth anything. and It
probably Will be so taken, what Billy"
Edwards the. convicted 'tbig 1nitt" man,
hos. to, say to-day about the police ad-
ministrations Of Minneapolis and st. Paul
respectively is worthy of note.
!, Edwards says that st. Paul has a chief
Of police who knows the crooks, and who
has. somehow or other, got the idea that
1T is his business to keep them out Of
town. If any Of them show up there the
police department are sure to find 1t out,
and the chiefs discipline and control Of
think of sheltering criminals, but obey
instructions toymake trouble for crooks,
and so much of 1t that they are glad to
give that town wide berth. Indeed,
Edwards says st. Paul Is one OF the best
policed cities In the country. On the
other hand, his testimony as to the Hb-
erty allowed people Of that stripe in Min
neapoIis shows the contrast as strong as
it could possible be made.
Another In teresting feature of his re-
marks is the very different view he takes

lice officers from that entertained by the

HALL FOR GOVERNOR

H. P. Hall is not ashamed to take

says he doesn't want the democratic

LITERARY NOTES

Speaking of the book trade in England.
the London Mail notes an increase OF si1
penny editions, and an increased demand for
American fiction, while war books have had
no great sale for eighteen months past. The
first year Of the South African war the de-
mand for. war literature was very strong.
Paul Adam, the successful French novelist
has written twenty-five novels, and he 10
under 40 years old. He is the most con-
spicuous writer Of the idealistic school.
Canon Ellacombe in his In My Vicarags
Garden and Elsewhere makes this good ar-
gument against hte Baconian theory OF the
authorship Of the Shakspere plays: 'Hs
praises not the fragrant weed, tobacco; he
loves not his lady's dog; but, far more sur
prising and weighty than these omissions,
nowhere throughout the plays do We find
single description of architecture or of any
architectural structure. Now, considering
the passion shown by Bacon in all his write
ings, for architecture, this omission will need
more plausible explanation that is even in
the power of a Baconian theorist to give in
order to remove the obstacle 1t raises. No
such great artist as he who wrote the plays
of Shaksperes possessing at the same time
as intricate a knowledge Of architectural des
tails as Bacon, could have let slip so many
opportunities of glorious illustration and de-
scription as are afforded by instances In the

Whatever may be. said OF Senator
Elkins' opposition to Cuban reciprocity
and the intense concern of the West Vir-
ginia statesmen for the farmers of Ne
braska, who have just declared for the
presidents plan of reciprocity, he cannot
be accused Of consistency. One minute
he opposes 20 per cent reduction of the
tariff on sugar from Cuba, in the interest
of beet sugar, and the next he proposes
the annexation of Cuba as a state Of the

all the duty on Cuban sugar. One can

THOSE RUDE NEBRAsKANS

When Nebraska civilization Is a little
older and little mellower it's political
conventions will not be guilty OF such
publican state convention yesterday. After
little further political education the
Nebraskans will understand that the word
representative is a misnomer. The mod
ern conception of the duty of represen-
tative is that he is a person who thinks
for his constituents. All they have to do
is to- reflect what he says. The old idea
was that it was the duty of representa-
tive to vote as his people wanted him to.
Considering this rawness and immatur-
ity Of Nebraska 1t is not strange that 1t
yesterday indorsed President Roosevelt S
administration in general and his Cuban
reciprocity position in particular, and
filed without action" a. communication
from the Nebraska senat tors endeavoring
to explain why they considered Oxnard
more important than all the rest of their
constituents. :"t
That President Roosevelt should be in
dorsed and beet sugar senators treated
coldly in such a supposed hotbed of beet
sugar monomania as Nebraska is a splen-
did proof of the strength Of the hold
President Roosevelt has got on the people
of the whole country. It has almost
reached point that the people are sure
that what he says is right is right
1t was stated in the press report ~ac-
companying his special message that the
president felt that he was opposing his
best friends in indorsing Cuban reciproc-
ity. But it turns out now that he didn't
know who his friends were. He, too.
made the mistake of supposing that the
sentiment of the people of certain western
states was reflected by their congressman.
After the course Of the Nebraska con-
vention it would not be surprising to see

Maybe the Janitor Can Tell.

TO the Editor of The journal:
Last Thursday night the assembly haI of
the North Side high school was packed with
friends and acquaintances of the class OF 'o2,
gathered to witness the commencement exer-
cises. For over two hours they sat. there
in an atmosphere strongly suggestive Of
hades. During that time am informed three
women tainted and had to be carried out

air was cool, but there was not breeze enough
to relieve the suffocating condition within,
If women clad in thin summer gowns reached
the fainting point, some idea may be formed
of the sufferings of the men in the thick
clothing custom demands.
Being one OF the sufferers. my Indignation
was great on learning the next day thats the
building has a yentilating apparatus that
could have been put in operation at cost
OF 81 for fuel. which would have thoroughly
relieved the sitting condition and have turned
two hours OF torture into season OF enjoy.

have paid, and when it was certain to be
needed. why was 1t not operated? Some one
is to blame for the niseries OF that large
audience. Who Is IT, --Lora C. Little.
