The Billboard Lady.


The W. G. T. u. convention, now in ses-
sion in Portland, Me-, MISUNDERSTANDING to
a most interesting and conclusive con-
domination Of the wearing apparel, or lack
of it, of the lady of the, billboards. 1t is
difficult to see why this estimable fairy
should not dress properly, especially when
we consider the rigors, Of the climate
Privately we own to having suffered. sew
eral considerable shocks due to glancing
casually at the billboard female semin-
airy while riding by. 1t is difficult to
say which is the more dangerous to the
young person-the billboard or the backs
Of the magazines. Take, for example, the
lady who is forever. trying on her corsets
we blush at the necessity that compels
us to allude to- this7in, the public prints
or on the billboards. Not that she lacks
charming features, on that point we make
no strietures. Nor on the beautiful
swan like neck which is, followed immedi
ately by the corset. But why should the
lady's form, after showing what the cor
set can do, suddenly change It's route
south and run at right angles due west
for az short distance, thence 81 switching
again and turning in it's original direction
until it reaches her neat and attractive
feet?, We shall not cavil at the public
corset, but why should the lady present
the appearance Of a, bug with the small

direction the lady is going. :.
My old college ctfhrn tells me that he

Mr.. Hill in His Element.

Mr.. J. J. Hill Is always Interesting. He
has q wonderful faculty Of wrapping tho
dryest SUBJECTS in a halo OF absorbing
interest. 10 read his unassuming yet
wonderfully impressive disoourses on the
great trade questions Of the day Is to
sympathize with DR.. Triggs' idea that the
Industrial captains OF our day We're the
poets Of other times.
Mr.. Hill. like most able men, has a
prolific imagination. To this faculty he
unites great creative ability. He has
visions Of mighty industrial changes OF
railway lines and steamship Companies,
Of globe-encircling traffic arrangements.
and then he turns them into fact. He is
distinguished from all the other railway
men of this country who have attained
greatness by his elevated point of view
and the scope OF his mental vision. Very
likely there are ADLER railway executives
in the United States than MIR. Hill, but
mono Of them are such masters Of the
philosophy Of transportation and SO album
dainty able to make philosophy break
through and prevail over obstacles. Where
these superlative executives can see only
miles of railway, Mr.. Hill sees the whole
essential transportation system Of the
world and grasps it's INTERPRETATIONS in a
truly Napoleonic manner.
It is rarely indeed that we have such
interesting deliverances from the witness
stand as THO discourse on the theory and
practice of continental and oceanic
transportation that Mr.. Hill gave yester-
day in st. Paul, in the case OF the United
States government versus his merger
plan.
To man with even a trace Of Mr..
Hills interest in transportation and the
merest touch of his imagination, the story
Of the balancing Of east and west ship
ments on the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, the value Of the Burlington
to the two systems. the tapping Of the
Illinois coal fields, the dire prediction Of
coal famine, the assertion of competition
between Mr.. Hills railway and ocean
systems and the Suez canal, the fond
dwelling on the low gradients OF the Burl-
ington system are delightful.
But the more Mr.. Hill dwells on the
formidable power he now exercises in the
main for the benefit Of the northwest,
the more one is impressed with the pos
sibilities Of the same combination for
evil, if the system should pass into weaker
or less devoted control. So long as the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern were
separate and competing systems each was
check upon the misuse Of the other,
and neither had it in its power to do the
northwest such damage as both now can
do if small men or perverse men come
into control. Pending the time when we
have far more efficient control Of rail-
ways in the public interest than now,
such combinations are to be dreaded
however benef1cent they may turn out to
be in the hands of the right man. =.

carried by the Twin City
Papers for September:
No Call for Lind.

We have yet to hear a single cogent
reason given why the republicans of this
district should elect John Lind to con-
gress.
We say republicans, because it will take
republican votes to elect him, and he is
making a special effort to cater to that
kind Of support.
No consistent republican partizan can
vote for man who has done so much to
tnjure the party in this state, the man
who has been the active instrument OF
infiicting the only defeat the republican
party in Minnesota has had in forty years.
No independent republican can vote for
Lind If he has at heart the best interests
of the city. the state and the country.
There are not many independent repub-
licans who would care to see the control
of the national house Of representatives
pass to the democracy.
A vote for Lind Is a vote that may be
instrumental in accomplishing that event.
uality.
No cool republican can see any reason
why he should undertake to strengthen
the ranks Of the incompetent democratic
party. Yet control Of the house may de-
pend on one congressman.
Merely as citizen Of Minneapolis, the
voter has nothing to gain by exchanging
Mr.. Lind for Congressman Fletcher. The
chances are ninety-nine out a hundred
that if Mr.. Fletcher is elected. the ma
tional house will be republican. Being a
d member Of the dominant party, he will
have an advantage over a, new member
of the minority party. Even If the house
should be democratic and Mr.. Lind elect
ed, he could accomplish little with the
senate and the presidency republican.
The most populous congressional dis.
triot In the United States, the seat Of the
commercial metropolis Of the northwest
can scarcely afford to be represented ir
Washington by a. freesilver react1onarJ
who Is out Of touch with the times, by
an undergraduates who would curb his
the rest of the world.
Such being the situation there Is no use
<hrusting an office upon a man whc
doesn't want. 1t, and has been trying az
hard as Mr.. Lind has for the past ter
years to get out Of office and stay out
Mr.. Linds admirable ambition in thi:
respect Is always overborne by adverse
circumstances. Every time he refuses tt

him do what he said he wouldn't HI
needs some good strong kindly help IL
his good intentions. He can't resist dem.
ocratc cajolery and when tempted he
falls and again appears as the enemy OF
his political alma mater, the good, ole
reliable republican party.
This time, though the straight out
dyed-in- they wool democratic nominee HI
is talking republican doctrine. We have
no doubt that the voters will prefer E
stalwart, rock-ribbed loyal republican
nominated by republicans, standing fo
republican principles invariably, to son,
who is not a republican, who insulted ant
injured the old party, and is now auda
cious enough to seek to go to congress t.

Clement K. Shorter, one of the biog-

Key to Jane Eyre rather gravely. Nobody

literary fantasies may impress the public

of that kind Of stuff that no single freak

Mr.. Nathan -Dembleby's assertion that
Miss Bronte's genius was constructive and

right, and, of course, no book by Frederic
Montagu or any other writer can be

to admirers of this sort of dramatic adj

good play even it's authors will not MAIN

no one can deny. The feature Of the last
act is a genuine Calling gun which fires
several thousand shots a minute and
which, for the time, usurps the preroga-

heroine from the final danger into which
the playwright has seen fit to cast her.
