YEAR OF TOO MANY BOOKS.

American publishers of books are
breaking all records this fall in the
number of fresh tones they are run
ming off their presses Some of these
publications are of value, but it must
be admitted. that most Of them ought
never to have left the manuscript
stage. They are as a rule frothy,
trashy, illogical rubbish not worth the
time of any reader except such as have
the leisure to peruse them for the pur-
pose of poking fun at the inanfty they
contain. One Of the latest of the VOL
umes which lead sane people to won
der if there arg, not more lunatics out
side than inside. the. .asylums lis the
child of the brain Of one Alvin A.
Vinal of Accord, Mass. Vinal's book
is 1.-THE Conihasset Partners" and he
announces that there will be IAN au-
thor's edition OF three copies, signed in
the blood of the author, historic red
silk marker, each $780,"
Vinal is an aristocratic author, too,
for he doesn't put his work on the
Marie Corelli, Winston Churchill and
Conan Doyle. He puts the price of
each of his precious volumes at SIS.
He expects no particular rush, how
ever, for his printed pages of wisdom,
because he says there will be only 500
copies of the first edition. 1t would
be a pity if there We're any more, and
the price has probably put future edl-
lions out of the range Of probabilities.
Mr. Vinal is his own publisher and
announces that besides the blood edl-
ton and the popular edition he will Is
sue a collectors edition of forty seven
numbered copies on rag paper, from
which he will part, with reluctance, at
the rate of $40 each. If Alvin isn't
careful he will have something over
forty of these left on his hands.
But Alvin A. Vinal is not the only
offender in the book world. He has
company, not in ones and twos, but by
scores. They are from almost every
state in the Union, not forgetting Butte,
Mont. If Vinal could get these people
in accord, so to speak, what time
saving proposition it would be for the
reading public for him to get them all
together and move them to some island
where they could get pleasure or re-
venge by reading their books to one
another.

1.-THE TRAGEDY OF cLoTHEs.v

Cortland Myers, pastor Of a Baptist
church in Brooklyn, has written a novel
under the title "The Lost Wedding
Ring" which will attract a great deal
of attention, especially those women
who make butterflies Of themselves
while their husbands toll overtime to
purchase their finery. DR.. Myers does
not mince matters, but says: "The his
tory Of defalcations cannot be truth=
fully written without it's pages that re-
cord the effort to satisfy the pride of
the unwomanly wife," DR.. Myers asks
pertiently, what a clerk can do when
brought to the limit between two ex-
acting alternatives, facing on the one
hand stern necessity and on the other
the wife's relentless demand. He says
the only resource is theft. With the
business man it is either to borrow
or fail.
To be sure, either Of these men can,
if he wishes to dethrone the queen, cut
the home expenses, the vacation, the
wardrobe. But such a procedure causes,
frequently at least, domestic GOODNESS,
little quarrels and occasionally divorce.
DR.. Myers insists that there is a pride
Of face and fashion which Is ruinous
to life, and remarks epigrammatically
that there is an unwritten tragedy Of
clothes and style which marks every
garment of vanity with blood.
DR.. Myers chapter on "The Tragedy
of Clothes" will be regarded by some
as too severe. There is, however, just
enough sober truth in it to set several
women, few of whom live in st. Paul,
to wondering whether or not they are
driving good husbands to untimely
gems and geWgaws.

HAS SOCIETY NO REMEDY?

No Thoughtful reader of the daily
newspaper can escape the conclusion
that the prevalence of industrial dis
agreement and the absence of any
means of protecting the public against
the effects of such disagreement is one
of the most serious conditions attend
ing American social life,
Disagreements between employer
and employee have prevailed in every
country and at all times since the
opening of the great productive era in
which we live. But never before had
they prevailed so generally, been so
destructive of the welfare Of society
or so actively or bitterly fought out as
has been the case within the past four
or five years in the United States.
So far as anyone can foresee the
evil thus existing is certain to in
crease in proportions as time advances.
1t is distinctive product of our time.
It is the outcome of the growth Of
great industrial combinations on one
side and of great labor combinations
on the other. These in turn are dis
tinctive products of existing conditions
in the world of trade and industry.
1t is impossible that the present state
of things shall be allowed to continue
without a substantial remedy being
found. When strike or lockout takes
place various remedies are suggested

a listless manner that she would do

Lederer will run in the face of the old
rule that a stage manager can fine an
actor, without the latter having any re-
course, and constitute himself a court Of
appeal for the 500 or more persons en-
gagged by him. In all big theatrical Or
CARNATIONS, and especially in those where
in the female chorus forms a major por-
tion of the company, it has always been
the rule to punish slight offenses with a
nominal fine, which increased in proper
ton for repeated neglect to profit by the
first warning. The authority for such
punishment has been vested in the stage
manager, and heretofore appeal from his
decision has not been permitted. The rule
is one of the few arbitrary measures of
ploy for "Sally in Our Alley" 1.-THE Wild
Rose" "The Strollers," and other musical
plays about 500 comedians, singers, and
should exist some one to whom appeal
can be made for supposed grievances.
The performance of Hearts Aflame"
capped one night recently being broken
a long wait between the acts saved it.
At the end Of the third act after Mrs.
Harmony has broken the dolls 81 face,
her lover, Aubery Boucicault and her
husband, Arnold DAILY, engaged in a
thrilling competition in hurting epithets
and spelling neck linen. They were so
engaged last night. And the author
Mrs. .Haines, and her bull terrier We're
standing in the wings, watching. ''You
hound!' cried Boucicault, hurting Daily
from him. With something of Sea-
broolSe's air in "a Chinese Honeymoon"
when he asks, did anybody call me?"
the dog sprang upon the stage, took in
the situation, and made for Boucicaults
immaculate boots. His mistress called
him off, but the house was in an uproar
of laughter, and the climax of the act
was ruined.
David Belasco has announced that the
new play written by himself and John Luz
ther Long has been named THE Darling
of the Gods
j., The drama is of old Japan, and recalling
the artistic and popular success scored by
Miss Bates in the charming little one-act
play, Madame Butterfly" the combina-
ton OF the same names in a four-act
drama, on Japanese theme, is sure to
arouse interest.
The new play will be put in rehearsal
Immediately and produced at Washington
Nov II. After the run of Mrs. Leslie
Carter in 'Du Barry" it win be brought

their cattle and sheep developed as
sources of state revenue.
Forty-four counties have their ag-
ricultura1 implements elevated as to
taxable value-there being an uplift OF
3S 1-3 per cent for Meeker, Mower,
Pope, Swift, Traverse and Wabasha,

Somebody in Faribault, Freeborn and
Kanabec counties forget to list their
valuations of manufacturers tools and
machinery; and so the honest ones who
listed were hoisted so per cent, while
similar conscientious manufacturers in

Just "once for luck the nabobs of

Some of the housewives of Kittson

so those who did list their machines
were given 33 1-3 per cent increase

FOR THE STRAIGHT. TICKET.

The most substantial service which
a Democrat can render to his party and
it's principles Is to cast his vote for
every candidate whose name appears
on it's ticket at each succeeding cleo
ton. AS long as the men nominated
for the several offices are known to
be capable and honest that service
should be discharged as a duty. 1t is
not question whether the candidates
are better men or worse than thei1
several opponents. The relative mer-
its of men are decided mostly on per-
sonal preference and prejudice. Unless
a Democrat nominated for a given Of
flee is a known and recognized dis
honest or incapable man, he is emit
tied to the vote of every sound Demo-
crat who goes to the polls, no matter
what office he is candidate for.
Other voters may vote for or against
individual Democratic candidates. That
is their affair. The Democrat who does
so is less than faithful to his political

convictions. The only way in which
ions which they entertain on the cur
rent questions of the day, when those
questions relate to the administration
of government, is by voting for the
candidates nominated by the party
which represents their opinions. II
there were nothing more in the contest
for office than the mere personal gain
of the successful candidates 1t would
not be worth a pratriotic mani. while
to go to the polls. AS matter of fact,
no matter how Insignificant given
office may be it is essential to the sue
cess of the Democratic party in the
embodiment Of it's principles into &C
tual law, that the candidate for that
Office shall be elected.
The candidates whom the Democrats
Of Minnesota have nominated for the
several offices, national, state and To-
cal, are all men of character and abil-
T he Clio knows why any Demo-
crat should withhold his vote from any
Of them. If we can carry this county
for our principles we must elect every
man who is named on the county ticket
of the party. Individual candidates
may have only their individual gain in
view in their candidacy. That cuts no
figure. The Democratic voter is not

those men stand for his principles he is
called on to vote for them.
The strongest ticket, taken all in
all, that has ever been presented to the
people of the state for their support is
that which represents the Democratic
party in this campaign. Leonard A. Ros-
ing will be the next governor of Mime
sofa. But he should not be left as Gov.
Lind was left, to fight alone the battle
for his principles. No man that votes
for Mr. Rosing, if he is a Democrat,
should fail to vote for every candidate
on the ticket. And If Mr.. Rosing ought
to be elected it must be said with
equal truth that every one Of his as
| sociates should be elected
The party has been in the minority in
this state. Yet its principles are &C
cepted by the great majority Of the
people of the state. There are many
influences which prevent men from fol-
lowing, or even understanding, their
own real convictions on public ques-
lions. The campaign which is now be-
ing made on behalf of the state ticket,
and, incidentally, on behalf Of the con-
gressional candidates of the party, is
one which leaves no room for doubt
or misunderstanding. The man who
believes in right principles Of govern
ment and has the courage of his con-
victions must vote for the Democratic
candidates. 1t surely cannot be ex-
pected that those who have some
doubts Of their own Democracy shall
vote for the entire ticket, if those who
profess Democratic belief fail to cast
their votes for any one man whose
name is presented to him on his par
tvs list of candidates.
In this campaign every Democrat
must vote for his fellow Democrat il
the Democratic party is to be successful
in locality, state or nation.

by those concerned to adjust existing
difficulties. These may or may not
be adopted according to the spirit
which animates the parties to the con-
troversy If 10 remedy is acceptable
to both sides alike, the strife contin-
ues and grows more bitter each sue
ceeding day. u
We have ay remarkable instance OF
this kind furnished by the coal strike.
The president land his cabinet, the gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania and both the
senators of that state, the leading rep
resentatives of the great commercial
interests Of the country, clergymen and
statesmen, press and pulpit and public
platform have united for five months
in the work of securing an adjust
ment. The public, through any and
every agency enlisted in it's behalf, or
that could be so enlisted, has remained
throughout bound hand and foot-im-
potent and fearful.
Is there no remedy that enlightened
humanity can offer for such BRITISH
ness? There is the remedy of arbi-
tratlon, and it is the only remedy. But
that remedy may be made utterly I'M
available. Indeed there is no way of
making it available, so far as existing
laws are concerned, either state or ma

cause, we are told, the state has no
right or power to make people agree
to settle their differences unless they
choose to do so.
That is the accepted theory Of the
matter; and yet it is a theory that in
suits the common intelligence. 1t is
representative state has no power to
protect itself against the damage which
it is threatened with, or to put an
end to the damage which it suffers
from the disagreements of it's individ-
ual members. If they do not choose to
go to law and settle their differences,
"a
their differences to go to law about,
the state must endure all the conse-
quences, and can only protect itself
and others against physical violence
if resorted to!
That is the position in nutshell
which those people take who insist that
such a situation as now exists as the
result of the difference between the
mine owners and the mine workers of
Pennsylvania cannot be remedied I'M
less either party gives in or both come
to an understanding.
When the ordinary, intelligent man
gets it clearly in his mind that this is
the sum Of it all, it will not be long
before American society demonstrates
that it has the right and the power
to protect itself in such crises, and
that it will exercise both for it's own
protection.

A USEFUL LESSON
LEARNING TO BREATHE
One That Every One Should Undertake
Who Values Health and Vieor.


What on earth are you trying to do,
Jim?''
The man to whom the question was
addressed was standing in the center
Of the gymnasium clad in the scanty
apparel affected by athletes when at
work. His heels were close together,
his arms were equally close to his
sides, the palms of his hands facing
backward. Without replying he slow
ly raised his hands upward and for
ward until they were on parallel lines
and at full length above his head. Then
he lifted himself till he stood on the
tips of his toes, holding his breath
the while. Just as slowly and DELHI
erately he resumed his original posi-
ton, and as he did SO he replied to
the question.
81 am learning to BREATHE" said he.
Learning to breathe? Why, I
thought that everybody did that during
the first few seconds Of existence"
Not by any means, my boy, as you
Will find out, if you go into training
under the instruction of competent
teacher Not one man in a hundred
knows how to breathe properly-that
is, to fill the lungs to their utmost ca
pacity and at the same time to control
the muscles so as to make it easy to
do. What I have just been doing is
one of the movements by which the
thoraX is developed. Others there are
for the purpose of Strengthening the
abdominal muscles, a prime necessity
to enable one to breathe correctly.
These exercises, If kept up, not only
increase the power to breathe deeply
and freely, but they add to your abil-'
ity to expand the chest, the stoop
caused by round shoulders is perma-
nently cured, and ones figure and gen.
eral health are vastly benefited. Even
if there is no intention of becoming an
athlete, every man, woman and child
ought to learn these movements and
practice them on general principles"

ton to give it trial-NeW York Tri-
