OVER, SENTIMENTAL sSHAkESPER-

The Shakespeare devotees seem. to be
.wrangling in a most unref1ned way over
Henley street and Shakespere's birth
place In Stratford- Avon. These are
those who protest vigorously against any
Of old landmarks Bitter Ian
.guage Is used against Andrew Carnegie,
who bought the houses adjoining the
Shakespeare birthplace and agreed to erect
a public library for the town on the site
Of the buildings removed. Carnegie's
liberalitY is appreciated by the majority
of the people, but Miss Marie Corelli and
group of her admirers are opposed to
the Carnegie movement altho 1t certainly
is most fortunate for Stratford and its
special literary association that the H.
brary is going to occupy the site proposed.
Miss Corelli is,very anxious to preserve
what she calls the irregular beauty of
Henley street. She wants no modern
improvements of any kind.
The old Stratford Of Shakespere's day
has practically disappeared. The house
where SHAKESPEARE was born is not the
house in which he was born, after all.
there is very little Of the original struct-
ure left Some Of the old timbers re-
I main and a little of the original wall.
There have been so many reconstructions
that most people find that<they can't get
up a very abundant flow of sentiment
and are consOled with the fact that, at
least, the patched up building is on the
site Of the original birthplace Very little

Il Canada is welcoming the steel trust with
open arms. After doing it's part toward
Ipersuading the Canadian government to
raise the bounty on pig iron and steel,
and the bounty being raised, the steel
trust is preparing to establish big branch
at Port Colborne, Ont And before it has
broken ground it has taken steps to form
a Canadian trust.
All the other iron and steel companies
in the Dominion have been approa ched
and the first thing the Canadians know
they will find themselves handing out a
nice generous bounty to the great American
steel trust. 1t may be worth the price to
have this trust establish plant in Canada
and employ some hundreds or thousands
of workmen at Port Colborne or ELSEWHERE,
but it raises the old qeustion Of whether
it were not better to leave the bounty in
the pockets of the taxpayers and get along
without the works. s.. - aI5%a /: r.

Without, Due Process of Law,

treasury department. ~ts::' g. = ~:
Under the recent decisions of the federal
supreme court in the Japanese immigrant

authority, ,deport by warrant any per-.
son found lin" this country within three
years after landing, who. IN the officials

not directed against the Chinese especially,
or Japanese. but is Of general application,
and the Jap woman In the case. who did
not speak English, and had no oppor-
tunity to secure counsel, or appeal to
friends, was denied relief and the right
to deport her without a proper hearing
was sustained. :......
: The new immigration law extends the
period during which deportation may be
ordered to three years, and enlarges the
class Of prohibited persons. It appears
that If the government official decides
that the person in: custody is likely to
become a public charge no relief can be
given: This would seem to- be an li11war-
ranted assault on Individual liberty; CON
ferring, indeed, judicial powers upon a

was directed against Objectionable classes
Of Chinese, but, as Justice Brewer, who
delivered the dissenting opinion in that
case, safd, If the power to expel exists,
it may be exercised some day against
other classes and other people, and if the
guarantees Of the constitutional amend
ments can be thus ignored to get rid of
a distasteful class, what security have
others that a similar disregard Of these
provisions may not be resorted to? Surely
this is possible since the law provides
that any alleged alien, against whom a
charge of insanity, @of being a contract
laborer, or a person from. any. alleged
Icause likely to become a public charge,
is made and sustained by a petty official
without due process Of law, may be sum
marily expelled from the country
It would certainly be safer to have
proper judicial hearings In such cases as
that Of the Jap woman.

ORCHESTRA UNSATISFACTORY
John Forsell, Barytene, Disappoint-
ed in Sangarfest Accomnaniments.

John Forsell will have many nice things
to say about Minneapolis and her people
when he gets back to Stockholm and
Copenhagen, but he will shrug his Shout
days when music in the far west is
touched upon. Mr.. Forse1 is grievously
disappointed in the orchestra and con-
dennis Minneapolis in unmeasured terms
for not supporting better organization.
He dismissed it incontinently after going
thru Stennammer's "Florez och Blanze-
flor" There was no harp, no tympani-
five instruments were lacking, he said.
He refused to accept the conditions as he
foun dthem, insisting that there was only
one way to do things in art and that was
to do them right. Members of the or
chestra say that the position taken by Mr..
Forsell is wholly proper and that his
criticism Of the orchestra is just
Should Mr.. ForSell come to Minneapolis
again he would probably have no such
criticism to make, as arrangements have
already been made for creating an or
chestra adequate to any demands.

Meeting.

Martin Bergh of Sioux Falls, president
of the Independent Scandinavian Work
ingmens association, was in the city to-
day on his way to the annual meeting of
the board of directors at Duluth. The
order has made a phenomenal growth
since Mr.. Bergh became the chief execu-
tive, particularly in South and North
Dakota, and the reports submitted to the
board will be most gratifying. It is the
purpose to have several organizers in the
field during the coming season, and to. ex
tend it to the coast and the northwest
generally.
The directors and grand lodge officers
will attend the annual outing of the
northern jurisdiction Of the order. which
will be held at Ashland next Sunday and
will be attended by thousands.

Too Big a Guess.

The directory declares that Minneapolis
has a population Of 262, 900. =. :"
At the risk of offending those good citi-
zens who always believe In putting UP a
good front regardless of the backing, it
few people in Minneapolis that take these
figures seriously.
The public has come to look with sus
picion upon the conventional multiple.
Time and again It has seen it repudiated'
by the census Using the low multiple
of "a says the directory announce
ment, Minneapolis has a population Of
262,440." Why is this multiple termed
low, when census after census has shown
that it is too high? Why not use the
multiple established by the ratio of the
last census to the number Of names in
the directory Of that year, which was
practically 2? Using this multiple on the
number of names contained In the new
directory, 118;64O, we have population
Of 233, 900, which is probably about right
and shows gain of 10000 people in three
years. This is quite satisfactory as 1t
will amount to 100000, or so per cent, in
the decade, If continued. -
Minneapolis is now too big a city to
care about adding 10000 to it's population
on paper. EVENT. this guess should prove
more accurate than the census, it never
receives credit anywhere except at home.
The general public always goes by the
federal census with conservative allow
ances for growth between census years.
About the only effect Of guessing too high
is to raise false hopes which are cruelty
disappointed when the census Of Uncle
Sam comes along.

THE AUTOMOBILE OF THE FUTURE
Portland Oregonian.

After all the effort and money that have
been and are being expended upon auto
mobile construction and all the necks
that. have been and will yet be broken in
automobile races. the machine that will
abide with us and in time supplant the
vehicle drawn by horses is one that will
average ten or twelve miles an hour on
fairly good roads, and which can be kept
in1 service without expenditures for re-
pairs that will greatly exceed the feed
ing land care of pair of good, reliable
horses and the ordinary repairs which a
wagon or carriage requires. The preju-
dice against automobiles that is felt by
nearly everybody who is not able to own
one will disappear before the advent of
the machine which is built for use in
stead of speed alone.

Minneapolis Is Interested.

The people Of Minneapolis have a
very direct interest in having the Chip
pewa Indian reservations pine cut in more
deliberate fashion than the land commits
sionerf proposes. We all know that the
time is coming when the saw mills of
Minneapolis iwll have to shut down for
eyer, as, they have In hundreds of other
places when the tributary timber was all
consumed. Yet the longer that day scan
be pntyoff the better 1t will ba0for Min
neapolis, for more time will be allowed for
of the waning manufacture Of lumber.
It is estimated that the forced cutting
of all the pine on the reservations ar
fected by the Morris law will operate to
shorten by number OF years the activi-
ties of the Minneapolis saw mills.
!. From the jobber's standpoint, too, 1t
Is better to have the logging last mum
Der Of years than to have it all over in a
year or two.
The correct position taken by the lum-
bermen in opposition to the government s
determination to slash the forests down at
once is supported by arguments which the
forestry cranks" have been using for
years, but were scoffed at by the lumber
men. Now that we are getting to the flag
end Of our once seemingly inexhaustible
resources of pine, the lumbermen are be-
ginning to appreciate the eadvlsability OF
making what is left last as long as pos
sible.
At the best it will not last long. Their
VIII come an era of high priced lumber
and small saw mills located In the woods
near the second growth and culls Of forme,
cuttings. For our prodigality with what
nature gave us, our descendants will have
to suffer thru a century of scare and high.

:. MOTOR CYCLES AND PARK PATHS.

It seems strange to me that the park board
should prohibit the riding Of motor cycles
on the cycle paths turnout the park system
when no other city has done So. If the
members Of the park board should happen to
go over the cycle path system at any time
day or night they will find the cycle path

strange fact that the people of this city do
