WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Suggestion as to Statues and Monument.

Suggestion as to Statues and Monuments,
To the Editor Of The Journal:
l have been interested in the recent
movement to place a statue of John Ericc-
son in one Of our public. parks. Certainly
John Ericsson deserves the grateful re-
membrance of every true American; but it
seems to me that the statues and rnonu-
ments in our public parks and places
should have some relation to the history
and traditions of the city, or at least the
state, or to the men who have, founded
and developed the city. believe in this
as a general principle. II we are to have
these monuments and memorials. there
should be some reason that would make
them more appropriate to MINNEAPOLIS
than to any other community. 1t is our
own life that should be, in some way, ex-
pressed. John Ericsson rendered great
services to this country during the civil
war, and there is every reason why there
should be a statue of him in the national
capital, but no reason for placing such
a statue in Minneapolis that would not
apply equally we'll to Admiral Farragut
or Edwin M. Stanton. There is every rea-
son why there should be statue Of Ole
Bull in Madison, Wis, but none that I
can think Of for one in Loring park. A
statue to the founder Of our park system
would be much more appropriate there.
There has been recently quite q discus
sion about the merits of the 'sHiawatha.'
am a mere layman, and one Of the least
informed in such matters, and do not
venture to pass upon the merits of the
work, but certainly the; subject is admir-
ably appropriate for "a statue in Mime
haha park, and for one regret that Mr..
Fjelde's work did not pass through the
needles eye of the art commissions re-
Guirements. A statue to Father Henne-
pin would be appropriate for its historical
significance. Statues to such men as ex-
Governor Pillsbury Or C. C. Washburn
would have a meaning In connection with
| the city's Industrial life There is moth
ing to commemorate Colonel John H. Stew
ems, the first settler. Then, too, we have
no soldiers monument to those who fell
| in the civil war, except the one at Lake
wood. Such a memorial would have a d.
rect connection with that great crisis, as
well as with the history of the city. A
good place for 1t would be the site Of the
old city hall. These examples will serve
to show what mean when say that our
public monuments should have some re-
1ation to the city's life and DEVELOPMENT.
I write this simply to set our citizens
plan already on foot can see, however,
that II present tendencies continue, instead
| of having statues and monuments of local
interest. we face the possibility of a re-
markable pantheon. Our. German fellow
citizens might donate statue Of Fred
erick the Great, or Bismarck, or the pres
ent kaiser; our French fellow citizens one
OF sGambetta; the English sof Nelson or the
late queen;a the Irish of O,Connell. and so
on to the end of the chapter. It strikes
me that 1t would be better to remember
that now we are all Americans and ali

The majority, it IS evident, prefer open
air activity. It is manifestlyz better for,
their blood and brains. Your chronic,
sedentary literary worker does not neces-
sarily kill himself. Long-bearded Ger
man professors who sit and study and
write ponderous tones, with the stems of
their pipes scarcely ever removed from
their lips, are noted for longevity, but
that is smill encoura cement for ambitious
young authors who have had enough sue
cess to know that one gets ideas accord
ing to the stimulus of environage, not
ably the open air environage, where con-
tact is had with people and things and
the blood is made to tingle with new life
by physical activity and the free air and
wine of sunshine. which is like the nectar
of the olympic gods.

A Case of Canadian Imitation.

In swinging back from a condition in
which the resources. of Canada were un7
derestimated, there is a tendency now to
overestimate them. An illustration is the
following paragraph from an article by
Alex Heron in the st. Paul Trade.
The wealth produced last year in Can
ada from all sources was nearly ten times
that produced in this country in compari-
son with population.
If that statement means anything, it
means that the per capita production Of
Canada is ten times as great as the per
capita production of the United States.
Assuming that the population of Canada
is 100000, and Of the United States S4,-
900, 900, the production Of Canada should
be to the production Of the United States
as 60 is to 81; or, substantially, according
to Mr.. Herons wild statement, Canada
with 100000 people, produces three
with $4,000, 900. AS the value Of the an
nual product of the United States is now
near to $24,00O,0 900, 900, the product Of
Canada, according to the extravagant Mr..
Heron, should be $4,000, 600, O00 1t would
be interesting to have MI. Heron produce
his authorities for this gross misstate-
ment. If there is even shadow of truth
in what he says he has made wonderful
discovery, alfact unknown to all the statis-
ticians, economists and historians, omitted
by all the encyclopedias, neglected by all
the ANNALS and year books, viz. that
Canada now leads all the world except the
United States in the production Of wealth.
AS matter of fact the per capita pro-
duction of wealth in Canada is probably
less than that of the United States. Fig
ures for Canadas production are not at
hand, but bank deposits are apt to be a
fair Indication Of relative productivity.
The American bank deposits exceed S.
800, 900, 900; those Of Canada are less than
$500, 100000; or about one eighteenth of
those of the United States, while the
population is one-twelfth.
Perhaps Mr.. Heron got his wild ideas
from a comparison of the foreign trade OF
the two countries, but even in that Can
ada's trade is only about twice as much
per capita as Americas, which is very
different matter from ten times as much
And he should know that foreign trade is
not a good index Of a country's wealth
production. A nation that included the
whole world would have no foreign trade
+ and in proportion as a nation is of such
extent that it approaches self sufficiency
| it's trade grows less. Half of Canada's
| foreign trade is with the American states
Annex Canada and it's foreign trade would
be reduced so per cent. If the state OIL
Illinois were an independent nation, an6
all its Interstate commerce thereby became
foreign trade, it would at once have {
foreign trade several times as great al
Canada's. The aim of our protective tariff
policy has been to make this a self-suf
ficient nation, a nation that does not neee
to depend on foreign trade. The more tn,
home production supplies the home marke
the less the foreign trade.

ONES WOMENKIND. By Louis ZangWill, au-
thor Of "a Drama in Dutch,' etc. New York:
A. S.. Barnes & Co. Minneapolis: n. McCar-
thy. Price, $1.5O
The author has not the facility of, ex-
preston nor the condensing power, of his
talented brother. His style is deliberate,
hesitant, and it takes him longer to I'M
tangle complication, but he has pro-
duced a, decidedly good novel ct English
life, chiefly devoted to marrying and Civ
ing in marriage. The story is accentuated
with bright thoughts on the philosophy OF
marriage and there are several fine
dramatic passages.
A DISCIPLE OF PLATO. BY Allgood Beach.
illustrated. Boston: Roberts Publishing COM
pany
This is a story of a phase of. Partisan
society life which some writer's have made
SO prominent that they are apt to give
the false impression that it is typical OF
French society in general. In this case
q rich American marries a heartless
French girl Just out of a convent school
and eager for all the pleasures the world
can offer Her mothers advice upon her
marriage was not to abuse her freedom, .
to cultivate tact; to avoid falling in love
with her husband. Celeste followed the
counsel and so the spectacle is presented
of a wife, loved and petted and honoreo
by her husband, and, concurrently, de-
ceiving him and dishonoring him. After
this play has gone on awhile, the Amer
| lean discovers he has been tricked and an
awful series of tragedies, in which the
innocent suffer more than the guilty, fol-
| low. and the dramatic situations are nu-
merous and effective.
