THE PRESIDENT IN ST. PAUL.

With fair weather very large proportion of the
people of St. Paul will have opportunity to Pres
ident Roosevelt the occasion of his visit the city,
April a. He will arrive in town 2:3o in the afternoon,
be escorted to the state capitol where he will address
joint meeting of both houses of the legislature after
which he will speak the multitude from the steps of
the capitol This will be followed by drive around the
city, arranged with view to showing him the principal
points of interest and also with view letting the
school children him. At o'clock he will leave for
up-rver points.
So the success of his visit here depends altogether
on the weather 1t might be we'll to notice the
gentleman in charge of atmospheric conditions here that
penalty will be exacted he neglecs fails to
provide it clear and warmer
President Roosevelt is to have something like sixty
days of the experience he will undergo in St Paul and it
can be easily understood that the whole trip will prove
tremendous strain on his body and mind. He is i'm
petuous man, inclined to put intense application into
anything he undertakes and the making of perfunctory
speech to small crowd will excite him do his best.
Of course he doesn't have to make the trip and
Roosevelt is doing it without expecting
There is a convention coming year in which he is
much interested
But he is coming to St. Paul the president, not
Republican a candidate for nomination, and is
entitled and will receive, cordial greeting from all
the people.

HITTING BACK.
The Roland for an Oliver Idea in Leg
sIation-Repaying One Wrong
With Another.

Retaliatory legislation Is a latter
day method of hitting back, by which
one state in the Union seeks to get
even for a wrong done to any of its
citizens, corporations or interests by
the government or officials of another
state. If a Minnesota interest, for ex-
ample, doing business in some other
state is unjustly taxed, or otherwise
imposed upon by the laws or officials
of that state, the natural move is to
at once seek to punish any similar in
terest whose home may be in the Of
Tending commonwealth, by taxing or
otherwise worrying it here in Mime
sofa
The essence of the idea IS: You
have wronged us. so we will wrong
you the same way" And thus it may
come about that arbitrary interpreta-
ton of law in Ohio, Massachusetts,
New York, or elsewhere. against a
Minnesota institution, instead of being
reasoned with and defeated because of
it's injustice, is met with a proposal
to treat all the similar organizations
from those states with like Injustice
here in Minnesota.
OF course, If two wrongs make
right, and great states are to go into
the vendetta business, by which Who'll
Iy innocent interests are to suffer, be-
cause of the errors of lawmakers or
other officials, this method of getting
square is all right But it is a little
difficult to see the justice or comfy Of
the scheme.
Doubtless the hope of the life in
surance organization which has been
unfairly barred from certain states is
that by having the life companies of
those states shut out of Minnesota
the latter concerns will turn in and
work with their home insurance de-
partments and legislators to have the
obnoxious ruling reversed. But in
surance officials hold only brief ten
ure of authority at best, and the blum
ders and injustice Of one incumbent
is usually righted by his successor.
No Minnesota organization of any kind
is going to be treated unfairly in the
long run by the authorities of any 9TH
er state, unless preposterous retaIia-
tory legislation increases the distemper
and creates needless bad blood between
them and us.

haps 1t should not even be whispered
lest the idea be suggestive and precfp-
ttate the trouble. With the president
out on strike all public business would
be suspended and all the Industries of
the country paraIyzed until ne was an

anything may happen, and if the pink

Disadvantages of SpirituaIism.
There are disadvantages connected
with the spiritualist form of belief
that are just coming to light. 1t was
recently stated in a conference of Spir-
ltualists in New York that a man who
had a fondness for liquid refreshment
when in the flesh was still in bondage
TO that craving after he had become a
spirit. And so with tobacco lovers.
But the manner in which the spirits
overcome this desire after death is, to
say the least unique. The spirit who
wants a good smoke and being beyond
such mortal enjoyment simply hangs
round some smoker and enjoys it by
proxy. One instance was cited of a
spirit that felt the want of a good cf-
and inhaled the smoke in that manner.
In fact it was stated by one medium
that If men only knew how many spir-
Its hung round the corner saloon suf-
fering tortures because they cannot
join the revels and have a spiIitualfZed
cocktail or two, they would be more
careful in contracting the drink habit.
One thing of which the medium does
not speak, but which nevertheless
comes to mind in this connection, Is
the spirit wives of the thirsty spirits
who suffered fortunes in the flesh with
bibulous husbands and now have to
continue their watchings and waftings
for unsteady footsteps in another
World-if the word Of the medium is
to be relied upon. Verify there IS no

way to make feminine converts.
