Pardon of Cole Younger.

Consistency is not a quality that char
acterizes the discussions of the Younger
paroles and pardons. The views OF men,
as of journals, change not logically but
emotionally. 1t would be difficult to de-
fend the change logically. but 1t Is a TACT
that with the death Of Jim Younger.
there ceased to be any real opposition
in Minnesota to the pardonlng OF Cole.
If Jim had lived it is doubtful II the
brothers would have been pardoned yes
terday, as Cole was. The self-deStruc-
tion Of Jim and the revelation OF the
Dead sea apple the parole had turned out
TO be for him broke down at once an
opposition to the pardon which would
have held out year or two longer other
wise.
The board of pardons did well to make
the pardon of Cole conditional upon his
removing from Minnesota and staying
away. Not that it makes any difference
on the score of undesirable publicity OF
notoriety, whether he live in Mlnnesots
or in Missouri or somewhere else. The
value Of this one condition is to ren1ine
the public that to the end of his days
Cole Younger will never be quite free
from the penalty of his crime, that be
cause he is a murderer he will not be
permitted to live in Minnesota.
1t is to be hoped that there is no truth

A Big Appropriation for St. Louis.

A Big Appropriation for St. LOUIS:
z Minnesetas commissioners for the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at ST. Louis
next: year have asked the legislature to
increase the appropriation for the. states
exhibit from $4,000 to s150,oo0. This is
a request that ought to be complied with.
1t will be advertising money well spent.
Minnesota is still a new state. It has
room for thousands, even millions of peo-
pie. It has openings innumerab1e for cap
ital. It has room for more farmers on
the green prairies, and room for more
farmers in the woods. It has extensive
undeveloped water powers. The more peo-
pie that come to us the better for those
that are here. Our neighbors and rivals
in bidding for population are going to be
well represented at ST. Louis. We can
not do less than they.
The probabilities are that as an adver-
Using agency the st. Louis exposition will
be far superior to Chicago's show. The
country is richer now and has much more
capital. The chances are that instead OF
being held in bad times the st. Louis ex-
position will be followed by some years OF
prosperity. That means that the adver-
Using can be effectively followed up. The
Louisiana purchase states are bound tt
make a good showing at ST.. Louis or elsf
they will be ignored. Visitors will have
a special interest in the exhibits of those
states, and if anyone Of them has a poo
exhibit it will be taken as a measure O
the state. To have no exhibit or a poo
exhibit.at st. Louis is to hurt the state.

FOOLS GOLD. STUDY IN VALUES By
Anna Raymond stillman.. Chicago: F. II.
Reyell company, 6s Washington street. Price,
$1.5O. ~ :ss..
This study in values is put in very
attractive form, enbedying some interest
ing love episodes. It is a narration of
Philip Arnold's struggle between inclina-
ton and duty., The inclination was serdid
and injurious. Arnold,s sister stood and
lived on a higher plane and was his good
angel to the last. The scene is in the
southeast largely, in a Blue Ridge mining
camp. Incidentally, the power Of religion
to transform is attractively shown.
LITERARY BOSTON OF TODAY. By Helen
M. Winslow, Author of ''salome Shepard Re-
former" etc. illustrated. Boston: L. C.
Page & Co.. 200 Summer street. Minneapolis
The New Store. Price, $780,
If New York has somewhat ninimized
the Importance of Boston as a publish
ing center, Boston evidently maintains
her Importance, in large degree, as the
home of literary people. The author re-
sents the assertion that there is mo liter
airy Boston Of to-day" and certainly in
| this volume she demonstrates that there
| is a literary Boston, and If Boston no
| longer has DR.. Holmes, Emerson, Lowell
| Whittier, there are Others" and she
| tells most interesting things about the
personnel of literary Boston and how these
| people live and work She begins with
Aldrich and Colonel Thomas Wentworth
| Higginson, and reminds us of eighty tt
one hundred others, among whom are the
venerable Edward Everett Hale, julia
Ward Howe, Mrs. J. T. Fields, Sarat
Orne Jewett, Edna Dean Proctor
| Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward J.. T
Trowbridge. Arlo Bates, Henry Cabo

gives prominence, naturally, to the Cam
bridge set, beginning with President Nor
ton of Harvard, and telling Of the bril-
liant group of men and women through
| some forty pages. There are over .thirt,
illustrations and the text is deeply inter
esting. The author looks hopefully to tn
literary Boston of the future on accoun
of the prominence of many of her presen
lyoung toilers who aim at artistic crea
ton.

Rockefeller, Tax Collector.

A University of Michigan professor
who ought to be in Chicago University,
has discovered that Rockefeller is playing
a. very useful part in American civiliza-
ton. He is according to this authority,
doing for the United States what the
British are doing for Egypt. The profess
sor works out the parallel in this way:
Before the British occupation of Egypt
the fellaheen were burdensomely taxed
and the moneys were spent extravagantly
and riotously. Now the fellaheen are
taxed about as heavily as before, but they
are getting something in return Order
is preserved, life and property are pro-
tected. and great public works such as
the Assouan dam across the Nile are
built.
In the United States we would have
about as much wealth If the blessed
Rockefeller had never descended into oul
midst, but by virtue of his Standard OF
lordship, he has taken possession OF
| good deal of the wealth that would have
been suuandered in the hands Of the ig
norant and careless people and has ap
pl1eO IL TO uSelul wins liz o'e1AAUAi
| Oil tax may be onerous, but the people
| like the fellaheen, have something to shoV
for it. Mr.. Rockefeller builds universe
ties, endows hospitals, generously sub
scribes money for the assistance of edu
cation in the south, ETC., with the none
he gets from the people by his unofficia
. taxation. If he or some one else had no
done the work he has done and organize
I this fine system of making the people pa
revenue, we would not have had all thes
universities, schools, hospitals, etc
though the country would have been jus
as wealthy.
i The charming thing about this Michiga
idea is it's complete neglect of the ques
! ton of the ethics of Mr.. Rockefellers sys
tenn of getting the money. The professe
seems to think that it makes very litt
difference how the money is accumulate,
just so results good in themselves are OF
tanned. With the old Jesuits, he believe
\ that the end justifies the means. Bl
, our professor has done the public gre,
service in reminding it that it is just
l regularly and thoroughly taxed by IL
i Standard Oil company as by the polite
governments taxation system.
We are still waiting for some good req
:, son for secrecy in investigating the cal

A Down Town, Peoples Church.

Reverend G. L. Morrill, contemplates
the organization of a peoples down town
church, or, perhaps to be more accurate,
he contemplates a course of action which
is likely to result in such an organization.
The people Of Minneapolis do not need
to be told who G. L. Morrill, is. He has
recently resigned the passionate of a Bap-
list church in this city for good and suf-
f1cient reasons, and reasons altogether
honorable, both to him and to the church.
He has received assurances from num-
Der of we'll to- do business men that they
will back him in his proposed undertak-
ing.
There are only two or three things to be
said about a matter of this kind. The
first relates to the need of such move
ment. Unquestionab1y, a. Sunday morn
ing religious service held down town, and
conducted by the right man, would be
largely attended. It is unfortunately
true that the churches follow the move
ment Of the residence district as it re-
tires before the advancing and enlargine
business section. AT the same time
many thousands are left behind in hotels
| and in business blocks who seldom fine
their way up town to the churches. Il
these people are to have the gospe
preached unto them" to any great ex,
tent, it must be brought back to them
This is what is contemplated in such al
effort as Mr. Morrill, proposes.
& Another consideration is the personal
d ity of the man who does the work. Sucl
a. pulpit, so to speak, is no place for
man who cannot mix with and reach tn
masses. G. L. Morrill, is great mixer
At the same time, he is a preacher of tn
4 true gospel. Probably no man in TIL

ing or more courageous than he in plai

Sensational Plague Rumors.

The bill introduced in the house by
Congressman Saydon, Of Texas, provid-
ing for an appropriation Of $780, 900 to pay
the expenses Of commission to investi-
gate and report on the ''bubonic plague
now prevailing on the Pacific coast OF
Mexico" and aid the Mexican authorities
to stamp out the plague, is calculated to
awaken apprehension of public peril
which is not justified by the actual stu
alton. ....=... o.. .. .-.....-.-. a..
1t is true that, there were some cases
of the bubonic plague in San Francisco
two years ago, due to the indifference
and careessness Of the local health au-
thorities, and there is no doubt that some
localities in Mexico have been invaded
by the disease, because Of inefficient SAM
tary organization, or the absence of such
organization. Our government, however,
has, through the Marine Hospital Ser

former national board Of health which
congress killed by refusing to appropriate
any money for it's sustentation, taken all
possible precauton against the introduce:

continent and if there develops any real
public peril, the public will be advised Of
it, and, with the cooperation Of state
and municipal health authorities with the
government there is small probability Of
spread of the plague which terminates
and fructifies in filth.
The world. or the civilized portion Of
it. has made great advances in the science
of sanitation as it has in every other
direction beneficial to man. Formerly,
deadly plaques were almost universally

Canadian Reciprocity.

At the Canadian reciprocity meeting in
St. Paul the other day Mr.. J. H. Haslam,
Of st. Paul and Winnipeg, told his audi
tors that for the present reciprocity sem
timent in Canada is dead. That comes
pretty near being a fact But that is
no reason why we should let it die in this
country. It is only q, question of time
until the reciprocity feeling in western
Canada will be very strong. We want
to be ready to reciprocate the next time
Canada is. If the Alaska boundary ques-
ton is settled without resultant bitter
ness, the international joint high commits
sion would hardly be convened again be-
fore there would be a very keen in
terest in Canada in some form of rec
iprocity. A revision Of the Dingley tariff
with resulting reciprocity in tariffs put
ting our tariffs more on the lower level
of the Canadian tariffs would quickly re-
vive Canadian interest in the subject
Hard times in Canada might stir up the
old interest in better trade relations with
! the United States. The time is probably
| unpropitious for any missionary work in
| Canada, but it is not so for work among
our own people, large part of whom
| care even less for reciprocity with Canada
| than the Canadians do for reciprocit,
with us, chiefly because they have no
studied the subject.
