RARE EDUCATIONAL ADVAN-
TAGES,

: High among the many attractions
that are bringing new population to
this section of the country are it's edu-
cational advantages. The men and
women who first came into the North
west were of the same stock as the
settlers of New England; with the
same high intelligence, the same con-
viction of the worth of mental culture.
the same belief in education as the
necessary foundation for a successful
state. They scattered their school
houses everywhere; and. more than
that, they began from the earliest times
to look forward to and provide ample
facilities for the higher education as
we'll.
With the development of these COM
munities, and Of Minnesota In partic-
ular, the original impulse thus given
has strengthened, and the fruits of it
now appear. Not only has a high
school system arisen that Is justly the
pride of all the chief cities of the state,

university which today ranks among
the best and most successful in the
United States. but to these have been
added other institutions fostered by
private care which have built up their
own clientage and fill their own par
ticular field. We very much doubt
whetherany other portion of the coun-
try can show greater devotion to the
general interests of education, or a
more liberal or wiser support of them
than here exists.
All of ting leading churches have been
active along this line of progress Not
only the Roman Catholic church, which
maintains its own complete system of
education everywhere, and whose.
schools and colleges <p Minnesota are
wonderfully complete Ind excellent
but the Protestant churAhes as well
have built up splendid educational
foundations. The names of these pri-
vate schools, colleges and universities

ANOTHER STERN CHASE.

The Reliance wins the first of the
series of races for the Americas cup
so handily4 that, bar accident, the out
come Of the contest cannot be ques-
toned. That gallant Britisher, Sir
Thomas Upton, is obviously doomed
to another defeat and, much as we ad-
mire Sir. Thomas for his sportsman
like methods and the good grace with
which he takes the rebuffs of fortune,
still there is no reason why we should
not indulge in some gentle exhilaration
of spirit in the knowledge that we have
the men and the boats needful to
maintain our supremacy in the yacht
ing game.
The outcome of the first race is a sad
blow to the hopes of the British. Since
the new challenger was tried out there
has been a disposition on the part Of
the British press to indulge in jingois-
tic jubilation. The American invasion
of Great Britain, the fact that we have
helped ourselves tc, the trade of Great
Britain, have annexed many of her
tall young men, and have put Ameri-
can girls. in charge of ducal eoronets
hurt our relatives. over the sea not
nearly so much as they have been hurt
by these repeated demonstrations Of
the capacity of the American ship
builder to construct better ships than
theirs and the abilityof American sail
ors to outpoint their crack tars. There
is room for honest congratulation in
this latest victory. Britannia does not
rule the waves. We have demonstrated
that in the most positive form-so far
as the sailing ship goes. Let us hope
that the day is far distant when it will
be necessary to prove the superiority
of the American ironclad.

ing proud over the result of yester-
days race. 1t was national victory,
and though much glory has been won
by Mr.. Iselin and the members OF his
crew it is not to be doubted that the
feature that is most gratifying to
Americans is contained in the fact that
we have succeeded in maintaining pre-
eminence in the shipbuildfng art. That
is the important thing. An American
ship, built of materials produced wholly
in this country, put together by Amer
lean designers and shipwrights, sailed
by an American crew, in race sailed
under conditions to try both boats out
on all possible lines, has beaten easily
the best possible product of British
money, brains and sea craft. That is
gratifying!

woMEN AND The FAIR.

With the Minnesota state fair still
a week away, it is too early, OIL
course. to measure this latest step IN
progress which the woman's depart
ment of the 1903 fair will represent.
But that it has been substantial
stem inward no one who has watched
'wonan's work in connection with pre-
yious state fairs will doubt. Begin
ming on the very lowest plane, with
a can of superior jelly in one/hand ana
a crocheted tidy in the other, she mas
lclimbed-and not by easy stages
either-to such a height that male Of
ficiaIs no longer tolerate her but are
anxious to listen to her ideas. And 1t
is to her credit that during her climb
she has retained the can Of jelly
though she has left far behind her the
crocheted tidy.
AS a great spectacle. the Minnesota
state fair, like every other agricultural
exhibit conducted on a big scale, at
tracts and pleases the eye. But for
the farmer who comes in to view the
exhibits it does something more than
that. 1t sends him home full of ideas,
full of the zest of competition. with
keen appetite for some of those re-
year. Within the last few years it
has been the desire Of those women
who have interested themselves in state
fair work to make the fair more pro-
who come from the rural districts to
visit it. They have not been ashamed
| to learn from the men their methods
and therefore whatever they have done
| for the help and assistance Of the
| woman visitor has been practicable.
A club house in which are held DEM
onstrations in every line of work that
tcan interest the housewife-and the
| fact Is taken into consideration that
| the housewives interests are no longer
| limited to the four walls of her home
| is by no means the completed evo-
| luton of the secluded corner in a
| building devoted to vegetables. where
formerly reposed the can of superior
| jelly and the crocheted tidy. But no.
| body can deny that it is an advanced
stage. Neither does the woman's
building, with it's display of fine. hand
made lace, its loaves of crisp and well
Drowned bread, its examples of fine
/
sewing, represent the last step in the
matter Of exhibits. The hopeful wom-
an, indeed, dreams of a millennium in
which there will be no separate ex-
hfbit hall for women. even at a state
fair. However, before this can be
realized, even further progress must
be- made in the character of the ex-
hibits.s And women of Minnesota are
| waiting impatiently for the opening of
| the 1903 fair that they may judge for
| themselves how much nearer they are
| to such millennium.

At St. Paul aTheaters


The Al. Reeves company gave the
initial performance of the season of
10000 at the Star theater last night.
Everything in the house, from the box
office to the back drop has been
thoroughly renovated, ard,s though the
night was warm, the theater looked
cool and comfortable. If.fthe present
attraction is a fair sample of what is.
to follow, the outlook is brighter than
usual. The performance last night
was huge success from all viewpoints,
and the immense audience was at times
very vociferous with its applause. The
burlesques and the ss-specialties went
without hitch, which is something
unusual in first night performances.
The specialties in the olio are of the
highest order of merit and are an midi.
cation that the tone of burleSque is
being elevated. The best of all these
is unquestionably The Tossing Aus
tins" a pair of comedy juggIers, who
kept the audience howling for more.
Then there is the infmitable Andy
Lewis with a brand new turn entitled
'The Tout" Last. season he made a
big hit as THE Dope Fiend, and he
will undoubtedly repeat his success in
his latest creation. The plot is super
fious. AS a slangster he has George
AIDE on the retired list, and his race
track talk Is rich. $685. -
The company also possesses a singer
with a real voice in the person of
Katherine Dahl, who is a pleasant re-
lief from the shrill and raw throated
opponents that are usually supposed to
sing.
A local recruit to the company Is
Van der Koor in legerdermain. He was
well received last night and gave an
interesting performance. An excellent
turn of it's kind was a singing and
dancing act contributed by Devfne and
Williams, with many new and clever
witticisms interspersed. The only OBJ
jectionable feature of the olio was Al
Reeves, who tainted. what was other
wise an exceptionally clean perform
ance with a couple of coarse songs.
He sang one good one, ut Was the
Dutch which will become as popular
here as it is already in the East. He
will do the show a benefit by cutting
out the others.
The first part, "a Chinese Sunny
Moon" is entirely new, contains some
first-class music, good comedy and is
splendidly costumed. The .afterpiece
is the same as last season, with the
exception of new music by Andy Lewis
and all new costumes. The chorus de-
serves commentator for it's first per-
Torrance. The part of the show girl
is to look pretty, role which the
young women filled admirably last
night ~ -'.-

THE PRESIDENTIAL CLASS.

Carter Harrison, Of Chicago, having
hunted with much success the prowling
beasts that infest the Levee district, is
going after big game. He feels the
promptings of ambition. He is on his
way West with a hunting outfit and
proposes to shoot UP the country. Are
we to understand that he is in train
ing for the presidential nomination?
1t is becoming the proper thing for
the man with high political ambitions
to shoot his way through piles of cata-
mounts to the heights of glory. Who
is there with soul so dead, whose heart
within him has not bled as he fed
himself protected bread and worship
ed at the shrine of Ted, his CORY
hands all dripping red, with blood of
beasts that had not fled when the presi-
dent approached? Who has not been
caught by the valor of that august
Nimrod who halts in the hunting down
Of official hyenas only to indulge in
the gentle pastime of freeing grizzlies?
The promptings of the national spirit
have been so directed by the exploits
Of our great ones that nothing but the
greenback label could prevent a man
who had killed tigers and elephants
from being compelled to accept the
presidency.
This it Is, perhaps, that INSPIRES
Mayor Harrison. He has had his finger
He has marked the acceleration of the
pulse beat when the wires were
freighted with the CORY tidings that
told the tale of day in the mountains
The announcement that the bat
House" had endued new and Won
derfuI suit or had given to contem-
porary anthology new song of the
people never stirred him as he has
been stirred by the echoes of rife shots
in the Rockies. Since he went up into
Michigan and killed a bear the states
manship Of Hinky Dink impresses him
less. He Is going after big game.
Mayor Harrison might be worse oc-
cupied. There are many votes con-
tanned in the pelt of a grizzly; the
mountain lion is prolific of glory. He
cannot be cIassed as an imitator for
Col. Roosevelt did not discover the
grizzly, nor was he the first to compel
the admiration of a grudging world
through deeds of prowess afeld
Here's hoping that Harrison will bag
every loose "varmint" in the Rockies.

STATESMAN OF THE OLD
SCHOOL.

passes from the stage the most proml-
nent, we had almost said the last re-
naming statesman of the old school in
England. He has been a great man IN
his day, carried heavy burdens, dis
charged high trusts conscienuousiy ac-
cording to his lights, fought for MS
party with the full conviction that his
party's success wrought for the wei
fare of the empire. He has had to
make his compromises with the ideal at
home and abroad, in the matter of the
Boer, in the matter of the Turk; but
he was Conservative, an Engl1Shman
and a gentleman to the last.
The contrast between him and either
his predecessor or his successors is
startling There was no better proof OF
the vitality of Conservatism in Great
Britain than it's survival of the meth
DDS of Beaconsfield and it's escape from
the impress of his personality. No man
more unlike him could have taken up
his staff of command. Quiet dignity
instead of display, sincerity instead OF.
a duplicity that was often for nothing
other than the pleasure of the game,
the staid and respectable instead of the
spectacular and theatrical, the firm
hand of the master for the lightning
like agility of the prestidigitator-
these marked the transition from Bea-
consfield to Salisbury.
So he carried his great Office as one
loves to see high station honored To
| it he made sacrifices of something OF
| his life. To him as to his royal mis-
! tress the South African conflict with
| it's endless and costly sacrifice was
| horrible nightmare. He loved the old
| and peaceful ways; the adherence to
| tradition the subordination OF swift
ness to certainty; the old order in
everything rather than the new. In this
path he carried himself manfnily if not
| brilliantly, steadfastiy if not heroicallye
! and did nobler service and will be more
| truly missed and mourned thana4as
| greater actor or a lesser patriot.
| England has need Of more such men,
| The last hours of Lord Salisbury must
have been tormented by the spectacle
| of his party's present. 1t is in the
! hands of a man of something of his
| own temper without his ability to COM
mand obedience; but moved hither and
| thither by the cold, calculating, salr,-
| donic spirit who is the real ruler Of
| the Conservative party today and
whose God is an opportunism that has
no mixture of either far-s sighted .states5
