The Virtue Of Being Square.

Referring to communication in an
other column of this paper opposing the
payment Of the withheld fleet sugar
bounty. T h e j ournal does not know
that the bounty was bunco game. 1t
knows that partly as result of the boun-
ty which the state agreed to furnish,
beet sugar plant was erected at a, cost
of over 100000. The money was sup
piled by people who never sat in the state
senate and who, prior to this undertaking,
had no property interests in the state
The J u.rnal does not know that
the claim for $4,000 could be collected
in the courts, because the law does not
allow the courts to 1nandamus state
auditor and compel him to pay a claim
of this kind which he sees fit to resist.
AS for the experience Of the company
in collecting its first bounty Of s2o, Ooo we
have no information as to whether it was
done promptly or leisurely. The legislature
Of 1901 did not vote the $4,000 be-
cause 1T could not be made to appreciate

original contract was unconstitutional OF

honorable as to pleal ethe statute Of limi-

~ THE Canadian View. s23t7
To the Editor of The Journal
Q, wad some power the giftie gle us,
Tae see oursel's as ithers isee%us.

You are aware that .tAmericans" were
very confident that, their pretensions
respecting Boring sea and its fur seals
were founded on law and right. Other
nations disputed these assumptions, and
an impartial international court decided
that the. United States contentious were
altogether wrong. ,a.-
For the last thirty years the Americans
have contended thats;their reading of the
treaty between Russia and Great Britain
respecting the boundaries Of Alaska was
entirely right and that of Canada equally
wrong; and until yesterday they declined
to refer the dispute to any court or COM
mission of arbitration. Now that they
have done so, however, it is to be ardently
hoped that in a, few months this vexed
question may be finally settled to the
mutual satisfaction of all concerned. It
will be found that the Canadian conten-
ton IS ever SO much sounder and stronger
than the vast majority Of; the people and
press of the United States had any con-
ception Of. In view Of the future inter-
ests and complications the world over
in which both branches of great Anglo
Saxon race must figure, nothing now or
hereafter should be permitted to cause
any i'll will or misunderstanding
have any true friends among the nations
of the earth. sae-:a& e. r.

IL. G. Wells says: 'The novel has altered

Cured to most citizens who have observed
how the architectural magnifeence Of the
structure is now deprived of effect. Mr..
Lofquist suggests that the square facing
the courthouse on Fourth street, and also
that facing it on Fifth street be turned

that Minneapolis has no down town

same time that it Is made possible to view
the Courthouse from a point that will set

on that beautiful flower, now wonder

the pruning of plants, and the whole num-

mind.
The Housekeeper for February (Minne-
apolis: the Housekeeper Corporation)
contains some very attractive fiction and
for housekeepers' special delectation,
prints excellent suggestions on the max
ing of rugs, and tells about Delft, genu-
inc and imitation and the making of the
ware. The selection and care of canary
birds is the subject of a pleasing illus

In the same connection, T h u r.

of the wisdom Of bounty paying as gem

all. That is another matter. Upon that

should certainly oppose the adoption of a
