Russia a Melancholy NatIon.-Andrew
D. White writing for The Century for
July on Russia in War Time" speaks Of
the Melancholy of Russia He says:
The general Russian life, as thus saw it,
while intensely interesting in many respects. was
certainly not cheerful. Despite the frivolty
dominant arcng the upper class and the fetch
ism controlling the lower classes, there was
deep undertone of melancholy. Melancholy, in
deed, Is a marked characteristic of Russia, and,
above ALL of the peasantry. They seem sad even.
in their SPORTS their songs almost without ex-
ception are in the minor key; the whole atrnos-
phere is apparently charged with vague dread
Of some calamity.

by no means wholly. a fiction number

Inadequate Salaries for Teachers.--Pres-
ident Harper of tho University of Chicago
argues trenchantly in The World Today
for July for higher pay for teachers in
elementary and secondary schools. He
says:
1.-THE demands of the work can be met
only by those whom nature has endowed
with high order Of talent. The teacher
to whomtzis intrusted the fostering care
of our children should surely be one whose
ability we respect. How is It possible to
satisfy the conscience if a policy other
than this prevails? Is there anything
more precious than the child. whether
viewed from the point of view of the fam
lily or the state? Is not his training a
thing of pre-eminent Importance? And
yet we are willing to pay to his teacher
a salary far less than is paid in many
cases to the keeper of our horses or to
the keeper of our cattle. Who cannot see
the utter absurdity of this?''

Senator Nelson's Amendment.

Senator Nelson is entitled to the |
thanks Of the republicans of the north
west, and Of republicans everywhere
who believe that the time has about
come for changes to be made in some
Of the schedules of the Dingley tariff
law. for the position which he took
at the meeting Of the platform COM
mittee of the Chicago convention.
Senator Nelson didn't get exactly what
he wanted but his move was in the
right direction.
During the discussion Of the plat.
form by the subcommittee of twelve,
as follows:
1.-THE measure Of protection should
always equal the difference in the cost
of production at home and abroad"
That amendment was debated for an
hour or more, and, finally, on the
initiative of the ultra-protectionists of
the subcommittee, and against Nell
sons protest, the words at,least" were
inserted, after which it was adopted.
With this addition the Nelson amend
ment provides that sthe measure Of
protection should always at least equal
the difference in the cost of produce
tiontion at home and abroad"
AS originally presented, the Nelson
amendment correctly reflects the
views Of all moderate tariff repub-
1icans, and it is to be regretted that
it could not be adopted without alter
alton. The best Judgment Of the
American people is opposed to the
| bonus theory. The moment the meas
ure Of protection exceeds the differ
ence in the cost of production at home
and abroad, the bonus begins to OPP
crate. Senator Nelson's amendment
would have prevented declaration
by the republican party indirectly
favoring the bonus. At the same time,
however, the tariff plank as whole
marks an advance over that Of 1900,
and with the other planks, keeps the
! platform in touch with the latest
| phases of business and industrial
thought If it leans at all 1t is in the
direction of revision.
Revision sentiment was very strong
in the national convention, and Senator
| LOuSO is 10 ne congratulated OH Ilc
4 good sense which he displayed in pro-
viding that republican congress and
president should be the sole. judges Of
the time when revision should be I'M
/ dertaken.
/ This declaration will satisfy the
champions of the iowa idea and all
republicans who indorse that idea.
Those who know the history of this
plank and the attitude of the president
personally rely upon the confident ex-
pectaticn that the president will write
a revision message, calling an extra
session of congress, as soon as practi-
cable after the 4th of March, 1905, to
consider the schedules. It seems to be
the very general opinion. among party
leaders that revision will be accom-
plished sometime during the life Of the
ffty-ninth congress-. which will be
; elected in November. The Chicago
platform will make the approach tc
it by congress and the president much
easier than otherwise would be pos
sible, and Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa is entitled to credit for the work
which he did on the subcommittee Of
twelve to bring about this condition Of
affairs.

The Chatfeld Democrat is much exer-
cised over the girl who goes out on the
streets at night. It says:
Young woman, do YOU ever expect to get a
husband who will work for you, live for you and
for you alone, who will devote all his mind and
energy towards making you happy and comfort
able? If you do, then keep off the street at
night.
Unhappily it does not always follow that
the young woman who denies herself the
privilege of being on the streets at night
will get a husband who will work for
her, live for her and her alone and de-
vote all his energy and mind towards
making her happy and comfortable"

would not be-: girl on the streets at

Colonel Dodge's books deal with only the
military career Of Napoleon. 1.-THE politi-
cal events of this era, or indeed his per-
sonality, altho replete with interest," says
the author, 'can be touched on only so
far as they Illustrate the art of war, or
elucidate campaigns :. The basis of all
the information about Napoleon's cam
paigns is the letters, orders and bulletins
issued from the headquarters of the ar
mics in campaign, but the author has
personally visited the battlefelds and
the scenes of the campaigns. The books
are filled with maps and charts of con-
tested territory and battlefields. These,
coupled with the text, give an easily COM
pretended account of the military career
of Napoleon, even to- one not versed in
the art Of warfare. Added to these, how
ever, are numerous comments by Ma
poleon himself uponiE his actions, and
| upon events Of which he was part, also
the comments of others. More numerous
even than the maps and charts are the
| pictures of the military men Of the time
| those with whom or.sagainst whom he
fought. The author says in his preface:
This history Of Napoleon is written
largely from the French standpoint, altho
! due weight has been given to the author

Giving the Rules and Regulations Govern
ing That New Game Now Very Popular
at Mnnetonka and Elsewhere Called
"Tte First Red Rose"

Don't forget that new game called 1.-THE
First Red Rose" The season for it Is now
opening. And it is about as delightful and
interesting a game as there is. There are
many different rules for playing it but
what is known as the Minnetonka game is
probably as popular as any in this locality
You are out in the garden with your
best girl-or almost the best. It is here
that the rules vary somewhat, and some
latitude is given. Does she want to play
the game? She thinks SO. How does it
go?
Well, first. you have to cut the rose from
its STEM If you don't do this the game
has to stop right there. We will assume
that you gather the rose.
Next, it becomes necessary for you to
toss the rose into the air. Then the rules
Of the game provide that if the rose comes
down you kiss the girl; if it doesn't come
down, you lose.
Pretty good game, don't know? And
SO simple!
We express the trembling hope that
some Of that butter that took the pennant
at st. Louis will find its way into the
grocery store.
