knowledge of Mandalay it possesses,
and MFR. Kipling neglected to mention
the needs Of the Burma metropolis,
In fact. She gave his readers to UNDER
stand that Mandalay was the recipient
of most of the gifts the gods had to
shower when the world was made and
that, consequently, it could not be i'm
proved upon.
If the native feels painfully the lack
of public library in MandaIay, it is
probable that a sufficient number of
public spirited men will be found to
aid the project of founding one. An
drew Carnegie may become interested
in the plan. though his interest in he
roes seems to have supplanted his in
terest in libraries. But many will de-
plore this Bostonizing of the Burma
town. Mr.. Kip1ing has intimated that
the Burma girl was never cut out for
bluestocking, yet can she hope ~to
escape the insidious influence of a pub
lie library? Is it not probable that the
tourist of the future will find her dis
cussing her subliminaI self instead of
"whacking white cheroot 2" 1t would
seem, indeed, that thirst for higher
culture and it's resultant, the woman's
club, threaten Mandalay.
However, it is seIfishness merely
that will prevent the citizen of the Oe-
cident from sympathizing with the
philanthropie and public spirited
scheme of the gentleman from Bur
ma. The knowledge that somewhere
east of Suez" the decalogue is ignored,
morals are wobbly and the best is
hopelessly confused with the worst
gives the Westerner a feeling of moral
rectitude-and taste for travel He
likes to feel that the Orient is there
waiting for him whenever he has the
time and the means to go to it. But it
is not likely that this sentiment will be
permitted to interfere with progress.
Culture, as the Bostonian knows it, is
on the road to Mandalay and the Bur-
mese town cannot escape it.

A TEST OF INFLUENCE


I TO a certain extent and within GER
tain limits the result of the great fight
| within the Republican party furnishes
an interesting test of the comparative
influence of the morning and the even
ing newspaper. We should not assume
that this holds good except within Ger
tain reasonable lines, but within those
lines it is fairly conclusive
/ The evening newspaper which
boasts largely of its circulation and in
f1uence in St Paul and in Minneapolis.
was bitterly against Dunn. No more
earnest, determined or malicious fight
was ever made upon any candidate for
office than that put up against r. c..
Dunn by the Minneapolis Journal and
| the st. Paul Dispatch. All that a
newspaper could do by the unlimited
use Of its resources, through it's cor
respondents, it's news columns and its
editorial utterances, was done to pre-
vent the nomination of the Princeton
man. Both of these papers were
equally insistent upon the nomination
Of Judge Collins, and equally anxious
to promote his candidacy by any
means within their power.
The Republican morning papers. on
their part, took up the fight against
Collins and in favor of Dunn. The
Pioneer Press was his open and earnest
advocate from the beginning: and the
Minneapolis Tribune, while less pro-
nounced in it's views. nevertheless
clearly desired his nomination, and let
its opinion be known. 1t was much
more temperate, and therefore probably
more effective in its work, but it was
lined up on the same side with it's st.
Paul contemporary
Now the time has gone by when any
newspaper or any combination Of
newspapers could either make or break
man politically. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing, in fact, to see a party win
against the united opposition of all the
newspapers in a city campaign New
ertheless, the influence exists: IT is
powerful. and in a majority Of cases it
is determinative. How that influence
is distributed in any given community
is an interesting study; valuable not
only to the politician, but to the adver-
tiser and the business man. His oues
ton is by what means he can best
reach the largest number of peonle.
The. answer furnished by this cam
paign clearly is. through the morning
papers,
The state of Minnesota was fairly
swept by Dunn outside of the counties
of Ramsey and Hennepin, and these
were claimed for him as well. Such a
part OF this outcome as is due to news
paper work, aside from the excellent
campaigning Of the country members.
such part of it as could not be credited
to any metropolitan dailies, and that
their share was very large, no intelIi-
gent man will question, belongs to the
morning newspapers of the two cities.
This is only one of a thousand proofs
which any man may collect who
wishes that, while the evening paper

the cars by very large number of

WONDERFUL WAR QUALITIES


The persons who scoffed short time
age at the notion that Europe and the
white race had anything to fear from
the awakening of the swarming peo-
pies of the East are getting new light
On the subject. They do not as yet
exactly see the bearing Of the knowI-
edge that has come with their own
awakening. but they will presently.
They are simply bewiidered by the
quality almost unknown to modern
warfare.
This quality, for which there is no
exact or comprehensive name, is a de-
termination. extending to the last unit
of an army, to die rather than be beat
en-. Of course the sentiment victory
or death" is as old as human warfare,
but it is always used with certain res
eryations. A small force will hold it's
own or even take the offensive against
one greatly superior, and make a des-
perate struggle; but there always does
come a point when it yields before it
is actually crushed out. The events of
warfare, outside Of our Indian annals
and other cases where death was actu-
ally preferable to surrender, in which
body of men has preferred to be cut
down rather than give way are COM
paratively few.
Now the extraordinary thing about
Japan is this massed determination of
the nation and the race as whole to
win or perish from the face of the
earth. 1t has marked every battle and
has thus far determined the events of
the fighting. There seems to be no
conception in the mind of any Japa-
nese, from every commanding officer
down to the lowest private, of a possi-
biiity of failure. His but to do or die,
is not poetry, but plain matter of fact
to him. The japanese do not know
when they are beaten, nor do they
ever intend to know. They are not 60
ing to be beaten. They are going to
win Or to perish utterly. This frame Of
mind makes single individual a most
formidable antagonist. When it pene-
trates the body of nation, that nation
becomes practically invincible except
by some other of greater numerical
force animated by similarly desper-
ate resolution.
1t looks as if this exaItedly heroic
attitude of Japan would bring her uIti-
mate victory. 1t certainly has given
her the advantage in almost every in
cident of the struggle up to date. Now
it would be we'll for those who have
cast their sympathies lightly to con-
slider that this is peculiarly Oriental
trait. The followers of Mahemet have
exhibited it in their fanatical cru
sades and holy wars. The tribes of
India have shown it in their internal
struggles and in the great mutiny.
Never has it been exhibited in such
perfect form, however, and never has
it taken SO complete possession of
people as in Japan. We believe it to be
a distinguishing race Characteristic.
We think that it will be found. after
the awakening, in like intensity among
the Chinese.
1t is worth considering what is likely
to be the effect upon the world of
solidifying 5oo,ooO.Oo0 people with one
idea, one aim and one purpose, and of
facing them toward the future with
the same code of national action that
sways Japan today. The quality of the
fighting in the Russo-Japanese war is
significant not only of the end of this
struggle, but of the worlds future.

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE

Il e G presents to the people
of st. Paul and Of the Northwest this
morning it's Golden Jubilee edition,
complied as labor of love to celebrate
the sfiftieth anniversary of the cor
porate existence of the city. 1t is the
rounding. out of record of fifty years
of honor: 1t gives glimpse Of the
vista down which. a few only of the
living heroes of an epoch making age
are left to look. 1t is measure and
an evidence of the greatness and pros
perity today of the city of our home
and love.
Gil b e to year that must not pass
without its due commemoration. What
ever ceremonies there may be later,
whatever an aroused civic spirit may
lind fit to mark our fiftieth milestone,
this work has been done as our share
Of the honor due to a great event. For
1t is great. The descendant of heroic
sires to whom the armor hanging on
the walls is mere waste metal will
achieve nothing worthy of them or of
himself. The country lost to pride in
its own history will make no history
for it's sons to write. Of all possible
stimulants to worthy work there are
few more effective than the memory of
noble deeds handed down to us by our
progenitors; of all inspirations there
are few more powerful than the Turing
example of splendid past.
And it is a splendid past as we'll as
a splendid present that stands ont
upon the canvas of this review. The
scene was more contracted, the in
struments ruder, the achievements less
striking to the eye. But the glories of
those early decades will not readily
fade before anything that the twentieth
century may bring. We revel in the
tales OF struggle. of the contest with
rough nature, of the builders who have
wrought and of the manhood that thew
made both great and gracious through
their labors in the founding of a state.
Necessarily it is the present that oc-
cupies the foreground But that is not
to the sagacious mind, only because DE
its superior value but because the com
pleted growth is the expression of the
potencies of the germ. We can best
realize what the event meant fifty wears
ago by realizing to what it has led.
