SWEDENss SAFETY

brikoff Is extremely significant of the
attitude Of Russia In Europe. 1t is
penetrated there by an intense ami
mostly toward Sweden. 1t praises the
Firms, although their resistance of
Russian tyranny had been most per-
sistent and most stubborn, and lays
the blame for this attitude Of theirs
upon the Swedes among them, and
upon the encouragement which these
received from their home associates
and government. Not even toward
Japan would a bitterer hatred have
been expressed in any official docu-
ment than Bobrikoff exhibited toward
Sweden.
One cannot wonder that the sympa-
thies of Europe are largely with Japan
in the present conflict, when he reflects.
as European rulers must do, what Rus
sian triumph would mean in the West,
as well as in the East. If on one side
the boundaries of the empire should be
extended to the China sea, on the other
1T would press beyond the Baltic. For
centuries Russia's covetous eye has
has been fixed upon the Scandinavian
peninsula. For years 1t has been her
fixed policy to press westward toward
one ocean as resistlessIy as eastward
toward another. The absorption of
Finland was but a single shot On the
skirmish line. Ffnland,s fate would be
that Of Sweden at the first opportunity.
For this the bear lies quietly hiber-
mating throughout the long winter Of
his discomfort.
But for the check Of rival Europe the
independence of Sweden and Norway
would not last for decade. The bar
rier which the Scandinavian peninsula
sets up between Russia and her longed-
for outlet to the North sea chafes and
irritates constantly. She coVets this
extension of her domain. Her heart is
immovably set upon doing to Sweden
what she has done to Finland, ana the
Arst general upheavaI in Europe would
find her armies doing in the Scandi-
navian peninsula what they have done
in Manchuria. This is the meaning of
Bobrikoff's report. It represents the
tone Of official Russia. The purpose
and the policy Of the empire Is to poi
son the minds of it's people against
Sweden; IS to spread through Europe
whenever possible the report of Swe-
denis hostility to Russia: Is to connect
Sweden and her people, by any false
hood necessary, with some overt act
against Russia that might serve as an
excuse for interference or reprisals.
There need be little fear for Sweden,
because she has long been on the alert.
She gives her historic foe no advan-
tage; and the rest Of Europe, however
selfish and Indifferent, would not per-
nit her to fall into the clutches of the
bear. None the less Is 1t an interesting
revelation Of Russia's policy and Rus
sia's hope to read the last words of the
man who has just yielded his life as
the price of Russia's mad tyranny In
Finland.

GRADUATED LICENSES

The recommendation OF an alder
manic committee that an extra fee of
$50 a year should be required for IL
censfng every saloon where public n1u-
steal performances are given seems to
us to be move in the right direction.
We have never been able to see why
the endeavors Of saloonkeepers to
branch out into other lines by, adding
attractions to their places could not be
regulated, and many of the evils COM
planned Of as attendant on the bust-
ness remedied, by system OF grad
uated licenses.
Saloons are now on an equal basis
as far as licenses are concerned. The
proprietor pays his fee into the public
treasury and as long as hts place Is
not disorderly it is on a par with every
other. Then begins the attempt to. Sc
cure special privileges, not unaccom-
covert assistance from the people. Thus
one man adds quartette Of singers,
another an orchestra and g. third an
orchestrion as a regular vaudeville at
tachment. One slyly or openly carries
On business all through the night, and
side doors are open on Sundays In an
swer to a popular demand. All these
men are on the same financial basis aa
he who observes the strict letter of tho
law ana simply vends commodity for
which there Is public demand. Why
cannot special privileges be specially
authorized on payment Of special taxi
It seems to US that 1t would be most
sensible to recognize facts in our local
ordinances. 1t is proved fact that the
sale of beverages on Sunday cannot be
prevented IN st. Paul or any other
large city. This Is not because the sa-
loon interest Is determined to sell them,
but because people are determined to
buy them. That being true, why not
recognize it? Why not make 1t source
Of legitimate revenue as the rest of the
traffic is? Why not have a special IL
cense for saloons that are open on Sun
day, making 1t equal to the ordinary
license fee, and then close every saloon
that did not pay it? Why not have
special license for every saloon desir-
ing to keep open after midnight, and
then close all that did not pay it? Why
not have special license, as proposed,
for saloons giving musical perform
ances and really attempting to make
themselves places Of public entertain
ment, and forbid all such performances
where the extra fee Is not paid?
We believe that this Is the best
method where there is an undoubted
public demand for something which is,
If unrelfeved, certain to b&one an
abuse. Do not attempt an impossible
prohibition, but make people pay for
the privileges they enjoy. Such public
demand as there Is for what is fur
nfshed will then be gratffed. and 1t
win be quite possible to shut all un-
authorized persons out Of the business.
We have long been convinced that q
series Of graduated license fees. in adj
dition to the sum prescribed by law
and as compensation for certain special
privileges. much desired and not easily
denied to the entire body OF the trade,
would be as much a gain to the public
morally as it would be to the city's
treasury financially.

CROPS AND BUSINESS

Whatever may be the business con-
ditions of the country at large, the peo-
pie of the Northwest have every rea-
son to congratulate themselves upon
their outlook. Such menace as con-
fronts the East does not touch us here.
The policy Of the Republican party has
forced the United States upon a plat
form of unreasonably high prices, from
change TO lower prices, which is al
ways distressing, must be borne by the
people themselves. They must take the
bad with the good. But If this has an
unfavorable effect upon general busi-
ness. it is clear that the Northwest will
not be affected.
We are. happily, measurably fnde-
pendent Of business fluctuations while
nature is kind. It is the happy fortune
Of an agricultural community, although
it misses the sudden rise to great for
tune that awaits the elect elsewhere,
to be little afraid Of the reverses Of the
street. AS long as the sefI produces
freely, its people will prosper. A good
crop Is to It what overf1owing orders
are to manufacturing or mercantile
concerns.
Now the report from every section
OF the Northwest is that the crop out
look In this part Of the country was
never better. From every line of rail-
road traversing Minnesota and the two
Dakotas and from every station comes
the same comforting news. The sea-
son has been ideal for the promotion Of
crops. A cool, wet spring is the best
guarantee Of prosperity to the farmer
of the Northwest. He needs a soil so
saturated with moisture that even
should drought ensue there will be
an unfafling reservoir In the lower
strata, from which plant life may drink
He needs cool days and nights, with
only just enough warmth to encourage
termination, to enable the plant to get
its lustiest growth while young. Once
well started, and deeply rooted and
sturdily begun, IL can withstand, If need
be. the later shock of unfavorable con-
ditiens.
Now this is just what we have had.
Ever since winter passed the condi-
tfons have been the most favorable
possible. The slight delay in seeding,
due to the lateness Of the spring, was
of no account as compared with it's at
tendant benefits. Travellers from every
county in the Northwest report that
never was there a growth so luxurious
and so promising as today. The crops
are already under way, and If their
promise is realized we shall have such
harvest as has never yet been gar
nered. There are, of course, two or
three critical points to be passed, and
disappointment may still lurk in the
future. But for the present we have
every reason to expect such an access
of wealth to the Northwest this season
from its agricultural products as will
cram every barn and granary. fill all
the markets to overfowing, bring hun
dreds Of millions Of dollars to our
farmers and merchants and manufac-
turers and keep the tide of prosperity
at the full among us, even should there
be slackening in less favored regions.
For US Of the Northwest the crop and
business outlook are more than cheer
ing.

Cotton in Wall Street

There has been very little activity in
Wall street of late. almost no chance
for the professional spectators to
make or lose money in stocks and
bonds, and in a sort of desperation
they seem to have turned to the cot
ton market where the uncertainties
are sufficient to give at least some play
to conflicting opinions. That is the
main reason, apparently, why business
on the Cotton Exchange has become
violently disturbed again; and the fact
that the bear side in the new opera
tiOns has proved the stronger is not
of convincing significance.-Prov
