The appointment Of Rev. John e. Dali
lam to the only vacancy In the rank Of
chaplain in the army, and the tender Of
the position to him without solicitation on
his part, is a we'll deserved recognition Of
merit. When the Thirteenth Minnesota
was organized, Mr.. Dallam desired to be
chaplain Of that regiment. It, turned out,
however, that another man was chosen.
This did not discourage Mr.. Dallam, how
ever in his desire to serve his state and
his country, and he promptly enlisted as
az private and served. until the regiment
was mustered out. No in the Span
ish-Arnerican war enlisted from Minnesota
was held in higher esteem by his comrades
in arms than John Dallam. Taking his
place with the men in the ranks, he I'M
proved his opportunity to exert a whole
some influence among them, and this he
did by example and sympathy rath-
er than by precept and exhortation. At
the same time his counsel was always re-
ceived In good spirit. and the value Of
his services was not measured by the
regular duties Of the soldier. The experience
he has had makes him much better quail
fed for the position to which he has been
appointed, and the choice is one which
will be approved by the men to whom
he may be called to administer In the
capacity of chaplain. The office is diff
cult one to fill but Mr.. Dallam will
fill it.

But there will still be much to be

NEWS OF THE BOOK WORLD
Mrs. aRancroft's Letters from England to
Her Friends at Home-swInburne's
Poem In Harper's Monthly for June
A Memorial Day Poem

Among the books The Uneasy Chair
mas IN its book cellar waiting to be
brought out and mentioned in this column
is Richard LIE Gallienne's How to Get
the Most Out of a Book" The Chair took
a glimpse between the covers the other
day, but has not absorbed its contents
yet. It has been thinking, however, Of
the general theme Of the book and has
come to two conclusions of its own: The
way to get the most out of some books
is not to look In 'em. The way to get
the most out Of others is to give yourself
UP to them, while you read in the fullest
degree. possible
This latter rule will apply to little
volume, Letters from England, written by
Mrs. George Bancroft while her husband
was minister to England. Unless one
puts himself in Mrs. Bancroft's place as
the writer Of the letters, far as he can,
ne 1s likely to regard the letters as rather
superficial. Once he catches the spirit of
them by the other method he will find
them very interesting reading. They were
not written for publication, but simply to
keep the writer's friends at home in
formed Of her life in England, and she
told those things she thought they would
be most interested in knowing. She writes
thus Of the opening of parliament, which
she attended:
But the trumpets sound! The queen ap-
proaches! The trumpet continues, and first en-
ter at a side door close at my elbow the college
of heralds, slowly, two and two; then the great
officers of the household; then the lord chancel-
LOT, bearing the purse, seal, speech OF the queen
with the mace bearers before him. Then Lord
Lansdowne with the crown, the Earl Of Zetland
with the cap Of maintenance, and the Duke OF
Wellington with the sword Of state. Then
Prince Albert, leading the queen, followed by the
Duchess of Sutherland, mistress of the robes
and the Marchioness of Douro, daughter-in-law
OF the Duke of wellington, who is one of the
ladies' in waiting. The queen and prince sit
down, while everybody else remains standing
The queen then says in a voice most clear and
sweet: My lords'' rolling the r, ''be seated
Altogether Mrs. Bancroft's description Of
the opening reminds one OF scene
from drama. 1t is just that, but q scene
from a much more important drama thar
is put on the stage, a scene from the
drama of history. It is almost amazing
how many distinguished names one dis.

War and the Aftermath.

While thruout our land Memorial
day presents q peaceful scene, on the
other side Of the earth the veritable
"helI' Of war is seen and heard. Peo-
pie who have wanted to read Of real
fighting in the farther East ought to
be satisfied with the awful carnage
accompanying the fierce, unfaltering
assault by the Japs upon the strong,
reputed impregnable works of the
Russians at Kin chau, Nan-shan hill,
and the southern shore Of Taaienwan
bay, while a few miles further on,
the preparations are in progress for
the further display Of an energized
"helP' at Port Arthur.
On this side of the world where we
are paying tribute to the patriotism
Of the heroic dead. who one day, years
agone, fell, mortally hit, beneath the
sulphurous canopy upon the blood
soaked earth, there would seem to be
pervasive peace. In far Manchuria
red. relentless war is on.
The contrast Is impressive, and yet
the hell Of war, with it's sacrif1cial
pyres, brings the one in close relation
to the other. Here wars scourges are
keenly felt in our private and national
griefs even while we rejoice in the
fruitage Of heroism and se1f-sacrifce
which kept our country from disin-
tegratiOn. n .
We pray, for peace and rightly so
pray, but we cannot overlook the great
benefits the world has ever received
thru the agency of bloody war. The
Christian scripture assures us. that it
is only thru much tribulation that
they who are accounted worthy can
enter the kingdom of heaven. It took
more than hundred years Of fierce
warfare to acquire the groundwork
of religious liberation in northern Eu-
rope, as against the bigotry and In
tolerance of medieval tyranny, which
undertook to suppress the growing ex-
pansion of human intellect and it's
demand for liberty Of COINCIDENCE and
liberty of thinking. The Teutonic
race, in all it's branches, acquired it's
large possession Of civil and religious
liberty by wars Of the strenuous kind.
Our own liberties were won at the
point Of the sword and by wading
thru blood
Campbell asks in one Of his poems:
"Sha1l Wars polluted banner ne'er be
furled?" and in simple honesty, 1t
must be answered mop It is useless
to think, it will, until the dawn of the
millenial period The sword will
never go to sleep while questions of
lawful human rights and unrighted
wrongs remain to be settled; as long
as tyrants, by whatever name they
call themselves, wantonly crush and
obstruct the liberties of men; as long
as man is conscious that he has a
soul and has the daring to Insist upon
his freedom Of thought and action.

No Issue at All.

The Mortified News, with its accus-
toned obliquity of vision, says: '"The
Minneapolis Journal disapproves
of Mr.. Dunn's policy Of compell-
ing the public service and other
gross earnings corporations to pay a
tax on their gross earnings"
The Jour n a has not taken issue
with Mr.. Dunn on this proposition, ex-
cept to show that his policy was one
very much favored by these corpora
tons themselves, and that his plan
would bring less money than the pres
ent assessments. T h u n a did
not go any farther than to demon
strate that Mr.. Dunn did not know
what he was talking about.
By the way, Mr.. Dunn says now that
in proposing a five or six per cent rate
he did not mean to make that a limit.
That Is for the legislature to deter
mine, and it may make the rate ten
per cent If necessary. That sounds very
we'll, but again Mr.. Dunn needs check
ing up with the facts. Under the con-
stitution as 1t stands we cannot have
law taxing one kind of railway COM
pany at a higher per cent on its gross
earnings than another.
Mr.. Dunn should get out and advo-
cate an amendment to the constitu-
ton. Probably he will, now that T h e
ourna has called his attention to
| 1t.
| 1t seems to be very finsy and
poorly constructed platform, on which
Mr.. Dunn has mounted to- escape his
merger and timber stumpage record.
