The council should listen to the protest
from the Bar association against thea loop
planned by the street railway company
and the committee, of the council. There
is likely to be serious mistake made
if this loop proposition goes thru to-
night. 1t seems to be quite possible to
plan loop that will not SO. seriously
threaten the public interest while at the
same time providing practically. as good
service as has been provided for under
the proposed plan. Let's get this thing
right before there is anything done. The
situation demands relief, but it Is not so
urgent that it must be solved tonight.
The lawyers may have been q little slow
in taking action, but they present con-
siderations that cannot be ignored. The
| interests they represent are not so much
their own individually or those of their
association as Of the general public.

Friday Evening,

Christmas season as one in which we
mechanically spend 50 much money for
others and devote the rest Of the year
to getting it back. The two, or three
weeks of giving and thinking about Civ
ing at this time leavens the whole year.
The man who overcomes his acquisitive-
ness and helps solve the problem Of dis
tributing wealth for fortnight or so
will be the more generous and thought
full thruout the year. The Christmas
season may be regarded as a time set
apart for a special cultivation Of kind
ness and sympathy and unselfshness.
The field is plowed during these weeks,
but the effects are visible thruout the
year.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS WORK
President Salisbury Outlines Plan at
| Directors' Annual Dinner.

The establishment Of an immigra..
tion office in Minneapolis was one OF
the suggestions made last nlgnt at tIe
lie affairs committees of the CONNER
cial club.
President F. R. Salisbury, in his ad,
dress outlining the club s work, sno"ea 81
the advantages of such an ottce TO
the state. He said the club would not
cease it's endeavors to have the Fort
Smelling street:ear line e; built built ;v woHla tha
granting of an electric-Eght franchise
BY the council, and that it shall be
contract beneficial to the ratepayers
Of Minneapolis; would ask for the I'M IN

the ety limits, as safeguaaEia is as we

slides with early-day views of Mime
apolis, as lesson in the city's growth.

Senatorial Politics.

The senatorial campaign is beginning
to be interesting.
A Ramsey county member yesterday
declared that he had arrived at the
conclusion that Senator Clapp's posi-
tion on the railroad question would not
Justify his support, and he, therefore,
wished it understood that hereafter ne
was not for Senator Clapp.
If was a break from the senator's
support in the Ramsey county delega-
ton, which was supposed to be rather
threatening, and the opposition to Clapp
was prepared to make the most OF it.
Within few hours the counterplay
appeared from another member OF the
St. Paul delegation, who declared that
he had been offered $1,000 if he would
1eav. Clapp. 1t ism It indicated that he
was to support any other candidate, or
that the offer was made in the interest
of any other candidate, but simply that
he was to come out against Clapp.
This would have been pretty nearly
as good a story as the first it the man
who claimed to have received the oHef
had been willing to state who made IL.
This he declines to do. AS a natural
result, there is good deal Of question
as to whether he ever received 1T. In
deed, there is very strong Suspicion
that this story is told to bring the de-
serter from Clapp into suspicion, and
for no other reason. And tins view OF
the matter is likely to prevail until the
second actor in the play is willing to
state from whom he received his tender
of $1,000. e.1-@,. < '~as
There is nothing in this view of the
matter, however, to prevent the grand
Jury Of Ramsey county from taking
up the matter, calling the man who
claims to have received the offer OF
$1,000 before them and compelling him
to name the person who offered the
bribe. That would certainly seem tC
be the proper and natural course te
pursue. The grand jury has no right
to assume that this is only bluff
altho that may be all there is to it
g. 1t is their business to call the bluff II
it is one, and if it ism It, to catch the
bribegiver. Proceedings Of that kind
instituted right now, might help goo(
deal in preventing the approaching
senatorial campaign from assuming
character which would be a source O.
embarrassment and regret to all homes
men.

THE MAGAZINES

Photographing Leaping Flsh.-The most
remarkable set Of fish photographs ever
published-photograph that were taken
in an absolutely unique way under pic
turesque ircumstances-appear In Coun-
try Life in America for January. For
fourteen years Julian A. Dimock has been
watching the great leaping tarpon OF tlor-
Ida in it's marvellous jumps into the air
at the prick Of the anglers hook. He told
his experiences to the editors OF Country
Life in America, who told him to photo
graph the leaps If it took six months. 1t
did. The magazine says: ..E.
To achieve results Mr.. Dimock put up at a lit
tie old hotel, in Golfers Bay, Florida, set his
camera shutter at speed OF one-hve-hundredth
of second. and then. with his silent guide,
lived on the water He hoated IN the water
three flags red white and blue. The red flag,
at the end Of twenty-five feet Of slim tarpon line;
the blue flag registered fifty played-out feet,
and the white flag terminated 100 feet When
the tarpon was struck and the three-inch hook
had settled we'll into the gristle or his mouth,
the guide kept him as near the boat as he dared
with the tiny line (only one thirty second OF
an inch thick). Then the fish would begin to
leap out Of the water--eight feet for the first
leap, and twenty or thirty leaps-and the red
flag would dip in and out. Mr.. Dlmock would
, rapidly fix his focus for distance less than
twenty-five feet and snap the fish in the air,
with his shutter tuned to speed Of half thou
sandth OF a second. Often enough, the fish would
splash water into his eyes while he was press
ing his button; time and again the fish snapped
the line before the camera could be aimed, and
for weeks the Florida weather misbehaved. But
finally the giant tarpon leaped only eighteen feet
away, actinic air prevailed and the fish record
/ ed themselves on the sensitive plate In way
1 that will be valuable to lovers OF sport and ma

An Impending Great Battle.

The time is rapidly approaching when
the world will hear of another great
naval battle, the greatest probably that
has been fought in the days Of the
modern battleship. Admiral Rojest-
vensky's powerful fleet is now well on
it's way to the east, one division being
in the Indian ocean, and the other Just
rounding the Cape Of Good Hope. Dis
patches from the far east assert that the
Japanese have already dispatched
picked fleet to meet the Russians.
The chances are that the two fleets
will meet while the Russians are far dis
tant from their objective, the port of
Vladivostok With no hope of ever
reaching port except by means OF an
overwhelming victory, the Russians will
doubtless fight to the last. When the
two fleets meet, there will be no retreat
to Port Arthur this time. The Rus
sians must stake all ON fierce fight for
victory.
The Japanese will fight even more des-
perately than heretofore, because upon
their ability to destroy Roiestven-
sky's fleet depends in large measure the
future of the war. If the Russians
should be victorious, the war would be
as good as over when the last Japanese
ship went down, for sea power, tho not
| indispensable to Russian success in this
war, is absolutely so to the Japanese.
Judged by the standard of seafghting
ability shown up to date by the Russians
and the Japanese, it is reasonable to
conclude that the latter will easily win
, the great sea fight. Yet a little piece
of good luck for the Russians may easi'
ly offset the superior seamanship Of the
Japanese. A single torpedo luckily
aimed may dispose Of battleship, and
with one or two battleships lost early in
the fight, the Japanese might find them
selves the losers in the naval battle that
will decide the outcome Of the war.
The whole world will await with in
tense interest the outcome Of battle
which will have a tremendous influence
upon the trend of civilization in the
orient and, which, if unfavorable to the
Russians may presage the overthrow Of
autocracy at st. Petersburg.
