Mr.. Kennedy is native of Scotland,
and came to this country in the fall
Of '9S, taking the job of driving a.
wagon at s4.00 week in Chicago.
In about a month he secured a posi-
ton with Jevne & Co., the Chicago
grocers. He began at the bottom and
within a year was one of their highest
priced employees, their tea and coffee
buyer and their advertising man.
He was next offered a position with
the Bennett company of Omaha,
where he has been for nearly three
years, or since the building of the big
Bennett store, the largest department
store in the trans-Missiouri country.
The Bennetts began business in a
t2x4 grocery, without a wagon, in 1878.
and today have payroll that includes
over six hundred names. They are
vigorous, persistent, liberal and de-
termined advertisers. Mr.. Kennedy
succeeds in making Benefits adver-
tising every whit as interesting as the
news of the day. The firm stands
ready to deliver the goods and do
just as they advertise; this, however,
has been the policy of the Bennett
people since 1878. When Mr.. Ken

The Mercies of the Gear.

Nicholas, czar and autocrat of all
the Russias, car of Poland, grand duke
of Finland, ETC., has been graciously
moved to grant to his dear people GER
tain amnesties and reforms sffor the
greater enjoyment Of their daily
lives.'
The civilized world will join with
Russia in thanks for these evidences
of imperial unbending. However, the
permanent reforms promised are
few, the most important being the
abolition Of corporal punishment in the
rural districts, where the knout is still
the usual corrective.
In the main the imperial manifesto
seems to be a righting of past wrongs
in an effort to soften the resentment
felt by the Films, the Jews and the
oppressed classes in general. It is no
guarantee that injustice and excessive
punishment will not be repeated. It
is simply wipinge out old scores and
starting out with a asean sheet.
Apparently the Russian people have
the baby Alexis to thank for it all.
At least, this is the tone of the proc
lamation. The broadcast distribution
of favors is no doubt made by sover-
eign full of regard for his people g
welfare and happiness, but the occa-
sion of it indicates desire to win divine
and human favor for the tiny grand
duke, come into the world on such
troublous times.
The proclamation has a most oriental
flavor. The man of absolute power is
moved to right some injustices of the
past, because the Almighty has been
pleased to grant him an heir to the
throne Then we must assume that if
i'll fortune had brought another daugh-
ter, the injustices would have gone on.
Why have they continued until now
If the punishments were unjust, why
were they inficted9 The whole pro-
ceeding is abhorrent to the Anglo
Saxon idea of justice and equality
before the law.
There are reasons Of state, however
for all such important steps. There
is good ground for believing that the
disaster to the Russian arms, and the
internal disturbances that threat
en-, have really had more to do with
| the acts Of imperial grace than the
czar g JOY over an heir. Autocrat al
he is, the great white car is bound
about by chains of bureaucracy. His
every move is subject to the approval
Of these ministers, and their course is
dictated solely by policy. They car
see the urgent need Of greater patriot
ism, and especially for some improves
ment of the situation in Finland, when
the whole energies Of the empire are
, needed in Manchuria. The removal OF
Won Plehve, and the political judg
ment Of the remaining ministers, may
be thanked for the latest reforms
even tho the imperial christening IL
made the happy occasion.

Opening Day at the State Fair.

Minnesota has by far the greatest
of the state fairs Of this country. Or
ganized under exceptionally favor
able legislation, located at the center
of population, managed inteligently
and solely for the purpose of develop
ing the industries Of the state, the fair
has grown from position among the
smaller agricultural shows Of the coun-
try to be not only first but so far
ahead of all others as to leave the
second in rank hopelessly behind. Last
year the attendance at the Illinois
state fair was less than half that Of
the Minnesota show. Illinois was for
merly the leader, but has been second
for several years.
While all credit is due to the wise
management Of the Minnesota state
fair, its success would not have been
attained without the hearty and en-
thuslastic support which has been given
by the people of the state Recogniz.
ing the institution as one worthy of
promotion the people have joined to
work for the fair-to make grand ex-
hibits, to attend by thousands and by
voice and pen to push on the good
work. This year the fair promises to
be even better than it's successful pred
ecessors.
A special point is made of having
the fair in perfect order at 8 am. on
Monday the opening day, and of pro-
viding extra attractions for this oc-
casion. For next Monday there are
announced, an opening address by
United States Senator Knute Nelson,
one of the most popular men in the
state and speaker of high reputation;
special double concert by the Jour
nal Newsboys' Band and the Ninety
first Highlander Regimental Band of
Hamilton, Ontario; the opening Of The
new Hpike" by Chief Falmouth, one
of Minnesota g "tirst citizens,'' and
an unusually complete amusement pro-
gram, including the fastest race Of fail
week.
Many people have the habit of re
naming away from the fair unit
toward the middle of the week. But
it would seem reasonable proposition
that with complete exhibits guaranteed
and extra events Of interest announced
for opening day, it will be quite the
best day in which to visit the fair.
