QUEER PLACE FOR A oRAvEsroNE

Berlin has probably one Of the most pc
cuiiar ornaments for reading room that
has ever been seen in similar position
In civilized country. This is a grave
stone which stands, large and massive. in
one corner of a small room It is not only
a gravestone. but is in its legitimate posi-
ton at the head of a grave. The history
of it's location in the house is Interesting
It was not put UP in the house. but the
house was built around the stone. IT'S
original position was in the burial grounds
in the churchyard of ST. Hedwig's.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Sunday Saloon.
To the Editor of The journal.

10 tne Eo1tor OF Inc journal.
[ was very much surprised to see the
statement of Chief Conroy in your issue
of July 20 in reply to the Epworthian
committee that he would close the saloons
when public sentiment demanded it, At
the same time he strongly intimated that
the churches of Minneapolis were more or
less In league with the Sunday saloons
and dives" many of the owners Of which
We're members in good and regular stand
ing IN the leading churches Of the city.
In the first place, I am inclined to
think that the truth of this statement
needs verifying; and in the second place,
II II were true it should not make a.
particle OF difference to an officer who
had taken a solemn oath to enforce all
laws and ordinances upon the statute
DOCKS of state and municipality. It is
tne business OF the officer of the law
10 enforce all law without fear or favor.
| am quite sure that of the 60. 600 and
more adult church members of this CITY
an overwhelming majority are in favor of

The dismissal of Lord Dundonald from
command of the Canadian militia has
become political issue On the h i, other side
Of the line. The conseryattyes are max
ing a martyr Of Dundsaald, and a martyr
is a good deal like a hero. Dundonald,
by reason Of his martyrdom, has suddenly
vaulted into great popularity, and the
conservatives are raising the loyalty cry
under his leadership SO yociferously that
there is danger to Laurier's liberal gov

house in Ottawa, and it is said that he
is coming back to accept a nomination

against the government candidate. 1t

While American books are coming into

that the prejudice against them has not

wrote to the London Chronicle that when
he brought out an American book he took

Atlantic origin. Otherwise its circulation
would be diminished by half. American

Care Of the States Wards.

Labor Commissioner O'Donnell has
done a public service in exposing the
lack Of fire protection at several state
institutions. The board Of control
should lose no time in repairing, the
defective equipment of the state in
sututions in this particular. We
have had enough fire horrors in this
country lately to leave no excuses for
their repetition so far as wise and
well-chosen precautions can protect
us from them.
One of the most serious things re-
ported by the labor commissioners is
the practice of locking up the girls
in the Red Wing training school in
their rooms, the attendants carrying
the keys with them and sleeping in
another building. Chat state of
things ought not to be allowed to ex-
list for another night. It is a. cold
blooded piece Of Indifference to the
welfare of the girls which reflects UNI
favorably on the management.
What provisions are made, if Mr..
O'Donnell is correct, for sudden and
severe illness among these locked-up
girls, to say nothing Of their extreme
helplessness in the case OF fire? The
facts are 50 suggestive Of possibili-
ties of disaster as to make comment
quite unnecessary.

It Is rtmored that Governor Van SAINT will not

1t Is hard to see how he could. There is

campaign of, two years ago. On this point
the Albert Lea Times says:
Mr.. Dunn declined to take part in the repub-
lean state campaign two years ago and openly
criticized the policies Of the republican state adj
lninistration. This year he won his nomination
by means OF deliberate organized bolt in one
entire congressional district and by the aid and
backing OF q democratic railway capitalist and
democratic politicians and ward heelers. What
claims can Mr.. Dunn lay to the votes of republic
cans and honest patriotic citizens interested only

"A Benevolent Desplotism.

It was practically decided at meeting
81 several leading politicians Of North
Dakota at the Merchants hotel yesterday
TO raise the taxable valuation Of the 500
railroad In that statesappr $780,
ooo.-P1oneer Press news item.
The leading politicians may be
right, but to an outsider 1t looks as
tho they were arrogatirg considera-.
pie authority to themselves Have
the citizens Of North Dakota turned
over the functions Of government to
several leading politicians
The state board Of equalization
meets today in Bismarck, and one Of
It's duties is to fix the taxable valua-
ton Of the different railroads on a
mileage basis. TO save them the
trouble of celebrating, Messrs. La
Mdoure, Mckenzie. seet al, met Sunday
in a room at the Merchants hotel,
known as North Dakota headquar-
ters,' and decided to raise the 500
$25O,O00. It only remains for the
board to carry out this program.
T he our al Is not fighting
the battles Of the 500, and it may be
perfectly fair to give that road the
same mileage value In North Dakota
as the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific. However, the argument
advanced by the leading politicians"
is not convincing. According to the
Pioneer, Press, they argue that in-
asmuch as the tax Is figured on the
valuation per mile, not on the gross
earnings, the only fair way is to
figure each road at1the same rate per
mile. Otherwise the state board
would have to take an inventory Of
the property of the road, including the
roadbed, rolling stock, depots and SO
forth, which would be big undertake
ing"
In other words, the. little meeting
at st. Paul has decided to save the
board trouble. The 500 may not be
worth as much per mile, but it is
easier to lump them all together.
Considering the circumstances of
the st. Paul conference, it's location
and its personnel, a strong presump-
ton is raised that the 500 is being
made to pay the penalty for it's
failure to mix in; North Dakota poll
tics.
North Dakota, people. are used to
having II cir state tic kets selected by
the leading politicians va t their lit
tie gatherings in st. Paul, but 1t is
something new for them to have the
action of state board prejudged at
such a par1or caucus. AS long as it
is only a railroad that is concerned,
the people are not likely to make any
protest, but they. must admit that sus-
ptcion is justified.
We haven't come to that sort Of
thing in Minnesota, but who knows
how soon me may? Since the recent
state convention, weSseem to be. head
ed that way. g.

LIBRARY FOR HAVRE.

In accordance with the recommen-
dations for the city's improvement
made by Mayor Newman on assum-
ing the Office of mayor of the city last
spring, some of which have already
been carried out, the public library
is one that is engaging his attention
at present. A letter from the mayor
to Mr.. Carnegie to ascertain what as
sistance could be secured from that
quarter, elected the reply that Mr..
Carnegie and his private secretary
were in Europe, but on their return
this fall the matter would be taken
up and the mayor communicated
with.
This is one of the main sources the
mayor looks forward to in realizing
this important improvement for the
city. However, Mayor Newman is in
touch with parties from whom he is
promised liberal assistance. A Ii
brary board, as we'll as library fund,
will be created within a few days by
the city council, and the matter push
ed until the library for Havre is as
sured.
