pyaRYBopY caN.r BE F1Rsr.

An American artist in exile, writing from Monte
Carlo to the Paris Herald satiricaly and petulanty
declines q SILVER medal which was awarded to him
by the international jury Of awards for one of HI.
paintings at the St Louis Universal Exposition
Using Whistler sentence, he says PLEASE accept
my secoud-caass thanks for your second>class con-
phment"
The attiss, Mr.. F. A. Bridgman, declares that he
already has received too many silver medals; "ard
moreover. having received hrstclass diplomas and
silver and gold medals at various Continental ex.
hibitions. besides the Legion Of Honor and the Or
der Of 81. Michael, being hors concours ETC., feel
that under the dag Of my own country deserve less
shallow rvcognfuon." In brief, his reason for de-
cHnins .'second-class compliment in the United
States seems to be that he is frst-class man
abroad. -
Much regret is felt the sentleman's decision.
He is likely to believe henceforth that there are no
real artists in the United States that there were no
works OF art in the art exhibition, that the jury
knew nothing or art and that there is NO appreca-
tion In the United States for rst-ciass artist he
is even likely to lose his regard for silver medal
All Of these beliefs. and more. are among the pos.
sibe consequences Of the refusal OF silver medal
at an extraordinary American exhibition
Mr. Brdgmans course is Of no particular in
terest to anyone except himself unless other artists
who participated IN the exhibition and won awaris
may think that he has offended them. He appears
to have given way to chasrn that is all; to have
formed erroneous ideaB about American exhibitions
Jurors do not like to award 4 silver medal to ar
artist who has won gold medals and too many silver
medals; but they were not Judging the man, all o
his work. or being guided by other awards or for
cign 5uries. but were Judging the pictures on ex

ail Of the art exhibits exceeding u,00O and ther,

taking the silver award to heart.
His act suggests, however. several ideas abou

Cant Overcome Geography.

The great difficulty Of trying to
neutralize the influences of physical
geography by artificial means Is well
illustrated by the decision of the
Canadian Pacific and Canadian North
ern railways to reduce their freight
rates on goods imported into western
Canada by way Of the twin city gate
way. The roads in question have tried
hard to divert all shipments from the
east to their own thru lines or lake
connections. Their idea has doubtless
been to help the manufacturers of
eastern Canada to hold the western
market, as we'll as to benefit them
selves by theI long haul. But so in
sistent has been THE demand for bet
ter rates via Minneapolis and SO much
has the progress Of buildings and
other improvements been retarded by
the discrimination against the Ameri-
can routes that the Canadian roads
have been led to make very consider
able concessions to the American
gateway. The rates on some COM
modities have been reduced as much
as 40 per cent.

The independence of the Cana
dians.

Our friends, the Canadians, are
daily feeling more and more like a ma
ton. While they are claiming all
Hudson's bay as Canadian lake and
are making American whalers there
pay duties, they are treating the
mother country with quite as much
brusqueness. It is only a little while
since Lord Dundonald was dubbed
foreigner" and expelled from his
office of commander-in-chief of the
Canadian militia without SO much as
a formal by-your-leave to the British
government. Now comes the London
Times with a report from its special
correspondent at st. Louis that en-
phasizes the fact that. the Canadians
dislike to think of themselves as
colonials. Says the correspondent:
Both India and Ceylon have put them
selves to some extent under the tutelage OF
the mother country and its commissioner.
{ Canada, which has an attractive building
in the neighborhood Of both of them, is
apparently treating itself as If it were a
foreign country. 1t has formed no official
relations whatever with the British com
missioner. or with other colonies. -
That Is a little thing. but it is sig

nificant. Canada put on her joyous
raimentea and goes to the worlds fair
and has nothing to do with the rest
,of the British family. Not that the
Canadian commissioner or the Ca
madam government mean any offense
to the old country, but simply that
both have consciousness of inde-
pendence that Is lacking in other Brit
ish colonies. Canada exhibits at the
worlds fair, not as a part of the Brit
ish empire, but ais Canada. She may
love the empire and be proud of 1t.
but she Is far prouder of her own
achievements and is not lacking in
selflove.
This spirit Of independence and ma
tionality has so far permeated the
younger generation in Canada that
nothing but the proximity Of the
United States stands between Canada
and absolute independence. Canada
Is full Of ambitious men who would
like to be at the head of a nation.
They have the substance Of powers
now, but they want the feathers as
well. But they still fear that the
severing Of the British connection
would mean early absorption by the
United States. Naturally, all the am
billions that center at Ottawa are
more opposed to union with the
United States than they are to the
present British connection. Where
now there Is a chance for several
hundred Canadians to attain power
and distinction thru the Ottawa gov
eminent, there would be similar OPP
portunities for only mere handful
at washington.

WOULD END THE
HAIR. SPLITTING
COMMERCIAL CLUB PROPOSES A
FRIENDLY LAWSUIT.
Dual Custody of Court House and City
Hall Regarded With Disfayor-Jan-
itors Sweep Half Way, but Draw
Full Distance Pay-Econony the
Basis of Action.

The public affairs committee Of the
Commercial club will make an imme-
diate test of the new law vesting the
management of the city hall and court
house in a joint commission. The
move is in the interest Of economy.
Possibly the committee has taken
heart because of the affirmation of the
armory bond issue law, the disputed
poin of which is very similar to that
of the court house commission law,
and the decision of Judge Elliott up
holding the validity of the salaries law
last week. s. There lis well-dehned
suspicion that politics Is the real rea-
son for the councils refusal to recog-
nize the new law and the county COM
missions passive approval Of the coun-
ellis idea that the new law Is special
legislation. This attitude Is based on
the fact that the law mentions Hem
nepin county specifically.
The dual administration of the court
house building has long attracted the
attention Of business men and MEM
bers Of the Commercial club. The
court house is under one management
and the city hall under another. The
board Of county. commissioners has
charge of one-half the building and
the council the other. There are two
custodians, two sets Of janitors and
two everything else. 1t is feared that
ing plants will become necessary, two
sets of engineers, two gangs of help
ers, and SO on without end.
A very fine division line exists, In
visible to the casual observer, to whom
/ the big building covering a block
seems one. The city janitors sweep to
the invisible line and the court house
janitors do the same for their side.
The club would have these fine dis
tinctions removed and one set Of men,
under the direction of single COM
mission, manage the whole structure.
Just as soon as papers can be pre-
pared and filed, the friendly litigation
will begin. A decision is desired be-
fore the board Of tax levy meets, SO
that it can know under which system
the building Is to be operated. It
will be RENE mbered that the new law
provides for a court house and city
hall commission consisting OF the
county auditor and the chairman of
the county board, the mayor and the
city treasurer.

General Andrews makes suggestion OF
lands A great drawback to the sale and
settlement Of land in the extreme north
ern part of the state is the lack of even
fair roads. In General Andrews opinion,
100000 spent each year for the next five
years in building substantial roads would
be repaid directly by the added value to
state land, to say nothing of the general
benefit to the tributary country. It would
seem just as legitimate to develop new
land by means Of roads as by drainage
bitches. Is

! The announcement that there are to be
no western democratic campaign head
quarters doesn't comport very well with
the claim that the west has anywhere
from ten to dozen states which Judge
Parker IS more likely to carry than Presi-
dent Roosevelt. This Is another case
where actions speak louder than words.
AS matter of fact, the only close state
west OF the Alleghenies seems to be In
diana, and in the end even Indiana may
not be close. Its negro vote has usually
swung in from one party to the other,
and the democrats are trying their best to
give all that vote to the republicans.

Effect of Defeat on Democracy

The conservative democracy of the
country Is onatrial In this campaign,
and the outcome, whether Judge Par
ker iS elected or defeated. will do
much to determine the policy of the
party In 1908-whether it Is to return
to radicalism or remain conservative.
The gold democracy is to have an i'm
portant part in the making of this de-
cision. For ten years the party has
been divided and it has been easy for
the minority faction to ascribe con-
tinuation Of party disaster to the
ascendency Of the majority. During
all these years the conservative ele-
ment, in the minority, has been claim
Ing, with Mr.. Cleveland, that success
would Immediately follow the aban-
donment Of radicalism and return to
the policy with which he twice led the
way to victory. ia, ,,aqs..,ec ~ +.
The nomination Of Judge Parker
marks the readoption Of the old Cleve-
land idea, and this has been made pos
sible because the south, which holds
the balance of demo cratic power, de-
cided that it was a mistake to fol-
low the banner Of Bryan into the
camp Of populism. So the party is
once more "safe and sane" Whether
1t is to remain so depends upon the
result Of the election this year. If
Judge Parker Is disastrously beaten,
there will undoubtedly be another
struggle between the radicals and the
conservatives for party control. and it
will come to a head in 1908. If, on
the other hand; Judge Parker should
be elected, or failing that, should poll
O vote indicating that the party is
satisfied with the control of the con-
servattve wing, the radicals will be
down and out. This years campaign,
therefore, will probably have much to
do with determining future democratic
policy. That is probably one reason
why Bryan has decided to support the
ticket. It is said to be his opinion that
Judge Parker will be disastrously de-
feated, and on that defeat he hopes to
rebuild the fortunes Of himself and
his followers. ss
Those who hail the action Of the
ST. Louis convention as an evidence of
the absolute return of the democracy
to sanity may have occasion to revise
their opinion.
