"A painfully Inadequate performance
of Henry v. Esmonds delightful com
edy,. When We Were Twenty one
was given at the Metropolitan last
night. Only one. member of the COM
pany can be honestly commended, to-
wit, Joseph Totten, who contributed a
spirited and spontaneous portrayal of
the Imp that was altogether. satisfying.
AS for the impersonation of Richard
Carewe by Dick Ferris, it was quite
perfunctory and monotonous, while the
Phyllis of Grace Hayward savored of
the rural drama, in accent and action.
The three bachelor friends of Carewe
were impersonated by actors who did
not know their lines.
The less said of the rest of the show
the better. F. G. H.

Only three more performances of
"Yon Yonson" will be given at the

There will be a ladies' matinee given

company. The attraction is perhaps
the best offered at the Star this season
and is drawing large audiences.

AND NATIONAL DE-
MOCRACY.

The policy outlined by a prominent
Democrat as fittest for the party in
this state and made public by him
through The GIob e in late issue
is so admirable that we wish to en-
phasize and reinforce it. The Democ-
racy of Minnesota should send dele
cation to the national convention whose
warrant for wisdom shall lie not in
any instructions, but in the character
of it's personnel.
The state convention should name
delegates at large, and the districts
choose Democrats in each who can be
depended upon to do the best thing for
the party. They should be conserva-
tive, careful men. They should be free
from the faint of extremism Sand in
tolerance They should be able to for
get what has happened on both sides
in the past, to remember only Democ-
racy reunited and rejuvenated, and to
think and act only with an eye single
and heart devoted to its honor and
success.
Any attempt to control the conven-
ton in the interest of any particular
candidate should be frowned down.
The situation at present is not such
that any individual aspirant for the
presidency has clear field or an open
title. 1t is not such that any man who
has been mentioned deserves the in
structed following of Minnesota. The
atmosphere will not be clear or the
way of success made plain until repre-
sentative Democrats shall have taken
counsel with one another at st. Louis,
and out of it have evolved harmony
and wisdom. Let the pledge of Min
nesota lie in the naming of her best,
most disinterested, ablest, calmest and
most impartial Democrats, and trust
to them for the result.

themselves and to assail those who
have exposed them represent a grade
of public morals so low that it's toler-
ance in our national halls is a distinct
menace. People should give their rep
resentatives to understand that they
must set for themselves higher ideal
of public conduct or retire from public
life. Look at the situation in the In
dian territory, where members Of one
the country decline either to give up
their jobs or to withdraw from the
private enterprises which their off,
cial positions have been used to make
profitable. Look at congressman We
hemently asserting that right and pro-
priety combine to permit such prac-
tees as the Bristow report has re-
vealed.
The republic cannot face it's own
future securely without declaring en-
phatically for a new and higher line
of conduct It can serve its country
and the cause of public morality no
better than by driving out the whole
race Of money changers, and declaring
that no party which does not at least
put itself on record against the COR
rupt use of public power, either open
or implied, can retain the public con-
idence or support.

tion being so defined that no change in
it could be regarded as possible, the
admission Of the territory as state
was tantamount to a definite and I'M
limited permit by the United States
government for the Continuance un-

culiar to Mormonisnl.
The senate investigation is an I'M
mixed farce. There is nothing brought
to light which bears or can bear posi-
bly, upon the case of Senator Smoot.
There is nothing disclosed which any
act of congress or proceeding of the
courts can remedy. The plain fact is
that everybody outside of the mad
house knew that the admission Of
Utah meant the erection of a perma-
nent and impregnable asylum not only
for Mormonism, but for polygamy and
anything else which Mormonism chose
this row about it after the nation has
by it's own act estopped itself from
further interference? Why burden the
public prints with mass of matter,
most of it offensive and large por-

mock show of high morality, when it
is too late for moral ideas, even if sin
cere, to have any practical effect what
ever?

ROOSEVELT, DICTATOR.

The Republican party, drunk with
successes unearned, is being brought to
it's senses and delivered from tremens
by rather nauseating doses of Roose-
welt bromide. Col. Roosevelt has taken
the organization in hand. He has held
it's nose while administering Fairbanks
as sop to those people who in presi-
Dental campaigns look after the sue
cession and who in horse races bet
their money on the horse that has a
chance to be second. He has indicated
who is to be the chairman Of the ma
tional committee. He has practically
taken charge of the party and proposes
to run it in the interests of Roosevelt.
Which shows that he proposes to gath
er the fruits that are now ripe.
The remarkable part of all this is
that the party is standing still and al
lowing Col. Roosevelt to put the cfnch
on. The lesser lights of the Republican
party are simply accepting the Roose-
welt domination because they do not
know what else to do And the colonel
is going through with the breaking in
of the party as he is alleged to have
gone through with the breaking of
bronchos-though eyewitnesses to the
latter transaction have not yet been
produced.
Destiny has made Col. Roosevelt the
master of his party as it made him
Roosevelt, of New York. He was born
to the purple, he was butted into the
legislature Of his state, he became a
political reformer because there was
nothing else to do; he became presi-
dent of the United States because fate
was due to flount Tom Plat, who had
calculated on shelving man whom he
recognized as a menace to the Repub-
lican party.
Col. Roosevelt is now the dictator Of
the Republican party. Next fall he will
be the Republican party, and there are
signs that fate, which has so far smiled
on him, will shrivel him with a frown
in which the sins of the organization
which he is taking upon himself will
take form.
The time is inauspicious for a man
who is simply lucky to take on the bur-
den of an organization which is rotten
from center to circumference and
which is about to submit to a public
examination.

CANAL PAYMENT
WON'T BE HARMFUL
Secretary Shaw Thinks With.

Safe Proposition.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March TO-
The prospect that the $40,000,000 pay
ment by the United States to the new
Panama Canal company, of France, will
nave to be made in gold coin, instead
OF by international exchange, has caus-
ed some serious consideration of the
effect on the money market. After a
careful survey of the situation, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw has reached
the conclusion that the withdrawal Of
this large amount of money from the
circulating medium of the country will
not be seriously felt in New York and
the other monetary centers, and that
all fears of money stringency are
without foundation.
1t is admitted now that the funds
need not have been withdrawn from
the national bank repositories quite as
early, for the transfer of the canal
property will consume a longer time
than at first expected. 1t was gener-
ally agreed among financiers at the
outset, however, that the banks were
in good condition to stand the strain of
this large withdrawal. This would not
have been true four or five months ago
and it would not be true, probably, four
or five months hence, but just at this
time there is plenty of money to carry
on the business of the country. BY the
time the crop-moving season arrives,
it is believed, that the treasury will
have accumulated such a surplus of re-
ceipts over expenditures as to be in a
condition to replace the deposits thus
withdrawn, and thus avoid any danger
of stringency during the season Of
naturally tight money.
The talk occasioned by the desire of
the French Canal company to have the
payment made in gold coin has not
ceased. There is no doubt in the minds
of many members of the administra-
ton that the greatest significance at
taches to this request in connection
with the far Eastern war, for it is be-
lieved that France is in imminent dan
ger of being drawn into the war, that
the French government is aware of this
and. wishes to be prepared for it, ~
The question has arisen as to just
when the United States will (as Sec
rotary Shaw recently put it in a pub
lie SPECIFY @begin to shovel dirt on
the Panama canal. The probability is
that the work will begin Immediately
after the transfer of the title to this
government The French company has
a large number of men at work on the
isthmus, and as soon as the title passes
the pay of these men will of course be
stopped, so far as the old company is
concerned. Preparations are now maxi
ing to take charge of the French COM
pany's equipment on the isthmus, and
the arrangements are expected to be
completed by the time the money is
paid over to the canal company, which
will probably be within sixty days from
this time. Walter E. Clark.

THE PRISON SENSATION.

The detailed statement of occur
rences preceding and subsequent to the
letting of the contract for the prison
labor of the state, published by h
Globe this morning, will be read with
intense interest by every citizen OF
Minnesota. 1t is minute, it is circum-
stantial, it is made by man response
BILE in every sense of the term, and 1t
will compel attention and command
confidence.
Mr.. w. B. Jordan asserts that War
den Wolfer had an interest in the shoe
company by which prison labor was
employed. He recounts conversations
in which Wolfer is said to have
spoken of this freely and as matter
understood. He describes the devious
ways in which the various interests
worked, and shows the wheels within
wheels connected with the charge of
this public trust No relation could be
more explicit and none demand more
loudly an investigation and such an
swer as those implicated may find pos
sible.
AS far as the board of control is con-
cerned they may find it inconvenient
to explain why they have concealed
these matters deliberately and obsti-
nately from The public. Mr.. Jordan
AYERS that he laid before the board
everything that he has now given to
the public, that he asked for copy
of the record, and that his request was
evaded. All that he has since required
was that the members of the board,
session, should give it out. That they
have refused to do, although a tran
script has been demanded from them.
1t will now be expedient for them to ex-
plain why they have shrunk from pub
their official capacity, taken no cognf-
zance as far as we know of the very
serious matters presented to them by
Mr.. Jordan.
1t is equivalent to a confession that
appeared thus far make no attempt to
answer charges or explain condition

drawing political line, far be it from
us to say nay. If any party or its rep
resentatives wants to assume RESPONSE
bility for improprieties or to throw
over them the party mantle, that is no
affair of our making.
A grave scandal has been developed,
which Minnesota cannot afford to ig-
more. The board of control and others
have sneered at the manly letters and
attitude of Mr.. Jordan and told him
that it was "up to him. to give facts
and explanations. We trust that they
are satisfied. He has complied with
their request with vengeance, and his
relation will send a shock through all
Minnesota today. Upon every man
marked by it must fall the weight OF
responsibility and the burden of a just
punishment.
