Tuesday Evening,

faith in an impersonal power which
they expect to see exert itself in the
fullness Of time to the complete un-
doing Of the little laps They are
willing to undergo defeat now, pend
ing the arrival of the hour when this
power shall manifest itself, falling to
see that they are the machinery by
which it must be applied if 1t is ever
to prove effective at all.
In whatever way the Russians in
the field expect to see the power of
Russia applied to crush the Japanese,
certain it Is now that the demands
upon that power, both in respect of
quantity and quality, will be far great
er than Russia seems at any time
among Russia's friends becoming a
graver and graver question whether,
at the distance at which it must be
applied. it will prove equal to these
demands. With Russia's fleet in east
ern waters shattered, with Port Ar
hands of the Japanese, thereby re-
leasing Nogis great army to strength

with Kuropatkin in a position In
which he cannot take the aggressive;
with the Japanese stimulated by past
victories and an intense patriotism,
and possessing bravery bordering on
fanaticism but controlled by cool and
wise heads, and masters Of the art of
WARMTH all these to be taken into
account, ultimate victory seems to
have passed beyond the vanishing
point of the Russian horizon.

The Disgrace of Minnehaha.

The people of Minneapolis synpa-
thize with the women of Minnehaha
park who made such a strong protest
to the mayor yesterday against the
immortality, disorder and orgies that
have so long disgraced Minnehaha.
We are glad to observe that Mayor
Haynes emphatically announced that
he would exert himself to suppress the
tough resorts that are both physically
and morally a blot on Minnehaha, It
is surprising that the places have been
so long permitted to defle one of the
pleasantest resorts in the city, a spot
that is world-famed. ~.
1t is TRUE that the mayor is handi-
capped by an insufficient police force,
but it is likely that if he and his
chief Of police set out to put an end
to the nasty resorts along the railway
track at Minnehaha they will succeed.
It is true that they harbor a persistent
gang of hoodlums, but one determined
policeman charged. with the duty of
making life miserable for them would
probably be able to accomplish the
work single-handed.

Inspection of Meats.

Inspection of Meats.
To the Editor of The Journal.
The butchers strike emphasizes the i'm
peftance of legislation that will give the
state control over the meat business as
health measure. Under normal eondi-
lions national inspection of all live ami,
mails and fresh meats affords ample pro-
lection in SO far as central live stock mar
kets are concerned, but it. Is in emergen-
cies Of the strike kind that the public is
at the mercy of the unscrupulous, when
diseased animals are slaughtered and sold
for consumption without inspection of any
kind. The strike has reopened hundreds
| of abandoned slaughterhouses that are
unsanitary and unclean, and many Of the
animals slaughtered in these places have
never passed under the inspectors eye,
but are purchased away from market CEN
tiers and shipped direct to the Strengthening
pens. Even our Boosted national inspec-
ton does not fill the bill entirely, for the
reason that while our large cities are
amply protected by its operations the
smaller cities and towns are at the mercy
of the country butcher or farmer who may
or may not furnish the consumer with
healthy, wholesome meats.
Now if rigid inspection of animals and
meats is good for the consumer in the
larger cities it should be equally good for
the consumer In the smaller cities and
towns All should be protected by it's pro-
| Visions, ana until such is the case the
law must be said to be wanting.
The remedy lies only in tforo inspection
| on the hoof and in the carcass of all ami
mails consumed in the state as fresh meat.
This would work no hardship on anyone,
except, perhaps, the small slaughterer Of
lumpy- jaWed cattle, scabby, emaciated
sheep, and cholera-affected hogs. 1t is
hard to detect the lumpy -jawed steer with
his head off; it's equally difficult to tell
| the scabby sheep with his pelt off, or the
tottering choleric hog in the cold carcass.
Inspection Of the live animal would de-
| tect all these diseases, while inspection of
| the carcass and offal would readily re-
| veal tuberculosis and other ailments that
might be invisible in the live animal.
/ Nor would the stock grower suffer in
the least from an arrangement of this
| kind, as he would still have the choice of
all markets, while values for dressed pro-
| duct should not be affected materially.
Granting that legislation of this kind
could not be enforced without federal
/ acquiescence in the shape of eonstitu-
tional amendment, where life and health
1 are concerned we should not hesitate to
obtain relief even if extremes had to be
i resorted to.
/ 1t is not my intention to cast reflection
upon the so-called independent packers
4 by anything may have said In this COM
i by saying that they have done much to
4 alleviate the difficulties under which pro-
/ Queer and consumer alike have suffered
4 during the past thirty days, and freely
4 venture the assertion that all of them
i would approve program of state in
4 spection such as have briefly outlined.

BAD JULY FOR ROCK ISLAND
President Loree Says Earnings Will
Be Disappointing.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Aug. 16.-L f. Lofee,
president Of the Rock Island railroad
has started for Denver. He will make
a special. inspection of the Iowa, Kan
sas and Nebraska lines and will be
gone about a month.
Mr.. Lorees says the showing of earn
ings of the Rock Island system for the
month of July is likely to be disap-
pointing. The month started out
most satisfactorily but later there was
trouble in some sections by a week of
floods and then occurred the stock
yards strike.
These circumstances, in addition to
the fact that the movement Of wheat
did not begin so early as usual by a
week or more, caused sharp falling
off in receipts. This will be offset
to some extent, however, by reduction
in operating expenses now being af-
fected. Mr.. Loree says that July al
ways was a bad month for the western
roads. Vie looks for a decidedly bet
ter business and earnings from now

"a Significant Movement.

While the movement of the Home
Protective league against certain sa-
loonkeepers In this city may have the
appearance of being merely an effort
to close the saloons on Sunday, there
is reason to believe that that is not
the primary object. AS every one
knows, practically every saloon In the
city is open on Sunday the same as
any other day, except that the front
doors are closed and access is furn-
ished by a very convenient side door.
There is in existence, as all the sa-
leonmen know, an anti-Wineroom or
dinance, an ordinance intended to sup
press the worst of all the evils OF the
saloon. The wineroom is the apart
ment to which women are admitted
and where the worst, results of the
LIQUOR traffic are developed. Some Of
the saloonkeepers have complied with
the law against the wineroons, while
some have openly and persistently re-
sisted every effort to enforce that law.
It is significant that thus far no COM
plants for Sunday closing have been
made against saloonkeepers that have
not violated the anti-wineroom ordi-
nance. It is also suggestive Of the
firm determination with, which the
representatives of the Home Protect
i've league have undertaken to make

Actions Still Speak Louder Than
Words.

The Northf1eld News makes the fol-
lowing announcement:
1.-The News will support any candi-
can make it plain that he is not the
representative and has not the support
of railroad corporations, and who is
not favored by the unlawful merger
interests ..-..
If the proprietor of the News
means what he says, then he certainly
has no intention of supporting Joel
P. Heatwole for the office mentioned.
But his past actions do not furnish a
very encouraging promise of sincerity.
The Northfield editor managed the
campaign and handled the funds for
DR.. L. w, Babcock, elected speaker
of the last house of representatives
by the support of the railroad corpora
ton and merger influences.
He managed the campaign Of Rob-
ert G. Dunn, nominated for governor
by the support of the merger political
machine, and with the aid of a lavish
campaign fund administered by Mr.
Heatwole. .----%,--
He repudiated the antimerger
plank in the republican state platform
saying editorially that SUCH a declara-
Q ton could only be considered in the
light of a joke, after the other re-
suits of the convention.
Why then these sudden scruples
about the senatorship? Why bar these
same influences when it. comes tc
electing a senator, if they were goo6
enough to elect speaker and nom.
mate a candidate for governors?

The Northwestern Miller sent special
dispatch to the Philadelphia Record stat
ing that "the conservative and responsible
element in trade, which is not seeking to
influence the market, but which is de-
pendent on the crop for it's business ex-
istence during the next twelve months, is
confident that the spring wheat crop at
the worst will equal last years, with
prospects for much better results" This
seems to be quite little distant from a
wheat calamity" and as other crops are
first rate, the northwest is likely to worry
thru the winter pretty comfortably.

A PLAN TO MAKE
WISCONSIN SAFE
Leaders Would Have Same Elec-
tors at Head of Both Repub.
lican Tickets.
Special to The Journal.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-A possible aY
of avoiding confusion in the rel
lican electoral ticket in Visor
thereby making the state "safe" in ----
estimation of republican managers, is
being considered by party leaders.
1t is proposed to have the Wisconsin
supreme court pass on the question of
having the same electors at the head
of both the La Toilette and "stal-
wart" tickets.
Senator Quarles and other ''stal-
wart" leaders believe that the law will
permit this, and have outlined the
proposition to leaders in other states
concerned in the outcome in Wiscon-
sin. Such a procedure will be adopted
in the, state, according to Senator A.
J. Hopkins of Illinois, and he and
other republicans have been given to
understand that nothing will be. done
by either faction to jeopardize the
success of the national ticket.

Rust.

There has been a lot 'of talk the
last two or three weeks by wheat-ptt
farmers about rust. We suspect that
many of those who have been talking
most wisely about rust did not have
the slightest idea of what it is: Very
likely they thought it was something
akin to metallic rust. These gentle
men are referred to Professor Boil
.ley's account of rust in yesterdays
j nal.
One part of Professor Bol1ey's state
ment is a significant reminder how
easily we may unwittingly do injury to
our neighbors. The barberry bush is
favorite ornamental shrub for parks
and gardens. The brilliant red ber-
ries give pleasing touch Of color to
the landscape in summer and fall, and
the white blossoms are delightful in
the spring. But the barberry bush Is
a favorite home of. one set OF rust
spores. Thus the man who keeps bar
berry bushes on his lawn merely as
an ornament may be the cause Of the
destruction Of the wheat crop Fof an
extensive region, perhaps of whole
state, for the winds carry the spores
far and wide.
Certain conditions are required for
the growth of the parasite. In sea-
sons when these conditions do not
prevail rust is not dangerous. but
every shrub that shelters the spores
becomes a menace to the entire agri-
cultural community In such a season
as the present.

Congressman Charles R. Davis Of st,
Peter will have no opposition for renomin-
alton, II his opponents are relying on
Frank Wilson of Red Wing to make the
fight. Some months ago the Red Wing
attorney thought seriously of taking a
hand in the game, and had it under con-
sideration for some time. He was in Min
neapolis yesterday afternoon, and said
that he had definitely decided not to be a
candidate. AS far as he knew Mr.. Davis
would not have any opposition.
While the new congressman from the
third has worked politically with the ma
chine to which he owes his nomination, he
has displayed more independence in his
official conduct than was expected under
the circumstances. For this reason the
feeling against him is not as intense as
it was when he was first nominated.
