Dining in Darkness.

In France and Switzerland the latest
vogue is to dine in the dark. Dinner
begins as usual. but suddenly, to the
surprise of the guests, the light goes out
and all is left in darkness. Nothing has
gone wrong, and before the guests have
recovered from their establishment the
dining-room doors open, ,and shadowy
forms steal in bearing a blazing mass
Of light. 1t is the next course illu-
minated. Silently the figures come to
your side, and in few moments on
everyone's plate is. gay, your fish, and
delicately shaded light by which to
eat It, but otherwise the room remains

The Honorable Course.

That was a remarkable scene in the
house Of representatives yesterday
when Representative Shafroth of Colo
RADIO voluntarily gave up his seat His
place was contested by Mr.. Bonynge,
and the evidence before the commit
tee on elections, unexpectedly to Mr..
Shafrotf, revealed the fact that he
owed his election to fraud.
That was all MIR. Shafroth wanted to
know. He might have continued the
fight for place somewhat longer, but
it was enough for him to know that
he was not the chosen representative
Of his district. He, therefore, cut
short the investigation, conceded that
the proof Of fraud was ample and sur
rendered his seat.
1t is doubtless grievous loss to MT.
Shafroth to give up his congressional
career. He may never return to con-
gress. But the loss is as nothing com
pared with his own knowledge that he
has done right, and the respect his
course will command from honorable
men everywhere.
Mr.. Shafroth has been good con-
gresham, but nothing in his con-
gressional career has done him so
much honor as the manner of his leav-
ing it.

Are Nations to BE Wiped out?-Are
China, Japan and Korea to be wiped off
the map? It does not look like it, not. at
least, so far as Japan is concerned, but
beyond question there IS fear in the

in grave danger. A Japanese official said

combe. former secretary of the legation at

alton in The Outlook for Feb 10, states
the issue thus:
Shall the three Independent nations still re-
naming in eastern Asia be allowed to continue
their political existence, or shall they be cut

mitted to show what they can do for themselves

of modern lifeA and intercourse, in the Develop
ment of new growing life in each, or shall
they be reduced to the positions OF colonial de-
tendencies. handed over to the exploitation OF

Where Good Roads Make Money--1t is
down around Jackson, Tenn There was
day there when the absence of good
roads lost money to all concerned. It was
this kind of argument by plain farmer
that led to the change:
I've got little farm and sawmill out on the
Poplar Corner road, just little over two miles
from town. and II could climb up on a hard
road with my truck and what lumber have
sawed | could clear enough in one day to pay
my tax on that road, but 1 haven't got it,
and, turning to a merchant, he said: 'tMr.
Fletcher, ! bought some groceries from you this
month. "a pause); yes--$5 worth--for I carried
them out on my back. but il had a good road
it would have been $25, sure"

JUSTICE DEFEATED
Boston Herald.


The opinion of the supreme court OF
Minnesota which released from prison ex-
Mayor Ames of Minneapolis is adapted to
shake the respect of plain people for the
courts. It seems grotesque and absurd
as we'll as mischievous. Ames was charged
with accepting money from dissolute wo-
men, and for this bride agreeing to pro-
tect them while plying their unlawful
trade. The indictment set forth that he
had agreed with the women collectively
to do this: but it was shown that the
agreement had been with the same women
individually instead of collectively. Be
cause of this error in the Indictment he is
released and escapes punishment. 1t was
made plain, in fact, was confessed in the
hearing before the supreme court, that he
had committed the essential crime
charged. but not in the precise method al
legged. It was by a similar technicality
that the supreme court Of Missouri set
free the twenty or more boodlers whose
conviction had been secured by District
Attorney Folk We much doubt if such
a thing could have happened in England.
Indeed, in England there would have been

Wants No More Parks.
70 the Editor of The journal.

I want to protest for one about this
taking lands for more parkways, just to
help some interested real estate and prop
erty owners out, and to enhance and beau
tifu the interests of Mr. Lowry and other
interested owners in going to a lot Of ex-
pense to get more pathways. It is we'll
known fact that Minneapolis is the only
city Of its size that has parkways that
are not kept up. Why, they don't even cut
the grass. until it is long enough to make
hay, not to speak of never having bloom
ing f1ower-beds In any of the parks The
idea Of mourning more debt and taxes for
three new parks, when the present ones
are SO disgracefully neglected! speak Of
all the parks in general and of Lake of the
Isles in particular, altho need not as it
will speak for itself. If any one will take
a drive to the Lake of the Isles ice track
he will see the snow knee deep on the
walks, weeks after a snow storm It is
as neglected as tho it were miles and
miles out in the country, instead Of being
within the city limits. Talk Of buying
more parks, the city had much better
take care of the ones it has already by
trying to beautify them, as by keeping the.
grass cut regularly. the streets cleaned,
some flower beds, also shrubs, etc. and to
run the snow pillow thru occasionally, say
once during the winter, SO that travellers
and residents will not have to plunge
knee-deep in snow, would be much more
sensible and to the point.

EVIDENCES OF CONSOLIDATION
Mankato Free Press

The real beauty of the Northern Pacific
Great Northern merger will be found in
the towns situated on both roads between
st. Cloud and Minneapolis. The tracks
of the merger companies run parallel all
the way and ever since the two roads
were constructed separate depots have
been maintained by them. 1t is now pro-
posed to do away with the operation of
one Of the depots in each town, discharg-
ing one of the agents and have all of the
business Of these overland routes con-
Quoted by one force of employees. TO all
intents and purposes the people living in
the towns on these lines will have but one
corporation to deal with. and it is a WE'LL
known fact that towns that are not fav-
ored with competing lines do not always
receive the best sort of treatment from
the management of the road that does
enter those towns.

A Long War.

Just now the laymen no less than
the naval and military experts are
almost without condition predicting
victory for the Japanese in this war
that has but begun to rage in the ORR
ent. Because of the spectacular sue
eesses of the Japanese in the opening
battles Of the war and because the
wish is father to the thought people
have generally jumped to the conclu-
sion that the Japs will win hands
down. But if they do win in the end
it will only be after a tedious war and
the putting forth Of efforts that will
strain the strength and resources of
the empire.
This war will not end with the fall
Of Port Arthur, if, indeed, it does fall,
nor even with the occupation by the
Japanese Of half of Manchuria. These
are but the fringes Of Russia's colos-
sal empire. Losing them, the Rus
slams will but retire to some point on
their railway in the interior and set
tie down to make those preparations
that were incomplete when the war
began. 1t may be six months before
the Russians are ready to begin to
fight in earnest. Day after day the
Russian forces and supplies in the far
east will be augmented by an almost con-
tinuous succession Of military trains,
and the time will come when the Jap
anese will find themselves confronted
by as large an army as they can arm
and transport.
Russia simply dare not give UP until
she is exhausted. In this war she CAN
not, as In some others, forego her
purpose merely to realize it later.
She cannot now retreat in peace to
advance in another war. Once Russia
releases her grasp on Manchuria and
let's the war come to an end, her great
empire in the Orient is doomed to
everlasting incompleteness. Without
a port in the warm seas it will be for
ever cribbed and confined by hostile
nations. Japanese victory means a
China hostile to Russia and insures
that Japan, backed by England and
America, will in one way or another
hold the entire Korean and Manchu-
rian coast against Russia. Encouraged
| by Russian defeat England will boil
ster up her old policy Of keeping Rus
STA out of Constantinople, and SO Rus
STA after centuries of expansion will
still find herself without an ice-free
outlet to world-commerce either in the
east or in the west.
| 1t is not possible that the Russians
have for two centuries followed an in.
flexible policy of national growth only
to permit it to be foiled at this time by
war with Japan without putting
forth all the strength and utilizing al
the resources of their enormous en-
pire. If Japan shall win her victory
| will be earned.

TUESDAY EVENING,

abled him to mass the business
strength of the country behind Nc
Kinley, and those two campaigns
added quite as much to Hanna's fame
as to the presidents. Without Han
ma Mckinley might have been defeated
in 1895. In a very large measure,
therefore, Senator HannG is response
BILE for the form national politics have
assumed in the last ten years.
Senator Hanna was man Of large
heart and altruistic tendencies. The
problem raised by the controversies of
labor and capital deeply interested
him and he was able to see the en-
ployee's side as few employers have
been. He was a power for industrial
peace, and thru the Civic Federation
did much substantial and lasting work
in that direction.
AS to Hanna's future, had life been
spared to him. it is not probable that
he would ever have been president, as,
it is said President Mckinley expected
he would be. The popularity of Pres
ident Roosevelt insures for the pres
ident a second term, tho a large ele-
ment in the republican party would,
no doubt, have been delighted had the
honor come to Senator Hanna.
The demise of Senator Hanna is
likely to have a marked effect on the
republican party. The standpatters
have lost their leader, and what may
be called the Mckinley group is dis
sipated. President Roosevelt is now
the supreme leader of his party. AT
heart he is a liberal tariff man, and
the day of a revision of the tariff by
it's friends is probably not far off.
