WATKINS SIGNS
TWO PITCHERS
Wisenberg and Brettsen, Stars of
Three-1 League, Sold by
Springfield.

Special to The Journal.
Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 17.-Local base
ball fandom was thrown into sorrow
this morning by the announcement that
Minneapolis has purchased releases of
the two star twir1ers Of the Springfield
Three-I league team. These men are
Wisenberg and Brittsen. They are
fast young pitchers and each has won
the heavy percentage of games pitched
this season. Wisenberg is right
handler whose wonderful speed has
caused CONSERVATION turnout the whole
Three-I circuit.
Brittsen is a southpaw with every
shoot at his command, and one of the
fastest felders in the business. The
price received by the local management
is not given, but as Indianapolis and
Detroit were both bidding for the twirl-
ers, it is thought, to be high. The
pitchers will finish the season with
Springfield and will report to Mime.
apolis at the beginning Of next year.

NEW YORK POLICE.
PARADE SUSPECTS
Prisoners Accused of Fake Wire
Tapping Placed on Show in
: Broadway.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Aug. 17.-Acting Captain
McCauley, in command of the Mulberry
street detective bureau, inaugurated a
new method of exposing suspicious char
acters yesterday, when he ordered s.
public exhibition of eight alleged "wire
tappers,n arrested yesterday in a raid.
They were lined up before the entire
central office force and McCauley read
them lecture He then turned to the
driver Of the patrol wagon and said:
''I want you on your way to the
West Side court with these men to drive
directly up Broadway, SO everyone can
see them. If any one asks you what
they did, stop and tell him they are
confidence men and wire tappers. |
wish I could have signs placed on the
wagon showing who and what these
men are. It will do good to give pub
LEFTY to them.'
The men were taken to court as Nc
Cauley had ordered, and when the pris-
oners were arraigned before Magistrate
Mayo they were held in $500 bonds
each for further examination on Aug.
IS. Captain Schulm said that by that
time he thought he would have three or
four "suckers' who had been
Htrimmed.'

YELLOW FEVER SCARE

What Environment Has Done.

It is not so much difference in the
characters of the two peoples, who
come Of common stock and are Of COM
mon blood, that has caused this diverg-
ence in social conditions. It is rather
the result of environment and history
The Norwegians were the mountainous
and sailors. The SWedes were the
farmers and asTt;saas. Freedom has
ever come to n5slkiHd from the noun
tains ThkstisA because mountaineers
live in isolated communities, which, in
the nature Of things, must have local
government. In their Businesses
they cannot be conquered or subdued.
They become se1freliant and self-as-
sertive. The plainsmen, on the other
hand, are more open to attack and
more likely to have imposed on them
some form Of feudal or aristocratic au-
thority. Great families grow up among
them and attain predominance that
is handed down from generation to
generation. The sailors, again, are
kings in their own right on the sea.
They travel far and see much. They
are adventurous, independent and free.
So it happens that democracy in Nor
way is the heritage Of the ages and that
it has come from the mountains and
from the sea. -.
The progress Of liberal opinions and
democratic ideas in Sweden has been
much slower. Not only have the occu-
pations Of the people and their geo.
graphical situation favored the growth
Of oligarchical institutions, but the his
tory Of that brave and warlike nation

PEOPLE Do NOT
RULE IN SWEDEN
Minister Arctander Of. Norway At
tributes Crisis to That
Fact.
Sweden Is Governed by Aristoc-
racy, Norway by De-
mocracy.
BY W. q. CHAMBERLAIN.
Managing Editor Of The Journal.

Copyright 1905, BY The Minneapolis Journal.
Christiania, Norway, July 2o.-'sIf the
people of Sweden were in control Of
Sweden s government, there would
never have been union crisis. If the
people of Sweden could express their
opinion tomorrow, they would say to
Norway: Go your way in peace. Let
us be friends and brothers, But
Sweden is ruled by the aristocracy. Less
than 8 per cent of her men are per
mitted to vote for the members of the
second chamber. And the second cham.
Der has around its neck the milestone
Of the first chamber, made up of arts.
tocrats and representatives of the
moneyed class. And that is why the
union has been a failure. That is why
there has come crisis and why Nor.
way has been forced at last to dissolve
the union.''
These words Of IS. B. Arctander, min.
lister of the interior in the provisional
government of Norway, cut deep to the
root Of the truth. 1t is the radical diff
ference that exists between social con
ditions in Sweden and social conditions
in Norway that lies at the bottom OF
the century Of dispute and friction I'M
der the union agreement.
Mr.. Arctander quoted with approval
the epigram that. the Swcdes are the
Russians Of Scandinavia, while the Nor
wegians are it's Americans. This has
often been said in another. form by SO
biologists who have studied Scandi
navia. It has frequently been declared
that the boundary between the civiliza
ton of eastern Europe and that of west
ern Europe is Identical with the bound
airy between Norway and Sweden.
