NEW NOVEL BY MYRTLE REED IN
THE PUTNAM FALL lLisT-.'At the
Sign of the Jack o. lantern is the title
given new novel by Myrtle Reed which
G. P. Putnam's Sons will put out this
fall. It is described as "a genial story
of the adventures of a New York news
paper man and his young wife, who, at
the end OF their honeymoon, go to an
unexplored heirloom in the shape Of a
peculiar old house, where many strange
and amusing things happen. There is a
mystery IN the house, as well as a signifi-
cant portrait of an uncanny cat. A vein
of delicate humor, sentiment and homely
philosophy runs thru the story"
A new novel founded on the life Of
Lord Byron is promised by the same
house. The author Is F. Frankfort
Moore. The publishers say: "Mr. Moore
has chosen the only really ideal love
aHa1r IN Lord Byron's career, and has
told OF the poets earlier attachment for
MS cousin, Mary Chaworth Readers who
were charmed by this authors 'Jessamy
Bride VIII find his latest novelty equally
captivating" The title is Love Is Lord. "
among the other novels from the same
house are: Lady Bobs, Her Brother and

Chamberlain; Under Guiding Stars a
Massachusetts story of the century, by
Agnes Blake Poor; Peter and Alexis, u

Japan's Crisis.

A vital test Of the virtues Of Nut
suhito's ancestors appears to be i'm
minent in Japan. Coincident with the
signing of the peace treaty at Ports
mouth there are rumors Of revolt Of
the army in Manehuria. There are
threats that the army will refuse to
recognize the treaty, will reduce the
emperor to the rank of a religious
fgurehead shorn of actual power-that
is to say, restore the shogunate, the
overthrow of which, forty years ago,
was the beginning of modern Japan.
The army is represented as drunk
with power and determined to whip the
Russians to standstil and secure an
indemnity. Curiously enough, there
are mutterings from st. Petersburg that
it would have been better, rather than
surrender a rood Of Russian ground, to
have fought on. The fighting appetite
Of neither nation seems yet to have
been cloyed with blood, altho the whole
civilized world is sick with it.
The trouble with both Japan and
Russia today is that in neither coun-
try does the civil government dom
mate the situation. Both are more or
less the football Of the fighting men.
In Russia the grand dukes look upon
the millions Of peasants as food for
powder. In Japan the army which has
been created out of nothing by the
genius Of a few men considers itself
the genius Of Japan.
The real test Of the stability OF
the island empire was, after all, not in
making war but in making peace. II
the army shall prove strong enough tt
kick over the civil institutions, which
have been copied, as the army was
copied, from Caucasian models, the flu
ture holds nothing for Japan but ruiz
and division into satrapies. The civil
lied powers can never tolerate coun
try in which the law Of the land ant
the International relations are dictated
by generals in the field.
Fancy Lord Roberts revolving agains
the terms agreed to between the Beers
and the British cabinet, and then SET
Lord Roberts marching to jail. The
news from Japan may be greatly ex
aggerated, and it is to be hoped that i
is, but there is no questioning the fac
that Japan today is in the hands Of tn
| army.

not permit OF the severe application requi-
site to effective service. Again he was
urged to accept, with the assurance that
his duties would be nominal, his mere
official connection with the company being
considered sufficient recOmpense for his
remuneration. Mr. Cleveland replied sim
ply that that would seem to him too much
like selling the use Of his name, which, Of
course. he could not do. That closed tho
incident.
Z After the War--What7 "'wait until
the regiments in Manchuria begin to come
back to European Russia. See what will
happen then! The present strikes and
riots are mere bonfires compared with the
conflagration which the returning soldiers
will set going Thus spoke one of the
'revolutioners' that I met in st. Peters
burg. sOthers who are not 'revolutioners,'
either passive or active, are also fearful
of what will happen when the Manchurian
soldiers return. They say: These men
have seen the world and heard much.
They have also suffered. Scattered again
to tell of what they have been thru, they
will become firebrands in districts already
overheated. Whether the government will
then be able to hold the revolters in check
is doubtful. The army once infected with
seditious ideas, the car and his whole
retinue had better pack up and clear
out. ," This Josiah Flynt writes from
Russia to Public Opinion of Sept. 2, but
concludes: II do not agree with those who
think that the return of the Manchurian
armies will mean revolution. It will mean
a change, to be sure, in the methods of
thinking Of millions of people; but 1 be-
lieve that even the new methods of think
ing will not deter the soldiers from quell-
ing riots and Instructions when ordered

JOEL AFTER RAILROADS
ARRAIGNs THEIR LOBBY IN AID
DRESS BEFORE ST. PAUL LABOR
DAY CROWD.

In his address yesterday at the st.
Paul Labor Day picnic, held at Lake
Shore, White Bear lake, Joel P. Heat
Wole severely arraigned the railroads
for their present policies.
within the past six MONTHS" he
said, railroads and other large corpo-
rations have established In nearly every
state a lobby composed of the shrewd-
est and craftiest men, whose principal
road labor into the false belief that
government supervision, of public serv-
ice corporations will reduce wages
Speaking of the present widespread
social unrest, Mr.. Heatwole said:
Gone of the most harmful conditions
in American society today is that men
and women are trying to be that which
they cannot be. In other words the
thousand-dollar man tries to enter the
$l0,000-class before he is fitted to meet
the requirements. There is nothing
that is so demoralizing as envy and dis
content.''
Over 5000 men marched in the Labor
Day parade in st. Paul.

The August Record.

August was good month in nearly
everything of Importance in commerce
and finance, and in no respect was
there a better record made than in the
matter Of business failures. The COM
pilation for the month is at hand today,
and it is found that thru the period, S51
firms or individuals, doing business
great or small, were forced to the wall.
The liabilities totaled $6,140, $3.50. This,
one might thing, was not very favora-
BILE, for the number Of failures looks
large, and the dollars represented enor-
nous, but ours is a great country, and
relative to the whole it is a small per-
centage.
The favorable part Of 1t appears
when comparison is made with August,
1904, in which month forty-nine, more,
or 900 failures in all, appear. At that
time the liabilities also ran much heavi-
er, the excess over this year being $4,
351 1922, or in total $10,491 1888.
Dun's review, in which the figures
appear, makes the comment that the
showing is a very favorable one, as in
dicating tendency towards decrease in
mercantile mortality. This is indisput-
able evidence Of prosperity and increas.

than the avera ge public official is do
ing his share to make the Orpheum
bill entertaining this week. He is
black French poodle, having the stimu-
lating name of Whisky, and his bust
ness in life is to sustain on his curly
head the l1S pounds belonging to young
Antoine de Koe, Belgian acrobat, while
that gentleman remains in an inverted

on the head of Joseph de Koe, while
Pierre stands behind and cautions
Whisky to keep stiff upper lip and an

An Attorney Of the People.

Rev. W. B. Riley's declaration that
he will devote some time in the next
campaign to the election of public
prosecutor who will enforce the laws
raises the question, "Whom does he

The enforcement Of the ordinances
of the city is in the hands of the city
attorney, of the criminal laws Of the
state in the hands of the county. attor-
ney, Of the criminal laws Of the United
States in this state in the hands of the
United States district attorney. Only
one of these officials, namely, the coun-
ty attorney, is elective by the people.
The federal attorney is appointed by
the president, the city attorney is
elected by the council. Which one does
he means If he be pointing at the only
elective one, the county attorney, it will
be asked Immediately what laws has
the present county attorney failed to
or refused to enforce7 It is altogether
unlikely he has any quarrel with the
county attorneys office.
There remains the city attorney,
whose office has charge of the prose-
cution Of petty offenses against the
ordinances of the city. It may be that
the city attorney has not been quite as
active in the prosecution of the Of
Tenders against the Sunday liquor law
as Mr.. Riley would like to see him.
If this is the case, he will find it very
difficult to reach that official except
by way of the city council, whose SER
want he is. The city attorney does little
or nothing outside of routine duty I'M
less he knows he is doing the will of
the city council.
This is said not in criticism of any
thing that may or may not have been
done recently in the city attorney 8
office, but on the broad ground that If
the city attorney is servant of the
people it is evident that he should be
directly responsible to the people. The
council has no use for an attorney
charged with miscellaneous public du:
ties. 1t has a use only for business
attorney, one to draw up contracts, and
give the council legal advice on bust
ness matters. It now has, in addition
to that kind of an attorney, general
attorney to whom it has no right, to
the exclusion Of the people who have
no attorney in the sense that the county
has an attorney and the federal dis

missioners have been in favor Of al
elective city attorney and we believe
they were correct in their estimate Of

The Lyceum Is now a full-fedged

credentials from "the administration" at
the opening performance last night.
True, Mayor Jones was unable to appear

the address of welcome, but he sent his
private secretary, Ralph w. Wheelock,
with plenary powers, and peace and good
will was secured in short order" =
Mr.. Wheelock, who is an orator as
Brutus is, spoke briefy, but enthusiastic
cally of the new enterprise. The growth
of the CITY, he said, was we'll illustrated
in the history Of the Lyceum theater
which had been erected years in advance
of the city, but had now become an in
tegral factor of the amusement center Of

disposed, the foyer showing like a favored
corner in a greenhouse. The house was
crowded with an appreciative audience
willing to make every allowance for the
brief interval Of preparation allowed after
the departure of the Ferris people, but
there was no occasion for excuses. Every
thing went off with surprising smooth
