Perpetuation of Memorial Dav.

The suggestion offered thru T h e
> o ur that larger participation
Of the public in the exercises of Me-
mortal Day be encouraged, is approved
in letter received today from Cap
tain Kelley, the adjutant of Haywood
post of the Grand Army at Mortified.
Captain Kelly has taken the correct
view of the matter and gives assurance
that there will be no jealousy on the
part Of the old soldiers if the general
public takes a larger part in the ex-
ercises of Memorial Day. Indeed, he
says: cit is the dearest wish Of our
hearts, and long has been, that the
younger generation might become inter-
ested in the beautiful custom which
has prevailed since the war of strewing
with flowers the graves of our dead
comrades.' He thinks it would slim
ulate to higher order of patriotism,
and this is in reality the prime object
to be served in handing over the lar
ger share of the responsibilities and
duties of Memorial Day to the younger
generation. -.

Tariff, Barbarlsms; Reasons for the Alb

in the February Century says:
The tariff on art cannot be defended by
any Of the customary arguments Of an
economic sort. It is not desired by those
whom it protects; it accomp1ishes
nothing in the upbuilding of our indus
tries; it does not result in the ultimate
.cheapening of something to the consumer;
and thousands Of protectionists desire it's
abolition. # such an absurdity could be
conceived as the protection Of our por-

foreigners from plying their brushes

Minneapolis in 1905.

A high degree of confidence prevails
among business men in this city,. By
common consent the outlook in bust
ness sense in Minneapolis, for 1905, is
better than it has been at any time for
more than decade. Indeed, it is
doubtful if there ever prevailed a
stronger feeling of confidence in the
commercial strength Of this city than
is now generally entertained. There
are evidences on every hand of the sub
stantial and solid growth of the city.
In many ways Minneapolis is taking on
a more metropolitan character. The
general prosperity, which has come to
the northwest in a larger degree during
the past few years than to almost any
other section Of the north, is producing
it's legitimate effect on this city, the
commercial and financial center of the
northwest. One Of the indications re-
Gently set out in figures is the remark
able increase in bank clearings, bring
ing Minneapolis into the twelfth place
among cities Of the country. A fact
appreciated locally is the lack of &C
commodations for business enterprises
seeking a foothold here, and the ne
cessity of charging these facilities, in
order to meet the existing demand.
he Journal presents facts today
regarding an important increase in
trackage facilities very much needed.
A survey of the building situation re-
veals the fact that in response to the
existing demand at least million and
quarter of commercial building is
| already determined upon and much of
it contracted for.
Things like these evidence the con-
fidence Of business men in the future
of this city and justify the belief that
the values Of real property are destined
to advance. Comparison of prices in
this city with those in other cities
shows that real estate is lower here
than in most other cities Of the same
size, much lower than in many having
less promising prospects commercially.
In fact there is apparent now "a sub
stantlal stiffening of prices, an evil
dence of stronger confidence in the
future Of real property.
This is: not confined to real estate
men, who are generally bulls in the
real estate market, Or to present hold
ers, but it has led to recent heavy invest
ments by local capital in local property.
That this form of investment is likely
to become more popular in the near fu-
ture is supported by all the facts of the
situa ton.

Reforming the PlayWrights.

Mr.. Charles Frohman, he of the the
atrical trust, declares his intention to
produce no more plays which hold
Americans up to ridicule. Every Amer
lean must be noble, strong and full Of
surprising mental capabilities on Mr..
Frohman g stage. All his American
women will be as lovely as can be and
none Of them will marry but for love
and none of them will be disappointed
in their choice. -. ,s-l%@ - III.
This will naturally follow from the
impeccability of the American gentle
man as Mr.. Frohman's authors will
hereafter paint him. When one goes
to the theater and sees the impossible
American reporter? and the distressing
American pork packer, he is inclined to
sympathize with Mr.. Frohman; but, af-'
ter all, is he rights The stage is

by seeing our brothers shown up as
others see them, or by having such

their own tribe, and to, this tendency
we owe some of the most delightful
portrayals. Nj. Frohman IS rules would

A Socialist Blunder.

Atan East End London socialist meet
ing yesterday, an Englishman delighted
those present by denouncing Gear Mich
olas, Emperor William and King Ed
ward, and proposing that the world rid
itself Of call emperors, thieves and
other loafers.'' This gentleman NAV
have laid himself open to prosecution
for lese majestic and then again he may
not. If he merely meant that the
world should get rid Of emperors, and
also of thieves and other loafers he is
safe in England, for there the emperor
does not exist. Edward is not an en-
peror outside of India. = rs !, =
IF he meant to intimate that either
OF the emperors he named was thief
we shall have to leave him to settle that
with the aggrieved monarch, but we all
know that no emperor or king nowadays
has leisure to be a loafer. The Asso-
ciated Press fairly teens with the do
lngs Of Wilhelm. He is everlastinglv
on the move. He touches nothing that
he does not try to adorn, and there is
nothing he does not touch.
King Edward has made a record of
activity in diplomacy, since his corona
ton, that would have won immortal
fame for a British foreign minister. He
IS credited with having finished up the
Boer war on terms that were 'creditable
to England, and there is no reason to
doubt that the king was the moving
spirit for peace. His visit to France
was the forerunner of the important ar
bitration treaties between two old
time enemies. When he came home.
the diplomats had nothing left to do
but sign the conventions. Great Brit
ain would have paid high honors and
great emoluments to any subject who
brought about such results.
To say that man is loafer because
he occupies hereditary position shows
the low class of ignorance that aflicts
some OF our so-called social agitators.
1t IS easy to say it about man, but it
IS not necessarily true We do not
mean to defend hereditary jobs, but
we do mean to say that any country
which selects and upholds such an. insti-
tuition, as England does, is fortunate
to have her throne occupied by a gen
tleman, a peaceful man, and such a
master OF common sense as King Ed.
