Perplexity in Russia.

There is saying that "a woman who
hesitates is lost," and even a car, who
is pulled hither and thither in indeci-
sion, is counting disaster. There is con-
fusion in Russia. The car fears inte-
rior conditions which are charged with
high explosives and new plottings of
militant nihilism, whose watchword is
the destruction Of existing authority
The car himself, who graciously per-
mitted the assembling of the zemstvo
congress to formulate reform program,
found that the people were disposed to
90 far beyond any liberal program he
himself had conceived, and he is wrest-
ling now, as between his ministers NJ.
Witte and Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky,
over the limitation or expansion Of his
own reform program.
While this delay is brewing an ugly
storm, the car is himself tanning the
incipient whirlwind by fproclaiming that
there shall be no limitation Of his au-
tocracy, altho in his own program of re.
form he found himself unable to avoid
some limitations unavoidable In any re.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Revival In Wales.
To the Editor of The Journal.


In your timely and interesting editorial
of the 7th, Expected Religious Awaken
ing,' you attribute the beginning Of the
wonderful Welsh revival to the Rev. R..
A. Torrey formerly a Congregationalist
minister of Minneapolis. This is scarcely
true, if the English papers, including the
British Weekly, the Daily News and 9TH
er papers which I receive, are to be ac-
cepted as correct. Mr.. Torrey did good
work in England and Scotland, but the
present marvellous revival is, humanity
speaking, due to the preaching of Evan
Roberts, who was born in Longhor, Wales,
in 1875 His parents were poor and he
was first a. miner, then blacksmith, and
at the commencement Of last year, he en-
tered the grammar school,, NEWCASTLE
Emlyn, to prepare for the Calvln1st1c
Methodist ministry. The London papers
say he has no oratorical or intellectual
powers, but is sincere and earnest, and
has an extraordinary spiritual power. He
breaches the love of Christ and he has a
distaste for the pulpit His black hair and
eyes are ordinary, but the light of his eye
is extraordinary. 1t is said that the sing
ing Of Misses Davis and Miss Jones adds
very much to the success Of the meetings.
General Booth, representatives or the
British Weekly, the Methodist papers, the
Christian Commonwealth, the Daily News,
and w. T. Stead and ether prominent men
have been. to Wales to investigate the
mira culous things which are occurring in
the villages and cities Of Wales. Thou
sands have been converted and the re-
viva1 spreads. To read the accounts OF
the revival in the London daily papers is
far better reading than any fiction, and
often more strange. Your Endorsement ot
Bishop McCabe's call Is excellent.

Start the Junkets Now.

Both houses of the state legislature
are merely marking time. The. delay
in the report of the statute revision
commission is one reason for the idle
ness, but the same condition is always
noticed during the early days of the
session. Beyond the introduction of q
few bills, nothing of consequence IS
usually done until the session is half
over.
Why not have the junkets now and
be done with them7
The Iowa legislature does not at
tempt to do any business during the
first ten days except the organization.
The rest of the time is occupied in Wis
iting the state institutions and becom-
ing familiar with their management
and needs. The Minnesota legislature
has wasted considerable time already,
and it is too late to adopt the Iowa
plan, but some Of the numerous junket-
Ing tours might as we'll be taken this
week and next, while waiting for the
revision report. According to the usual
custom, these trips are delayed until
the middle or latter part Of the session
. when there is much important business
on the docket, and the attendance of
every member is needed. For some
weeks there will be dozen or twenty
members Of each house absent at every
session, inspecting some state institu
ton.
The Iowa plan is rational and time
saving, and ought to be adopted by flu
ture legislatures. 1t is possible to eff
feet a ten-day adjournment by joint
resolution of the two houses, and il
that recess the necessary distractions
ought all to be attended to-. Meanwhile
the present Legislature can still dispose
Of some of the tri ps and save time thai
will be needed later in the session.

however, would have to be framed to an

fund the duty, on satisfactory proof by
the importer that the wheat is to be
Mr.. Tawney believes a bill Of this
character, framed as an emergency
measure to be limited in it's operation
to a certain period, say until June IL Of
the present year, would be favorably re-
ported from the ways and means COM
mittee, and that it would pass both
houses.
Secretary Shaw will send recommen-
dation for this legislation to congress in

ernors in all states never were more
meaty nor Of more general interest than
they are this year. The last campaign
having been nearly non-partizan, the
scope for business discussion of bust

measurably. Happily the leading states
this year chose as their chief execu
tives men who could rise to the occa

n. SECURITIES HAS
BRILLIANT FINISH
SPECTATORS WHO SOLD IT ARE
THOROLY DISGUISED.
Only Two Men in Minneapolis Had the
Faith to Hold on and They Are Rich
ly Rewarded-The Stock Sold Today
from 139A to 146-Great Northern
Up.

Probably no more disguised crowd Of
stock market spectators ever watched
the New York market than was to be
seen in local brokers' offices this morn
ing, taking a long distance view of the
rise Of Northern Securities from 1894
to LAG. Minneapolis men were among.
the most active spectators in merger
stock early in it's history. Thru the
ups and downs that carried it from par
to ll6, back to par, up to liz and back
to S43s, they were in and out. At first
all believed in the stock and were bulls.
Masn tas gfe st sb ht ag bsea she
bears, with Indifferent success. More
''f There e w er With these spectators, va.
rious wealthy Minneapolitans, who
never speculate and who bought blocks
OF the stock outright, paying cash for it
and putting it into their strong boxes.
When the stock, rallying from the
great depression that forced it to S43s,
just before the supreme court decision
OF last April, again passed par, many
sold out. Some let 90 at los, more at
ITO. A few lots were carried to 125,
and when the stock crossed that mark
there were only two men in Mime
apolis that had any. These two old
faithfuls held on like grim death, thru
all vicissitudes, and are thousands to
the good today.
TO buy and hold Northern Securities
was million-dollar tip, but Minneap-
oils traders, as close in as any, failed
to grab it.
How many millions J. J. Hill and the
big men made, no one can tell. When
the stock passed 1922, today, it could
be figured that the $S7,00O,OO0 of
Northern Securities held by the Harri-
man interest, showed appreciation equal
TO $3o,ooo,OO0. With this came the re-
port, that seemed reasonable, that both
Hill and Hartman are satisfied, and
that no more suits may be expected.
Northern Securities must now dis
solve into its original elements, but
these elements show wonderful increa so
IN earning power. Northern Securities
stock IS in itself worth nothing intrin-
sically, but it represents shares in
Northern Pacific and Great Northern,
which have advanced by jumps, Great
Northern selling today to 253, the high
Fest figure ever known in it's history.

Frank and Unblushing.

The way senatorial contests are run
in New York is exemplified by an in
terview given reporter by T. G. Platt,
just before the caucus ballot. Talking
of the situation the senator said: eyes,
I am taking an active part, as I have a
right to. Governor Odell is taking an
active part as he has no right to under
his pledged word.'
Platt then went on to explain that he
had always favored the election of De-
pew, that during the campaign they had
both gone to Odell to consult about the
senatorship. The governor took these
two aged men into his private office and
told them he wanted their assistance
AS Platt tells it: ''There were certain
sums Of money which he desired me tt
raise and there were certain sums OF
money which he desired Depew tt
raise" The! upshot was that the two
senators agreed to go out and bring i1
the coin provided Odell would remain
neutral in the senatorial fight.

Drainage System Needed.

Representative Coles bill setting
aside $4,000 for drainage survey Of
northern Minnesota is measure that
should have been adopted ten years ago.
Much money has been wasted in ill-di-
rected efforts. Swamps have been
drained into streams that were already
Overlooking other sections. Water has
been drained from swamps to overflow
farming lands.
The fault was not so much in the
drainage commission, as in the law,
which made them dependent on hearsay
evidence in deciding where and how to
construct drainage bitches. If the con-
templated survey had been made before
a dollar was spent on bitches, the money
expended would all have gone for prac-
teal purposes.
The drainage work Is just begun.
There are 100000 acres Of state land
to be reclaimed from swamp in the
northern counties, and by all means the
first step to be taken is to make a sur
vey of this territory and secure re-
port, giving the location and direction
of the main bitches needed to drain the
land. The great area to be surveyed
is largely along the watershed, from
which flow streams southwark into the
Mississippi, eastward into the st. Louis
river and the Great Lakes system, and
northward into the Rainy and thence
to Hudson bay. The land has SO little
fall that the water stands the year
round. Manifestly the drainage of this
territory is a matter for careful en-
cheering.
The work of this survey does not
conflict with further drainage work in
the Red River valley and other Older
sections Of the state, where surveys
have now been made and bitches cal
be mapped out intelligently.
The adoption of this system will NEAR
much for northern Minnesota. It will
result in report to the legislature two
4 years from now, on which the actua
work of retaining the vast swamps il
ST. Louis, Itasca, Cass and Beltram
counties can be intelligently taken up

The Legislative Inquiry.

1t is q noticeable fact that the twin
cities are not represented on the legis-
lative commission which is about to in
vestigate the railroad rate problem.
Of the seven members one is from Du-
luth, and the other six from smaller
cities and villages.
While the bulk Of the complaint
against present rates has come from the
smaller towns Of the state, it is mis-
take to suppose that Minneapolis and
st. Paul are not vitality interested in
the same direction. The Importance Of
the twin cities as distributing centers
would be increased by a reduction in
merchandise rates putting this center on
a more equal footing with Chicago.
Lower rates on grain would mean much
to Minneapolis as milling center and
terminal grain point.
The twin cities will be heard from,
and the final work Of the commission
will have to go before the entire legis-
lature for review, so that the rights Of
the cities have not been foreclosed.
There is no necessary conflict between
large and small cities over this problem.
AS Governor johnson pointed out in his
message, the continued prosperity Of the
large cities means much to the welfare
of the farmers of Minnesota, who are
benefited by convenient market. So
it is not because the commission Is like.
ly to be unfriendly in it's attitude to-
ward the cities, but that the city and
country might work in harmony toward
solution of the rate problem, that the
omission of city members is pointed out
It would do no harm to enlarge the
commission.
