Chopping the Language.

The New York Sun is conducting
campaign Of what Mrs. Malaprop
would call "aspersions upon our parts
Of speech" It declares that New
York people habitually hash the Ian
guage, saying "lor" for law, sssor'
for; saw and so on. Brooklynites double
the offense by leaving the "r' out Of
words where it belongs and inserting it
where it does not belong. Thus they
not only say 'fsor' for saw but "cah'
for car.
In the west the heavy end of the
population says sure for surely and
"cert' for certainly. The western
ofense is largely dictated by fever
ish desire to say the thing as shortly
as possible and be thru with it. The
speech Of the whole country is coming
to be characterized by a thin and
poor vocabulary because Of the habit
of clipping words and making one
word do duty for several ideas. For
example, the word proposition" has
| been sadly overworked. It is made to
stand for proposal, offer statement, a
set Of circumstances, or even an indiv-
idual. Thus a hot proposition may be
an odd argument, a swiftly thrown ball
or a person of evident eccentric qualities.
One of the latest barbarisms is the use
Of the word demean in the sense Of de-
base. The origin of this error is the
association with the word & mean, g but

Street Railway Transfers.

James Dalrymple confessed before
leaving America that the thing which
most surprised him about American
tramways was the transfer SYSTEM He
found, in New York, for example, that
a man could travel almost around the
city on single fare. Such a system
he confessed would be well nigh impos-
sible in Glasgow. Mr.. Dalrymple pos
sibly left America under the impression
that by liberal transfer system the
American, traction companies were Civ
ing the people sonnet hing. No doubt
the street railway managers impressed
him with that. But only a little study
is necessary to show that the American
transfer system is merely substitute
for lower fare Instead of reducing
the rate the com panies benevolently in
crease the length Of the ride. The ad-
vantage Of this over the reduction of
rates, is largely on their side because
everybody does not want two rides for
one fare. Transfers on q fve-cent fare
are much cheaper for~zthe companies
than three-cent fares and no transfers.
So when Mr.. Dalrynple carries home
his impression Of American street rail.
way systems one Of them ought to be
that the companies have been very
shrewd in substituting transfers and
long rides for low fares and short rides

Last Concert Of
The Saugu,test

The closing concert of the sangarfest
given by the Choral union of the Nor
Wegian Lutheran Synod of America at
the Auditorium last evening brought
cut another large. audience, which was
very enthuslastIc IN its demonstrations
similar to that given Wednesday eve
ming, and by, special request contained
one or two of the choral numbers given
at the first concert.
The singing Of the chorus was bet
ter than on Wednesday evening. The
parts were better balanced and there
was little closer attention to detail
and to the direction Of Mr.. Dahle, its
conductor. The best work was done in
the Hallelujah chorus, the Bach choral
and the Paulus Jubelkantaten,' altho
the latter was bit wearisome because
of its repetitions. One of the features
of the evening was the singing of the
incidental solo in the Paulus number

of tune. In the first vocal number
that sung on Wednesday evening they
did not score a marked success, but
upon recall sang bright song, Ole
Olson s Fame yagt, which was very
much better and was sung with spirit.
Miss Olivia Dahl was again a IA

ton of the folk song and her excellent
enunciation. Miss Eleanora Olson sang

and in solo, and her encore number was

WILL BE A FAMILY AFFAIR
Journals Saturday Night Excursion
Down River Is for All.

Plenty of evidence that a Saturday
night river excursion at popular price
is what the public has long been want
ing is accumulating at The Journal
counter, where practical inquiry, re-
sulting in many purchases OF excursion
tickets, has kept the clerks in The
Journals excursion department. busy
supplying the demand during the past
three days. ..-
The prospect of spending an evening
on the Mississippi and of being con-
veyed to and from St. Paul in char
tered cars for 70 cents has appealed to
large class of Minneapolitans whose
week is always filed with business, and
who depend on Saturday night for
something in the way of restorative
recreation.
The fact that the excursionist can
| board chartered cars at First avenue 8
and Washington at o'clock tomorrow
evening, take the steamboat ~. s.. -
| from the Jackson street dock, St. Paul,
at s O'Clock. spend three delightful
hours amid the beauties of the river by
evening, and return to Minneapolis on
the same chartered cars for such small
fare has served to make the excursion
what it was designed to be, essentially
POPULAR
Further inducement, whose effect is
already being felt, is found in the spe-
cial price of fifty cents for children,
many of whom will undoubtedly be
| taken on this family excursion. st.
Paul is also going to be largely repre-
sented, reports from the ST. Paul office
of The Journal, 420 Endicott building,
showing that the rate of fifty cents fof
adults and thirty-ive cents for. chse
dren, made from ST. Paul, promises to
give the excursion the dignity of q
twin city affair.

FIVE GREAT AMERICANS

Fiskes School History of United States.
The names Of five great men stand be-
fore all others in the government under
which we now live: George Washington,
for his services in winning the independ-
ence of the United States and the weight
of wisdom with which he set the new
government in operation; James Madison,
for taking the principal part in the franz
ing of the constitutions; Alexander Hamil-
ton, for persuading the people to adopt
the constitution and for his bold meas
ures. which gave shape and strength to
the federalist party; Thomas Jefferson,
for illustrating the true principles Of
democracy and for the sagacity with
which he conducted the first great change
of party supremacy in 1901; John Marshall,
for his work Of chief justice of the United
States from 1900 to 1885, in Interpreting
the constitution and increasing its elias
ITCHY and strength by his profound judi
cial decisions. These five men, more than
any others, have shaped the whole future
Of American history.

In passing an open switch, the slower

a New Field Of Trade.

Something has been heard from time
to time about the waterpower on the
Rainy river and the prospective devel-
opment of new industrial center at
International Falls. 1t will probably
be surprising, however, to readers of
T h e Journal generally to know. that
during the present year there will be
an expenditure of 100000 made upon
the Harvesting Of the falls of the Rainy
river and the development of one of the
greatest waterpowers on the continent
The development of northern Mime
sofa is proceeding at rapid rate. This
is evidenced not alone by these i'm
portant improvements at international
Falls, but by tho rapidity with which
the country along the line of the Inter
national railroad has been settling up.
The trains on that road are crowded
daily and the census is going to show a
remarkable increase of population IN
that quarter. Minneapolis and st. Paul
have rail connections now tofa point
short distance beyond Blackjack,
above Bemidji. An article published
in this paper today shows that this line
is to be extended at once to the north
bank Of the Big Fork river, which flows
into the Rainy near international Falls.
Between that terminus and the falls
there is distance of about thirty miles
for which as yet no provision has been
made. The road will end in the woods,
whereas at International Falls it will
not only connect with important lines OF
water transportation, but with the
Canadian Northern railroad.
1t would make for the great advan
tage of Minneapolis as a trade center il
this gap could be closed and not only
the trade of International Falls made
accessible to Minneapolis, but that Of
a large surrounding section which Il
sure to increase in productiveness ant
in consuming power. gsi-<a :, -. ..
But the desirability of railroad con
nection clear to Rainy river is furthe
emphasized by the fact that the Du
luth, Virginia 4 Rainy Lake Railwa.
company, running northwest from Du
luth, is heading for the same point, AM
there is evidence to believe that it will
be built at very early date, possibl,,
during the present year. This make
it all the more important to the bust
ness men of Minneapolis that the.
should have access to this new field o
trade without being obliged to go aroun
by Duluth to reach it. The Minnesot
& international railway running fror
Brainerd to the Big Fork belongs t
the Northern Pacific. It seems to b
. up to the Northern Pacific to protect il
, self and the business interests Of tn
twin cities in this new field.

It is no wonder Henry James mourns
the threatened extinction Of the lam
guage. As q purist in speech he is
bound to take notice Of these lapses
and utter note Of warning, but he
does wrong to lay it all to the menac-
ing influence of the newspapers. The
newspapers undoubtedly modify the
English Of most Of the population, since
there is no more universal habit than
the reading Of newspapers, and the
press, it should be observed, maintains a
higher average standard than the
readers. 4.
The main trouble is probably that
the habit Of writing has gone out Of
fashion. The, telephone, the telegraph
and the dictated letter in which the
correspondent writes about as he would
talk are more responsible for slovenly
habits Of expression than the literature
of the day.

What Hanna Thought Of Rockefeller.
Mr.. Rockefeller has not squandered
his income. He has applied it for thir-
ty-fve years to accommodating not only
oil property but real estate, railroad
stock, iron mines, copper mines, any
thing and everything which could be
bought cheap by temporary depressing
and made to yield rich by his able
management. For thirty-fve years he
has worked for special privileges Civ
ing him advantages over competitors,
laid networks around property he
wanted, until he had it surely corralled
and could seize it; for thirty-fve years
he has deprecated values when me-
cessalry to get his prey. And today he
still is busy.

one explanation, that Mr.. Rockefeller

Politics Cropping Out.

The politics Of the Equitable muss
begins to come out. The state superin-

it is claimed his report is not to be Civ

committee composed Of Plat and Odell.
Dire, indeed. must be the straits Of the
organization when they serve to bring
Platt and Odell together as commit

DO 1T AGAIN
err was fresh from the press

The paper was fresh from the press
The neatest ever have seen;
A marvel Of printing, no less,
All errorless, typewhole and clean,
So, heaving sigh Of relief,
halted my hurrying pen;
Abrupt came the voice Of my chief:
.,'That's good. Go and do it again."
Oh, daub 1t, or scribb1e, or till,
Or build, as it seems to you best.
And look for reward where you will,
But dream not fruitfon means rest;
For, sing the most glorious lays,
Or drain the most pestilent fen,
The voice, e'er 1t ceases to praise,
Will bid you go do 1t again.
Old laurels must wither and fall;
Win others, and never demur
That, longing for manger and stall,
Your lot is the lash and the spur.
When Gabriel blows from the skies,
Awakening the ashes Of men,
The workers shall hear as they rise:
well done. Do It over again. =
