THE PORTLAND EXPOSITION

There is apparent an indisposition
islature to make any provision for
state representation at the Lewis and
Clark exposition, which is to be held at
Portland during the coming summer
The experience of the state in the past
in making contributions to expositions
has not always been happy, but it is
likely that the lawmakers are deferred
from making an appropriation to this
particular exposition rather by a desire
to economiZe than for any other rea-
son. 1t would be well, however, to
consider the merits of the proposition
on its own bottom before declining to
accept the invitation of the state of
Oregon to be represented in the expo
sition.
Putting aside the sentimental claims
that Lewis anG Clark have upon all the
peoples of the Northwest-and those
claims are considerable-can Mime
sofa afford to be absent from the list
of states represented at the exposition?
1t is now, and will be, vastly to our
benefit to remain on the best possible
terms with the north coast states. Our
commerce with Oregon is very large
1t will be larger. Year by year we are
cutting down the barrier that nature
reared between the Northwest and the
coast states. We must have a close
working understanding with the people
of those states, and anything that can
be done to promote the good feeling
between Minnesota and Oregon Will re-
suit in substantial returns to both.
We are competitors only in the sense
that we are each striving to get the
better share of what falls to us in the
way OF immigration and investment
money, If Oregon and Washington
grow great Minnesota will grow great
er.
1t will be we'll for the legislature to
consider these things to the end that
economy may not be carried to the ex-
tent of parsimony. 1t is the proper
function of the state to appropriate
moneys for the welfare of the whole
people. 1t has been shown us that
money wisely spent in demonstrating
the desirability of Minnesota as place
of residence has brought substantial
returns. 1t pays to advertise. Some
expositions are better advertising me-
diums than others, and there is reason
to believe that the Portland fair will be
of the class that Minnesota can use
with profit. In any event it would be
well to remember that the state cannot
afford to turn the cold shoulder on
Oregon.

LATE NEWS

The story that the emperor of all the
Russias has just learned the full par
ticulars of the Sunday massacre in St
Petersburg through a bundle of Ger
man newspapers thoughtfully for
warded to him by the kaiser will hard
ly be appreciated by the American
public. With the newsboys calling
extras on every business corner in
the cities of this country, the citizen
over here has the comfort of knowing
not only that he is kept in close touch
with the life of his own town and
country, but of remote lands as well.
And he is apt to waste little sympathy
on the weakened ruler who allows
the bureaucracy to stifie the voice of
the press and who then bewails the
fact that he receives news of occur
rences that are of the greatest moment
to him only several weeks after they
take place.
A newspaper extra would really be
an excellent thing in the land of the
car. Were these evidences of modern
progress permitted to flourish, and had
Nicholas sufficient courage and en-
terprise to arrange for the delivery to
him of copies the instant they were
on the street, he might be a sadder,
but he would undoubtedly be a wiser
man. Consider the information about
himself that he would obtain in return
for the modest expenditure of a. penny
or. at the most, two cents. Had he, for
instance, on that historic Sunday been
able to step to a rear door of the pal
ace and purchase from some shrieking
news vender the --latest edition." that
gave all the particulars of the dis
graceful tragedy, together with the
views Of prominent citizens. he would
have been up and doing long ago for
the purpose of bettering the condition
of his people.
1t is bad for the Russian people that
the newspapers should be muzzled, but
it is infinitely worse for the car. In
sending that bundle of German news
papers to his fellow emperor, the
kaiser showed a sad lack of tact, but
he also showed that he was thoroughly
cognizant of the power of the press
and its ability to show the individual
to himself as others see him. Doubt
less the ruler of Germany has himself
obtained some valuable pointers"
from perusing the columns of the op-
position press. 1t would be well for
Nicholas if he took the hint contained
in the gift sent him by the Hohen-
zollern.

THE GOING OUT OF ADDlcKs

Addicks, of Delaware, is down and
that effect to be spread in order to get
away from the big guns that have been
ranged upon him for some years. 1t is
conceivable that the man who has
done so much to demoralize a state is
financially and physically broke For
years he has been under a tremendous
strain. Carrying an immense and pre-
cariously balanced financial load, he
has permitted his ambitions to inter-
fere with the dictates of his judgment.
He devoted too much time to his polit-
fcal fences and did not pay enough at
tention to the attacks that have been
made on the pile he was known to
have segregated in the marts of high
finance. He bought too many gold
bricks, financial and political, and the
end of him was discounted by the wise
ones long ago. when it became certain
that he was in desperate political
straits.
The failure of Addicks to attain am
bitions by reprehensibie practice shows
that the times are not so rotten as the
pessimists would have us believe The
man was undoubtedly shrewd-too
shrewd. His rise was rapid He made
a figure in financial affairs in spite of
the opposition of sharp men ana rich
men. He knew men and values. He
had a beautiful sense of the possibili-
ties of System" applied to finance. He
created wealth out of nothing, but he
had not the genius to provide for the
stability of his creation. He did not
know when to unload, and his financial
end must have been ruinous in the long
run If he had kept out of politics.
But it was politics that was the un-
doing of him. He could meet and cope
with the men who We're willing to fight
for his money and not averse to Civ
ing him a run for it. But the politicaI
harpy had him at a disadvantage.
With all his sharpness in the money
market, Addicl<s was a veritable gull
in politics. He was dragged through
campaigns and bled for hundreds of
thousands by men who could not have
borrowed ten dollar bill from him
on financial proposition. The gang
that feeced him for years stung him to
death at the finish.
Addicks was almost a genius in
finance, but he measured up to the
sucker of the vernacular in politics.

been or is being drawn Early in the
season there was staged in London a
play written by the great dramatist,
Gilbert, who is past the allotted three
critics have declared that it is one of
the best pieces OF work the dramatist
has ever done. But it is a waste of
space to mention examples since there
are so many distinguished ones that
the public can easily discover for itself.
So far as creative work is concerned,
certainly, the past and the present both
prove that the old man is not useless.
When physical work is demanded, it
is natural enough that he who makes
the selection should choose the young
man rather than the old, and it is true
enough that the unemployed old suffer
through this discrimination. But age
is not altogether matter of years.
The man who keeps himself in condi-
ton, who refuses to admit that
younger Ildn Is DGlttT lue3l
he, has no reason to fear deadline of
years, for none exists for him. There
are young old men and old young men,
and in a choice between the two the
former is invariably given the prefer
ence
The college professor who made the
pessimistic statement is himself, it is
said, close on to sixty. Perhaps he is
anxious to shirk the part of the worlds
work that has been assigned to him to
do. Perhaps he is cautiously feeling
his way toward lazy retirement. 1t
is not probable, however, that he will
frighten those young old men of sixty
who love work for the works sake and
who intend to keep on working until
the final summons comes.

vANDALs AND THE NEW CAPITOL

every object that attracts public Gu

notorious criminal or a chip from q

that represents costly DETACHMENT. And
so petty is each apt to be that it es-
capes the eyes of the most watchful.
Thievery is comparatively easy to
guard against in a public building
where objects of value are heavy and
cumbersome, but this abuse of public
property perpetrated by the curio COL
lector is insidious and especially diff

costly chandeliers at the new state

Americans have been accused of ir-
