days issue. You are certainly making a
move In the right direction in advocating
substitute instead OF trying to abolish
the saloon; 7 do not think 1t necessary or
wise to put the substitute on a charitable
basis, as believe 1t could be made prac-
tically self-supporting from the start,
thereby assuring success. My plan briefly
outlined would be-
First. Organize a stock company, COM
posed Of individuals who would give freely
OF their time and ability to make the conn
pany pay large dividends In results. but
would be satisfied with small cash re-
turns.
Second. The object Of organization to
be for club manufacturing and CONNER
cial purposes.
Third. Install bottling plant to COS:
from $1,000 to $4,000 exclusive Of site and
buildings, to manufacture temperance
drinks.
Fourth. To buy or rent suitable loca-
tfons and equip them with all the at.
fractions OF first-class saloon minus the
Intoxicating liquors, and in their stead
put in a line Of temperance drinks from
the company's plant, then you would
know what you were offering for sale,
and tncidently make good profit to be
applied on running expenses.
It might be advisable to foster other
legitimate attractions in connection with
the club.
Regardless, of Bishop Potter's failure, ]
believe temperance saloon can be run
successfully and great amount Of good
accomplished, especially If individuals
and others like T h eJ ourhal continue
the good work of educating people along
these lines. w. B. West.

THE MASSACRE OF
JEWS IN RUSSIA
NoN-JEwIsH MINNEAPoLITANs
SEEMINGLY NDIFFERENT.
"a Correspondent Asks Why Few
Football Fatalities Attract More At
tention than the Great Tragedy in
Europe.

To the Editor Of The Journal
- would like to have you explain In your
valued paper the apathy and indifference
OF the gentle or non-Jewish population
OF the twin cities to the movement in aid
of the oppressed people of Russia Much
space in your columns is given to the dis
.cussion by professors and students Of the
less than half a dozen fatalities in foot
ball contests in this country during the
season. Yet we hear nothing to
indicate that they take the slightest in
terest in the world drama being enacted
in Russia where dying brood of tyrants
is swimming In the blood Of Its victims.
We Of the old American stock have afore-
time done valiant service In the cause
Of humanity In distant lands, and 1t seems
to me that the present crisis calls for
greater efforts in that direction than any
former situation. Is 1t! of such common
occurrence as to call for no protest, that
the police of Russian city set fire to a
hall in which 900 students were consid-
ering the common veal and watched them
roast to death? Or does our American
student body approve of it?
Z II they are not moved by a desire to
lend hand, then there are those who
might be found to advocate more football
however great the fatalities. Every other
city that I have visited recently has a
popular movement Of large proportions in
aid Of the oppressed of Russia. am glad
to see that the local Jews are alive to
the situation. What is the matter with
the rest Of you?

Who Will Help These Children7

Sunshine wishes coats for four chill
dren, two boys aged 7 and 2 and two
girls, four, and six years old.
Their father has been i'll for some
time and the. money intended to 60 for
the little coats has had to be used
otherwise.
The children had been promised that
they could go down town to see Santa
Claus when he appeared in the store
windows and when their mother told
them they could not go because she
could not get their coats, their disap-
pointment was so great that the mother
could not bear it and so asked Sun
shine to help her make the children
happy. :, 60. ~. Ill sS
They are too small to understand the
difference their fathers illness makes
in the family finances and are heart
broken because they are not to see
Santa Claus and that, perhaps, he may
not come to their house, this year. The
mother is clever with the needle and
could alter any Of the little coats if
necessary. If any one has something
to pass on to these children, please
notify Mrs. Grace Tubbs, Hampshire
Arms. Please do not forget them.
There has been a great deal of sick
ness in the family and the mother, a
delicate, refined little woman, is bear
ing her burdens bravely and cheerfully.
It, was only her children's great disap-
pointment that made her ask Sunshine IS
| assistance for the first time.

RETURN FEATHERS
Chairman Of Maine Commission Says
They Must Obey Laws.

Augusta, Mel. T. Carleton Of Win,
throp. chairman Of the state fish and
game commission, has sent q circular
letter to all the milliners in the state
calling their attention to the law re-
lating to the killing Of birds. After
quoting the statute the Commissioners e
says; In o,,sa,xa that +be law Gov
ers the skin and feathers and parts
therelf, especially Of insectiyorous
ds-gulls, terms, etc. would sug,
pest that milliners can best observe
the spirit and letter of the law by re,
moving from sale all such feathers and
returning them to the wholesalers; and
further, BY refusing to buy such feath-
iers, aigrettes, etc. -
ttIt is our intention to enforce the
Maine bird law, and all persons hav-
inc prohibited birds and feathers in
their possession, whether as Wearers
or dealers. are liable to arrest. Atten-
tion is called to the claim made by GER
tain dealers that their goods, especially
aigrettes, are manufactured, and, there
fore, not prohibited by law. This makes
no difference, If prohibited feathers en-
ter into the manufactured article. The
feathers Of turkeys, ducks, geese, chick
ems. guinea fowl and other domestie
varieties: the feathers from such WILD
birds as the crow, hawk, owl, English
sparrows and other unprotected birds
may be lawfully sold.
fsI shall be pleased to give my op1n'
ion at any time as to whether any par.
ticular feathers come within the scope
of the law.

AYEW YORK, Dec. I'm casting
III about for substitute for the
\ y saloon Minneapolis can find
practical suggestions enough from sue
cessful experiments made in this city,
"the most charitably generous com
munity in the world,'' in spite Of the
stories Of the wretchedness of the poor
in the tenement districts Of the greatest
city on this continent.
New York has a multitude of chart
table enterprises, maintained at an
enormous cost, for helping the needy
and giving practical aid to the worthy.
Food, shelter, instruction and amuse-
ments may be had for the asking and
even technical trade education is free.
An unfortunate needs but to know
where to go to obtain help.
3 But passing by these enterprises, cal
culated especially for the man or
woman who is in actual want, there are
to be found many institutions that are
founded upon the recognition of the
fact that the man without home must
be provided with amusements and en-
tertainment for his leisure hours, else he
will drift to the saloon or the streets.
He is not regarded as an object OF char
ity, neither is religion obtruded, nor
self respect sacrificed.
:, Refined and educated men and women
have gone into the sections of the city
where the poor live and have lived
with them, learning their needs by
actual observation and experience
These social settlements not only care
for the sick, relieve the unemployed
and feed the hungry, but they look
after the young man who has only 8

farer at the cheap hotel or lodging
house, and give him healthful recreation
and good associations. 1872

The Associate Membership.

Do not forget sunshine's associate
membership. The society does not
send out solicitors and its only way Of
obtaining money for its work is thru
it's associate membership and occa-
.sional little entertainments. When any
special need arises, which the, Sunshine
treasury, always low, cannot, meet, q
plea is made in this department, but
often relief must be given at once, SO
the society must have some money to
do it's best work. The dues are only
81 year, SO send your name and dues
to the secretary, Mrs. J. A. Brant, 10
East Fifteenth street, and she will mail
you a membership card.

anxiousst to work her health will not per-
NIT her to tramp around much during
the cold days.
Sunshine wants to send her coal and
the few groceries to supply her needs
this winter. The plan is to raise a fund
of about $50, perhaps less may do, and
we hope the generous ones will help US.
Think how it would be to be- old, sick
and alone in the world and spare a lit

to Solve.
To the Editor of Tho journal.
AS your paper Is ever alert to the in
terest Of the citizens OF Minneapolis and
the northwest generally 1t will certainly
not be adverse to printing both sides of
a story that, Is now agitating the minds
OF many OF the dairymen Of this section.
as well as the board OF health in youl,
own city.
It is that which relates to the TESTING
of dairy cows for tuberculosis in herds
where milk is shipped to Minneapolis
The dairymen in this section are not 50
adverse to the testing Of their cows to
ward OH this dread disease as to know
Just what action the city council Of your
city Will take to keep a record of the
tested herds and the efficiency OF thei,
work. There are many features Of this
project that look to the average farmer
as tho there would be much red tape to
follow which your board of health had
not figured upon. We will take for ex-
ample a farmer who has herd of twenty
or more cows tested by licensed veteri-
marian tomorrow&and is granted permits
sion to sell milk In Minneapolis He goes
out on the day following and purchases
another cow that is not tested from a
neighbor, and her milk goes into the cans
with the others. What will the board Of
health do about this? The farmer has
his license to sell and the one COW, that
! may perhaps be affected with tubercu-
| losis, contaminates the milk from the
entire herd.
| Now the work Of testing should be done
every year to be done effectively, and
! with the constant change of shippers and
cows in every dairyman's herd 1t looks
as tho there was great task before the
local board Of health. wal not the pas.
teurizing Of milk destroy il all disease
germs? We believe It will. Why wouldn',
lit be an easier task for the board OF
health to demand that local dealers Ii
milk pasteurize their milk before deliy-
cry. The stopping OF the present shippers
!, will only result in the conditions men
toned above unless the board Of health
has other plans up its sleeve for the keep
ing up of this work that has up to dat.
been kept from the shippers.

cottages to help on the work. She in
terested every one in Lindstrom, also,
and the generous contributions that
came in during the summer in response
to her appeal were great help. The
past summer she went to the cottages
again and when several Of the kind
farmers offered garden stuff and milk
if some one would come for them, "Mrs.
Wiggs' was always the one to 20 and
at times, too, when she was far from

to the cottages for her weeks OUTING
with barely sufficient clothing to cover
her. Our "Mrs. Wigs talked lit

IRENE poverty, and started out to her
old helpers, the neighbors. She told
them there was a girl in the cottage
greatly in need Of clothing, and in a
few hours she returned with dresses, I'M
derclothing, shoes, hat and everything
the girl would need for some time. The
girl was dazed with delight for a few
moments, then asked, Oh, do you think
Heaven can be any nicer than thiss 80
During the summer she collected
clothing and money, but not once did
she ask for anything for herself. She
seems to be satisfied to do for Others.
Thanksgiving day she was given a
mallard duck and a basket Of groceries
and delicacies for her dinner. A Sun
sinner asked her if she did not know Of
