to his sympathy with the ideas of free

when the serfs We're liberated in the

1t is time this sort Of thing was

to discourage it.
1t is easy to get either cranks or

business men know, it is difficult to
get honest and capable men in whom
the public cam have absolute confidence
to become candidates, and even harder
to elect them.

ADJUSTMENTS
Thronus at Wonderland,

Out-of-town visitors are about as eager
to see Wonderland as they are the state
fair. Some arrived at the park yesterday
as early as am. In the afternoon there
was a steady stream which in the evening
increased to numbers that the streetcars
could not accommodate. The attendance
for the day was in the neighborhood Of
10000 The Northwestern Furniture and
Manufacturers association entertained
800 visiting furniture dealers at the park.
Wonderland, especially at night, makes a
most favorable impression upon visitors.
The beautiful electrical Illumination, the
animated scenes along the Bowery and
the novelty Of the twenty-odd amusement
features. combine to make the park some
thing of a revelation to those who have
not seen it before. Over 10000 rode on
the scenic railway alone and the other de-
vices and diversions had a proportion
ately large patronage. The infant in
cubator exhibit is an especial object Of
interest and it was thronged to the limit.
There is a program of free attractions, in
Guiding Lind's high dive, the tumbling Of
| the Namba Family Of Japanese acrobats,
Mae HaTrison's slide for life and Pains
| fireworks at night. Concerts by the Jour-
/ nal Cadet Band are another pleasing
feature The band gives a down town
parade each evening at $50 o'clock.

Conflicting Social Ideals.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Referring to the question of enforcing
the laws against the saloons, demo-
Gratic or popular government, like our
own, depends on the people. In other
words the people are the government, and
the kind or quality of government we
Of the people. In considering the saloon
question, two ideals stand out clear and
well defined. One represents the home,
which Is conceded by all thoughtful per-
sons to be the cornerstone Of the nation.
Included in this ideal Is thought for the
welfare Of children, the incubation in
youth and middle age Of habits Of thrift,
sobriety and virtue, and an effort at
some adequate provision against old age.
The other, or saloon ideal, Is directly
the opposite. 1t has been the same thru
all ages; it Is the same now as in the
past, when by reason Of it's preponder-
ance, Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt and
Rome all passed from the worlds stage
as nations destroyed thru vice and drink.
In so far as the saloon ideal preponder-
ates, just to that extent is there sure
to be canlzer in the body social and po-
litical. When it takes the lead and die
tates, then that community or that ma
ton is approa ching dissolution.
1 believe the protection of our homes, ano
all that that includes, demands the en-
forcement Of every law we at present
have touching the saloon business, and
the entire adjustment of the business as
soon as 1t can be brought about, and that,
too, in the not distant future. IF. F.
