OF a loG OF independent movements Tor
civic and moral reform. We are more
inclined to this view because we
believe the mayor has at heart the good
of the city quite as much as those who
have thought it wise to go in advance
of him in seeking to secure the enforce
ment of the law.
That the question Of control of the
liquor traffic is one of expediency is
conceded by every man who does not
believe in the saloon. but who at the
same time adheres to the policy of high
license as against that of prohibition.
No man who takes any other view has
any right, if he is not the friend Of the
saloon, to be other than an out-and-out
prohibitionist.
Mayor Jones is in a position to know
more about what is best for the city Of
| Minneapolis in this matter of saloon
| regulation, than any other man in it,
and we are inclined to think is quite as
! much disposed to favor what is best
for the city of Minneapolis as any man
in it. So far as we recall, he has never
yet indicated publicly or officially or
| in any other manner what his ultimate
attitude toward the Sunday saloon may
be. He came into office confronting
| condition Of things which the better
sentiment of this city could not but
condemn. Accepting that situation, he
has undertaken to make the best of it
and we are quite sure that intelligent
and well-informed Judgment on the
question will agree that he has made a
vast Improvement during the eight
months that he has been in office, great
er, indeed, than we had any right to ex-
pect, altho not greater than was gen
orally hoped for.
While, as The Journal has al
ready said, it is the privilege of the
Home Protective league, or people of
no league, if they see fit, to take such
action as seems to them wise to eradi-
cate the Sunday saloon, we are still of
the opinion that this whole matter
would better be left in the hands Of the
mayor. The better, sentiment of the
community having been organized with
Mayor Jones as captain, it seems wisest
to leave the command in his hands.
| We do not recall any successful cam
paign where high privates and corporals
have undertaken to conduct campaigns
of their own, independent Of the main
body of the troops, where they have
been permanently successful. We re-
peat, it is the privilege of any organ.
ization or Of any Individual to appeal
to the law if he sees fit. He is en-.
titled to his own Judgment as to the
probable permanent value Of his effort
At the same time, we do not believe
that this kind of action, having unques
tionably a tendency to embarrass and
perhaps to some degree to discredit the
man whom the better sentiment Of the
community has chosen for the response
BILE position Of mayor, can have any
other effect that to make it practically
impossible in the future to induce any
man of the right character and right
capacity to undertake the office which
Mr., Jones assumed with great reluc
lance. il, &.

ADJUSTMENTS
The orpheum-Modern Vaudeville,

hS VduuSSllSs
Better offerings mark the Orpheum bill
this week. There is wide variety of
acts, and almost all of them are good.
NO one OutshineS the others and all are
dlverting and entertaining. There are
music dancing, athletics and trained ami
NAL work of more than the usual merit.
The program is notable more for it's
mirth- provoking tendencies than it's art,
and there are few seconds when the seat
holders are not getting their moneys
worth of care-killing laughter. Schepp's
dogs and ponies, the curtain-raisers, are
well trained and tho the act is rather
longer than the adults care for, it makes
a tremendous hit with the youngsters.
Talbot and Rogers, jokers, introduce
some new gags and many old ones but all
Of them "go'' with the crowd. Linden
Beckwith has brought new turn to
vaudeville in the Singing Portrait" the
idea being similar to that Of the Marcel
figure studies, so popular a few years
ago. The house is darkened and when
the lights flash on the center Of the stage
they disclose a Gainsborough girl of
great beauty, who sings 1.-THE Dashing
White Sergeant in pleasing voice. The
second shift shows the same girl in
Irish garb who wins warm applause by
singing 1.-THE Minstrel Boy" The last
song was 'Take Me, jamie Dear with
the singer IN kits. 1t Is a clever con-
ceit and will prove popular in, the strong
holds of vaudeville.
BERTHE Fowler, who hasn't lost a pound
in five years, is giving her imitation of
EST. Joseph, Mo-, jag" with all of it's
old-time energy. She made one of the
hits of the evening with the "story of the
souse" and limitations of kindergarten
children. Bert Leslie and Robert Daley
are putting on ''Going Abroad" a hodge
podge of slang and foolishness of suffi-
cient brightness to keep the crowd in an
uproar. A dancing turn by Miss Emery
helps the act with telling effect. Dave
Genaro and Ray Bailey furnish strenuous
amusement with "a Cigarette Case,' the
most pleasing feature Of the skit being
the dancing of the principals at the close
of the act: The De Koe trio do creditable
hand and head balancing, introducing in
the windup a French poodle who sits
upon the head Of one of the trio and ap-
parently sustains upon his head the
weight Of the youngest member Of the
trio on headstand. The kinodrome
closes the show with a series of fantastic
camera freaks. j. H. Richie.

SOUTHERN BLOOD TOLD
LITTLE ELEANOR WAS OVER
JOYED TO GET ON TRAIN FOR A
WARMER CLINE.

Eleanor was born in Southern Texas
near the Mexican border. Her first
impressions were those Of the balmy
south and the zephyrs that tell of the
"sunshine and the palm trees and the
tinkly temple bells" became dear and
associations Of her infancy. Her early
life was peaceful and she was content
with existence.
! .'Then there came a change, as all
things human change.' Her mother
deserted her and, homeless orphan,
she was taken charge Of by kind
southern gentleman: Still Eleanor
knew no real hardship. Her guardian
ter, decided to give his W gard to A
son avenue N, Minneapolis, and the
young charge was sent, against her
will, into the Enorth countree.'
From the day Of her arrival in Min
neapolis,s Eleanor showed signs Of dis
satisfaction, but did not complain. She
vas was Il: treated kindly, but the Hocum
charge and her despondency did not
please them. When the cool nights
came the little orphan shivered and
skunk away by herself into the warmest
corner she could find, and was often
found quietly crying softly to herself.
She was Enthusiastically homesick.
| Inc H0cum'S hnally gave up trying
to make her happy and gave her over
into the care Of w. H. Adams, who
gladly adopted her into his big family.
Even the CHEEKY atmosphere of her
new home did not make Eleanor forget
the sunny south, for which she pined
continually.
One day two Minneapolis gentlemen
visited the Adams home and Immediate
~ became interested in Eleanor. They
inquired into her history and finally
asked Mr.. Adams if they could adopt
her. They said that they were going
south. They had bought a plantation
in Virginia and felt sure that they
could make Eleanor happy. At last
Mr.. Adams agreed to give up his
charge.
The day of leaving came. Eleanor
was taken to the station. She said
nothing, but looked pleased when she
saw the train and broke away from he1
new guardians, ran forward, jumped
upon the platform and for the first time
since her arrival in Minneapolis, gave
a happy bark. Eleanor, a great dane

TO the Editor OF The Journal
In your paper of recent date appeared
a short editorial paragraph criticising
attempts to "embarrass the city admin
istration," and presumably aimed at the
efforts Of the Home Protective League
and the Anti-Saloon League to close the
saloons on Sunday.
The writer is not connected with
either of these movements and is not
personally acquainted with those who
are doing this work, but it would seem
to me that a simple effort to enforce the
plain laws of the state should meet with
the unqualified approval Of a great
paper like Il Il e Journal, and I as
sure you that you have thousands of
readers who dislike very much the in
ference evidently to be drawn from
these editorial items and would much
prefer to have you come out and say
that you disapproved such efforts, if
that is the way you feel about it. q
There has been very much to com
mend about the present administration
Of Mayor Jones, and if he cannot see
his way clear to enforce the Sunday
laws, he should not object-and doubt
it he does object-to those who do be-
ieve in their enforcement, taking the
proper steps to close the saloons on Sun.
day. C. P. Cooper.
Inc particular paragraph to which the
writer probably takes exception was the
following:
What right have we as good citizens tc
expect good men to accept the office OF
mayor If we persist in doing things which
enbarrass that kind Of man in his ad
ministration of the office? He may no
accomplish all that some of us would like
to see done or think ought to be done
but he is up against the problem of what
is best for the community and If we inter
fere with the CARRYING out Of his plans
to that end. we have no right to expect
him or anybody like him to banker after
the mayors job in the future.
After further consideration we are
inclined to stand by that paragraph. Il
seems to have been inferred that r he
Journ a had reference to the present
Sunday closing movement Of the Home
Protective League, and perhaps that's {
fair inference. Conceding that it is
we are still inclined to think that more
is to be gained by following the leal

Biiou-11In Old kentucky.V

One. of the surprises in store for the
ater-goers this winter is the renewed
and rejuvenated Bijou tneater. The
handsome little Washington avenue play
house has been entirely refinished and
redecorated from top to bottom. A mag
nifcent new curtain in rich, attractive
colors, replaces the old one, which rep
resented two bellies of the vintage of
1884 in a scow, playing tag with flock
of swans. The new curtain, which is
from the brush Of w. P. Davis, the local
scenic artist is much more pleasing in
design and is exceptionally artistic in ex-
ecution.
The predominating colors in the new
decorations are Italian vermiliOn, cream
white and gold. The large flat surfaces
in the lobby, foyer and auditorium are
paneled in red with artistic borders and
decorations in the white and gold. The
heavy rocco decorations about the
proscenium and boxes and gallery are
beautifully brought out by the gold and
white with which they have been decor
ated. New carpets and draperies, new
lights and hundreds Of incandescents
complete the effect.
Nothing new can be said of that an

is well chosen and capable. The scenery

of the live stock, four horses, a rooster
and two hens, are slightly worn, but look
good for another season. The Woodlawr

wonderIand In Fair week

E Twin City Wonderland, the big amuse-
ment park on East Lake street. will at
tract almost as much attention this week
when the city is filled with state fair
visitors as the fair itself. Nearly all its
features are absolute novelties to this
section. It's scenic railway, airship
swing, the old mill, shoot the chutes,
bump the bumps, fairy theater, minia-
ture railway, the infant incubator exhibit,
myth city, house Of nonsense, crystal
maze, the laughing gallery, carrousel
and a dozen or more minor attractions
are grouped about broad promenade
called The Bowery.
At night $4,000 incandescents, fifty
arc lights and a searchlight dazzle the
eye. There is an electric tower 120 feet
high, studded with 1000 incandescents.
An airship swing with a thousand lights
resembles a huge electric umbrella. "A
miniature lake and the incline of the

as free attractions. There Is nothing

lished in paper covers by the Macmillan
company, he tells what is the purpose of
the socialists in a way to make him who
has not followed the movement gasp a
few .gasps. For instance, he says:
And far be it from me to deny that socialism
is a menace. 1t is its purpose to wipe out, root
