Mcost Of tho Bio stiok.u

Those credulous persons who have
been deceived by the dulcet story that
the Philippines do not cost us anything
and never will ought to read an edi-
torial in the Washington Post on the
subject Of Japan's probable future ac-
tions. 1t lays down the rule that if we
retain those islands and at the same
time desire to preserve our safety we
must build two battleships every time
Japan builds one, because Japan is
our near neighbor In the orient. How
much does q battleship, armored,
armed and furnished, cost? About
$S,O00,000, to say nothing Of expense
of maintenance, which year in and
year out is enormous. Suppose that
the Japs should take 1t into their nod
dies to build five battleships per an
mum. Then, according to the dictum
/ of the Washington Post, we must, in
order to be safe, build ten, which
would cost $S0,000,000. That's a pretty
how-de-do certainly And yet, If we
are idiots enough to hang on to the
Philippines, that in all human prob
ability is what we are coming to- and
nobody can gainsay the wisdom Of the
Posts suggestion. How the Spaniards
must laugh In their sleeves when they
read such editorials in the American
papers and reflect upon what a simple
but effective method of revenge upon
us they devised In unloading the Philip
pines upon us! OF course, though we
spend hundreds of millions for battle
ships because of our retention of those
Islands, erary lingo will swear that
they do not cost us one cent, because
In the budgets the ships are not
charged to the Philippines.

Nine. HeIlstrom's Farewell,

Nine. Anna Hellstrom babe farewell to
Minneapolis last evening in concert
given at the Swedish Tabernacle for the
benefit of the Swedish Evangelical Luth-
eran church Of North Minneapolis. The
immense church was packed to the doors
despite the bad weather, and Nine. He'll
strom was again given a reception which
could hardly fail to assure her of the
esteem in which she is held by the people
of the northwest
The great singer was suffering from
fatigue and severe headache, but in
spite of it all, appeared upon the rostrum
with all the grace and aplomb which has
characterized her other appearances. Nor
did her vocalization suffer. Her rendi-
ton of the aria from the daughter of
the Regiment" was superb, and in the
lighter songs which appeared later in
the program, or were given as encores,
she was most happy. Her inclination to
add touch Of the dramatic, by way Of
suggestive gesture, or facial expression,
added to the interest and enjoyment of
the occasion. 1t is pity that Nine. He'll
strom does not sing In English, that
those who do not understand the Scandi-
navian languages might appreciate her
splendid enunciation.
The Orpheus club sang again and
proved great favorite, its leader, HAL
wreaths Of laurel and palm leaves
respectively. It was hampered some
what by the absence of some
of it's members, but made an enjoyable
addition to the evenings program It's
best number was the "Aftonen' by
Schoffer, while the Grieg chorus with the
BARITONE solo by K. o. Ekman was espe
cially good. There were two instru-
mental numbers on the program, a violin

Der by Christina Nilsson. The former
was somewhat marred by the diffidence
Of the young performer. Miss Nilsson
was more at home and played with gooo
technique. Both numbers were encored
Miss Nilsson also accompanied during
the entire evening, and with her usual
fine success.
Nine. Helstrom will sing tonight in
Duluth, and tomorrow evening in ST..
Paul. She will start back from her west

MRS. GUINNESS SPOKE
Addressed Women's Meeting Today al
Bible Conference.

In response to many appeals from the
women of the Twin Cities, Mrs. H. Graf
tan Guinness consented to come in from
Lake Minnetonka, where she is staying
with her husband, and address wom-
an s meeting at the Northwestern Bible
conference at 4 CLOCK this afternoon.
This morning DR.. A. j. Frost began
an exposition Of the Epistle to the
Romans and Rev. J. E. Conant con-
Quoted services. In the afternoon the
Sunday school conference was continued
with a discussion of Getty Mission
Work, - by G. NJ. Stocking. This even
ing DR.. W. B. Riley, of the First Bap-
fist church, will preach on "Baptism by.
Fire.
F. A. Bartlett, state Sunday school
superintendent for the American Sun
day School union, who addressed the
conference yesterday afternoon, made a
very interesting comparison between
the city and country boy. He stated
that IS per cent Of the young men in
the American colleges were country
bred boys AMI that 100 successful bust
hess men who were written to as to
where they were reared claimed the
country as the scene of their boyhood
fsBut they also make the worst Grim
inals,'' he said. "Experts in criminal
ogy will tell you that the most vicious
prisoners are those who come from the
rural communities. ~
Despite the damp weather Of the last
three days, the meetings Of the confer
ence have been we'll attended. ..

The Dove Still Hovers.

The developments in the Portsmouth
conference yesterday were encouraging
for peace. Tho none Of the points upon
which M. Witte gave a negative an
swer to Japan have been touched, the
ENJOYS have made progress on other
points and have arrived at an agree
ment upon the two which were the
causes Of the war. Russia has agreed
to recognize .Japan's position in Korea,
and has agreed to evacuate Manchuria
These were the contentious of Japan a
little more than a year ago-that Rus
STA should keep her promises to get out
OF Manchuria and stop her inroads into
Korea. In reply Russia proposed a dual
agreement to respect the independence
OF Korea and declined to recognize the
Manchurian question as one that con-
cerncd Japan at all.
Now after eighteen months of war
Russia is ready to concede these points.
But meanwhile her refusal to keep her
engagements has put Japan to great ex-
pense for which she demands recon-
pense. 1t does seem as tho Russia, in
admitting that Japan was in the RIGHT
about the causes of the war, has lost
her right to cavil at paying the expenses
she forced upon a friendly nation bv
her obstinate attitude.

and that It any change is made it should

believe is capable Of ! mathematical
demonstration. . i ..-....ssz - 4 :
., Let us take for example, that in
se county, under the present sys-
gate, and that in Hennepin there are
2oo voters to every delegate. The in
equality is apparently to in favor
OF the stevens county voter
But this is more than offset by the
fact that Hennepin county has 113 dele
gates to the state convention and
stevens county 9, and while the hale a.
control OF, one-t tenth of the convention,
the Stevens county voter is seeking for
control off, less than I. one-hun dredth.
When attention is calledsto this other
series IN ,a#compound proportion, any
sixth grader can see that Hennepin
county voters still have the best part Of
the deal by 5 to morris Tribune.
How's that for frenzied mathematics
OF course, it makes no difference
whether you live in Stevens county and
have ] vote out of 1,250tin selecting the
delegation, or whether you are one of
81 900 republicans in Hennepin. e3Half
a voter is pretty badly lost in the
Hennepin ocean. The plain fact is that

equal voice in the state convention with
$50 from Hennepin, according to the

Setting Them to- Music.

Opening state fairs and kissing babies
are, 1t appears, not the only perils to
which our statesmen are to be subjected.
A new test of their fitness awaits them
IN the fancy that has taken possession
OF bandmasters to set them to music.
Uncle Joe Cannon has been corraled and
put in a march by Fanciulli, and the
New York Sun is calling upon the same
composer to write something grand
pla1ntlve and Wistful on the Skyscraper
Statesman.
Uncle Joe, it admits, may have
springs Of hidden melody in him, but it.
opines that none other can pour forth
notes so mellow and magnificent IS the
Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks.
BY all means let our great men be-
set to music, but let it be in such meas
ures as BELTS their character and
achievements. What is the sense Of
making march out of Joe Cannon
lie is a cakewalk, while La Toilette is
an encore. :

ADJUSTMENTS
Lyceum-"The sorceress. !,

Appropriately costumed. s,mptuo,lsly
staged and competently acted, Victorien
Sardou,s The Sorceress' is being given
entnuslastlc approval by large audiences
at the Lyceum this week. Following the
Sardou traditions, this last production of
the French dramatist for It's action and
interest depends upon an illicit love and
the power OF woman, thru her physical
charms, over men and one man in par
t1cular. There is just enough of virtuous
impulse in the womans sacrifice Of self
to save her lover to redeem the character
and the play from the sensualism with
Which it abounds.
T Inc play breathes Of the superstition
ana mysticism of Spain in the sixteenth
century. Zoraya, the Sorceress, is a
Moor and makes love to Don Enrique de
Palacios, Christian nobleman Of Toledo,
at FIRST to save herself and later because
she loves. The noblen1an succurnbs to
his fair tnamorata and is her accepted
lover in spite of the laws that prohibit
their exchange of sentiment. They are
detected, and are tried in the inquistion,
Where the woman confesses that she is
a sorceress in order to relieve her lover
from the crime of loving her. Zoraya is
pardoned to save the life of Juana, daugh-
ter Of the governor Of Toledo and the
bride of Don Enrique, whom she has
paced In a hypnotic sleep. The release
is followed with an attack by the popu-
lace and the lovers drink a death potion
from each others lips and die in sight
of the silenced mob.
Florence Stone plays Zoraya, the role
made famous by Sarah Bernhard. She
acquits herself with credit. In the love
scenes she seems indeed the sorceress
and In the denunciation of the nqusition
and the Christians who have prosecuted
her race and are about to burn her at the
stake she rises to real emotional heights.
Lawrence Grattan as Don Enrique gives
a strong Characterization of man
WaVer1ng between love and duty and
yielding at last to the winged god. His
manner1sms are somewhat marked at
times, but as whole his work is salts
flying and artistic
A number of new faces are seen in the
cast and they all do their work accept
ably. -,
Vaudeville between the acts of The
Sorceress! 1t should need no comment.
But 1t is there and in itself is good
enough. The artists are Maude p Crane,
a local whistler; Hart and Pain In musi-
cal turns, and Jessika, who sings topi-
cal song, tells two stories and does a few
terpsichorean ''stunts" of merit. d.

Boodling and Grating.

In an admirable discussion of the
word graft, the Assyriologist Of the
Fergus Falls Journal takes occasion
to differentiate graft and Doodle.
" Doodle, - says this learned authority,
is the price paid for an official act
or vote, the taking OF giving Of which
is q crime. Graft is the profit Of. an
official act which, altho withinSthe law,
is morally wrong"
The distinction is one that should
be made, as people are constantly mix
ing grafters and boodlers. It is fair to
the official world to make it, since ig-
norance on the subject often leads to
painful mistakes. Some folks make
the error Of calling their aldermen
boodlers when they are only grafters.
1t is clearly ibelous to call man a
boodler when he has been only a
CRATER. AS a boodler he would be
subject to the penalties for the crime
OF bribery; he might 90 to jail, lose
his citizenship and vacate his office.
For grating, none of these things
could happen to him. The worst that
could occur would be some embarrass-
ing questions in the campaign shot at
the CRATER by Interfering and insolent
citizens committees. These would be
compensated for in an increased ma
lorlty at the polls, brought about by
the righteous indignation of. those who
had stood in with him in the graft.
10 call such man by the coarser name
OF boodler is not merely to misapply
language and cause great pain to such
men as Henry James and William Dean
HoWells, but it encourages that Ameri-
can habit of >exaggeration SO much de-
plOred.

The fact that Minneapolis has become

OF much comment the country over, for
there are number Of cities larger in
population where it has not been in
stalled, owing to inability to secure the
necessary number of subscribers The
ease with which the subscription list
was filled here is evidence of the great
local interest in financial and market
affairs.
It is also admitted by the company
that it hopes to increase the compre-
hensiveness Of it's general news reports,
and to give better service to subscribers
of Chicago, New York and other large
centers, thru being established here, as
eral interest originates in Minneapolis.
That the company feels highly graft
fed at the installation of the service
with a good subscription list to start,
is shown by the first bulletin thrown
off by the ticker this morning, which
reads as follows:
