The sun has had those spots FURNISHED
Evidence of Growth.

Minneapolis, since she learned how
big she is, wears her honors with be-
coming modesty. Notwithstanding that
all roads in the northwest lead to Min
neapolis and all celebrities come here,
you do not catch Minneapolis boasting
of it. Lawson, Baer, the Gridiron club,
governors and former governors, noted
men and women Of all kinds have been
here within the past few days, and
there has been no fuss about it. Mr..
Baer got his name in the papers, but
merely to show that he had some very
respectable connections in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Lawson was treated just as he
wanted to be, as tho he was as good as
any man he met. And the Gridiron
club, it's presence in this city did not
cause the Press club to wink wunk OF
show any signs of life. 1t would have
been bad form. We are getting to be
a great community, and trying all the
time to forget our greatness. This is
what makes us SO attractive to people
who like to come here and talk about
themselves.

the rush of business in the steel indus
try, the soundness of the country s.
finances, easy money rates and the nu-
merous other favorable things, and,
even tho many stocks are selling for
all that they are worth, one would
have no hesitation ordinarily in de-
claring a big bull market to start.
The difference now is that Wall street
is being shaken by disclosures Of crook
edness in high places; new scandals, or
new developments in old ones, are of
daily occurrences; the big corporations
are being attacked; men Of large af-
fairs whose records are unclean are be-
ing shown up before the world; great
financial regulations are crumbling and
the whole street is besmirched. Lawson,
the sensationalist, is telling the people
of the west not to buy anything in Wall
street, but to sell.
Since first the evidences Of graft and
thievery in high financial places began
to come out, many have wondered what
would be the effect upon the public in
practical way, and the time appears
close at hand when this will be shown.
Conditions are such that long-sus-
tanned bull stock market should start
soon, but without the public it cannot
last, and the question is, will the pub

Pledging Support in Advance


Some Of the state papers have been
indulging lately in rather interesting
discussion, more vital to the people 8
interests than the respective merits
and deperits Of Alvah Eastman and G..
S. Mitchell. It has to do with the next
republican nomination for governor.
Some samples may be interesting.
The Eveleth Star, thru which P. Ellard
Bowling shines upon a grateful world,
said recently:
It is about time that the st. Paul
Dispatch, The Minneapolis Journal or
the St. Cloud Journal-Press made an
other "demand' on the republicans.
To this the st. Cloud paper made
reply:
The Journal-Press is going to keep
right on making demands on republ-
cans. Its demand is that they nomi-
nate honest men who are not controlled
by the corporations. We realize that
this will be entirely displeasing to the
"whitewash artists,' but that is their
fault.
Then comes the Fairmont News with
it's contribution toward the era of good
feeling. Editor Mitchell says:
The anti-Dunn leaders bolted because
they could not control affairs with Mr..
Dunn as governor. That was the basis
of their "'morality play" They now
want harmony, provided they can name
the candidate. They say it is i'm
moral and cowardly' to pledge them
selves in advance of the convention to
their party's choice. What else,
therefore, can they mean by Char
mony' than that they be allowed to
name the candidate?
This sort of talk is we'll answered by
the following from the Wells Forum:
So far as pledging oneself to sup
port the candidate Ono matter who he
may beg is concerned, that policy is
the cause Of most of the evils which
grow up in the states which are SO
overwhelmingly for one party or the
other as in Minnesota or Texas. If we
cannot take a bat at bad man because
he may call himself Of our party, we
had better quit. The sooner the news
papers line up for the best to be had
nominate nothing else.
It is manifestly foolish to demand a
pledge in advance of the convention
The chances are that no matter what
element may dominate the gathering
next year the lesson Of 1904 will have
its effect and a candidate Of clean rec.
ord will be nominated, who will have
no Objectionable alliances. With
such a nominee there will be no need
Of exacting pledges of support. If he
is man to command public confidence
he will get it. The effort to pledge sup
port in advance Of the nomination has
too much the appearance of a trap, and
it is not the kind Of politics the people
Of Minnesota want to see. The repub
licans who opposed Dunn have not de-
manded that they be allowed to name
the candidate. Probably they would
not like to trust the selection entirely
to the men who supported Dunn. The
nomination should be made without re
gard to former fractional lines, by the
free choice of the people. A nomina
tion so made will win confidence an6
support in the campaign and result II
an election. & .'..... -. .. F.. ..

A Case of Distressed Honor,

The New York legislature is having
a scrap with an editor. The New York
Press printed such warm report Of the
alleged motives Of the members in hold
ing up a decision in the Hooker case
that the members were moved to in
quire. They sent for the editor and
he came. The legislators demanded to
know the name of the author Of the
article. The editor was sorry, but he
did not know the distinguished gentle
man s name. He had been absent from
the office on vacation and the article
appeared while he was away. Would
the managing editor knows He might,
but if he did, he probably would not
tell. Would the managing editor be
discharged for refusing to tells Not 50
far as the editor knew.
The legislature then adjourned, hav.
ing issued subpenas for all the mem.
bers Of the editorial staff Of the Press
for the typesetters, the mailing clerks
and the newsboys. It is a determined
legislature and it is bound to vindicate
its dignity, even if it cannot investigate
the Equitable, or furnish New York
city with 80-cent gas, nor take the tax
II savings bank deposits, or do any of
the other dozen things promised by the
last rerrblican state platform. ID.

William the Autocrat.

William II is still working on his plan
to assume the managing editorship Of
Europe. He knocked France silly over
the Morocco business and no sooner was
that accomplished than he faced about
from the Mediterranean to the Baltic.
Before Europe knew he was moving the
emperor had all but concluded an ALI
ance with Sweden. He has at different
times braced Turkey against the as
saults Of Russia and the lukewarm
friendship Of England, has alternately
threatened and patronized Denmark and
Holland, has shaken the mailed fist I'M
der the nose Of England and trifed with
the affections of the weakling car.
Whatever the emperor wants he wants
badly enough to get except that slice of
South America which the Monroe doc
trine and the American navy have pre-.
vented him from Selling.
The unexampled activity Of the Ger
man emperor would wear out any other
ruler in Europe, but William takes it all

household economy. Before his son and

The extraordinary hold Of the kaiser
upon European politics is due partly, Of
course, to the overwhelming armament
Of the Germans. No European country
has the least confidence that it coult
beat the German army. France is the
nearest rival in numbers and equipment
and France is in deadly terror Of the
German army since 1870.
Another advantage enjoyed by The
emperor is that he has very little con
sulting to do about his foreign policy
There is more Of the one-man power il

To the Editor of The Journal.
The writer, as a resident OF East
Thirty first street, would like to know
why the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany is allowed to continue it's use Of
East Thirty first street.
We were under the impression that this
street was to be vacated as soon as the
Lake street line was in operation, but it
seems not.
And not only are they still running cars
on 1t from Nicollet avenue east, but from
10 pm. to early morning, cars are lined
up on this street, fully lighted, and a gang
of men engaged in cleaning them, making
night hideous with their noise and loud
talking.

Swindling Writers.

Some reference has already been
made in these columns to the exposure
in Pearson's Magazine Of the bucket
shops methods in the book world, by
whichs@the Astounding crop Of authors
is swindled. It appears that there is
shop or shops where authors are taken
in and trimmed. After their manu-
script has gone the rounds of the hon
orable publishers and come back, it
finally falls under the gaze Of the trim
mer of authors who who writes assuring
the budding novelist that his manu-
script has been perused with delight
In plot and construction he has done
a great thing.
This is the accompanying proposition:
The house will undertake to get out
and market the book, the author paying
one-half of the COST The contract is
closed and the sharpers make a neat
profit from. the authors half Of the
expense fund. The book finds it's way
to a few news stands and is noticed in
a few publications which are in league
with the publishing house.
People who write music are dealt
with even harder. The author Of a
song, for example, has the honor Of hav-
ing his work rejected by a publisher.
Then he finds it, slightly disguised, on
the market under another name. If it
becomes popular, the authors loss is
large. It it does not make a hit, he
loses nothing but his temper over the
swindle.
How is 1t done9 One Of the readers
in the great publishing house tries and
rejects the song, having previously
copied it. After a short time he alters
it slightly and issues it thru a shady
house which is in the swindle with him.

in a suit. Clever and remorseless law
yers probably would prove that both

song from Sullivan or somebody else.
