An Alternative.

In an address before the reform club
Of New York, Judge D. Cady Herrick,
who was the democratic candidate for
governor last fall, made speech on
municipal ownership, in which he said:
BY municipal ownership, either the
trades unions will be crushed out Of ex-
lstence-for it is hard to contemplate
q stable, strong government allowing
its employees to dictate to it, or even
to discuss questions with tor the
trades unions will dominate the govern
ment. Which would be worse9 [ do
not know.
If municipal ownership ever proceed
ed far enough to become a national
policy, it would quickly eventuate in
state socialism, and then, of course
trades unions would be, not crushed
out Of existence, but merged in the
general scheme Of government. They
would disappear because there woult
be no further use for them. Every
body would belong to the union, which
would be the state. AS to debating tt
the government, it would certainly b.
| done when everys man was a part Of
the government, and they stood in the
relation Of employer and employee, will
the employee owning stock and the EN-
ployer having no chance to hire any
one else if he got into a dispute will

WHEN A MAN MARRIES
DR.. Irvine's "Get-Away' Did Not End
His Troubles.

"Grief always comes in chunks" at
least this is what Deputy Coroner If
vine thinks. The doctor was married
last Wednesday evening, and, after run
ming the gauntlet thru drove Of ad-
hiring and loving friends who insisted
in doing all they could to make him
miserable, he succeeded in getting
started on the little trip which he and
his bride had planned.
More was yet to come. The trans
portation harbored a mistake some.
where in it's bewildering length, and
he was advised by the conductor that
he had better stop over in st. Paul
and have it corrected. He, therefore,
repaired to the Ryan for the night,
little dreaming that more trouble was
awaiting him.
Bride and groom had no sooner set.
tied in their apartments than a col.
lector, with malice aforethought, en-.
tered the house and inquired from the
clerk Of a runaway couple who were
planning to leave town without settling
certain bills. The clerk could think Of
no guilty-looking ones except the Ir-
vines, and SO reported. The result was
that the doctor was compelled to spend
half an hour in the hall explaining to
the collector that he was barking up
the wrong tree.

+ TALE OF ADVENTURE ON THE SEA.
Henry G. Rowland, author of "To Wind
ward has in The Wanderers told tale
like unto his first. Arthur Brown, a
famous artist, with a love Of life on the
ocean and of adventure, is summoned to
the aid Of Brian Kinard. whose father
has just died, leaving his fortune sup
posedly to a half-brother of Brian's.
Brian at the time is off on a cruise in a
yacht his father told him should be his.
He has received an order from the half
brother to return the yacht. But Brian is
not SO inclined. He argues that the yacht
is his, and his call for aid is simply to
secure the approval Of a friend as to his
course The two decide to keep the yacht
but think it wise to get around to the
other side of the world. Immediately ad-
ventures are theirs-from duels to love
affairs and mutinies. The end, however,
is happy" and leaves the reader we'll
contented with his new acquaintance of
the book.
Mr.. Rowland tells his story trippingly,
almost straining things now and then to
keep up the pace But who wants to
read a book of adventure in which the
author stops to philosophize or interjects
psychological discussions? Not The I'm
easy Chair for one Dead Gains on voy-
ages of adventure won't do. and there
are none in Mr.. Rowland's book.

ADJUSTMENTS
Wonderland Park.


The people are eager to visit Wonder
land If thfe weather will only give them
the chance. Yesterday the attendance
was 10000 despite heavy rain both after
noon and evening, and what was worse,
threatening clouds both before and be-
tween showers.
Last night the park presented novel
spectacle. The rain was coming down in
torrents, yet the Journal Cadet band
was playing waltz music serenely, and
people were riding in the carrousel to
hurryup music and whirling lights. The
big dancing pavilion and the other build
ings were crowded with people who had
run for shelter. Some Of them acted as
if they did not want to leave the scenic
railway and chutes even when it was
raining.
The Journal Cadet band gave very en-
joyable concerts, and a good program of
free open air acts was presented, which
included the three MIDAS, man, woman
and a little girl in a graceful gymnastic
novelty, called the frame of life,'' How
ard, the impaler, who uses a woman as
his target when throwing knives and bat
tie axes, and leaping the gap by Michaels
on a bicycle were other features. The
scenic railway carried 1000 passengers
and the other devices proportionately
large numbers. The big carrousel is
proving strong rival to the scenic rail-
way and was constantly surrounded by a
big crowd The fairy theater is another
attraction that is very popular. The nov
city and beauty of the pantonlime pre-
scented induces many to visit the theate1
time and again.

MAY Be LINDAnL'S BODY
WIFE THINKS SHE n AS PROOF
THAT HE EXECUTED HIS
p THREAT TO KILL HIMSELF. Z

The body taken from the river in ST.
Paul. Saturday, is thought to be that Of.
Swan M. Lindahl, the policeman who
was accused of robbing the till at the
South Side library and then firing the
building to cover up his crime. Mrs.
Lindahl has identified the clothing Of
the dead man as that worn by her hus-
band on the day he disappeared. She
has also identified the knife found in
the dead mans pocket.
When the body was found it was so
badly decomposed that immediate
burial was ordered. Mrs. Lindahl has
not seen the body, but it will probably
be exhumed that she may be more posi-
tive.
Lindahl was indicted by the grand
jury on a charge of burglary, and was
released on 81 800 bail. Later he dis
appeared and wrote to his wife, saving
he intended to drown himself.

The American in Canada.

A letter from an American at Moose
Jaw, Assiniboia, indicates that the
Americanization Of Canada, which we
have heard so much about and which is
going on steadily, is not being accom-
plished without considerable resistance
on the part Of the Canadians. The Ca
nadians are anxious to get American
settlers, to sell their lands to them and
to have them develop the country. But
the American seems to cling rather to-
naciously to his preference for the stars
and stripes and what they stand for,
and to assimilate slowly. Furthermore
he lis so numerous in western Canada
now that he is pretty nearly able to
control the political situation. He does
it absolutely in some localities. This
leads to some friction.
But the most peculiar thing about
this relation Of the American to his
new political condition is. the attitude
. Of the Englishman. The Canadian anG
the Englishman do not take to each
other. The Englishman comes very
much unprepared for the conditions
which he must meet and receives very
little sympathy and assistance from the
Canadian. In nine cases out of ter
the Englishman turns to the American
for aid and advice in adjusting himsel1
to conditions which are entirely new
And this does not contribute to tn,
eordiality Of the Canadian toward tn,
American.
OF courses all these things will ad
just themselves in time, and the Cana
dian is probably unnecessarily nervous
about the possible political effect Q:

State Railroad Laws.

The La Toilette campaign has re-
suited in the adoption Of strong rail-
road commission law for Wisconsin,
which is being generally commented
upon as a sample Of advanced legisla-
ton. It is particularly interesting be-
cause it embodies the ideas Of Wis
consin's senator-elect, who is expected
, to be a strong upholder of the Roose-
welt policy in the upper house.
The Wisconsin law is better than Min
nesota''s in one important particular.
The commission there is appointed by
the governor and not elected by the
people. The general verdict in Mime
sofa is that the elective commission
is not success. It's members are nom
mated at the end of state convention
sessions, in hurry and as a result of
trades, and they are elected as "a mat
ter of course. When the governor was
made responsible for the commission
he was apt to pick out high grade men,
and see to it that they attended to
their duties. His administration was
apt to stand or fall on the record of
Enc commission.
In other respects Wisconsin's law
does not go as far as the legislation
secured last winter for Minnesota. The
Wisconsin commission will have the
power to fix rates, either upon complaint
OF upon it's own motion. That power
has been in the hands of the Minnesota
commission for over decade. The legis
lature last winter went still farther, an0
provided that in Minnesota railroads
must not alter rates or classifcations
either up or down, without the consent
of the commission. This adds vastly tc
the states power, for it makes every
rate change an act of the commission
and gives it check upon every inter
state tariff.
This power needs to be exercised will
great discretion. It is said that Coy
ernor La Toilette thought strongly Of
adding such feature to the Wisconsin
law, but concluded that he had take1
long enough step for one session. II
this forbearance he was undoubtedly
wise, for a new commission, with every
thing to learn about it's duties an(
about the problem of rate making
would be swamped by the work tn
Minnesota law imposes. It could no
possibly give proper attention and stud,
to each individual case, and it's hear
ings and decisions would be farcical
Minnesota has a veteran commission
and no better place could be found t
give the system a trial. Chairma,
mills has served almost continuousl
for twelve years, and G. F. Staples NOR
than four years, W. E. Young being tn
only inexperienced man of the three.
The ratemaking power within tn
state of Minnesota lhas been. placed i
the hands Of these three men, subiec
only to review by the courts, and tn
result Of their labors will be watche
with interest. If they are successful
Wisconsin will, no doubt, profit by thei
example.

Indiana as an Inspiration.

From Indiana, the home and haunt of
authors, comes a complaint that the
women Of the state know more about
the history and times Of Alexander and
Napoleon, of Athens and Sparta than
they do about the men and events Of
| their own state because they devote
more study to the musty records of the
past than to the live doings Of Indiana.
We can hardly believe this, because,
aside from the habit Of introspection
that would lead any hoosier, male OF
female, to study Indiana first, the fact
is, as everybody knows, that the history
Of Indiana is much more important than
the history Of either Greece or Rome.
The area of Indiana is greater than
that Of Greece and the amount Of land
fit for cultivation about twice. The
number of men capable of bearing arms
is greater than that of Sparta and in
Indiana every soldier is not merely a
brick, he is a Stonewall Jackson. Rome
at the same age was not in it with In
diana. She had scarcely any railroads
and only one miserable wooden bridge
across the Tiber. Give Indiana the
centuries Of Rome and you will see a
growth that will astonish all living. The
state will be Melted with pipe and laid
with historical novels. Potatoes will
grow in every fence corner and poems
sprout from every vine. ~ 49, .
Turn from nature to man. There once
arose pertinent inquiry as to whether
Rome had only one man. There has
never been any question about HThe
Gentleman from Indiana,'' while In.
diana has ordinarily from seven to
twenty candidates for each local office
and at least two favorite sons for presi
dent. At present the number is I'M
known because the census has not been
completed. ..,...-. ...,-..... ......
If, historically, Indiana knocks the
spots off Rome, what shall we say of he1
as literary center? Rome had one
or two poets whose stuff is as hard tc
read as Browning. We wouldn It trade
"Down to Old Aunt Mary's' for the
whole bunch. .~.
Did the natural scenery Of Rome have
any edge on that Of Indiana? Is the
Tiber a better river than the Wabash
Were Rome's senators any better thar
Irdiana's Is Beveridge less voluble
than or any easier to understand thar
Cicero2 Are The Apprentices any tafle1
: than Fairbanks or any cooler at tht
tops Is George Ade's English any
snider than that of Aesop9 Why should
the women of Indiana turn from the
home ground for literary feeding
There is no reason and they will mo-
do it. They will stick for inspiration
to Hoosierdom, to the story Of a STATE
made great not more by the fertility o:
it's soil and it's underlying gas, but b,
the accuracy of it's poets and the mimi
table dialect Of it's historians. %

Togo Visits Roiestyensky.

The Japanese continue to show that
they are as well up in the etiquette Of
war as they are forward in action. Ad-
miral Togo's visit to his defeated and
wounded antagonist in the hospital at
Sasebo is an illustration Of those fine
graces of life which tend to lift soldiers
out Of the mere grade Of killers. He
congratulated Rojestvensky on his
bravery and it was no idle compliment
for, defeated and his fleet completely
destroyed, Rojestvensky stills looms up
as one of the greatest naval command
ers Of modern times. No matter what
Of controversy there may hang over the
surrender Of Nebogatoff there can be
none that Rojestvensky has deserved
well of his country. He did all he
promised. He took feet three-quar-
tiers around the world, he met the Jap
anese as he promised he would, and he
made good his pledge to the car that
if defeated it would be so completely
that the Japanese would make the re-
port.
He was whipped, but that does not
concern Rojestvensky courage or his
capacity. It concerns gravely the gov
eminent which sent him out with fleet
in bad order, with crews Of unframed
men and subordinates who did not
know the first principles of naval war
| fare.
AS to Rojestvensky's feat of round
ing the globe with fleet Of ironclads
there are no two opinions among ex-
perts-it was the greatest Of modern
naval seamanship. Captain Clarke IS
bringing Of the Oregon from San Fran
cisco to Santiago, a distance Of $4,000
miles, is eclipsed, for Captain Clarke
navigated a single, clean ship and had
opportunities for coaling en- route, while
Rojestvensky maneuvered half hum
dred ships Of various speeds and was
constantly harassed by questions Of
neutrality and dangers of international
complications. Yet he brought this
miscellaneous feet to it's destination
and sent it into battle in as good, if not
better order, than it was when he left
the Baltic. 49,.
All honor to Rojestvensky the brave.
The wreath of victory in battle went
to Togo, but the laurel of triumph
over invincible difficulties remains with
Rojestvensky. Togo does well to extol
his courage and his capacity. May this
Interchange of courtesies between fight
ing men be harbinger of better I'M
derstanding between the peoples of Rus
STA and Japan when Russia shall have
swept away the abominably corrupt and
incompetent bureaucracy which defeats
her best plans in peace and war.

The question Of water publication will
not down, however much the results of
filtration may be disputed and however
much conservatism business men counsel
waiting policy. In the last Mcclure's
Samuel Hopkins. Adams claims the most
clean demonstration Of the efficiency of
filtration in Philadelphia, where part of
the supply is purified and part is not.

case Of typhoid. Last October 1926 cases

came from the section using filtered
wafer.
