a Factor for Righteousness.

A good many Of the people Of the
city have become interested in the
question Of whether or not Minneapo-
lis is to lose DR.. P. A. Cool, the pas
tor Of Fowler church. He has been
here four years and is recognized as
one Of the ablest ministers of the city.
The reports presented yesterday at
Fowler church show that he has doubled
the membership Of the church 5 and
raised a debt Of $25,00O. In: addition
to this, he has given Fowler pulpit high
standing among the pulpits Of the city.
Formerly a professor of psychology,
he is gifted with intellectual ability.
But it is his spirituality which espe-
cially draws people. Week after week
he has stood in his pulpit and preached
the old-fashioned gospel with all the
fervor and fearlessness of one of the
old prophets. He never poses, nor ad-
vertises, nor adops sensational meas
ures to attract attention. He has no
time for trivialities. His themes are
the eternal verities.
Outside Of his pulpit he is prominent
in civic and evangelistic work, and if

Justice Elliott.

The promotion of Judge Elliott to the
supreme bench, which was due to occur
inJanuary by reason of his election, has
taken place some months earlier, on ac-
count of the resignation of Justice
Lovely.
Judge Elliott has cleaned up his bust
ness in the district court and will i'm
mediately begin work in the state capt.
tai.
In losing Judge Elliott from the local
courts, which he has for twelve years
graced and Illuminated with learning
and rare judicial aptitude, Minneapolis
congratulates herself that she does not
lose him as citizen and that his tai
ents are still in the service Of the state
tho in higher capacity.
Judge Elliott has been an excellent
trial judge. We have no doubt he will
prove as efficient in the review Of cases
on the supreme bench. He is succeed
ed by Judge F. V. Brown, of whose ap-
po1ntment T b e Journ al has already
spoken in terms of praise and for whom
this paper wishes useful and brilliant
career on the bench.

AN ACTOR WITH
THE CAMERA HABIT

One Of the most enthusiastic Of anna
teur photographers is Edward Esmonde,
who, with Mrs. Esmonde, will appear at
the Orpheum this week in playlet
called "Another Cucumber and hav-
ing to do with the Klondike country.
AS evil ences of his proves as cam
era manipulation, Mr.. Esmonde proudly
produces two little bronze medals, done
in imitation tos Of ancient a!5 Mt. e ee They
Academy Of Photography, the oldest
chartered Photographic society in Amer
lea. Mr.. Esmonde believes he is the
only. one in the theatrical profession, if
not in theworld, to receive two Of these
prizes in the same year, 1901. One was
received for Photographic work aad the
other for lantern slide studies.
Mr.. Esmonde carries a machine of his
own manufacture. "And I think it is
the greatest snapshot camera ever
used," he says. HThere is no accident
or incident met with in my wanderings
about town whose action is TOO quick
for the action of my camera. I have
the real focusing finder and altho the
plate is but 314 by AZ inches I in
variably get an absolutely sharp mega
tive, from which I can successfully en-
large. to 16 by 20 picture.'
This is the eighteenth year Mr. Es-
monde has followed photography as a
fad, and altho he has seven other ma
chimes at his home in Borough Park,
Greater New York, he carries none but
the little patent quick-frer.
~ don't believe in skylights. They
are unnatural" says he. "All my work
is done in the living rooms of our home
with natural light. When you photo
graph people under a skylight you get
false impression of them. Since all
the photographs used professionally by
Mr.. and Mrs. Esmonde are taken by
him he's has ample opportunity to supsz
port his theory with practice. In get.
ting photographs of himself he focuses
on Mrs. Esmonde, then takes the posi-
ton she has had and has her work the
shutter.
There is but one other fad in the
Esmonde family. It is a bull terrier,
which will join them in Omaha next
week and accompany them to the coast.
The dog is the son of Richard Cookers
famous "Woodcote Wonder,' which
was purchased in England for $4,000,
with the stipulation that it should never
be brought back to that country for
exhibition purposes, and which was the
champion of American bench shows for
five years.

BIG GROWTH SHOWN
Minneapolis Tax on New Buildings Is
Double st. Paul's.

Real estate assessments Of Minneap-
oils and St. Paul show that the metrop.
oils added in the way of improvements
and new buildings just twice the
amount improvements found in st. Paul
Real estate was assessed last year,
and this year there is nothing added ex-
cept for new buildings and improve
ments. The additions reported from
Hennepih, county to the state auditor
are $2,870,135. Those reported from
Ramsey count come to just 81 ,422, 800.
st. Paul now admits that the building
permits for 1904 showed Minneapolis
to have nearly double the value of new
buildings. The Minneapolis total ae-
cording to permits was $6,7O1, 465. st.
Paul building inspector, by adding the
buildings at Fort Smelling and the State
fair grounds, all outside the city limits,
and by adding twenty per cent more for
"undervaluations,' made up total of
nearly $6,000,0O0. The St. Paul Dis
patch now admits, however, that the
actual value Of their 1904 permits was
only $3,719,333. The assessed valuation
would indicate still greater disparity
between the two cities than the permits
show. -.-...,. -

Rockefeller's Future Assured

~~.>0>~ AS~A~
When the neighbors came in and
made such fuss over him, Rockefeller
wept. A captain Of industry indulging
in "briny weeps' is a spectacle to
make the gallery howl with delight.
How does Rockefeller do it9 the other
captains will soon be asking themselves
Can Morgan do it7 Is Carnegie capa-
BILE of it? Could Russell Sage squeeze
a tears Are the ducts of Jawn W.
Gates capable Of the effort7 We
doubt it..
The fact that Rockefeller can weep
is but another evidence that he is the
boss of them all. He has every string
to his bow. Some one has recently dis
covered that Rockefeller, separated
from his money, is still fair stenog-
rapher, but we fear his age would tell
against him in the office. There is an
other. avenue open for him which would
bring a much better income than throw
ing pothooks on an uncertain notebook.
John could do a revival of Dunstan
Kirke, and to make him weep good, he
should have Ida to enact the touching
role of Hazel.
Anybody who thinks that John D.,
without his money, is not force in the
world, needs but to see him cry to be
cured Of that notion.

BiIou-"HIS Last Dollar"

Ills Last Dollar" Is one Of the pref
test, most interesting, and best presented
attractions that has appeared in Mime
apolis for many day. Two seasons ago
it was seen in Minneapolis late In the sea-
son of its first year, and it now returns
better than ever. The characters are in
strong, capable hands. The properties
and appointments are the best, and the
piece itself Is sound and good to the core
and full Of wholesome heart interest.
: Joe Braxton, the Kentucky prince who
makes a million in the west, beginning as
a jockey and cowboy, 'brings his million
to New York and tries to- sweep up all
the yellow stuff in Wall street." but, as
he expresses it, "breaks his broom" He
is deceived by an unscrupulous, scheming
broker whom he believes to be his friend
and loves as brother, and by an equally
INSCRIPTIONS woman, who poses as his
fancee only to help the scheming broker,
who Is her. real lover. When affairs are
at their worst a sweet Kentucky girl and
her thorobred horse, Mongrel, intervene
and the day is saved. sa-s,
Tho the first two acts serve largely as
foundation for the last three, they do not
drag. The third act where Braxton finds
that the man he has loved and trusted
has z thrown him, and puts it to him
face to face, is intensely dramatic. 1t
could easily be overdone and spoiled, but
both carry it to perfection. The spectac-
ular climax is in the fourth act at the
finish Of the race on which Braxton has
staked his last dollar on the Kentucky
horse. He rides the horse and wins not
only the race, but a fortune and wife.
The turning of the tables is finished in
the last act
To enumerate the good people in the
cast would be to mention all. David
Higgins, one of the authors of the piece,
plays the part of the hero, Joe Braxton.
His work is free, natural and hearty.
From the start he has his audience with
him until his fortunes are theirs. Tom
Linson, the scheming broker and traitor,
is strongly done by w. Burt Cartwright
Eleanor Montell as Eleanor Downs, the
Kentucky girl who saves the day, is
sweet, beautiful and genuine. Emma Sal
vatore, who handles the lines of Viola
Grayson, the scheming fancee Of Brax-
ton, has a difficult part to handle natur-
ally, but makes good. Thomas Reynolds,
as Kaufman the broker and father of
twins, Is also good. M. c. Bachelor.

chlefs and bottle Of champagne, two add

too-hopeless view Of this situation.
America has no monopoly of crooked
ness in finance. It is true that it is
hard to recall time when in foreign
affairs SO many names Of prominence
were besmirched as in the present New
York disclosures, but England has had
her Hooleys Of recent date and Ger
many her scandals, and as for France,
she is the last one entitled to set up as
critic.
i, Principally, however, the saving fea-
ture is American public opinion. No
man can for a moment doubt that the
people Of our country are right. 1t
men who have sat in high places must
fall. it family names long honored must
have the stain of thievery put upon
them, if regulations long considered
the most honorable must be pu,lctured
thru and thru with graft and deceit
it is better it sE.ou!7 all come ut once.
And it must be noted that public opin-
ion is not in favor Of sparing anyone,
buv clamors rather for full exposition
of all the iniquity and the throwing out
of the grafters AMI thieves.
Fundamentally the consideration is
one of the honesty of the people, and
this permits of only one view. 1t may
be that the high places have been filed,
and the prizes grasped by men un-
worthy to have them, but the people
will force them out, and the business
structure in our country will remain,
founded upon honesty.

You can select varieties more inteiligentIy
IN fall than in spring. You have a full

TO avoid risk in fall planting don't plant
anything on cold, wet, heavy soil: drain #

like birch, or wrap them with straw.

The American Name Tarnished.

In his address Of welcome at the
one hundred and ,ffty-second opening g
of Columbia university, President
Nicholas Murray Butler took occasion
to point out the forcible illustrations
now being afforded the rising genera
ton of the difference between reputa-
ton and character. The American peo-
pie are receiving some painful lessons
in practical ethics, as President Butler
says, and of late we have been watch
ing regulations Hmelt away like snow
before the sum- President Butler had

brought to light to make an honest man
blush. ss.#
Hamilton w. Mabie, another Ameri-
can, whose patriotism and cleanliness
Of thought none will deny, even tho he
may not rank as fnancier, has Just
returned from Europe. Current scandals
in commercial life, he says, are the talk
of the hour in Europe, and it is matter
Of shame to any American to hear his
countrymen referred to as swindlers
and sharpers. Mr.. Mabie fears that
our business prospects and the respect
in which our fnanciers have heretofore
been held have been changed. Today
in England, Germany and France, the
American, when finance is discussed,
must be prepared to meet the faint
smile and quiet sheer Of contempt.
This is a penalty we have to pay FOR
the wrong doing Of the big men Of the
American money world, who have long
abused confidence reposed in them, and
managed their trusts for their cwn
profits rather than for the benefits of
the people they represented.
