Home Rule Here and Abroad.

In the discussion of home rule for
Cities, and particularly in debating
municipal ownership of utilities, we
are too apt to draw comparisons
between cities Of our own country and
European cities which are not true.
The American city is not the CONT
mental city by any means, nor even
there mean different things. By not
keeping the distinction in mind we fire..
quently make mistakes. ST.
The American city is the creature
of the state, not of the United States,
and it's functions are determined by a
J body Of lawmakers frequently in SEES
sion, and who find no greater. impulse
! to activity than in the regulation Of
i municipalities. In the state of Min
nesota. for example, there is home
srule charter law, whose title reads as
! tho the city coming into being under
I it's provisions would have the power
ito run it's own business exclusively.
But this is not the reading of the en-
abling act. It hedges cities about with
conditions. Our home rule is quite diff
1ferent from the home rule Of Eng
land; it. is probably quite different
4 from the home rule of Ohio. It amounts
merely to permission to cities to
make their. own laws under restrict.

material from which.to draw. In addl-
ton to all this he is man of highest

the esteem and respect of every one

such an equipment, Professor Shaw is
preparing to do the highest type of

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

F The wonderful brain dirsls.1Ig the des-
TIMES of the Twin City Rapid Transit
company can be most fully appreciated
by Kenwood people who find 1t convent
ent to use the Lake street line. For in
stance: Should We take a Lake street
car to get from Nicollet park home, we
from Hennepin and Douglas avenues, as
no transfer is given from the Hennepin
lines to Kenwood. ..E
Now here comes the brilliancy Of the
management BY taking a First avenue
car we can go down town and transfer
to Kenwood car for nickel the COM
pany, thereby giving more than double
the ride it would give were transfer
provided for the Kenwood line from Hen
nepin, and at the rush hours, too. Great
head. .-
Another point-a transfer from Lake
street to Hennepin gives a ride for a
nicket to the state fair grounds, at least
five times the distance that Kenwood
people are obliged to pay 10 cents for.
Now WHY should Kenwood be discrim-
mated against in this manner? The
Lake street line is absolutely of no value
to us, unless we are content to submit
to the petty holdup of the railway com
pany and put up an extra fare.
How nice II WOulQ ne dCClQenIdlly &c

hired by the car company, so that such
glaring Inconsistency and discrimina-

Why was not the transfer question
settled before Lake street boulevard was
destroyed by placing carline on it?
or course, the company will come back
and say that if transfer is given on q
transfer there is nothing to prevent e
person riding all day on a single fare
This objection could be easily overcome
by providing a space on the transfer fol
a punch showing it to be a second trans
fer and refusing another transfer on al
so punched; then oblige passengers tt
ask for transfers when fare Is paid o.

the useless and exasperating delay at al

The Russian People Awakened.

Is war complete loss7 There is a
school of philosophers who have con-
tended for ages that the slaughter of
men in war was but an exhibition of
mad passion, that it added nothing to
the progress of the world, that it was
in fact a lapse into barbarism.
OF many wars this may have been
said truthfully. There have been
wicked wars in which little was
gained and much was lost. This would
apply to nearly all the wars Of Napo-
leon. He lived, ruled, reigned and
slew and when he faded from the hori-
zon on board the Bellerophon the prob
lem Of civilization in Europe had not
been advanced step. Nations which
had been wrenched from their moor
ings and set adrift by him on a tide Of
destruction had to be captured and re-
turned to their legitimate harbors Of
refuge. The boundaries Of nations set
by nature and by racial differences re-
asserted themselves and the evolution
of Europe into a family of nations re-
sumed it's logical function. Incidental
ly there was, Of course, considerable
gain. Autocracy. had received some
stunning blows-from self-made auto
crat. The general run of humanity
looked upward with more human and
less bovine expression after Napoleon
than before. Liberty was broadened
and tyranny received check. None
of this result was a part of Napoleon s
plan, but it was part of the outcome
Of his spectacular ambition.
But there have been other wars
which could be more readily justified.
The American revolution and the
American rebellion were productive
first of nation and second of free
nation. The first planted liberty, the
second uprooted slavery. Possibly
both results could have been brought
about without war. Human foresight
could not see it and human hindsight
is peculiarly arrogant institution.
The war between Russia and Japan
will probably 90 down in history as
one Of the wars which brought great gooo
in it's train. The historian of the fu
ture will undoubtedly say that the rise
of the Russian people dated from the
war with Japan. The Russian people
have never lived heretofore. They
have existed merely as atoms. To-day
they have an identity. They have beer
given a start in. life. It rests will
them to make the rescue from living
death complete. The bureaucracy hal
been undermined. It remains with thu
Russian people to blow it up. Whether
they will do it by revolution or evolu
ton remains to be seen. But it is Ger
tain that the movement which has

A Lot of Money.

One. section Of The Journal to-
day is given up largely to the presen-
station of of the most impressive
facts bearing upon the ability of the
people Of the northwest to buy things.
That is what the business man locally
and in other sections of the country
wants to know. He studies the output
of any section of the country carefully
before he makes his plans to do bust
ness in that section. If he be a mer-
chant or a manufacturer, he wants to
know whether the producers are pros
sperous-whether they are going to have
money with which to buy goods, and,
If so, whether they will have a little
for a good deal.
The central northwest-by which is
generally meant Minnesota and the
aDakotas-is mainly an agricultural re-
$gion. At least that part Of it directly
lin commercial relations with Mime
sapolis is agricultural. Duluth has a
large share of the trade of the iron
