i Perhaps a brief account Of some Of
our adventures enrol1te here may be
of interest to those who had dear ones
on the Ill fated train which went east
ward, IL cars strong, from Bismarck
Sunday afternoon. All went well with
US until we reached Winnipeg juno
ton where we got stalled on the hill
just east Of the station. We managed
to back down for a fresh start and at
the depot the rear coach, which was
occupied by the Bismarck push,
crashed into big engine that was.
pulling a freight train onto the main.
track from a siding. We struck her a
tglancing blow and the end of the
sleeper was made into kindling wood
in a hurry. s ss
Our car was filled to the roof with
people, but fortunately the dressing
rooms and smoking compartment
were in the smashed end and no one
was hurt. But there was the liveli-
est hnstling about of people IN scant
.raiment that you ever saw! Most of
us were thrown out Of our hunks into
a heap on the floor with Boucher and
Ward on the bottom and Tom WEIGH
on top. The latter had the last berth
and it is said the engine struck his
head, which prevented the machine
from penetrating the car any further
and finally, by mighty effort, Tom
pushed the mogul into the ditch and
saved all our lives at the cost Of in
juring the fireman. =. d Is.
IN IA few moments the prairie was
covered with ghosts, who later
crawled back into the car in search
Of earthly raiment and other human
belongings. = +:
The efforts Of WEIGH in orr behalf
seemed to have somewhat effected his
headgear as he was detected trying
to put on Mrs. Best's shoes. Weeks
seemed a little cratic, also, as it is
said he threw his trousers out OF the

The executive and legislative work of

America the legislative and executive

retained long enough in either house

when he gets there he must show by

The MayOralty Situation

all these are among the big questions
which. will haye to be settled in the
near future.
b I can conscientiously say that there
is no man within my knowledge who,
from the standpoint of experience,
painstaking investigation Of conditions
in other cities, r-mindedness, and
backbone, can be more safely entrusted
to represent the citizens Of Minneapo-z
lis in the settlement of these questions
than D. P. Jones. Anyhow, I trust no
man will be Influenced to cast his vote
by any detail, big or little, of Mayor
Jones administration; his record as a
whole should control.
Personally I believe it would be.
distinct calamity if the present high
grade, progressive administration should
be interrupted. Mayor Jones has ad-
mittedly settled one big question for
tus; am confident that he can be de-
pended upon to take the lead in set
Ting still bigger ones.

Juvenile Protective League.

The Hennepin County Juvenile Pro-
tective league. recently made an appeal
by mail to the people of Minneapolis,
and got $780,. This is a good Begin
ming, but it is only a beginning on
what is one of the most important una
dertakings launched in this community
for many a day. - s%s~.s55-s +
The Juvenile. Protective league is a
volunteer. organization, auxiliary to the
Juvenile court. Its business is to sup
plement the work Of the court and the
court Is probation officer in the care Of
delinquent and dependent children. . It
is a child saver and means for the
prevention Of crime. 1t acts upon the
theory that it: is cheaper to spend a lit
tie money to make the delinquent and
neglected child good and productive
citizen than it is to spend a lot more
money on police and courts and jails
and prisons when he has become a
source of danger to the community and
fit only to be restrained or hanged.
! Now, if that is work worth doing,
it is worthy the sympathy, the interest,
the cooperation of every citizen of
Minneapolis. y.'
( The league has responses from .120
out Of 1900 circular letters sent out.
Doubtless a great many people have
these circular letters still in hand and
may contemplate response in the near
future It will be necessary for the
proper prosecution Of this work that
more funds be obtained without much
delay. In addition to the salaries at
very moderate rates Of two paid pro
baton officers, money will be required
for the furnishing and maintenance
of the detention home, an institution to
be established for the temporary care
of delinquent and dependent children
while their future is under consider.

|arrangemente are beingzmade forvtheir
permanent care. This home must be

and wife who are peculiarly fitted tc

This indicates some Of the ways in
which the money contributed to the
league will be used. No other agency
exists in the city for the carrying or
of this work, and the undertaking is o1
such Importance that it is inevitable
that when it., is thoroly understood

A Delicate Situation.

An intensely interesting story comes
from our Washington department today
relative to the possibilities OF the pres
ent Japanese situation. Readers of the
newspapers are acquainted with the
fact that our government has been TAX
ing extraordinary pains Of late to re-
move the friction between our country
and Japan growing out of the exclusion
Of Japanese children from public
schools conducted for white children in
San Francisco, and out Of the shooting
Of Japanese seal poachers in Bering sea.
Neither of these incidents taken by
themselves have seemed to justify the
activity Of our government and the ex-
traordinary action Of the president in
sending the secretary Of state across
the continent to Compose these minor
difficulties, but our correspondent in an
interview with member of the senate
committee on foreign affairs gives! a
very interesting and Suggestive revela-
tiOn Of possibilities and difficulties with
which our government has now to con-
tend in the orient. The theory that
Japan is seeking for some pretext for
break with the United States rests
upon the proposition that Japan is still
dissatisfied with the Portsmouth treaty
sore because Of the influence Of the
United States in urging Japan to jac.
cept the terms of that treaty and in
alliance with England to deprivesthe
United States of any advantages which
we might expect to enjoy in orientas
trade by reason Of our Pacific front. :
It is an intensely interesting story;
| it possesses the elements of probabilit5
and as an aspect Of the situation i,
worthy of consideration and study. Oul
well-informed Washington department
has undoubtedly got very close to al
exceedingly delicate international com
plication. ~
