Realign1nent of the Powers.

Realignment Of the Powers. !
It is evident that the realignment Of
the powers of Europe which began in
Russia's misfortunes with Japan has
now proceeded so far as to put an en-
tirely new face on worldwide politics.
One Of the first effects Of the Russo
Japanese war was decided cooling Of
frances affection for its great Slav
ally. This sprung from a number of
causes, but chiefly from French realiza-
tion Of the fact that the alliance was
a one-sided affair in which France gave
and Russia received all the benefits.
There was the farther fact Of the kai.
ser's Irritation with the car to put the
finishing touch to French disgust. Glenn
enceau, the new premier, is an enemy
Of Russia and friend to England and
the United States. a
The other chief European agreement
was the triple alliance, which bound
the interests Of Germany, Austria and
Italy together. This agreement, too,
is moribund, because Of the growing

Italians are evidently looking forward
to the breaking up Of the heterogeneous
Austro-H Hungarian empire that seems
likely to follow the death Of the aged
Franz-Joseph, as their golden opportu-
nifty to regain the Italian.speaking
provinces Of the Adriatic now under
Austrian control. Italy's plenipoten-

Wilhelm thought they should, and there

TERRIBLE, DANGERS OF HOME

John Muir. the famous geologist and
naturalist, says that he finds home to be
the most dangerous place he can visit
"As long, as I camp out in the mountains
without tents or blankets he says, II
get along very well, but the minute I
get into house and have warm bed
and begin to live on fine food I get into
a draft and the first thing know I am

with pneumonia and altogether rniser-

for bread and tea and occasionally a lit,

WHY Chicago Stands Still.

A Chicago man, writing to the New
York Sun, argues from the registration
figures and other statistics that Chicago
is not growing and in fact has been
practically stationary since 1892. This
year $4,000 voters were registered,
which is 10000 less than twelve years
ago. This year there are 248,000 school
children, or 1,400 less than in 1904.
The school census shows. 100000 chill
dren of school age, which is almost ex-
actly the same as in 1892. From these
figures, taken in connection with those
Of the federal census-takers, it is ar
gued that the actual population of Chi
cago now is not more than; 100000,
instead of the 100000 claimed, and
little in advance Of the 100000 Of
1892. III, ~ ~ i
The reason for this standing still is
found by the Suns correspondent in
the wave Of restrictive legislation
which since 1890 has swept over Hi
nois, making it difficult if not impossi-
BILE for an outsider to come in and do
business in many lines or practice a
profession. Doubtless the legal monop-
oily thus created for those who are in
has operated to prevent growth, but an
even more active agent in this direction
is the labor disputes that have arisen
between employers and employees.
These have made it increasingly diff
cult for manufacturers to meet outside
competition and in several cases have
{ caused, large concerns to move to
smaller towns where their workmen can
live more cheaply and be better salts
fed with conditions. - 49,.
The confusion worse COMPOUNDED into
which the traction systems of Chicago
have fallen, while the city has been
playing with the municipal ownership
idea, is responsible for an enormous
and costly loss of time for its citizens.
The retarding influence of this fact on
urban growth is tremendous. -
But, after all, the chief cause of
Chicago's standing, still is the growth
on the periphery of its territory of
great trade and manufacturing centers
like Minneapolis, which are nearer to the
producing and the consuming fields and
which have natural advantages that are
making Chicago competition increasing
~ difficult. The passage Of the grain
primary from Chicago to Minneapolis
is merely one phase of this resistless
tendency. The decision of the Armours
to build their model packing plant here
is another.
Since Chicago must divide it's com
merce and it's manufacturing with it's
rivals, its growth must be slow.

HOW SATAN ovERWoRKs

DR.. Stephen H. Robin. pastor of the
Columbus Avenue Universalist church,
Boston, was calling on an old lady, one OF
his Pensioners, before going away on
his summer vacation, when his church is
always closed. The old lady, evidently
does not believe In ministerial vacations,
for she said: doctor. remember Satan

How Public Spirit Is Destroyed.

up1iC spirit JnaJ IS eHeCJiVo, aCC1V-
ity in the service Of the community,
unremunerated devotion to public in
terest, is something that few communi-
ties appreciate but which few that
thrive and grow can get along without.
The public spirit we have in mind is
that kind which realizes that it is
necessary for someone to sacrifice time
and strength and private interest to
the public good, and makes the sacrifice
with no other thought of reward than
the consciousness Of duty done and sat
isfaction in results that operate to the
advantage Of the community.
1t is therefore particularly repre-
hensible when anyone who has made
such sacrifice of time and personal in
terest becomes the subject Of malicious,
insulting and vengeful attack. The ex-
preston of private opinion, the vent
ing Of personal envy and jealousy are
bad enough in such cases, but when
writer's for the public press indulge IN
assaults of this kind it is notice to any
one else who may be disposed to place
himself in similar position, that by
reason of his activity and his useful
ness in the public behalf, he may become
the target for insinuations and impli-
cations which are not only mean, con-
temptibfe and utterly indefensible, but
grossly ilibelous.., .
The. Minneapolis public has recently
had an exhibition by one Of it's news
papers of this kind of treatment of
public spirit. It cannot be viewed with
anything else than the severest con-
domination because it is source of
injury to the community to the extent
that it is effective and accomplishes
the end aimed at. It is calculated to
deprive the city of the services of any
man, no matter how capable and dill
gent, who may be disposed to accept
leadership in local affairs. ~. =
Minneapolis hash It any of that quail
ifcation or disposition to spare. The
citizen who will devote his time and
energies unpaid to the public good is
none too numerous here. Time was
when Minneapolis was noted for pub
lie spirit. Time has come when there
is lamentable, lack Of it. So it hap
pens that the venting Of spite, the in
diligence in ridicule, sarcasm and SLAM
der, while it can have no serious conse-
quences to the individual, may be ex-
ceedingly expensive to the community.
Not many men. are going to offer them
selves or allow themselves to be drafted
in positions where small, mean, mali
cious natures may traduce them, hold
them up to ridicule and scorn and seek
to destroy as far as possible their USE
fulness and standing. s
There is only one way In which the
community can afford to meet such
treatment. Of useful citizens, and that is
by coming to their support with assur-
ances of the confidence and co-opera-
ton to which they are entitled. That
spirit will speedily discourage the
slanderer and vilifer and destroy the
effect Of his malignant assaults, for he
is usually wolfsh coward who attacks
only when he thinks his pack is with
him. - ..<,.s.. . g.. + -
