GADsKI SINGS TONIGHT
Great German Diva Is Here and in
Excellent Voice.

With Nine. Gadski determined to de-
vote her time for the next two years
to the people in her home land, from
whom she laments that she has been
absent so much, it is no wonder that
lovers Of vocal music, and especially
the friends and admirers of Nine.
Gadski and their name is legion, will
gather in large numbers this evening
at the First Baptist church to hear
the great German singer.
Nine. Gadski is in superb voice, and
has never been SO well as this season.
She has found that in recital she has
a field Of work equally attractive with
grand opera, in which she has been so
signally successful, and one in which
she has won equal triumphs. Her tour
this year has thoroughly demonstrated
that she is as dear to the heaSs Of
the American people as any prima
donna that has ever been heard here.
Indeed, it is doubtful if there: is more
than one or two who can vie with her
in the warmth of the welcome she
receives or in the praise which has
been accorded her.

Selecting a Senator ].

In deciding to incorporate the in
dorsement of a candidate for United
States senator in the state convention
cali sthes republican state committee
acted wisely. 1t is the practice in Min
nesota for state conventions to indorse
the senators, in season and out of sea-
son, but as the convention call never in
cluded that subject, the action was re-
garded as Of very little binding force,
and Saff doubtful propriety. The com
mittee has now given due notice, and
no one can complain Of snap Judgment
when the convention votes its indorse-
nent Of Senator Nelson, as it will GER
tainly do. That Endorsement should
be binding on republican members Of

the legislature, for it will be an express
sion OF the popular will.
Minnesota has gone on record repeat
edly in favor Of electing senators by
popular vote. Party conventions have
stated the principle at every opportun-
ity, and the legislature has twice sent
memorials to congress. AS congress has
spersistently blocked the reform, our
state can only show it's adherence to the
principle by putting senators on the
same basis as state officers, and placing
them in nomination at the convention.
There is no question then in selecting
members OF the Legislature, whether
they are for one man or another for SEN
ator. They are merely expected to
register the popular, will and vote for
the nominee. =, ,:-... .
Previous resolutions by state conven-
tions have had only complimentary

will be properly binding on republican

Minneapolis Conservatism.

r.E-
Some measure of congratulation is
due the officers and directors of the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce for
the spirit of conservatism kept alive
and the freedom from internal dissen-
sion on the part of that commercial
body. At present the grain trade of
the entire country is having attention
drawn to Chicago, where another Of
the. fights over speculative rules, that
have worked SO powerfully against the
growth of the Chicago Board Of Trade,
is on. Chicago has taken action that
will affect speculation in Milwaukee,
which in away has become rival
grain market Of some Importance, and
a representative Of the Milwaukee
chamber seeks to enjoin the Chicago
board from putting the new rules into
effect, and has hiss case before a Chi
cago court. $3.50 81
The whole makes situation disturb
ing and unsettling, and not likely tc
benefit either of the contending par.
ties in the long run. Minneapolis has
no direct interest, and is taking no &C
tive part in the fight. The changes il
the Chicago rules do not work any i'll

likely to be beneficial, as throwing

Judge Amidon on the Law.

Isl Judge Amidon' thoughtful address
before the state bar association fol-
lows the general lines Of the Yale adj
dress of Secretary Taft in that he de-
plores the facility of appeals in Amer
lean criminal law. 800
. "We have long passed the, point
where it is possible to convict amin amin.
nocent man, he declared. 1.-THE prob
lem that confronts US today: is whether
we can convict guilty one. -, - 3:
cit is true,' Judge Amidon con-
tinued, Hthat we do convict and i'm
prison men, but if the accused has
money to hire counsel, or, as We say,
to make a fight, he can escape. The
case can be enmeshed in such a mass
Of technicalities beclouding the minds
of the jurors as to result in a miscar-
riage Of justice.''
There seems to be two objections to
the working of the criminal law of the
country-frst, the fact that juries fire.
quently do not agree where the evil
dence appears plain; second, the de-
PENDANT frequently escapes thru APP
peals which are taken on purely tech
meal grounds. The cure for one of these
abuses lies with the courts themselves.
Judge Amidon says that go per cent Of
all the cases tried in our courts are
appealed and in 46 per cent of these
new trials are granted, generally. on
errors which do not gravely affect the
main issue. + -.
The fact that such appeals are, SO
often successful reflects not upon the
B American law, but upon the refining i1s
stinctsl of our jurists. They are succeed.

Evidently the Long amendment to
the railway rate bill has had an import
ant effect upon the course of the bin in
the senate. 1t has already realigned
the senators, those who favor rate legis-
lation getting right into the fight, which
has been tagging, while those ponderous
constitutional senators who have been
talking profoundly of the legal aspects
OF the rate bill. while pretending to be
warm friends Of the president, are sud
denly caught in a draught. These SEN
ators are pretty hostile at the bring ing

tagged as satisfactory to the White
