knew the Meaning OF Space.

Miss Frances Wilson, who recently
became the wife of Charles Huard, a
French artist, under circumstances
charmingly romantic, was in her child
hood close friend of Eugene Fields.
The poet-journalist was very fond of
children. To this fondness innumer-
able children's poems in his daily
"Sharps and Flats" column bore wit
ness. And in his frequent visits to
the Wilson residence no one welcomed
him more warmly than the little girl.
She said of him the other day:
81 can still see his tall, gaunt figure,
and l can still hear his musical and
deep voice uttering jests gravely.
HE was always testing. One night
in May he was walking with a young
lady and me. The young lady was
romantic. She looked up at the sky,
spangled with stars, and said to Mr..
Field:
"'Space! Space! How wonderful it,
is! Does it not overwhelm you?'
Indeed it does,' said Mr.. Field in
a deep, awed Tone Il have column

WILL THE HOUSE DEFEAT 1T?

1t now lies with the national house
Of representatives to say whether or
not the money necessary to success
fully carry out the gigantic scheme of
draining the Red river valley shall be
available at once, or whether years
of talk and planning shall yet be nee
essary before the garden spot of the
great northwest shall be clear of its
only drawback.
Yesterdays dispatches stated that
the bill had passed the senate, seques-
trating one million dollars from the
reclamation fund for drainage pur-
poses. 1t is limited In these dispatches
that the California delegation in the
lower house will oppose the measure,
and from this the conclusion might
be hastily drawn that the bill faces
defeat. Time only can determine this.
But 1t would seem that there would
have been as much opposition from
this source in the senate. It must be
remembered, too, that the California
delegation is not the lower house of
congress. and while that state may be
in similar need Of drainage in some
parts, it must be remembered also
that it is producing none of the public
lands, or reclamation fund. This dis
tinction is admitted by the majority
Of congress. and is the essential Diff
ference between legislation Of this
character which is somewhat local,
and permanent improvements which
are paid Tor out Of the general fund
In the treasury.

4 Ripe Old Age.

The United States has recognized
this principle of justice in the grant
ing Of the public domain ever since
the formation of new states began to
be admitted.
In view of these facts it hardly
seems probable that the lower house
of congress will set aside the prece-
dents of the century and refuse to
pass the bill which has already passed
the senate.
With the use of the funds provided
in the senate, bill, those who have so
persistently, and zealously worked in
the interests of irrigation would be
able to carry their plans into rapid
execution, and the country that is now
producing small yields of grain would
become one of the greatest harvest
fields Of the world.

Pauline Hall.

Local theatre goers will hail with
delight the announcement of the ap-
pearance of that celebrated prima
donna, Pauline Hall and her big
opera company at the Metropolitan
theatre on Thursday, Feb. Is. Dor
cas-" the new opera in which Miss Hall
is appearing this year is by Harry
and Edward Paulton, authors of "Er-
minie," in which the prima donna be-
came public idol during the long
and latest Paulton success. However,
Miss Hal lappears to have hit upon
the triumph of her life. While diff
fering wholly in theme and treat
ment, "Dorcas," is said to possess all
Of the elements which contributed to
the unprecedented success of Err
MIME" Its charming love story is
dainty mirth-provoking and it's music
dashing, tuneful and catchy. 1t has
been staged in the most gorgeous
manner, the various stage settings
representing the very acme of the
scenic artists skill. The costumes are
beautiful in extreme and add a wealth
of color to the ensembles. When Miss
makes her appearance here she will
be surrounded by her original New
York company without the slightest of
change or elimination of production.
While local theatre goers have had the
opportunities of seeing many of the
big New York successes, it has some
times happened that they have suf-
fered at the hands of an inferior cast,
the presenting companies have been
materially cheapened at the end of the
New York engagement Managers
Nelson Roberts and Frank B. Arnold,
under whose direction Miss Halls
present triumphant tour is being
made, have not pursued this short
sighted policy. and as a result their
star is everywhere being greeted by
large and enthusiastic audiences.

STRONG MUNICIPAL GOVERN.
MENT.

The spring elections in the munich
palties in this state do not receive
the attention in many cities that their
Importance merits.
1t is a half recognized faith that mu-
nicipal matters conduct themselves,
and especially that the city executive
b mere fgurehead in administra-
ton affairs.
No greater mistake was ever made,
and no other mistake can have such a
disastrous effect upon the prosperity
and progress of the city itself
1t is important that members of the
legislative branch of the city govern
ment be composed of men who are
not only able to legislate for the pres
emit interests of the city, but who can
see in the future, can comprehend the
developments that are probable and
80 plan the public improvements that
they can be adjusted to the changed
condition of the future merely by en-
largement rather than by reconstruc-
ton.
Public improvements must be made
commensurate with the ability of the
city to pay without taxation becoming
burdensome, and causing it to be
stunned by enterprises seeking loca-
ions.
But this idea Of conservatism should
not be carried so far that it retards
the progress of the city, suffer the
streets to become good pasturage from
the growing heritage, the sidewalks to
be eye sores and dangerous thorough
fares. and makes the whole appear
ance of the city something like the
style of Sweet Auburn" of Goldsmith
fame.
Qualifications such as these are not
found on every street corner, and their
selection should be a matter of serious
concern.
But the more important position is
that of the executive officer. In his
care is the present welfare of the mu-
nicipality.
All the municipal statutes ever plac-
ed upon the ordinance books are
worthless except as they are enforced
and executed.
It II therefore important to the well
faro Of the municipalities of this state
that men of the very highest execu-
tive ability be selected for such places.

their cities at heart. but who are will

the Grand Forks Times must be a
seer. He predicted that the reform
papers would not state why they fail
ed to advocate reform in state matters
which obviously need reforming, and
they didn't"

not yet come to regard The Times as

themselves as on the witness stand to

he had always "been in the forefront

with emphasis upon his own bravery
in two battles IN Cuba, that were
fought the same day. at this point

KEEP THE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL.

1t is regrettable fact that many
of the larger pupils, especially the
boys, are taken out of school in the
spring to help with the work, and
are thus deprived of considerable
part of the advantages of the school
term.
The Evening Times does not believe
that book lore alone is the passport
to success in life, even if the COM
mercialism be eliminated.
Education should be development
of mind-the power to comprehend
new matters and solve new problems
1t is not merely an accumulation of
facts and the power to repeat rules.
These may be the foundation, but
the appreciation of them to the things
of everyday life is education.
1t must be admitted that consider
able of this application is learned in
practical life. But the foundation
the development and growth-of the
brain must be laid in the class room.
1t is the laying of this foundation
that is hindered if not altogether pre-
vented by the taking of the children
from the schools in the middle of the
term.
1t is true that forty years ago, many
of the successful men did not have the
advantages Of even fair education,
but it must also be admitted that the
battle in life was less strenuous than
that now, and that where one succeed
ed a hundred failed. The records of
the former have survived because they
were exceptional, while that of the
latter have never been mentioned.
Now the majority must succeed
while the failures are the exception.
This condition is only possible be-
cause of general education. Men may
succeed without it, but they would
have succeeded better with it.
The practical may come from the
farm, the workshop and the counting
room, but without comprehensive
foundation there will always be a
superfnability about it that will pre-
vent progress and make the victim a
servant rather than leader.
There is but one time to lay this
foundation, and that is when the
mind is in the transitory stage and
when development is not prevented or
even prohibited by the efforts to apply
that which is not known
Once childhood is past, the golden
opportunities will forever be gone and
the mind will carry it's impeachment
through life, struggling against fate
and always outstripped in the race.
No matter how earnest the effort
to overcome the obstacle, it can never
be done.
The child is not his own master and
his life should be shaped in child
hood that it will be the most valuable
to him in maturity.
