The Rules of the Road.

less, he appears to be responsible for a
very serious accident, happening when
his machine was on the wrong side OF
the street and apparently going at a
rate Of speed not consistent with due
regard for the safety Of ether people,
I especially at time Of day when the
streets are crowded with pedestrians

Miss Evelyn Vaughn, the new leading
Lady Of the Ralph Stuart stock company,
Is being most favorably introduced to the
Minneapolis public this week as Helen
Truman In THE Wife, Altho the role
is not great one, 1t is nevertheless one
of many possibilities and all of these are
appreciated by Miss Vaughn. She has
magnificent speaking voice and has
learned how to use it effectively. She has
temperament, and her most striking ef-

Of her art. The company has been great

An evidence that the world do move

legally prohibited "Uncle Tom shows

due in great measure to the one note

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Recreation Places for the Children.

Recreation Places for the Children.
To the Editor of The Journal. ~.. ..s-
I am glad to find that some are in ia
vor Of recreation grounds for the chill
dren in the downtown or congested dis
tricts Of the city. The longer we live the
more we realize the importance of such
outdoor breathing places, for just In pro-
portion as they are provided in the va
rious cities, so surely does the future
strength and vitality and the moral tone
'of the nation advance. ....,-.. ~
The city Of Chicago has provided such
places for the children, and we feel sure
that the city Of Minneapolis (Which al
ways moves in the wake of progress) will
do what is in its power for those in the
congested districts of the city before the
land becomes too valuable to be acquired.
I venture to say that there are not
more than 40 per cent Of the children that
are even able to spend their time in the
parks that now exist, as they are too
far away from those that live in the down
town quarters of the city. Hence the
great need there is for the prompt and
practical consideration of this most i'm

Germany Stands Alone.

One result of the Algeciras confer
ence seems to have been the breaking
up of the triple alliance composed or
Germany, Italy and Austria. The con-
ference showed Italy voting every time
with France and her delegates interest
ing themselves urgently in bringing
about settlement which would rebound
T to the credit of France. Germany
could depend upon only one vote in the
conference, that of Austria, and the sup
port of Austria is not of any moment In
q western European matter. The Aus
TRAN empire, it is recognized, would be
likely to break up in case her emperor
tried to use the army in triple alliance
cause Austria is not a power any
longer. It is a machine which will run
for a time if it's speed is not forced.
Germany therefore comes out Of the
Algeciras conference alone. Alone she
fought and alone she gained half VIC
tory. The knowledge that she has no
allies is valuable to Germany. This
was partly her reason for forcing
conference. King Edward had visited
Paris and followed that visit with call
at Rome and one on the King Of Portu-
gal. It was rumored that he was &C.
menting national understandings wher-
ever he went. The kaiser wanted to
know whether it was true and he has
#, laarned-that King Edward was smooth
= eneugh to form an understanding with
France, which Frenchmen consider as
advantageous to their country as the
treaty with Russia. He learned that
King Edward was strong enough to de-
tach Italy from the triple alliance and
make her practically a member Of the
new alliance of Mediterranean powers
Great Britain, Italy and France.
The diplomacy Of the king Of Great
Britain has apparently been steadily di
reeted toward minimizing the import
ance Of Germany in European politics
Why's Because Germany has suddenl.
l. blossomed out as the industrial rival O.
L Great Britain. It is not so much
question Of the old division Of the grea
powers of Europe as it is fight upo1
the modern lines Of trade. The Brit
ish king has been fighting the battle
not of the mobiles or the royal family
but of the Golfers, the iron men and tn
brewers of Great Britain.
