Contradictions of the Primary.

Mankato's vote on congressman is
being cited in South Dakota as an in
stance Of the queer workings Of our pri-
mary election law. Mr.. McCleary car
ried the city in the primaries by large
majority, getting 1,340 votes. He lost
it in the general election, receiving 922
votes in Mankato to $50 for Mr.. Ham
mond. Over 400 voters of the city sup
ported the congressman in the primaries
and then went back on him at the polls.
Republicans who voted for him in the
party primaries would certainly sup
port him as against democrat, so the
400 were no doubt democrats, nearly all
of them. In other words, that many
people helped nominate McCleary who
were really not for him, or supporters
of the principles he stands for. In this
case they were more than enough to
change the result of the primary cleo
ton in the district.
Many instances Of the same kind
might be quoted. They make the
popular choice' feature Of the pri-
mary farce. It is no wonder that
some of the newly elected legislature
are sharpening knives to operate on
the primary law, while others want to
kill 1t outright with club.

The Course of True Love.

Anxious dramatists who are ever on
the verge Of tremens for want of an
idea have only to look about them and
pick up from real life plots which make

Prince Joachim, a subject Of the Ger
man kaiser, and throws together a
scenario for which Belasco or Fitch

Prince Joachim fell a prey to the
wiles of an actress, a class of persons
for whom he has a right royal pen
chant. He was in love with Marie
sulzer and wanted to marry her. But
the laws of Germany, which the kaiser
promised to enforce impartially, debar
q prince who marries a commoner-
1t an actress like Marie could be that!
This sacrifice Joachim was not prepared
to make. No more was Marie. Joachim
minus the court did not look so good to
her.
In this predicament his highness
thought out plan. A contract with a
consideration was entered into between
Marie and a bankrupt Austrian baron
to marry Marie and leave her at the
altar. Marie would then get a divorce,
marry the prince and, being a baroness
at the time Of her second marriage, be
eligible to the inner circle. The Aus
trian marriage was duly solemnized, the
baron kept his word about taking the
agreed upon header Just at this juno
ture the kaiser butted in with an order
to the prince to join his regiment in
South Africa. ~.
Here Is where the comic opera man

Marie is in London. The prince is on

kaiser is at the northeast corner Of the
plot in Berlin. The kaiser has banished
the prince. The baron has threatened
unless he is paid to divorce Marie on
the square, which would make her Miss
sulzer again and ineligible at court.
Who will pull7her out Of her troubles,

Consolidation in Religion,

Z" The spirit Of consolidation is in the
air. It is the supreme economic and
social tendency Of the times. Even the
churches have been attacked by it and
certainly there is much to be said for
the movements now in the making for
the consolidation Of denominations
whose beliefs are practically identical.
One Of the latest projects in this
direction is that which committees of
the Congregational, United Brethren
and Methodist Protestant churches are
striving to work out. The last named
church, by the way, should not be con-
fused with the much larger and quite
distinct denomination, the Methodist
Episcopal church. Committees appoint
ed to formulate conditions of union
have recently reported. One commit
tee has perfected a plan for CONSOLIDATE
ing the publishing work of all three
churches and syndicating much of the
material, without affecting the formal
existence Of present interpretations or
interfering with educational institu-
tions. Another proposes plan Of pol
ity whereby the communicates shall be
organized in district associations, an
nual conferences and national council
to meet quadrennially. In this way
it is expected that complete fusion will
in the end be attained.
The tendency of the religious denom-
nations to "get together is one Of
the most hopeful signs Of the times.
Competition Is. desirable in business,
but in religion cooperation is better.

Noise and Sadness in Our Cities.

y P. O'Connor, returning to London
after his third visit to America, is writ
ing his impressions-a duty which no
self-respecting visitor to our shores
from the other side ever omits. But
"Tay Pay 50 impressions are rather
more interesting than those Of the or
binary visitor, because he has ideas and
knows how to express them.
His impressions of New York-and
he intimates that it is the KEYNOTE of
the people and the life of America
is one "of deafening noise, overwhe1m-
ing and bewildering speed, and in con-
trast with this, Of universal and brood
Ing Sadness" In the subway there was
"deafening tumult and appalling
speed,' where conversation was impos-
sible and human beings sat "silent,
self absorbed, isolated and sad. -
There was a "gigantic energy outside
and independent Of man," and thru all
it's manifestations the Americans were
proceeding as quietly and soberly as if
the "horror, tumult and chaosn were
the normal conditions Of life. "To COM
pare the tide Of life as it runs in Lon
don with the tide Of life as it runs in
New York;" declares Mr.. O'Connor,
els to compare the swirl Of some noun
tain stream with the roar and fury of
the unbounded ocean, In the bril-
liant white marble dining room Of the
hotel and In the mad rush Of the speed
ing trains, he saw people "not talka-
tive, not gay, not expansive as the
American is usually supposed to be-"
but silent, absorbed and sad.
This, Of course, is an impressionistie
picture with no more resemblance to
the reality than the impressionistic
painting has to real life. Americans
in London get an impression of stolid-
ity and impassivity among the people
that is far from being a truthful one.
MIR. O'Connor should have seen the
American at a baseball game for in
stance, or at the theater or at social
gathering. Yet the noise of our large
cities is undoubtedly most depressing
agency. It is an evil to whose abate-
ment we have given little attention,
tho its effect in the causation Of nerv-
GUS ills must be very great. The Eng
lish have given it no more attention
than. we have, but the pulse Of their
civic life is so much slower that noise
production as concomitant of urban
existence has not reached the pitch it
has with us. The noise problem must
one day be attacked with vigor and
common sense. It would be so easy to
abate large proportion Of city noises
that the wonder is so little attention
has been paid to the matter.

strange precedent has been established BY
the state railroad and warehouse commission
IN the case OF O'Keefe and his attorney, James
Manahan. The commission has ruled that a
client cannot be represented by his attorney in
matters to be Investigated before that august
body.-Wabash Herald.
The commission has not made such a.
ruling. Neither the Shippers association
nor Mr.. O'Keefe were parties to the COM
modify rate case. which was instituted
by the commission itself. Neither Man
ahan nor his clients had any right to par
tfcipate In the hearing. except on invi-
tation OF the commission on one side or
the railroads on the other. The O'Keefe
case Is not up for hearing yet. and will
not be taken up till the commodity rate
case is closed. When it is heard, it Ia
quite certain that Mr.. O'Keefe will be
granted the right. to appear by attorney.

adopt q general plan Of railroad devel-
opment that is harmonious and prac-
tlcable. Railroads will not be built,
as they have been in the United States,
without much regard to harmonious de-
yelopment. The vast amount Of detailed
information gathered in the surveys
carried on by the various countries will
be at the service of those who build
the railroads, which will be likely to
follow out the routes already laid out.
Thus IN the course Of time, the Pan
American railroad will be built and an
ideal will be achieved.

What Other People Think
Argument for New Union station.

|
To the Editor Of The Journal.
It Is taken for granted that the com.
mittee Of the Commercial club appointed
some time ago to consult with Mr.. Hill
on union station matters is doing its
work That committee is composed of
able men Of large affairs who. no doubt,
will do all in their power to secure an
adequate building. No reflection is in
tended on the work Of that committee.
It occurs to me that Minneapolis Is pc
culiarly situated for the construction Of
magnificent union passenger station.
In st. Paul the entrance to the union
station for trains has often been. COM
pared to the neck of bottle, in that it Is
narrower at point where all the trains
must enter the station tracks. More
over. all the trains that enter the st.
Paul station, excepting those Of the Mil
Waukee, the Rock Island, the. Great
Western and those of the Omaha bound
westward, must either back in or out Of
the station causing delay.
ihere Is no streetcar service nearer
than block, and that is by what
Is known as the depot loop" a
thing like every ten or fifteen min
utes' unless there has been recent
! Improvement The station is at the foot
VI olpley street, a narrow thorofara
which the city has been trying for years

Inc contrast between MINNEAPOLIS and

goes Is almost as wide as the antipodes.
| Could the present location of the not
quite union station be better if it were

! lar oe!o" the grade Of the street, and
| tnere Is room for as many tracks as ara
needed, provided the city vacates Higf,
street, That open space in front of the

street. II would be necessary to do some
excavation for additional tracks. but that
would form the only engineering Diff
Guilty.
Hennep1n avenue would not be in the
| way. The station could be built over
| the avenue, spanning it with a mighty
trlumphal arch, that Of itself would form
magnificent gateway to the city. Street.
| cars and other vehicles could pass free
and uninterrupted thru such an arch,
ianolng passengers at the waiting room
doors, under shelter. The building could
De pullt over the tracks, something like
| the Illinois Central at Twelfth street
station In Chicago. The main waiting
rooms, the restaurants, and all the con-
Ven1ences Of a modern railway station

strangers waiting for trains would be
given fine views Of the river and falls,
the mills, the university, on one side, and
OF commercial Minneapolis on the other.
| Leaving the station, they would obtain
the first view of the city looking I'D
Henr epin and Nicollet avenues two
broad clean, well-lighted and well built
up avenues. Strangers outward bound
would look down those avenues thru
block after block Of fine buildings, to
