TwLca Bitten.

The old master knew all about
"cribbing" as a schoolboy and had not
forgotten the little tricks and lodges.
One day during an examination the
keen-eyed teacher observed one of
his pupils take out his watch every
minute or two. The pedagogue grew
suspicious Finally he strobe slowly
down the aisle and stopped in front OF
Willie's desk. let me see your
watch" he commanded.
Yes. sir" was the meek reply.
The teacher opened the front of the
case He looked somewhat sheepish
when he read the single word, Fooled"
But he was a shrewd man. He was
not to be thrown off the scent so cas-
lily. He opened the back of the case.
Then he was satisfied. There he read,

Roosevelt and Bryan.

Governor Johnson, who has been do
INC Washington, visited one president
whom he greatly admires, but could not:
leave the city without nominating an
other whom presumably he adnires still
more. The governor Of Minnesota be-
lieyes that Mr.. Bryan will be the nomi-
nee Of the democracy next time, but
that the republicans will not have the
pleasure of running President Roose-
welt again.
There is just suggestion in the
coupling of the names as tho Roosevelt
and Bryan stood for the same things
and that one compliments the other. To
accept such a loose summing up Of the
/ two men would be to fall into a serious
error. Roosevelt and Bryan are anti
podal except in one thing, they are
both honest men working for what they
believe to be right. One might say that
this is a very large point Of contact
and it is, but it does not make then
ideEtical in thought by any means

Business for the Grand Jury.

City Magistrate Leroy B. Crane of
New York is starting a crusade against
what he calls the robbery of the poor
by industrial insurance policies. Mr..
Crane says he is getting more evidence
than he ever dreamed possible of cor
ruption and deceit practiced by these
companies. He tells of one poor WON
an who had a policy of 800 in one of
the companies since 1886, called a lspe-
cial policy and due in 1907. No divi
dend ever having been paid, and the
full amount being nearly all paid in
the confding creature, needing money
applied a few days ago for a paid-ur
policy. The company offered her $3.50
and she received considerable abuse fo1
asking anything rs.

poor in these ways, while paying thei
officers enormous salaries. He is 90

jury and to the legislature. -

has never recanted his faith in the
feasibility of bimetallism, tho it has
been shown in every practical and
scientific way to be unsound. Mr..
Roosevelt is pretty strong, stronger
than most of his countrymen, on the
subject Of an efficient army and q
strong navy. Mr.. Bryan is inpatient Of
projects which look at all militant be-
cause he imagines an imperialistic
ghost behind every armed government
defense.
But there is broader difference still
between them. Roosevelt is an indivld-
ualist, Bryan collectivist. Every
thing that Roosevelt is doing is done
with the idea Of warding off the social
istic regime which the monopolizlng OF
the transportation and producing agen-
cies Of the country fosters. Mr.. Bryan,
if he is consistent, should welcome the
logical development Of the trusts to the
point where they would pass into the
hands of the government. Mr.. Roose-
welt wants strong, efficient, pure gov
eminent within the well-known lines OF
government effort. Mr.. Bryan's later
utterances appear to point toward sym
pathy with paternal government.
:. So far from being complementary
then, the two men present striking con
trasts and perhaps nothing could more
forcibly illustrate certain diverging ten
denotes in the economic history Of tn,
country than a contest for the presi
dency between them. FL e.

The Smelling Car Service.

To the Editor of The journal.
. L notice in tonight's. Jour-na / in an
article in reference to the Fort Smelling
bridge, the statement on your part that
since Minneapolis had a streetcar line to
the Fort Smelling reservation that this
city was drawing a good share of the
trade. of the soldiers at the fort. This is
a delusion. We get very little more than
formerly, largely because streetcar ia
cilities favor st. Paul almost as much az
formerly. True, the St. Paul line does
not. cross the bridge to the reservation,
but bus line is run, which lands officers
and ladies right at the doors of their
houses and the army buildings. The ter
minus of the Minneapolis line is as far
from the officers quarters as ST. Pauls,
and the walking is not nearly so good. In
wet weather a woman can hardly. get to
| the Minneapolis cars without wading in
several inches of water.

Moving Toward Filtration.

The council last. night in setting aside
30 600 from the waterworks surplus
for the purpose of starting filtration
plant took step which appears to IN
sure pure water at some time in the tu-
ture. Coupled with the motion to set
aside this sum was a resolution to put
before the people at the next election
the question Of voting bonds in the sum
Of a million dollars for filtration pur-
poses. The immediate effect OF the
setting aside of $4,000 is to secure the
land offered by Mr.. Lowry. Should the
bond issue fail at the coming election
it may carry at another time. Every
thing points to the fact that at some
time Minneapolis must filter her water
supply. IF the city should come to the
conclusion to build plant after the
chance to acquire the land in question
had passed, the city would be consldera
bly embarrassed to find a location fol
