The Perils of New Ideas.

A good message is often spoiled by
a bad messenger. No doubt the idea
of an exchange Of professors between
two great universities, one of America,
the other Of Germany, was a cosmo-
politan conceit. But the United States
appears to have been quite unfortunate
in its first representative abroad.
If the reports are correct, Professor
Burgess, who opened the American
course of lectures in Berlin, is sort
of national roorbach. He is said to
have told his class that in America
the Monroe doctrine, and the high pro-
tective tariff are almost obsolete, and
he dragged in the name of the presi-
dent in such a way as to about give
the impression that these were the
views Of the head of the nation.
Professor Burgess may believe that
both of these statements are true, but
it is quite impossible that he had any
encouragement from the president to
make them. Mr.. Roosevelt has been an
upholder of the Monroe doctrine, and
one of the causes Of complaint against
him in the senate is that he has ex-
tended the doctrine beyond what some
conceive to be it's legitimate sphere.
There has never been time in the
history of this country when the Mon
roe doctrine was more alive. It was
bad enough for Professor Burgess to
palm off his personal opinion for that
of America. but it was doubly unfor-
tunate that he should seem to assume
an ambassadorial character.
Judging from the indiscretions Of
this professor, it will be well enough
to have the next batch of lectures
baked in America before they are served
hot or cold to Europe.

section here showed to great advantage.
There was a similar conception in LISTS

battle cry which calls the soul from its

It's reading was quite adequate and Of

the same haunting woe of these two

Nine. Anna Hellstrom, who has made
many friends In her former appearances,

she is still winsome and buoyant while
her voice has lost none Of its rich quail

that dramatic power which has delighted
her hearers before. Her first number was
t'Ah, Fors e. LUZ from "Traviata," which
she sang in Swedish. 1t proved a. happy
selection and Nine. Hellstrom sang it with
fervor, infusing even the coloratura
work. executed with ease, with dramatic
significance. Her second selection
"Knowest Thou the Land from Thomas
"Mignon,'' was not as well suited to her
style. The singers voice seemed too
robust and even too buoyant to interpret
the simple, plaintive lyric, SO full Of
what the Germans call .'heimweh.' After
repeated calls she sang an encore for
each number.

LICKED" BY LINCOLN
Olympia, Wash, Justice-elect Once
Trounced by the Railsplitter,

John G.. Crouch, who has Just been
elected to the office of Justice of the
peace in Olympia, has the unique dis
tinction Of being perhaps the only per-
son alive who ever was thoroly
Htrounced" by Abraham Lincoln. He
also received his first package of Fourth
of July frecrackers from the hands of
the martyred president. The frecrack-
ers were given as balm for the whip
ping, which proved to have been unde-
served.
! Crouch was born in 1s43 on a farm
at Rochester, Ill, and as a boy farmer
he supplied the Lincoln household with
farm products. Once he had occasion
to enter the Lincoln barn, just in time
to fall into the grasp Of "Abe,' who
was in a thoroly exasperated mood be-
cause someone had been stealing eggs
from the barn. Without looking to see
who it was he had hold of, Lincoln
proceeded to lay on with a buggy whip.
When he had cooled down trife he
took the boy to the door and in the

mistake, and expressed much regret,
and as a peace offering, gave young
Crouch three packages of frecrackers,

A BOOK OF LITERARY ESSAYS
From rambles in natures by-paths and
association with their wild denizens,
Bradford Torrey has turned his attention
to his bookshelves. We suppose they are
his own, for one could hardly write with
such intimate acquaintance with Hazlitt,
Fitz Gerald, Thoreau, Stevenson, Keats
and others unless they were friends on
the shelf. and that Is the title he gives
to his latest book-FrIends on the Shelf
a book Of literary essays Mr.. Torrey's
nature essays are delightfully."- intimate
studies and altogether readable, and his
literary essays are like unto them. They
are such as serve to make one better
acquainted with his literary friends and
they do so with charm of manner that
is sure to add to Mr.. Torrey's popularity.
The hrst OF the essays Is about William
Hazlitt, and besides much else contains
an interesting bit Of literary informatio
that we had not picked up before, and
which, Mr.. Torrey says, Hazlitt's biog-
raphers do not appear to know. 1t is
that the boy Hazlitt once lived in the
old North parsonage at King Oak HILL
Weymouth, Mass, Gin which had lived
some time before a girl named Abigail
Smith. afterward better known as Abb
gail Adams, wife Of the second president
of the United States and mother Of the
sixth" Which shows that Mr.. Torrey's
essays are something more than mere
musings on the qualities and characters
Of his friends on the SHELF -,~
The name Of the book, by the way
is rather ambiguous. A member of 7 h g
jour- staff, On seeing the book and
reading the title. remarked: 1--WE all
have EN-" Doubtless he had in mind
some of the results of the recent political
campaign. However, this new book Of
Mr.. Torrey's Is Of kind that one likes
to have among his bookshelf friends.

Dewey
Comedy excellence and novelty is
combined in the "Tiger Lilies - offer
ing next week at the Dewey theater.
This troupe Of burlesquers will appear in
two humorous concoctions, the first be-
ing farce called IA Temporary Hus-
band' and the other a travesty On
wireless telegraphy, "A Trip to the
Moon.' George P. Murphy, German
dialect comedian, is the chief funmaker.
The entertainment is up-to-date and
the olio more than Of average merit.
The chorus of the "Tiger Lilies is
beautiful and talented. Unlike some
choruses, the feminine members Of
Tiger Lilies" are graceful and youth
full, and wear dashing gowns to per-
lection. The scenic adornment Is Of
high artistic merit. AS to the clio, the
following list will give an idea: May
Belmont, a sweet-faced soubret; Grant
and La .Velle, two well-built athletes;
Murphy, Harlow and Barrett, who keep
up riot Of mirth by their antics in
farce called "All on Account of
Pinky'; Corbly and Burke, refined
Irish comedians and dancers, and the
"Tigerscope,' which offers something
new in a moving picture way. The man
agement will also produce the origi-
nal Gans-Nelson fight pictures, showing
the fight by rounds that was fought
at Goldfeld, New, Sept. 3.

ROMANCE IN THE MIDST. OF AN
INDUSTRIAL BATTLE.-A good fight is
something that sets the pulse at the
double quick in every good healthy body
that houses a sane mind, and good
fight. perhaps q little drawn out, is what
one reads Of in The Balance of Power by
Arthur Goodrich. The book is the story
of young Scotchman, somewhere down
east" who gets mixed up in a lively
battle for control of big industrial
plant. He, in fact, becomes the storm
center of the fight. OF course he wins,
and out Of his victory wins the heart Of
the girl he loves. The story lacks some
thing in the telling, but It holds the in
terest nevertheless, and besides holds a
good bit of wholesome philosophy admin
istered in epigrammatic doses.

These include the Booths, the Jeffersons,

treats his subject as an able critic and
a pleasing essayist. His book shows the
work of a scholar; not only in the general

Pullman Stock Imitation.

The Pullman company is about to
distribute $25,O00,000 in the form Of
a stock dividend of IS per cent. The
effect will be to raise the capitalization
of that company from $74,000,000 to
$109,000,000. It is stated in the same
connection that the increased capital
stock will, however, be maintained on
an 8 per cent basis. =. zrhrna
This is conspicuous instance, of the
evil of unlimited imitation Of stocks.
The Pullman company increases it's
stock 35 per cent above the figure on
which its earnings had accumulated a
surplus Of $25,000,000. 1t adds $685.
100000 to the capital stock and then
proceeds to pay interest at the rate of
s per cent on the original and on the
increased capitalization. This is the
second time within ten years that the
Pullman company has inflated its stock
in this way. It is common mode Of
exacting higher rates for public service
than the cost of the service will justify.
Eight percent cannot, of course, be re-
garded as high rate of interest on
capital invested in a manufacturing en-
terprise, provided the capital invested
be a reasonable amount; but when the
original capitalization is inflated I'M
necessarily and the business is made to
earn enough more by high rates for
service to pay the per cent on the
inflated capital, the public is paying
more for that service than reasonable
price.
The Pullman performance emphasizes
the necessity of arriving at the cost of
public service in order to determine the
reasonableness of the charge. MI. La
Toilette is indebted to the. Pullman
company for an instance which will
strengthen very materially his argu-
mentin favor of arriving at true val
uation Of railroads as basis for rate
regulation. We have had experience,
too, in our own state and city in the
way of imitation of capitalization which
makes it important that we know the
cost of public service. The Pullman
company has been embarrassed by it's
great surplus, fearing to declare cash
dividend on account of it's probable eff
feet upon the popular demand for a re-
duction in Pullman rates; it hasn't sue
ceeded much better in fooling the pub
lie by the enormous imitation Of per
cent stock.

ADJUSTMENTS
MISUNDERSTANDING Concert.

. The Minneapolis Symphony orchestra,
under the baton of Emil Oberhoffer,
gave the first concert Of it's season last
evening at the Auditorium, which was
practically filled with an enthusiastic au-
dience. The ranks Of the orchestra have
been notably augmented and in some
cases the new players have great talent.
Already there seems to be greater
esprit de corps this year and quicker
response to the leader. A smoother finish
characterized the playing and many Of
the crudities and inaccuracies, perhaps
even carelessness, which have marred
other performances, have quite disap-
peared. The work last evening would
compare favorably with that of many of
the larger eastern orchestras. It was a
high standard to set for the seasons
work, but there can be no doubt that
Mr.. Oberhoffer and his men will at least
maintain, if not surpass 1t. r.
Every number made great demands
upon both the orchestra and the audi
ence. Yet from the dramatic "Leonore''
overture No. g. by Beethoven, to this
plaintive and almost bizarre melodic
dances in the finale to Massenet's suite
Lies Erinnyes," the music was inter
preted with sincerity and a, fidelity that
held the interest to the very last. How
ever, a TschaikOWSky Symphony mo, B.,
to be explicitly, in a typically Russian
strain, a Massenet suite and List
symphonic poem, to say nothing of the
Beethoven overture, make too heavy a
program, and the fact that the audience
preserved its appreciative attention is
but great tribute to the excellence Of
the orchestra.
In the first number the overture to
'Leonore," the new spirit Of the or
chestra was evident in the finer grada-
tions of light and shade, in the delicacy
Of certain phrases. Mr.. Oberhoffer again
exemplified his sympathetic understand
ing of the serene and the plaintive In
music. In this number, even after a
crescendo of steadily increasing feeling
and volume, the dynamic force needed
for the climax was lacking and before
the height Of feeling was reached the
stress died away. This fault stood out
still more forcibly in the Russian sym
phony.
The themes tinged with Russian Bit
terness and sad beauty. with their en-
suing groups Of development and the
great psychologist truth, made the Tschai-
kowsky number the most taxing of the
program. The two andante movements,
and particularly the first. were played

There will be two features on the
pheum next week which have the dis
function Of being immensely popular
with press and public.
: Henry Lee, the American actor who
heads the bill, is probably the premier
lmpersonator of the world, around
which he has carried his impersona-
lions and around which his impersona-
lions have carried him. To those who
patronized the Orpheum in it's early
days, Mr.. Lees versatile and finished
quick changes in character and costume
are still remembered because of their
faithfulness to the original in every de-
tail. Mark Twain, Pope Leo Kill,
John Paul Jones, General U. S. Grant,
General Robert E. Lee and President
Roosevelt are brought before the audi
ence with a startling resemblance to
the original.
What Mr.. Lee is to the press of the
world, as an American actor, Clifton
Crawford is to the press Of America as
Englishman born and bred; The au-
Green' and many other famous and
fame making songs has the reputation
OF being among the most original Of

blanee to Joseph Chamberlain, this

producers, are sure fire.
