Wednesday Evening,
The March of tho Heroes.

weighed with years, they march with
stiifened joints and halting steps. But
the fire of patriotism is in their hearts
and the love of country shines from
their eyes.
The people Of America are selfish In
demanding this march OF the veterans.
More reluctantly every year the old
soldiers yield to the demand. Many
suggestions have been made of its abo-
lition and the sentiment grows with
every encampment that it must come
to an end. Tho parade today win
probably go down in history as the last
of the big marches of the Grand Army.
II was appreciated by our citizens and
by our visitors from every part OF the
country. No such enthusiasm along
the line of march has been known in
the history of this city. not even when
popular presidents have visited us and
reviewed great bodies of troops.
1t L. fitting that the top peak of
patriotic sentiment. should be sealed in
honor of the Grand Army. Presidents
may be be renewed, armies can be re-
cruited, societies can replace depart,
ing members. But the armies OF the
ZOOS cannot be renewed. Standing in
their presence today we are conscious
that we were looking upon the rem
nant of mighty and conquering host
whose patriotism never can be sur
passed, as it had never before beer
equaled in the history of. the world.

What is 1t which attracts hundreds OF
thousands Of people to tho g. A. re
encampment wherever 1t is heldi 1t
is not the sessions of the encamp-
ment. That delegate body holds few
meetings behind closed doors, hears some
reports, elects new commander and
'adiourns. The public, knows nothing
about 1t except what 1t reads in the
newspapers. What is the central fea-
tnre Of the encampmenti 1t Is the
parade of the veterans. Nothing else
in tho week approaches this In senti-
mental glamor. No other parade which
could be devised in this country could
be made to appeal to so many people
as this. Other societies may have their
fine braid and brilliant colors. their
plumed commanders mounted on
prancing steeds. They may go thru
evolutions and show us "stunts"
along the line of march, but their
pageant is to the G. A. R. parade as a
gaudy child's picture book to the Vol
ume of Life.
The Grand Army parade is reminis-
cent of toilsome marches in the actual
! theater of war, of that grand review
at Washington when brigade after bri-
gade marched by in triumph to be dis
missed to their homes. The men who
marched today are the same men who

Those Allotment Mortgages.

No newspaper could ask for bet
ter confirmation Of the accuracy Of the
work done by its own correspondent
than is furnished in the statements Of
Mr. Leupp, commissioner Of the Indian
bureau, with regard to the mortgaging
of their lands by the halfbreeds at
White Earth. Mr.. Leupp has recently
visited the reservation in person and as
the result of his activity some Of the
men who loaned money to the Indians
and took mortgages have returned
the mortgages and in other cases
the matter has been placed in
the hands Of the United States
district attorney with instructions
to make an examination to see If
those who procured the execution of
thess mortgages may not be success
fully prosecuted.
Mr.. Michelet, the. agent at White
Earth, has stated that those who were
victimized were largely Of the worst
class of -Indians-lazy spendthrifts who
would probably make no good use of
their allotments under any circum-
stances-and this is confirmed by the
commissioner. That, however, does not
in the least satisfy the government or
relieve the holders of the mortgages
from liability for prosecution. In cases
where some of the better class of In
dams were induced to mortgage their
lands by representations that the trans
action was merely a friendly affair and
did not bind the Indians in any respect,
the government will undertake to show
the holders of the mortgages that they
made bad investment. -
There is another chance, too, for the
visitation of little retributive justice
upon the spectators In mortgages and
that is in the difficulty they are likely
to have in establishing the fact that
the makers of their mortgages are real
ly halfbreeds and not fullbloods and
therefore authorized by law to SO dis
pose Of their property. The government
will insist that it shall be absolutely
established in each case that the maker
of the mortgage is a mixed blood and
when it becomes to the interest of the
Indian to establish the contrary the
holder of the mortgage may have some
difficulty about getting possession OF
the land involved.

One Thlns More.

10 the Editcrs Of T1e JournaL
Along most every line great efforts are
being made 10 make clean and attractive
the city of Minneapolis for fitting recep-
tion for the G. a. r. next week.
Along one line there is no evidence
whatever of a proper appreciation of the
necessity for an attractive city at this
time Certain efforts have been made to
free the city from excessive smoke espe-
cially In the downtown district. AT one
time yesterday the atmosphere on Nicol-
LET avenue Was 80 dense that 1t was diff
facnlt to distinguish objects clearly a
block away, and this morning the condi-
lions were not improved. Smoke at this
time came largely from large buildings
who have tenants who carry the finest
ana most destructibie goods, and from the
most selfish standpoint the managers of
these buildings should see that at least
their tenants have proper protection.
Other cities are doing much in the way
of enforcing the smoke nuisance laws.
There Is no reason why ours should not
do the same. A little thonghtfulness and
patriotism on the part of the managers
and owners of our buildings would do
wonders in increasing the attractiveness
Of onr city, and we hope that they viii
at least show the consideration which il
necessary to make it attractive during
G. A. r.. week. n p. r.

The Real Fight In New York.

: The republican party In New York Is
approaching the coming state campaign
In n condition Of surging chaos. No
body seems to know what is TO be done.
The Plato combination has come
out squarely against the denomination
Of Governor Higgins and the other side,
the so-called presidents faction. has
rot indicated its choice Of q eandi-
date. The president, it was reported
recently, would back the governor for
denomination, but more recently it has
been talked that both sides considered
Higgins weak and that he would be
dropped. The curious thing about re-
publican politics in the empire state
is that SO far as an outsider can dis
cover there are no principles involved.
1t is a contest purely between individ-
uals, Oden seeking to down Hendricks
and Hendricks hitting out wildly at
somebody else. It is q reminder of
those highly intellectual entertainments
in which FIVE or six boys are pitsed
against one another In battle royal.
The survivor wins.
But beneath the surface there is
evidence of a well-directed if shapelesz
battle in New York republicanism. Ii
is struggle of the people against all
their bosses. 1t is an effort to un
| saddle Platt, Odeu and the rest Of the
creatures of corporations who have nd

The Durun Crop.

The first dehnlte estimate OF 1the
durum or macaroni wheat crop of the
northwest for this year may be found
in The Journal today. There has
been much comment on the increased
acreage ever since seeding time. Few
estimates have appeared and for the
most part they did not claim RELIABLE
ity, being really opinions rather than
results from Investigation. Duluth
grain firms, we'll Informed with refer
ence to durum because Of the large
export business carried on there, were
slow to fix upon total yield, tho
35,ooo,oo0 bushels has been the gen.
orally accepted figure. It Is a ire
mendous task to pick out the macaron1
fields from the spring wheat proper
over an area as large as Minnesota
and the Dakotas, and even Jones, the
best-known estimator Of the country,
whose report recently appeared, did not
attempt to differentiate, but Jumped
all wheat together.
Today a Minneapolis grain firm OF
reliability in such matters, and with
Increased facilities this year for OBJ
tanning information, makes the definite
statement that the durum wheat crop
will total 45,oo0,o0o bushels.
The increased production Of durum
since it's introduction into the north
west a few years ago, is marvel.
Last year there was crop OF 1S,Ooo,'
600 to 100000 bushels, then cons1d-
cred heavy, but more than doubled this
year.
It was the idea Of the agricultural
department to Introduce this variety
of wheat upon the dry lands of the
west where in years Of insufficient
moisture ordinary spring wheat will
not pull thru.
Farmers generally took 1t up. Last
wear there was the same early solicit
tude as to what would be done with
the big production, but 1t moved OH
for export at prices highly remuner
ative. Farmers who raised spring wheat
saw their neighbors who raised maca
roni selling it only a little under spring
wheat prices, after realizing more
bushels to the acre. Naturally there
was tendency, this year to 90 IN fol
-, it more generally. Moreover, the north
west has had abundant moisture TO
six seasons. Not since 1900 has there
been anything approaching drouth. Th'
farmers calculated that dry yea
was about due, and this helped spread
the durun. -
Theoretically it would seem that
still larger acreage is due for mex
year, for having again escaped droutl
the farmers will probably figure upo1
dry weather as only the more HkeE
to come next season.
1t is too early yet to tell much abou
the disposition Of the crop, but II tn
FOREIGNERS take q fair share Of 1t tn
pressure upon the market will not b
40 great, for it is a fact that our &c
nestle flour mills, smaller countr.
mills especially, are grinding more
1t every year, and Notwithstanding tn
general trade impression that the fou
made from it must be hard to ,dlspos
of, they are finding market for II
our Atlantic seaboard cities taking
in considerable quantities.
