ADJUSTMENTS
Auditorium-GuIIb and Chevall

Audtorium-GuIIbert and Chevaler.
A combination of rare piquancy Is that
Of a French cfanson singer and an in
terpreter of English character songs. 1t
is like going out Of a. rose-hedged gar
den, fragrant with old world flower beds
and borders, into the bright light Of
London street with its motley string Of
passersby. Nine. Yvette Guilbert Is
herself veritable nosegay Of poesy and
song and Albert Chevalier-it would take
far less space to say what Mr.. Chevalier
is not than what he is. Theirs is a rare
art that of musical impersonation, for it
is not for great vocal power that either
Nine. Guilbert or Mr.. Chevalier is famous.
1t is rather for the atmosphere which
each exhales to a musical accompani-
ment musical elocution you may term
it if you WILL and yet that leaves half
the story untold. It was rather amusing
last evening to note that the audience
seemed to like the Frenchwoman best in
English songs and the Englishnan in his
French number.
Nine. Guilbert is as full Of charm as a
rose. Her voice Is sweet, true and clear
and her chansons were delightfully."- SIM
pie as chansons are. She told the. story
Of her songs not only with her voice, but
with the arch glance, the mobile face,
a toss of her head, the curves of her
1.-the body and her arms and hands. SO
full of grace. Coquetry, allurement, mis-
chief, defiance, fear and 1lumor, always
humor, were there to interpret to Amer
lean eyes what the French words might
fail to make clear to American ears. Her
English numbers were given with a
dainty accent that was irresistible.
Mr.. Chevalier's collection of quaint
English characters was a joy, and altho
the audience did seem to show greater
enthusiasm over his burlesque French
man, it found real pleasure in each i'm
personation BY request he sang the
song that made him famous, 1.-THE Future
Mrs. 'Awkins,'' and that pathetic bit,
"My Old Dutch.'' Then he was in turn
the old bachelor with his heart buried in
Ia little country grave; the obsequious
curate at his bazaar; the old gaffer, who
believed only what he saw; the broken
down tragedian living in the memory of
his former triumphs, as well as the merry
coster lad. Mr.. Chevalier's costumes and
makeup were realistically complete and
held the Illusion that his art created. .

MIR. Walker on the Charter.

he Journa s.. estimate of Mr..
Walker s position on the charter mat
ter seems to be borne out by his Sec
ond communication in which he con-
I cludes that the present charter has fur
nished us ga good city government,
/: If not the best, under which we have
prospered and lived in a fairly satis-
factory Manner
This is an optimistic assumption on
: the part of Mr.. Walker when he must
know that the city Of Minneapolis a
4 few years ago lost about half million
dollars partly because the charter did
!. not provide any way that depositaries
4 Of public funds could be- named. If
Mr.. Walker, whose fortune is large and
whose interests are extensive, had run
& his business under the Minneapolis city
charter he would probably be ''broke''
today.
Mr.. Walker declares that the present
charter is all right, but, nevertheless,
he joined charter commission some
& years ago and proposed plan for a
u council Of about seventy-fve members.
# the city charter is all right now it
4 was all right then, and Mr.. Walker
should not have proposed this excessive
and grievous number of aldermen.
But the charter was not all right then
nor, is it all right now. It is patchwork,
as everybody knows. A patchwork it
r must remain unless we adopt home rule,
for there is no other legal way to
h change 1t.
Under the present charter the city
council can and frequently. has vacated
streets without giving notice to the
/. abutting property owners. But it would
4 presumably be socialistic to give them
such notice. The present charter is
Il good enough. j.,
Under the present charter the mayor
/ can and always does overturn The board
of charities and corrections when he
& comes into Office and fill the executive
places with his own friends. ! Possibly
this has been fairly satisfactory" ex
cept when we got an Ames for mayor
and then we had scandals, stealing, in.
dictments and flights from the city.
There is one institution which makes
"a good living by collecting rebates fol
citizens because the city collects an ar
bitrary assessment before it does it,
work. The new charter abolishes re
bates by abolishing arbitrary advance
b assessments. But no doubt this is ais,
Il revolutionary and not to be counter
anced.

Cole Deserves Republican Votes.

OO1C DCSCIVCS ~4eVHuOAAS1A Sob1S'
Albert L. Cole and his associates on
the republican state ticket are entitled
to the support of every Minnesota re-
publican at the polls next Tuesday. The
fight is centered on the governorship,
which the democrats hope to win by
the personal popularity of the present
governor. It is on the governorship,
therefore, that republican votes are
needed.
No reasonable excuse has been offered
for republicans to refuse their support
to Mr.. Cole. He is a man in every way
worthy of confidence and Endorsement.
His public record is found in the pro-
ceedings of two Legislative sessions
where important legislation on many
subjects was voted up or down. Mr..
Cole IS record in those sessions was good,
and so good that the closest search by
his opponents has failed to uncover any
thing that calls for legitimate criti-
cism.
Mr. Cole was: a good legislator, not
in passive, easy-going way, but he
was an aggressive factor in support Of
measures that the people wanted. When
an issue was presented that showed the
interests of the common people on one
side, he was always to be found on
that side. He "stood without hitch
ing.' He displayed clear head and
the quality of foresi ght, and did not
need to be told whel1 the interests Of
the people lay. The best men in the
legislature who promoted good meas
ures did not have to watch Mr.. Cole.
He was always to. be depended on.
Mr.. Cole also showed in the legisla-
ture that he possessed the quality of
initiative. He is natural leader, and
his bent is constructive, not destruc
tive. His name is attached to some of
the most important legislation of the
past session, such as the drainage sur
vey, the new state land law, the immi-
grafton bureau and the highway COM
mission law. He also voted for progress
sive railroad legislation, and his rec
ord in that respect proves the sincerity
of his present declarations. He was
named by clean methods, and is free
from the domination Of any special in
terest. If elected governor, the inter
ests of the people will be safe in his
hands, and not only that, but he will
be an aggressive personality in the cap
itol, an influence for progress.
The republican party has presented a
candidate for governor who deserves
the solid partv support. If such man
cannot command the votes of the repub-
icans, what indueement is there in the
future for the party to put such man
forward?
If you are republican and believe
in the principles Of republicanism,
there is no good reason why you should
not give your ballot to A. L. Cole.

More Crop Guessers.
the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor Of The Journal. :
i am. not4in the wheat business and do
not own bushel or an option There
is one feature Of the situation that I have
not read anything about altho it may
have appeared in print
1t will be sufficient to take two aver
age counties of South Dakota, viz: Brook
fngs and Codington. I have travelled a
good many thousand miles and have
spent much time in talking with farmers,
elevator men and threshers.
In the first place the proportion OF
:duruur wheat has been greatly under
estimated. My guess is that in South Da-
kota 1t will go at least 40 per cent Of
the -entireac crop. T estimate that 20 per
cent of the remainder is unfit for milling
purposes, or for contract wheat, owing
to the excessive rains and other causes.
We may take out, say. 10 per cent more
for bread and seed.
L come now to the point that I think
has been overlooked by good many.
Waterfowl has a modern -four mill Of
capacity Of about ESQ barrels per 5sday
with ample elevator storage and financial
backing sufficient to handle all the mill
ing wheat that comes into that market.
One elevator manager told me that he
had not bought bushel of anything
hut durum wheat this season. Asked the
reason he, said that the mill was paying
more for all the good milling wheat to
grind than he could afford to pay for It
for shipment. The same conditions pre-
vail at Bookings. Marshall, New Ulm
and Sleepy Eye. In fact, there are good
mills in all the better towns along the
line and. conditions are Identical. III

The Case for Mayor Jones.

Without any question the prevail
ing sentiment of this community is run
ming strongly toward Mayor Jones and
his reelection is presaged by the con-
dition of the public mind. The most
direct attacks upon his administration
have been beaten back and the oppo-
sition has ben driven from cover to
cover.
The campaign began with the accept
ance of Jones' platform by the demo-
cratic candidate, who, having taken
his text from the Jones handbook, be-
gan Immediately to depart from it, and
he is now as far from Jones as he
would have been had he made the issue
of Sunday closing directly and frankly
at the start.
That Mr.. Haynes did not do this
was wise politics. 1t gave him a
breathing spell during which to conjure
up another issue on which to oppose
the mayor. After much threshing about
he thought he had found it in the Gear
nival of crime' idea, which he ex-
plotted for several days with good eff
feet. But when that wore out it's wei
come, as it soon did when the carnival
failed to put in an appearance, the
mayors friends put on their armor
once more and have been giving him a
heartier support than ever before.
@ The actual task before the friends
of good government today is to get
out the vote in the residence wards.
The downtown vote is not all going to
Haynes. 1t will be split up so that
when the residence districts have done
their duty the fight will be over.
This should be borne in mind, that
the interests which have a monetary
stake in the defeat of the administra-
ton will be at the polls all day Tues
day. Neither harsh weather nor the
prospect Of hard work will keep them
away. The practical thing to do is to
meet them there. The good citizen who
has been talking all summer for Jones
can clinch his work by taking counsel
with his neighbors in the last days of
the campaign. There is no reason why
he should have less influence on cleo.
tion day than the paid strikers Of the
.breweries. It is his own fault if he
does.
(. The plausible statement that Mr..
Haynes will enforce the laws will be
used on Tuesday-in spots. In this
connection it should be borne in mind
F THAT no brewery or saloon has
changed it's attitude of hostility to
Jones because Haynes has declared he
will enforce the laws;

Jones before is for him now;
S4 S-That Mr.. Haynes declaration of
intention to enforce the laws is only
partial at best. It does not cover

citizen meet the plausible argument for
Haynes at the polls.

CORPORAL Punishment in Schools.

The difficulties of corporal punish
ment in the PUBLIC schools are illustrat-
ed by the St. Paul case, where a prin-
cipal has been dismissed for whipping
boy with carpet beaten. The cru
city and vengefulness Of the punish
ment appear to be clearly established,
and the discharge Of the teacher
is fully justified. = :.-s:vsa
The boy who got the whipping proba-
bly, was bad boy. In fact he was one
Of those boys for whom whipping is a
means of grace. But the principal did
not go about it right. He had the right
under the rules to punish the boy with
the mothers consent and in her pres
ence, but he undertook the JOB elan
destinely and thereby made the. boy a
a martyr and himself an ogre.
The use Of corporal punishment in
the public schools has fallen largely
into disuse just thru such incidents as
this, and thereby the rising generation
is losing a useful discipline. If a boy
is to be whipped it should be made a
solemn rite. Beatings in out-of the
way places and secretly are not to be
tolerated, and yet there are times when
the rod would be the making OF the
