HE HAD BEEN THRU TT ALL

He is of these cheerful old boys.
If you get into hole you
Will writhe at the he employs
In his well-meant attempt to console you.
He will tell you that care killed cat,
He will smile and say q Nonsensel'' and "Poohl
I would feel bad that.
It is nothing to what we been thru
When my grief makes fairly despair
And I'm perfectly willing to pet it,
He will with his jovial air
And inform me ought to forget it.
He will tell it's to cry
Over milk that is spilled or get blue
And he always winds up with a, why,
It is nothing to what I've been thru"
His intentions, know, first rate,
But with wrath it will make people bubble
For you know that we most of us hate
To have others make light Of trouble.
When your woes you attempt to rehearse
He will say, We'll, don't make an ado,
For you know that it might have been worse.
It is nothing to what I've been thru

Trihing with Niagara.

0NE Of the niagara Falls power promoters has
~ explained to congressional committee how
it will be possible to eat cake and have it, too
He has scheme whereby the falls can be robbed
of another vast share Of their volume, and still be
preserved a beautiful spectacle. }Sz
The scheme is SO simple it is wonder one
has thought oft before. The Canadian fall is get
ting about threefourths Of the water, while under
the treaty the American fall is entitled to half.
This benefaetor of humanity would merely dig the
channel on the American side deeper and divert
part Of the water from the Canadian fall, to make
up for the water they propose to turn underground
for their industrial schemes. It is SIMPLE indeed,
and could be carried indefinitely. Whenever
another American company wanted water it could
cut the channel deeper. If the American interests
got too greedy the Canadians could do little dig
gng their side and restore the equilibrium, till
the water left to go over the falls would all dis
appear like the cheese which the monkey divided.
T.. No consideration for the welfare Of Amer
lea greatest spectacle will tolerate such propo-
sitions. Niagara should not be robbed Of another
drop of water, either on the Canadian the Amer
lean side The channel above should not be dis
turbed for the rapids are part Of Niagara s
grandeur. 4
It is time to call a halt on the whole disgrace
full proceeding. The spirit Of Niagara, grand and
terrible, broods its wrongs. Some day, if the
havoc goes on, it will rebuke the presumption of
the money-mad mortals who profane it's beauties
and trife with it's terrors. ..:-. 49,

What Minneapolis Should Do.

NTATERIAL prosperity is not all advantage y! to
= = = family or people. It often divides them on
the lines Of those who appear to have more than
they need and those who have less than they think
they could
America has been recently passing thru this
phase of commerciasm. The country has been
threatened with family quarrel between the HAYES
and the have nots. At the apex of the debate the
muck raker appeared as the self-appointed guardian
of purity and by his radical methods succeeded
merely in accentuating the situation. Epithets be-
gan to take the place Of arguments and denuncation
of reason ~t. -- ...
In the midst of the examinations great nation
al calamity befell, and instantly the voice OF de-
traction was hushed and the raucous voice Of the
hater was stlled. The heart Of the whole people
leaped up in sympathy with San Francisco. The
incident was one Of the compensatons Of the awful
horror of the earthquake. It showed that the finer
feelings Of sympathy, of love and of charity under
lie all Of our chickering's.
It is noticeable that nobody has suggested that
our milhonaires ought to rescue San Francisco.
Should any Of them propose to take upon himself
the work, his offer would be Indignantly spurned.
This is work which belongs to the whole people and
in which each must have his share. God has blessed
this land with abundant resources. It would be no
great burden upon the nation to raise $50,000,000
for the relief Of the victims Of the California dis
aster and it ought to be done. It can be done by
each community doing it's share and each community
can do it's share by every individual in the
ity taking his part. Whether it be great or small
remains his to decide. The important thing is that
he shall be represented. l-@~-%- -
Minneapolis has made splendid start. The
business have forward WELL The plan to
put the opportunity to give before each school child
commends itself. But yet there remain thousands
whose contributions must necessarily be small and
who cannot be directly reached. These citizens
should take it upon themselves to that they
represented in the giving.
Another thing: "He gives twice who gives
quickly.' The three things expected Of Minneapo-
lis that the response shall be prompt, be gen.
erous and be general. Th Journal has no
question but what the people of Minneapolis will
meet all of these self-mposed conditions

Consistency and the Monroe Doctrine.


THE London Morning Post, reviewing article
- in the Edinburgh Review on the Monroe doc
trine, takes position which have anticipated
likely to be taken by Europeans. It is, briefly
stated, that if the Monroe doctrine is to be strictly
observed in America, the participation Of United
States in European affairs is likely to lead to fric
ton. /~E 49,
United States is very thoroly committed to the
Monroe doctrine. It will brook the domination Of
European power in the affairs or the territory
Of any American state where such dominance does
not already exist, as for instance, in the case of
Canada which in political sense, is dominated by
Great Britain.
The writer in the London Post discusses the
Monroe doctrine and while not conceding it's pro-
priety recognizes it as existing principle and
that the United States would by force, if
necessary resist the attempt Of any European power
to establish itself on American territory. But while
this is granting this to be legitimate exercise Of
the influence of the United States on this con-
tinent, it's maintenance is declared to be in
consistent with the participation of the United
States in such affairs the Algeciras con-
ference And how can that contention be
combatted? We may make our protest with
propriety against prosecutions in Turkey Russia
or the Congo state, member Of the family Of
nations regardless Of where the occasion for the
protest exists. The Algecras conference is a COM
mereial and political affair concerning in which we
would seem to have more right to participate
than European power would have a ight to inter-
fere in conference between American nations
touching the administration of their affairs and the
control Of their territory Our case with respect to
the Monroe doctrine is certainly weakened, if not
endangered by the violation Of this rule of con-
sstency, and it is significant when attention is
called to the matter in the form of even a mild pro-
test by London paper.

What Is a Gentleman?

HE New York Sun has recently been conducting
most interesting discussion Of the meaning
OF the term gentleman. The dictionary definitions
OF the word are not necessarily the governing ones
because gentleman does not mean the same thing
IN every English-speaking country. In Great
Britain it had and still has too great technical
significance. 1t means man above the social sta
ton OF peasant and below that of noble 1t fol-
lows that IN England moral qualities have less to
do with the definition while in America, country
without caste, they have to do with it, In this
country the word has been quite generally defined
along the lines Of culture; in Europe along the lines
of blood and birth. Culture while slow growth
IN the nation may be developed in the individual
in a single generation. Many Of our most easily
recognized types Of gentlemen have pride Of
BIRTH no advantage Of descent. Therefore the def
milton in this country deals most largely with the
individual as we find him. ~ r.
President Hadley Of Yale college has proposed
definition which is generally considered very COM
plete He says gentleman is one who accepts self
imposed obligations But even this definition leaves
much to be desired It would apply to anarchist.
He is person who accepts sef-imposed obligations,
but who refuses those imposed upon him by the ma
jority. The gambler accepts the self-imposed obi
cation to pay his card debts because there is no
law to compel fulflment. Under the Hadley def
milton he might still be gentleman tho not recog
nized member of society. It would be true to
say that gentleman is one who accepts in full the
obligation to develop his own life along lines which
will result in the highest good to his fellowmen.
This would exclude the anarchist the gambler, the
immoral man Of perfect manners we'll as the
good citizen who purposey fouts the graces of life
