NO MORE A GRAVE INSULT.

The Term "Linr" Once Meant n Piss
toll Bullet or SwOrd-Thrust.
There are in our language many
words which have lost much Of their
original force. Our word ''soon," as
Greenough and Kittredge point out, is
the Anglo Saxon word for immediate
w."
Respectable. once term of honor,
has become apologetic and worthy"
which formerly meant honorable" has
taken on a condescending shade.
mice" originally meant foolish"
Only within few centuries has the
word naughty" lost its original mean
lngs Of destitute and "good-for-noth-
ing"
We Of to-day appear to be witnessing
the decadence Of the word ".iar." The
once deadly term Is. according to the
Baltimore Sun, becoming commonplace
and incapable Of arousing resentment.
One Of the strongest and most ex-
pressive words in the English language
has been weakened and cncapened by
modern usage. Does it indicate deca-
dence on the part Of our race that men
apply the epithet Unfortunately and
lightly and accept 1t with a complacen-
cy which would have amazed their fore
fathers?
IL this Is not decadencc, may 1t not
be exactly the contrary? May 1t not
prove that the civilization of the twen-
tleth century philosophicsliy takes no
account Of such trifies as reflections
upon a mans veracity?
That which our forefathers account
ed a virtue, tO-wit, speedy and condign
punishment Of the person who grossly
insulted another, may be regarded In
this wise and cynical generation as an
explosion Of childish anger, inability
to control ones temper inexcusable
weakness.
II that is the philosophy Of our mod
ern composure under a fine of insult
ing epithets, the photographers should
take note Of it when they revise the
dictionaries. They should say that the
word liar. which formerly bad def
mite meaning and represented condi-
ton. not a theory, is now widely used
in political controversy and no longer
carries sufficient opprobrium with it to
hurt anybody's feelings.
1t is very handy epithet-this lit
tie word liar.
The philosophy Of you are another"
has taken firm hold upon our civiliza-
ton. Let the photographers do their
duty-the word liar has been white
washed and is now a rather agreeable
term. This Is what civilization has
done for once pugnac'ous and hot
tempered race.

One great sacrifice Is demanded by
the American people of the man whom
they honor with election to the presi.
dency. That is, the absolute surrender
of any notion he may have that he is
entitled to any privacy in his life. The
servant of the people, he must keep
constantly in sight Of the people, and
must endure any disagreeable features
of the official relationship. One of
Washington's first queries, as he sought
assistance from his cabinet in shaping
the forms and ceremonies of the new
republic, was: What would be said
If the President were sometimes to be
seen at quiet tea parties!" There was
great gulf fixed between the state
coach bedecked with Cupids support
ing festoons, with Its outriders and foot
men In livery, and the seclusion and
privacy of which the first President
was SO fond. He felt the need of ca
tering to the public interest in the
ruler Of people, but his heart often
turned with longing to the old friends
whose quiet cOmpanionship he craved.
Long afterwards, when jefferson and
Jackson had had their leveling intiu-
ence, criticism was directed to Presi.
dent Pierce, because he used to step
out Of his official surroundings now and
then to call as a plain citizen upon old
friends Of his New Hampshire home.
II President Lincoln, opening closet
door, found an Office seeker hidden
within, 1t was to be taken as a matter
of course, and many woman, forced
for the time to share the White House
with her husband during his term Of
first lady of the land when cut off
from that homelike seclusiOn which
every man and woman wants at times.
1t Is probable that the curious inter-
est of the ruled in their rulers will not
cease while our government lasts. But
it must be trying. if not absolutely dis
gustng, to man of President Roose-
velt's good sense and democratic spirit
to find press dispatch informing the
citizens of every State that during a
sudden shower he and his wife had
their clothes drenched, even though the
added information was missing that
the Presidents garments were at once
sent to the tailors to be pressed. The
President has right to be put out by
a tale Of his habits Of eating. partlcu-
larly If almost every single paragraph
Of an alleged accurate account Is found
to be false. A certain amount of popu-
lar interest must always attend the
President, but 1t Is difficult to believe
that there are many American citizens
who care straw whether there are
ten courses or two in the daily dinner
In the White House.

OUT TO CAPTURE
COUNCIL PLUMS

Long before the personnel of the new
city council was determined by the late
election. certain persons were laying
plans for capturing some of the plums
on the council's patronage tree. These
people were not confined to the present
office holders, who naturally are pulling
all the strings within reach in order to
retain their places.
Several of the aldermen believe thai
the entire staff will be retained, but
admit that some may have rivals in the
field. The most opposition from outside
sources has developed against City As

ST. PAUL HEARS ITALIANS
LEONCAVALLO AND HIS ORCHES-
IRA AND SINGERS DELIGHT
MUSIC LOVERS OF SISTER CITY.

st. Paul witnessed last night one Of
the greatest concerts in its history.
The house was packed and the enthu-
slasm which prevailed must have been
delight to the great italian composer
and conductor. Leoncavallo, with his
La Scala orchestra and seven soloists,
was in fine spirit and the music was
played with the dash, the high artistic
manner and with that emotion and
temperament for which that musical
body OF Italians stands unrivaled..
Leoncavallo is, a great genius, and
his conducting IS without mannerism or
show. In the history of music he is
known all over the world. The singers
We're Mines. Calvi, Ferrabinni and Riz-
zlni, Signors Belatti, Perya, Barbaini
and De Ferran. All have fine voices
and sang with true italian fervor.
Their exits showed the artistic finish
not only in singing, but also in stage
department.
The orchestra was a large one and
fully suited to the Italian modern or
chestration of the great composer IS
compositions. It was highly artistic
and full of emotional spirit.
Leoncavallo g =. march, dedicated TO
President Roosevelt, is full of American
airs and presented "Yankee Doodle''
and "Dixie' in novel and ingenious
way. It caught the fancy of the audi
ence and the applause and cheers were
deafening.

will be at the Auditorium this evening.

Literally covered with maroon and

this afternoon, 1000 hackers Of the

night for Chicago. Humming the re

the gopher rooters, men and women
piled onto the regular and special trains

the platforms and offered advice as to
methods Of out-cheering the Chicago
undergraduates, the main body of the
Minnesota phalanx started on the Chi.

At the Great Western station ssLone
John,' Sinclair, rooter king, with a
crowd of 200 undergraduates, took pos.
session Of five sleepers and proceeded
to frame things up for the arrival in
Chicago. Enthusiasm ran so high that
the rooter king, fearing for the condi.
ton OF the roofing brigade On the
morrow, was forced to put check on
the vocal efforts Of his constituents
The special Great Western left at 7:1j
last night and was due to arrive in

rooters planned to 20 Immediately to
the Chicago Beach hotel and pay their
respects to the team before "doing''
Chicago.
Two special sections were run on the
Milwaukee road last night. following
the departure of No. 4, the regular
Chicago train. A special train of ten
coaches was also run by the Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis road and all the regular
Chicago trains leaving the city were
crowded.
Betting Is Lively.
With the exodus of the rooters the
betting odds on the result of the game
became more nearly even. Yesterday
10 to 6 on Chicago was freely offered
with few takers, for the rooters wished
to put their money up in Chicago, and
there was general feeling that odds
of to would be offered by the ma
rooms. Today in Minneapolis Mime
sofa money began to pour in at the
cigar stores, and at noon 5 to was
nesota men covering everything in sight
but. refusing to offer even money.
Freak bets were popular. Odds of
to 3 that Minnesota would score a
touchdown found no takers, and a bet
of to S that Chicago does not cross
the gopher line was untouched at noon,
proof that Minneapolis hackers of Chi,
cago were relying on Eckersall's leg
to win for the maroons.
Altogether general spirit Of conf
dence in the Minnesota team seemed to
prevail and it was universally pre-.
dicted that could the Minnesota giants
hold the maroons to no score or one
score in the first half, DR.. Williams
proteges would wear the maroons out
in the latter part of the game and win.
The great interest shown in the game
was evident when crowds began to
gather in front Of the Journal bulletin
board at 1:30, waiting for the first re-
turns from the contest.
