Arguments for Lotowners' Rights in

If, according to decision of lower

until an actual physical obstruction is
erected, he may never be compensated
at all for the damages he has sustained.
His property may be worth 80 per cent
less, as alleged in the case at bar. on
of a street vacation yesterday, and IL
he is obliged to wait until the railway
acts, he will be altogether at the mer-
CIV of that company, and he may spend
his life waiting for the tardy justice !
which, perchance, he may never receive
at all. The suggestion that possibly
the city might restore the street va
Gated is entitled to little considera-
ton. The possibility that a greater
injury may be inflicted is no answer
to a question of present injury. As
well might it be argued that owners
Of property are not entitled to dam

August Blanche's, sonorous portrayal Of

h's' ana IN many respects an admirable
presentation at the Auditorium last even
ING. The original text was given, and the
audience which numbered considerab bly,
iltots IMAM LOCO, consisted almost wholly
OF swedish people. . Naturally the play
stlrred the old fires of love, for father
iand' and the patriotic i utterances OF
hngelorekt Engelbrektson,. the savior Of
MS nation, found ready response in the
audience which was! both apprectative and
friendly ~ !. - : 80 =. - : :
The play was put on by the Swedish
Dramatic society of this city, assisted bv
arthur Donaldson in. the title part. and

gard. son Of the governor@of Dalecarlia,
ana IN love with the daughter of the hero.
Inc scenic accessories were unusually
soou LOT an amateur production; many
VI tnem having been prepared for this
occasion The costumes were rich and
appropriate, the native costumes In the
testal scenes being especially attractive.
Arthur Donaldson who took the role
OF Engelbrekt, invested TT with T. much
dignity and force. His voice is sonorous
ana su1rlc1ently powerful to be heard
even IN the wide space of the Auditorium,
ana ne was cheered to the echo He was
especially noteworthy In the >rigsdas
scene, where he secures the assent Of the
mouse to the declaration Richard Rosen-
gfen took the role Of Sven Ulffson with
great JUNCTION, making the most of the
nomely qua1ntness of speech and sturdy
love or home and country the character
is invested with. He easily shared the
hoiiors OF the evening with Mr.. Donald
son.
Among the women of the cast Emma
Nilsson took the. double role of Ingrid
the wife of the hero, and of Queen Phil.
lppa, King Ertc's consort. She played
with quiet force that was grateful and

out securing good results. EmeIie Lind

Mellnder was also good. Victor Nilsson
as King Eric made a persona BILE scion of
royalty. Carl Hagman as the villain of
the play, was effective. The other char
acters, we're capably filed.
Much interest attached to the national
dances and songs by the members of the
company and the Orpheus club. The
dances were especially good, and were
led by Herman Carlson of the Swedish
National Dancers. They were partici-
pated: in by five couples Of young people,
and elected much applause and a decided
encore Altogether Intervening was thor
oily ENJOYABLE. The multiplicity of scenes

Loaded with Routine,

. The state railroad commission has
just returned from two days trip
to northern Minnesota, visiting, three
towns. One town protested against re-
moval Of it's railway station, another
wanted better depot service, and the
third wanted .sidetrack which the
railroad company was not willing to
put in. ~ ~ Z f. 4 /
These questions were Of great i'm
portance to a few hundred people di-
rectly interested, but not to the state
at large. Three commissioners, charged
with responsibility of revising rates
and correcting extortions and abuses
of moment, drawing $4,000 year from
the state, had to leave their desks for
two days to give hearings at these local
points. Other towns are clamoring for
attention, and at every session of the
legislature more routine duties of this
kind are added. The commission is
compelled to devote at least half it's
time to such routine questions. A great
deal Of time is required in looking af
ter the grain inspection and weighing
departments, and it is harder every year
for the commission to find time for it's
most important work, that of investiga.
ton and correction of rate abuses. If
is is to be really effective agent for
such a purpose, it must be given more
time.
In New York the law. provides for an
inspector who works under authority
of the commission. He does the travel.
ing, and when complaint comes in he
makes personal visit to the ground
reporting what he finds to the commits
sion, which can act on his report in a
very short time. It is about time TO,
Minnesota to adopt such a system. We
are loading our commission with small
things, and abusing them for not, do
ing big ones. The law is setting an
impossible task for them, and the bur
den Of routine should be lifted from
their shoulders.

SULTAN OFFENSIVE AGAIN
Imperial Trade Hurts Insurance Com

London, May 1s.-The correspondent
at Constantinople Of the Standard says:
"The. Porte again has disregarded
under an imperial trade without pre-
vious reference to the embassies, of
law dealing with foreign joint stock
and insurance companies doing business
here. Many provisions Of the new law
hamper foreign enterprises. Local
guarantees by deposits invested in OF
toman funds are demanded and only
Ottoman subjects will be allowed to act
as provincial travellers, whilst numerous
opportunities are afforded for constant
official meddling. It is certain the
trade will lead to concerted protest
by all the powers. -

WHY Not an Alibi?

The Standard Oil company's explain
alton of the charges made by the Gar
field report is mainly interesting for
what it does not explain. It omits also
to take into consideration the fact that
officials of the Standard have hereto
fore given testimony regarding rates
J which does not agree with their present
claims and denials. For example, Mr..
Archbold, in 1901, wrote to the indus
trial commission giving the oil rates
from Whiting, Ind, to Birmingham,
! Ala, A cents; from Whiting to Mem
phis, IS cents; Whiting to Little Rock,
3O1b cents, whereas the Standard Oil
company was shipping then and con-
tinued to ship until the bureau Of cor
; porations recently discovered the Sc
cret rate, oil at the following prices:
Whiting to Birmingham, 1919 cents;
Whiting to Memphis, Is cents; Whiting
to Little Rock, 26 cents. Perhaps Mr..
Archbold expects to be believed on the
main question of the non-existence of
secret, discriminatory rates, but If he
does he should have taken care to lay
a foundation Of truthfulness in his for
mer statements. .o>i>
The Standards further defense is
that it cannot be a monopoly because
there are competing refneries in va
rious parts of the country. This seems
to make a virtue of it's failure to an
initiate rivalry. There are some small
refneries, but they do not exist by
the good will of the Standard.. One
significant suggestion on this point Is
In the Garfield report.
The Standard enjoyed a 6,cent rate
on its shipments from Whiting to East
st. Louis. The rate did not appear in
the published tariffs, but in the billing
orders. Mr.. Garfield says that no indie
pendent shipper interviewed by his
bureau knew Of the existence Of this
rate save one, a man who had formerly
been an employee of the Standard and
who used his knowledge to force the
railroads to make him a correspond
ingly low rate, which was also secret.
The refinery of this independent shipper
was shortly after bought out and dis
mantled. Of course, the Standard Oil
company may not have bought this
man out, but it appears as. tho they had
an interest to do it and that no other
company or person could have made
anything by buying a refinery and tear
ing it down.
Regarding the testimony Of President
futile of the Boston & Maine railroad,
that his company had always joined
with other roads in making thru rates
on oil, Except in sparsely settled dis
tricts,'' the commissioner gives a list
of 1874 stations to which the Boston &
Maine does not make thru rates. Among
these are Lowell, Lynn, Haverhill and
Lawrence, Mass; Portland, Me-, and
Portsmouth, N. H., which must, if Mr..
Tuttle's evidence is accepted, be in the
sparsely settled districts. Lowell is a
manufacturing town Of $4,000, Lynn, a
village Of $4,000, and Lawrence mod
est hamlet of $4,000 people.
It really looks as tho the Standard
Oil explanation department and its rail
road apologists are short of material
for good defense. Perhaps they would
do better to try an alibi.
