WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Hlah Standards In the Thirteenth.

To the Editor of The Journal.
The kind of an alderman we are look-
ing for in the thirteenth ward must be
about like this: He must, live east OF
Nicollet. He must do his best for this
mart of the ward; one that is deeply IN
terested in the main sewer from the lakes
tn the river on Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seV-
enth and Thirty eighth streets; one thal
will do his best to push this sewer ques-
ton right thru, so we will have our sewer
in three years; one that will stand ov
the present mayor and help to elect him
IL he will run again; one that Will heip III

sunday: one that will do all he can TO see
that the theaters are also closed up on

lowered instead of elevated in South Min
neapolis: one that will support and push
an ordinance giving US Interchangeable
teIenhone messages (without extra
charge) if an ordinance will give 1t to us
If not one who will use his influence TO
get the very same thing thru the state
legislature this coming winter. Above ALL
he must be an honest. upright man.

Can we find him? I believe we can, and
that he will be elected and will be apie

Frances Dilemma.

1t would be piteous, says M. Jaures,
the socialist leader, were two great ma
lions to fall upon one another over tho
miserable question Of Morocco. The
Algeciras conference has been unable
to lind solution Of the problem. Ger
many will not withdraw her demands
and France feels that she has been
crowded into corner from which she
cannot emerge without a fight.
The Morocco question is one which
involves not only commercial advan-
tages for Germany, but involves ma
tlonal honor for France. She has a ter
rltory next door to Morocco. She feels
a. responsibility for her neighbor and
she has formulated certain rules for
| his conduct Up to last summer France
| believed she would be allowed to put
her rules in force, with the consent of
the European powers. She had the as
sent Of England, Spain and Italy. She
lacked that Of Germany, and when
Germany began to show her teeth on
the subject, M. Delcasse went so fa1
as to sound Great Britain whether she
| would support France in an appeal tc
arms. The response was SO far favor
able that he practically had delivered
an ultimatum to Germany, when the
premier discovered that his foreign sec
rotary was committing him to wal
with the dreaded Germans. The only
way out Of the situation was to imme
diately sack Delcasse and begin owe,

that the use of his name sis solely for
the purpose Of creating strife between
the friends of Mr.. Lord and Mr.. Diment,
all Mr.. Tawneys friends, and thus prac-
tically take the district out of the race

Their that the first district stands a good
chance to land the governorship if the
two candidates get together before the
state convention. "a friendly contest
between good men over the honor OF be-
Ing named the district candidate will do
no great harm if kept within prudent linn
Its, but all difference Of opinion should
cease before going into the state con-

Excellent advice, but rather hard to

strength outside the first district, and
a first district caucus might not be con-
elusive as to the chances of either man.

The Mississippi and the Canal.

New Orleans in proposing a conven-
tion of cities. for the development OF
Mississippi valley trade by way of the
Panama canal is not joking. The canal
is coming and the cities Of the Missls-
sippi valley are going to be the special
benefciaries of it and New Orleans pro-
poses that they come together to con-
suit upon the best means to increase
their trade by way Of the canal.
Many conventions have been held
whose motive was the improvement OF
the Mississippi river and yet with all
their wealth and influence those cities
have never yet induced congress tc
adopt a comprehensive scheme for the
Improvement of the greatest canal the
world contains. The wealth Of the
Mississippi valley has always been car
ried lateraNy, while the finest water
course in the world running the full
length with lateral connections reach
ing it's full width has been compare
lively neglected. The New Orleans con
vention might well take up the subjec
of making the Mississippi worthy con
Meeting link between the gulf and tn

THE CENTURY, coMPANY's SPRING
ANNOUNCEMENTS books Of fic-
ton are the contribution Of the Century
company to the spring output Of books.
At the. head Of the list should be placed
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell's "A Diplomatic
Adventure" DR.. Mitchell himself says
| of the book:
| In the perplexing tangle Of the diplomacy Of
| the darker days of our civil war, many strange
! stories must have passed unrecorded, but surely
| none of those remembered and written were more
| singular than the occurrences which disturbed
| the quiet of my uneventful life in the autumn

! This gives some notion Of the char
acter Of the story, to which may be added
the statement that it deals with a pretty
woman who seeks the protection of a
strange gentleman's cab, three French
men of the kind made famous by Dumas,
two clever young Americans diplomatic
mysteries, the possibility of several duels
and much else that makes a stirring
story.

JoURNEYINGs AMONG THE MAGA-
ZlNES-JOURNEY NO. 5.-New York,
Feb. 26.-One Of the places the literary
pilgrim in New York cannot afford to
miss is the office of the Century Maaa-
Zine, facing Union square. While the
Century has not always been in it's pres
ent quarters, it has been there long
enough; to accumulate decided literary
atmosphere and much else sure to inter-
est anyone who Is after literary history.
The place Of chief interest in the Cen
tury office Is the sanctum of Richard
Watson Glider, the editor in chief The
room occupied by Mr.. Glider was origin
ally fitted out for his predecessor in the
edttorshfp, J. e.. Holland. DR.. Holland
died too soon, however, to make use of
the office "A monument to his connec-
ton with the magazine is seen in a fine

carving and adds a touch of color and of
sentiment to this very interesting monu-
ment of DR.. Holland. Carved brackets
and ornaments about the fireplace are
also Miss Egglestons work. The whole
room has an air Of comfort-added to by
bright wood fire-and Of dignity such
as one would expect to find in the office

A "FRIENDLY INTEREST"

He's not at all inquisitive.
He Just wants information. .
He likes to know how people live,
Their rank and occupation.
He wouldn't poke or peer. you see,
l.. He has no curiosity,
That vice that most of us detest;
It's just friendly interest.
He wants to know how much you pay
For house rent, clothes and smoking,
And II you've money put away.
His nose he is not poking
In your affairs; he'd not offend,
That Is the last thing he'd intend
You mustn't think that he'll protest;
It's Just friendly interest.
Your christian name, your age and weight,
Church, politics, digestion
The man Is quite insatiate
And question follows question.
To everyth the blooming chump
Applies his everlasting pump.
He's certainly, social pest,
The man with friendly interest.

Joint Statehood in Danger.

Senator Foraker, who has been lead
ing the fight against the joint statehood
bill, and who now says he has it beat
en-, has rendered the democrats the
votes of sixteen republican senators for
his amendment providing that joint
statehood shall not be imposed until the
people Of both territories shall separ-
ately vote for it. This amendment APP
pears to contain the germ Of home
rule. The fight against the statehood
bill comes largely from the disincl1na-
ton Of Arizona to be joined together
with New Mexico: Arizona Is peopled
by whites. New Mexico Is hopelessly
given over, to the mixed Spanish and
Mexicans. But there are more Of them
than there are Americans in Arizona.
On joint vote they would outvote the
sister territory. AS soon as statehood
became a fact, New Mexico would be
all there was Of the state. Her popu-
lation would entitle her to majority
of the legislature. She would be able
to select the governor and state officers.
She would, in fact, be the state, and
Arizona the attachment. This sort OF
a. thing is not agreeable to Americans,
who would rather remain in a territory
until that territory is. worthy of state
hood on it's own account. AS. to New
Mexico, it would take generations to 1T
it for statehood. The Foraker amend
ment would be the death knell of the
joint statehood bill, since Arizona would
never consent in a separate vote to,tle
herself to Now Mexico for life without
the possibility of divorce. =.

The release by the Omaha jury OF Pat
Grove, who kidnapped the Cudahy heir,
and obtained ransom for his return, is
explained by Nebraska sociologist. 1t
is shown that Cudahy is one of the most
active and efficient members of a trust
that has cornered the beef industry Of
the country and wrought the ruin OF
thousands of independent dealers in or
der to fill to repletion the Golfers Of q
mere handful of greedy plutocrats, It has
forced small dealers to buy Of the COM
bine or go out Of business, and at the
same time has fixed an arbitrary price
on the live stock shipped to market as
well as on dressed beef furnished to
local dealers. ~
The jury figured that the boy was re-
turned uninjured and that the touch
| ing'' of Mr.. Cudahy for q few thousands
was poetic justice. The claim is made
that there is something Of a public sen.
| timent in Omaha that anyone who Is
able to force cormorant to give uI
some of his plumber is really deserving Of
credit Hence Groves release
There may be something in this claim
Injustice breeds injustice
