ST. Paul, Jan. 2o.-This is one
of the pretty girls Of st. Paul who is
aiding in the revival of the old vim

The entire city of St. Paul, as we'll
of the northwest in general, has been
electrified by revival of the old win
ter sports carnivals which were held
here in 1SS6-7-S.
Every Wednesday and Saturday you
can now see hundreds of business
men in the downtown section of the
city wearing their marching club uni
forms, the same as was done in the
days of yore. Snowshoeing, skiing,
skating, curling, hockey and tobog-
gaming are exceedingly popular in ST
Paul this winter.
The carnival itself will consist of
10 days celebration, beginning Jan
q, in which all of the cities of the
northwest have been invited. Fargo,
Grand Forks, Duluth Winnipeg and
many other northwestern cities will
send marching club delegates to this
carnival.

PYTHIANS PLAN HOME
FOR STATE OF IOWA

At the regular annual convention of
the lodges Of the Eighteenth district,
Knights Of Pythias, held in Daven-
port this week, plans for the building
of a Pythian home somewhere in Iowa
were discussed, and it was decided to
make an attempt to bring the 1917
meeting Of the grand lodge to Daven-
port, matter that will be decided at
the 1916 convention to be held next
fall. District Deputy Grand Chancel-
lor Fred Bethel of Muscatine presided
at the meeting. Fifteen lodges were
represented - the four Davenport
lodges, Muscatine, LeClaire, Dixon,
Eldridge, Walcott, Buffalo, Iowa City,
Durant, Wilton, West Liberty, and
Lone Tree.
The convention Of the grand lodge
means for Davenport that in case it
is secured there will be delegates from
331 lodges throughout the country
with an approximate aggregate of &c.
900 members.
In discussing the founding OF a
Pythian home no particular site for
the home was mentioned, and the mat
ter will probably be held in allegiance
until the 1916 convention next fall
A fund has already been started
among the Iowa lodges for the found
ing of such a home.

'Kultur'' and Culture

An interesting definition of sfKul-
tur,'' pointing out it's differentiation
from CULTURE" is supplied by Frank
Jewett Mather, Jr. He says: ftKul-
tur'' means the organized efficiency of
a nation in the broadcast sense-its
successful achievement in civil and
military administration, industry,
commerce, finance, and in a quite sec
ondary way in scholarship, letters, and
art. Kultur applies to "a nation as a
whole, implying an enlightened gov
eminent to which the individual is
not an attribute of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
particular interests. on the contrary.
must, often be sacrificed to it-but of
nations. Culture, for which the near
est German equivalent is 'bildung is
the opposite of all this. 1t is an at
tribute not of nations as a whole. but
of accomplished individuals. It ac-
quires national import only through
the approval and admiration of these
individuals by the rest, who share but
slightly in the culture they applaud.
The aim of culture is the enlighten-
ed and humane individual conversant
with the vest values of the past and
sensitive to the best values of the pres
emit. The open-nil10edness and inn
agination implied in culture are po-
tential1y destructive to a highly organ
lied kuItur A cultured leader is
generally too much alive to the point
of view of his rival to- be a wholly
convinced partisan. Hence he lacks
the intensity, drive, ana narroWness
that makes for competitive success
Hence, nations with cultured leaders
have generally been beaten by those
whose leaders had merely kultur. The
Spartans and Macedonians had album
dant ku1tur; they generally beat the
Athenians, who had merely very high
culture. The Romans had kultur,
and the Hellenistic world wore their
yoke. : Kultur gaIyanizes; culture

EL1HU ROOT II TODAY

Elihu Root, the venerable New
York statesman whose boom Tor
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton has the support of many OF the
greatest men of his party, was born
in Clinton, N. Y, II years ago today,
the son Of Prof. Oren Root, who held
the chair OF mathematics at Hamilton
College While Mr.. Root has many
staunch friends and supporters, he
also has a host of political enemies,
by whom he is branded a reaction
airy, and who accuse him of subser-
vieney to Wall Street and the fbig in
terests.,' The rejection by the voters
of New York of the new state Con
stitntton, over the making of which
Mr.. Root presided was also viewed
as an unfavorabIe omen for his presi-
Dental candidacy. Added to these OBJ.
jections, many Republicans who might
otherwise support the famous lawyer
and statesman hold that he is too old
to act as the standard bearer of the
Grand Old Party in a year as critical
as this.
Mr.. Root graduated from Hamilton
College in 1864, and after a brief ex-
perience as a teacher at Rome Acad-
envy he took up the study of law at
New York University. He was ad-
mitted to the New York bar in 1867,
nearly half a century ago, and early
attained prominence in the profession.
period covered by the insurrection in
the Philippines and the Boxer expedi-
ton, and Secretary of State in Roose-
velt's cabinet fr ON 1905 to 1909, when
he entered the United States Senate
AS Secretary of State he made a tour
of South America and accomplished
much toward overcoming the Latin
American distrust of the Yanquis.'
Mr.. Root has long been connected
with important International move
ments, and his work for universal
peace won for. him the Nobel Peace
Prize. He is an advocate of a greater
army and navy for the United States.
In his recent addresses he has sug-
| gested that at the conclusion of the
presetn war it will be necessary to es-
tablish a new international code,
which would have the support of all
nations A violation of international
law, he declared. must be considered
as crime against thew orld, which
all nations are bound to assist in pun
| ishing. To be a real power, interna-
tional law must be raised to such a
plane that violation of treaty, such
as that of which Belgium was the VIC

forcefuI intervention of all nations.

INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT.
(Hartford Times, }

The Bridgeport correspondent of
the Hartford Counant. in discussing
the municipal problems of his city
and the plans which have been adopt
ed for their solution by the Republic
can administration says:
."The handling of the entirA situa-
ton has been in the hands of John T.
King, and Mayor Wilson has had lit
tie to do with solving the problems"
This statement, coming from a Re
publican source, cannot be said to be
inspired by political hostility to Mayor
Wilson or to Mr.. King. If the state
ment is true it places Mayor Wilson in
the position of having practically alb
rogated his official authority, an in
stance of invisible government in mu-
nicipaI affairs.
Is it possible that man, who is
an aspirant for the governorship of
the state and whose candidacy is inf1u-
content to be the nominal head Of his
municipality while another solves its
problems?
In case Mayor Wilson is promoted
from the position of executive of the
city of Bridgeport to that of chief ex-
ecutive of the state will Mr.. Kings re-
latfons to him in state affairs be the
same as they are in the business of
their municipality?
The people of the state have an OBJ
lection to the exercise of official au-
thority by any one without the as
sumption of responsibility, and it is
to be regretted that the objection is
not shared by majority of the elect
ors of Bridgeport It is the Tammany
Hall system of power without respon-
sibility and it is the very worst form
of invisible government. It is but a
few years since that w. Bourke Cock
