Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1908. The Philadelphia Ledger says: "It would be a blessing to politics and social life if political leaders could rise to the dignity of letting responsibility for hard times rest on the actual causes. Unfortunately, the schoolmaster has not been long enough abroad. The politicians know the truth, but they cannot afford to tell it. A campaign on the manufactured issue of which party caused business disaster is a lasting misfortune, because it nurses to a longer life the popular habit of referring business troubles to a political organization instead of to the skating on thin financial ice which nine times out of ten is the principal cause of the crash. People would learn faster the common facts of business if they were taught to despise the childish malplacement of causes. "We are entering upon a campaign of hard times tirades. It is to be feared that nothing can be expected from the self-restraint of the orators. To escape the further propagation of false notions we must depend on a rapid restoration of good times. There is discouragement in the reflection that more reliance cannot be A. B. EMMETT J. SCOTT, placed on our American intelligence. Some time the error will be outlived, but the persistence of political traffic in disjointed thinking is lamentably alive." "Them's our sentiments," as the old fellow said who wrote out the Lord's Prayer and stuck it up on the head board of his bed so that when he was in a hurry to retire he could just point to the prayer and say, "O Lord, them's our sentiments." Although the present month is the shortest of the year, there are very many notable events in it. We have the Chinese New Year, "Ground Hog Day," Lincoln's Birthday, St. Valentine's Day, George Washington's Birthday, five pay days, provided, of course, that you get paid on Saturday, if you were born on Feb. 29th you will get a birthday that you had to do without for the last three years, and last, but not least, you will get five issues of THE APPEAL during this month. The man from Bangor who committed suicide because the girl he wished to marry robbed him of $200 and then played the skiddoo act is very unreasonable. He ought to feel that getting rid of that sort of wifeto-be at such a small cost should be cause for a grand celebration rather than make himself the occupant of the vehicle that leads the procession at a funeral. If the Sulloway Bill, which passed the House on last Monday, becomes a law it will give a pension to all widows of honorably discharged soldiers, which will be a good thing for many poor women. It involves an expenditure of $12,000,000 and will help to put in circulation some of the surplus cash 'of the government now locked up in its vaults. The gentlemen in the South Carolina House of Representatives are not inclined to follow in the wake of the legislators of some other Southern states and do without their morning toddies. Last week by a vote of sixty-four to fifty-three decided to not pass a state_prohibition bill. The Chicago Inter-Ocean is perfectly right about the proportion of suicides among Chicago married men being no argument against matrimony. But it may be an argument against lying awake nights and wondering when and how hard the wife will strike for alimony. The editor of the London Times receives a salary of $25,000 per year, isn't this enough to make all the editors of Afro-American papers turn green with envy? Yes, and some of the many other kinds of Americans also. The Thaw family are arranging to get Harry K. out of his confinement and then they are to shake the dust of this country off their feet and go to Europe. We are ready to bid them good-bye. As the little ground hog saw his shadow on Ground Hog Day, we are, according to, tradition, to have six weeks more of winter. “Uneasy lies the head of he who wears a crown” applies very forcible to Portugal these days, don't you think?

Religious superstition asserts itself in Chinese architecture, and the universal sacredness of the numerals three and nine is shown in the arrangement of temple doors. There is a triple gateway to each of the halls of the Imperial palace, and the same order prevails at the royal tombs, while the sacred person of the emperor can only be approached even by the highest officials after three times three prostrations have been given.

Yes, and you may be sure you will have some fun if you go to the grand entertainment to be given by the Catholic Men's Social Club at Tschida Hall, Thursday evening. Feb. 20, Hamilton's orchestra. Tickets, 25 cents. The Valet Tailoring Co., which has been in successful operation for several years, has decided to enlarge its business scope and has reorganized as follows: C. H.

And now for the Valentine Party to be given by the P. P. P. C. (Popular Profit and Pleasure Club) at original Roosevelt Club Hall, 377 Robert street, between 5th and 6th, Valentine night, February 14th. This is the first time this beautiful hall has been secured and that doubtless will be an attraction in itself, so say nothing of the good time you may have for 35 cents. Owing to the overagearness of Mrs. H. S. Graves to find the word "Vancouver," she inadvertently omitted to mention in the list of presents received at her silk and linen anniversary that of Mr. and Mrs. George Duckett, a handsome hand-embroidered white silk waist imported from Vancouver, B. C. There appeared a pair of Mrs. and Mrs. Alexander with that of Miss Elizabeth. It should have been Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Payne and Mrs. Elizabeth La Rue, towels, Mr. Monroe Riff's name was also omitted from the long list headed by Mrs. Z. Reynolds. Since the anniversary Misses Bertha Bowman and Ivy Robinson of Chicago sent a beautiful Battenburg ta Special Train Brings Performers and Others for Shriners' Circus Others for Shirrers Circus. A special train over the Chicago Great Western road arrived Tuesday, bringing the Rhoda Royal circus and Oklahoma Bill's Walt West and Concord Rivers which, under the auspices of the local Shrirers, will begin next Monday night a week's engagement at the Auditorium. Manager Royal carried fifty performers with him and twenty grooms. Twelve of the Rough Rider and ten "people" concert performers. Employees of the "circus," as the combined shows will be called, have arranged the big auditorium stage for moments of next week. This stage will measure, for the circus purposes, 142 feet in length, and 124 feet in width. In the center of the stage will be a 45-foot ring. About this ring, in a larger and somewhat irregular circle, will sweep the wide track for the hipodrome "events". Both the ring ring and the track will be covered with layers, carefully adjusted, of cinders, sand, clay and sawdust, kept in place by wooden cleats nailed to the floor. The coating of artificial "open lot" will be omitted, however, from a section of the stage bordering the orchestra pit, along which section mats will be laid to accommodate the acrobats. A small part of the stage opposite the Fourth street entrance will be reserved as a scenery "loft" and will shelter picturesque "drops" and "set pieces." The trapeze and other aerial equipment will hang from the center of the stage ceiling, so that the grim pleasure of seeing somebody fall will be viewed with equal clearness from all seats in the house. The seat sale has been most encouraging. Since there is to be no matinee Monday, the number of performances, as the public should know, will be eleven—five matinees and six night "shows."

The merg announcement that the "20th Century Maids" Company is to play at the Star Theater, commencing next Sunday, Feb. 9th, should warrant the packing of the theater from wall to wall next week. The company is far above the average, the roster includes some of the best known people on the vaudeville stage. Genuine, pure, frolicsome fun runs riot. It is pronounced the most startling innovation in the history of Defective Page burlesque. While it is one of the oldest members of the fold, yet everything is new and up-to-date, everything being new except the title, which is a household word to lowers of the burlesque. It has continued on the path of stage prosperity for a number of years, and this season it bids fair to outdo any previous season's success. It becomes necessary to dispense with details, suffice it to say, it contains the loveliest arrayed chorus girls with beautiful faces and forms divine, gowned in gorgeous costumes, and the largest number of performers with any one company. Cornella and -Eddie, in "Toss 'Em and Miss 'Em" are featured with the show. GOPHER LODGE, ELKS. Selects the Officers of General Arrangements for Coming of Grand Lodge.

Jules Verne's Feat of Travel Reduced by One-Half. Many of us marked an epoch for ourselves when Jules Verne wrote "Round, the World in Eighty Days," says London Spectator. Perhaps it was not possible then to go round in eighty days; the book would have been less exciting to children if it had been possible. But at all events it was nearly possible and many of us marked down the epoch. How many people could say off-hand to day, however, to what those eighty days have been reduced? A writer, F. A. McKenzie, tells us that the journey can be done in forty days and that in comfortable trains and ships, not by the desperate expedients of Jules Verne. We are told that the tickets cost only about $325 second-class and $615 first-class. The journey is reckoned in this way: London to Moscow, two and one-half days; Moscow to Vladivostok, thirteen days; Vladivostok to Yokohama, two days; Yokohama to London, via Vancouver, twenty-one and one-half days; connections, one day. The Russians understand the art of comfortable railway traveling; their carriages and buffets are models.

"Strongheart" and Ralph Stuart compose the offering at the Grand, starting with next Sunday matinee, Feb. 9th. It is a combination which St. Paul audiences will gladly welcome. "Strongheart" is a strong, virile American drama with the settings at Columbia University. It is a play dealing with college life, and a spirit of realism has been secured which is almost remarkable. The first act shows the rooms of the senior students. Act two shows a scene in the dressing room of the football team. Here the work of the scheming villain who desires his team to lose is intensified. Strongheart is compelled to remain in the dressing room during the second half is being played, and the excitement of the play watching the cheat with the strongheart desire to get in and help the team to victory is strikingly portrayed by Stuart. In the last two acts Mr. Stuart is given further opportunity to show his talents, and in every instance is said to make the most of them. His love scenes are very forceful, and later when he is compelled to return to his people without the woman he loves he gives a powerful portrayal of the man whose heart is torn asunder by a military duties and his sense of honor. The support accorded Mr. Stuart leaves. KENDRICK CAFE DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."
