It is applied to grammar. Why! Largely because there are no teachers of grammar, while teachers of arithmetic are plentiful and skillful. v We ought to h a v e first a grammarian to write a book on grammar which would fulfill the conditions of success- fully imparting knowledge of the sci- ence of language, and that teachers who would make that book their own prop- erty. Then, there is the further duty laid upon the teachers of using correct English themselves. Not 10 per cent of the teachers in the public schools talk as correctly before the children they know how, and for that matter, not 2 per cent of the parents. So far as good reading is concerned, the chil- dren in the schools are well supplied. The reading for the grades never was so good as it is todav. The efforts made by the teacher to have the children use written language were never more strenuous nor more successful. But technical instruction in the making of sentences having been practically aban- doned, some wonderful results ensue from the imbibing process.

Yet no one out- side the inner ring o f N e w York high finance could trace the process of man- ipulation to its primary source. I t i s clear, however, that the country has enough money for its legitimate busi- ness, a n d i s getting along very well. Speculatively the action of the mar-' ket indicates the strong belief of pro- fessional Wall street in a greater bull market to come. The public, it is be- lieved, will one day come in. Such is the history of the street. Foreign wars, bad scares and scandals have kept the people out and delayed the big boom, but always, if given time, the public comes in and buys stocks, too often at the very top. Wall street profession- als are hanging to their stocks against depressing influences, while such out- siders as are in are being shaken o u t b y hisrh money. The professionals are con- fident that some time in the coming year the public will appear, a b i g boom will be on, and then will be the time for them quietly to let the public take the lead. « At Los Angeles last week Richard Mansfield astonished the hotel man by sleeping in three beds.

City News THE SUNDAY JOURNAL THE ONLY REAL THING Renville (Minn.) Farmer. Xh© Minneapolis Journal Is the only twin city paper that supplies the country field with a real Sunday paper. Harmony in Minnesota. If the republican party of Minnesota is not harmonious next year it will not be the fault of the Minneapolis Tri- bune. It has laid down the conditions of success clearly in a number of arti- cles culminating in one on Wednesday, in which it stated its hope that no can- didate is goin-g to be unfairly nomi- nated or defeated next year. The use of the qualifying phrase m a y b e signifi- cant of an admission of defects in the nominating methods of some other years. The Tribune finds three candidates in the field, each of whom has presented himself with " singular modesty and good taste." Not one of them, the Tribune says, the people need to refuse to support. Having given them such a good sendoff, the Tribune proceeds to state some reasons why they need not be supported. First Mr. Lindeke "sat above the salt at the late railroad ban- quet" and the Tribune doubts if there is time between now attd election "to remove from the minds of Minnesota farmers the persistent delusion that St. Paul jobbers have grown rich on railroad rebates at their expense." This would seem to dispose of Mr. Lin- deke notwithstanding the modesty and singular good taste of his e'ntrance upon the field. Then again: "In spite of the delicacy with which Mr. Block is conducting his campaign it is impossi- ble not to be reminded by it of pre- vious machine campaigns conducted from the capitol whose methods and results made the. judicious grieve." Down goes Mr. Block. Lastly the Tribune is in' painful doubt h o w f a r Mr, 13,652,735 barrels of flour. So far in 1905 they have turned out over 14,000,- 000. When the output for the few re- maining days of the year is figured in, there will b e a gain shown of approxi- mately 500,000 barrels. It may run to 600,000 provided the mills now closed for the regular holiday season, open before the first of the year. I n a n y case there will b e a favorable compari- son, yet the reader unfamiliar with con- ditions here, who bases his judgment solely on the gross figures, will have no correct idea of the present state of the industry, or of the enormous business done here thru the fall season, in which period all high records for daily, weekly and monthly productions were broken. The year 1 9 0 4 w a s a b a d one for northwest milling, for the wheat crop was cut down somewhat, and the qual- ity of the crop was also lower, more wheat being required to make a barrel of flour than ordinarily. This abnormal condition with reference to the raw ma- terial supply, and extremely high prices for wheat, due partly to the small total crop in the United States, and in some part also to speculation and price manip- ulation, bore hard against the millers. But the point that the ordinary observer will overlook is that fact that these ad- verse influences caused b y t h e crop turn- out of 1904 were felt not so much in that year, as in the early part of the present year, 1905. Thus, thru several months of 1905, the Minneapolis flour business was far be- low normal. As soon as conditions got back again to former basis a n d a better crop was raised, wheat prices went to levels where flour could be made with some profit and the mills befcan to pick 1 up the former business that had been lost to them. Despite the light produc- tion of this early part of 1905 the year runs well over 1904. All this gain was made within the past few months. It is likely that after the passing of the present annual dullness, the mills will again grind heavily. With a fair crop again in 1906, they will keep i t u p . The point is, that the comparison of this year's results with last year does not give any adequate idea of the busi- ness recently done here, or of the pres- ent good condition of the industry. When the crop year comparisons are 2, and the last three hours in bed No. 8. California is vociferous regarding its cli- mate, but says little of Its fleas. It was these lattar that the actor tried to foil. Incidentally it is a good advertising story, too. Statisticians have figured that every forty seconds an immigrant enters New York city. The aliens some twenty-nine times faster than the children. Of aH those who come from Europe one in every four settles ip. N e w Tork, or one every two and two-thirds minutes. New York city is growing nearly three times faster from. Immigration than from births. The Fergus Falls Journal, discussing candidates for governor, says: "St. Paul and southern Minnesota have a number of men who are regarded an available, but the only 1 man from the northern part of the state who is receiv- ing any serious consideration is A. L. Cole of Walker, if northern Minnesota gives him good support he will be quite a formidable candidate in the* conven- tion." The "boost" for Cole is rather unex- pected from such a source, as Elmer Ad- ams has been arguing against' the Cole state land bill and declaring it a failure. He evidently thinks more of the author than he does of the measure. The Breckenridge Gazette is responsible for the following resume and prediction: If conditions are ripe for a political reTolution in this state next jear, J. P. Jacobson will be the lepubllean candidate for governor. If the candidate is to Btand for conservatism and regu- laiity it will be Sam Lord. If the radical and conservative wings need uniting Frank Eddy will be the man. One of the three named will be the republican candidate for governor, and, with a party reasonably well united, any one of thein can be elected by a good majority. The Hendrum Review sayB: Before the newspapers of northern Minnesota get thru "mentioning" ellglbles for the gover- norship they should start a boom for Judge Grindeland. Perhaps he may be the one so much talked of "who will come out when the proper time arrives—someone not yet mentioned, etc." Anyway, he Is a good runner politically, has the qualifications for a flrst-class governor and was not prominently identified with either the Dunn or Collins factions. Judge Grindeland's record in the senate was above reproach, and his drainage law is one of the biggest pieced of con- structive legislation in recent years. There is talk in Freeborn county of sending Ray C. Blackmer to the legisla- ture. Mr. Blackmer has just sold th«> Freeborn County Times, which he oper- ated successfully for over nine years, and Is looking after his other interests, which would give him time to attend to th'e duties of a lawmaker, He is a stu- dent of public questions, a man of high, principles and would make a valuable man in the statehouse. 4 —Charles B.

It is pretty hard on these m e n w h o have presented themselves so carefully and modestly to have their armor pierced first b y t h e authority which commends their unob- jectionable personality. But the point is probably that the Tribune prefers Jacobson to any other candidate. There are some occult re- marks at the bottom of the article which might support such a conclusion. While Jacobson has not come out with becoming modesty nor in any other way he will perhaps be stirred to activ- ity on learning that the Tribune is for kim even to the extent of saying that the state has had far worse governors. It Is believed that the president care- lessly ran a monkey wrench r thru the Odell machine. compared with the season of 1905-06, much more favorable figures will appear than are found in the calendar year comparisons. A multimillionaire has been appointed superintendent of street cleaning in Cin- cinnati. This partially answers the question, "What shall we do with our millionaires?" This should also be sug- gestive to Mr. Starkweather. IT Teachers and Grammar. The Pioneer Press says the State Edu- cational association is to be congratu- lated on having awakened to the desir- ability of teaching English in the schools rather than English grammar. The amount of teaching of English grammar that has been done in' the public schools recently has not bur- dened the teachers. If the Pioneer Press had counseled the teachers that, having abandoned the teaching of tech- nical grammar, they would do well to begin the teaching of English, its re- mark would be more to the point. There is considerable to be learned about English from English grammar. Its abandonment in the educational sys- tem is not so much the fault of the grammar as of those who taught it. If they could not teach it understanding- ly, of course, they did well to give it up. But really grammar should be no harder to teach than arithmetic. I t i s the science of language based upon' the analysis of concrete examples, just as arithmetic is the science of numbers based upon the analysis of concrete* ex- amples. Why is it so many people nowadays do not knpw the relation of subjects to their predicates? Because they have not been taught. They have imbibed. Latofcuage comes because it has to come. Numbers would come in the same way if we did not have a science of numbers. The half-civil- ized man notched his stick, and even the Indian succeeds in keeping some sort of accounts, not from choice but from necessity. The point is that a good deal of the objection to grammar could b e afl i o g - A Remarkable Money Market. No greater exhibition,of stock mar- ket stubbornness was ever witnessed than that now afforded. For weeks call money rates i n N e w York have aver- aged well above the level where, ordi- narily, prices are adversely affected. Yesterday'and today the strength that has been shown by leading issues against an advancing money market was most extraordinary. True, the entire list was down, but, except for declines in five or six points in the most manipu- lated stocks that had recently been boomed in advance of the general mar- ket and were due for reactions, there was an early loss of only a point o r t w o all around. This with money a t 4 0 a n d 45 per cent. Thru the calling in of millions of funds, and a steadily rising interest rate following new loans or applications The American Contractor reports upon the Richmond, Va., gas plant against public ownership. It declares that the experts employed to trace why the plant was producing poorer and poorer light while there was nothing doing In the way of reduced rates of taxation figure that the plant, originally worth a million dol- lars, now needs three-quartera ( of a mil- lion in repairs to bring it up to the standard required by the city. They re- port that while more labor has been em- ployed and at higher wages than a pri- vate company would have been obliged to pay, there is no suspicion of graft. It seems to be largely a case of where there was no self-interest to hold down the ex- penses and keep up the plant. The committee of twenty-one of the National Civic federation on Nov. 27 passed upon the plan for the investigation of -public ownership of certain utilities and appointed a committee of five to elaborate it. This committee is composed of Professor Frank J. Goodnow of Colum- bia; Walter Clark of the United Gas Im- provement company; Eld w a r d S W. Bemls, superintendent of the Cleveland water- works; J. W. Sullivan, editor of the Garment Workers' Journal, and Milo R. Maltbie, a franchise expert. Without a dissenting vote the retiring, council of Providence, R. I , approved a contract for six years with the Narragan* sett Electric Lighting company at slightly reduced rates It was estimated that the city would save $80,000 from present rates during the time of the contract. Mayor Johnson of Cleveland has come forward and shouldered the responsibility for getting Dalrymple to this country at the expense of Chicago. Mayor Johnson admits that he did not know w h o h e w a s sending for, but believed it was a man named Young. Young is the man who planned the Glasgow street railway com- pany. He had been succeeded by Dal- lymple before the Chicago invitation to the manager of the Glasgow street rail- ways was sent. The "ownership" may- ors did not know they had been gold- bricked until later. CHRISTMAS WITH THE INDIANS Miller (S D.) Sun. A delegation of Indians are here from Crow Creek after Christmas toys for the annual celebration of the big holiday among the dusky children of the agency. Dolls, railroad trains, Noah's arks, steam engines and dozens of little Yankee toys are now required by the Indian Santa Claus in filling the stockings of the youngsters, besides bushels of candy. "When I was a girl," remarked a well- dressed, middle-aged squaw, "there was no Christmas nor such doings in my tribe, but as the new order of things makes Foyer Chat. May Irwin, who is pleasing large audi- ences at the Metropolitan this week with her now comedy, "Mrs. Black Is Back," is said to be the wealthiest actress on the American stage. She owns many parcels of New York real estate, and a beautiful island, called Irwin island, in the St. Lawrence river. Here she always sum- mers with her family. Her town home is a beautiful mansion on Sixty-eighth street, New York. On Sunday evening Andrew Mack will appear at the Metropolitan In "The Way to Kenmare," a romantic Irish comedy, which will be repeated on Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday nights and at the special matinee New Year's Day. For the last part of the week Mr. Mack will be seen as "Tom Moore" in a dramatiza- tion of certain romantic incidents in the life of the famous Irish national poet. Mr. Mack's brilliant tenor voice will be heard in both plays, introducing Moore's most popular ballads, and some of his own compositions. The big comedy bill which is being pre- sented at the Unique this week is win- ning golden opinions from all sorts of people. The cast includes the Raffertys, Irish comedians; s the four Ellsworths, brilliant sketch 'artists* Irene Little, the talented yoi»ngr sifter, and Burgess, Dan- iel and Burgess, the champion comedy acrobats, in their London music hall suc- cess, "The Singing Barmaid." Those, who were so puzzled over the "Dida" illusion, "the creation of a woman out of nothing," which w a s a feature at tbe Orpheum theater several weeks ago, will have an opportunity this even- ing of seeing it exposed by Edwin Latell, the musical monologist, whose imitations of the phinese conjurers have made such a hit this week. High-class singing will again char- acterize the bill at the Orpheum theater next week, when the Doria trio with "A Night in Venice," and Marlon Garson, a phenomenal soprano; will be featured. Lottie Williams in "My Tomboy Girl," the spectacular musical comedy drama by Charles E. Blaney, continues to be greeted by large and enthusiastic audi- ences at the Bijou. The scenery and electrical and mechanical effects are an added feature, and no effort has been spared to make the play a big scenic pro- duction. The sets of scenery of special note are the Twenty-third street ferry, New York city; the cave of the robbers; the room of the trap door; the old Vir- ginia home; the Waldorf-Astoria hotel; the Jefferson Market court, and others of equal splendor. A popular-priced matinee will be given Saturday at 2:30. Commencing Sunday afternoon the Bijou will present the musical comedy success entitled "The" Errand Boy," which is used principally as a vehicle to display the eccentric talents of the versatile comedian, Billy B. Van. Mr. Van is 'sur- rounded by a large company of merry- makers, vocalists and specialty artists. The plot unfolds a unique story of fun, adventure and surprising Ingenuity, all of which has been accorded an appropriate setting, and. one considerably removed from the conventional. & . , in The Jotirnal's cooking Contest Qnly a f e w days were allowed for en- trance into the contest and the flood of answers nearly submerged the cooking contest editor.

To- day the rate went to $1.25 before noon without serious disturbance in the stock market. The history of Wall street does not afford an exact parallel. On May 8, 1901, the last extreme call rates were seen, 75 per cent being the maximum. Stocks had a heavy fall, as they have always had when rates rose abnormally.

BEEF TRUST CUTTING ITS THROAT Kansas City Star. Persons eager for the extermination of the beef trust are much encouraged by the movement of the trust to crush the independent packers The more you can get the people to hate the beef trust, the better it will be for the square deal.

Presumably these pro- fessionals fortified themselves with long-time money, at lower rates, in an- ticipation of high call money, or they would not now be able to stand the strain. Indeed they, may not be able to stand it, and continued high rates may mean a loosening up, but, were Bix in Nebraska State Journal. One of the strong characters of our western civilization Trisited Lincoln last week, but for only a few hours. Thirty- four years ago Eb Hunting, an ambi- tious printer with small capital and large ideas, landed at Windom, Minn., and began the publication of a weekly news- paper called the Reporter. For several years it was an uphill job ,to make a living, and he declares now that it wasn't much of a living after he got it. But he toughed it out, and is glad that he did it, for he has one of the very best country newspaper plants in the state, besides a good home and two ( or three farms that he gathered "on subscription" during grasshopper times. In point of continu- ous service in the newspaper harness he is third man high in the state of Minne- sota, which is largely due to a tough and rugged constitution >and the moderate price of seasoned hardwood. The influ- ence of his newspaper is felt thruout the entire state, for he is quotetd copiously on all topics of public concern. His paper is always republican, but not of-the yel- low-dog variety, and stands for the square deal all the time. His optimism is sub- lime, and one can't be in his presence a minute without feeling refreshed and com- forted. , r~~ 1„ . . NEW, ZEALAND QUITE INDEPEN- DENT Baltimore American. The present is proving a very un- healthy fall season for many ambitious hopes. NEW DISTINCTION FOR ST. PAUL Morris Tribune. St. Paul has now become the. Moorhead of Minneapolis. - Mr. Seddon, the premier of New Zea- land, announced in a speech recently that Japanese would not be allowed tot come to New Zealand and that the colony would refuse to be dictated to in the matter. This is in reference to a circular from the British colonial officii addressed to the colonies and demanding the repeal of laws that are rep.ugnanfe£ttf the feelings of na- tions with which, Great .Britain is at great, in fact, that she accused several of robbing their wives' cook books. One Sent Sample. Another feature that w a s a little out of the usual was the box of excellent fudge that accompanied the formula of "Kittie C." Miss Irwin ate the confec- tion with great relish and said if that goody was made from the recipe entered, the > woman deserved the pri^e, for it certainly was the best fudge she had ever tasted. Either thru the neglect of the con- testant to attach her name, or because the name was lost when the large batch of recipes was sorted, the winner of "The Servant Problem" contest can- not be announced, but her sensible es- say is published below and she will re- ceive the prize of the private b o x , b y identifying her paper. Several other sensible papers on this subject were submitted, out Miss Irwin took the newspaper point of view and chose the paper that covered the subject in the smallest^ space. The tickets for the prize winders are now at The Journal office a n d m a y b e obtained by them at the want ad coun- ter on the first floor of The Journal building. I t w a s t h e intention' to mail the tickets to the winners, b u t t h e short time remaining, and the possibility that some might be lost has resulted in the change of plans. The Winning Contributions. The contributions on which prizes were awarded are: ' N The Servant Problem. "In nine cases out of ten a good mistress will have a good servant a n d i t does not require 200 words to solve the problem. Give your servant a clean, warm room, a good bed, respect her privacy, let her respect herself and overlook her inconsequential mistakes. At the same time kindly teach her the best methods for doing her work—and you have the problem in a nutshell." Boiled Ham. Leave ham in cold water all night. Wash in bran and hot water until all the black spots come off. Then rinse in cold water. Put in cold water and put some marjoram and thyme and a few whole onions in kettle. Leave over fire until it starts to boil and then set back from fire So that it will keep hot, but not boil. If you wish different taste, pour on one quart of wine and just enough water to cover ham. Keep turning over until it is soft on all sides. If you desire to eat it cold, let it be- come softer. When the ham is boiled, pull off the skin and roll it up to the top of the leg or take it off altogether. Put salt and pepper and sage on it and then wrap it in paper. —Erhardt Tuerbringer, 2010 Girard Avenue N. *** * s Welch BareMt. Take one pound New York full cream cheese, one-half pint cream, one even teaspoonful dry mustard, one even tea- spoonful Hungarian pepper, one even teaspoonful or salt, two raw eggs and one ounce butter. Have ready hot toast or crackers. Place butter in chafing dish, add half the cream. Put cheese, cut fine, in chafing dish with butter and cream and stir constantly until well cooked and smooth.

OPT TO OAiilFOBNIA Sunshine Route Popular—Tourist Cars from the Twin Cities to Los Angeles, California. To accommodate the large and _ in- creasing tourist travel to California, a through tourist sleepmgcar line has been established between St. Paul and Minneapolis and Los Angeles via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railways, the Sunshine Koute. Leaving Minneapolis at 8:20 a.m. every Tuesday, St. Paul 8:30 a.m., the tourist has a daylight ride through one of the most populous and richest agri- cultural sections of Minnesota and Iowa. Kansas City is reached at 8:20 a.m. the next day,. The car attached t o t h e Santa Fe train leaves Kansas City at 11 a.m. Wednesday. During the afternoon the train passes through some of the most thriving towns in Kansas—Lawrence, Topeka (where a stop of twenty-five minutes is made for dinner), Osa'ge City, Empo- ria, Florence, Newton, Hutchinson, see- nic Colorado being entered during the night. The Panorama of the Rockies. The next mcrning at an early hour La Junta, in southeastern Colorado, is reached, and at this point the first v i e w is had of the Kockv Mountains, the train skirting the eastern foothills and entering New Mexico near Raton. Will- iams is reached at noon on Friday. This is the junction with the line to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and a stopover may be had here if a visit to the Grand Canyon is provided for in the itinerary of the tourist. From San Bernardino until arrival at Los Angeles, at 8:25 a.m. Saturday, the train runs through the garden spot of southern California. "Reasons Why." Briefly stated, the advantages offered by The Sunshine Route from the north- west consists of the shortest litte to southern California; a direct route to San Francisco and vicinity; great scenic attractions, including the Grand Can- yon of the Colorado river in Arizona; a route less affected by snow than those through the more northerly Rocky Mountain passes; an easy grade, consid- ering that the continental ranges must be surmounted; equipment complete in all appointments, and a delightful cli- mate. For each double berth (one berth will comfortably accommodate two per- sons) the price is $6.75 from St. Paul or Minneapolis to either Los Angeles or San Francisco. Tickets and Berth Reservations. For the Sunshine Route your tickets should read via the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul Railway to Kansas City, thence via the Atchison, Topeka & San- ta Fe Railway and connections to Ari- zona, New Mexico and California des- tinations.

The F e r g u s Fal l s Journal, d iscuss ing candidates for governor, s a y s :

"St. Paul and southern Minnesota have a number of men who are regarded an avai lable , but the only1 m a n from the northern part of the s ta te w h o is receiv­ing a n y ser ious consideration is A. L. Cole of Walker, i f northern Minnesota g ives him good support he will be quite a formidable candidate in the* conven­t ion."

T h e "boost" for Cole i s rather unex­pected from such a source, a s Elmer A d ­a m s has been arguing aga ins t ' the Cole s ta te land bill and declaring it a failure. H e evident ly th inks more of the author than he does of the measure .

T h e Breckenridge Gazette i s responsible for t h e fol lowing resume and prediction:

If conditions are ripe for a political reTolution in this state next jear, J. P. Jacobson will be the lepubllean candidate for governor. If the candidate is to Btand for conservatism and regu-laiity it will be Sam Lord. If the radical and conservative wings need uniting Frank Eddy will be the man. One of the three named will be the republican candidate for governor, and, with a party reasonably well united, any one of thein can be elected by a good majority.

The Hendrum Rev iew sayB: Before the newspapers of northern Minnesota

get thru "mentioning" ellglbles for the gover­norship they should start a boom for Judge Grindeland. Perhaps he may be the one so much talked of "who will come out when the proper time arrives—someone not yet mentioned, etc." Anyway, he Is a good runner politically, has the qualifications for a flrst-class governor and was not prominently identified with either the Dunn or Collins factions.

Judge Grindeland's record in the senate w a s above reproach, and his drainage law i s one of the b igges t pieced of con­struct ive legis lat ion in recent years.

There is talk in Freeborn county of sending R a y C. Blackmer to t h e legis la­ture. Mr. Blackmer h a s jus t sold th«> Freeborn County Times , w h i c h he oper­a ted successful ly for over nine years , and Is looking after h i s other interests , wh ich would g ive him t i m e to at tend to th'e dut ies of a lawmaker , H e i s a s t u ­dent of public quest ions, a m a n of high, principles and would m a k e a valuable m a n in the s ta tehouse . 4

B u t he toughed i t out, and i s g lad tha t h e did it, for he h a s one of t h e very bes t country newspaper plants in the s tate , bes ides a good home and two (or three farms that he gathered "on subscription" during grasshopper t imes . In point of cont inu­ous service in the newspaper harness he is third m a n high in the s t a t e of Minne­sota, wh ich is largely due to a tough and rugged const i tut ion >and the moderate price of s easoned hardwood. The influ­ence of his newspaper i s felt thruout the entire s tate , for he i s quotetd copiously on all topics of p u b l i c concern. H i s paper is a l w a y s republican, but not o f - t h e ye l ­low-dog variety, and stands for the square deal all the t ime.
