A NOBLE RACE.

The past month has been period of
public meetings when many drafts have
been made on the time of st. Paul's
patriotic citizens. All sorts of projects
have been preached, and night after
night busy men have returned at the
end of long days work to attend con-
ferences the result of which would ben
eft them only indirectly. All this Is a
most gratifying evidence of public
spirit and local loyalty. There are
sometimes expressions of opinion to the
effect that other places excel us in
these directions. But this is not true.
Our city is first here, as we'll as else
where.
Another thing suggested by these
meetings is worthy of comment. They
are always interesting and effective
gatherings. AT their very beginning
those who attend them get down to
work, and the discussion is direct, CO.
herent, amiable, and of the highest con-
structive value. Nobody speaks for
vainglOry. Many say nothing. Those
who are heard convey their meaning
clearly, briefly, cOnvincingly. When
there is difference of opinion it is re-
ceived in kindly spirit, even though it
excites a vigorous debate. There are
no splits. no sulking in ones tent, no
al TO submit to the will of the ma
iority. EaTneStness is not more charac
teristic of all such occasions than is
good nature. The men of this town
know each other well. They listen TO

WANT TO COME IN.

The territories of Arizona and New
Mexico are at the portals. and. it is I'M
derstoOd, will tap on the door for ad-
mission during the present congress.
They will show constitution and state
framework ready to be utilized. Their
representatives claim TO be hopeful of
success, but that indicates nothing as to
the result. They are probably encour-
aged by the admission OF the last batch
of little states, with population and con-
ditiOns similar. The governor of Ari-
IONA, III his report. claims 10000 pOpula-
ton, which is 10000 more than Mr.. POR-
TIERS agents enumerated in 1890.
The only importance of the state
ment would be that it shows a rapid in
crease in numbers and development. 1t
has resources that are being utilized ev-
identity, as its assessment is more than
double that Of some other territories
with twice the population. Still, the
claims of Arizona for early admission
do not appear to be imp0rtunate. 1t is
not suffering outside any more than
were Wyoming and Idaho, and the Re
publicanS are not certain that the SEN
ators would be of the right political
compilation. The case Of New Mexico
is still more familiar. There are
several states with less pOpula-
ton, bat it is pretty badly mixed
in the character of its elements.
1t has been settled for hundreds of
years, and, from the narration of a writer
in one of the December magazines, it
would seem that civilization is too tor
pid among the natives who compose the
bulk of the population for the Ameri-
can style Of self-gOyernment. An i'll

RATTLING RAUM.

Fiction about the pension department
is good enough in its way, but what the
people want most just now is the truth
about it.-St. Louis POSt-DiSbatch.
Mr.. Raum evidently thinks there are
skeletons enough in the pension Office
closets for all supernatural purpos 5,
and that BOgies are SuperfuouS.-In-
dianapolis Sentinel.
Commissioner Raum has discharged
the pension examiner who ripped open
a wound he had just sewed up when
he found that the patient would
not pay for his surgery. This appears
to be one of the few-the very few-Of1i
cial acts of Commissioner Raum that
can be cOmmended.-Chic Times.
The intimatiOn that if Raum resigns
there Will be no investigation of the
pension department is probably not
true. The Indignation of the people is
directed not only against the system
which permits and encourages vicious
waSte.-St. Louis POSt-DiSpatch-
Commissioner Raum has Joined the
purity party and won't have any dec
OlIete writers in his department. The
two st. Louis authors who have shocked
the old gentleman into giving them
valuable advertisement can probably af
ford to retire from their saIaried posi-
lions and live on the profits which the
pure mans published CONSERVATION as
sured them. st. Louis PoSt-Dispatch.
There has been plenty to criticise in
Pension Commissioner Raum's official
record, but his action in dismiSSing the
examiner at Cumberland, Md, who cut
the stitches iii mans wound because
the latter was unable to pay g, will be
Endorsed without regard TO party lines.
The govsrnment has a right TO require
that its medical representatives shall be
governed by the motives of common hui
manity.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

INVITING THE TWINS.

A Minneapolis man has got divorce
from his wife on the ground that she is
a kieptOmaniac. He even alleged that
she stole his heart.-St. Joseph News.
1t is just as we'll that St. Paul aban-
dOned the idea of an ice palace this
winter. There is not much probability
of sufficient ice to construct it.-Duluth

a Minneapolis girl killed herself yes
terday to escape going to school. Give
me Ignorance or give me death' sug
gests itself as an appropriate motto for
the Convention City.-ChicagO News.
1t is understood that Minneapolis and
st. Paul are still dissatisfied with the
results of the Porter census, and that
movement is on foot to secure another
enumeration during the second week Of
next June. Chicago Mail.
A st. Paul contemporary report of
sermon recently delivered by a promi-

query: us There Need of a Help
Such question would not have been

temporary that they are not SO large

get down on its knees to drink out of a
tin cup.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
a Minneapolis court recently granted
a man divorce on the ground that his
wife was ''klept0maniac." Perhaps

BACK DOOR INVASION.

While Chinese are being struggled
across the British border out toward the
Pacific, the more easterly line is being
crossed by even more undesirable
classes. The authorities of Illinois were
recently calling for government protec-
ton from the invasion of persons with
infectious diseases from Canada. Still
later it is alleged that Russian pauperS
are being disposed of by the British aid
societies by shipping them around TO
Winnipeg and then over this side of the
line. They have probably found diff
ficulty in getting them in by the Allan
tic ports. Congress will be called upon
to devise more efficient means to pro-
tect the country from this sort of thing.

MERRIAM HAS THE CALL.

Republicans are booming Gov. Mer-
riam for the vice presidencY.-Clear-
water Review.
If the Republicans nominate Merriam
for vice president they won't have to re-
tail their ticketS.-Duluth Herald.
The st. Paul GLOBE is booming Gov.
w. Il. Merriam as a candidate for vice
president upon the Republican ticket.
1t would not be a bad selection.-Hast-
ings Gazette.
William r. Merriam's name is being
mentioned in connection with the vice
presidency upon a ticket which shall
read Blaine and Merriam. Well. Gov.
Merriam is thoroughly competent to
preside over the United States senate,
and his nomination would be an excel
lent one, providing the Northwest gets
it.-Sauk Center Herald.
Some of the Republican papers have
the nerve to place Gov. Merriam in the
second place III the next presidential
election. No doubt the governor would
like it, but the plurality he got at his
last election cannot be pointed to with
out feeling nervous about the result.
However, if his political pull and execu-
tive ability won't help him out, his
"barrel" certainly ought to.-Fairfax

Hit A TRUST.

Not much Roadway has been made by
any of the states or by congressional
enactment in enforcing the antitrust
measures. Trusts have multiplied since
the passage Of the MCKINLEY bill. and
the only material encouragement: to
them is found in the fact that when
they put up the prices of TIN the con-
sumption of the articles grows less. and
they fail to realize the ends aimed at.
A Michigan court, however, recently
pointed out a way in which the knife
can be inserted into the ribs of the
combinations at times. A manufacturer
of knives was to supply quantity at
specified rates. About that time
combination was formed among the
manufacturers of cutlery, and be-
fore the delivery of the knives the price
had gone up. The increase was put in
the bill, and the purchaser refused to
pay it. Suit followed which reached
the state supreme court, which held
that under the antitrust law the com
bination was an unlawful one. and its
action was illegal. 1t had no right to
fix the market price of the goods. and
the decision was for the defendant.
That line OF judicial thought should
have broad sphere of usefulness.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

There were no features of particular
Saiiency about the markets during the
week just ended. The most interesting
literary contribution in this department
was the publication of the annual treas
ury report. This, however, covers the
fiscal year ending in June last, and is
already ancient history at the date of its
appearance. 1t shows a falling off in
revenue of so, 46S, $50, or about 215 per
cent. and an increase of governmental
expenditures of S57 $50, 1913, or nearly IA
per cent. The treaSury's surplus was
also cut down from s105, 344, 1876 to $751;
239, 763.
The general tendency Of the specu-
latiye interests was dOwnwards, with
wheat as notable exception. 1t held
its own in spite of continued large re-
ceiptS, the average Of 100000 bushels
for the week being maintained. The
exception was induced largely by the
bad weather and the unfavOrable news
about the condition of the new winter
wheat crop. The closing Of lake traffic
also threw an extraordinary amount of
business on the railroads, and resulted
i'll temporary blockade Oh the Eastern
lines and considerable interference with
grain shipments.
DUN'S resume reports collections slow
in the South, fair in the East. but very
satisfactory at Chicago, st. Louis and
St Paul. Taking up general business,
section by section. it finds IFS condition
closely corresponding to what this sng
gestS. At the South it is quiet because
cotton is held in the hope of rise. In
the East and center it is good, and at
the cities like Chicago and st. Paul, to
which are tributary the grain fields Of
the West, its volume is large and its
movements active.
And this is particularly encouraging
because it comes just before a new ses-
sion of congress. Under ordinary cir
cumstances there would be some dis
turbance at such period. The appre
hension of legislation which, no matter
what its character. must affect some
lines more or less, is sometimes the case
and sometimes the preteXt for stagna-
ton and the postponement of new ell
terprises and the curtailment of credit
So profound is general confidence this
year, however. that the political Sltua
ton does not affect the regular course O
events at all, and men are freely trading
and selling without fear of trouble from
any source.
Locally in every department there i
the highest buOyancy and the creates
