NOT UNFAIR,
Custom of Sending Private Checks
to Distant Points Wrong.

Custom of Sending Private Checks
to Distant Points Wrong.
Big Stone County journal.
The action of the st. Paul banks in
refusing to accept from it's customers
on deposit checks on country banks or
any bank outside of st. Paul is calling
forth much unfavOrable comment on
the part of the state press. While we
hold that the action was hasty and
without due notice we do not see any
injustice in the action. The check Sys-
tenn was manlfestly unfair to the bank.
as it required them to accept checks as
cash aud wait from three days to a week
for the money while the checks are
making tue round for collection.
In this way thousands of dollars
were constantly in the air,
with no return. The banks
charged up the collection fees to the de-
positor. and IN this way the wholesaler
was made to pay the charges for trans
mission of funds which under the draft
system must now be paid by the country
merchant. This we consider hardship,
as at the presenl high prices worked
upon the country merchant of the
Northwest the wholesalers could well
afford to pay collection fees. The Gus.
tom of sending private checks to distant
points is wrong, and the whole check
system is not business-like. Sooner or
later the change must come, but at this
time it seems little selfish on the part
of st. Paul banks, who are today boast
ing more money on hand than any city
of equal size in the country

The commission named by the last
legislature to secure site and erect
new capitol building will meet at 10 a.
nj. today IN the governors room at the
state house. The main business to en-
gage the attention of the commission
will be the report of the special commit
tee to which all offers of sites were re-
ferred. While the recommendation
to be made is not definitely known, it
may be stated as very probable that
the offers now in will be rejected. Then
the commission will be at liberty to
make the best bargain it can, prospect
i've of any offers heretofore made, and,
if necessary. property may be con-
demned for capitol purposes, in which
case, OF course, legal proceedings might
cause some delay. 1t Is not impossible,

The great lumber consuming public,
the Forgotten Men in this case, have
rights which should be guarded by any
court which assumes to make the law
that must govern them. Their rights.
as Inherent and lnalienable as Is that of
life itself, is to buy what they wish
wherever they may buy it the cheapest
and of whom they can so buy it. No
men or combination of men have the
right, and no law, court-made or legis-
lative-made, should be permitted to
give them the power to deny that
right.
On the one hand are the people who,
having earned money, wish to buy lum-
Der. On the other hand is maker of
lumber who is willing to sell it t o them
at a price satisfactory to both. Be
tween them are other men who sell Ium-
Der others have made as their vocation.
These will not sell to the consumer as
cheaply as will the maker. This de-
clSlon says that these middlemen hava
the right to combine and threaten the
maker with the ruin of his business if
he sell directly To the consumer. The
greater right of the mass of the people
to buy as cheaply as they can is ignored

No decision that court ever rendered
involved greater lntere SITS or was more
far-reachlng in its consequences than is
this. The movement of trade toward
combination for mutual profit which
characterizes the times will take on
fresh impetus from it. The combines
regard it as an Endorsement of their
methods, finding it in the spirit more
than i'll the letter of the decision; in
what they can draw from it rather than
what they find it. The people will read
in it one more confirmation of their
helpiessness. The combines, formed
to protect themselves" to maintain
prices, to prevent competition. will take
heart afresh. The public opinion may
be against them, but the courts are with
chem, they Will say.
We are surprised that such decision
could come from any court, but we are
the more astOnished that it is written by
