OF a bill authorizing the president TO
name monetary commission to con-
slider and report safer and better
system of national finance than the one
which now prevails as policy Of the
country. The following resolution Of
Tered by Mr.. Dean was adopted under
a suspension of the rules:
The chamber. Of commerce of the city of St.
Paul most respectfully but earnestly direct
the attention OF your honorable body to the
unsatisfactory condition of the currency and
banking laws of the United States, and. in
consequence, to the ever present danger Of
financial disturbance and distress to all the
business interests of the nation.
The last election Enthusiastically expressed
the anxious desire of the people of the United
states for a reetiication of the currency and
banking laws, and to that end we believe that
such reform must be in well digested and
deliberate legislation, which may best be pro-
vfded for by authorizing the president to ap-
point a commission proposed by the IN
dianapolis monetary convention. Therefore,
the granting of such authority to the presi-
dent during the present extra session.
Copies of the resolution will be sent
to the commercial bodies of the coun-
try as we'll as to the Minnesota dele
cation at Washington.
A resolution presented by H. Holbert,
prohibiting the use of sidewalks east
of Lexington avenue to bicycle riders,
failed to pass.

WHERE AN ERROR CREPT IN.
Martin Lumber Company Owes Bank
of Minnesota Nothing.

Martin Lumber Company Owes Bank
of Minnesota Nothing.
In the list published by the Clio b e,
Sunday, giving the larger debtors of
the Bank of Minnesota, an Injustice
was done the Martin Lumber company.
Through an error it appeared that the
Martin Lumber company" was In
debted to the bank in the sum of $500.
This is not the case, 1t being the Ma
rine Lumber company which owes the
bank this amount. A second mention
of the Marine company got in correct,
but in the schedule giving the list Of
debtors the error occurred.
Philip Reilly, the president of the
John Martin Lumber company, said
yesterday:
Our company has never had any
dealings with the Bank of Minnesota,
and has never been indebted to it. IN
view of the fact that several people
called my attention to the error that
appeared in the schedules of the bank,
as published in your paper, simply de-
sire to have the mistake corrected, as,
in times like these, a firm cannot afford
to allow any erroneous impressions of
this character to prevail"
The statement aalso showed that Rob-
ert A. Smith was Indebted to the bank
in the sum Of $50,520. The amount Is
correct according to the schedule of the
receivers, but the same also shows that
since the suspension Of the bank
Mr.. Smith has paid the receivers $35, 900,
which fact was not made apparent in
the publication of Sunday.

HURRAH FOR GREECE.

Hurrah for Greece!
Inglorious peace
Could never tempt her to dishOnor,
Nor tn powers might
Could her alright
When vengeance calfd upon her.
The cruel Turk
His bloody work
No longer may unchecked continue,
His victims cry
Has found reply
In Grecian muscle, bone and sinew.
Whilst nations great
Long held debate
Ger deeds of blood that cried to heaven
The Grecian brave
Came DER the wave,
In numbers scarcely one to seven.
But with purpose strong,
To right wrong
Which ought to shame all Christian nations
They come to fight
For human right,
And end these Turkish dissertations.
Hurrah for Greeksi then,
Those brave, manly men
True sons of Thermopylae's brave band
May freedom bess'd
Forever rest
And shine upon their native land.

A COMMANDMENT WITH R1rTrrR

When it was objected, in the consid-
Grafton Of some bill to direct the COM
mercial activities of the children of
Uncle Sam in safe channels under the
fond paternal guidance of their con-
SressionaI guardians-when it was sug
gested, we should say, that if we shut
imports out we would shut exports
in and thus impair our markets
abroad, the answer came crushinglv
back: What do we care for abroad? p"
But we do, and while the senate is
chewing Dingley's embodiment of in
difference to abroad" our new secre-
tary of agriculture is denying the faith
Of his school by taking extraordinary
measures to cultivate the taste of
abroad for the butter made in our
creameries. He finds that the all
| horred and detested Englishman. pau
perized as he is by his idiotic free
trade, is the greatest butter eater in
the world. The thirty-eight million of
him ate up over 1000, 900 pounds last
year, of which we supplied only a lit
tie over 100000 pounds. Little. insig-
nihcant Denmark sent John Bull over
137000,OOO pounds last year, and even
Australia, 1900 miles away. sent more
butter to England than we did
'Tama Jim" is said to have found
! all this out in conversation with a
Baltimore grain merchant, beside
whom he sat at banquet, and from
whom he learned that our corn was
going to Copenhagen to feed Danish
cows to make the milk that makes the
cream that gives the butter that goes
across the North sea 10 butter the
bread of English "paupers" This set
him to finding out the other things

SUGAR BEET BULLETIN.
The Experiment. Station Has just
Issued One.

A beet bulletin has just been issued
from the experiment station at st. An
thony Park, in response to the increas-
ed demand for information on the SUI
gar beet, coming from all parts of the
Northwest. The bulletin will be sent
to all the leading newspapers of the
state
Prof. Henry Snyder, in the first half
Of the bulletin, describes the work OF
the station in sugar beet raising since
1888, showing continuous work since
that date, from three to five acres Of
beets having been planted per year,
with a distribution of seeds to all parts
Of the state. There have been analyses
every year, Also and during these
years 1919 samples of beets have been
analysed at the station, showing an
average of 14.04 per cent of sugar and a.
purity coefficient of 8054
Beets raised in Minnesota and sent to
leading Nebraska factory showed an
analyzat1on at the factory 14.9 per cent
sugar, the average of seventy-three
samples. They were pronounced by the
factory manager most excellent in
every respect, both as to size and quai,
ity''
Prof. Snyder shows that a large part
or Minnesota has the ideal temperature
for beet-raising. There is a beet sugar
ZCne 200 miles wide, extending in an
irregular course across the United
States. The center Of this zone is the
1sotherm line indicating 20 degrees for
the three growing months of June, July
and August. The line enters the state
little below ST. Paul and leaves it
near the southwest corner of the state.
For 100 miles on either side of the line
heets may be proftably grown. He
describes in detail the best soil and
the ideal temperature. The soils Of
this state, he says, do not at present
require any manuring for sugar beets.
A soil that has been under cultivation
to grain crops is in better condition
for sugar beetS than new prairie soil
Prof. Snyder gives this emphatic state
ment: For beet-growing purposes the
state has as good soil as could be de-
sired"
The Importance of the beet pulp left
after the sweet is extracted, for feeding
purposes is also shown.
The second half of the bulletin is talk
en- up by Prof. Hays, agriculturist of
the station, in consideration of the
cultivation of the sugar beet in the
state. Prof. Hays gives some practical
suggestions

is THE LAW WITH DORIAN.
Concert Hall Proprietors May Appeal
to the Courts.


The action taken by Mayor Doran in
relation to the concert saloon question
appears to have stirred up both those
in favor of and those opposed to the
stand taken Committees from the
Citizens league called on the mayor
yesterday and complimented him ON
the stand taken in ordering the keep
ers of these resorts to not allow women
to take part in performances on the
stage. The orders directing that there
shall be no Sunday concerts was also
considered a step in the right direc-
ton. Seen yesterday the mayor said
he felt that his policy as to the con-
cert saloons would be popular. AS to
his acting in the matter without CIV
ing notice his honor said that had he
given any intimation as to what he
intended doing the city hall would
have been overrhn by those interested
on both sides, and a hearing would
only have delayed a final decision
The attorneys for the keepers of
these concert halls talk of taking the
matter into the courts on the ground
that the mayor has no right under the
charter or ordinances to issue any
such orders. 1t is claimed that if there
are Objectionable resorts they should
be proceeded against under the law,
but that neither the council, the police
nor the mayor has the right to issue
any such orders.

AT THE THEATERS.

The sale of seats is now progressing for
the coming engagement of the clever COM
edian, Nat c. Goodwin, who will appear at
the Metropolitan next Thursday evening for
an engagement of three nights and Sa.ur-
day matinee. Judging from the lively demand
for tickets the theater will be crowded to the
doors every night during this engagement
"An American Citizen" Mr.. Goodwin's new
play, will be the bill Thursday and Friday
nights and Saturday matinee. The press pro-
nounces IAN American Citizen the strong
est comedy the comedian has yet presented.
1t was written by Madeline Lucette Ryley,
cess, christopher Jr" 1t is an emotional
comedy, in which the story is well and skill
fully worked out. The staging Of the play
is said to excel all of Mr.. Goodwin's former
efforts. 1t is expected that the audiences will
be the most fashionable of the season. Ar
rangements have been made for quite a num-
Der Of theater parties. Saturday night Mr..
Goodwin will present THE Rivals for the
first time in this city.
The ideal play of American home life,
"Shore Acres" will be given fine scenic
production at the Metropolitan all of next
week, the author, James A. Herne, appearing
as Uncle Nat. No play presented in this
universal praise as ''Shore Acres" and it
promises to retain it's hold upon the public
for many years to come. The original Daily
theater production is guaranteed on this &C.
caS.on.
The summer vaudeville departure is destined
to meet with splendid success at the Grand.
The everyday matinee idea will undoubtedly
prove an attraction. In spite of the fact
Of its not being very we'll known yet,
quite a large feminine audience was in at
tendance yesterday afternoon. The various
specialties are going even better than they did
on Sunday night, every act being favored
with strong encore.
Fair theater goers should naturally take an
interest in one Of the plays to be presented
here this week, for the reason, If no other,
that it was written by a woman and that
it has been eminently successful. IAN Amer
lean Citizen" which Mr.. Nat c. Goodwin is to
give at the Metropolitan next Thursday, is
from the pen of Madeline Lucette Ryley who
some years ago deserted the stage to write for
it. She will be remembered by theater goers
in this city as a great favorite in comic
opera. Miss Ryley is also the author of
christopher Jr.," the successful comedy
which was produced by John Drew. But bril-
liant and c.ever christopher Jr.'' GER
tainly is, it has added not one-tenth as much
to the fame of the authoress as has her latest
work, AN American Citizen"
