AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR

Among the queer things happening
in Washington in the topsy-turveying
now going on, we recently referred to
the case of Joseph Smith, of Urbana,
which is in the state of Ohio. whom
the president wished to appoint as di-
rector of the bureau of American re-
publics. This is one of our institutions
of which we only get reminders when
its incumbent figures in the sundry
civil service appropriation bill as the
recipient of that portion of his salary
of $4,000 a year which, under the Blaine
compact with sundry other American
republics, has to be borne by our treas
ury, and also when the mail brings the
occasional pamphlet published by the
director containing, in Spanish, French
and United States, the doings of the
lesser republics. 1t is only the men,
DRY of Blaine's dream of a Pan-Amer-
lea
Attention is again invited to Smith by
the Washington item that tells that the
parties to the compact have had I'M
der examination three candidates for
the dictatorship Of the bureau, and
that they have recommended to the
president for appointment, in the order

WHOM THE GODS HELP.

Mr. Louis Nash, in the controversy
he is carrying on with Progress in
our columns over department stores,
says: 81 maintain that human greed
and selfshness, if not limited by ma
ture in the interests of common hui
mainly should be limited by law" by
which, keeping in mind his illustration
of what is human greed and SELFISH
ness" it appears that he is engaged in
very serious quarrel; not with
Progress" nor with department stores,
but with the original fundamental
and immutable order Of all life on this
little planet. His petitions should be
addressed elsewhere than to the legis-
lature of Minnesota, and his structures
upon conditions to the dispenser of
them. Where the primeval plan Of
human progress seems to be defective
he would have it helped out by man.
made law. From the earliest dawn of
civilization the world has been produc-
ing many men like Mr. Nash, but. in
spite of their occasional efforts to
amend and improve the original plan
by human enactments, the old plan has
had its way, doing it's work quite salts
factorily and passing by the we'll
meant assistance Of mortals with a cool
disregard that must have been very
irritating to the amenders.
The trouble with Mr.. Nash, if he
really has any trouble, is his sentiment
alism, warmed by his sympathies, that
leads him to direct his observation
wholly to certain conditions, certain
traits of men and conditions arising
out of them, while remaining blind to
their correctives. The result is the
common one Of magnifying both the
traits and the conditions out of all due
proportion and, joined to a singularly
idealized conception of the efficacy of
statutory law, an invariable resort to
the state for relief. He does not take
into his view the whole width and
breadth of life, but takes a fragment
for the whole and calls the whole a
part" He ignores the tremendous in
fiuence of the law of compensation, that
works patiently and INCREASINGLY. and.
in the end, triumphantly. He ignores
the, eternal balance that comes from
the free play upon each other of the

NOW FOR "MINNEsoTA BUTTER

For years the wheat marts of the
world have known Minnesota wheat"
1t has established for itself ,eIuta-
ton wherever wheat is ground into
flour. The name proclaims the quality
and fixes the price. Reputation counts.
Men strive to get it for their products.
protect it with trade marks, and find
their extra profit in it. The time has
come to give to the products of Min
nesota dairies the same benefit. It is
the natural elimination of the growth
of that industry, which last year
reached the point where it could sweep
away from its older and established
rivals the award for supremacy in
quality
The industry is peculiarly susceptible
to the advantages of organization, as it
is also to the disadvantages of unor-
ganized and individual trade. The
creamery that consigns to dealers in
Eastern markets is an orphan there.
1t may meet honorable treatment, hut
1t is quite as apt to receive the re-
verse. 1t is, anyhow and always, under
the disadvantage of the man who seeks
the buyer and loses all that vantage
which comes when the buyer seeks the
seller. AS long as our state cream
cries are isolated, dealing independent
ly, they must hunt buyers; when they
unite and make a central state mar
ket where their products are sold, they
will have buyers hunting them. Elgin
has demonstrated for years the pc
cuniary benefit of the latter method,
as it has also shown the value of the
reputation it established.
1t would, therefore, be surprising if
the gentlemen who are moving for the
establishment of a dairy board of
trade in st. Paul should have received
anything but the warm responses to
their invitations to state dairymen to
attend the convention to be held here
next month for the purpose of making
here market for the dairy products
of the state. 1t indicates that our dairy
men appreciate the benefits that can
come from such action, and that there
is no need of the use of argument to
convince them. They know what was
wanted and have only awaited the mi
tial movement of organization. Such
board of trade, honest in its methods,
capable in its management and rigid
in the enforcement Of rules to protect
the good name of Minnesota butter.
will not be long in building up for it a
reputation that will equal that Of the
product of our wheat fields.

forces that move humanity to action.
Most of all he fails to comprehend how
greed limits greed, and self1shness de-
feats selfishness. Both form the inces-
sanity operating spur to all action. The
doctrine Of rewards and punishments
hereafter rests upon this basic motive
Impulses to charitable deeds flow from
refined selfishness. Love, in it's essence,
is selfishness. Indeed, is not selfish
ness the handspring of every move
ment Mr.. Nash so warmly espouses?
What is its object? To destroy competi-
ton. In what does it differ, except in
larger degree, from the very same mo-
tive he charges on the department
stores?
Sophocles put Darwin's law of the
survival of the fittest into poetic form
twenty three centuries ago when he
wrote that Heaven ne'er helps the
men who will not act" and Franklin,
Americas Solomon, made Poor Richard
speak the same immutable law when
he said: God helps them who help
themselves" We commend to Mr.. Nash
and his constituency the ancient adage,
and also the manner in which, under
like conditions, other men helped them
selves. Over in the Germanized city of
Sheboygan, on the shore of Lake Mich
igan, the placidity Of the retail mer-
chants was disturbed by the invasion
of the department store. 1t advertised
heavily and drew patronage CORE
spOndingly. The retailers were appall-
ed. They first fretted and fumed, and
then, in good German fashion, put
their heads together and studied the
problem of circumventing the enemy
The sole advantage of the adversary,
they found, was in larger purchases at
lower prices, enabling sales at reduced
nized, appointed a purchasing agent to
buy for all Of them, and began ad-
vertising their bargains Justify. They
stole the key to the situation and I'M
locked 1t. They could offer as enticing
bargains as their rival Their CUSTOM
ers came back to them, the rival Ian
guished. The gods helped them who
thus helped themselves The instance
should be instructive. 1t would be, but
for this fatalistic reliance on the su-
preme omniscience Of the state.

GEORGE sE1BERTs DEATH.
News Was a Shock to the Musicians
Friends. 20

The death Of George Sefberr was a
shock and surprise to the music-lov-
ing people of st. Paul as we'll as the
friends of Mr.. Seibert The late T.
M. Newson in his pen Pictures" of
prominent ST. Paul men, has this to
say of Mr. Seibert:
Mr.. Serbert is a man who has done
an enormous amount of labor in the
musical world. He has fought against
adverse circumstances and has con-
Quered. He is very quiet in his ways !;
rather retiring in his disposition, but is
always prompt in his musical career
and unceasing in his efforts to group
together and hold the many musical
elements at his. command. He has
brought up an excellent family of chill
dren. and is himself a man against
whom no evil word can be spoken; an
honest, honorable, worthy citizen; a
first-class musician, whose constant eff
fcrts have DONG much to advance the
musical tastes Of our citizens"
The funeral win take place from the
residence, SO Tilton street, at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
