NOT DINGLEY'S DOINGS

Our Republican friends are making a
great deal Of noise just now about the
wave Of prosperity, and they are still
more noisy when they come to claim the
credit for all this as an outcome of their
Dingley bill, whose primary purpose ap-
pears to rational beings to be to tax the
masses for the benefit of the trusts.
No sane man will deny that wheat at
$1.00 bushel is a benefit to the farmers
who raise it. No intelligent person will
set UP the contention that distress can
permanently settle over a country sc
rich in natural resources as ours.
But students of economic laws will al
ways look to natural rather than tc
artificial conditions as the true basis fol
prosperity and for the true reason fol-
its existence.

beg to commend the following intelligent
remarks Of this dyed-in- -the-wool Re,

made inquiry regarding the business
prospects throughout the western
states, and advices from Montana,
Washington, Oregon, California, Colo

cur in tho assertion that there is in
creased activity in all these states,
with evidence of the cumulative
good effect of the past four
years of economy and frugality in
living. Wells, Fargo & Co., whom 1
serve, is probably as we'll situated as
any business organization to take early
cognizance of the movements of COM

as throughout the American continent,

Value of the Business Mans Opinion

We congratulate the business man on
the betterment of prospects incident to
the approaching opening of the fall
trade. When his business is active the
whole people fare better. His trans
actions are the indications of the times.
He is not gambler or speculator, but
a legitimate dealer, who is the barometer
of the popular wants and the popular
ability to buy. We welcome his opin-
ion, even If it biased by his honest de-
sire for better times, rather than his
knowledge that they have come. We
rely upon him, rather than upon the
politician, for business information and
guidance.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Advertising Home Products

Manufacturers of Los Angeles are
striving just now to induce the residents
of Southern California to use home pro-
ducts, and investigation reveals the fact
that about all of these manufacturers
products are turned out in Los Angeles.
If the Los Angeles merchants want to
advertise their goods they should do 80
on the merits of the article, and not
try and fake" the necessary advertis
ing space from the newspapers. If these
goods are worth buying so is the adver-
tising space. Too many papers are being
caught by tn eselfish cry of patronizing
home industry. ry."-Colton Chronicle.

Crimes Not to Be Condoned

The trusts are criminal conspiracies in
their essence, in their conception and In
their methods of procedure. Even If
they reduced the price Of all the neces-
saries Of life, as they do not, it would
still be impolitic to condone their crimes
against morality and against the equal
Of all citizens. Price Is not to be
considered in competition with liberty.

Staccato va. sostenuto

Clement Scott, in his criticism of the
English Secret Service" company, makes
some interesting comparisons. He says that
the difference between the Americans and
the English is similar to that between
staccato and sostenuto. 1.-THE Americans
are sharp and concise he says. "and ex-
cellent in pantomimic art; the English are
deliberate, sustained and dogged," and he
adds, "they pause too long between the
sentences" He begs them to remember
that Secret Service is play of action
which should move like clockwork. Bella

The revival Of prosperity through khe

Have No Right to Complain

The vigorous kicking by Republican
papers because the Canadian govern
ment exacts a royalty from all gold
seekers alike, and likewise enforces its
tariff against American products sent
into the Klondike regions, comes with
very bad grace from the supporters of
the Dingley law, which put heavy duties
on Canadian lumber, cattle and all it's
products which seek market in this
country.-Grand Rapids Democrat.

The Vanity Of Amateurs

Amateur performances of great plays
have been common for charitable purposes,
and to feed the ambition and vanity for
those who appeared in them, says the Mir

summer season, however, recently took
place at Denver, where "As You Like IT,
was performed, many local society per-
sons sacrificing their dignity" as Dem
yer newspaper put it, to raise funds for

any sacrifice in this proceeding, Shakes

Prosperity is apt to beget optimism
and to fill the minds of men with buoy
ancy and hope. Adversely tends to the
production of pessimism and a morbid
mental condition. Excessive optimism
or pessimism so disables men that they
cannot give common sense considera-
ton to the causes which have produced
one or the other condition. In either
case they are liable to reason errone-
ously and to make mistakes in regard
to public measures. Contrasted with
what has been, we now have degree of
prosperity. What Is needed is investi-'
cation to discover the cause or causes
and to see whether through correction
of mistakes something cannot be done
to increase the good times and render
them permanent.

GRAM IS PROMINENT
In the Handsome Exhibit of the
Great Northern.

The Great Northern railroad has
handsome and characteristic exhibit,
including several unique features.
Prominent in the center is the seal of
Minnesota, in oil colors, and embel-
Iished by a frame composed of corn.
The state flower, the moccasin flower,
is worked out in grains and grasses
from a design made by Mrs. L. P.
Hunt, of Mankato. There are 500
specimens of grain and grasses from
Minnesota farms, and on one side is q
display of wheat fax, oats, barley and
grasses from the second state expert
mental station established at Crooks
ton two years ago. A mammoth bun
die of wheat, as it came from the
binder, represents ]. j. Hills farm at
Northcote. 1t weighs sixty pounds,
and, incidentally, it may be mentioned
that a similar bundle from the same

that of this year, another and a larger
building will have to be provided.
One of the largest. exhibitors on the
grounds is E. G. Roberts, of Fort At
kinson, Wis, who has 400 birds in the
building. Among these he has many
novelties. There is a coop of the Buff
Laced Polish variety, such as are sell
dom seen in Northwestern poultry
yards. Another coop contains some
fine Girded Silver Polish; third a pair
of Japanese bantams, as handsome as
any boy ever looked upon. Another
coop of Silver Spangled Hamburgs at
tracts good deal of attention. In an
other place is a pair of Partridge Co
chins, who are so strongly marked as
to attract attention anywhere.

fine exhibit, especially of Cochins of all
varieties. Mr.. Bean appears to make
a speciality of this breed, and he makes
a showing this year that would be hard
to duplicate anywhere. ~..1
st Paul exhibitors are numerous, and
they have several of the finest coops
on the grounds. -.

parts of the building, and there are
some beauties, both of the golden and
silver-laced varieties. w. H. Biddel,
of Lake City, yesterday afternoon had
about twenty fine Golden Wyandottes
smothered as they were being taken to

SIT. PAUL SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
An Interesting Corner of the Main
Building.

On entering the grounds, interest is
centered, of course, on the main build
ing. and that is completely filled, in
fact, crowded, with exhibits. The In
terror decorations are striking ana
handsome. and the steady stream OF
sight-seers contributed to the br1ll1an-
CIV of the Kaleidoscope scene.
Immediately on entering the visitor
finds himself in the section set apart
for the ST. Paul public schools, and this
exhibition of the actual work accom-
plished by the boys and girls OF ST
Paul is a revelation, from the cutting
and pasting of the kindergarten up
to the artistic creations OF the nlgh
school gradute. The map work, COLOR
ed, in outline and reproduced IN eleVa
ton. shows the aptness of the student
in geography as well as eleverness OF
execution. The composition work OF
the grades, some of it illumined with
clever pen sketches, and the art work
in water colors, pencil and crayon, OF
the students of the Central and Hum
boldt high schools, received Favorable
criticism from the admiring crowds.
This exhibit is in charge of Prof.
George Weitbrecht, principal OF the
Mechanic Arts high school.
Close beside this exhibit is the dis
NAV of work turned out by the stu
dents in the Mechanic Arts high
school. and includes samples of wood
turning and hand turning, mechanical
and free hand drawing, metal work
and articles of more substantial and
elaborate nature. There is an actual

6x12, and of ten horsepower. 1t was
