Shortage of Oxygen.

Persons who happen to be incon-
venienced by dearth of anxieties are
invited to agitate their spirits by
contemplation of the prospect of a
shortage of oxygen in the atmos-
phere. 1t seems that there are well
informed persons, Lord Kelvin
among them, who find reason to be-
lieve that this calamity is impend-
ing. The figures (estimated) in the
case are that the world uses annual
ly 6, 500, 100000 tons Of oxygen for
breathing purposes and nearly half
as much for fires. This is big con-
sumption. To repair it we rely on
vegetation, which we are pretty con-
stantly restricting. So we use more
and more oxygen all the time and
make less and less.
No wonder Lord Kelvin says the
earth is undergoing "a steady loss
of oxygen" As yet, though, the at
mosphere does not show it, and it
may be few thousand years yet be-
fore the difference will be measur-
able. To the shortsighted the pros
pect may not seem distressing, but
folks who need anxieties should not
neglect this one, since, after all, in
anxieties and ancestry and such
things a little remoteness does no
harm.-Harper's Weekly.

War Preparations.

Preparations for the war
which is not to be fought have
made good progress this week.
Two gunboats were bought at
once from Brazil from the
iftymillion dollar appropria-
ton. Price not stated, but
supposed to be ample. Every
ordnance factory and powder
mill in the country is running
full time and the government
has contracted to buy $780,
600 worth of ammunition.
Provision is made for three,
maybe four, new ships, in the
naval appropriation bill and
stssse tie armor plate is raised to
$4OO ton without demur
where the government had
been standing out for a maxi
mum of $500. Delay cannot
be endured at such time for
considerations of price as the
patriotic armor plate manufac-
turers have been prompt to
point out. .s..
On the whole we may say
we have behaved very we'll.
The government has been dig
nified, patient, vigilant and
unmistakably determined to
make plenty of trouble if that
comes in the line of it's dlty.
The people, save for some
shouters, have been disposed
to wait till they knew before
they got excited. Of course,
there was never any question
of the national readiness to
fight if called upon; the fault
was more likely to be in un-
warranted belligerency. We
need never be afraid of being
found lacking in spirit: And
for the most part the nation
has been singularly calm and
self-contained in the face of
what many believe to be the
vest affront offered to- the flag
in a generation and on the
verge of a crisis involving per-
haps continental war.
That is an American spirit
of which we may be proud.
Bombast is cheap; Spain can
scream as loudly as a first-class
power. To keep silence until
one can speak advisedly and
then to speak with decision,
that is strength.

! Ostergren, w. G. Joerns. It is expected
that all societies and other organiza-
tions will elect vice president to the
| league. w. Buchanan is secretary of
the league and A. L. Ordean is treas
urer. The executive committee Of the
league is composed of L. M. WillcGts,
chairman; E. r. Cobb, T. w. Hugo,
Bishop McGolrick, DR.. Humason, j. B.
McLaren, John Owens.
Bishop McGolrick, who has taken
great interest in the movement has
pointed out in a public letter how much
we may dc for home manufacturers by
taking little pains. There is the soap
factory and the broom factory and half
dozen others that most of us never
think of asking for, which make just as
good wares as can be brought from
abroad. James F. Da cey, the boiler
maker, said he did not ask any faYors
but he did think he might have the
chance to bid on some of these contracts
that were sent out Of town. Others
have called attention to various open
ings for home trade which are now
neglected.
It is proposed to adopt label, and
prize of $40 has been offered for the
best design, with the motto, "It's made
here" Designs should be sent to the
secretary under a nom de plume, the
real name under seal.
This is an object which falls in read
lily with the plans of organized labor
and the unions and the assembly have
already done great deal to promote
sentiment in favor of home made goods.
The present movement is wider and
takes in more sorts of people than any
previously begun and promises good re-
suits. .a
The next meeting will be a joint ses-
sion OF the executive committee and the
vice presidents. 1t will be held March
28th at the Y. M. G. A. rooms at 8 p. m.

pregnably right. The laws are
to be enforced and the admin
istration is sworn to enforce
them. No man has the right
to say which laws he will de-
fend and which he will set
aside. It is plain dereliction
for the mayor and chief to wink
atthese evasions and violations.
These sayings cannot be dis
puted.
On the other hand the re-
formers are wrong. They
suppose Duluth wouldV be
more temperate if these laws
were enforced. They assume
that the public can be com
PEELED to be good, that correct
habits can be fostered by
statute.
A big part of the public de-
mands such laws and opposes
their enforcement, having
neither the courage to fight
the sentiment that procured
the law nor the faith to bear it's
enactment. They would be
shocked if it was proposed to
abolish these laws but they
squeal when it is proposed to
put them in effect. nl-. F..
A few have sand enough to
urge the mayor to violate his
oath. Fewer have conviction
enough to advocate the enforce
ment of existing law, good or
bad, and the repeal of impos~
sib1e and nnisconceived
statutes.
The result can easily be fore
seen. We shall shuttle about
as we have always done, with
spasmodic enforcement and
punishment but hab-
itual neglect of an inconvenient
law. y.

Belongs to the Children.

Attorney General Childs has
put in a claim with the inter
ior department for the school
lands in the recently opened
Red Lake reservation. It is
news to a great many that the
land office ever questioned the
right of the state to these
lands.
/ For forty years two square
miles in every township, sec
tions Is and SO, have belonged
to the state within which the
land lay for the school fund.
Our owp state has a fund from
this source amounting to ten
million dollars.
The Red Lake reservation, it
happens, was not government
land; it was not a reservation
in the usual sense, but land
that belonged to the Indians
by original title. The govern
ment acquired this land by
treaty with the Indian owners
and in 1889 congress passed a
law throwing part of the land
open to settlement. This law
says nothing about school
lands, and the interior depart
nent holds that there is no
authority for turning these
lands over to the state.
Senator Nelson who was
father of the bill says that he
never supposed such a ques-
ton would be raised, nor did
anybody in congress; it was
taken for granted that the
general rule would prevail and
that under the statute of 1857
the state was entitled to the
school sections in this land the
same as any other. -
There is a lot of technical
matter about Indian occupancy
and the title Of the state sub

"lT's MADE HERE"

"Made here" is to be the motto of the
Home Consumers league. Mutual
trade is it's purpose.
The league has been several weeks
organizing. It began with committees
from the city council, the chamber of
commerce, the jobbers' union, the West
Duluth and West End commercial
bodies. The executive committee has
named Judge Ensign for president and a
long list of presidents headed by

clubs and Industries. The following

ject to such occupancy, the
policy of the government and
the rules of construction.
Whatever the law may be
there is no doubt about the in
terest of the state and of the
general government. If the
lands should be retained as
government lands they would
simply be the prey of the lun-
bermen. The government
wouldn't get moiety of their
value, not enough to buy one
big gun to kill people with.
IF the usual rule is followed,
these lands belong to the chill
dren of the state for all time.
No one is poorer by their being
thus held except as robber is
poorer by all that he does not
steal. And the children have
a perpetual income measured
by the item that the lands in
question are already estimated
t. be worth a million dollars.
IF there is any doubt about
the legal aspects of the case
congress can set it at rest by
voting the land to the children
according to the original in
tent of the act.

An Old Puzzle.

An old, old puzzle confronts
the city administration. There
are laws which never have
been enforced, which the ma
iority do not want to have en-
forced. An iusistent minority
contend that they must be en-
forced. A potential body of
business men protest that en-
forcement would be disastrous.

would be suicidal.

was reached when he had
abandoned the storekeepins
idea and opened his colony in
England, undeterred by the
failure of the earlier comn1un-
ity of New Harmony in this
country on the banks of the
Wabash. There were count
less failures in between.
This Queenwood community
was the most ambitious of his
experiments. He had already
spent what he could spare of
his own fortune. His disciples
spent on this nearly $200,000 of
other peoples money. Be
yond that it got into debt, was
pressed by creditors, fell to
pieces. About that time Owen
died. Owenism died with him.
His life work had left not a
trace.
In 1914 a party of poor labor
ers met in Rochdale to devise
means of getting better sugar
and tea. They had no plan to
make society over. They asked
no help from their social SUI
periors. With incredible stint
ing they scraped up one pound
apiece. That was the begin
ming of successful co-opera-
stion. This alliance of a million
men, trading with themselves,
making things for themselves,
dividing the profits among
themselves, began with the
poverty-stricken Rochdale Pio-
neers, in their rude attempt
to help themselves. Spring
ing up thus humbly, as that
movement took shape, it in
herited the enthusiasm and
the training of Owenism. The
interest of the great had availed
nought. The lifelong de-.
votion of Owen came to
nought. The far-planned.
schemes failed. Only when
the poor reached out for them
selves to do the next thing,
they not only won the fruition
of their own endeavor. but they
entered upon the labor of those
who consecrated their lives to
noble failure. After all moth
ing is lost. .
