They must represent the people-per-
haps the vice, perhaps the virtue, per-
haps the indifference of the people.
This does not in the least excuse politi.
clans who are bad, and we must keep in
mind the fact that every vicious politi-
clan, above all, every successful vicious
politician, tends to debauch public con-
science, to render bad men holder and
decent men who are not far sighted
more cynically Indifferent than ever.
But in blaming the politician do not for
get that we are ourselves to blame for
permitting his existence. Again, do
not fall into the mistake of thinking
that we shall ever make politics better
by Mysteries in any shape or form. 1t
is shame to US as a nation that we
should have tolerated in city like New
York an administration against which
it is necessary to war, not only on
grounds of political expediency, but on
grounds of elementary morality.
This is a matter which applies locally
to every citizen and should awake him
to the responsibility which rests upon
him in public matters.

Among the glaciers found in the
Rocky mountains and recently describ-
ed by James P. Kimball, is grasshopper
glacier. which derives its name from
the enormous quantity of grasshopper
remains that are found on and in the
glacier. Periodically the grasshoppers
that thrive in the prairie to the north
take their flight southwark and must
needs cross the mountains. Their IA
vorite route seems to be across the wide
glacier, and in the passage scores of
thousands of them succumb to the rigor
of cold and wind, fall helpless upon the
snow and are finally entombed in the
ice In the course of time billions of
them have been the victims of this
glacier. They are, of course, carried by
the ice river down into the valley and
deposited at the melting edge of the ice,
and Mr. Kimball says that thousands of
tons of grasshopper remains are the
principal material at the edge of the
glacier.

A New York woman says the Duluth
Herald, who is making study of flowers
and their effects upon different tempera-
ments claims that yellow blossoms af-
ford protection from disease germs, that
daisies worn by nervous women will
benefit them and that violets act as an
intoxicant or stimulant upon some
people. She says that flowers have an
important influence upon the nerves
and advises people to try and discover
the flowers most beneficial to their con-
situations In most cases it is said that
ones constitutional flower can be in
stinctively determined. But of course
there will be some cyn1cs who will sheer
at the idea and say it is only an attempt
to start another fad. And they may
be right.

MINNESOTA AND ITS FINANCES.

The ST. Paul Dispatch in reviewing
the latest report of the state treasurer
says:
By the showing made in the latest re-
port of the state treasurer the finances
of Minnesota are in a fourishing condi-
ton, and the educational interests of
the state are amply protected and pro-
vided for According to this report the
total indebtedness of the state is ST.
$40, coo, but of this amount. the perma
nent school fund and the permanent
university fund hold S41S, 900, leaving a
net actual debt of only 1881, 900. On
the other side of the ledger there is
credit of $12 354, ops 04 to the perma-
nent school fund, besides balance in
the treasury of So, O67, 115 81 and ST, 3O7,-
40 to the credit of the university
fund. This gives total of $15,72S 800
to the credit of the state and its educa-
tional institutions, as against total in
debtedness of 81, $40 900. leaving net
balance in favor of the state of $14,-
379, 800.
This statement, it must be borne in
mind, does not include the vast hold
ings of state school lands, unsold and
undeveloped, and it is certainly safe to
say that these lands will in time in
crease the permanent school and uni
versity fund to $25, 900, 900, which will
be perpetual funded endowment for
the educational institutions of the state.
This statement is magnificent
tribute to the honesty and fidelity of
the party which for forty years has
administered the affairs of the state and
nursed its assets, 1t is, too, complete
answer to the demagogues who have
biennially demanded "a change" and
declared that the interests of the state
had not been served by the Republican
party and the officials whom it had
elected.
But it is better than all this. 1t is an
advertisement to all the world that
Minnesota is rich state-rich not only
IN money, but rich in natural resources,
for no such vast reserve could ever have
been laid up without first capital OF
natural wealth. 1t will place Mime
sofa at the head of the list of states
which make the education Of the young
the chief interest of the old, and it will
bring to the state the most desirable
class of population-the class that holds
education as the first essential of good
citizenship.

Down at Omaha the board Of educa-
ton by an unanimous vote has passed a
resolution providing that teachers and
principals having served successfully
for five successive years in the city
schools shall be placed upon a perma.
nent list, from which they shall only
be removed for cause, and upon due
hearing. This places the Omaha schools
upon a progressive basis, takes the
teachers out of the hands of the politi.
clans and rewards merit.

SOME MARKET CONDITIONS.

In his review of the trade situation
for the past week, Henry Clews among
other things says:
The most substantial feature In the
stock market is the railroad depart
ment. These securities have been tried;
their earning capacity is beyond the ex-
perimental stage; land present prosperity,
especially of those running through the
grain and manufacturing districts,
promises continual large earnings for
some time to come. There is one ele
ment of caution in the market and that
is money. Firm rates seem probable, a
result of good times, not fear or adver-
sity. Lenders are looking forward to a
6 per cent market. The probabilities
of squeeze are not seriously discussed;
but they are sufficiently possible to act
as wholesome restraint upon specu-
lation. A drop in exchange exerted a
favorable effect here; and the prospect
of continued large exports of grain,
produce and manufactures induces the
belief that gold imports will not be long
delayed, Notwithstanding European OPP
position. Last year Europe sent us
securities instead of gold; but the for
eign supply of the former has been so
reduced that we are likely to draw the
precious metal when wanted. Gold is
now arriving from the Klondike and
Australia, to say nothing of increasing
home production, Except for the money
outlook the situation faYors high prices.
Powerful interests are supporting the
market, excepting renewed outside sup
port in due season. Later on the course
of affairs will be much more interesting
than at this writing.

1t seems probable that the smelter
strike in Colorado will soon be peace
ably and satisfactorily adjusted. The
state board of arbitration has been in
vestigating and it finds that, while the
eight hour law has been declared uncon-
stitutional, the nature of the work in
the shelters is such that the health of
the inside laborers at the smelters de-
mand an eight hour instead of twelve
hour shifts. On the question of wages
the board splits the difference between
the demand of the miners and the offer
of the employers. Under the twelve
hour system the furnace men received
So per day. They demanded So 40 for
the eight hour day The employers Of
fered 49, The board recommends the
fixing of the wages at $3.50 per day.
The strike has been remarkable one
in that there has been no violence ex
hibfted from the first. and the en-
ployers and employees have been anxious
to arrive at an understanding.

THE BIRTH RATE OF EUROPE.

Director Badio, of the statistical
bureau, of Italy, has been gathering
figures regarding the birth rate in the
countries of Europe which show that
the rate is diminishing there consider
ably. and that England and Scotland
are more affected by this decrease than
any of the other nations. The decline
there has been most marked during the
past quarter of century The cause
given for this decrease of births are the
decrease in the number of marriages,
heincreasing practice of deferringmar-
riages and their diminished fertility.
Basing his figures upon the statistics
of long series of years he gives the
mean annual rate of decrease in Eng
land or Scotland as nearly third of
one per cent, or O.306 per cent; in Scot
land 0267; in The Netherlands and
Germany, each 244; in Belgium, 0. 239;
in Greece, O209; in France, O. 179; and
on account of the low rate of births the
population of France increases more
slowly than that of most civilized coun-
tries; in Russia. 0.15S; in Sweden, 147;
in Switzerland, @ 1913; in Denmark,
O.O78; in Austria, 0 076; in Roumania,
O.033, and in Hungary, 0.024. In sew
aeral countries the rate of growth of
population is increasing the mean an
nual increase in the birth rate in Portu-
gal being 0.475, or nearly half Of one
per cent; in Italy, 0 083; in Spain, 0. O4O,
and in Norway. 0.012.
However, there is no immediate
danger as the population still continues
to increase though at a gradually de-
creasing rate.
