to create commission to inquire into the
Feasibility and desirabiIity Of esta b tsh
Ing a national park within. the limits of
this state will give great announcements
TO the friends of the measure, as VIC as
to those citizens throughout the country
who are actively concerned In the m we
ment for the preservation of our timber
reserve.
The passage Of the measure by the sem
ate affords pretty strong assurance that
the bill will pass the house speedily, and
that before congress adjourns a comp,-
tent body will be In existence, charged
with the duty Of laying the foundation of
the great movement in which this meas
ure may be said to be The initial step.

THE OTHER POPULIST NOMJN ATTON
The acton of the Populist convention
at Sioux Falls In nominating Mr.. Towne
for vice president shows at least that the
BODY regards itself as representing q dis
tinct political Organization. 1t is some
thing of a political phenomenon that a
convention claiming to represent a given
party. and only that party, and evident
ly determined that there should be no
doubt left in the public mind of its in
dependent character in that behalf,
should feel at liberty to go outside its
own ranks for both its presidential and
vice presidential candidates. But 1t has
done SO, and has evidently done it with
view to impressing on the country It's
claims to embody the demands of an
Independent entity, existing in the politi
cal world on its own inherent merits,
rather than as an appendage of some
other political organization.
Doubtless it is seriously regarded as
one of the possibilities of political life
that the Democratic party of the nation
may choose to adopt and ratify the ac
ton of the Populist convention at Sioux
Falls. But those who regard such a
course as consistent with the self-respect
of a great historical party. subsisting as
leading force in the policy of the ma
ton since the foundations of our political
institutions were laid, must be regarded
as having but a very restricted under
standing of what the followers of Thomas
jefferson believe to be due to the princi-
pies which he enunciated.
The dual Populist organization. so far
as it can be said to represent outside of
the South, or even in the South, since
the last congressional elections. any re-
sponsible body of political society what
ever is ne doubt entitled to have its ac-
ton al Sioux Falls, as well as at Gin
cinnati, taken seriously by the country.
But there are few capable judges of po-
litIcal events or conditions, outside of the
two groups of men who ordered events
in Cincinnati and Sioux Falls alike, who
believe that Pcpulism in the form of
party organization has any but a nom
inaI existence.
The truth is that the Populist party ex-
lists on paper, ard on paper alone. Every
attempt which has been made here and
elsewhere TO demonstrate the existence

little more than the outcome of political
maneuvering, in one direction or osher,
and has been operative for little other
purpose than to supply places to more or
less needy politicians. No scientific eff
fort has been put forward in this state
or elsewhere in the needed direction save
what has been done with reference to the
Adirondacks.
A serious beginning Is the great need
of the movement. This measure, when 1t
is enacted into law, will furnish the be-
ginning. From 1t will spring the great
movement which in the future Will pace
us on something of the same plane as the
old countries In the thorough efforts made
and maintained for genera tons to protect
ton wrought alike by commercial greed
and the forest fires which from time to
time sweep over our most valuab timber
possessions.
The people of Minnesota have a special
interest in seeing national park es alb
Iished within the limits Of the state, and
a favorable report from the commission
which will be appointed will produce
much qualification among our people. On
the score Of state pride. as we'll as on
the consideration that the state, as
great timber-producing section, viii be
greatly benefited by the proposed park,
the popular satisfaction will be great.
But 1t is in no sense an eXaggeration to
say that the people of Minnesota will CO.
rive quite as much qualification from the
knowledge that they have been indirectly
at least the agents of giving impetus to
a much-needed national forestry policy.
The action Of the senate on Thursday
cannot fail to evoke expressions of gen
eral approval throughout the country.

DEMAND FOR OUR BUTTER
1T BRINGS TOP PRICES IN EAST
EIN MARKETS.

'Minnesota's creamery product this
year will exceed by IL very great degree
that of any previous season." said AS
sistant Dairy Commissioner White yes
terday. Mr.. White is constantly travel
ing over the state, keeps in touch with
creamery men and buttermakers and Is
regarded as authority on all dairy mat
tiers. Continuing. he said:
"At present we have In operation mora
creameries than ever before In the his
tory of the state. Many new ones have
been built and large number that have
been idle for several years have been
put in operation with the opening of the
grass season.
THE demand for Minnesota butter has
been constantly increasing in the East
and our product Is eagerly bought up
by Eastern buyers who come West about
May 1. We more than supply our own
demand here in Minnesota, and in the
East Minnesota butter takes first rank
and is in corresponding general demand.
This is especially true Of the better
trade. The market at present Is about
20 cents and to ship on a market at that
figure puts our product in the hands Of
the better trade. In other words, when
Minnesota butter Is put in the Eastern
market is brings the top price.
Grass has been quite early this year
and the 600 old creameries in Minnesota
are churnfng out the finest product of
the cows milk that 1t is possible to
make. Our Cooperative Creamery as
sociations have never been in a more
prosperous condition. Indeed, organiza-
tons that have in the past found it
hard shedding and In many cases sus-
pended operations are now offered more
milk than they need
"As yet we have imported very little
butter Last year the department of
agriculture made some experiments, ship
ping butter direct from Albert Lea to
England, but as there is ample demand
for all our product so far at fancy
prices there i5 nothing to be gained by
sending 1t across the water. English
men like their butter without salt, and
this fact makes it difficult to ship 1t
satisfactorily so great a distance"

the colonies, presided this evening at the
annual meeting of the grand committee
of the Liberal Unionists Of Birmingham.
the occasion being his first appearance
here since the outbreak Of the war. The
meeting was held in the Birmingham
town hall, both approaches to which
were thronged. An immense audience
greeted Mr.. Chamberlain, who was &C
companied by his sons. Resolutions OF
sympathy with Mr.. and Mrs. Chamber
lain In their recent bereavement. the
death Of Mr.. EndlcOtt. were adopted. and.
in expressing his thanks, Mr.. Chamber
lain said:
Il am deeply touched by this express
sion of your sense Of the loss which my
wife has lately sustained. This is the
first time she has been absent since our
marriage from any of these great meet
ings, and 1 know that 1t IS O sorrow to
her to be absent tonight.
ut would have been cOngenial to me
to avoid all public appearance at this
time, but MIR. Endicott was perhaps more
than any other man I ever knew imbued
with the sense that all private feeling
should give way TO public duty"
Proceeding then to discuss public at
fairs, Mr.. Chamberlain observed:
THE peace-at-any-price does no
harm at home, but 1t does much abroad.
It's members must accept the RESPONSE
bility for numerous attacks upon va
rious statesmen by persons who are al
ways willing to think i'll of England.
"Our minds, however are not inter
ested just now in domestic matters We
are in the midst Of a great war. our ulti.
mate success in which I never for a mo-
ment doubted, and a war which under
Lord Roberts skillful guidance seems al
most within measurable distance Of q
satisfactory conclusion. When on
previous occasion I said the sands were
running out, II was only plain language
and was meant to be plain language. IL

that I am responsible for the war or 10

up as it's ideal the reduction Of the Brit
ish race, which forms majority OF It's

people.

L0CHREN'S DECISION
Fell as ThunderbOlt TO the Puerto
Rican Combine.

Rican Combine.
Washington Times
The decision by United States court
that the constitution extended to Puerto
Rico with the flag, and that congress
has no right to legislate for territory
not covered by the constitution. Is ter
rife blow to the trusts and the admins
tration they control The probable eff
feet upon the campaign is worrying the
leaders of the combination greatly. If
the administration continues to prevent
test cases from reaching the supreme
court until after it's adjournment In
June, the country will note the fact and
assume, what is a notorious fact, that
Mr.. Mckinley and his advisers know that
the highest tribunal in the land will de-
eide exactly as the federal court in Min
nesOta has.
This state of. things badly rattles the
Republican machine plan to have the
Philadelphia platform declare uneQuivo-
cally that the constitution does not go
with the flag. 1t will not do for the
platform makers to fall back upon the
argument that congress knows more
about the constitution than a United
States Judge It's acts have been too fire.
quently declared unconstitutional and
erased from the statutes for that. So a
very neat and effective dilemma is pre-
scented. The Minnesota decision will
stand unless tits reversed. There is not
the ghost Of d chance that it will be.
On the other hand, it is certain to be af-
firmed. If the administration allows the
supreme court an opportunity to speak,
away goes the Puerto Rican infanfy, and
the unconstitutional tax on domestic
trade, and overheard go the monopolies
of the oil, sugar, tobacco and rum trusts.
as far as Puerto Rico and other Amert-
can Islands are concerned
Then the Hanna, Mckinley and trust
combination would have a sorry time of
it to defend their course before the peo-
pie. They realize the oppressive fact
and tremble in their boots. 1t may be
assumed with the utmost confidence that
the president is very sorry by this
time that he did not stick to the plain
duty" ideas Of last December which he
derived from the first Magoon opinion
That opinion. 1t Is interesting to note,
agreed in every essential particular with
the recent decision Of the federal court.

pUBLICITY AS A REMEDY.


OF all the measures for the regulation
and control of trusts no one has received
SO general an expression Of approval and
acceptance as that which provides for
the greatest possible publicity Of the af-
fairs of such organizations.
Publicity is the great regulative force
Of our country and time. No evil can
survive in our political life which is sub
ject to the public examination and dis
position. When the principle Of publicity
was introduced into the management of
our large carrying corporations the most
serious of the many evils which had
exist Give the public an opportunity
to famiiarize themselves with the details
Of transactions which affect the common
veal. and II the evils which grow out of
remedied thereby. the people soon find an
effective remedy.
Many utterly valueless, and not few
positively absurd. propositions are being
advanced In the search Of the effective
means Of disposing OF the evils of the
trust system. But out CT the great mass
Of such more or less fantastic schemes
there present themselves one or two ac-
ceptable principles. OF these the leading
one Is the demand for full and unreserv-
ed publicity. Every corporate organiza-
ton engaged in public or quasi public
business is called upon to file its annual
report. This principle should be extended
to all corporations engaged in commercial
pursuits.
be applied to the trust evil. 1t is the one
which the trust promoters are most afraid
Of Already they are protesting against
It's adoption. They say that it will give
and that the public have not per Sc any
right to know the details Of the private
business of the citizen. This is equivalent
to what the lawyers call a plea in con-
fession and avoidance. From time to
time we read in the advertising columns
CT the daily papers extended and detailed
accounts of the business operations and
financial position of large commercial
corporations They are published with
view to influencing the favorable opinion
of the public. II there were anything to
conceal they would not be published. Ma
tional banks, insurance companies and
like organizations find it DESTROYS. from
time to time, to publish such statements.
Their readiness to do SO Increases the
public confidence and removes any mis-
giving which might exist as to the actual
conditions attending the administration of
their affairs.
The same principle can be made to ap-
ply to the trusts without INJECTING any
wrong upon any interest concerned in
them. The only difference which Is to be
observed in this regard is that all the
published statements required by law
from trust organizations must, in order
to be of any avail at all to the public,
carry with them all the responsibilities
Of sworn statements If the rule requir-
made of general application to the trusts
and could be honestly enforced, a long
step would be made In the direction of
their public control
