The republican press solemnly
asserts that within the past three
years the protective system and
republican principles and methods
have raised the price of steers, from
$3.50 to $50. Now if that is &C
taally SO what earthly excuse have
republicans to offer for not apply
ing these principles and methods
to wheat, and more than doubling
itsi price? According to the above
theory and solemn assertion, wheat
ought now to be worth Sl.33,
whereas it is only worth Sect
North Dakota is at the present
time more Interested il wheat
than in steers, and every true

Just BEFORE ELECTION.

The activity in congress regard
ing trusts coming in the wane of
President McKinley's term and
just q few months before the
presidential elections smacks of
insincerity. 1t has the appear
ance of being designed to tide the
question over until after election,
and not for the regulation and
control of the evil. An Indication
of this lies in the fact that the
legislation for the trust control
recommended by the house judici-
airy committee is glaring)y self
contradictory. It consists of an
amendment to the Sherman anti
trust law. The pretended pur-
pose is to increase the effect of
that law. A constitutional amend
ment is pr opposed comforting on
congress power to regulate trusts.
This proposal implies that such
power is wanting at present.
The committee has not tried to
explain the inconsistency of ask
ing for new power to regulate
trusts and declining to use plainly
existing powers. Its attention
was too much taken up in explain
ing why the tariff could not be
used AS trust regulator. The
reason the committee assigned for
not resorting to this short and
effective method of trust regulation
was that "the remedy would be
worse than the disease in striking
down protection III an expert
mental effort to destroy a monopo-
ly or repress a combination -
Trust regulation by means of the
tariff is not an experiment. Any
person who can reason from cause
to the effect can see how protection
has produced large numbers OF
the trusts. It does not require
great reasoning power to infer
that removing protection for such
trusts will end them. There is
not much danger that this ante
election activity will fool the
people who have been clamoring
for relief for two years. Especi-
ally will this guile prove ineffec.
tive when on the same side with ii
is ranged every element against
which it pretends to operate.

AS TO the crop result, the people
are indulging in comparisons with
past seasons. It is recalled that
in the 1889-90 crop no rain fell all
the spring, and there was great
encouragement. June proved to
be a wet month, however, and
good yields followed in the fall.
The fact that the country is in a
drought is not final, therefore, for
the rains may come in June.

WENDELL LIGHT FINE
STATE INSURANCE
OFFICIALS
ALLOWED TO PLEAD GUILTY
Whereupon Fine of Only $40 Was
Imposed for Refusing to Give
Information to Au-
thOrit1es.

Insurance Commissioner O'Shaughnessy
received word yesterday afternoon that
Fred H Wendell, auditor of the Amer
lean Friendly association, had pleaded
guilty to an Indictment charging him
with refusing to answer questions pro-
pounded by the insurance commissioner
to him as accounting officer of the COM
pany. The Hennepin county court i'm
posed a fine of so. The business of the
association was recently submitted to
very searching examination by the insur-
ance commissioner.
Mr.. Wendell was called into room in
Minneapolis where the examination was
being conducted and point blank refused,
in the presence of a half dozen people,
TO explain anything which did not appear
clear on the books, in cases where ques-
tionabIe entries had been made by him.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy made complaint to
the grand jury, and yesterday an indict-
ment was returned.
Public officials who conducted and as
sisted in the examination believe that the
Minneapolis county attorneys office at
least exhibited an amazing Indifference re-
garding the matter. The fact that Wen
dell was allowed to plead guilty and es-
cape with fine of 80. when a large
amount of money is involved, represent
ing the interests Of hundreds of policy
holders who live in the Twin Cities, is
regarded as very peculiar.

RELIGION IN SCHOOLS
GOV. LIND DECLARES 1T SHOULD
BE TAUGHT IN EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Proceedings at the Annual Session
of Sunday School Teachers
Now Meeting in
This City.

Gov. Lind addressed last nights session
of the Minnesota Sunday School associa-
ton at the Central Presbyterian church.
The church was well filled, and the gov
ernors brief address was warmly ap-
plauded.
This state" the speaker said, rs ex-
pending great deal of money on secular
education. Minnesota has over 10000 sec
ular schools, and the people take just
pride in the many institutions Of learn
ing that are every year turning out we'll
informed and well-developed men and
women. But we are too delicate concern
ing the subject of religion in our schools.
The governor suggested that perhaps
one reason why the subject Of religion
was avoided in the schools was because
people confounded religion with theology.
He would not, he said advocate the study
of theology in secular schools, but it was
a necessity that religion should be taught
By religion was meant he said, that in
stinctive reverence for the great problems
that confront humanity, a reverence
which only needs training to bring out.
The governor expressed his qualification
at being able to address so representative
a body Of teachers, and extended to them
warm welcome on behalf of the people
of St Paul.
c. D. Meigs, of Indiana, also spoke last
evening, his subject being, why Am 1
in Sunday School Work?'
The morning session opened with con-
ference Of the county officers. Reports
from thirty-seVen counties were read.
Marion Lawrence led a conference in the
Auditorium on General Sunday School
Ion
eral discussion The conference in the
lecture room on Primary and Junior
Work" was led by c. D. Meigs.
The afternoon session was largely taken
up with reports The report Of the presi-
dent Lowell e. Jepson, Of Minneapolis
emphasized the need of so educating the
people in regard to the scope of Sunday
school work that business men would look
at it from a business mans standpoint.
Mr.. Jepson recommended the employment
of a field secretary.
w. B. Glow read the treasurer's report
for the year. The total receipts, includ-
ing balance received from former treas
urer, were $66969, expenditures, $6e913
leaving a balance on hand of Sc cents. A
collection taken up yesterday afternoon
will add to this balance for Sunday school
work $746.5O.
The report of Mrs J. E. Hobart, secre-
tary, showed that there were 725 Sunday
schools in the state, 1910 teachers and
ICE, $40 pupils. There were 200 new schools
organized during the past year.

meetings to be held in the Twin Cities and

her enthusiasm for her work never fails
to carry her audience with her In a re-
cent address at Milwaukee, delivered in
the Plymouth Congregational church. un-
der the auspices Of the w c. T. u, the
lecturer made a most convincing plea for
the harmonious union of all temperance
forces in their battle with the common
enemy. Mrs. Lake has travelled from
Maine to the Dakotas, speaking for vari-
Gus denominations and organizations. She
addressed the international convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union, held in Toronto, and her convincing
eloquence was most hatteringly comment
ed upon.
The Sacred Thirst society held O busi-
ness meeting in Cretin hall last night to
lectures to be given by Mrs. Leonora M
Lake. A short programme was given fol-
lowing the business meeting. Miss Kath-
crime Shea contributed piano solos, Miss
