but, granting that the chief effect of
the laws is to keep down their number

resident sportsmen may kill big game, it
must be conceded that the laws do very
materially protect the game. Unrestrained
by law, many of these hunters would be in
the woods at all seasons Of the year, and
each would kill far more deer than is
now permitted. The great swamps
and rough and rocky regions in part of
northern Minnesota constitute splendid
natural game preserves, which will shell
ter deer and moose for years if the game
laws are fairly well enforced. These will
be more rigidly enforced with a growing
local sentiment in favor of protecting
game. Improvement of the laws from
time to time will, doubtless, add to their
efficacy. 1t is grave question whether
1t is strength or weakness of the new
law that it forbids the selling of the deer

After giving thanks for my miraculous

THE NEW CENTURY LECTURES

Two kinds of satisfaction may be de-
rived from a course of lectures. These
are the entertainment and instruction that
may be received, on the one hand, and the
opportunity they afford the public to come
into direct contact with the lecturers on
the other. The latter kind OF satisfaction
is directly proportionate to the eminence
and personal worth of the lecturers. An
ideal lecture course is one that looks to
the realization of both of these purposes.
Lectures in themselves valuable, delivered
by eminent aud talented persons, should
be the aim of such a course. Such, we
take it is the aim; certainly it promises
to be the performance Of the New Century
lectures.
There have been longer courses of lee
lures offered the Minneapolis public and
there have been many courses graced by
great names, but as a course, uniformly
strong and brilliant, and as one satisfying
the two requirements set forth in the
preceding paragraph it is not an exag-
geratiOn to say that the New Century
Lectures are the best Minneapolitans have
ever had an opportunity to patronize
a mere recital of the names of the
lecturers, men and women all known to
fame, is sufficient to indicate the richness
of the course. Ernest Seton Thompson.

THE ORE RATE DECISION

The railroad and warehouse commission
have divided upon the question of requir-
ing the iron range railroads to make pub
lie their. tariffs on the shipment of iron
ore from their mines to lake ports. Mr..
Staples and Mr.. Miller have united in an
order requiring the iron range roads to
file in the Office Of the commission, on or
before Dec. 3. a schedule of the iron ore
tariffs and charges for the transportation
of iron ore not interstate traffic from the
several stations and mines along their
lines of road to the docks on Lake Su-
perior at Two Harbors, and to keep such
schedule open for public inspection at
every depot and station on the line Of
their roads. The majority of the COM
mission, recognizing the limitations of the
commission as to inster-st commerce,
and the inability of the state to deal
with interstate commerce, have neverthe-
less, asserted the authority of the state
to supervise the tariffs and charges upon
purely state traffic.
Chairman Mills dissents upon the
ground that none Of this traffic is state
traffic; that it is all interstate commerce,
and therefore, beyond the control and SUI
pervision of the state and the commission.
Mr.. Mills position would deny absolutely
to the state the right to even test within
the courts the power to compel publicity
of tariffs by these roads, and concede to
them absolute immunity from state regu-
lation on all this iron ore traffic
The majority Of the commission, how
ever. without attempting to decide how
much, if any. of this traffic is state busi-
ness, applies the principle that the state
has the power to regulate so much of it
as may be state traffic, and issues the or
der requiring the roads to recognize the
authority of the state in this particular
Undoubtedly the authority of the COM
mission will be tested in the courts But
undoubtedly, the state has a right to have
this matter determined judicially since. it
affords the only escape open to the private
owner Of mining property against the ex-
actions of the iron ore monopoly owning
mines, railroads and steamship companies
and raises the only defense against the
power of the iron monopoly to so operate
its transportation facilities as to depress
the value Of private property, and. also.
the mining property belonging to the
state. The issue involved is one of great
Importance and the outcome is more sat
isfactory than It was feared ito might be-
And, further, it may be suggested that
IL 1t bo true, as the chairman of the COM
mission contends in his dissenting opin-
ion, that none of this traffic is state busi-
ness but all Of it interstate, and that none
OF 1t can be construed or handled as state
traffic and subject to state regulations the
railroads have spent great deal of time
and money and have employed vast deal
OF eminent legal talent for nothing They
do not ordinarily contend so vigorously
against mere shadows and ghosts. The
position taken by the majority of the
commission is at least the safe side for
the state to occupy at this time.

VERY MUCH ALIVE

The MINNEAPOLIS Commercial Club is a
very live organization. There was
abundant proof of this at the annual
meeting last night where 467 votes were
cast for directors and president
This splendid organization has arrived
at it's present influential and prosperous
condition through careful and efficient di-
rection, and it is gratifying to know that
the same policies which have produced
this result are TO be continued in the
future. While Mr.. Paris was fully COM
mitted to the prosecution of the public
work undertaken by the club, the i'm
preston was given out by some of his
most active supporters at the outset that
their purpose was to emphasize the social
side of the organization at the expense
of it's activities as AN organization deal
ing with public affairs. The club has been
so successful in its beginnings and is so
promising as a representative body stand
ing for the business interests of the city
that the apprehension lest this feature of
the clubs work might suffer if too radical
changes were made in the directly doubt
ing.
1t certainly was gratifying to find very
many of the most active and successful
business men of the city standing in line
and waiting for their chances to deposit
their ballots and express their views with
regard to the policy which the club shall
pursue in the future.
This initiates in no respect and in 40
degree against the social side Of the or
ganization. All the regular revenues of
the club are devoted to maintaining it as
a social organization. No money is ex-
pended on the public affairs except such
as is derived from other sources than
those relied upon to maintain the organi-
zation. Not only SO, but the organization
as a social body has unquestionably been
greatly strengthened and has been able
to provide for itself better accommoda-
tions by reason of it's activities in con-
nection with public affairs than it could
have hoped to enjoy maintained solely as
social organization. The wisdom of a
policy which has led the club up to its
present position as a representative. body
of business men has been amply justified
by the results. both within and without
the clubrooms.
