SOFT SNAPS.

Recruiting for the rank and file of the
enlarged army is fairly active but the rush
for the commissioned places is simply
enormous. 1t is said that one senator re-

The above has great significance con-
corning the situation in the Philippines.
1t is worthy of mention that a pri-
vate soldier sent to the Philippines is
mighty uncertain when he will ever
again see his native land. 1t matters
very little whether he enlists for a
stipulated time or otherwise. He Is
quite certain to remain in the service
during the pleasure of the ruling power
III this country. Military service as
private soldier means obedience to
superiors with no questions.
On the other hand the commissioned
officer takes a pleasure or junketing
trip to the Philippines and when he
gets his first smell of gun powder. if he
doesn't like the odor, he simply resigns
his commission as Bryan did when or
dered to Cuba and comes home. The
rank of the private soldier means dan

pay. The rank of the commissioned
officer is fat snap. E. At

and developed the road into the Great
Northern Transcontinental system. 1t
doesn't tell US whether Mr.. Hill per-
sonally developed this road or whether
he did 1t by proxy. In deciding between
the merits Of Doctor Herron's and the
Tribune's philosophy we apprehend that
many of our readers would want to
know more about this proxy business.
Probably no one would deny that Mr..
Hill was prominently identified with the
development of the Great Northern. But
how about the creation of the value that
is in the road? How about the proxy
business? Suppose the farmers gave
Mr. Hill his right-of-way from here to
Fargo and all the large towns along the
line gave him depot grounds and
bonuses, suppose further that Mr.. Hill
hires a gang Of labOrers to grade his
road-bed and lay his tracks, bridges,
etc, while he himself sits on the fence
and bosses the gang, or better still, he
hires a proxy boss while he goes to
New York or London to stock and bond
his road for three times it's cost, in
Guiding the value of terminals and
right-of-way at fair cash valuation.
Under such circumstances who de-
veloped the Great Northern system, Mr.
Hill or his gang Of laborers? Who
created and put value where formerly
we're two streaks of rust? Who did the
labor to produce wealth and who got
the wealth? How now about the proxy
business? Carnegie developed the great

others. He did the developing but the
other fellows did the work. He was
the captain of industry, the 1000 en-

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.

There are some disagreeable features
about life in fiat or apartment houses. but
on the whole they are growing in popu-
larity, as is indicated by the steady null
duplication of such structures, and the fact
that all the really desirable ones are easily
rented. The economy, the actual comfort
and in this climate the relief from the
necessity of looking after stove or furnace
fires are regarded by many as abundant
compensation for the disadvantages.
In Chicago a movement has recently been
started by a group of public spirited wom-
en- to provide apartments for people of very
moderate means at such a cost as will
enable them to live comfortably. In devel
oping the idea at a meeting of the "Arche"
club, Mrs. Lydia Avery Coonley Ward said
a new basis of management was needed for
the accommodation of small families; that
it would be possible for many such families
who are now compelled to live in boarding
houses to have homes If q large apart
ment building could be constructed with
one kitchen for common use Her idea is
to have the meals cooked in the apart
ment set aside for and devoted to domestic
service and served in the homes. Servants
for all the work would be kept in this de-
partment. leaving the occupants OF the vari-
Gus apartments free>to dispense with pri-

AMONG THE FIRST CUT.

During the past two weeks the Ham,
ilton-Day murder trial has filled whole
pa ges of valuable newspaper space in
the Minneapolis dailies. AS is always
the case at such trials there was much
contradictory evidence introduced in
court. Out of all the great mass OF
testimony that has cost Hennepin coun-
ty enormously one fact alone and con-
spicuous above all others seems to hav.
been proven beyond the possibility of
any doubt The murder was the out
come of a drunken brawl on Sunday
morning in Minneapolis most aristO-
cratic hotel, the West, participated in
by several of the first cut of Mime
mind us Of an anecdOte we once heard
told by temperance orator: The son
of a New England millionaire had be-
come infatuated with the youth, beauty
a man in moderate circumstances who
owned and operated small sawmill.
The young people became engaged. The
young man mentioned the engagement
to his father His father was angry
threatened to disinherit his son and Sc
verely reprimanded him. reminding him
OF the different social standing of the
two families, of his own great wealth
and of the girls poverty, closing with
the expressions: MY son, but for this
folly you might marry one of the first
cut"
AS is usual in such case the boy
married the sawyer's daughter, left
home and hired out to run the saw in
his father-in-laws mill. Some weeks
passed when the young mans father,
relenting somewhat sought his son out
al the mill.
The meeting was cordial. The son in
vited his father into the mill to see the
working of the machinery, rolled
fresh log onto the log carrier, set it in
position to saw from one side slab,
started the machinery in motion and as
the saw cut its way through the log
and dropped the slab the boy turned to
his father with the remark: Father.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF RICHES.

In a recent address in Chicago, Prof. Geo.
d. Heron displayed small comprehension Of
true economic principles when he said That
mo man becomes rich individually without
somewhere making some one poor.
This is true if man makes his money
In mere speculation or gambling; but 1t is
not true if a man makes his money by de-
veloping Industries and calling new values
into being Take man like Jas. J. Hill,
for instance who took a railroad In Min
nesota which was worth not more than a
few thousand dollars, and has gradually
developed it into the Great Northern sys-
tenn worth hundreds Of millions. There has
been an absolute increase of property. and
in this increase Mr.. Hill has shared but
others have shared it with him, and thou
sands of men richer for the creation OF
this great transcontinental line. Moreover,
thousands of workers., employees of all
grades receive steady employment at wages
which make them better off than they
would have been without such employment
and which employment has been actually
created by the development of the road
The same may be said Of Andrew Car
negies development of great iron industry.
Carnegie has created business which en-
poys tens of thousands; he has added enor-
mously to the worlds wealth while at the
same time increasing his own. So Of other
great captains Of industry.
When the aggregate wealth OF the United
States is estimated 1t will be found to con-
sist largely of values that have been alb
solutely created by industry The land was
contributed by nature. but it's value has
been enhanced by culture and improve
ments. On the land have been erected the
great mills and factories, the railroads, the
nnumerable buildings; mines have been
opened and the treasures Of the lower depths
brought to the surface. Does Prof. Her
ron mean to say that a man who grows
rich by making two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before robs anybody
else by so doing? He cannot say with any
more truth that man who gets rich by
creating a new enterprise. opening a
mine or building a railroad where no rail-
road ran before. or launching ships upon
the sea where no ships sailed before, robs
anybody by so doing.
The view taken by Prof Heron is one
too apt TO be taken by the disconnected and
the unthinking. We are not discussing the
ethics Of great wealth. We simply say
that the man who gets rich by creating new
values does not make anybody else poor by
so doing: the contrary. he helps to
make many others better off.-Minneapolis
Tribune.
From the foregoing editorial taken
from the Minneapolis Tribune it is
very evident the Tribune and Dr. Her
ron do not at all agree Doctor Heron
stands for the masses. while the Trib-
une stands for the classes Doctor Her.
ron is opposed to class legislation, spe-

Competition the Mother Of Energy.
Saltwater, Mimi, Feb. 10, 1901.
Editor of the Representative:
Dear Sir-From the present status It
seems to me that one of the greatest
and most important questions before the
American people is how far can the in
dustries and properties of our country
be socialized without dulling the SEN
sibility and energies Of our people to
such an extent that national and indi-
vidual progress would cease. There are
those and a great many of them vino
believe that all the means OF productions
should be socialized and all property
should be common property even to the
home, the most sacred spot on earth
In word they would socialize every
thing, destroy this competitive system
that has done more than anything to
build up this great and grand civiliza-
ton.
Competition is as necessary to human
and national progress as air. food and
water is to the human system. 1t has
brought into being all that is best and
OF most Importance to mankind. It's
fruits are visible on every hand and in
every walk of life from the humblest to
the grandest enterprise.
To analyze this subject we will begin

a short distance so that others that
