A SUGGESTION

The Indians join with the lumbermen in
finding fault with the Morris bill for
opening up the ceded Leech Lake reser-
vations. The protest Of the lun1bermen
failed to have any effect on the form of
the bill and the plant of the Indians
comes now as sort Of protest against
history. The Morris bill is law and will
soon be in full operation.
The Indian probably complains because
the pine will rapidly be cut and there will
be no more dead-and-down logging, which
used to give him much remunerative en-
ployment as we'll as object matter for
endless grievances; and, also, because he
fears that he will not get the benefit of
economical" administration OF the law.
The Indian, reasoning after the manner
Of savages from previous experiences,
fears that when the salaries of inspectors,
scalers, superintendents, ETC., are paid
there will be a mighty small. dividend
from the pine for him. : x.
The Indian bureau should make spec
ial effort to make a. record for economy
and efficiency in applying the Morris law.
Estimators and scalers, and all other off,
cials engaged in the work should be COM
PEELED to earn their money by: faithful and
expeditions work. There should be no
.soldiering." ~ ! :ss -

EDUCATION FOR FARMERS

1t is worth while to remind the visit
ing educators that for really helpful and
broadly successful work, the agricultural
department of the University Of Mime
sofa is in the front rank. It does not
turn out mere soft theorists, but
gives boys and young men practical as
we'll as theoretical instruction In FARMING
and, moreover, sends them back to the
farms where they almost invariably be-
come successful themselves and centers
from which radiate influences for agri-
cultural Improvement. Minnesota is q
great farming state and it is spending
much money and no little energy and
brains in teaching its citizens how te
farm.
We have no fine contempt for the farm
er up here. We realize that the farmer
is more important than the manufactures
and that there is room for quite as much
ability on the farm as in the factory
With the great increase in population
the country will be more than ever the
foundation Of, national greatness, and no
citizen will be more valuable than the
farmer who intelligently makes the most
of his opportunities.

the cost <of building that has heretofore
been against the American boat. But the
Hill boats are settling that problem, for
the introduction Of mechanical stokers
will do away with all necessity for the
droves of stokers that now run UP the
payrolls of American ships to such a
high point. AS the revival of the mer-
chant marine gains momentum the cost
Of building will be reduced and still
greater savings will be made in operation
The growth of American foreign COM
merce. which is now going on at an
unparalleled rate, will increase the de-
mand for American ships. Already the
best American steel shipyards are best
in the world; that Is conceded by foreign
experts. Already they are producing the
biggest ships and the best equipped.
At this rate the Frye ship subsidy
bill will soon be a curious antiquity. 1t
is already dead and embalmed. 1t came
too late. It was offered just when the
natural course of American development
was taking up the task of reviving our
merchant marine as a business PROPOSE
tion. When the American capitalist takes

BETTER THAN POLICE

Yesterday was a bad day for the pick
pockets. The game turned and they be-
came the hunted" instead of the hunters.
In Minneapolis Mr.. ]. w. Kerr estab-
lished new record as an unframed,
amateur sprinter in successful effort to
catch man who had tried to pick his
pocket in crowded street car. At Wild
wood on White Bear Lake Mr.. w. B.
Browning, Of Minneapolis, rescued purse
Browning invited the spectators to come
to his assistance. but as they refused,
after the charmingly timid manner crowds
generally have when their assistance Is
really needed, he fell back upon his own
resources in superb style The reports
relate that while he held the pickpoeket
with one hand he pounded him with the
other and from time to time administered
heroic doses Of shoe leather. The more
Mr.. Browning 2chastised the thief. the
more She liked 1t and the stronger he
grew. fSsSAt this, moment of exultant tri-
'umph deputy sheriff who adsdiscreetly
waited to see how the battle would turn
came to Mr.. Browning's assistance. Mr..
Browning naturally supposed that the
deputy was a pal Of the pickpocket and
dealt out some liberal and impressive
punishment to him, too
1t will be observed that both Messrs.
Browning and Kerr are MINNEAPOLIS men.
This observation is thrown in merely as a
reminder to the light fingered and other
crooked folk who may conclude that in
view of police decentralization Minneapolis
is goodly town in which to soiourn. We
wish to assure them that there are 9TH
ers of the Browning and Kerr type who
will do their best to give them a warm
time while in the city. .,

The FRIARS AND THE POPE

"A Roman cable notes hesitancy on the
part of the vatican to act upon the
proposition made by our government
through Governor Taft, to secure by
purchase the lands and personal prop
erty buildings, etc.) OF the friars OF the
Dominican, Augustinian, Recolletto and
FRANCISCAN orders.
Pope Leo naturally does not wish to as.
sumo the responsibility OF ordering the
sale Of their property and the withdrawal
of the friars of these orders from the
Philippines. There is, however, q neces-
sity laid upon him to adopt the proposi-
tion of our government both for the ad-
vantage Of the Roman communion in the
Philippines, and for the peace and hap
piness of several millions of native mem
bers Of that communion in the archi-
pelago.
The friars ought to have the wis
dom enough to relinquish their hold
and retire voluntarily. They have
made themselves obnoxious to the
Filipinos by abuse of the power
which they gradually acquire by
successive usurpations under the Spanish
regime. During the revolution of 1896 81
against Spain, the Filipinos drove the
friars from their parishes. The friars, by

It is difhcult to see why there should

The NEW MERCHANT MARINE

In opposing ship subsidies T h e o 1T
n a has frequently declared that when
American capital became interested in
shipping the American merchant marine
would revive quickly without the help
Of subsidies. Time and again 1t has been
said. in these columns that the same in
genuity and the same immense combina-
tions and skilful applications OF capital
that had made America such great
commercial country would win it great
renown, if not supremacy. in shipping.
It is interesting to find this view sup
ported by so good an authority as John
R. Spears, and to learn that Mr.. Spears
is convinced that American capital has
already taken up the great task in earn
est. American capital began to turn
again to shipping SO long ago as 1894.
AT first it was shipping under foreign
flags. The result is that some 100000
tons of ocean shipping flying foreign
flags is now owned by Americans. While
this form Of Investment has not ceased,
as. is shown by the recent Morgan pur-
chases, there has within the last few
years gone. with it pronounced ten
dency to build ships under the American
flag. Mr.. Spears says that once capital
found there was money in shipping it
was inevitable that soon thereafter
) American capital would be put into ships
flying the gridiron flag at the taffrail.
The facts seem to justify Mr.. Spears
conclusion. There are now In construc-
s ton or have recently been completed in
American yards, for trade under the
American flag, fourteen steel steamships
varying in size from 5000 to 1000 tons.
The two largest, being built for j. J. Hill
1 at New London, Conn, are about $50
tons larger than the Celtic, at present
The largest ship afloat. At the same time
Germany was turning out eight ships of
this class and Great Britain twelve, the
s German and English yards were build
ing great number Of smaller boats,
and our totals were small compared with
theirs but the significance Of the ccm-
. parlson is that Americans are now plan
ming ''to go after" the best of the ocean
trade, and are building for that purpose
more big steamers than Great Britain
While steel plates have been cheaper in
America than England. at times, Mr.
Spears comedies. hat it costs more to
build a steel ship here than in England,

& higher cost OF labor here. Nevertheless
there must be some inducements to cap

The English government has decided
not to suspend the Cape Colony constitu-
tion. The colonial premiers didn't like
the idea of having constitutions suspen-
ded. 1t is in the power of the home gov
,ernment to suspend any colonial consti-
tution-that of Canada, for instance. The
premiers naturally hate to see any con-
stitution suspended, since it will create
precedent that may be stretched to
fit the case of their own colonies in some
future crisis OF course, there is no fear
that the Canadian constitution will ever
be suspended. To suspend it would mean
to cut forever the bond between Canada
and Great Britain. The ink would hardly
be dry on the proclamation of suspension
before there would be a revolution in
Canada.

The members Of the state legislature who

which We're dsapproved of by the people have
Jared badly this year in their efforts to secure
Endorsement. Starting in our own district,
we have Representative Noyes, who has teep

in the Wadena a-Hubbard Todd district the
members were equally forgetful of their duties
to the people who elected them, and in a Wig
orous contest, Jones, Babcock and O:Neil have
been relegated to the shades OF oblivion.
This is not strictly accurate. Dr.. Bah

This is largely true, but there Is another
way of looking at it. If the populist conven-
