The supreme court OF the
United States recently ruled in q
Tennessee case, that q state has
the right to regulate freight
rates of railways operating
within it's limits. If that is So,
how can the State of Minnesota
show that ''irreparable injury 4

injunction against the Northern

interior Of the country has
= but slight conceptionof the
Importance to the country Of the
purchase Of the Danish West
India islands. He is too apt to
measure them solely by their
square miles, their population, or
their fertility in tropical fruits
and otherproducts. The tendency
is to compare them with counties
or states in the American Union
whose elements Of prosperity are
familiar to us, their mountains,
riversand valleys being .smooted"
by the average man Of America
as rich prospects of prosperity,
capable of sustaining SO many
hundreds or so many thousands
OF people per square mile with
out inconvenience. Viewed from
that standpoint alone, the Danish
islands will be Of great value to
the United States If they are OBJ
tanned even at the cost OF ten
times that which it is proposed
to pay for them. But from an
other standpoint they will be OF
much greater value; and that is
not, as some people will suggest,
their strategic position from q
naval point Of view, for that is
the suggestion that is given out
at headquarters in Washington
as the statesmanlike reason for
their acquisition.
The real and true reason which
most unauestionably prompts
the men who are in control Of
American politics and American
craftsmanship today is, that hay
ing acquired Porto Rico, and
being in protection Of Cuba, with
the immediate prospect Of annex
alton of that island, the owner
ship OF the Danish West Indies
would give to American vessels
trading between New York OF
Baltimore and all South Ameli-
can ports, almost absolute con
troll Of the way freights that are
now picked up and handled by
English, German and Norwegian
steamers trading between South
America and the United States.
The importance Of this will be
understood when it IS known
that the shipping of the United
States carries less than seven
per cent of the trade which ex-
lists between our ports and South
American ports; and that the
freights which have been and are
now being carried by English,
German and Norwegian vessels
from the West Indies as way
freights to and from New York
- -,
and European ports, comprise
more than one-half of the total
freightage between Latin Amer
lea, so called, and the United
States.
In other words, the possession
of the Danish West Indies and Of
Cuba will put the shipping OF
this country on the same footing
with respect to the West Indian
trade, as now exists between
New York and New Orleans,
Boston and Philadelphia, which
gives us a tremendous leverage
upon all the shipping between
our ports and those, of South
America. For way freights are
as important to ocean going ships
as local freights are to any rail
road system crossing the conti-
4
nent; and it is as Indispensable
that we should own not only the
Danish West Indies and Porto
Rico, but Cuba alse, as it was
that we should have owned the

IT separate ownerships Of rail

Times howl 50 loud and long over
the failure Of the Minneapolis &

rates from points in Southern

The woman's page OF today, to take
the Pioneer Press for example, is
about as lively a piece OF journalism
as can be imagined. They maintain
a special corps of women writer's and
editors who are in touch with the
women of the northwest, and are
amply qualified to pass on the events
of interest to them. The special arti-
cles are prepared by experts who are
an authority in their line. Club news,
civic improvement societies, and all
the various town topics of this char

attention. "A careful perusal OF a few
numbers would surprise anybody as
to the amount Of really helpful matter
contained therein. All this is in addi-s
tion to the regular fashion articles
and society news, which departments
are maintained separately.

What happened there is described In

The king ought not properly to have

"Lord Hastings, I wear the crown;
