FURTHER PROTECTION NEEDED.

A rather instructive circumstance
has just presented itself in connection
with the American tin plate industry.
The American Tin Plate company, ac-
cording to the current press reports,
asked it's employees to submit to 25
per cent reduction in their wages. This
demand is based upon the desire of
that concern to secure the patronage
of the Standard Oil company. The
Standard Oil company finds itself in
position today to supply itself with the
necessary tin plate by importation,
Notwithstanding the tariff, at rates
more favorable, with the prevailing
American wage scale, than can be had
by patronizing home industry. This is
due to the fact that the Standard Oil
company, after paying its tariff of 81. 40
per box on tin plate, receives under the
| tariff laws a rebate Of 90 per cent when
| the tin which it purchases is used in
| exporting American oil to foreign mar
kets.
Here is an economic situation, alb
| normal in character, called into exist
ence by the system of special privilege
represented by. the tariff. The Amer
| lean rir plate industry has reached its
| present rCportions through a system
of government bounties unparalleled
/ i'll their extent. Yet the corporate ben
! eficiary Of those bountieS finds itself
unable to control the market which
has thus been vsafeguarded to il
/ through governmental intervention.
| Now it comes about that the tin
plate trust, having exhausted the pos
sibilities of government aid, turns to its
employees asking them to further sup
| plement the arbitrary advantage which
| is placed at their disposal through the
tariff, in order to save themselves from
competition.
How long will the American people
consent to witness such exhibitions as
| this before they make their servants in
Office understand that they will no
longer continue to pay enormous taxes
for the maintenance of monepolies of
the charect of the tin plate trust?

far to the improvement of the roads
has been the additional cost. 1t has
been a practical impossibility for the
local authorities to do anything more
than they. have done fer the improve
ment of their roads. The establish
ment of the good roads train on the
Great Northern and the practical ex-
perimentation which is designed to
take place during the state fair in the
art of road building must inevitably
lend an impetus to the movement in
this section which will render the i'm
provement of the public highways a
mighty force in our development.
The advent of the rural free delivery
and of trolley car INSTRUMENTATION
between settled points, and the appear
ance of the automobile as an accepted
means of conveyance, all point uner-
ringly to the need which exists for bet
ter roads to connect the several agri-
cultural communities. BY the time the
movement inaugurated by the Great
Northern railroad has reached it's close
the responsibility will rest entirely
upon the several communities of Min
nesota if they should fail to make the
needed improvements in their public
highways.

THE PANAMA HAT OF OMAR.

Before the lingering days of winter died
Methought a voice inside the hatters
cried:
when all our summer stock is spread
Why stand the dubious purchasers out

And while they fingered one, who stood
before
The window, shouted: Let me in the
door,
I'll put my money in a Panama,
Fen though for three years l can buy
no more
Now the warm days, reviving old desires,
To own a Panama each sport aSpires;
So HES he to his uncle with his watch
To raise the price that stylish garb re-
quires.
Some for the glories of this world; a few
Sigh for the hopes of Paradise to view
All! take them all; / only ask, for mine
To own Panama of faultleSS hue.
AS by the hatters door I stood agape
1 saw Panama of matchless shape.

When my wife saw 1t I'd be in a scrape.
Nay, my beloved. wipe away those tears
ExtraVagant it seems, but have no fears.
Now | can buy you more and better
hats,
A Panama like mine will last ten years.

As since put me on this headgear swell
But, too, l wonder why those matters

One half so costly as they sell.
But that linoleum lid. whose tender braid
Daily on Broadway is displayed

In what fierce thunderstorm twill come

Strange, is it not. that of the myriads who
Before US passed the hatter's portals
through
Not one will tell the truth of what it

But multiplies the cost at least by two.
Except when Ananias homeward goes
The sum it costs then shrinks-it never

But never let him think he's fooled his
wife;
She knows about it all-she knows, she
knows

BRACES BAD BREAK,

Gen. Bragg's friends are making a
very valiant fight to save that gentle
man from the consequences of his lat
est lndlscreet utterance. He stands be-
fore the American and Cuban public
today as representative of this. people
in Cuba committed to the opinion that
the Cuban people are unfit for self
government. His terse figure of speech
which represents the task of rendering
Cubans fit for self-goyernment as be-
ing as difficult as that of making a
whistle out of pigs tall necessarily
attracted immediate and general pub
lie attention
1t is claimed on Gen. Bragg's behalf
that he should not be held to the re-
spons1bility of such a statement be-
cause it was made in the privacy of a
personal communication. The effort
has been made to throw some doubt on
the real purport of his statement, and
a denial has been made that it involv-
ed any impeachment of Cuban fitness
for self government. If Gen. Bragg's
| this view of his statement they are call
ed upon forthwith to publish the text Of
the letter from which the alleged Of
fens1Ve statement is taken. Until they
do so the country will continue to ac-
cept the original view of that state
ment.
1t does not possess the slightest sig
nlf1cance whether Gen. Bragg's- state
ment is public or private. If he made
1T there is only one course for him to
pursue and that is to resign his pres
ent office forthwith. He could be gull
ty of no grosser violation Of the rights
of the people to whom he is accredft-
ed than the one attributed to him.
If he has committed it any delay in Of
fering his resignation should be per-
emptorily ended by demand for such
resignation, or, if necessary, by his i'm
mediate dismissal from office.
Through the Vaccinations of admin
lStrat1on politicians all the glory that
has come to the country through the
enforced liberation of Cuba is in dan
ger of being lost. In practical opera
ton the refusal of the general govern
ment up to the present to grant the
trade concession to Cuba which that
nation has solicited is an effort to
starve the young republic into apply
ing for annexation to the United States.
Without the concession asked the al
tentative offered lies between bank
ruptcy and revolution on the one hand.
and annexation to the United States
on the other. Under such circum-
stances to have the accredited repre-
sentative of the United States in Cuba
declare his conviction that that people
are unfit for the liberty which we have
aided in winning for them is in effect
additional proof of a conspiracy to
force the Cubans into demand for
annexation.
If Gen. Bragg does not disprove at
once the charge made against him, or,
failing to disprove, does not resign, he
should be instantly dismissed from his
Office.

AT THE GRAND.

For its second week in St Paul the
Frawley Stock company last night
made its Offering in the shape of Jo-
seph Arthur's comedy drama, blue
Jeans. Not since the season of 1898
has 1T been presented in ST. Paul. and
this fact, together with it's known mel
odramatic character, was responsible
for possibly the best Sunday night
house seen at the Grand since the sum-
mer stock season opened. Apart from
some discrepancies in the staging the
play was adequately presented.
To be candid, Blue Jeans" is thin,
but 1T has the merit Of being endowed
with some very exciting and clever
climaXes, and that counts for much
The lovers of the impossible discount
the admirers of the legitimate two to
one, and Joe Arthur was not lacking in
the knowledge of this fact when he
pressed into service q saw mill and a
buz saw and drew on an unsophisti-
Gated Indiana village for the material
to make it go. 1t is realistic, and it is
endowed with some rich rustic humor,
which the Frawley company, however,
at times crowd so fast on the heels of
pathos and tragedy that the discrim-
mating spectator is puzzled to find the
connection.
Miss Charlotte Perry, st. Paul
| lady, is entrusted with one of the prin-
I c1pn characters of the play, June, and
she meets its requirements in every
respect. Her conception of the simple
| ways OF the poor house girl is only
equalled by the attention she gives to
| the emotional and Womanly scenes
| with which the character is fruitfuIly
! endowed. Miss Parry was recognized
| by her friends in the audience last
night to the extent that she was com
PEELED to answer to numerous curtain
calls.
| Miss Mary Van Buren, was indis-
posed last night to the extent that she
was unable to appear as Sue Eudaly
and the part was taken by Miss Elean-
| or Geist. The role is a difficult one,
| and, considering the short time in
which Miss Geist had to master it, her
| Interpretation was quite acceptable
| Frank Matthew is the Perry Baseom
| OF the story. His young appearance
and an occasional relapse from the dig
nifty attendant upon the role has a
slight marring effect, but his work on
| the whole is fair The support, with a
| few exceptions, is in every way ade-
| quate. Alex Kearney is really refresh
/ ing as Col. Henry Clay Risener, and
the Jacob Tutewiler of Wallace Shaw
| is pregnant with good acting. Freder-
lex Montague is seen to advantage in
the character of Ben Boone.
The saw mill scene, with human
form being slowly showed against a
rapidly revolving buzz saw is the fea-
ture of the production. Here it is that
June, locked in by her rival, breaks;
down the door and saves her husband.
The yell from the gallery as she tore
his senseless form from the saw table
was like old times.

RUssIA's ANTITRUST CALL.

The event Will probably prove that
the proposal of the car for an interna-
uonal conference on the subject of the
growth of trust organization will not
extend to the United States. 1t may,
indeed, be that what is represented as
an international antitrust conference
is nothing less significant that a move
ment toward united action on the part
OF the European governments against
the policy of commercial exclusion per-
sisted in by the United States
On its face the call from the car for
. a conference of European nations on
the subject of the trusts is an unto
ward, almost an incredible, proceeding.
A demand, on the other hand, for
conference on the subject of American
commercial aggression is not at all to
regarded as an unreasonable proposal.

participate in it had not been sounded
in advance with results satisfactory to
the nation taking the initiative.
Russia is, perhaps, the latest of the
European nations to have brought
home to the understanding of it's ruI-
ers the burdensome, if not negotiable,
operation of our tariff regulations. A
year ago Secretary Gage insisted on
applying the countervailing duties to
Russian sugar, and again took like ac
ton against Russian petroleum. How
Russia responded by a blow at Amer
lean imports is now a matter of his
tory. Since that time there has been
no attempt made by either side to
minimize the extent of the commercial

those incidents. If Russia is. then.

With the information now prevailing

But 1t would be equally unreasonable
TO assume that the European nations
