look after a new store they contemplated open
ing in that part of the city.

We know that the members OF both houses of
Congress have received great number of requests
with our address them. setting forth the belief
that il is the duty Of Congress to act effectively
for the relief of Cuba.
The conditions existing the island of Cuba are
well known. Business is stagnated. and serious
financial disaster confronts the planters especially

To Vote Right, Don't Vote.

Now here's a funny thing. Women are
board on the theory that they have ,spe-
cial title~to voice concerning the man
agement OF a public institution that has
so much to do with their children But
If they exercise that privilege at the ap-
preaching election they may unintention-
ally DO the Minneapolis schools great in
jury. While they can vote for members
of the board they cannot vote on the prop
osition to issue bonds for the schools. But
it requires two-thirds of all votes cast at
the election to adopt the bonds. The
women will be counted in the total, but
they cannot get into the two thirds
Therefore. a woman who votes for school
directors votes to cripple the schools,
since the issuance Of the bonds is neces-
sary to their symetrical growth.
And here's another funny thing. A
woman is supposed to have particular
to vote in school board elections, but even
though she be@a property owner, she is
not supposed to have a particular inter-
est in voting on a bond proposition for
those schools that means increased taxa =
ton One of these days it will occur to
us that women have about as many par
ticular interests in public affairs as men
Then we will have true universal suffrage.

MINNESOTA POLITICS

John Goodnow, from his far away post
on the Pacific, still keeps watchful eye
on Minnesota politics. He is especially
mindful Of the interests Of Minneapolis
According to the Journals correspondent
at Manila, who talked with Mr.. Good
now recently, the consul general is strong
~ impressed with the idea that the city
does not have sufficient representation in
congress. He thinks the last legislature
did an injustice when it refused to divide
Hennepin, and retained it intact as a.
congressional district. The only immedi-
ate remedy for that, he says, is for Min
neapo1is to go after and get one of the
United States senators. He believes that
among the younger men now coming to
the front there Is good material for the
senate. The trouble has been in the past,
he says that Hennepin has never been
able to agree on a man.
The primary election law presents way
out of the difficulty, says the former di-
rector general Of conventions. Let the
question be submitted to the voters Of Hen
nepin county at the primaries. Let the re-
publicans Of the county there declare their
preference among the different aspirants.
Then have the legislators from the county
pledge themselves to stand by the people,
choice, and present a united front. He
believes that with Hennepin united the
county can have a senator, and that the
county. might have had almost continuous
representation in the senate in years past,
but for fractional divisions. - - 49,. IT..

Good Sense Will Preavil.

The Toronto Star observes that while
Senator Lodge is telling the people or
assachusetts that reciprocity with Cam
ada Is impossible because the Canadians
will not settle the trade question without
also settling the Alaska frontier question,
politicians on the other side of the line
are telling the people that reciprocity Is
impossible because Americans do not
want it. And the Star observes that any,
body who wants to know whether the
Canadians really desire reciprocity or not
has only to consult the trade figures with
their showing of enormous and growing
balances in favor Of the United States.
Just now there is a vigorous attempt be-
Ing made in Canada to identify handful
of manufacturers with the people Of Can
ada. But free trade on the North Ameri-
can continent is destiny. AT present the
surface conditions seem to set against
that destiny. Yet they may turn about
suddenly. and turn they will some time
and the sooner the better for Canada and
the better for Americans. Free trade
over 100000 square miles Of the Ameri
can continent has been good for all the
people Of all parts of that area. II it has
been mutually good for Massachusetts
and Texas for Maine and California, why
would it not be mutually good for Manito-
ba and Illinois, Ontario, and Colorado?

that issue since the war and will probably

get over the idea. that the Dingley, law is
legalized perfection.
Space Filling.

Mayor Jones and Superintendent Of Po-
lice Waite now know how hard it is to
please everybody, and how little modera-
ton there is apt to be in adverse criti-
cism Of these who are doing their best.
Neither this dwelling on the advantages OF
grafters in catching burglars, which the
Tribune delights in, nor the patronizing
scolding of the Times is doing any good.
Both tend to weaken popular support Of a
Woodworking administration that is far
cleaner than anything we have had in the
municipal government line in Minneapolis
Of recent years, and that is doing fully as
we'll as the graft regime ever did under
similar circumstances, in wrestling with
tho present epidemic of thievery and bur
glary. Moreover, we have not heard OF
any member of the present police force
assisting burglars in their operations.
Such reassuring spectacle we had under
that delightful practice Of government by
graft.

DAILY DIVERSION

Intricacles Of Buslness-J. M. Roseberry
Long, a young member Of the New York
bar, was visited the other day by a
would-be client, who laid before him a
complex problem which he desired to have
incc1 porated in a suit for 100000 damages
The visitor was an elderly man, past 60.
of rubicund countenance and enormous
girth. He drew from his pocket small
leather-covered notebook, refreshed his
memory, and said:
Five years ago bought a small farm
of 1000 acres down in Texas and started
to raise chickens. bought the farm on a
mortgage from a man who owned the ad-
Joining farm. He ALSO raised chickens. ]
bought a. setting of: prize Brahmas- II
eggs, at 81 apiece, Out OF :. the setting
were Matched two. hens and one rooster,
very valuable birds. When half grown
they strayed> to the farm of my neighbor.
When went to callsfor them he claimed
that they were his, and refused to give
them up. I have evidence that in the
course of one: year those two prize Brah-
ma hens laid $50 eggs, the market price
Of which had risen to 50, making a profit
OH those two hens Of $3.50. The rooster
was exhibited at county fair and took a
$3.50 prize, making a. profit Of $1,000 on
the three birds. The mortgage on my
farm came due. Il was $4,000 short and
could borrow no. money. The mortgage
was foreclosed, and I had to get out. In
the following year of was struck on that
farm, and before the oil gave out 500, 900
worth was taken, out My: contention is
that through the conversion Of the three
prize Brahma fowls II, was defrauded OF
100000. That's as clear as daylight, isn't
it?" 1900 e, & s,ss,s:. - = ~ +.
