BRITISH FARMERS HIT
WHEAT TARIFF AFFECTS FEED
Charles T. Fox Sees Various Bad
Features in the Hicks
Beach Plan.

Charles T. Fox, of London, European
manager of the Pillsbury- Washburn COM
pany at Minneapolis, saysrthat with the
proposed duties added, the outlook for
American flour in England is gloomy. He
says: .'' -
There is possibility that Sir Michael
Hicks Beach may concede the point with ref
erence to refuse for feeding purposes. If he
does the price of American flour in the British
market will be increased about 10 cents a
sack; if he does not, the increase will be IA
cents. In either event, the proposed duties
will seriously injure the American milling
business.
Yankee nlillers, as against shippers, already
suffer from discrimination in freight rates.
The British treasury proposes to augment
this discrimination and the colonial premiers

interimperial protection. ~,

AS ]. ]. HILL SEES It
A Great Natural Law Covering All
Railroad Conditions. -
A SURVIVAL OF THE F1TTEsT
Rate InjunctiOns as Merest
Folly. ~

j. J.. Hill returned to St. Paul this
morning after an extended absence in
New York and Washington In Chicago
yesterday Mr.. Hill said there was no such
thing as community of interest between
railroads, that the national congress and
all the legislatures in the world cannot
stop the operation of the law of the sur
vival of the fttest among railways; that
the iniunctions issued by the courts to
restrain rate cutting are the merest folly.
Pooling among railroads he characterized
as infamous. Mr.. Hill when asked the
question regarding injunctions, said:
Does it not seem strange that the railroads
should seek to be restrained from destroying
one another? They are seeking it, or at
least permitting it to be done without pro-
test 1t is as inevitable as death that in the
end the railroads that are best equipped and
best situated to carry the traffic will get It,
and the rest will be forced into retirement
Yes, it will amount in the end to the sur
vival of the fittest.~ And pray, why should
not this be the result? Does not the law
speak of operate in everything else? Why
should it not operate in the railroad worl6
as we'll as in the commercial world? STOP
and think a moment. Is there any loglca
reason why one road that cannot carry the
traffic as cheaply another should say tt
the latter, "Give me a portion of your earn
ings or will destroy you?'
Don't for a moment be. deceived by any
of the many subterfuges that are being EN-
ployed to hinder the operation of the Law
of which spoke. The Legislatures Of man!
states and the national government are bend
ing their energies in that direction, but al
the governments and all the legislatures il
the world cannot stop it's operation. There
fore l say that the injunctions issued by tn
courts to restrain rebates and secret rate
are the merest folly.
HAS not the community of interest
effectually arrested the operation of tina
law" was asked. -ss. --..
Mr.. Hill replied: f.'- .r
There is no such thing as the communit
of interests. That is the merest rot an
twaddle, term originated and employed b.
the press of the country The only com
munity of interest that can or ever will exis
is the community of interest between tn
shipper and the railroads. No, that com
munity of interest is not receiving it's full
est exemplification, but it will SO soon as tn
law of the survival of the fittest shall hav
had it's sway in the railroad world
Asked what he thought of legalize
! pooling as panacea for rate ills, MI
| Hill said: ~. As.--.
Pooling is Infamous, infamous in any form
1t never brings about the end sought, and
| is simply one of the subterfuges of whic
| l spoke to hinder the operation of the il
evitable law of nature and the universe.

HAMILTON MABIE'S LECTURE
His Coming Address Bound to Be :
Delightful Literary Treat.


Delightful Literary Treat.
1t is maintained by many competent
critics that there is marked decay IN
literary style. Writers are accused OF
slovenliness, carelessness and ignorance.
However that may be as general rule,
there are still few writer's of correct
style, and they are highly appreciated by
the public One of these is Hamilton
Wright Mabie, essayist, critic and jour
nalist, who is to lecture in Minneapolis
Wednesday evening, May IA. He will
come as lecturer in the New Century
course at Plymouth church, and will dis
cuss 'Idealism in American Life The
topic is promising one, and will doubt
less call forth all of Mr.. Mabie's gifts as
a. man of thought and charming speaker.
Minneapolis is very fortunate in having
an opportunity to hear Mr.. Mabie this
year. He is very hard man to engage
for a lecture. He gives but very few
each year, and most of these are given at
the request Of persons or associations
that have some special claims on his
time. Yet there is no American scholar
and man of letters occupied with serious
literature who is in greater demand Tor
public addresses.

The school raised a small amount by the
usual fall and spring collections. Then, as
the children are skillfulr. in Industrial

which their parents gladly bought; sever

two charming spring hats, which their
