Germany whose capitalists have secured

England was asked to get into the scheme
on the ground floor, so to speak, by pro-
noting the investment Of a fourth Of the
capital needed for construction purposes,
Germany and France to contribute a
fourth EACH and the other fourth was
assigned to Austria and Italy and Swift

Good for Reciprocity.

II Sir Wilfrid Laurier has really been
''stringing along" Senator Fairbanks In
the correspondence regarding another ses-
sion OF the international joint high COM
mission, there Is no occasion for any
more ''stringing.' The news from Lon
don should make Sir Wilfrid's course
plain. All factions Of English liberals,
conservatives and unionists have arisen
as one man to repudiate Chamberlain's
preferential tariff policy withits corollary
of taxed food fof the people. There Is
absolutely no hope that the present Brit
ish parliament will authorize any change
In the historic British policy that win
offer any chance for reciprocity between
Canada and Great Britain.
The fates are certainly kind to the reci-
procity advocates just now. While Cham
berlain's proposal Of preferential tariffs
within the British empire has caused In
the United States q realization of how
ada might have been lost, and has there
by stimulated the demand for its early
contamination, the overwhelming rebuff
Characterization has met with in the
British parliament will tend to arouse in
terest In Canada In reciprocity with the
United States even among those who
have hitherto been most apathetic.
The chances are that If Sir Wilfrid has
been temporizing so far with Senator
Fairbanks he will temporize no longer.
For this we can thank Mr. Chamberlain
He should be elected to honorary mem
bership in the National Reciprocity

The enforced closing the first of the
week Of the Dakota House in this city,
one of the oldest and best known hostel
cries in the state.on account Of the impos-
sibility to secure adequate help. but ex-
cmplifies the scarcity Of laborers, both
men and women, at the present time. This
scarcity of men is not only in this city,
but in other sections of the country, from
one ocean to the other. There was NO
strike in Huron among the servant girls
as in Omaha and Denver, but it was sim
ply impossible to secure girls or men to
work, no matter what wage was offered
them. Every one is busy these days, and
there is no excuse for anyone remaining
idle while there Is SO much work to be
done. This paper has advertised for print
ers for a month, but has been, unable to
secure as many as wanted and conse-
quently work is turned away. and in other
lines are men wanted. That times arr
prosperous cannot be doubted.

WEDNESDAY, EVENING,

the Persian gulf is already under British
control. The English 1nanciers would
have Germany agree that no one mem
be allowed to dispose Of his interest
without the consent Of all three Of the
leading members, England, Germany and
France, so that Russia will not be able
to buy controlling interest, which would
be used against England. The English
financiers would have the International
syndicate promise that no preferential
privileges in tariffs shall be granted to
any nation or class. A disadvantage to
England crops out in the fact that Brit
ish goods for the orient have to come by
sea and are subject to wharf dues. while
German thru goods come down the ORR
entail railway to Constantinople and may
the cars being run on the Anatolian rail-
way tracks to proceed to their destina-
ton without wharf dues. The proposed
railway to the Persian gull will be a
German railway, controlled by Germans.
and the whole scheme is regarded in
England as a part Of the German en-
peror's plan to make Asia. Minor praos
tically field for the exploitation Of Ger
man capital and the colonization Of the
country along the railway to the Persian
gulf, with military occupation to protect
the line, just as Russia. has been doing In
Manchuria. This prospect is by no means
pleasing for England. She Is not going
to allow any encroachment upon her Per-
sian gulf claim, as it is a naval station
on her route to India. 1t may be recalled
that the secret treaty Disraeli made with
Turkey in 1878, whereby England ac-
quired Cyprus, required here to see that
the sultan pushed administrative reform
in Asia Minor. She has never done any
thing Of the kind, and, when the sultan
massacred over 100000 Arrnenians. the
British government looked on at the
tragedy with cool indifference.
Meantime, there is trouble brewing over
the Persian gulf and the Bagdad railway
scheme.

Reserve Judgment.

/; The public IS not 50 tickle as it is
sometimes charged with being. A good
reputation counts strongly with It
health commissioner, is now having a
splendid demonstration Of this fact. His
years Of efficient service to the city, his
energy, enterprise and progressiveness
have established for him reputation that
is not in the least degree impaired by the
against him.
+ With some men an indictment Is equiv
alent to conviction so far as public es-
timation Of the accused is concerned, but
not so with DR.. Hall. It Is probably not
overstating the fact to say that nine
that the health commissioner had been
indicted at once concluded that the in
dictment was one of those mistakes which
grand juries are likely to make under the
ex parte testimony they listen to. In
saying this we have no fault to find with
the grand jury. It has doubtless done
its duty as it appeared to it. We believe
that grand juries should be fearless. in
returning indictments. But we must say
that we believe and hope that its indict-
ment of DR.. Hall is merely a formal &C.
cusation which will be found not tc
amount to much when the case is brought
to trial.
It is said that the death rate at the
Minneapolis quarantine hospital is lower
than at any other municipal quarantine
hospital in the United States. That is a
pretty fair proof that the institution is
efficiently managed, even If it should turn
out to be true that DR.. Hall has not per-
| sonally visited 1t as often as might be
thought necessary for it's welfare. But il
| such Is the case we are confident that ii
| was not thru Sinking or neglecting duty
| but thru the health commissioners effort
| to give as much time as possible to the
| many duties Of his office.

crank. He. can explain that the forest
fires in the east are due to the destruc-
ton of the forests with its consequent
tendency to cause drought. On the other
hand, he can explain that the floods in
the west are due to the absence Of for
ests which have a tendency to act as
sponges and hold the rainfall back, re-
leasing it gradually. Rain and drought
are both on his side now.

9 Before closing yesterday the Norwegian
Lutheran Free church convention adopted
a resolution on the relations between the
Free church and the Minneapolis Com
mercial Club which were supposed to be
somewhat strained. 1t appears that 500
was raised directly by the club. The
resolutions state that the supporters OF
Augsburg never interpreted the promise
of the club to use it's best endeayors to
raise 10000 as a pledge which the club
was legally bound to execute. The reso-
buttons also express regret that an inn
preston should prevail that the club had
not redeemed its promise to use its best
endeavors to raise the $4,000
The convention adjourned without Sc

hence adjourned subject to the call of the
