roo MUCH HIDDEN
Big Trusts Issue Statements That
Do Not State Anything
Vital.
Publicity and More Is Called For
by the New York Even
ing Post.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
New York, March 1.-THE Evening
Post in its financial article, says: The
statements of the tobacco trust, sugar
trust and ice trust prove that publicity
suggested by the industrial commission is
very necessary and also that the decent
protection of the investment community
requires good deal more.
Ali these companies published what
they called annual statements and they
were especially such statesments as proved
! the need of more light on the companies
finances.
THE tobacco trust has so marked UP
the dividends of the companies it controls
| as to throw millions to it's own share
holders. but nothing is said as to how
| those increased dividends were earned.
| ''The sugar trust spent s6.000,000 of! its
| shareholders money in buying stock of
other corporations. but declines to say
| what it bought with the money.
| 1.-The ice trust turns out to be losing
money heavily but the complaining stock
holder is asked if he is bear ON the
| market. -.-
Congress undoubtedly ought to DO
something more than it has done to abate
the dangerous nuisance of secrecy in in
vestment corporations. -.

HAS A LIMIT ~.
But the Power Of Pure Food Is Seldom
Exhausted. 49,.

There Is, of course. a limit to the cura-
tive abilities even Of pure food, but it is
fact that this is seldom reached, There
are cases Of disease so deep-rooted that
they will never be cured. s
1t Is nevertheless profound fact that
the pure food Grape-Nuts. the most
scientific food in the world, has effected
marvellous results in cases where medi-
cal science has given up the sufferer and

IMPORTANCE OF PORTAL
The Only Port in This Vicinity by
Which Chinese May Le-

ing, Washington.
Washington, March 1.-THE agreement
made between the treasury department
and the Canadian Pacific Railroad com
pany relative to port of entry along the
Canadian border provides for the discon
tinuance of Pembina, N. D., as place at
which Chinese may come in. In its place
Portal. where the 500 road crosses the
boundary line, is made the official port
of entry for Chinese entitled to come into
the United States. At the last session of
congress Portal was made a port of i'm
mediate transportation, and it has now
become a port of the greatest importance
in the traffic between the United States
and Canada. Portal is the only point on
the boundary line between Malone. n. Y.
east Of Buffalo, and Summas, Wash. at
which Chinese, entitled to admission, may
lawfully enter. '-.<
1t is stated at the treasury department
that this agreement with the Canadian
Pacific does not mean any relaxation of
the vigilance Of the department in en-
forcing the Chinese exclusion act. On the
contrary the force along the border is be-
ing increased. as the funds for the work
have been increased by congress, and the
law will be more rigidly enforced, if pos
sible, than before.

DEBATE WAS LIVELY In TOO GREAT HURRY
Senate To-day Recalls and Reconsid-
ers Two Bills Which It Passed
Yesterday.
Futile Objection Made to Worlds
Fair Junket for the State
Militia.

1t was discovered by the senators this
morning that their fast gait yesterday
was not conducive to careful legislat ton.
Two measures which Slipped through were
recalled from the house for further con-
sderatiOn. One was the Nyquist bill
flooding the state with boiler inspectors.
Senator Campbell moved reconsideration
and the bill was placed on general orders,
where: it can be amended MI. Campbell
thinks the state can not support fifty
three boiler inspectors with proper dig
nifty and will seek to have the number re-
duced to about nine.
Another Measure Reconsidered.
The senate also recalled the Sinclair
bill, II. F. 3SS, providing for the creation
of boards of municipal works In cities of
from 10000 to $4,000. It was supposed
to affect only Winona, but it is found to
apply also to Mankato and st. Cloud will
soon come under it's provisions. Senators
Brewer and Eberhart secured reconsid-
GRAFTON. .,., - :,
Objects to Picnic for Militia.
Senator Cooke objected strenuously to
authorz ing the expenditure Of the national
guard appropriation for taking the Min
nesota guard to the Worlds Fair at St.
Louis in 1904. Under the resolution pre-
sented by Senator A. 3. Cole yesterday,
the national guard officers were author
ized to expend $12O,OOO for picnic at
st. Louis If they saw fit He questioned
the legality of resolution to pay the
state militia outside the state. But his
! was the only negative vote.
Lake City will grieve over being de-
| prived of the annual encampment, as the
soldiers are a welcome source Of revenue.
Affects Real Estate inheritance.
Among the bills introduced was one by
Senator Alley amending the laws relating
to inheritance of real estate. 1t pro~.~cs
that after onethird Of the estate has been
distributed to the surviving wife or, hus-
band, three -fourths of the remaining two
thirds shall become the property of the
Edecedert's father in case there are nc
surviving children. If there is no sur
viving father or children. brothers and
| sisters are to have an equal share Of the
| threefourths share the other quarter 60
ing to the wife in addition to her present
portion. The effect of the proposed bill
| will be to deprive a surviving wife OF
husband Of the share in the estate nov
granted by the law.

UNION AGAINST UNION.
'Tvvhat Was Sauce for the Goose IL
Being Onered TO the GRnder."
TaI1tn.'.

Social history in these days Is made fast.
Here we have employers turning them
selves into unions, like the laborers, and
there we have the courts enJoining the en-
ployers from conspiring against union
labor, for all the world like the inJunctions
which have been issued on the other side.
What has been sauce for the goose is being
offered to the gander. The rules are being
shufied up and distributed in opposite d.
rections. Meantime, the public looks on
cheerfully and heartily wishes that the
best cause, in each particular case may
win. II you are building house, and two
unions are striking against each other, the
situation is not so funny, but II you have
no personal interest you can see all these
details as incidents in the most interesting
development OF our era Bullets and battles
and heavy battalions generally are begin
ming to bore the more reflective minds.
Force has become a chestnut" The solu-
tion of human rights by the bayonet Is
now approved only when It is applied to
nations of a civilization different from our
own. Here in America we want things to
be worked out in the realm of thought.
The courts have been making important
decisions about the rights of organic I'D
labor. OF organized capital. and the people
are thinking just as hard as the courts. II
labor throws a brick we regret it, and dis
approve, but not In a self-righteous pas
sion, for we remember that while labor
waS throwing the brick. capital was buy
ing a senator thus breaking a law as i'm
portant the laws against violence.
Neither bricks nor bribes are the worthiest
argument, and public opinion condemns
them both More interesting however,
than the faults Of the combatants, are the
essential rights involved. The solution OF
them is OF far deeper import than the con-
demnation OF either party for irregularity.
On the surface there Is much scolding over
inconvenience and unreason, but under
| meath is the national desire that justice be
done, though It cost something to us all.

ContestinS for the Americas Cup En-
titled to the Name.
Cleveland Lead

Cleveland Leader.
Horse racing has ever been a pastime of
those comparatively, II not absolutely,
rich. The Indians of the plains who could
distinguish themselves in the contests of
their barebacked ponies were the posses
sors of animals which the poorer members
of their tribes could not own. The race
horses Of the Arabs of the deserts, whether
IN Asia or in the northern and northeast
ern parts of Africa, have always been
highly valued. They do not belong to men
of ordinary means. In more complex and
luxurious societies swift and stanch horses
have been so costly and 30 monopolized, as
rule by the rich. that horse racing was
long ago styled the sport of kings" II
is still so expensive and 80 fashionable
among the wealthy and powerful that the
old saying hardly needs explanation or
comment
But il the use Of race horses for glory
or prizes is sport for men with regal
purses. what shall be said Of such yacht
racing as the struggle for the Americas
cup brings on this year7 n horse racing
is kingly in its cost and its pomp, the
favorite sporting venture Of a very rich
British baronet is truly imperial.
The Upton squadron, as II has been
styled. with good reason, is leaving British
waters with about ITO men employed. 1t
carries thousands of dollars worth Of
supplies for the entertainment OF the owner
and his guests The vessels have been
insured for hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. When they reach this country they
will be a veritable foreign fotilla, though
welcomed warmly and wholly amicable In
purpose. For many weeks before the in
ternational races the Upton yachts will
be tried against one another. and many
thousands of dollars will be spent in pre-
! pairing the challenger for the Americas
cup so that every inch of distance possible
| shall be won in the final struggle for the
international championship OF the seas.
| All of which is sport that demands more
| than the wealth of many kings. IT is pos
sible only to few OF the richest men of
the times. 1t makes the proverbial sport
OF kings" seem cheap by comparison. In
| ternational yacht racing, for the highest
honors of Great Britain and the United
| States is what deserves that name better
| than any contests with horses.

which the government would receive no
equivalent.
There was a very strong feeling shown
by representatives in the last house In
regard TO what was deemed an over
bearing attitude toward that body on
the part Of the senate, but the disposi-
ton to resent the encroachments of the
upper body was not sufficiently general
TO have any effect. The spirit of protest
then manifested, however, may easily
grow in the next house and 1t appears
that arrangements are being made with
view to stimulating it. 1t is unques-
tionably the duty of the house to insist
upon and protect its legislative rights
and there is no doubt that it will have
popular support in doing so. In recent
years the senate has arrogated to itself
prerogatives the authority for which was
questionable and this tendency will GER
tainly grow If allowed to. The intention
of the house leaders to maintain the
rights of that body is altogether com.
mendable.

THE gIeH JofNr ooMMlssIoN.

1t has been expected that this COM
mission would reconvene at some time
during the present year and again take
up the questions awaiting settlement be-
tween Canada and the United States.
giving the subject of reciprocity chief
consideration. 1t Is now said that the
commission will not reassemble, owing
to change OF attitude on the part of
Canada respecting reciprocity. This
Change Is understood to have been
brought about by the Chamberlain prop
osition for preferential treatment of the
British colonies under a tariff policy yet
to be formulated. 1t seems almost in
credible that the Canadians should take
thus seriously the proposition of the CO.
loniai secretary, since the policy he ad-
vocates is not likely to be adopted and
in any event cannot be for several years,
still there is probably substantial foun-
dalton for the statement. There is a
very strong imperialistic sentiment In
the Dominion and to this the Chamber
lain program peculiarly appeals. 1t
holds out a promise OF advantage over
the United States which is very pleasing
to large majority OF the Canadian peo-
pie. 1t is safe TO say that Mr.. Cham
berlain car rely upon them for hearty
support, If he shall be able to convince
them that his policy would operate to
the injury of this country. AS to the
high Joint commission its reassembling
would be useless so far as reciprocity is
concerned, but there are other matters
for settlement which would justify again
calling the commission together.
