OF Course The Journal Knows
Better

For reasons that are difficult to UNI
derstand in view Of Duluth's geo.
graphical location and general inter-
ests, the News-Tribune of that city. is
a vigorous opponent Of reciprocity
with Canada.
Referring to our, Washington COR
respondence regarding the reports
made by Representatives Bede and
Stevens as to Canadian reciprocity
sentiment in New England and the
foot note appended to that article the
News Tribune INDUCES in few saucy
remarks. For example, it says:
But The Minneapolis Journal knows
better. On the word of the Boston Her
aid, high-class democratic organ, and
on some authorities not quite so strong,
the Minneapolis paper takes it on itself
to deny the conclusions reached by Con-
gressmen Bede and Stevens
Now the Boston Herald is a news
paper, and it is not to be presumed
that it would pervert the facts in such
simple matter as a statement in re-
gard to resolutions adopted by the va
rtous commercial bodies of New Eng
land.
The authorities not quite SO
strong" were the letters of practically
all the shoe manufacturers Of New
England written to the editor of the
Weekly Bulletin, a Boston financial
publication. These letters with the
exception of a few very brief ones, all
Of which were in favor of reciprocity,
were published in full, so that there is
no chance that the editors statement
that only five or six of the shoe man
ufacturers are opposed to reciprocity
is a biased statement. 1t is fair to
assume that the manufacturers know
their own minds.
Further the News-Tribune says that
not one of the twin city papers dares
refer to the fate of the reciprocity
resolution In the legislature last win
ter. T he Journal would remind
the News-Tribune that while the SEN
ate voted against reciprocity with
Canada at that time both houses re-
solved in favor of free lumber. AS
the News-Tribune's lumber interests
are what keeps it from favoring re-
ciprocity we hope it finds consolation

Chicago employees of the city and state
and federal government are said to have
organized a company ostensibly to hold
land in Mexico, but in reality to get around
the rule prohibiting them from going into
labor unions, The public employee who goes
into union which compels his submission
to any other influence than that of his
political duty is entitled to just one thing
and that is a. prompt dismissal. Union
6remen and union policemen are impos-
sible.

Willie Hearst proposes to bag the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency by
paying the freight. That is bad, but no
worse than the plight of the men who are
prepared to spend 100000 to defeat
President Roosevelt.

The democratic party is in danger of
being led to ignominious defeat this fall
by Willie Hearst. What a descent, from
Bryan to Hearst! Bryan's ideas are
wrong, but his heart is right, and his per-
sonal life is exemplary. If nothing else,
he is strong moral force in politics.

Lac Stafford says that discipline Of en-
ployes is the main thing in preventing
disastrous panics in theaters. Discipline
is highly important, but with manage
ment that locked all the exits on one side
of the theater, as did that Of the Iroquois,
it counts for little.

Unless congress shall provide for making
a national park of the famous Calaveras
grove of Sequoia gigantea in California,
that. forest of giant trees will fall before
the lumberman's ak and saw. Contracts
have already been let for the logging of
these great trees, but operations have
been suspended in the hope that congress
will act. These are by far the largest
trees in the world. It takes thousand
years to grow them. Moreover, the con-
ditions now are such that If they are once
destroyed they will not be replaced. even
in a thousand years. They constitute a
national wonder and should be owned by
the nation. California has already spent
$3.50, 900 on grove Of sempervirens. and
cannot afford to buy the sequoias. Before
taking up either the proposed White
mountain or Appalachian forest reserves,
congress should consider the bill for saw
ing the sequoias.

The Pullman cars ought to be doing a
inndoffice business these days. They seem
to be wreck proof Most Of the people who
are killed or injured in passenger train &C
cidents are those riding in mall cars or

coaches as strong as the Pulmans?

There are three coal dealers in Minns-

Steal, and Learn a Trade.

Two boys yesterday appealed to the
chief Of police to be sent to the train
ing school at Red Wing SO they could
be good and learn trade"
'If we can't lead better lives, We'll
have to steal and be sent there they
said.
Has it come to this that it is pos
sible for bad boy to learn a trade
and not for a good boy to do SO?
We fear it has.
On the one hand the unions jealous
ly restrict the number of apprentices.
It actually requires "pulP' and Gin
! fluence" nowadays for boy to learn
a trade. The theory is that, there
are just so many jobs, and one Of the
objects of labor organizations is to
| restrict the demand for them.
| On the other hand. what is there in
| the way of a technical school In Min
neapolis where an ambitious boy may
learn a trade? Nothing, whatever,
worthy Of the name short of the uni
training in the schools, but it is al
ways on the defensive.
! In this city of a quarter Of a mil
| lion people there is not a single
technical school, public or private, no
place where boy may be instructed
in a trade.
But let boy commit theft and
appear properly unrepentant and he
will be sent to Red Wing, where he
can learn a trade.
Valuable training for the bad, none
for the good.
What is to be done about it?
| Let some of our wealthy men an
swer, and let the answer be technical
school worthy of the city.
! Some day private donations to the
common schools will be regarded just
as wise and just as beneficent as
building colleges and libraries and
| erecting statues.

CONFIDENCE IN HANNA.

All efforts to get Senator Hanna into the
presidential race have been futile, and the
staunch old standpatter is standing pat

politics, and such sensible acts as this are
what brings the confidence in his judg-

grand prize for her fruits and one
special gold medal for being the only
state having its fruit display com
pletely installed on the opening day
OF the fair Eight other gold medals
fcrty-seven medals and Isl bronze
medals are awarded to Arkansas.
Arkansas apples have attracted world
wide attention, and it is generally
conceded that the state has been be-
ter advertised than any other eXh'pl'
ing at the fair. This is caused by tn"
variety, abundance and quality OF
Arkansas fruits. While Arkansas
has beat the world en- big apples. II
has also won laurels on apples when
are unexcelled for eating. The e.
bibits of Arkansas have occupied .
prominent place in the Hortlcnlttra'
