FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS
c. Schumacher & Co. say:

With increased stock transactions and rising
prices for securities we believe that money VIII
harden. We hope and expect higher rates. that
bankers may be able to their money. and. II
need be- draw against their European credits. The
reason exchange advanced to the present level is
owing to the stagnation OF business caused by too
much pessimsm and placing abroad of funds to
pay for the Panama Canal The long interest in
exchange is very large and in short time ma
turing exchange investments will be thrown upon
market Now. however. with the worst past
and the brighter business outlook all the
try expect Idle funds to seek investment here
and withdrawal of balances from Europe eOnse-
quently lower exchange. The chances are in favor
of gold exports next week. not because trade con-
ditiOns warrant. but that bankers can obtain bet
ter interest on their money abroad than here. We
do not look for large exports. and the little we
may ship spare very easily Europe is
likely TO buy bonds and stocks which will in
crease the supply of exchange. II another cotton
crop can be marketed on the same basis our
last gold will be plentiful here. and securities will
not remain the present low level We think it
would be advantageous for friends to supply
themselves with time money. The horizon is now

1t would be difficulty to
overestitnate the value of the
services of The Globe in the
recent campaign. 1t was ag-
gressive. 1t made no mis-
takes. It had the faculty to
present the facts in a terse,
vigorous style, so they quick
ly caught the eye of the
voter. The Globe furnished
the keynote of the campaign
for tens of thousands of
loyal supporters of Mr.. John
son thruont the state. It's
columns were free from
offensive personalities, and
it has every reason to have a
warm spot in the heart of
every Democrat in Minneso-

rIanager of Dunn Campaign.
In fairness, must say that
I consider The Globe did
most effective work for it's
candidates in the state cam
paign. The paper made the
most of the rumors relating
to the Republican campaign
and candidates, and it kept
within the lines and did not
have to take back anything
during the campaign. Much
of the value of a newspaper
in a political campaign is to
provide something for the
leaders in the various dis
tricts on which to make their
arguments from day to day,
and The Globe did this work
very well, indeed. The Globe
was certainly in the fight up
to last minute.-James A.

FOREST RESERVE.

The forest reserve policy can be successful
only when it has the full support of the peopl'
of the west 1t can not safely, and should not
in any case, be imposed upon them against
their will But neither we accept the
the views of those whose only interest in the
forest is temporary; who are anxious to reap
what they have not sown and then move away,
leaving desolation behind them. On the con-
trary i, is everywhere and always the interest
of the permanent settler and the permanent
business man, the man with stake in the
countrv which must be considered and which
must decide.
ARMY AND NAVY.
1t is not merely unwise, it is contemplate,
for a nation, as for an individual, to high
sounding language to proclaim its purposes,
or to take positions which are ridiculous if UNI
supported by potential force, and then to refuse
TO provide this force. If there is no intention
of providing and OF keeping the force necessary
to back up strong attitude, then it is far
better not to assume such an attitude.
The steady aim of this nation as of all en-
1;phtened nations, should be to strive to BRING
ever nearer the day when there shall prevail
Morris tribune., 1904-12-10

| This year has demonstrated never b,
fore that Stevens county needs settlers, and it
would be to the best interests of the county
if some concerted movement was made to
bring settlers here. Too large a share of the
wealth produ in this county goes to pay the
share of some absent owner of the land, while
if the farm were owned by the man who f; rms
| it, that share of the wealth produced woul be
spent here, and the surplus would be used tc
further deveope this country. Then a ain,
the farmer who is running a rented farm dos
not have the opportunity to diversity his CT
| and work the land for all there is in it, an .
.hus insure himself against financial stringency
when there is partial failure III wheat Th
result in the towns is poor business and poor
Icollections, such as the merchants in eve y
town in this section have been com planning OF
this fall.

If there is any man who deserves re-appoint
ment at the hands of Governor-elect johnson
it is Public Examiner Sam Johnson He
should be retained to pursue his Investigations
and when the investigations complete,
let the governor see to it that no guilty man
escapes. Johnson made charges which should
not be allow to drop into obscurity now that

A STAR ATTRACTION FOR MESA

Manager Stapley of the Mesa opera house, has billed "A Wise Woman" for next Saturday night and Manager Stechan of Phoenix, under whose aus pices this superb company will play while in the county, came up to Mesa and billed the city, and interviewed the citizens in the interest of the com pany. He says:
 CA Wise Woman is one of the brightest, wittiest farce come lies on the road, and it could hardly have been placed in better hands to secure Its proper' presentation.
 Louise Carter, Loretta Babcock and Jack Ferguson are the stars of the ag- gregation; while the supporting cast, introducing Thos. Hoier. Fred Walton and Helen Burton. (not forgetting the baby) need hardly be separated from the principals in an estimate of their artistic talent and merit. The comedy is full of bright thoughts, breezy say iDgs, Imaginable situations, ludicrous misunderstanding and delightful de- nouements almest without number"

 I like to see damsels athletic. never could care for langurous air Of the maid who would pose as aes-

 A cut off shoulder of mutton? Your muscles are firmer than steel If you only just tap one it hurts; Or course, it's not wrong to be healthy

 But can you sew buttons on shirts ? So hear what I say, for I feel
 That the truth it were folly to shirk. l want for my wife a helpmeet through

 And I don't want a terrible Turk.

BEFORE SPRING CLEANING,
Preliminary Work That Should Be
 Done-How to Wash Blankets.

It is the confusion In house cleaning that works such terrible disaster It is not that men object to having a house cleaner--a fact that they have been ac- cused ot from spring to spring-it is rather that they object to seeing it look dirtier
 Naturally house cleaning seems much worse to men than to women, be- cause the woman who is working in the midst of chaos sees some meaning in the dust and confusion and she has confidence that peace will be restored; but to most men it is just meaningless, nerve racking confusion, and it seems to last half the year.
 There are ways, however, of lessen ing the burden of house cleaning. One is method. Probably the greatest help is to get lot of necessary work out of the way before one actually begins cleaning the rooms. Get the blankets washed ard put away from the moths. Sort out woolen underwear wslsh it and pack it. Get together winter dress es and furs and and pack them in tar or camphcr, and see that the heavy winter drapcries are folded away, pro- tected from moths. Next take bed spreads and thin curtains and pretty linens and do them and put them away until after the house is cleaned. And, as last helpful step take day to clean bureau drawers and closets.
 An excellent way to wash wOolens and blankets is to use barox in the water. It keeps wool from shr'inkink and colors from streaking, and not on " cleanses thoroughly but antisepti- cally. So that one may have the com fortable feeling that she is not putting away hosts of microbes to accept her hospitality during the quiet spring and then come forth to rend the garments during the summer. All wool blankets are the cherished home of ungrateful germs and borax is their deadly enemy.
 The following is the best possible modern way of washing blankets and fine woolens: Fill tub full of warm water. Add two large tablespoonfuls | of borax and enough white soap to make Q good studs. Throw a blanket in { and squeeze it gently. Do not wiring with the hands, and by no means should a board be used. else the feecy surface will mat into hard little
