Justice to q, Great Industry.

When the Minneapolis representa-
tives appeared recently before the
interstate commerce commission at
the New York hearing in the matter
of discriminating rates, they made
some very able arguments and did a
world of good in an educational way.
Not many who heard them were ia
miliar with the main facts concern
ing the great industry in which Min
neapolis predominates. Mr.. G. c..
Bovey Of Minneapolis, who presented
the millers' side Of the question,
made out so good a case that the
members Of the commission and the
railroad men present were compelled
to admit the justice Of the Minneapo-
lis stand against the demoralizing
rates then only recently in force, and
the necessity for some measure of
prevention.
Mr.. Bovey showed that the value
of the millers' product is exceeded
only by that Of the steel mills and the
packing houses, and that the flour
mills of the country represent a cap
ital investment of $216, 100000. Col
lectively the American mills could
produce $4,000 barrels of flour in
one day. This, of course, they have
never done, but the capacity exists,
that, on the basis of operation at
maximum for 800 days in year,
would mean the consumption of
HOO, 100000 bushels of wheat. The
country produces only about half as
much, or between 6O0,0OO,00O and
700, 100000 bushels annually, so it is
very plain that instead Of exporting
115,O00,000 to 150,0O0,00O bushels of
wheat a year the country should
really export none, but ought to make
1t all into flour, to the greater ad-
vantage of the American millers, con-
sumers, farmers and mill employees
A short time ago two big railroads
were engaged in rate war, and rates
on wheat to the seaboard were cut to
absurdly low figures, flour rates re-
naming unchanged. While this war
was on there was a long period, Mr.
Bovey says, during which a miller in
Liverpool might have bought wheat
at Buffalo, taken it to Liverpool
ground it into flour there, shipped II
back to New York state, and me-
competition of New York or other
American mills in their home market
Naturally it was preposterous to ex.
| pect American millers to sell theil
American ground product in Liver,
| pool or London. -
The millers have never asked the
government to do very much for then
and they have no favors to ask now
A fair show is all they ask and they
have not been getting it. Some
means must be found to prevent the
recurrence of demoralizing expor
rates on wheat without corresponding
reductions in flour rates, for, even t.
the question of fairness be laid aside
it is obviously wrong for the govern
ment to permit conditions to main
tain that put so tremendous a handi
cap upon the third largest industry il
the United States.

AN APPRECIATION

In a paper before the Minnesota
state Medical association Dr.. r. o.
Beard OF Minneapolis said:
The medical profession Of the state
should take heart OF hope from the
fact that a higher sense OF public
duty is growing up In the profession
of journalism, and it should applaud
the announcement that, among the
more representative newspapers, The
Minneapolis Journal has purged its
columns of Objectionable medical
advertising.

An interesting case for politicians to
study Is that of Samuel Fessenden of
Connecticut, who, after twenty years Of
logged fighting, has secured control Of
the state republican machine. Fessenden
fixed his eyes on the United States senate
in 1884, when he was prominent Blaine
boomer, and has kept his object in view
ever since. The only way for Fate to
double on Mr.. Fessenden now is to turn
the state over to the democrats.

Judge Brewer at the peace conference
suggested that it was not consistent to
favor a big navy and pose as an advocate
of peace measures. Judge Brewer is a
wise man, but other men equally as wise
think that a big navy is first rate peace

thing like that, as a means of avoiding
