The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-09-13


Business men of st. Paul were ,anx-
ious yesterday to express their appre-
citation of 7 h e lilo b e S dennonstra-
ton by incontrovertible facts that
prosperity has camped in the North
west for an indefinite stay.
Many of the men who volunteered to
say to T h e G 10 b how pleased they
are at the newspaper activity which
seizes on a situation and displays it in
the proper light to the world, said that
they themselves were really enlight-
ened at the disclosures as TO the 6nan7.
cial and industrial situation in the
Northwest. They were cognizant of the
facts, but the matter had been pre-
sented to them in new light.
Scores of the leading men in the job
bling, manufacturing and retail trade
of the city told representatives of h e
u b e yesterday that they could
think of no higher service to the city,
the states and the entire Northwest
than by putting before the public at
large the truth of the crop situation in
the Northwest.
They said there had been so many re-
ports, circulated in some - instances
purely in the hope of influencing the
market quotations of the staples of the
bread basket of the world, that the
public has been at loss whom to be-
lleve. Here are some of the comments:
! j. w. Cooper, Vice President Griggs,
Cooper & Co., GrocersI agree entirely
with the spirit of TIL e G o e in pub
fishing that article about the business
situation in the Northwest 1t is true
there has been more or less calamity
talk and refreshing, vigorous article
like that in TIL e G O cannot but be
a good thing
R. A. Kirk, President Farwell, Or
num-. Kirk & Co., Hardware-Th e
G e was right and did a. creditable
thing when it impressed upon the

Northwest by reason of the shortness
of the wheat crop
d. B. Finch, President Finch, Young
d McConville, Dry Goods = Certainly
L h Clio e was right in publishing
so prominently the article touching
business conditions in the Northwest.
The spirit of pessimism is one that
grows without help and some persons
are disposed to follow a lead although
they know that the end of the road is
in the bottom of a pit. The truth about
the crop conditions and their relation
to business life in the whole section
was mighty good news and from our
standpoint good newspaper enterprise.
w. B. Dixon, Northwestern Passen-
ger Agent Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul-That's the stuff The Clio b e

George D. Rogers, City Passenger
Agent Northern Pacific-The feeling of
pessimism that followed the first re.
ports of damage to wheat in the, North

| A. M. Cleland, General Passenger

an article like that in the Sunday
G o e was particularly timely.
| T. w. Teasdale, General Passenger
| agent Omaha = I commend 7 h
| G o b on such a piece of newspaper
enterprise as that article Sunday. 1t
was the truth, and while most of us
