Bishop Frank w. Warne, who for the
past four years has been in charge OF the
Methodist Episcopal work in southern
Asia and who is visiting with Mrs II. G..
Harrison, 1112 Nicollet avenue, does not
regard the present British expedition into
Tibet in the light Of an invasion altho he
does believe that Tibet will eventually be-
come a British province.
Lord Curzon will live in history, I
think as the very greatest statesman who
ever graced the viceregal throne. He is
autocratic and in many ways bears a
marked resemblance to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Both statesmen exemplify the strenuous
life," said the bishop.
Bishop Warne. who is an athletic Cana
dian, has been stationed in India for sew
enteen years and will return to the far
east In a few months. He Is accompanied
by Mrs. Warne and by Miss Edith Warne.

OPENING OF PUBLIC BATHS
Date for 1t Not Set-Baths at Harriet This
Year.

No date has been set yet for the open
ing of the public baths. The weather does
not incline the people to visions of OPEN
air bathing as yet and very little atten-
ton is given to the matter by the park
authorities. The bathhouse on the north
shore Of Lake Calhoun will be put UP soon
and when it is warm enough the house will
be opened. 1t will be managed exactly
as last year. In all probability special
car service between Hennepin avenue and
the bathing beach will be arranged.
For the first time since the park board
obtained control Of Lake Harriet years
ago. bathing will be permitted at that pop
ular resort. The new pavilion plans in
clude an immense bathing tank and ac-
Communications for large number Of bath
ers. Just what the arrangements will be
cannot be definitely stated as the con-
cessions at Lake Harriet may be sold and
the baths may be included in the deal
In any event. however, the charges will
be no greater than at Lake Calhoun.

Railroad Men Talk Rates.

According to a special dispatch to T h e
u n a from New York, railroad Of
Hclals admit that the present situation
works grave injustice to northwestern
mills, but intimate that nothing can be
done except to let conditions adjust them
selves. A Rock Island official at New
York is quoted as saying:
1T is perfectly true that the absurd dis
organization of rates incident to the Great
Western North Western rate war has
initiated for the time being against the
mills of the northwest. Every railroad
that serves the twin cities deplores the
situation, but what can be done? The
northern divisions cannot disorganize their
schedules and lose money right along be-
cause two other foreign systems south
ward are trying to make object lessons of
one another.
The trouble is that a rate war, even tho
it furnishes the shippers of one section Of
the country with ridiculous rates for a
time. is really injurious to the country at
large as we'll as to the railroads. For
whatever Injuries one must also injure the
other. In these days the shippers the
public and the railroads are closer to-
gether than they were ten years ago
They are so close that they stand or fall
/ together.
The rates We're not raised around the
twin cities, but down south the flour ship
pers got 2-cent rate to Chicago against
a 10-cent rate up north For a time that
created an artificial flour manufacturing
boom in Kansas City, and elsewhere il
that belt, which doubled the output of the
mills down there and put them at decid-
ed advantage with regard to markets
That will all pass away shortly. You will
notice that the war is settled. When the
trade takes it's natural course again, the
twin. cities will become again the grea,
emporium Of the flour trade-as in fac,
they have always been.
President Stickney was quite right If
his recent statement to the effect that any
attempt to make traffic flow along any bu
the natural route must fail in the long run
1t may succeed for a while, but ultimately
just as In this case, the traffic will ge
back to where it belongs It is not natura
that Kansas City should be the milling
center of the northwest. That honor be
