A Double Victory.

III It was clear Minnesota grit that won
Sthe day at Chicago Saturday afternoon.
VI The barring Of Captain Strathern was
sa blow that would have disorganized
many a football team. He was the
keystone Of the Minnesota line, and the
veteran leader whose very. presence in
spired confidence. His eleventh hour re-
movA was enough to shake that feeling
gof ability to do, without which no team
4can be at it's best.
& Minnesota was obliged to enter the
game with lineup never tried in prac-
Itice. The perfect scoring machine de-
pveloped by the seasons work was
broken and went into the contest with
ii hasty patching up. Under the cir
Scnmstances it is no wonder that the ir-
Irresistible offense did not get into work
iing order during the early period of the
game. The wonder is that9it was not
eparalyzed. Yet in a few minutes time,
which was. really practice instead Of a
Rpotball game, the new machine learned

will regret that the unfair action Of
Northwestern prevented Chicago from
seeing the maroon and gold eleven in
strue championship form. The game on
sMarshall field showed Minnesota g

the team could not move with the speed
shown against Wisconsin. However,
Ssevery Minnesotan will glory in the
snerve and resourcefulness that rallied
$50 beautifully and outplayed the much
stputed men from Evanston, in every de-
apartment of the game.
! Tho Strathern incident reflects no
kdrcdit on Northwestern, and.sit brings
adut clearly the unfairness Of a protest
ION the eve Of a game. Protests should

Scarcity Of Common School Teach

Complaint is made by the state nor
NAL school board that the supply of
trained teachers is, not sufficient to
meet the increased demands Of the Min
nesota graded and rural schools. The
reason given is that the school authori-
Ties are demanding a higher standard
/ for their teachers, and are no longer
satisfied to take any person who holds
/ q certificate. Even in the rural schools
] they are demanding either experience
or special training. 5. q *#
l This is noadoubt true, and it reflects
] credit on the state school system when
school boards take such. care in select
ing teaching talent. But there seems
to be another reason for this scarcity
5 of teachers for the graded and rural
schools. -.
The young people who are coming to
maturity and self-support are setting a
higher standard for themselves. They
are not tempted by salaries of $40 to
$50 month, to be attained after three
or four years Of expensive preparation.
While getting an education and train
ing for life work, they prefer to- drink
deeper Of wisdom and prepare for bet
ter things. For this reason they are
Aoeking to technical schools and to the
universities and colleges. They will
spend more time and money to start
with, but most of them are able to do
it, or have grit enough to make the
necessary sacrifice, and in the long run
they will be better off. If they. are
to teach, they want to teach in high
schools or colleges, where the work is
more congenial and brings better re-
turns. .~* =. ,
The result is that the supply Of in
gtructors for institutions Of higher ed
ucation is sufficient in quantity, if not
in quality, while the common schools,
where the children Of this generation
get their educational grounding, have
great trouble in securing satisfactory
teaching corps Outside the Large cities
this condition is especially marked. 4.
There seems to be only one way to
h bring better talent into the common
schools. That is to- offer better sala,
cries. While the wages of teachers are
somewhat higher than they were ter
ayears ago, they have not kept pace
aWith the increased cost Of living o,
with the advanced salaries offered fo]
sother lines Of work. If the school au
Hthorities want to increase the supply
Sof trained teachers, they will have tt
increase the temptation. '-f&5S IF

large part why American trade in Scan
dinavia as a whole has not increased as
it is entitled to do under all the cir
cumstances. He says:
Germany and Great Britain have more
than half the import trade, and their
sales are chiefly made by travelling sales
men. These travelling statesmen make reg
ular trips along the west coast, studying
carefully, by personal contact with the
merchants, the needs of the country. In
the season a constant stream of statesmen
from these countries travels up and down
this coast introducing their goods. The
Germans rely very little on catalogs, but
send their agents, who are usually con-
versant with the language The German
salesman is no great rush, but goes quiet
ly along obtaining the details of his line
and remains until he has as full knowl-
edge Of the trade conditions as it is pos
sibie to obtain The English send sales
men, but depend more on correspondence
and local agents than does Germany.
Sweden and Denmark also send some
statesmen. The countries of Smaller i'm
ports, including the United States, de-
pend almost entirely on correspondence
and catalogs, using local agents when any
other method is used.
Bulk of the Trade.
No figures as to the bulk of American
trade are given, but it is said that
Great Britain and Germany, with a
total of about $42,0O0,O0O, have slightly
more than one half of Norway IS import
trade.
In Sweden the total value of the i'm
100000. as compared with $8,0OO,000
less the year before. The United States
is eighth in the list of outside countries
in the amount of its trade with Sweden,
and its total for last year was practl-
cally $3,50O,OOO, as compared with over
half a million less for the year before.

Railroads. as an Industrial Index

Railroads. as an Industrial Index.
An eastern estimator, who has been
tabulating reports from every section Of
the country, is authority for the state
ment that since election day no less
than forty thousand men have been TAX
en- on by the railroads Of the United
States. Confronted by a sudden in.
crease in tonnage offerings, the roads
have forced all extra equipment into
use, have placed orders for new roll
ing stock, and, to man the trains, keep
clear the terminals, relieve the clerical
forces, from the pressure Of work, and
handle the increasing business satisfac-
torily and expeditiously, have called
back the men laid off during the, sum
mer, and hired. many more besides.
What need, then, to dwell upon the
Improvement in the industrial field,
when the effect Of it is already so
clearly SEEM The prediction that the
election, Of the republican, presidential
candidate would bring about general
revival of business has been more than
borne out. Every state sends it's good
reports, and every industry, where there
are no labor troubles, or conditions pc
culiar to it interfere, shows increased
activity. There can be no doubt, that,
turning on the election as a pivot, the
country has put behind it all things
pessimistic, and is in for long period
Of hopefulness,. Of good business and
good times. ., g., -. ) i:-. !
!. # there shall be no boom, such as fol.
lowed the election Of Mckinley, it will
be good thing. The country can
forge ahead steadily, and giant strides
4 can be, made, without fear of disas
i trous reaction, provided. the pace is not
too fast. There is room for world OF
development in legitimate way, an6
for legitimate enhancement of values
in many investment lines, and every
thing so far indicates that it is this
). sort Of good times period that il
i opening rather. than one Of quick infa
t1on and later collapse.
r. One of the most gratifying feature,
, of the situation is the prosperity of tn,
! farmer, especially in the northwest
While individual cases of slow pay ex
ist, the northwestern farmer has read,

> This is well illustrated by the position

l preached by the mortgagors with over
r lures for immediate settlement Of par

There can be little depression Will
the farmer has money, for he is back 0
all prosperity in the final count.

Speaking Of the fact that Judge Brown,
who was on both tickets, got less votes
than some whose names appeared on the
republican ticket only, the Tribune says:
We suspect that there is another ex-
plana ton more mplimentary to the
public intelligence. May it not be that
the appearance of one name on both tick
cts repels more votes than 1t attracts?
In the old method republicans would
have voted for Judge Brown as a repub-
lican and democrats would have voted for
him as democrat, without either realiz-
ing that he was on the other ticket. In
the present method he stares both in the
face as republican democrat. We can
imagine that this would cost him many
votes of men on both sides who take their
party seriously.
