A Few Wholesome Truths.

=. T. DOIllVef, junior United States
senator from Iowa delivered a lecture
at Duluth the other evening on "a
Poor Boys Country and a Poor
Mans Government. - He spoke some
great truths when he said: -
''There was never minute in the
history of the country when dollar
stood for as little or man stood for
as much as he does to-day.
u have meditated not little on
the subject of great wealth in the
hands of individuals, and I have come
to the conclusion that if every man
was as poor as am progress would
come to a stop. | believe that a rich
man is Gods best gift to. human So
ciety. ,y,x.
''We must guard our prejudices to
distinguish between big corporations
and bad corporations. :. Any legiti-
mate investment of actual money in a
business enterprise is a good thing.
But we must distinguish between this
and the speculative trust enterprise.
The trust has no friends in the
United States, and no apologies at
the bar of the American people.
Partnership is a great step in advance
in business methods, but at best a
partnership is very unsatisfactory. I
consider the English statute Of 1885
legalizing the incorporation of indus
tries was the greatest step in advance
in the history of business methods. A
corporation presents this great advan-
tage over partnership, that you can
limit the liability to the amount act
ually invested.
lin 1890 congress passed the So
called Sherman antitrust law. The
old trust was d combination of cor
porations whose interests were pooled
by a trustee. The Sherman law Killed
that form of a trust, but it created the
modern trust which is simply great
corporation that has taken over a
number of other corporations. Since
the passage of the Sherman law prac-
tically all that has been done by the
government against the trusts. is the
action of the interstate commerce COM
mission in equalizing freight rates
and the formation of the bureau of
corporations in the department. of
labor and commerce.
The failure of congress to do any,
thing simply shows that the people are
not certain that it is right to take
steps against present business condi-
tons.
II inherited good sound theology
from my parents. I believe that God
made the world and that it is governed
by a little higher wisdom than that
found at the national capitol. Is it
likely that God put $4,000, 600 people
in this great national market place
with no protection against greed and
avarice than law passed by congress
and an occasional enactment of the
State legislatures?''

Duluth Grain.

Duluth News-Tribune, Nov. 29)
The opening on wheat was firm this
morning and higher prices were made
for a time but the market weakened
later and closed with loss of more
than a cent from yesterday. At the
outset Liverpool was higher, but bet
ter news from Argentina caused a de-
cline there and it closed q and s6d
lower. London, Paris and Antwerp
were unchanged A large increase in
the worlds visible supply was re-
ported. In Chicago it was rumored
that Armour was, to bring another
cargo of Canadian wheat to Chicago.
Car receipts at Duluth were .233
against 279 last year, making a total
for the northwest of 1916 against 100
last year. Chicago received 70 cars
against 100 last year. Winnipeg re-
ceived $50 cars against 237 last wear.
In the Duluth market the trading in
futures in wheat was fairly active.
The May option opened 116c higher at
$l.l13s and fell to $1.l11a at 9:47. It
sold back to $l.114 half hour later,
fell to S1.1O% at 10:43, and bulged to
SLIP at l1:13; sold at S1.l115 at
11:25 and dropped. to Sl.1OL at 1908.
Ten minutes later it sold at S1.lQ56
and then dropped to $1.1O at I2:45,
and closed at S1.O81s, loss for the
day of '11sc. The December option
lost l cent. So

WORDS BY ROOSEVELT:

Ills 1eeIarks on the Simple Life, Made in
An Introductory Speech.
In introducing Rev. Charles Wag-
ner, the author of 1.-The Simple Life"
to a Washington audience last week
President Roosevelt said:
"This is the first and will be the
only time during my presidency that
l shall ever introduce speaker to
an audience; and I am more than glad
to 40 it in this instance, because if
there is one book which I should like
to have read as a tract, it is 1.-THE Sim
pie Life" written by Mr.. Wagner.
Il like the book because it does not
merely preach to the rich and does not
merely preach to the poor. What we
need to have impressed upon us is that
it is not usually the root principle of
the vice that varies with variation in
social conditions, but that it is the
manifestation of the vice that varies:
and MIR. Wagner has we'll brought out
the great fundamental truth that the
brutal arrogance of a rich man who
looks down. upon a poor man because
ne is poor, and the brutal envy and
hatred felt by a poor man toward a
rich man merely because he is rich
are, at bottom, twin manifestations of
the same vice: They are simply diff
terent sides of the same shield.
The kind of man that would be ar
rogant in one case is precisely the
kind OF man who would be envious
and filed with hatred in the other.
The ideal should be the just, the gen.
erous: the broad-minded man, who is
incapable of arrogance if rich as he
is of malignant envy and hatred if
poor. (Applause).
mo republic can permanently exist
when it becomes a republic of class,
where the man feels not the interest of
the whole people, but the interest of
the particular class to which he be-
longs, or fancies he belongs, as being
of prime Importance.
1--WE can keep this republic true to
the principles of those who founded.
and OF those who afterward preserved
it, we can keep it a republic at all,
only by remembering that we must
live up to the theory of its founders,
to the theory of treating each man on
his worth as a man; neither holding
it for or against him that he occupies
any particular station in life, so long
as he does his duty fairly and we'll by
his fellows and by the nation as
whole. applause.
The profound regard which I have
always felt for those responsible for
the work of the Young Mems Christ
ian associations and the Young Wo-
mems Christian associations is largely
because they have practically realized,
or at least have striven practically to
realize, the ideal of adherence to tie
text which reads Be doors of the
Word, and not hearers only If you
here to-day came only with the idea
OF passing a pleasant afternoon and
then going home and do not actually
practice somewhat of what Mr.. Wag-
ner breaches and practices, then small
will be the use of your coming.'
