Editorial Section.

The agricultural products of these five
states are greater in value than the
agricultural products Of any other Ave
states in the union, while their manu-
featuring interests are by no means UNI
important.
This convention stands for the estab-s
llshment and maintenance Of a six-foot
channel at low water from Minneapolis
to st. Louis, distance of 700 miles.
1t is estimated that this can be accom-
plished at cost Of $15,000,000 and the
congressional delegations OF these states
are expected to exercise the necessary
influence upon congressional action to
secure in the form Of annual appropria-
tions enough money to carry out this
magnificent project.
No part of the country will benefit
more from this improvement than the
northwest, and no city derive greater
advantages from the accomplishment of
this result than the city of Minneapolis.
In the construction of. the locks and
dams between this city and St. Paul
the government is already committed to
the establishment Of the head of navi-
cation at st. Anthony falls. This work
is already we'll advanced. Upon it's
completion together with the other
necessary Improvements along the up
per river, Minneapolis will have within
her limits harbor from which may be
floated the products of our mills and
factories and fields to tide-water- at
New Orleans, and on which will be re-
ceived the products Of the south, it's
rice, it's cotton and it's coal at such rates
of transportation as will make Of Min
neapolis the great distributing center
for the interior of the continent.
We are quite aware that this antici-
patton is scoffed at and derided by some
prominent railroad men, but that such
Judgment is entirely disinterested and
unprecedented will hardly be believed
by anyone who has given any attention
to the figure which water transportation
cuts in the commerce of other countries
older than ours.

A Significant Movement.

Cooperation instead of competition
as the proper relation of one church
denomination to another is to be en-
phasized at a great convention to be
held in New York city Nov. Is. This
convention will represent twenty-six
different denominations and 100000
communicates.
The effect Of this conference upon the
interests Of the church at large cannot
be other than important, perhaps mo-
mentous. The substitution of cooper
alton for competition, of community Of
interest If we may borrow phrase
from commercial life-for rivalry
amounting sometimes to jealousy cannot
but magnify greatly the effectiveness
Of all religious effort.
It need not be expected that denomi-
national lines will be wiped out. It is
not desirable that they should be. It is
inevitable that men should differ in
minor matters of, religious belief and
as to forms and methods of church or
ganization and government, but it is
deplorable that men desirins and work
ing for substantially the same end
should deprive themselves and their
cause Of the advantages ( } combina-

Look Out Below

Public safety on the downtown
streets requires city ordinance to
protect pedestrians from objects fall
ing from upper story windows. New
York has a regulation Of the kind, and
loose articles are not allowed to be
kept on window lodges there. The dan
ger is more apparent in the metropolis
than here, but little observation will
show the need Of it in MINNEAPOLIS.
There are hundreds Of people living in
third or fourth story apartments with
windows directly over the street.
Window boxes, plant pots and articles
Of all kinds are set, out on the lodges,
where a slight push. or "a gust of wind
is likely to send them hurtling to the
sidewalk below.
It ought not to be necessary to wait
until somebody is killed or seriously in
jured before taking the proper precau-
tions. The pedestrian is entitled to
protection, and in this connection there
is too much carelessness about new
buildings and repair. work, to s.shield
passersby from falling bricks, tools and
other articles. People who walk abroad
in city street understand very we'll
the need Of caution, but there is no
need to multiply their dangers.

slderation IN religious activity 10 large
II responsible for the existence in many
communities Of a state Of. competition
and rivalry between weak and strug-
Cling churches which has not only mini
mixed the results, but provoked if not
justified much Of the criticism and I'M
friendly Judgment Of the church.
Already there is a tendency away
from this condition Of rivalry toward
one of cooperation, manifesting itself
not only in the combination-the ANAL
gamation, so to speak Of struggling
churches in the smaller towns into one
or two large and effective organiza-
tions, but the same spirit is exhibited IN
the disposition Of the large churches in
the cities to so order their mission
work and to so establish their outposts
as not to interfere unnecessarily with
fields already occupied by other
churches holding to the same essentials
in belief.
This movement toward greater har-
mony and concord of action is in keep
ing with that now general anticipation
and desire among the churches for a re-
vival Of religious zeal, and is calculated
to contribute materially to its reaiiza-
ton. It is a get-together movement in
which minor differences and relatively
unimportant interests will become sub
ordinate to the one great purpose OF
bringing men to look upon things OF
time and eternity according to their
true relative Importance. '..

Defending Great Britain.

Great Britain is in the throes Of a
lingo movement for compulsory mill
tary service. It's advocates point to
the vast extent Of the British empire
and the weakness Of each element in it
when exposed to attack from an enemy
Of England. The Boer war showed
that England with difficulty overcame
a small people fighting on their own
soil and in their own way. 1t is point
ed out that if the Beers had been re-
'inforced by even one of England g
many enemies, the South African cam
paign, from the condition Of a stale
mate, might easily have passed to that
of disastrous reverse. Hence the
argument for a great army.
The counter argument is that Eng
land had she large army compared
with her present standing force, would
still have small one compared with
Russia or Germany, the countries most
likely to attack her.
England's true policy, they main.
tain, is not to exert herself to rival
these lands in ornaments, but to keep
command Of the sea and depend fol
land defense upon volunteers. If any
remote portion Of the empire was at
tackled, it could probably be overrur
whether England had large or 8
small army at home, since it could not
be Immediately transported to Indis
| or Canada or South Africa. But mean
| while the great navy Of England woule
get in its work upon the enemy, dam
aging it SO severely at home that Al
the close Of the war it would be glat
to give back its conquests.
