changed in this respect. The question
Of issuing the report at 3 pm or at
IL am. is one of whether it is not bet
ter to hold the reports off the markets
until they close, to avoid the shock.
The objection is that European mar
kets get the full reports first and have
a chance to analyze them and act on
them. 's.-,
The thing needed in the statistical
bureau is honesty. If the department
went on collecting the data and gave
out only an annual report it would seem
that the pressure upon it for secret in
formation would be even stronger than
at present. The other extreme PROPOSE
ton is the immediate publication Of all
data. There are objections to this, the
possibility Of error and lack of time to
correct it, for one thing. The present
plan of issuing monthly reports appears
to strike in between the two.
The work Of the department. should
be continued, with such moderate chan.
ges as may suggest themselves during
the investigation now going on.
The principal remedy for scandals
would appear to consist in finding a
method of compilation that will not put
it entirely upon the honor Of the man in
charge, but, for his own protection, as
we'll as the protection Of others, will
make it impossible for information tc
leak out.

announces that the annual auction sale
of spaces, privileges and concessions
will take place on the fair grounds on
Saturday, Aug. 5, commencing carly in

competition for the best positions and
special concessions.

Western Canada fair and exposition.
He reports it good show with good
attendance. While there he saw Cacei-

serves another, Conductor Emil Ober-
hotter will follow last nights successful
''Stabat Mater program by an Italian
opera" special tonight He hopes to be
as much in favor Of the public as he and
his musicians were last night. The espe-

exemplified in the "Lucca'' and I'll Trov-

of Puccini and Mascagni.

To the Editor of The Journal.
I was pleased to read the editorial in

Law a joker" criticising the sheriff Of
Ramsey county for the suicide of Gott-
schalk. While the severe arraignment
and criticism was in entire accord with
the highest sense Of civil law and gov
eminent, let us go further and ask
whether it is the intent of the law and in
accord with ideal government to carry
out the enforcement of such a law
for the entertainment Of the people gen.
orally, and whether it is not a just re-
Duke to- the sheriff of Ramsey county and
a severe rebuke to his superiors to plan
and to allow a great exhibition and as it
WERE Of an entertainment. as was planned
in this particular case? Who would
be responsible for the consequences of
such a show? Ought not the public to
be thankful that his plans were frus>
trated and that the execution of Grimm
ais and the enforcement of law has not
been lowered to such a standard Of moral
sensibility?
If it were otherwise, len we have
refrigerated in civilization to at least the
moral and depraved sensibilities equal to
that existing at the. time of the French
revolution.
It would seem that the resignation of
such an official ought to be demanded by
| public sentiment. j. B.

REWARD FOR INFORMER
Old Ordinance Against Defacing Gene
terry Property Is Dug Up.

Few residents Of the city are aware
that there is bounty for giving infor-
nation of any damage to cemetery prop
erty, as the old law has long since
been forgotten. In going thru the COM
pilatior of the city ordinances today
City Clerk Lydiard ran across an .ordi-
nance passed June %. 1860, providing
for the punishment of persons caught
cutting, injuring or removing any
flower. plant, shrub or tree in any Gene
terry or private burial ground or de-
facing or iniuring fences, tombstones
or graves in such cemeteries. The ordi--
nance further provides that one-half of
the fine shall be paid to the informer.
The ordinance, which is one of the
Oldest now remaining on the books. is
believed to be the only one providing
a bounty for bringing violators of the
law to Justice.

The Crop Report Scandal.

With reference to that part of the
Washington crop scandal that bears
upon the tobacco report, a mere nothing,
round cipher, came close to putting
additional blame upon the department.
The final report had been held up owing
T to the fact that in certain important
!, tobacco-producing districts a large in
crease in acreage had been shown, but
men outside the department, familiar
with the tobacco areas, had pronounced
& it too high. Investigation showed them
8 to be correct, and that the department
in multiplying 326 by 100 had made the
!. total $4,000 instead of $4,000. Thus
was the department saved, for had the
: original figures been allowed to stand
the charge would almost certainly have
been made that the tobacco trust had
hand in the deal, such is the suspicion
now attaching to the statistical bu-
reau. -s- In *.s,"
1t is bad thing for the department.
B to have these things coming out, altho
S the excuse is that the discharging of a
number of important men made the
error possible. The department never
theless is much better off without these
d important men if all that has been said
about them is true.

The Middle West and Minnesota,

THE Great Central Market - mag
azlne OF business published in Chicago,
prints in it's July number a remark
able article on the progress of the mid
die west. Taking up belt Of states,
including Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan,
Indiana, Wisconsin,, Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska.
North and South Dakota, Iowa and Min
nesota, it shows that these states have
in two decades, from 1880 to 1900,
gained remarkably in manufactures as
well as in agriculture.
In 1880 the great manufacturing
states of New York, Pennsylvania, Mas
sachusetts and New Jersey, turned out
% per cent of the finished products of
the United States. In 1900 these states
produced only 43 per cent of the maun-
features, while the middle west, which
had produced only 80 per cent in 1880,
furnished 81 per cent.
In agricultural advancement the mid
die west makes marvellous showing
In the two decades from 1880 to 1900
the value of farm lands in the fifteen
states in this grouping underwent an
advance of $5,689,00O 900, or 70 per cent
of the total increase of the United
States.
In the value of farm products there
was an increase of 1919, 43O,963, or CT
per cent of the entire increase of the
United States.
In the value Of domestic animals
there was an increase of 1,547, 1927, 1877
or 81 per cent Of the entire country 3
increase.
In banking capital a most remark
able showing has been made BY these
fifteen states. In 1904 the capital
reached 100000, or 81 per cent Of
all the banking capital of the country
The individual deposits were $2,717,oOO,
600, or 81 per cent Of the whole country
The analysis by states is most inter
esting and the showing made by Mime
sofa must be gratifying to every citizen
of the state. The population Of the
state in 1904 is given at 1895, 900, which
agrees very fairly with the expected
returns OF the state census Of 1905. III
the value of agricultural products il

most remarkable progress was made il
I manufactures. In 1900 the state hat
