els of grain Of all kinds, and a storage
capacity offf36, 100000 bushels. it looked
as thoE there was much unused room,
and that nothing more in the way i OF
new building was to be expected. f1
It is interesting to note that today
there is total of approximately 81
100000 bushels grain in store here, of
a value Of about $1S,000,000. The
stocks are still increasing, and every
thing indicates that Minneapolis will
shortly be carrying the greatest total
ever shown. - >+.1 Y y
! This; is merely a return to normal
conditions. Minneapolis is the natural
center into which the bulk of the sur
plus crop Of the northwest must come.
AS the crops are marketed there is al
ways a great excess over.the consump-
tive capacity at the time. There must
be q reservoir into which this surplus
can be drawn, to await final demand.
Minneapolis is this great reservoir. Not
only is wheat coming here for storage
in quantity equal to old times, but
coarse grains appear in larger quantity
So far from having reached maximum
it is probable that the terminal eleva
tor capacity of the city will grow tt
considerably larger proportions.

The Petersen Ordinance.

Alderman Pettersen's ordinance re-
curing draymen to. report changes of
address of people whose household
goods they cart from one part OF the
city to another is an excellent and bust
nesslike measure, which ought to be en-
acted. 1t would prove Of great as
sistance to the postoffice and to tele-
graph companies In making deliveries.
OF course people who change address
are expected to protect themselves by
notifying the postoffice Of a change of
address, but many forget or neglect 1t,
and put the carriers to great deal
Of Inconvenience. s..> T.. s'..'.
AS far as the police administration is
concerned it ought to have record of
the moving about from one part of the
city to another Of individuals and fami
lies. It would be more complete if
the draymen were required also to re-
turn a record Of all movings into and
out of the city so far as they have
knowledge Of them. IL. ~ ~ /.
Of course therewould be objection or
the part of some who would look upor
it as a system Of government espion
age, but it is information which the adj
ministration is entitled to have and il
imposes no burden upon the private cit
izen. He does not have to report. Il

Minneapolis Elevator CAPACITY.

A year ago, at about this time, when
the millers Of Minneapolis were dis
turbed over the wheat-supp1y outlook,
when prices were high, and the ques-
ton OF bringing in wheat from the Ca
madam northwest was live one, there
was some little comment heard about
the elevator capacity Of Minneapolis,
and the likelihood that it had reached
maximum. A few days ago the an
nouncement of the building Of another
100000 bushel house was made, indi-
eating that there is still much room
for development
Tt is true that, following the com
paratively short crop of 1904, grain
stocks In Minneapolis elevators were

tostake into account theS temporary ma

Insurgents Defeated Again.

The entire breakdown of the insur-
gent movement \ the. house is due
principally to the fact that Speaker
Cannon and his deputy speakers cannot
afford to let 90 their hold. A defeuti
on the statehood bill would have let
down the bars to parliamentary runa-
Always such as would have made the
speaker and the rules committee look
like three men and a boy rounding up
400 steers. Better far to keep
them in the corral than to drive them.
back in. So thought Uncle Joe and his
assistant cowpunchers: So the fence
is still up and the speaker has the key
of the gate. ~
The progress Of the house toward
innocuous desuetude is merely accentu-
ated by this failure to make a dent in
the castiron rules. Tie house waivers
between anarchy and despotism. If it
tries to rule itself on the principle of
deliberative body 1t fails. If it goes
to the other extreme and puts all the
power in the hands Of the speaker it
suffers humiliation. The house Of com
mons has the same difficulty, but it is
gotten over in a. smoother way there.
The speaker is empowered to stop de-
bate when it degenerates into mere OBJ
struction Of public business, but the
speaker is not a partizan as the Amer
lean speaker is He, is more like an
umpire who sits tight until the rules
are infringed and then lights down
upon the offender. sS> ~
In the American house the majority
is supposed to rule, and it has usually
no difficulty in rulingg-the minority.
Its real trial is ruling itself, and this
it has been able to accomplish only by
surrendering all its individuality to the
speaker.
An insurgent movement may occasion

gallery, but it affects national business

a Necessary Lesson.

Il would seem that by this time
American exporters would have learned
the Importance Of meeting the peculiar
conditions Of successful trade in the
various countries with which they wish
to do business. The consular reports
are still full df instances of such neg
;lect and consequent loss to the Ameri-
can exporter.
SIS S Charles NJ. Pepper, special agent Of
our government in Mexico, furnishes for
the daily. consular and trade reports
issued by our government an instance
Of this failure, which it would seem
ought never to have happened. An
American exporter of chairs was IN IN
structed by the consignee in Mexico
very particularly and infinitely as to
how to bill and how to comply with the
customs regulations. Absolutely no at.
tention was paid to these directions
and fine of $500, Mexican silver, was
imposed by the customs department. of
Mexico. The consignee, of course, was
not inclined to pay this fine without
protesting to the shipper and calling his
attention to the fact that minute direc-
tions had been furnished as to how to
pack and mark the articles dealt in
The shipper refused to recognize any
responsibility and insisted on payment
for his goods in full. This was finally
conceded blythe Mexican importer, but

transactions with that American manu-
facturer are not likely to take place

Secret Of Good Looks.

An English physician, after much
men are better looking than men. He
says that they use their brains SO much
less than men do that all the vitality
goes to good looks. This doctor is one
of the wisest in his land and according
to his theory, men could but on a bet
ter appearance if they had vitality
enough for both work and good looks.
We will all admit that man who has
mental and physical power enough to
handle his task with ease is always
happier consequently better looking.

Lincoln (Neb.) Journal

Lincoln (Neb.) Journal
This. is very early in the season for
Nebraska people to have their attention
called to such things, but Minneapolis is
considerably wrought up over the ques-
ton Of clean sidewalks. It once had an
iron-clad ordinance requiring every lot
owner to keep his sidewalk free from
snow. One Of the wealthy men Of the
city absolutely declined to obey the mu-
nicipal statute, and the result was test
case In the court, which the defendant
won at an expense in lawyers fees equal
to the wages Of a snow shoveler for
seven winters. The ordinance as 1t then
existed was declared to be unconstitu-
tional, and the council passed one that
conforms to the fundamental law Of the
state. but still this particular Individual
refuses to obey If we were chief of
police of that Minnesota city we would
shovel the snow OFF that mans walk and
dump the whole cargo on the front
porch. Isn't it glorious to live where
you don't have to shovel snow?
