Do sonETHlNG WORTH WHILE.

AS Minnesota will celebrate her semi-cent-
inial in 1905" and as there has been some sug-
gestion of holding an exposition to commemor-
ate the event. the Lincoln Journal, OF Lincoln,
Neb. hands out good suggestion to the peo-
pie of the North Star state
minnesota will reach it's semi-centennial
in 1908, says the Journal, at seems that no.
body has been able to think of a more suitable
way to celebrate the rounding out of half
century than to hold exposition So they
are talking of extending the state fair to a
month or six weeks and making it fully as
elaborate an affair as the Lewis and Clark ex-
position last year That may be profitable to
the cities, but it does not seem the most dignif-
ed way for state to observe so important a
date in it's history. A permanent memorial of
some kind would be much more appropriate.
In 1917 Nebraska will reach its Hitch birth
day Before that time arrives possibly some
body will think of a way to commemorate the
date in more suitable way than by erecting
lath and plaster buildings and selling peanuts
and lemonade all summer long. If a beginning
is made now on a suitable historical society
building it will be easy to have the final wing
completed in 1917 That would be memorial
worth while"
In commenting the above, the Mime
apolis Journal has the honesty and good sense
to say, "The only trouble with the foregoing is
that it is so uncon,fortably the TRUTH

could do more suitable than holding exposi-
ton. The. state might replat with trees the

TlCkLlsH PROPOSITION FOR THE STAND
PATTERS.

The proposition before congress, to
used in the reconstruction of San Francisco, is
one which fills the stand-petters with alarm.
Not much Oh account of any loss of pro-
spective gains sales of structural steel,
building hardware, brick, marble fnishings
and lumber, through the competition Of i'm
ported goods for the privilege of supplying an
enormous unexpected demand at the Golden
Gate. Our steel mills and hardware manu-
facturers and lumbermen are all busy-so over
whelmed with orders from customers nearer at
hand-that they will not feel it to any extent
if they don't sell a dollars worth of goods in
the Frisco market during the period of rebuild
ing. But the danger to them is in the object
lesson which the letting down of tariff bars at
Frisco will afford to the dwellers in a thousand
other places. When these see cargoes of build
ing materials imported from Europe and used
in the reconstruction Of the fire swept city, at a
cost perhaps 40 per cent lower than they are
compelled to pay on account OF excessive duties :;
and when they informed that the American
manufacturers who exact from them extra
40 per cent are able, as shown by their sales in
II
dollar of ctua1 INSTRUMENTATION there is likely
to be some very lively questioning of congress
to the why's and wherefores of the stand-pat
policy Of that body
Nevertheless congress should help San Fran
cisco at least to the extent indicated. This will
be better than indorsing that city's bonds for
some $2O,OOO,OOO, as has been suggested. The
latter procedure would afford dangerous pre-
cedent The removal of the duties on building
material would on the contrary involve no par
tcular loss of expected revenues to the govern
ment and would be equivalent TO gift outright
of probably at least $1O,OOO,OOO.
AS for lumber, rebate of the duty of So
per thousand feet would probably bring in as
much of the Canadian product as could be
spared. The American lumberman is rich,
however and is prospecting. So he could stand
the loss of the opportunity affor led by the
Frisco calamity for clapping a few dollars more
on to the present enormously high prices. In
his case, too, however, the spectacle of several
millions of dollars being saved in construction
| work at Frisco would set his customers think
| ing to the disadvantage of the stand-patism
which he finds SO profitable. Incidentally. too
the American forests would be spared some
further devastation to the extent of the importa-
/ tions of lumber from Canada.-St Paul

1T reminds me Of what they used to
say when we were living out along the
Wabash. II you put them in a bag and
shook them up one would come out a skunk
