Purpose of Morocco Affair

THAT he should suddenly reverse this policy, mere

is Incredible and under the circumstances the acton
of the Emperor in connection with the AlgeclraS
conference tends to create the impression that II he
has made there determined fight against France
in this particular matter 1t IS with the object OF
increasing the value of the concessions in Europe
which he purposes to demand at the last moment
as the price of his abandonment OF the position
which he has assumed in Morocco. When he has
brought France and Germany TO the brink OF war
in connection with the Moorish question, and
when the people of both countries are face to
face with a repetition of the boodshed and hor-
rors of the conflict of six-and thirty years ago.
not alone France, but also most of the other
foreign Powers, will be ready to pay almost any price

for Williams surrender of his claims in Morocco.
What that price will be, is matter for speculation.
But unless | am much mistaken it will be in the
nature of recognition of Germany's claims to
predominance in Belgium and in the Netherlands,
and the withdrawal of all objections to the admission
of these two countries into the federation of the
Teuton Empire Germany has long had eye
upon these two Kingdoms which in most of her

same color as the Vdtrldud, with the object of
impressing upon the minds of the younger gener-
alton that they are destined long to form part
and parcel of the kdisertjnm.
As for Belgium, it is generally understood that,
in spite of official denIalS, secret convention OF
military character exists between Leopold and
William, according to the terms of which Germany
has the right march her troops into the Kingdom
and to take possession of the powerful detenSes OF
Antwerp in the event of a European Indeed

international congress at Ageclras, which may
have been brought TO a successful conclusion, or
have resulted lasCO, this article appears IN

of the columns upon columns that have been pub

interviews with leading statesmen foreign capitals

No one in his senses will believe for one moment
that so clever a monarch as Emperor William would
be willing enlist all Germany in an armed struggle
with France for the sake of Morocco. Germany s
commerce with France IS a hundred times more
valuable than any interests which she may have at
present or that she hope to obtain IN the
Moorish sultanate, and with France would
not only destroy the growing trade between the
nelghborng countries, but would also rum

spreading misery and destitution for years to come
on both sides of the Nosges. Ever since Emperor
William accession the throne eighteen years ago,

prominent railroad man repeats
with great enjoyment a story that he
had from a conductor on one of the
limited trains between New York and
the west. 1t appears that dapper
chap in the first chair car had man
aged to become unusually friendly
with an attractive young woman in
an adjoining seat. When the train
pulled into Buffalo the masher, in TAX
ing leave of the fair one, remarked:
do you know, must thank you for
an awf'lly, awf'lly pleasant time, but
I'm afraid you wouldn't have been so
nice to me had you known that l was
a married man." "Oh, as to that"
quickly and pleasantly responded the
charming young woman, you haven't
the least advantage of me. l am an
escaped lunatic."

families to house, and five times that
many to feed and clothe 1t probably
means the paying out of $4,000 cash
during the year in salaries, and this
money circulates at home-among the
merchants, the butchers, the grocers,
the farmers and the ministers.
That this money is an advantage to
the community, and that it makes
more business than it would if it
were circulated at Minneapolis or
Chicago is an elementary proposition,
What would be the beneficial re-
suits if this were increased ten fold?
Instead of fifty-fve families there
would be five hundred fifty; instead of
one hundred seventy-five people there
would be seventeen hundred fifty; in
stead of $4,000 being paid out in a
year there would be $3.50, OOO-more
than half million.

excellent Judgment, and the supporting
company is more than SUFFICIENT.
Years have dealt gently with the
star, and her twenty odd-mind the
odd-summers have left her unscath-
ed. both in beauty and voice. The
tendency to avoidupois which was no
ticeable when she sang at the Orphe-

days are recalled when she warbled

"Dorcas" is tuneful, and John e.
Young interjects a delightful humor
which creates longing to see him In

about it nothing of the low comedy,
which depends upon cheap tricks. It
is clean, pure comedy. The theme of
the opera is slight, but like the Biddle
family of Philadelphia, its ramifica-
tions are infinite in their variety.
There is bit of real music; two bits
of topical songs, and dollars worth f

clearness, and the little tricks of artic-
ulation which are all her own remain.

Fulton. Two encores were insisted
upon. Miss Weathersby, with her Mrs.

excellent in every way, and to those

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

The unprecedented success with
which the Golden Grain Biscuit COM
pany has met may be accepted as a
positive proof that what The Evening
Times has always contended for in the
way Of many factories in the city,
especially those which utilize the
grain products of the Northwest.
This concern was started in a small
way and is now we'll established
and good paying institution.
Everything made from flour, as we'll
as a large number Of the side lines,
such as barley, rye and similar pro-
ducts, is manufactured.
These things, however, only point a
moral
There should be ten times as much
of this class of enterprises in the city
as there is.
1t is not the policy Of The Evening
Times to reduce the proftableness of
enterprises already established in the
city, or for that matter in the state,
by encouraging competition in limit
ed field. But it believes that in MANY
fields partially occupied there is room
for many others made possible by the
simple process of charging the field
of consumption.
In the case of the Golden Grain Bis
cult company they are hardly able to
I'LL their orders with force working
both day and night, and their field is
limited to the northern portions of
North Dakota and Minnesota.
They are able to make grade of
goods that sell on their merits to any
one. II they can do this in the terri
tory they cover, why could they not
so into other sections and do the same
thing? There is but on eanswer posi-
bic. They are unable to manufacture
enough goods to supply the trade.
The commercial religion of The
Evening Times is that factories sufB-
GENTLY large to meet such require
ments should be had either by enlarg-
Ing those already here or by creating
additional ones.
The facilities for this line of man
ufacturing are more available here
than In any other part of the country.
This is not true of course, of many
things. such for instance, as steel or
cotton or leather. But in bread stutrs
It is certainly the dread basket of the

employs fifty-fiye people. Not all Of
them are heads Of families. but II they

His Most important Work,

A reporter recently took a journey
of considerable length for the purpose
of interviewing a rising literary light
as to his novel. On reaching the house
he discovered the author seated in his
garden, engaged in earnest conversa-
ton with little boy who had a large
towel pinned round hisaneck. The au-
thor received his visitor cordially, but
seemed rather absent-minded. "Are
you willing to tell me a little about
your next important work." asked the
reporter. The literary man clicked a
pair of shears and patted the boy on
the shoulder. 1--WE were just talking
about it as you came up" he said.
Willie thinks ought to do it with a
bowl, but think l can do it without.
What would you advise. You see, his
mother has always cut it before, but
she's away just now"
