Diaz Has Builded Well.

HERE is strong undercurrent Of hostility to
4 President Diaz Of Mexico among the old aris-
tocracy and the clergy, according to William E.
Curtis who is writing letters from the southern
republic to the Record Herald On the surface every
body is for Diaz, and The Mexicans careful not
to talk politics with foreigners, but the old Spanish
traditions still strong among the grandees, and
they would be glad to return if they could to
monarchy. =. +. ...s~ ~ ~
The Diaz government is not monarchy in form,
but in fact amounts to about the thing. The
difference is that the old rstocracy not recognized
and therefore is not satisfied with the regime. Diaz
rules absolutely and by the results he has achieved
in thirty years he has DEMONSTRATED that he knows
what Mexico needs. The nation has emerged from
political chaos and industrial paralysis to- condition
of stable government, efficient protection for capital
and growing industrial prosperity. The firm hand
Of Daz is just what the nation has needed in such
period Of transition It is too late now for a
reaction. After Diaz, it is hardly probable that
another leader and strong will be found but
with the experience the nation has had it should be
able to continue peaceful. It may be hard to hold
down the ebultions Of political rivalry but the great
commercial and industrial interests that have deve
oped in the nation will not forfeit what they have
They will not permit return to the conditions Of

Steenerson Bill Popular.

n ONGREssMAN HALVOR STEENERsON has sue
- ceeded in framing federal drainage act which
receives the unqualified support of Maxwe's Tails
man, the organ of forestry and irrigation The Steen
erson bill does not suit all Of the irrigation boomers
because it will divert some revenues now used on
irrigation work to employ them in draining swamp
lands and making them fit for agriculture. It must
appeal to every reasonable man, however, for 1t IS
absolutely fair While conceived for the purpose OF
draining lands in northern Minnesota, 1t is made
national in its scope. .s 8.4s5gES
Under the terms sthe bill all receipts from the
sale Of public lands in thirteen states, Alabama,
Arkansas Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio
and Wisconsin, to be turned nto drainage fund.-
and spent under the authority of the reclamation
service. The process of taking surplus water of the
land will be handled in the same way the present
land will be sold to actual settlers only in pieces of
40 to l6O and the cost Of drainage will be paid
by the purchaser in ten annual installments.
Outside of the Indian reservations, about all the
swamp land in Minnesota belongs to the state under
the grant Of 1862 but it is worth nothing till it is
drained, and the state can do the work only on g
small scale. With the aid Of the federal fund the
drainage of northern Minnesota would progress far
more rapidly The Steenerson bill provides for turn
ing over state lands to the federal government when
the latter desires to drain them and for cooperation
between federal and state drainage services. ss =
The provisions of this bill would not only help
Minnesota, but would bring benefcent results to all
the other states named 1t is stated that even
Illinois, rich and populous it lis from end to end,
has 100000 acres of swamp land unfit for culti
vation Florida and Louisiana have vast tracts that
under drainage will become immensely productive of
sugar cane, cotton etc The steenerson bill should
receive general support and if it passes the Crookston
man will have achieved a triumph in legislation It
would be splendid boost for Minnesota in the states
efforts to turn swamps into farms. 1*4+l* -.

The Russian Dourna.

u s MAKER of history the Russian douma bids
A fair to excel the record Of the legislative
assembly which the poor king was forced to
the of the French revolution. The suation of
the has points of similarity to that of the fated
French monarch. He did not call the douma until
the rising tide of revolution taught him that the days
of bureaucracy He has not called it with
any very specific idea of what he is to do with it. It
seemed convenient escape from chaos just as the
states general seemed to Louis buffer between
himself and anarchy Louis failed to placate the
people. Nicholas may succeed because conditions
different. The world has advanced. Education has
made progress Christianity is more real. But
luton is not impossible.
The douma has frankly pointed out to the czar
the intoerabe conditions under which the Russian
people working It demands. the abolition Of the
death penaltythat convenient weapon Of the tyrant,
of coercve and oppressive laws and Of the detention
Of persons without trial It demands full civil liberty
requests the recognition Of the trades unions suggests
the modification of the fundamental law to include
responsibility of the ministry to the parliament. 1t
apparently favors single chamber Legislature for it
objects to the continuation of the council of the
empire as upper house and would have it reduced
to advisory board somewhat like the privy council
of Great Britain, which includes all the who
ministers, but which is in itself nothing but
ment to the state. s.t ~. IL ~ ~ H.
The agraran demands Of the douma include the
appropriation of lands. The forcible dspossession
of many of the bloated andhoders Of Russia and the
turning of the lands to the peasantry for cut
walton is necessary to the life of the state 1t is
process similar to the land acts for ireland whereby
the owners may be legally dspossessed against their
will by commission which, after hearing, fixes the
value Of the lands and awards title to, actual settlers
who apply for portions Of them There is compensa-
tion, of course. Whether the Russian douma con-
templates buying out the landowners is not clear,
but probably not there is not money enough either
in the public treasury or in the pockets of the
peasants to do it. But there is moral justification
for the dispossessng Of many Of the holders
who have with the land power to perpetuate
dition Of serfdom in Russia.
The douma's program is large It will not
be put thru without many bitter conflicts, but the
in which the douma has gone about its work is
significant of the assurance that it has stated the
minimum demands not of the douma merely, but Of
the people of Russia. E.

Another Hill Vision.

II OLLIN E. SMITH, whose letter in The Jour
IN al this week from Antwerp, presents an inter-
esting view of that rather quaint market, where
much business is done in old-fashioned ways Mr..
Smith IS summary is unusually interesting, for it bears
upon the commercial methods and possibilities Of the
third port of the world and the principal gateway to
continental Europe, thru which great quantities of
American breadstuts pass every year, and douby in
teresting in that it comes at time when attention
is being drawn to the diminishing Importance of our
country as an exporter of raw wheat. Mr.. James J.
Hill, who has great plan for building lines Of
railroad in the Canadian northwest, In his address
to the business of Winnipeg, touched upon the
increasing home consumption of wheat By 1910, Mr..
Hill says, there will be 10o,ooo000 people in the
United States. Home consumption, all requirements
included to about six and onehalf bushels per
capita. Our wheat may increase but is not likely
to increase in proportion to consumptve require
ments. The time is close at hand when country
will fall out permanently from the list Of wheat
porting countries, and become importer.
This statement of Mr.. Hill has aroused general
practical interest in the wheat problem Everything
bearing upon it is being read. Mr.. Smith s
ering of the foreign markets. and Mr. Hil's predic-
tions of the future at home alike of interest.
Canada Of the west is the coming wheat country.
No one knows this better than Nh. Hill He is evi-
IDENTIFY getting in line for the future In his Winnipeg
conference he drew the best ideas from the most rep
resentative of Manitoba. It is to be observed
that he did go above the line for conference with
out taking along prominent Minneapolis miller the
better perhaps to have at hand every desirable bit
Of experience with reference to the industry.
Minneapolis may as well face the conviction that
the days Of great American exports of surplus wheat
drawing to close. We shall hear less Of Canadian
wheat underselling American wheat in Antwerp
Liverpool, for while the Canadian product may be
offered abroad, the American competition will gradu
ally cease. The change is being made, to the time
when the supply Of material for the great local
industry will be first consideration. Minnesota and
the Dakotas cannot be depended upon forever Posi-
bities side Of the line are still great, but
the day will when western Canada will be the
main Of wheat supply.
There barriers that exclude Minneapolis from
free to these rich fields but they artificial
What the future may have in store it is hard to say
great railroad builder Of the northwest the time is
coming when closer trade relationship between Minne-
apohs and Winnipeg will be seen, when the wheat of
western Canada instead Of going miles land and
sea, will find it's quick and remunerative market just
across the Canadian line to the south.

Is Mansfield Joking?

ID ICHARD MANSFIELD has been giving his ideas
IN upon acting and upon living, in the Atlantic
Monthly, and finds them to be- identical Taking
shakspere IS line All the world stage and all the
and merely Players he goes to the
rather thin conclusion that it is to be taken terall
that every man and woman plays part in the world
Every man. he says who has made his mark has chosen
his character the character best adapted to himself
and has played it, has cung to it and made his impress
with it. This is to say, has been content to
be himself but has selected role in which he con-
ceived he would shine and which presumably would
hide obscure his weak points and has played it for
all he was worth Nothing odious hypocritcal
could be suggested Civilization would have gone
to pieces long ago, rather would never have come
to it's present state if men had had higher ideal
than playing part If this is Mr.. Mansfield s real
idea of humanity it shows that he has been more
student of written parts than Of actual humanity.
