mad if they do not win every time.
Few cities spend more than Chicago
on music lessons and make less Of mu-
sic in their homes. Few cities read
more books and have more completely
lost the art Of conversation. Our men
talk nothing but politics, and what
they know about politics is taken out
of the newspapers. Our women can
talk Of nothing but clothes. And to

Markets Closed to American
Farmers.

In an address at the Farmers Ma
tional Congress at Rock Island, ILL.,,
Gov. A. b. Cummins of Iowa said:
II believe in an adjustment of the
tariff to give the farmers the right to
hold their own business. Some mis-
guided mind has succeeded in getting
the gates of France closed against the
American farmer, and possibly by the
first Of March the gates of Germany
will also be closed. The surplus Of
the soil must find an outlet in foreign
markets, and to that end the farmers
are most vitality interested"

Independent Telephones.

President M0ultOn of the Tri-State |
Telephone company, noting the growth
of the independent movement through
out the northwest, says:
"Six months ago, our company stood
almost isolated in the Northwest. The
Bell company held a monopoly in Mil
waukee, the greater part of Wisconsin,
in Manitoba, and the greater part of
North Dakota.
Suddenly with very little warning,
the situation changed. Milwaukee
granted franchise to an Independent
company, which will Immediately put
in an exchange in that city and COM
prehensive system of toll lines through
out the state of Wisconsin, thus giving
q strong impetus to the independent
movement.
The growth too, of the independent
system throughout the Union is great
er than ever before. From every part
of the country the reports are the same,
wonderful growth and universal sue.
cess. Omaha, Denver, Milwaukee and
Boston have all granted independent
franchises. In the case of Omaha and
Denver, the question was referred to
the people, who voted overwhelmingly
to grant the request for a competing
system.
All this goes to confirm what we
have always maintained, while an ex-
tensiVe long distance telephone and
telegraph system may be successfully
managed from central point like
New Y York, it is not feasible to manage
q large number Of exchanges with all
their complexity Of detail in that way.
Telephone exchanges should be man
aged as the Independ ndents do it, by the
people on the ground who have their
own money at stake, and who give to
the conduct Of the business their un-
divided attention.
The growth and development Of the
Tri-S State Telephone company keeps,
|on with unimpaired rapidity. Six
months ago, the exchanges in Mime
apolis and st. Paul had q, ,544 snbscrib-
|ers; they now have %, 500, . growth Of
nearly 1000. On Sept. lst, our gross
revenue was $896, 400; today it is $685.

Benefit of Cooperation.

When you pay dollar to your home
merchant for something he has to sell,
you add to the prosperity Of your town
in several ways. You encourage him
to build a handsome business block,
and thus add to the taxable property.
This means more money for the public
schools; it means more money for local
improvement and good roads; and it
means lighter burdens for the rest OF
the community. It also increases the
value Of your own property. Not only
this, but it helps the merchant to en-
ploy clerks, who rent houses, and in
turn patronize the other merchants,
the grocers, the gardeners and the farm.

Japan as an Industrial Competi'
tor.

4 tsss = E4t
With all Of Japan's ambition she is
sadly handicapped by the fact that her
labor is inefficient and by her lack OF
raw materials. Though the price Of
labor in Japan is low, its limited eff
cheney of labor in countries where
much higher wages are paid makes it
very expensive labor; so that in many
avenues, it is not the cheapest, but
among the most costly labor in the
world. Men who have made a study
of Industrial conditions in the island
empire say that Japanese labor is boths
incompetent and Wasteful. The avert
age Japanese workman is. not only q
rather poor workman, but Indifferent
to his own incompetence, and destitute
of ambition to remedy it, and he has
little notion of the value of time. AS
compared with American skilled work.
men, it has been estimated that the.
ratio of Japanese efficiency in labor is
about four to one.
If American industry has any serious
future competitor in Asia lis more
likely to be China than Japan. China
has an immense amount OF wealth, her
people are industrious, reliable, law
abiding, good humored, capable and
tolerant Her merchants have the
highest integrity, and are among the
best and shrewdest in the world. The
country itself has almost limitless po
tentialities for development; SO that
she has a com bination Of assets which
if properly developed and directed has
tremendous possibilities.
The American and European labor
has little to fear from: the growth and
development Of eastern industry. On.
the contrary, the more that modern in:
dustry can be encouraged in the east
the more will the purchasing power
and the wants increase, and the stand
ards of the Aslatic rise. The more,
that these grow the more are the pos:
sibilitles at hand for the consumption:
of the white mans increasing surplus
of industrial products, and thus will
the men of: the east be Of much advan:
tage to the men of the west.
The present and future need of Asia
IS undoubtedly not the simple life but:
more wants. Her aim to follow west.

Governor johnson took control OF

in spite of the narrow minded republi-
cans who would keep it still in the

son ought to hav the control same as
other governors and only hope that
he will kick out every republican en-
ployee around the capitol from mopper
to engineer and put in Dick O'Connor's
list of democrat ward heelers in St.
Paul. johnson is governor by the aid
of republican votes and by the poor
management Of local republican poll
Tx. Look how it has ben up to Aus
tin for the past two state campaigns.
The republicans hav ben goin' into the
hole worse and worse and yet the gang
has kept in the same manager for boss
and this county went $50 majority
democratic, while the city Of Austin
showed contempt for the bosses in no
unmistak terms at the polls. Now
{ say that SO long as Johnson is gov
ernor he's entitled to all the honors
and perquisites Of any other governor.
I reckon that the republican bosses
who think they can set up any old
political job and work it thru may take
