Revenue Frauds Under High Pro.
lection.

The secretary of the treasury warns
che public that the sugar frauds are
only a small part of the loss the
revenues have suffered from the dis
! honesty of importers and customs
house employees.
The collector of the port of New
York says that one commercial i'm
porter has robbed the government of
nearly 100000 by unGerv alu atoms
and smuggling. Mr.. Parr, the active
officer in the sugar exposures, says
that the government has been swindled
out of 5000, 1000, 900 in the New York
customs house alone in twenty years.
Add the losses in other ports and the
total must be more than half billion
dollars.
The government has no money to
spay expenses but that it takes from
the people by taxation. Therefore this
half a billion, taken from the treasury
10y dishonest merchants and manu-
ifaeturers, must be made up by new
staxes. If the new taxes to make up
the loss fell ia any measure upon the
rich merchants and manufacturers
who made it necessary by robbing the
government, the case would not be so
bad. On the contrary, it falls, under
our system, upon consumers without
regard to their wealth, in the form of
higher prices. IT,.
The government authorizes mer-
chants and manufacturers to add to
the natural price of their wares a
monopoly tribute for the whole con-
sumption equal to the tariff they pay
80 the government on the fraction of
it they import. Their great fortunes
are built out of the difference between
the tribute on all and the tariff on the
fraction. This is the case under
honest payment of duties.
Not satisfied with legal monopoly
profit. importing merchants and
manufacturers swindle the government
out of half billion dollars in duties
while collecting the same tribute from
consumers as if they had paid duties
honestly. For want of the revenue it
rs swindled out Of, the government
anust take an additional halt a billion
out of the consumers in the same way,
so that they pay twice, once to the
swindling merchant or manufacturer
and once to the government.
Under direct taxation, frauds on the
revenue come ultimately out of wealth.
Under our high tariff system, they
come ultimately out of the people,

st. Paul Daily News. Germany is
pursuing policy as to waterways
which indicates that if Danville, ILL.,,
were in Germany, Uncle Joe Cannon
would be a private citizen of that
village, and not in the reichstag at all,
not to mention being speaker, car
and gaveler-in-ordinary. he would
just stay in Danville and smoke.
Germany has it's lakes-to-the-gulf
deep waterway, too. But not having
any Uncle Joe, hers is built. It is
officially called the Kaiser Wilhelm
canal, but owing to its Baltic port, is
spoken of as the Kiel canal, and was
put in operation in 1895 as an inner
passage from the north coast of Ger
many along the Baltic sea to the west
coast on the North sea. It was as
important to Germany as the Panama
canal is to US.
It's a great canal, about 60 miles
long, with locks 487 feet in length and
81 feet wide.
The Germans, not content with ''l4
feet through the valley" dug the sKiel
canal 81 feet deep at the first attempt
And yet, it has been failure.
Why? Because it was not big enough.
The Mauretania is 1856 feet long and 88
feet across. Such a boat could not
pass through even the mighty .Kiel
canal. The Germans made the same
mistake that the Canadians made when
they dug the lWelland only II feet
deep, and with locks only 265 feet
long. This mistake is that of failing
to foresee the growth in size of ships.
The canal never grows. Ships get
larger and larger all the time.
We have had the same experience
on our inland waterways. They have
gone out of use for several reasons,
among them that of not being deep
and wide enough. And we have
them to stay out of use. We

Bishop William (EpiscopaD of De-
troit, Mich. maintains that according
StO prevailing opinion success is be-
.lieved to be f'the King'' and through
! it the multitude of sins and crimes are
covered. He says in his Thanksgiv-
ing sermon that the Americans are af-
tfiicted with moral color blindness and
that the Detroiters are SNUG and con-
rceited. He decried the attitude that
puts material gain over spiritual pro-
gress. 'We Americans" he said,
shave q peculiar defect of vision,
characteristic, which I might call con-
genial moral color blindness. We
cannot discriminate between bigness
and greatness. In fact bigness, in our
eyes, eclipses greatness. We call New
York and Chicago great cities. But
are they? We talk of our growing
population. How many souls, living
souls, do we number among us? We
talk of q mans worth. Do we mean
this moral value, his service to the
community, his influence over his fell
low men? No. We invariably trans
late his worth into material means.
We put things above men. With US
covers multitude of sins.
/ Physical prosperity is not an unex-
/ pected blessing. We have an adage-
= in Detroit Life Is Worth Livinp'-
that smacks of smugness and unthink-
; ing optimism, rather than civic pride
or conscience, conceit which par
alyzes effort rather than inspires it.

what Fools Those Germans Be! or Are WEI?

have rather smiled when the rail
roads have cut the throats of river
and canal commerce, while Germany
has made laws to protect her boat
owners from her railways. But then,
Germany has no Uncle Joe.
Canada seeing her error, is going
about building her lakes-to-the-gulf
deep waterway along the Georgian
bay route.
= And Germany?
Well, not having any Uncle Joe,
Germany is going to deepen and
broaden the Kiel canal, so as to ac-
comodate the Mauretania and such
vessels as the future may produce.
The new Kiel canal will be So feet
deep, and with locks somewhere about
1000 feet long. There will be broad
passing places every five miles or so,
and four of these will be spacious
harbors, dug in the heart of the
empire.
When completed this waterway
from Kiel bay to the mouth of the
Elbe, and only about so miles long,
will have cost 500, 100000. It will
save the passage around the little
peninsula of Denmark in voyages
from the North sea to the Baltic
Uncle Joe froths at the mouth when
it is suggested that we, the richest
nation in the world, spend like sum
on waterway from the lakes to the
gulf, to weld together the huge trades
of the lakes and the ocean. Nine
million tons went through the 500
canal between Superior and the lower
lakes in September last. Our water.
way commerce is growing where it has
chance. And what a chance Uncle
Joe will give it if he is kept in power!
Would that Danville were in the heart
of Germany!
Or that congress were composed of
men.

has tendency to play too far away
from his man. Michael Anthony as a
guard is the best man that can be
found in any High School in the state.
He is steady player, keeps his head
we'll and his accurate left handed
passes have made him especially
valuable. Breaking up the team work
OF the opposing team is his special
delight. Alfred Groebner, last years
substitute, and who is filling one of
the forward positions left vacant by
the graduation of Capt. Buenger of
last years team, IS small, but plays
the game we'll. BE is good in team
work and that with his speed must
compensate for his lack in size. Ar
mand Groebner played his first game
on the lst team last Friday evening,
and his work as guard was good.
although he has tendency to hold
the ball too long. James Dougher is
also making a strong bid for a po-
sition on the team and at the game
was given a chance to play as forward
IN Alfred Groebner's place, while the
latter was put in the guard position
in the place of Armand Groebner.
The score at the end of the game was
54--l7 in New Ulm's favor. AS a
whole the game was lacking in team
work, there was much fumbling of the
ball and some bad passing. A big
effort will be made to remedy these
faults before the next game and make
OF it an exhibition with more science
and in that way make it also more
Interesting from the spectators view.
Another commendable feature of the
game was the behavior of the spec
tators, especially the high school
pupils. They cheered good playing
when done either by the home team or
by the Lamberton boys.
The Athletic Association will do it's
best to give the public series of
good games through the winter. In
its work the association has a large
expense, as for instance the rent of the
hall, both for practices and games,
the expenses of the visiting team, the
advertising and many smaller ex-
penses. The players also must make
some sacrifices in order to be able to
play on the team. They must give up
smoking, their conduct must be above
reproach when playing in some other
town and they must keep above grade
IN all their studies. It is therefore
not too much to ask of the public to
give the association your patronage
and cooperate with it both by giving
1t your financial support and by
showing that you are interested in it's
work.

High School Notes.

Last Wednesday the members of the
two literary societies gave a Thanks
giving program. The interesting
feature of the entertainment was the
display of originality in the writing
of poems and stories. The poems of
Elsa F'ritsche and Elsa Klippstein
deserve special mention and would
have done credit to any poet or
poetess of larger experience. The
judges were Messrs. Buehrer, Helm
and Blomquist. Heretofore it was the
custom of the judges to confer with
each other in making their decision,
but this time they arrived at their
decisions independently and these
were then brought together and the
final decision made, which resulted in
a tie, the points standing 3-3. This
gives the ITALIAN society a total Of
fifteen and the Athena total of twelve
points so far this year. The program
follows: IT. DE-.

The basket ball season has CON-
menced. Practice was begun nearly
three weeks ago and Thanksgiving
day the End team played a game at
Morgan against its High School team.
Our boys we're defeated by the close
score of 1917. The first game of the
season for the first team was played
with Lam berton last Friday evening.
This was the first real try-out for the
season and the players did very we'll
considering the short time of practice
and the new material. There are three
of last years players back in the
game, namely, Arthur HUM, Walter
Backer and Michael Anthony, the
latter having been elected captain OF
the team for this year. Arthur HUM
as a forward is hard to beat. He is
fast, has good endurance and at the
game last Friday evening he was the
principal figure in getting the team
work, which showed itself here and
there, in action. He is an accurate
basket thrower and his size makes
him especially hard to guard. AS q
centre Walter Backer's equal is hard
to find. His s #. 2 in. go long way
toward giving the ball to his team
mates the moment it is put in play
but it is also disadvantage in thai
he relies too much on his size and no
enough on his jumping ability. He
plays the game hard and with a little
training will soon be able to keep the
! place. He shoots baskets well, but
