uniform treatment in discounts and
rates to all banks, large or small.
4. Provision for making liquid the
sound commercial paper of all the
banks, either in the form of credits
or bank notes redeemable in gold
or lawful money.
S. Elasticity of currency and
credit in times of seasonal demands
and stringencies, with full protec-

6. Legalization of acceptances of
time bills of exchange in order to
create discount market at home

y. The organization of better
banking facilities with other coun-
tries, to aid in the extension of our
foreign trade.
These objects should be carried
out through some national CO.
operative agency, under strict
government supervision, which
would so dispose of cash reserves
as to make them available when
needed at the danger points. thus
Strengthening our banking stability
and creating confidence at home
and abroad. When business men
know that their banks will support
them to the extent of their credit,
irrespective of stress or business
conditions, panics and their re-
sulting disasters will be impossible.

Monetary Reform

The Citizens League of Mime
sofa, an organization of the bust
ness men of the state has been
organized in support of monetary
reform.
1t advocates the suppression of
panics. 1t stands for bank CO.
operation in support of the business
operations of this country and
hopes to see a condition under
which disasters to soundly-manag-
ed business institutions in times of
financial stress will be Impossible.
The purpose of the League is to
arouse and direct the interest of the
business men of this State in such a
manner as to encourage Congress
to enact needed legislation, without
further delay.
The League has no bill of its
own; is not committed to the plan
of any interest or individual, nor
does it advocate or support any
such plan. Its position is clearly
stated in the following seven prin-
ciples. which it hopes to have in
corporated into law:
/. Cooperation, not dominant
Capitalization, of all banks by an
evolution out of our clearing house
experience.
2. Protection of thecredit system
of the country from the domination
of any group of financial or political
interests.

ILLEGAL GAME
Warden James Makes
Haul Last Week

| Game Warden Fred lanes die
quite stroke of business last week
and the result is that several are
several dollars poorer and several
are at the county Jail in Duluth for
terms of various lengths. The
warden had learned that an or
ganized band of deer hunters had
their rendezvous north of Wolf
Lake and in company with an
assistant paid the place visit. He
found there Peter Krze and son,
Jos. Lewstick, John Omerzu and
Tony Yakic who had at that time
three deer in their possession and
only one license between them. 1t
IS claimed that the party had sent
to town deer and moose on several
occasions before and were making
a good living out of the trade,
selling the meat to friends in the
city.
| Peter Krze Sr. and Jr. were each
fined 500 and costs or 90 days in
the county Jail in municipal court
Saturday and Lewstick and Omerzu
were given fine of $50 and costs
or thirty days i'll Jail. Neither of
these paid and the four were taken
to Duluth by Chief Somrok Mon
day. Yakic, who it seemed had a
licsnse was discharged.
John Krze another of the sons of
the first named was on Tuesday
taken before the court for illegal
hunting and was fined $50 and
costs. John Lousin was fined 800
and costs for acting as common
carrier for untagged deer, he having
hauled the deer to town. John E.
Cosgrove, who had volunteered to
help some St. Paul friends secure a
deer after an unsuccessful hunt, on
a St. Paul license which had been
left with Cosgrove by the party,
was fined $50 and costs. The fine
of Lousin was RENTED in the larger
part, he only paying $40 and costs
The same was done for Cosgrove
who paid $25 and costs. Matt
Muhvich, who had one deer and {
| part of another in his possession
was fined $50 and costs. Felix
Kovalik, who seems to be tn,
hunter that furnished the deer fo
Cosgrove and Muhvich has no
been apprehended as yet.
The confscated deer, guns, etc.
were shipped to St. Pnur b,
warden James where they will b
disposed of by the game and fisl
commission.

Injuries New Range

People interested on the Guyana
range say that the reduction of the
ore rates from the Mesaba and Yer
million ranges has been positive
injury to the Guyana. Before the
rate on ore from the Mesaba and
Vermilion was reduced from 80 to
100 cents ton the rate from the
Guyana was 65. cents, and this diff
ferential of Is cents a ton on the
commodity was of much Importance
to the iron ore interests on the new
range.
/ Now the rate is 60 cents from all
the ranges to Duluth and the
Guyana no longer enjoys the
advantage, for the 500 Line has
given no intimation that it will
maintain this differential of Is
cents ton, by reducing its rate to.
IS cents. The haul from the Guy
una range to the head of the lakes
is little longer, if anything, than
from the Mesaba range, so there is
no attempt to argue for con-
tinuance Of. the differential on the
basis of haul.
The Guyana range shipped its
first ore this year and it is expected
that it will one day become a very
heavy producer and shipper. One
of the best authorities on the Guy
una says that he looks to see not
less than 800, 900, 900 tons of high
grade ore developed there. and a
much greater amount of low grade,
or ore that is now considered Just
below grade. A number of pro-
perties on the Guyana have been
proved to contain large tonnage
and the expectation is that there
will be several shipping mines on
lhe new range in 1912.

A farmer finds one-dollar bill
and appropriates it, by right of
discovery, to himself. He goes to
town and pays it to a newspaper
man on what he owes him; the
newspaper man hands it over to
merchant to settle his account; the
merchant pays his meat bill with
it; and the bucher pays it back to
the original finder to finish paving
for a calf he had purchased.
After which the farmer takes it to
the bank and discovers it to be
counterfeit, and on the ensuing
Sunday puts it into the missionary
collection. Query: As the bill
has paid SIS in debts, who is the
loser by the transaction?

How nIndus Obtain Fire.

Fire is obtained for the important
Hindu ceremony Of Yanga by a Gu
rious method, says a writer In the
Strand, matches not being considered
holy. The priest holding the two ends
of a piece of cord coiled round a YER
tical rod, the lower end Of which fits
into a groove cut out in the block OF
wood in which the rod rests, by a
churning motion causes it to rotate
very rapidly, 1t being meanwhile kept
In position by the second priest by
means of a horizontal handle with a
hole in which the rod turns. The fric-
ton between the rod and the lower
block of wood after a short time sets
fire to the latter. This fire, by timely
nourishment, is developed into glori-
Gus flame The instrument is consid-
cred very sacred BY the orthodox Hin
dus They. Of course, kept grumbling
all the while.

ERsKINE ON SCARLET LETTER
Hawthorne's Masterpiece Great In ~
Universal Theme, Elevated Tone
and Simple Treatment.

The greatness Of the story lies In its
universal theme. its elevated tone. and
the, extreme simplicity Of It's treat
ment. The theme Is the effect Of sin
upon the soul that commits it--espe-
cially Of secret sin, since Dimmes-
dale's experience makes the tale. All
the characters are noble az, In a
Greek story-strongly developed In
themselves, and holding high posi-
ton In the, community. so that their
experiences are large and important,
as many critics have remarked. like
the heroic adventure Of Attic tragedy.
This resemblance Of tone Is increased
by the sense Of destiny and retribu-
ton In the romance, dark and mex
orable as ever the win Of the gods
was imagined by ancient poets.
1t is a kind Of impertinence to
speak Of the technical greatness Of
such q masterpiece as THE Scarlet
Letter" Yet the reader would be In
deed thankless who failed to note how
much Of his pleasure is In the solemn,
musical cadence with which the story
moves. The lofty manner extended
even to the dialogues. so that the
varied characters speak alike in q
somber eloquence permissible In 70
mance.-Erskine: Leading American
Noyellsts."
