,nThe st. Cloud commercial club
contains just as many up-to-date. and
capable business mon as any organiza-
tion of the kind in the state Recently
the club passed resolutions in favor
Of Minnesota keeping foreign material
out of the state public buildings, that
is, that wall should be put around
the state to keep out materials from
the other states of the union. This
may he a good thing, and there are
some plausible arguments for it. OF
course, the basis for the action IS that
st. Cloud has great granite industry,
OF which it is proud, and rightly 80.
1t Is all right to look after the in
terests of he granite workers. So much
for that proposition. There is around
st. Cloud and throughout Stearns
county, class of people whose in
terests are greater than that of all
the farmers, who have made Stearns
county ono of the richest agricultural
regions in the Northwest. The same
commercial club which desired a wall
put around the state in order that cer
tain industries might be helped. voted
the other day in favor of the one-sided
Taft reciprocity scheme, which throws
down the wall so far as the farmer is
concerned, while still leaving it to
protect the manufacturer. There never
was holder disregard of the interest
Of the farmers than IN the legislation
proposed. The Herald does not be-
lleve in tariff walls, but if we are to
have them let's be fair about it, It
was predicted long ago by close stu
dents of tho tariff that so long as a
tariff on farm products meant nothing,
1t would be allowed to remain, and
be useful as a campaign slogan, but
that when consumption becomes equal
to production, or exceeded it. and
the tariff might begin to be effective,
it would be thrown overheard. In
order to save themselves, the manu-
features have sacrificed the farmer
The manufacturer will still be able to
sell at his own prices at home and ex-
plot the new market opened to him,
while the farmer will still as OF old nav
high tariff prices for, his clothing and
his machinery, but his gram will be
sold in an open market. T.. The farmer
continues to be the: '.goat.'' If a
wall is good for stone, why not for
wheat and barley7 And yet, the
reciprocity proposition will do great
good. 1t is going to open the farmers
eyes as to the iniquity Of the protective
tariff system, and he will DO ready to
help knock down the wall that
protected manufacturers have put
around the country, since they are so
willing to knock down his wall when
it has become something solid, and.
not pasteboard, as 1t was until
recently.

DEFENSE OPENS CASE
|NCAPT. KNIGHTS TRIAL
Accused Officer, It Is Expect
ed, Will Testify in His
Own Behalf.

NORFOLK, Va, March 14.-The de-
Tense today began the presentation OF
its case in the trial by court-martial at
the Norfolk navy yard of Capt. Austin
NJ. Knight, in connection with the sink
ing of the United States monitor Puri-
tan. following explosive tests to which
she was subjected in Hampton roads
last fall. Among those summoned to
testify for the defense are Prof. Alger Of
the Naval Academy, who Is also OF coun-
sci for the defense; Ensigns Struble and
Pickering. Maj. O'Hern. L. s. A. and
Naval Constructors Watt and Robinson.
It is altogether probable that Capt.
Knight also will go on the stand to
testify in his own behalf
1t is believed that the defense will re-
Quire about two days for the presentation
Of it's side of the case and a day will
be required for the summing up and
arguments.
Admiral Marshalls Testimony.
Rear Admiral W. A. Marshall. COM
manding the Norfolk navy yard, was the
most important witness yesterday. Ad-
miral Marshall testified that he con-
ton to be in full charge of the monitor
Puritan and Capt. knight to be in direct
charge from the time he boarded the
Puritan and proceeded with her in tow
to the anchorage where the experimental
tests which resulted in her sinking were
subsequently conducted.
Admiral Marshall said that Capt. Knight
first wanted the tests to occur at the
south dock at the navy yard. but he
vetoed this because he considered II dan
gerOus to discharge high explosives SO
close to the navy yard buildings.
Admiral Marshal said the departmental
orders to have dock in readiness for
was complied with, and though there
were two tugs and q coal barge in the
dock which had been designated. he
thought that these could be removed in
two hours time, and as 1t required three
hours to tow the Puritan from the yard
to the Hampton roads anchorage, he esti-
mated it would require at least this much
time to tow her back.
Says Marshall Was in Command.
Maj. Leonard, conducting the defense
Of Capt. Knight, sought to show that Ad-
miral Marshall and not Capt. knight was
in charge Of the Puritan. Admiral Mar
shall said that Constructor Gilmore re-
ported 10 MIN tHdL CHieI SoiiseI uStoA
Watt regarded it as q risky thing to at
tempt to bring the Puritan to the navy
yard, and that no application was made
to him in the matter.
The court-martial has developed, from
the viewpoint of the defense. that Capt
knight carried out his orders. discharged
the observation-disclosures case of nitro
glycerin, and after his work was done
retired to the monitor Tallahassee. The
fact that the Puritan fioated twenty
hours after Capt. knights work was done
is the ground on which the defense be-
,ieves the court may find 1t necessary to
fasten responsibility elsewhere.
