of Europe have been compelled to sit up and
take notice of the American widows as class
we'll worthy to rank with any subdivision of
society abroad (not even excepting the nooll-
ity), if the comparison be made on the basis
of gowns or millinery or jewelry or any OF the
other standards by which the feminine world
sets such store.
Here in the United States 1t would be dim"
cult to name sphere in which the wealthy
widows have not been exerting tremendous
influence of late years. Even in politics they
have not waited upon the victory Of the sui
frage cause to enable them to take hand.
For the present. to be sure, their influence is
indirect, but it is none the less tangible, as
witness the power Of the salon maintained by
that brilliant woman, Mrs. Hit, widow of the
late chairman Of the foreign relations commit
tee of the house of representatives and the
backing which Senator Beverage of Indiana
has had through the fact that his wife is the
kinswoman of Mrs. Marshall Field widow Of
the Chicago merchant.
Socially there Is no question as to the tre-
mendous power of the American widow. To
realize it one has only to stop to reflect how
the polite world is dominated by the hospitali-
ties of such well-to-do widows as Mrs. L. z.

AN ILLlTERATE MILLIONAIRE.

1t Is the irony of fate that a man
who could neither read nor write
should die a milionaire--made so by
his own manual labor and business
acumen-while another man with a
college education should be hunting
work as day laborer at 81 wage.
These two extremes have been seen
oE,L cHg Island. The millionaire was
John Lahey, who came to this country
from Ireland in 1866 without a change
OF shirts. He secured work at 81 a
day, and saved all he could. By slow
degrees he invested in real estate-the
value of which has constantly increas-
ed. But he never learned to read or
write. He was accustomed to say that
ne did business only with honest peo-
pie-and so 1t made no difference
whether he had an education or not.
The other man is "a years old and
- entitled to write letters represent
Ing several university degrees after his
name. He has never made a success
OF anything he turned his hand to-
living on a small salary ever since he
was %. Dig can not; to beg / am
ashamed" seems to have been his sem
timent all these years. Now he has
been forced by dire necessity to re-
verse that creed-and not only to beg
for workout to be willing to try his
hand at digging.
The lesson in these two stories is
tnat equipment makes mighty little
difference in the race of life. Deter
mination and willingness to work at
anything that is honest are what count.

The Theatres
Fargo opershouse.
March 4-Sidney Drew.

Sidney Drew is underlined at the
Fargo operahouse Saturday evening in
that laughing comedy, Billy. This
ticklesome comedy was first produced
at Days theatre, New York, last sea-
son and caught on with a rush, in
fact it was more often described as a
perfect gale of fun and storm of laugh
ter. After a run of nearly a year in
New York Mr.. Drew took the play to
the Cork theatre, Chicago, and it kept
them laughing all summer. The story
Is simple one to hang so muc real
pleasure to but it affords more than
fifty-seven different varieties of real
joy and what is still better is thor
oughly wholesome and clean. The
plot deals with the experiences Of
Billy Hargrave, a football hero, who
is deeply in love with a charming
maiden by the name of Beatrice
Sloane. At the time the story begins
Billy has lost his four front teeth in
a big football match and having re-
placed the lost nolars with artificial
ones he pretends to be ill and takes
a steamer trip to Havana to have time
to accustom himself to the use of them
in seclusion.

r. r. RATE DECISIONS,

Nowadays the march OF progress is
not marked so much by battles or by
the rise and fall of political parties as
by economic developments. The clash
Of opposing economic forces has sun
planted that of armed forces in the
activity of men. The arena for these
contests is the courts. There they are
fought out and settled.
The interstate commerce commission
after months of hearing and delibera-
tion--has handed down its decision in
the increased rate cases of the east
ern and western railroads.
The cases are the most important
that have ever been passed on by the
commission--and Its decision is his
tory-making 1t announces a principle
and sets a precedent which will be
applied to all similar cases.
The railroads purposed to increase
their rates to amounts that would have
aggregated on all the lines concerned
S27,O00,000 annually. The commission
declared that the railroads did not
show the necessity for this increase
and their petition was denied.
The following principle was laid
down mo general advance in rates
should be permitted until carriers have
exhausted every reasonable effort to-
ward economy in their business. Be-
fore any general advance can be al
lowed 1t must appear to reasonable
certainty that carriers have exercised
proper economy In the purchase of
their supplies, I'm the payment OF their
wages, and in the general conduct of
their business
Another important feature Of tl.a de-
cision is that 1t points out the present
prosperous condition Of the railroads
OF the United States. It also makes
plain the fact that they have been

Lidgerw6od Broadsxe: And in this
matter the bill introduced to make the
legislative terms for four years, to
permit the legislature to meet only
once in four years and to give the leg
lslators $40 per day instead of S.,
1t seems to us is pertinent and timely.
The same bill or one like it puts cleo
tions apart every four years instead
of every two. So that county officers
would be elected every four years and
would hold office for only four years.
1t would be tremendous saving. Think
of it. Now witt The primary election
we have two elections every other
year or an average of an election
every year. 1t tears up and destroys;
1t costs mint of money-both to the

THE WHEAT MARKET.

The Minneapolis Tribune has the fol-
LOVING editorial review OF the wheat
market
One would have to go back to the
year 1907 to find wheat selling as low
as 1t is at present in the northwestern
markets Compared with year ago
the May contract is about 20 cents
cheaper vet the depreciation has not
auickened either the commercial or
speculative demand.
The large Successive haryests of 1909
and 1919, which gave the country an
average two-year production of 49,
100000 bushels have, apparently, prov
EN- sufficient to build up the exhausted
reserves that existed In July of 1909
and to furnish an unwieldly surplus.
the accumulation, in way. has re-
suited from abnormal conditions and
were 1t not for the fact that the situ-
alton remains unchanged the large
stocks would not be especially formid-
able. ~
There is neither normal domestic
consumptive demand for the last crop
nor an export call Farmers have mar
keted quite freely until recently, re-
sultlng in maximum supplies pressing
on the terminals in extreme excess OF
the immediate requirements. Trade
conditions have not been benefited by
the proposed changes governing the
removal of the wheat duty and until
this question is settled the domestic
flour buyer, who is already long con-
tracts at higher level, is not dis
posed to enlarge his business commit
ments.
The only striking feature i'm the
market following the 15-cent decline
is the dwindling movement from the
farms. Receipts at all the primary
centers have been light, indicating
that the farmers are dissatisfied with
the price and are not especially dis
tressed by the drastic depreciation.
Nor is cash wheat demoralized in any
of the terminal markets. Prices have
held firm relative to the end of the sea-
son delivery and Notwithstanding the
break in foreign markets the domestic
level is practically on an export parity.
Statistically. from now on the COM
parsons with year ago will present
decreases against period of enlarge
ment with one exception The actual
weight on the market is lessening
rather than increasing.
