A NECESSITY.

The Independent understands that
there have been quite number of res.
ignations from the Commercial club

undisputed fact that many of our cit.

cit from this organization in an indi.
rect way, have not contributed to It's
support. We presume that the club
mas not met the ideals Of everybody in
every particular, but it is the best or.
ganlzation of the kind that Minot
ever had and it has done a great deal

CONSIDERABLE RESTRAINT OF
TRADE.

Three times within recent months
the country has witnessed. without a
word of protest. the abhorrently mon
opolistic spectacle Of more than forty
railroads meeting together by duly ap'
pointed representatives and jointly
agreeing as to the price each and ali
of them would pay for certain conf
modify. It was all done in broad day
light too, and was widely advertised
in the newspapers.
The first time was when the engin'
GERS Of Eastern roads demanded an in
crease of pay; the second time when
the fremcn made a like dmand: the
third time to meet the demand Of the
trainmen.. A conference committee
of managers, openly representing al
the roads and acting for them jointly
dealt with each demand To be sure
the commodity in question was labor;
but the law acknowledges no difference
between that and rails. coal OF ties
Obviously there must have been con
siderable getting together and com5in'
ing-above all, there must have been
at least a tacit agreement not to com.
pete-or we should not find single
body acting for all the roads. No
doubt the Pennsylvania, being richer.
could pa. y,nore wages than the Wa.
bash-the Lackawanna could pay moro
than the Erie; but all stand together
and no official trust-buster 20 far has
said them nay. Indeed, it would take
an exceptionally obtuse trust.buster to
say them nay when it is so clear that
the men acting as unit, the roads
should act as unit also.
Moreover these same railroads have
recently appointed committee to re-
present all of them in petitioning for
an advance of freight rates in which
all shall share equally. There must
have been considerable agreeing and
combining before that uniform applica
ton for a uniform advance in rates
could have been made.
We mention this simply as another
illustration that the Sherman Law viii

AMERICA AND JAPAN.

There is a great deal of comment
in Europe about our controversy with
Japan. Some of it is friendly to US.
Some of it is doubtful. Some of it is
based upon misconception of our
powers and purposes, and a misread-
ing of our history.
The cable has several times quot
ed Sir Valentine Chivol, the director
of the foreign department of the
London Times, who thinks there is q
much bigger and broader question in
volved than the alien land law, and
sees much difficulty for us. As to the
naturalization phase of the matter,
he says:
elf the right Of naturalization is tc
be denied all the Japanese, it cannot
be on the ground that every Japan.
csc is personally more undesirable
as citizen than any European. The
color bar cannot very logically be
pleaded as in itself prohibitive by a
state which within living memory
has waged the greatest civil war Of
modern times in order to establish
the claims of American negroes to
equal nights of citizenship with the
white population of the republic.''
The civil war was waged for no
such purpose, and Mr.. Lincoln SO de-
clared. 1t was waged for the preser-
walton of the Union. Mr.. Lincoln
was opposed to slavery as an insti-
tuition, as indeed were many southern
men, but he has not a militant abo-
litionist. He was not follower, and
never had been, of William Lloyd
Garrison. He was a., conservative
man of wisdom and patience and
deep patriotism, who was figuring on
a peaceful solution of the slavery
problem, and not necessarily during
his occupancy of the White House, BE
saw the value Of time in the equa-
tion.
But the champions of slavery
would not accept his views, or wait.
Having in mind not only the preser
walton Of slavery where it then exist.
ed, but its extension, they appealed
to arms, and lost all. Slavery was
cut out Of the body polite with the
sword, when the evil might have
been, and Mr.. Lincoln desired shou.7
be, cuted in different way.
The south was rushed to perfer
vid orators. Yancy and Toombs ani
Wigfall had more influence than mer
far greater, indeed, the greatest mar
in the south was opposed to seces
sion. Robert E. Lee did not desire
an appeal to arms; but, against hi.
wishes, situation was created
which forced him through state pride
to accept the abitrament Of war.
If our Civil war has any lesson ap
plicable to the present case, it is that
of the importance of patience and con
servatism; and both sides should
study it: Neither America nor Japar
should yield to clamof. Japan couli
not afford to 60 to war in an effort
to force the naturalization of Japan
ese immigrants on us, for that would
raise a question for all powers con
trolled by the white race to consider.
The two nations today are friendly
and neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor Mr.
Taft, while president showed more
consideration for Japan than MI. Will
son is now showing. War wuold be
worse than folly, and especially 70,
Japan. Passion would cost her az
dearly in the end as it did the south
fifty years ago.-Washington Star.

WILL BENEFIT NORTH DAKOTA

WILL BENEFIT NORTH DAKOTA.
Coincident with the final years work
on the Panama canal there is revival
of activity in the building of water
ways in this country and Canada.
When railroads were in their infancy
canals were looked to for carrying
the great share of the long distance
commerce but when the network of
rails began to spread all over the
United States, it seemed that the
canal age had passed forever.
In recent years however, the trans
portation business of the country has
increased so rapidly that the railroad
facilities are proving inadequate to
handle it. The managers say they are
handicapped by legislation, raises in
wages without raise in freight rates,
and by added expense in every depart
ment. However that may be, it is a
condition that confronts, and its
causes are for the moment irrevelant.
The most pretentious of new water
ways projects is for the building of
Canadian canal from the great lakes
to the ocean, through which ocean
freighters may come and go. The
canal is to be constructed with money
from the sale Of bonds guaranteed by
the Canadian government, according
to the plans of its promoters. The
charters have already been granted,
surveys made, and the financing com.
pany formed.
Its cost will be $l25,ooo,ooo or con.
siderably less than half that of the
Panama canal. The waterway will he
420 miles long, the work consisting
mainly in deepening the channels of
the Ottawa, Mattawa and French
rivers, and will be known as the
Georgian bay canal. The depth is to
be twenty four feet and there will be
twenty-four locks.
While Canada will get the bulk of
the benefit, North Dakota and other
northwestern states will share equally
with the Canadians. Ocean liners
will be able to load at Duluth and
Lake Superior ports. with through
cargos from European ports and the
spring wheat states will be independ-
ent Of the railroads except for the
short haul to Duluth. With the
cheaper water freights which the
canal will bring, no doubt much of the
grain and re from North Dakota and
Minnesota, intended for European
ports, will be diverted from rail lines
to New York and other. eastern ports
Improvements at the 500 canal are
to cost nearly $2oo,oo0,0oo. The state
of New York is revivifying and i'm
proving the Erie canal at cost of
over $11s,0o0,00o SO that barges of l..
600 tons may be foated. By the pro.
jected improvements the Hudson rive,
will be part Of the enlarged canal
system of the state. The Cape Cod
canal in Massachusetts, is to cost
$1o,ooo,ooo.
It will only be question of time be.
fore the Mississippi river will be i'm.
proved, deepened and controlled and
become a great artery of trade from
the northern part Of the United States.
The central west is slowly but surely
shaping affairs SO that it can get its
produce out to the world at cheaper
rates and when these great water.
ways are available, this section of the
country will be more prosperous than
ever before in its history.
