FACTS VS.. sPooKRAIsING.

n A few days 6 the New England
owners of cotton mills with which
that section abounds, held an exper-
fence meeting at PESOVidence, and shed
tears over the ruin that they allega
is hotfoot after the prosperity Of that
industry. The chief tear-impeller of
the sOrrowful occasion was Governor
Pothier Of Rhode island, who declared
that the new tariff is dead sure to
lpwer wages in the textile mills and
permit Japan and other Oriental ma
tfons to step right in. and grab the
home market from under the noses
or American cotton mill men.
" It Us a pretty fair guess that the
note of alarm is merely a preliminary
to an attempt to cut down the wages
paid in the mills down east" The

AT the Providence meeting may safely
be taken as the first step in the di-

THE TEACHER REBELS.

q There is food for thought in the re

SATURDAY.. 1t was at the meeting OF
the rural teachers of Hennepin county,
The club women had addressed the
meeting, and had suggested how the
Burial teachers might do great good by

Ii was Miss Agatha Kreuger, a

there will be a lot Of sympathy for

It is an easy matter for the wealthy
