bers predict that the third party
will not have a dozen members here
after the next election. This may
account for the threat to run a
third party candidate in every Dis
trict where any man can be pre-
vailed upon to accept the nomina-
ton, irrespective of the kind of
member now representing the Dis
trict. Such course might split the
vote but as the purpose is an
nounced to be political preserva-
tion rather than progressive ad-
vancement, the announcement has
not created any particular press
comment.
The other day while talking to
Lenroot in the House, Uncle Isaac
Stephenson came up, shook hands
and sat down at my other side on
the bench. After greetings and in
order to start conversation, l sug-
gested | might be sitting between
two Senatorial candidates. Uncle
Ike reached over towards Lenroot
and pumped the question squarely
at him to which the Eleventh Dis
trict member smiled and shook his
head. In response to Lenroot's
query, the veteran of the Senate
evaded by saying that he had de-
termined what he would do but that
no one else knew what he had de-
cided upon. Neither man fully be-
lieved the other but in the words of
the street urchin, you can take it
from me that neither one will be at
the starting point.
Not that either fears to make
fight, but Lenroot has a strong
place in the House, a long term of
service ahead of him and little to
gain from contest. On the other
hand Uncle Isaac has accumulated
more money than the average man
can comprehend Che is reputed
worth twenty-five million dollars)
and does not depend upon his sal
airy. For a half century he has
played the game hard, has paid off
old scores and is beyond social or
political ambitions. Imay be wrong
in both cases but believe the pre-
diction is sure one. Senator Ste
phenson favors and voted for high
tax rate on incomes. He says it is
right and he is willing to pay his
share. He also predicts that the
new tariff law will bring the Repub-
lican party back into power by
1916. This is because he believes
the law will fail TO meet the prom

P0ST0FFCE TO BE ENLARGED

The local postoffice will be en-
larged to include the rooms pow &C.
cupied by the Ashley & Dawson Of
fees. The contract has already
been awarded and the work will
commence at once. Drs. Ashley &
Dawson will move to office rooms
upstairs in the same building.
The enlargement is for the pur-
pose of giving more room for boxes
and for the handling of mail by the
employees, and (referring to our
postoffice article printed elsewhere
in this issue) is not made with the
idea of furnishing more lounging
room for the evening rush."

TWO BLACKLIST" ARRESTS

Two arrests during the past two
week should serve as excellent
warnings to saloon "blacklisterS"
and to any who might feel inclined
to purchase liquor for them In
the first case a posted man was
taken into court and made to tell
from whom he secured the liquor,
and was re-arreSted later and fined
for drunkenness. When it is more
generally known that a posted man,
found intoxicated, or with liquor in
his posse ssion, may be taken into
custody by the police and held un-
til he admits, and it is proven, from
whom he received the liquor, it will
probably discourage this friendly
Cd practice. There is heavy pen
atty for selling or giving liquor to a
posted man.
The second arrest occurred Tues
day night, when man was held
on the charge of buying and pass
ing liquor to posted man. Ir
Judge Sanderson's court the next
morning he pied guilty and was
fined.
Local authorities assert that there
have been altogether too many
complaints on this score recently
and that offenders found guilty will
hereafter receive the most severe
penalty the law provides.

River Falls people who sum ner
at Scion Springs may have thought
it strange that, with the excellent
power available at Gordon, no light
and power plant has been installed
to provide the popular resort with
electric light and powef. The rea-
son for this, according to a native
of the place, is, that while there are
enough residents willing to pay
rate that would make such plant
profitable, promoters are afraid to
start it going for fear the state
commission would step in and
force them to lower the rates too
low to allow suitable profit.

An exchange vouches for the
following: "a banker in Missouri
has hit upon a novel way to tell
whether applicants for loans are
reliable or not. He steps to the
telephone and calls up the pub
Usher of the local paper If the
applicant is a subscriber and his
account is paid up, he gets the
loan, but if he is in arrears, the
security must be gilt edge. There
is more truth than poetry in the
above proposition. The man who
is slow to pay on his local paper, is
lust as apt to be slow elsewhere,
and this banker has the right
bunch, alright, alright"

ALSO, THE JOURNAL
slime To Pay Up"

THE Pepin Herald's condition
expressed here fits The Tribune
exactly:
''In looking over our accounts we
find that large sum of money is
due US on subscription, which
would be very acceptable at this
time. The accounts are small when
considered individually but the ag-
gregate sum amounts to quite bit.
We therefore ask each of our sub
scribers to consider our side of it
and see that their subscription is
paid one year in advance, which is
as the postal regulations require"

STEEL HEAD GOES
ON WITNESS STAND
President Farrell Tells of His
Rapid Rise.
STARTED AS A LABORER
Big Corporation Starts It's Own Testi-
mony In Suit Brought by the
Government for Its Dis
solution.

New York, May 13.-Taking of tes-
timony for the defense of the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the United
States Steel corporation under the
Sherman law was begun here, with
James Farrell, president of the cor
poration, as the first witness.
The case for the government was
completed in February. It is expect
ed that 1t will take another year to
complete the case for the corpora
ton.
Examined by c. A. Severance, coun-
sci for the corporation, Mr.. Farrell,
who is fifty years old, described his
remarkable rise to his present posi-
ton.
Tells of Rise to Presidency.
He said that he entered the steel
business at the age OF fifteen years
as a laborer in a steel mill in New
Haven, Conn. At nineteen he went
to Pittsburgh and worked as wire
drawer At twenty-one he became
foreman of the mill, and at twenty
three a salesman. From this posi-
ton he was promoted to sales man.
ager at the age of twenty-nine, and
four years later became general man
ager of the Pittsburg Wire company.
This company subsequently was ia
ken over by the American Steel and
Wire company, one OF the present

SUFFRAGETTES "PlANT"

Outrages Committed.

London, May 9.-Swift reprisals
following the defeat of the bill giving
women the ballot in the house Of com.
mons
The larson squad" and the bomb
squad" were quickly at work Police
precaution had been greatly increased
In anticipation of retaliation, but the
woman plotters were too adroit.
Manifestations OF suffragette ter
rorism on Wednesday were.
Planting of an Internal machine in
st, Paul's cathedral, probably the
most cherished building in Great Bri-
tain.
Bomb placed in the entrance to a
newspaper office in Fleet street.
Bomb on the steps of wholesale
drug house.
Burning OF a pavilion In the cricket
field at Bishops Park. Fulham, West
End Of London.
Firing Of a vacant house at Finch
ley, north OF London
FIRING OF tlmber-yard at Lambeth.
A plot to wreck st. Paul's cathedral
by a bomb is attributed to the mill
tant suflragettes. The verger who
conducts sight-seers through the mas
sive ediiice was making his rounds
when he heard ticking sound near
the high altar.
He found hidden a heavy parcel
done up in brown paper. He immedi-
ately placed 1t In water and handed
it over to the police, who found suf-
fragette newspaper wrapped up with
the bomb
The defeat OF the woman suffrage
bill in the house OF commons Is gen
orally attributed by the newspapers
to the women themselves-th nil
liant ones, whose lawbrealiing tactics
alienated the sympathies OF suffrage

dency of the United States Steel Prod.
ucts company, another subsidiary of
the so-called trust to which he was
elected in 1903. He became president
and director Of the parent corpora.
ton, his present position, in 1911.
Sales to Harvester Company.
To refute the allegations of the
government that the International
Harvester company enjoyed unfair
advantage in the purchase of steel
from the corporation because the two
corporations had interlocking drec-
tors, the witness produced tables in
tended to show that the amount of
steel sold by the corporation to the
Harvester company was insignificant.
The largest amount In any one year
was $4,000 tons in 1911, according to
the tables.
Mr.. Farrell also produced tables to
show that the freight rates on steel
products charged by the corporation
on its own railroads had forced reduc-
tions on competing roads, whereas
on roads not competing with the cor
poration's roads the rates had been
advanced.
Describes the Export Trade.
The witness described the export
trade of the steel corporation and
said 1t did business from Iceland 20
the Fiji islands," with 26S foreign
agencies distributed in sixty coun-
tries. The value Of the corporations
foreign trade had increased from
$31 100000 in 1904 to $92,000,000 in
1912. he added. This volume of trade,
he said. could never have been devcl-
oped had the corporation not been
formed. as 1t would have been impos.
sible for subsidiaries to maintain for
eign agencies on such an extensive
scale.
I'm the last eight years we have
furnished the steel for every steel
structure that has been built IN
Buenos Ayres." Mr. Farrell said "and
this has been in competition with
German, English and French manu-.
facturers"
The Tennessee Coal and Iron com
pany was being developed. he said.
with the purpose of manufacturing
steel for the Mexican and South
American trade.

WILSON SEES TARIFF VICTORY
VIII Pass the Senate-Will Take
Up Currency Next.

Washington, May 13.--President
Wilson does not expect that the tariff
bill will be amended in any important
particular. He has not suggested that
any schedule be re.opened, has not
been informed that the senate contem-
plates changing the work Of the house
and is confident that the measure
will pass the senate. SO certain is he
that such an end is in sight that he
probably will make known informally
his views on currency this week. The
president did not express himself
as to whether there should be public
hearings in the finance committe.
