quarter rejoiced to have come through with
whole skin and delighted with the experience
that had been through, now that it was over.
THAT is the sum and substance of my expert
ences with the Constantnople dervishes The
fact that the guide was Maltese was responsible
for my presence there, for no Mahometan would
have taken us | believe that owed our safety
to the fact that the crowd too absorbed in
what was passing to pay any attention TO by
stander | talked to merchants in the bazaars on
the following days, and they all said that they
themselves had taken part in the festival on some
occasion, and that every believer in the unortho-
dox faith must participate at some time IN ms
life. These merchants frequently educated
men who spoke both French and English and who
had graduated in many cases from Western uni
yersites
"The festival itself occurs on the Feast OF Mo-
harrem which is celebrated not only as being
the anniversary of the martyrdom of the proph-
cts two grandchildren but also that on Which
he himself assembled TO heaven. 1t is one OF the
principal festal days of the Mahometan year.

spite of the troops that we are supplying INDIA

20 on in exactly the same manner as 1t did be
fore the war Up to the present time my country
has conducted the bulk of her business with Eng
land France and Germany. The exports and I'M
ports from Germany practically nil. France
has been greatly reduced commercially and Eng
land only in less degree. 1t is obvious that
America can step forward and supply the Orient
If America does not manufacture the required ar
ticles, she can begin to do so. The bulk of midas
imports are in the finished materials.
"The imports of my country are, roughly, $780,
100000 annually. Her exports amount to about
S75OOOOOO0 Four hundred million dollars worth
of her imports could easily be supplied by the
United States, and this is a tremendous sum to
play for And when the trade has once been
gained there is little doubt that America could
keep it, The other countries will be out OF the
running for half a generation at the least, and
no favoritism will be shown in any one case. As
long as the price suits there will be no return
to European markets. And even if favoritism ex-
lists. what country will be able to compete with
the United States when this terrible war is over?
THE WAR Is AMERICAS OPPORTUNITY IN
THE FAR EAST.
"The Mckinley tariff has done its work for the
United States in building up home industries.
The war has broadened the scope of these indus
tries by supplying them with an enormous for
eign outlet This outlet is now available, and
the demand upon American manufacturers is I'M
mediate The chief needs of India are the med-
cines and the aniline dyes that she used to i'm
port from Germany. There is no reason at all
why the United States cannot manufacture and
export all the drugs and chemicals that India re-
quires.
electrical products also in great demand.
The dynamo and storage battery are becoming
more and more important in Eastern life. Now
that our sanitary system is improving, there Will
be great call in India for hand pumps such as
you see in any New England homestead.
"The country well is not considered a factor
for health in America, but in India, where the
water is drawn from the village well that has
been in use for fifty a hundred years, with
little or no attempt at cleansing, the individual
source of supply used DOB New England farm
houses will do much to stamp out the diseases

THE one European nation that follows this sys-
TEN is Russia In Russia the artist of ability
need never fear for the future. Some rich coun-

serve his country by allowing this to make itself
manifest. 1t is Il notable fact also that Russia
is the only European nation that has exempted
musicians from military servcea step in prog

reason, lines of thought appear to run more close

India in her occultism and her philosophy. Indian

Already possibilities TO

Already possibilities for the
speakership of the lower house of the
state legislature are being discussed
but as yet the name of man who is
exceptionally we'll qualified in near
ly every particular for that RESPONSE
Bile position has not been mentioned.
That man is H. J. Miner of Internal
tional Falls, one Of the two members
Of the Sixty-second legislative district
and who is sent to St. Paul from Koo-
chiching county. While the fact
that Miner has never served in the
Minnesota lower house may be used
against him, his eight years expert
ence as both senator and represent
tative in South Dakota will be con-
sidered. The speaker of the house
should be man of the Minor type.

The Pension Roll Diminishes.

The report of the commissioner of
pensions for the last fiscal year shows
that the high tide in expenditures for
this purpose has been passed.
During the last fiscal year 7S5,239
pensioners received from the govern
ment $172,417,546.26 This is a de-
cline of about two million dollars
from the previous year, when the rolls
were heavily increased by the old age
pension act of 1912.
The largest amount ever paid was
in 1913, and UP to that point there
has been a gradual ascent The
amount will decrease from now on,
and the rate of decrease will pres
emily grow rapidly, says the Duluth
Herald.
That's going to save some money.
But We'll hazard a guess that the
first thought of the average citizen
of this land of the free won't be that
at all-but that these figures mean
that the rolls Of the living heroes of
the war for the Union are pathetic
ally dwindling.
The war. ended half century ago.
That it was; a war largely fought by
boys is made plain from the fact that
so many, having survived the perils
and hardships of battle, are still liv-
ing. But they are boys no longer. A
lad of eighteen in 81 is today a man
one year past the allotted three-score-
and-ten.
Nobody, we feel sure, will grudge
any one of them dollar of this pen
sion money. There have been pen
sion abuses, very great many. Men
have had pension money who never
earned a penny of it.. Men have rank
ed high in the. pension lists who rank
ed very low indeed in the hero list
But we can forgive that in the
thought that the same time thousands
have been helped by their country
when they, needed help, and that this
Is just because. when their country
needed help, they responded.
Sine 1885 the government has paid
out in pensions s4,761,45O,39 800 =
nearly five billions of dollars. That
much of it was wasted is a pity. a
pity not only because it is waste. but
because in such a case waste sacri-
fees the. deserving to the undesery-
ing. Nobody, grudges any deserving
veteran or veterans widow a single
dollar of it. res.--~.
