to understand precisely what the Min
neapolis attitude is. 1t is manifest
that the righteous wrath and indig-
nation Of this great section Of coun-
try will be stirred at the form the
situation now takes and all that St.
Paul asks at this time is that the
facts be thoroughly understood.
In spite Of all that has occurred,
we are unwilling to believe that this
attitude represents the large majority
of generous Minneapolis. We are not
convinced that the broad-inded peo-
pie of our thriving neighbor will in
dorse narrow, dog-in-the-manger
policy, the effect Of which would be to
damn them over the entire Northwest.
We cannot conceive that Minneapolis
sentiment will support the action of
its bankers in saying to the great
country from which it has drawn it's
support: 1--WE are willing to injure
you, and we refuse you the benefits
of reserve bank unless we get the
bank" If no broad and just concept
of what is right would influence Min
neapolis people from such a position,
then we believe a wholesome fear of
the righteous resentment of the
Northwest would present itself to the
shrewdness of their calculations.
AS far as the banker representatives
at Chicago are concerned, the deed is
done. Minneapolis is on record as OPP
posing her own selfish interests to the
interests of the entire Northwest. She
stands stripped of every vestige of
concern for whatever is outside her
own corporate limits. Deliberately she
cuts every tie which binds her to the
territory to which she owes her pros
perity, and fiouts her independence of
it. If this attitude is not represent
ative of her real sentiment
ground for this belief is given by the
shame-faced attitude of her leading
newspaper = Minneapolis should be-
stir herself and take promptly the
steps which may help to set her right
with the people of the Northwest, who
have been outraged in her name.

only charity that has any right to
exist-the charity that helps man
by teaching him to help himself, by
making him feel that the work of his
hand and brain is his own.
In our opinion true distribution is
the division Of the product of industry
into shares corresponding to the num-
Der of persons who have taken part
in the production.
This Mr.. Ford aims to do and do
directly with no diversion of the pro-
duct through the channels of ANAL
gamated charities, hospital boards or
funds spent on technicalities.
This Mr.. Carnegie, with his medals,
and homes and library buildings has
never done. His policy and the policy
of all like men is founded upon abb
solute selfishness. He snatched not
only his share in the first distribu-
ton but the share of half the others
concerned, crammed it into his pocket
and gloated over this feast for his
avarice. For quarter of century
he kept this up, and then grew tired
of that kind of selfishness. So he be-
gan doing out the stuff he had gath
cred together, giving it not to the
men who had earned it for him, but
to the towns that knew him, to places
and people who would pay him by ad
vertising his greatness.
The world has deal of this chart
ty. Of the charity that makes real
distribution of wealth possible it has
next to none, Henry Ford standing
as pioneer of the highest charity
which gives man what belongs to
him; the share in the product of his
labor which it is his right to demand.
The Ford plan may not work out
well in the matter of details. The
Wall Street Journal calls it "pre-
posterous" distribution and declares
it "indefensibly bad'' in every other
way except as means of advertis-
ing.
No great movement was ever per-
feet in its beginning; it is out of mis-
takes that perfection is evolved. But
the great essential is to get begin
ning-for that American love of JUS
tice owes deep debt of gratitude to
Mr.. Ford.

reported by c. j. Swendsen and c. E.

of 5 out of IL men freed on bonds,
8 out Of 10 men paroled to the dist

CARNEGIE OR FORD
FEW YEARS AGO Andrew

~ negle mace uais sIa1enieht'
- "The distribution of wealth is
the great problem of the age. The
successful captain of industry is not
the type that seeks hoard of dol
lars as life work. He is the man
who, after money comes to him be-
yond his wants seeks to find a use
for it beyond his own selfish end for
the good of Others"
By this definition Carnegie meant
that man has right to plan and
steal and practice corporate swindle
until he has amassed fortune.
Then, with the coming of gray hairs
and a tinge of frost in the hair he re-
penis and tries to make amends, by
giving individually, his fortune or
parts of the interest thereon, to other
individuals who may, or may not have
a right to share in his ill-gotten
gains.
In the days of his youth he lays
hold of the lever Of finance and throws
the economic world out of plumb.
In his decripit old age he seeks
to right it, not by putting his wealth
back whence he obtained it, but by
dumping it in piles! This Andrew Car
negie calls Distribution" of wealth!
Beside the statement of Henry Ford
this definition of distribution looks
mighty shabby. Mr.. Ford says in
speaking of the plans made by the
Ford Motor Company to turn back
$10,000,O00 of the 1914 profits to the
workers who helped make the money;
Believing, as we do, that the divi-
sion of our earnings between capital
and labor is unequal, we have sought
a plan of relief suitable for our bust
ness. We do not feel sure that it is
the best, but we have felt impelled
to make start, and make it now.
We do not agree with those employers
who declare, as did recent writer in
a magazine in excusing himself for
not practicing what he preached, that
movement toward the lettering of
society must be universal" We think
that one concern can make start
and create an example for other en-
ployers. That is our chief object.
No man will be discharged if we
can help it, except for unfaithfulness
or inefficiency. He is tried repeatedly
in other work, until we find the job
he is suited for, provided he is honest
ly trying to render good service"
This has the ring of sound social

render value received, smacks of the

it will be a four-year term. Mr.. Preus

going to attempt to run for the nomi-

should be doing a real charity and making the world better place to live in.
 But from such practical charity as this the greatest benefit is derived by the doers, for all charity hlesses the giver more than the receiver.
 The percentage of people who now do good deeds daily because of a genuine desire to help humanity is negligible Very few people give any thought to it.
 Those who do extend the helping hand are mainly of the so-calle6 middle class.
 The fullest flower of manhood is the middle class. The very poor are ground down by their iniseries, Their minds cannot expand; with empty stomachs they cannot take a kindly view of the world The very rich are overweighted by their responsibiliti- es. The care of their own affairs ab- sorbs all their time and their financial height above the rest of humanity destroys their perspective. The roor and the rich cannot take correctly balanced view.
 The above taken from the F. l. is indeed live issue. How unchristian we often act by failing to act at all. How like the VERY ReLIGIOUs Phar- isee we PASS BY ON THR OTHER SIDE. and let the sufferer suffer because ii. doing the kindly deed it might discomfort us A LITTLE.

Activity of the Granite Industry.

A recent visit to the various granite
and marble quarrying centers shows that
conditions tend towards a record break
ing season, the quarries in most cases
having erected additional machinery in
order to keep up with the increasing de-
mand.
Only few years ago the writer noted
the folly of some quarries in being con-
tent TO supply all immediate demands
for their product, making no prepare
tion for the future by the opening of
new lodges and the installation Of
modern machinery. To-day these quar-
riers are being hard pressed in order to
keep up with the demand. The far
sighted men are the winners in every
race and ii is indeed gratifying to visit
some of the quarries and note the activ-
ity of these successful operators for
meeting future demands.
An abundance of granite may be had
from such firms and the retail dealers
need have no fear about American pro-
ducts being available for generations to
come, The importation OF foreign
granite is limited and little of such stock
has been noticed in the yards of the
dealers during the past few months.
