That children's diseases are no

to which physicians are all more anr
more subscribing. DR.. Frederic H
Thomson qualities the belief in hi:
special experience as medical super,
intendent of the Northwestern hospi
tai Of Tottenham, England, reportine
as follows:
Cur evidence in the case of scar
let " goes somewhat strongly
; TO show that the infection Is prob
d ably not air-borne. The evidence
as TO w~hooping cough is less def
mite and we r in some doubt.
We believe that the infection Of
measles is probably air borne
early in the disease, but that the
power OF Infection soon passes. We
are inclined to think that chick
en-pox is air-borne early in the
disease, but our experience goes
to suggest that on and after the
third day it is probably not air
borne; in our view this probable
ity is the most interesting ont
come of the work. For many wears
we have held that diphtheria in
fection is not air-borne. No cross
infections arose from German
measles or from humps, but the
small number of cases treated
scarcely warrant any defnita con-
clusion. We tend to the belief that
they are probably not air borne.

very glad to see you. We believe much
good must result from such a gather
ing as this. We want to get better ac-
quainted with you, and we want you
to get better acquainted with us. We
are really not such had fellows when
you come to know us.
"Our committee has tried to pre-
Tare a program for your entertain
ment which will be pleasing n in
structive. We want you to see Du-
luth; to see our elevators and learn all
about them; how your grain is in
spected, how it is unloaded, cleaned,
weighed, and in fact, learn all about
how your shipments are handled here.
Before you go home we want to know
all about how your interests are being
looked after in this market. I have
been a member Of the board Of trade
for nearly thirty years and many OF
the grain firms that were engaged in
the handling of your shipments thirty
years ago are still here and keenly on
the job looking after your interests to
see you receive the highest market
price for your grain when it is sold,
and to see to it that the state depart
ment gives your grain the proper grade
and dockage; to see your grain Is sold
to responsible purchasers and that the
money is promptly returned to you.
1--WE need you in our business and
we honestly believe you need us In
your business. For that reason, we
are glad you have come to this meet
ing. By exchange of ideas we can
learn much from each other. The
great Northwest is just commencing to
get on the job. France raises
more wheat than our Northwestern
states and they have been at it since
the crusades, out with the assistance
Of our agricultural colleges and the
agricultural department of Washing
ton we are learning to get the most out
of the land. Our children will be better
farmers on account of scientific knowl-
edge received at these colleges.
Marketing the Crop.
ut is a big undertaking to market
the great crops that are being raised
and the much greater ones to be
raised in the future. We think we ap-
preciate your part Of this undertaking,
and we want you to know what we
are doing down here. Our function is
to provide an exchange where buyers
and sellers may come together for the
marketing of these crops, and &c
the money to finance the crop move
ment. The board of trade spends
much money in gathering UP informa-
ton from the four corners of the earth
for the benefit Of It's members that
they may be informed as to the value
of your grain. Let me tell you, your
commission man is lying awake nights
thinking how he may best serve your
interests and thereby merit your con-
tinued confidence"

nember my mother

l remember my. mother
In the deep, still nighttime,
When books were on the shelves again
And the toys were put away,
When the moonlight filled my bedroom
And the shadow time, the Nighttime
Of happy, sleepy memories
Rcmade the merry day.
How soft the door was opened,
How swift she stole upon me,
With covers for my carelessness.
Awake enough to see
Her silver dress of silentness,
Her WiStful broWs that won me;
TIC feel her touch upon me,
And the way she looked at me!
The book that always slipped from bed
Was smiled upon and taken.
The clothes that lay both far and near
Were folded on the chair.
And last, she kissed me lightly,
So lightly-not to waken,
And her white arms were about me,
And her soft dark hair,
And Charger-borne afar that night
Through special lands and lonely,
With elves close riding
For some dungeoned castle-keep,
l thought, My pretty mother!
l wear her favor only
l thought. My lovely mother"
And smiled in my sleep.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

.Ea HLE w..
The hold which baseball has upon
the people of the United States in
creases from year to year. AS native
to this land as the bison, it is as
Enthusiastically American as Uncle
Sam himself, and ternbodies in its psy-
cholpgy love of fair play, shrewdness,
clear seeing, hard hitting and quick
thinking. A gradual development and
Improvement from a much less intri-
cate game, basebalF today is reflective
of our racial character. The favor it
has found abroad shows how world
wide is its appeal.
1t is true professional baseball is an
exhibition, not a sport; its patrons arr
spectators, not participants. But pro
fegsional baseball is but a single phase
of the game.

The Power of Fashion,

st. Louis Republic: Partially COM
pleted estimates of the amounts in
volved in the failure of a great chain
Of retail stores with headquarters, in
New York city show the liabilities as
totaling about $25, 000.0 0
If the report that has reached the
United States department of commerce
is correct this great failure may be
traced in part to a within of fashion.
There are other reasons, Of course, but
this is given az the one that finally
pulled down the great corporation and
affected the stock markets.
It may be summed up in the state
ment that women have ceased to wear
petticoats. The hobble skirt, the tube
gown, the sheath gown and the vari-
u other form revealing fashions
crippled the white goods trade. Linens,
muslins and other. fabrics, once staples
in feminine wear, remained on the
shelves f@#
Then the diaphanous gown put in it's
appearance. That settled the white
goods trade. The laces, the ruffles and
the ~lingeries that were stacked up in
warehouses and stock rooms, on
shelves and in ships holds became a
drug on the market. Nobody wanted
them. They were so much useless
stock and the money that was tied up
In their manufacture and in their pur~
chase was lost.
The great chain Of New York cor
Germs, reaching all the way across the
continent, was overstoeked with white
goods, so the story goes. They could
not be sold, they could not be ok
changed, they could not be given
away, and they were useless as pre-
railrns.
guess right. 1t is ruin when they dc
not.

DESERVED RECOGNITION.

The Argentine minister, Senior Ro-
pliment paid him by Harvard's be-
stowal of an LID. degree uron him,
as Yale had hoonred him the day be-
fore, by interpreting it as a recogni-
ton Of his country's efforts for peace,
without personal significance.
Undoubtedly, this motive Of graft
tude to the Argentine Republic played
a part in the award. Yet the thanks
of this country will go out to the three
mediators personally, whether their
has been a genuine service for human
ity, Of lasting significance and prom
ice.
The precedent they hav set of act
ing in concert in a matter SO closely
affecting, in sympathy at least, the
South American republics, should be
but the beginning Of useful co-orera-
ton in behalf Of progress and peace.
If it accompIishes nothing else, it will
have given to millions of Americans
a new and a higher idea of South
American craftsmanship and political
development, that cannot but offset
much ignorance in regard to Uncle
Sans %neighbors which has prevailed
far too widely.
But when all that is said, the fact
still remains hat President Lowell Of
Harvard was able to characterize
Senior Naon not only az a diplomat,
but as a philosopher, poet, educator,
jurist, and statesman. There are
surely but few if any American repre-
sentatives in foreign countries who
could be thus described.

Grain Shippers Of the
Northwest at Duluth

that h trip had been we'll worth the
time and money spent in taking it. He
mad entertained many enormous ideas
regarding the methods of conducting
the grain trade. but these had been
swept away as a result of what he
had seen. Il am glad" he said, "to

my wheat. I believe them to be fair
and straight clear to the bottom. I
am satisfied that Duluth must grow
with the Northwest, and we have
scarcely yet scratched the surface in
these three states in an agricultural
way. Not more than half Of North
Dakota is yet under cultivation. You
can imagine the amount of stuff that
will move when we get settlers in to
fill up the unoccupied areas, and prop
er farming methods are generally
adopted. When that time comes I
feel sure that Duluth viii be able to
handle the trade, no matter how large
it is"
"Numher. One Hard"
r. Y. Breed Of Crookston, Mimi, a
city which he described as second only
to Duluth in Importance in the state,
made a humorous reply in behalf of
he visitors. You grain men of Duluth
r a bunch of No. 1 hard wheat and
no dockage," he said. I'VE farmers Of
the fertile Red River valley need you
and o need us. We will try to do
our part in producing the grain, and
we feel sure that you will continue to
do yours in marketing it for U.s."
S. c. Rector of Judd, N. D., said the
organization of g~et-together clubs al
ways accomplished good in any com
munity. The movement tended to cor
rect any petty ~jealousies and to rub
off the rough edges. He expressed
himself as pleased to see that idea be-
ing extended between the grain grow
ers and the grain commission nen on
this occasion. IT wish that people who
do so much talking without under
standing their subject would turn in
and investigate for themselves. If
they did that in connection with
the grain trade as we are doing
in Duluth now, they would find that
there is no reason for calamity howl
ing" he said.
j. Ralph Pickell, of Chicago, secre-
tary of the council Of grain exchanges,
made a happy response to the toast,
The Trend of the Times" He pre-
dicted that a great struggle will de-
velop in the United States in the not
distant future between radicalism and
conservatism. He claimed Samuel
Gompers to be the most powerful in
dividual in American politics today,
and that he can accomplish more in
getting a bill through than n other
politician. Said he: "Radicalism is
growing. A great political war be-
tween the conservative citizens of the
country and the propertyless class, the
radicals, is coming. The old order
changeth."

Duluth, July 3.-Get-together was
the a~ll-prevading spirit manifested at
the dinner rendered by the Duluth
Board of Trade to its guests, the grain
shippers Of the Northwest, at the Ma
sonic temple Wednesday.
1t was the largest and most rep
resentative gathering ever held in Du-
luth nearly $50 being present and they
came from an area extending over
four states, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota and Montana.
Cooperation between the grain ship
per and the grain nan who markets
his produce at the lake terminals, was
the keynote of the various speakers.
AS w. ]. McCabe, president of the
board. said in the course Of his ad-
dress of welcome that the shippers
had been invited to visit Duluth with
the idea that they might become bet
ter acquainted with the men to whom
they had been forwarding their grain,
and that they might be able to see
for themselves the facilities afforded
and the methods in vogue for mar
keting it. These he felt firmly con-
WINGED are the most up-to-date on the
continent.
Wide Open.
Eyes" we are going to throw every
thing we have wide open for your in
spection, we are even going to give
you a chance to search at the eleva-
tors for the muck talked of suction
blower" said Watson S. Moore, toast
master for the occasion.
The mayor, W. 1. Prince, in his adj
dress of welcome in behalf of the
city, referred to the community OF
interest existing between the grain
producers Of the Northwest n the
Duluth commission merchants.
I'VE are all of great family in
these Northwest states, and we all
best promotes our own interests by
getting together in social and CONNER
cia1 intercourse" he said. He com
mended the high plane of ethics on
which the business Of grain marketing
is conducted by members Of the Du-
luth board of trade.
Isaac S. Moore, cashier of the'Amer-
lean Exchange National bank. in
speaking to the toast Of the Banker
and the Grain Trade" referred to the
immensely of the financial operations
involved in marketing the grain al
this point, making it necessary fol-
Duluth banks to carry large reserves
in order that the movement might not
be hampered. During the busy season
as much as 100000 a day be
provided on occasions to take care OF
the trade, he averred. He could only
remember one occasion, and that sew
eral years g when as a result of nm
ancial stringency, the grain move
ment was hampered for a few days
leading to a general decline in the
market for the time being. With the
coming into operation of the federal
reserve banking system he did not
think there would be any danger of a
recurrence of such a money strin-
gency.

FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1914.
THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

Following the primary election Their
has been an unusually strong demand
expressed in editorial comment in tn
state press, for some change or modi
1cation of the primary law. The fol
lowing from The Wahpeton Times,
democratic paper. Is typical of tn
criticisms leveled against the presen
law:
1t is difficult to see wherein
primary elections, with all their
expense to the counties and state,
and their long strain on the can
didates, are better than a we'll reg
ulated caucus. AS a rule we have
no better candidates than we for
- merly had, and under our present
r primary system Of elections a
poor man Is at a greater dlsad-
vantage in a campaign than he
formerly was.
No poor man, unless he has al
ready been in office to give him
a wide acquaintance, can afford
to make two campaigns for an Of
fice, and he has mighty little show
for election even if he does at
tempt to do so. This is nov a
well known fact and is no longer
a mere theory. 1t costs lots Of
money to travel and pay hotel
bills, and when a poor man is
compelled to make a campaign
that shall be statewide, how is he
to do so?
The expense Of a campaign to
each county averages more than
a thousand dollars to the tax
payers, and what do they gain by O..
1t? The additional expense to the
candidates is still a greater sum,
perhaps, and why not save all
this? With s~tricter laws to per-
feet the caucus method Of select
ing county and state tickets. what
more do we need?
The only real demand for prim-
airy elections from a desire
to be less boss-ridden than we
were under the old caucus system,
but we still have the same old
bosses, who are just as busy in a
campaign and before it as bosses
ever were, the primary election
having made it necessary only
that they change their methods.
But the bosses new methods are
just as Objectionable as the old
methods were, and what have we
gained for all this big additional
expenditure of money?
What we need today, and we
need it just as badly as we ever
did, is a short ballot and a short
campaign, free from boss rule
and which will give a worthy poor
man the same show for a nomi-
nation that a weather. n has.
The Forum is of the opinion tina
there is some justice in this deman
for a change in the law. The primar,
system is a marked improvement owe
the old caucus system, but it practical
ly bars a poor man from getting elect
ed to Office.
The people of North Dakota will no
allow a backward step by doing ava
with the primary but it is probabl
that some system will be worked GU
TO modify it. There certainly mus
be some way Of protecting the publ
against boss rule without ~incurrin
this enormous public and private ex
pense.
For n thing, four year terms in
stead Of two for all state and count
Offices would be a big help. Governo
Hanna has always insisted thai thi
lie g needed reform in state govern
rnent. 1t would do away with the ex
pense Of these frequent elections an
election campaign. and the peopl
would get better service.
