Minnesota has had surfeit Of
''favorite son" governors and gov
ernors who were struck on the mel
odv of their own voice. Just for a
change how would it be to elect a
governor who is not long on oratory
and short in business and execut tive
ability? William E. Lee can deliver
a good, plain talk but he does not
pretend to be an orator. He is a
self-made, successful business man.
A man who has made success of his
own business is the kind of man
that ought to successfully manage
the state's business. Minnesota has
had enough cheap advertising. The
best advertising the state can re-
ceive is well-managed state institu
tions and true efficiency and econom.
in the administration of state affair
generally.

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1914

The Underwood tariff is not accom-
plishing the miracles predicted by
it's democratic sponsors. Imports of
completed manufactures have in
creased by less than nine per cent.
If American prices were far out of
line with those abroad, foreign man.
ufacturers could now compete with
ease. The small increase in imports
tends to contradict the theory that
predatory combinations we're making
unreasonable prices the rule in
America.

The Panama canal was officially
opened last Saturday and the receipts
for the first day,were $4,000. The
canal, which stands as the greatest
engineering feat in the history of
the world, will be constant source
of revenue to the nation; and will
also mean a great saving to ship
owners, not only in time but also in
fuel.

Organized charity is being investi-
gated and conditions are not as they
should be. Facts recently brought
to light in the investigation of a
case have already led federal official
to EXPRESS his doubt as to whether,
in the future, organized charity can
be much else than a source of irrita-
tion to the workers and menace to
the effort that is being made to es-
tablish industrial Justice.

The democrats throughout the ma
tion are ]auding President Wilson
with an enthusiasm that knows no
bounds. Of course that is to be ex-
pected. However when an upstate
editor, in speaking of the president,
gravely states that ellis ability is
doubtless underestimated even by
his own partly it causes US to Won
der whether the chief executive is
after all merely man.

A widely circulated eastern weekly
that is particularly servile to Wall

that industrial conditions are perfect
on the ground that it is easier for a
young man to earn living now than
it was for his father. The mere fact
that conditions are gradually i'm
proving is no reason why an effort
should not be made to better them.

The federal government is laying
down rules for the regulation of bust

connected with the administration
of affairs before it attempts tc
regulate private enterprises. x

President Wilson does not take
kindly to the proposition that Amer
lean financiers aid certain European
powers in a financial way during the
war period. He is right in his views,
as monetary assistance to countries
that are involved in the conflict will
prolong hostilities instead of shorten
ing them.

We can not say that we heartily
commend field day for the schools, be-
cause honestly we believe there is
more display and fuss and feathers
about il than real benefit, and we SER
iously doubt if net results in benefit
to the children and schools will pay
for the outlay Of time and money OF
course, as Prof. Derrick would say,
contests of any kind are helpful and
contact of mind with mind is educa
lion, but in this matter, there is more
display and hurrah than there is con-
test and more fuss and feathers than
contact. We can not help saying this
because we believe ii.
Yet, we are to have the field day,
and the point of these remarks, if they
have any point, is to say that We want
10 see all the schools represented and
We want every one 10 do what he can
to give to the children who take part
the greatest possible benefit, Let the
people OF the town join With the peo-
pie from the country in making of

benefit there may be possible to de-
rive from it.

its part by giving of its space to arti-

Washington, Aug. John Burke,
treasurer of the United States, issued
a statement to-day giving further ex-
planation of how friends of Americans
stranded in Europe may deposit funds
in their behalf with the Treasury De-
partment.
1T will save time and avoid con-
fusion and errors" said Mr.. Burke, "if
depositors will furnish a written men,
orandum giving plainly their name
and address and the name and address
and a brief description of the per-
sons to whom it is desired payment
shall be made, giving If possible the
age, height, weight, complexion and
color of hair and eyes. This will facili-
tate identification of the payee and
lessen the possibility of payments be-
ing made to the wrong persons, as de-
posits are accepted only at the risk of
the owner"
Mr.. Burke explained that deposits
may be made with assistant treasurers
at Baltimore. Boston, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, New York, New Orleans, Phil

British Cruiser Sinks
After Striking Mine
Special to The Telegraph

London, Aug. 7.-An official Ad-
miralty report says that the British
cruiser Amphion was sunk yesterday
morning by striking a mine.
Paymastor ]. t. Gedge and 130 men
were lost The captain. sixteen of
ficers and 1876 men were saved.
Anothe report says that the AM
phion, which was the flagship of the
third torpedoboat f1otilla, was dam
aged by a shell when the f1otilla at
tackled a German flying squadron
sixty miles from Harwich. The Ger
man warships were conveying the
miner layer Koenigen Luse, which
was sunk by the British torpedoboat
Lance.
The Lance fired only four shots
The first destroyed the bridge of the
steamer. the third and fourth tore
away the stern and the Koenigen
Luise sank in six minutes.
The Admiralty states that a line of
mines probably had been laid by the
German mine ship Koenigen Luise
prior to her sinking on the Dutch
coast. 1t is supposed that the Am
phion struck one of these mines after
sinking the German ships.
Reports of the engagement say that
the British flotilla captured two of
the German ships.
More than 200 German prisoners,
taken from two boats that surrender
ed, were landed at Harwich, England,
and are being held there.
A torpedoboat took twenty-eight to
the Shotley naval station, just oppo-
site Harwich, while other wounded
were landed at Harwich and taken
care of in the little hospital there and
in some of the public buildings that
had been made into temporary hos
pitfalls on orders from the British fleet
commander.
The hospital authorities at Hull to-
day received orders to prepare to re-
ceive $50 men wounded in the North
Sea engagenlnt.
Shipping firms have been informed
that the east coast is now clear from
Hull to London. Coastwise services
have been resumed and fishing vessels
are free to proceed to Iceland.
