CURRENT COMMENT
Congratulations, Mr.. Wilson.

President Wilson has won a notable
victory in securing, by vote of so to
S5, the repeal of the tolls exemption
clause. 1t has been long struggle and
hard one. To win it by so decisive a
tive triumph of the first order.
When The Herald predicted, on the
bills reaching the Senate, that it would
finally prevail there by majority of
10 to H. many of the presidents ex-
tremer critics among our readers ex-
pressed dissent at so generous an esti-
mate. They conceded it might pass by
four or five votes. But experience in
such matters is that tide once started
reaches unexpected heights, and the pres
ident then seemed to be clearly win
ming. This had been the experience in
the Senate with his tariff and his cur
rency reform bills. On the final passage
they carried bigger majorities than any
body had expected in their earlier
stages.
The presidents victory is one for good
conscience. Our authorities bungled bad
ly in making such treaty as they did,
but few people who read it can see the
English language in any other way than
that we agreed 10 treat all nations alike.
We should not, however, be satisfied
with the present status. We should pro-
coed by direct subsidy to reimburse our
shipowners, both in the coastwise and
foreign trades, to the full extent of their
tolls at Panama.
1t would certainly be disgrace to us
to build the ditch at so prodigous a
cost and then make little use of it. We
must restore the American flag to the
high seas, and an early step in that d.
rection would be its restoration to le-
climate fraction of the tariff that goes
through Panama. Until we make such
an arrangement, 30 per cent. of the ship
ping there will be done under flags other
tltln our own.-Boston Herald.

Dundee minister preached on the
test, "Thou art weighed in the balance
and art found wanting" After the con-
gregation had listened an hour some be-
came very weary and went out, greatly
to the annoyance of the minister. An
other person started, whereupon the par
son stopped his sermon and said: THAT'S
right, my friends As fast as you are
weighed pass out" He continued his
sermon for some time, but no one dis
turbed him by leaving.

The late Adlai z. Stevenson was re-
garded as political patriarch, much as
Henry Gassaway Davis of West Virginia
is regarded; yet Stevenson was less than
70 years of age. The reason why his
name was linked with things ancient in
the political history of the United States
was because he was vice president dur
ing the second administration of Grover
Cleveland and because great deal has
happened in the country since the sec
ond term of Cleveland. Stevenson's chief
public service was back in 1898 and
running to 1897, when he was second
man in the Democratic administration
OF that period.

The closing of Chicago bank, over
which William Lorimer is president, by
order of the state bank examiner is an
other blow to man who has been in
trouble of numerous kinds for several
years; but without doubt the most Sc
we're blow in connection Herewith will
fall on the depositors, who have several
millions of dollars entrusted to the in
stitution. Probably a large percentage
of the depositors are persons who are
little able to bear the shock of loss of
their savings, and for their good, in the
first place, it is hoped that the institu
ton will be reha affiliated or their money
returned without decrease.

!, 1t would be a good policy for commu-
mites that place oil on their streets in
order to keep the dust down, to sprinkle
a covering of granite dust or fine gravel
on top of the oil just as soon as the mix
ture is laid The granite dust or fine
gravel serves as fine cover for the worn
places. Moreover, the sprinkling re-
moves part of the positive disadvantages
of having the sticky, slippery stuff on
the roads.

be the polo cup than anything else; and
they bid fair to do so, if the result oil
the first match with the so-called Amer
lean team can be used as safe basis
for Judgment. We are not positive that
the team which is representing the
United States is the best in the country
by any means, as it does not seem to be
picked by the process of elimination of
possible defenders but selection seems to
be the prerogative of certain small
coterie of followers of that kind of sport.
For that reason the cause of the defend
ers of the trophy is not being SO earnest
ly espoused throughout the entire United
States as would otherwise be the case,
albeit around New York there is more
than passing interest, perhaps. There
would not be great deal of national
depression if the Britishers should lift
the polo cup during the present effort.

G. Fl. Bickford's Death.

1t is unusual that the death of a
man in Vermont who has never held a
public office or pushed to the front to
make himself prominent calls forth so
many expressions of genuine sorrow as
that of the late George H. Bickford of
Hardwick A portion of the newspaper

THE MONEY COST OF WAR.

What would a great European war
costa The question is a pertinent one
because Of the situation which now
exists on the continent, with Austria
and Servia at the point of combat,
and otheh powers looking anxiously
on, with the possibility that they may
be drawn into the conflict.
An eminent Paris statistician has
made an estimate of the money cost
of maintaining the armdes of Germany
England, France, Russia, Italy, Aus.
tria and the Balkan states if such a
var should take place, and he con.
cludes that the cost would be about
$$54, oo0,o 1000 a day.
DR.. Richet bases his estimates On
the assumption that, roughly 100000.
900 men would be called to arms Of
whom at least half would be sent t.
the front. On this basis he works out
the daily expenditures for the seven
powers as follows-the figures being
here rendered into dollars:

returning all this which they have
wrough to chaos.
That must be the reason why the
French people, that is, the group of
people who 30 plainly have held in
their hands the threads Of this com:
edy-tragedy, have chosen to conclude
the farce as & farce and not to lift
it to high tragedy, cosmic tragedy,
which only the gods could control.

Another indication of the very pros
porous times under the present Dem,
ccratic administration is the fact that
the Great Northern railroad has just
laid off about 500 men, 800 of them
from their St. Paul shops, and reports
state that it is expected that 200 moro
will be laid off soon, And this com
ing just at a time in the year when
it would be expected that railroad
business would be at its height. An.
other report says that 10000 idle men
are mobilizing in the Twin Cities to
push west in search Of work in the
harvest fields. Yes, the tariff was
lowered to help the laboring man, but
what difference to him if the neces,
saries of life are a little cheaper,

1t is very evident that the figures
of the crop experts will need consid-
cradle revising as the harvest season
draws near. Only a few weeks ago
they had North Dakota raising one
Of the biggest crops in the history Of
the state, and in fact they had a man
moth crop the world over, but reports
are now coming in that the great sur
plus in sight is shrinking and before
the grain is all threshed we predict
that it will be found that there is
really a shortage the world over ana
that the price of wheat is too low,
when figured from the basis Of supply
and demand. We presume that Ram
sey county has a crop that will av-
erage up fairly we'll with any county
il the state, and yet we will have
only a medium crop, far less than we
produced in 1912. Many fields Of
wheat are now ripe and is being har-
vested, but it is very evident that
this grain has ripened prematurely
and when 1t is threshed it will not
be the bumper crop that was looked
forward to. We doubt If ever be.
fore in the history Of the county have
we seen spring wheat harvest begin
in July, and it plainly shows that the
lack of moisture late in the season
and the hot weather has forced grain
too fast and that it has been badly
injured. Only a short time ago near
~ every county in the state was est
mated all the way from 10 to IS bush
els Of wheat to the acre, but we pre-
dict that the average in this state
will not be over ten bushels at the
outside.

Papers fled in court yesterday be-
gun the attack on the Equity Co.
operative Exchange. Engerud Of this
city and Witherow Of Mooread are
the attorneys. They allege various
reasons and claim a debt in favor Ct
a client, a commission house at Du-
luth. This is seemingly a part Of the
program in behalf of Big Interests
in both business and politics in this
state. The farmers should watch
every branch of government as well
as. all political moves. The hearing
on the 5th of August will probably
bring in a number Of farmers. 1t
will probably be discovered that
there is stalwart politics behind the
move and the farmers will be negli.
gent if they do not keep actively
alert and Look in every direction to
note the nice articulatin that may
be shown in this matter by various
interests. Important business, poll
teal, and other developments are
not far ahead.
The above is taken from the Far
60 Searchlight, and no one would ex
pect anything from that paper but
the rankest kind of rot. It may b.
true that the grain dealers of thu
Twin Cities and Duluth may be aftel
the Equity Exchange, but the Search
light tries at every turn of the roat
to charge everything up to the "Stal
warts'', and even in this article the.
have to bring in a little Of that dope
We would ask the Searchlight who ar
the stalwarts? 1t is just such rag
as the Searehlight that is trying t.
keep up the strife within the Repub
lican party to the benefit Of the Dem
ocrats and an opportunity is neve
lost to cry "stalwarts". For year
that paper has tried to keep up strit'
within the ranks Of the Republican
party, when in reality it should b
in the Democratic ranks and fyin;

SENTENCED TO THE NAVY
cleveland Plain Dealer

cleveland Plain Dealer.)
1t has remained for Lieutenant Reu.
ben r. Smith Of the navy, a mere re
cruiting officer at Portland, Ore, to
deliver a rebuke where a rebuke has
long been needed.
It has been a not uncommon prac'
tice for magistrates to sentence Of
tenders to enlistment in the navy.
The alternative is offered of the pen
itentiary or the navy, and the late,
is of course chosen. A Judge Kavan
augh Of Portland had recourse to this
expedient in disposing Of an OFFENDED
whom he did not wish to put in the
~penitentiary. The offender went a
once to Lieutenant Smith and Lier
tenant Smith at once rejected him.
He made a formal statement to the
effect that the United States navy i:
not a penal Institution for the recep
tion of felons. He then wrote Judge
Kavanaugh to the amt effect. Later
he submitted the whole matter Il
the Secretary Of the Navy.
Mr.. Daniels has upheld and praised
lieutenant Smith. He has definitely
laid down the principle that the nav,
is not a reformatory or a receivin.

La Commedia e fnita-the com
edy is finished!
1t is the most tragic line, excepting
that other super-tragic word-it is
finished. And the last whisper of

be said, as the. final curtain goes
down on the Caillaux-C almette dra-
ma.
This most logical people of all peo-
pie, this most relentlessly regular and
straightforward working racial mind,
has faltered in the presence of an
a~ll-revealing performance, and has
rung the curtain down on a play
which has amused and Mortified the
nations, a play in which all the mo-
tives were not revealed, and all the
consequences are not yet foretold. |
There is no question but that the play
goes on, and things have happened,
and will happen, which would be cas-
lily understood had we been permitted
to understand at all. AS it is, gov.
ernments and individuals agree to
omit from the presentation the fatal
and significant act which would have
made big and open tragedy, and to
finish the whole as a comedy.
There is no question but that at
this moment, when affairs in all Eu-
rope are tremendously at risk, that
the smallest exposure, the slightest
confession would burn up them ap and
call all nations to a CHASTITY course Of
reconstruction. The small hint, from
the Hungarian opposition is pregnant
with the great possibilities. On this
side, where we play the game Of pol.
itical shifts 80 openly, we can little
appreciate the continued Machivellian
tactics that pervade the smallest move
in Europe, which make the move sig
n%ifcant, and possibly sinister. No
French official and certainly no
French editor, but plays his part and
seeks to play it, not only in French
affairs, but in that Intervening Of
European affairs which is closer
among those nations than it is among
our American states.
