AMERICAN COMMERCE ON SOUND
FOOTING

Henry Clews, the noted financial au-
thority in a letter to the Minneapolis
Tribune, says:
Gradually but surely business of all
kinds is being resumed, and the worlds
commerce is adjusting itself to the
necessities of war. BY far the greatest
and most important basis of improve
ment has been the partial restoration
of international trade. Traffic is now
practically safe across the Atlantic n
through the Mediterranean, two chan
nels through which much the largest
share Of the worlds commerce travels.
The route to South America is also
practically open.
German boats, representing an en-
ormous tonnage, are of course out OF
employment, and the sudden with,
drawal of so large a capacity must con-
tinue to be a serious inconvenience,
The loss of tonnage will fall most
severely upon the passenger service,
Dut THIS class OF ITdUuC PROMISES W VI
exceedingly light for at least a year
or so to come,
Fortunately freight transportation is
being rapidly resumed; chartering has
become much more active, and very
soon our wheat and cotton will be go
ing abroad in liberal quantities. Ger
many will not be able to buy our grain
or cotton with any freedom; but Eng
land must have both in large amounts
and will be able to secure them as
long as she can control the sea. This
helps matters very materially on this
side of the Atlantic, and will lessen or
avert the loss hat threatened our
southern and western farmers by an
embargo upon transatlantic routes.
The proposal of our government to
buy a large foreign fleet of merchant
vessels is now unnecessary. 1t is un.
wise for both political and CONNER
cial reasons. Our government would
be entering upon an exceedingly costly
and losing operation for the purpose

trary the objections TO woman sun
rage appears to me involved, while the
arguments advanced in support of the
proposition are in my judgment con-
vincing." He then proceeds TO de-
molish some of the objections that up
to date thinking have rendered obso-
lete. Disclaiming any purpose OF
elaborate discussion for the present.
he presents the argument which TO
him is of greatest weight. He says:
Without minimizing other arguments
advanced in support OF extending sun
rage to women, l place the emphasis
upon the mothers right to a voice in
moulding the environment which
shall surround her children, an en-
vironment which operates powerfully
in determining whether her offspring
will crown her later years with JOY or
bring down her gray hairs in sorrow to
the grave.
The Creator has placed upon the
mother a burden which she could not
shift if she so desired, and He has
given her a disposition to bear it. Her
life trembles in the balance at the
child's birth; her active years are
given to the care and nurture of her
children; her nerve force and vital
energy are expended in their behalf;
her exhaustless love is poured out
upon them. Because the wealth OF
her existence is poured out upon them
they are part Of her being-where
your treasure is there will be your
heart also. l am not willing to stay
the mather's hand if she thinks that
by the use of suffrage she can safe
guard the welfare of those who are
dearer to her than her own life.
1.-The mother can justly claim the
right to employ every weapon which
a be made effective for the protec-
ton of those whose interests she
guards and the ballot will put within
her reach all of the instrumentalities
of government, including the police
power"
Continuing in B%ryanesque style he
thinks it should not be left to a ma
jority of the women to decide nor does
he think politics would suffer from
woman's entrance into it. On the con-
trary he thinks that the world would
probably be bettered by her voting.

SHEPHERD TO WANDERING
BLACK SHEEP

In the Interesting People" depart
ment of the September American Mag
azine appears a sketch of the Rev,
Go Lightly" Morrill-frst aid to the
iniquitous in Minneapolis good man
who is doing a fine work. Following
is an extract:
The Reverend Go Lightly Morrill,,
the sporting mems preacher is per-
haps the most widely known person
age in Minneapolis, the shepherd Of
wandering black sheep.
Years ago he was a regular preach,
er, a Baptist, serving prominent
churches, but a sick saloon-keeper
changed all that.
Morrill, he said, when Morrill,
had called on him day after day in his
sickness, you're not like other preach
ers. You haven't read the Bible at me
nor prayed owe me; but you've help
ed me just the anne I'm going to
build a theatre, and it's yours on SUM-
day for seven years without charge.
You car work as you please, and say
what you please, and be a first aid to
the iniquitous of the city
ut was just what Morrill, had been
waiting for. When the time came to
break ground for the theater he dug
the first w~heelbarrow load of dirt, and
wheeled it through the streets headed
by a brass band. People of all sorts
lined the sidewalks and threw money
into his barrow, wishing him luck. So
began the Peoples Church, Rev. G. l..
Morrill,. Pastor, a church without
creeds or membership, or ordinances
or collections. To that church he has
ministered, preaching, praying, and
paying the bills ever since.
1T was during the evil days of Doc
Ames, the notorious mayor of Mime.
apolis, that the name Go Lightly at
tached itself to him. He denounced the
mayor one Sunday morning in terms
that made that dissolute dignitary
writhe. You are too harsh said the
mayor in his own little paper next
morning. Go lightly, Morrill,. and W
will straighten things out Go Lightly
echoed the populace, and the name,
which seemed somehow appropriate,
has chung.
You are not in Minneapolis long be-
fore you hear about him. His picture
hangs in every hotel lobby, in every
theater, even in burlesque houses, and
in every saloon. Few men are so
ubiquitous, so incessant in well-doing.
Is there a poor b~edraggled girl from
the district for whom fate has found
a husband? Send for Go Lightly; he
will marry them. Has drink flung a
sotted victim disdainfully into the
morgue? Go Lightly is there with the
sobbing mother to intercede with his
God for the soul of her boy. Is there
to be a boxing match for charity in the
Auditorium? Go Lightly will play the
pipe organ for an hour before the first
bout.
His church services are announced
in the amusement columns of the
newspapers; his church bulletin car
ries paid advertising to help defray
the expenses. He has performed mar
riages in lions cages, preached at Sun
day ball games, and conducted muir
derer's funerals"

DAIRY COW SOLVES FREIGHT

Dairy farming reduces the expense

states Prof. c. Larson of the State
College. Prof. Larson goes on to say
that this is especially true of the farm
er in the middle western states whose
market is Chicago. Many farmers
are located from six to fifteen miles
from a shipping point. To haul a load
of hay or grain will cost a days wages
of team and man. Shipping corr from
Sioux City or Mitchell to Chicago costs
about tic per cwt,-for hay zoe per
cwt.
During the winter months a dairy
COW will eat about three tons of hay
and one ton Of grain. To get this feed
for one COW from the farm to Chicago
market costs:
Hauling from farm to shipping
point three loads of hay at
$500 per load 5000
Hauling from farm to shipping
point one load of grain. ....... 400

"A fairly good dairy COW is able to
change this feed into 800 pounds Of
butter. Shipping 800 pounds of butter
to Chicago costs about s1.35. Adding
$500 for hauling makes a total cost
of 1886. The dairy cow has reduced
the cost of marketing from s31.40 to

As the principal thoroughfare of any ordinary city in this country. Central avenue, where the great tide of our visiting and home population ebbs and flows would be a disgrace. As the Great Broadway of cosmopolitan resort, the avenue is even worse.
 The street itself, in it's normal con. dition, is half paved thoroughfare paved evenly in spots, with holes that fill with and contain water in other spots.
 Usually about state fair time or during the midseason, or any other pe- riod when travel is likely 10 be high. there is season of patching that i'm pedes traffic for a few days The patching is usually not worth the price paid for it.
 While Central avenue is wet down" through the sprinkling system, vet it remains unwashed Our sprinkling system is no. adequate to public de mand. The reason for this Is probably that the revenue is insufficient.
 Then comes the other great com plaint-the one which is greater than all others. Tine sidewalks are part Of the street in 6 way. yet a part The care of which lies with the property owner or tenant Early in the morn ing there is a general dry sweeping O, the Central avenue walks There is a stir of poisonous filth and germs, generally over dry walk.
