MINNESOTA'S TRUST FUND
 REALARkABLE

By conserving its natural re- sources, preserving its gifts from
 the nation, busbanding its revenues and income from land sales and
 from timber and iron ore royalties
 and by holding intact all accrelons
 to the capital thus acquired and iu- tended to be used in tuTJheran-- of educational and other public Dug- poses, Minnesota has accumulated a
 trust fund amounting to S5o,22l,- AIS, @ sum exceeding, it is held,
 that of the combined funds ol sim lar character in twenty out of the twenty-five states east of the lLlssi- ssippi river. This has not been @y- compIished, of course, without con-
 siderable self-dcniaI and seil-sler.-
 flee on the part of Niuuesota.s peo- pie. By throwing the resources of
 their state wide open to all comers,
 as their ueighbOrs did very large
 Iy, they could have induced earlier and greater exploitation of those resources, calling tt development.
 and with this 8 greater flow of investment capital and immlgro-ou. but they were wise, We rhuk, to let their state take on it's growth in @ more conservative way.
 The state had advantages enough
 to offer homeseekers and investors without granting them prizes to
 the impairment of its permanent
 capital; and one of the results O. its indisposition to dispossess iyselt iu order to provide more for the iucomer than perhaps he was en- titled to, is its ownership today of lands granted by the government. which yield an annual income to its l treasury of $I,200,000.
 All such income-al income de-
 rived from it's property in trust and from it's trust fund-goes toward
 the maiutainauce of its university.
 its other state schools, to educa-
 ton in general, and to bridge and
 road improvements. The trust fund
 can never be diverted from such uses and can never be dimiu.sleL. !. It is the existence of this fund that makes possible a statement of such import as that the educational in-
 stitutiOns of Minnesota are uu- Iique in presenting a complete sys- 1 tem of secularized school instruction in which tuition is absolutely free Of charges, from A B C % the doe torate of philosophy" This is some thing to be justly proud of. and wherever there is opportunity for any state or any province in any country now laying the foundation

others in which initiative petitions are
being circulated with good prospects Of
success. In seven Southern states
the legislatures meet in 1914, and the
growth of suffrage sentiment in the
South makes us feel that we have
only to concentrate on those leglsla-
lures TO make some OF them any

we shall. And for those states in when
no immediate campaign is pending we re-
solve TO sow the seed that Will make them

Mrs Dodge, doubled the membership OF
our national association. At the end or
1912 we numbered 1000 We now have

double it again.
"Our most striking victory last year
was the defeat of the suffrage bill In

against that measure from 700 to $4,000.

Emerson and other philosophers have
frequently stated that in spite of the
apparent inequalities in this world the
law of compensation sees to 1t that
things are pretty fairly adjusted anC
that nobody really gets more than any
body else. A new and striking proof OF
this is the fact that yesterday DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
and Mrs. Arthur Murray Dodge presi-
dent Of the National Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage. each stated that the
past year had been the most gratifying
and fruitful of any in the history of her
movement and that the prospect Of
whipping the enemy mad never been So
good as for the year 1914.
Both presidents issued q message, sum
ming up things achieved and things
hoped for.
Standing on the threshold OF 1914,
said DR.. Shaw. I'VE suffraeists are de-
lighted with the recognition OF women
shown in the appointment by Mayor
Mitchell of DR.. Katherine q. Davis to the
position of Commissioner Of Corrections
OF the City of New York. This, follow
ing the appointment Of Miss Julia La
throp as head Of the Federal Children's
Bureau. and the appointment OF Mrs. j.
Borden Hartman as n member OF the
Federal Industrial Commission, is one OF
many evidences that the government Is
recognizing womans ability 10 fill places
of trust and power. Suffragists should
be able to make resolutions for work this
New Years Day with JOY and ferVor, Tor
we are swept on by a stronger swell OF
public sentiment than any one could
have foreseen a few years ago. We are
upheld by the growing consciousness OF
American men that II is shameful
thing TO have their women governed by
black men. red men, yellow men, men
from every country and no country gath
cred under this flag.
Let every suffragist to-day resolve 10
carry on the fight with all her might.
The first strategic point OF attack Is
Congress. The Senate committee has
presented a report favorable to US. The
Rules Committee OF the House cannot
fail to give us the suffrage committee

Says DR.. Zwemer.

FORCE, HE DECLARES
Christianity Only Hope for Real
Nationalism, 5000 Students
Are Told.

Kansas city. Dec 3l.-"The greatest
missionary problem next TO the evan
gelzation OF China, with IT'S four hundred
millions. Is that OF the Moslem world
declared DR.. Samuel NJ. Zwemer. OF
Cairo, Egypt, tonight in addressing the
Student Volunteer Convention, which
opened here to-day.
The subject OF the evening addresses.
delivered by DR.. Zwemer and the Rev.
Charles r. Watson. OF Baltimore, was
the Appeal Presented by Present Day
Tendencies and Activities in the Mo.
hammedan World
1.-THE secular press and colonial gov
ernments are now fully conscious that
Islam is a world power" said DR..
Zwemer. They are compelled by pres
ent day events and movements 10 give
serious study to the subject. During the
past five years more books OF Islam have
appeared in Europe than in any previous
decade The unity of the problem is
felt by Moslems themselves as never
before.
Balkan War Barred Problems.
"The Balkan war has laid bare before
the Mussulman the great secular prob
lens of his faith. He has begun to per-
ceive for the first time, after many cen
turtles. that Islam is not a mere termino-
logical expression representing diverse
communities with lives apart, but living
force OF spiritual and social cohesion
binding all Moslems in an indlssoluole
unity OF hope, purpose, duty and en-
deavor.
1.-THE events OF the last year in the po-
litlcal world have made so deep an inn
preston on Mahometans that they no
longer fail to see the close relation be-
tween the political collapse OF the Turk
ish Empire and the social disintegration
OF the Moslem world in general.
christianity and Christian education
are the only hope for real nationalism
in the Moslem world The development OF
Christian character is the only guarantee
OF liberty, equality and fraternity, as well
as self-government for the nations of the
Nearer East"
The Rev. Mr.. Watson spoke on 1.-The
Appeal OF Islam in Africa" He said:
shall we tarry and triie in our mis-
sion while Africa is being made the prey
OF Islam? The answer most come In
terms OF vision and life, and I know oil
no gathering more vitality related to tho
determining OF mission vision and the d.
