SIBERIAN TOWN To
Be AMERlCANIZED
RUSSIANS PLEASED WITH PLANS
PROPOSED At COUNCIL
AT TOMSK.

Petrograd, October 31.--All the
Russian papers are commenting on
the fact that the Russo-American
Asiatic Society, not long since estab-
lished in New York, has proposed to
the Town Council Of Tomsk (Siberia)
to provide the town with street cars,
railroads, electric lighting, canals,
etc, and to thoroly Americanize the
city.
The Russians are much pleased at
the prospect and some remark that
the scheme recalls an early period
of Russian history. About 1000
years ago, the Russian nation sought
guidance of the people of the Varia-
ii, asking them for a ruling prince.
"Our lountry," they said, "is rich
and powerful, but there is great lack
of order i'm our midst. Come and
rule over us and restore order and
tranquility"
1.-THE result was that Prince Rarik
was appointed as the Grst Russian
prince
do the Americans" say the news
papers, "now propose to repeat his
tory by taking over the role of the
Variaja of 1000 years ago."

CONFERENCE
CONSIDERS UNION QUESTION

Atlanta. Ga, oct 2S.-ln reply to
proposals made at the 1916 confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, regarding the question of the
union of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and the Methodist
Protestant Church, the college of
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, today issued a state
ment declaring that the action of the
southern church must be determin-
ed by its commissioners appointed
six years ago on the joint commits
sion of federation.
The statement said to be the I'M
animous action of the southern bish-
ops, calls attention to the fact that
the suggestions of the JOINT commits
sion have been ratified by the Metho-
dist Protestant Church and by the
Southern Church also with single
important modification.
In discussing the proposals the
bishops statement declares:
''The history of Southern Metho-
dism is not something to be ashamed
of--no matter into what alliances
we may enter in the future, we should
go into them not crawling upon the
earth. but with uplifted faces and
unn hated self-respect.

before Woodrow Wilson the irresti-
bic tide of demand rising for legis-
lation that would free the men of the
sees from the slavery of feudalism.
Woodrow Wilson's credit in this
legislative record is the credit due TO
a man who saw the limited coming
down the track and had brains
enough to get out of the way.
"The simple fact--it seems not to
have dawned on many who should be
quick to grasp it's, that Woodrow
Wilson came 70 the Presidency at a
time when the social protest of the
nation was rising to its peak. He
came at time when men and women
were bound to be heard. He came
at a time when the first defenses
of the old order were doomed and
had to go. The laws that men call
good have come to us because the
people demanded them and would
not be denied. They came as the
fruit of a great. sweeping wave OF
protest against reaction and capital
list combination. They had to come.
Woodrow Wilson did not come TO
the Presidency determined upon n
sweeping program of liberal laws.
He came to the Presidency con-
servative, If not a reactionary, with
out sympathy with organized labor,
without any adequate conception of
the needs of the people of the coun-
try or of their temper. And on the
crest of mighty wave of popular
demand, which he had at times the
good political sense not to resist ov-
erly much, he has carried himself to
n position where he can, by drawing
upon a vast reserve of bluff, declare
himself the champion Of popular re-
mauds.

Protection Refused.

1--WE now hear fine words as to
our duties to the world. We are told
that we are now to serve the world.
that we have the best genius in the
world, but we have never thought
of using that genius outside of our
own markets. II is said that we
have provided machinery for branch
banks abroad. But what avails such
words when we do not protect AM
erican dives and American property
abroad? The adequate protection of
American citizens and their inter
ests abroad according to their right
under international law is the corner
stone of policy to promote American
enterprise throughout the world.
This protection has been deliberately
and deplorably refused by this Ad-
ministration. Charles Z, Hughes,

The Room In Zinc.

American zinc has never been ex-
ported in large quantities. In Jan
uary, 1914, only 230 tons were ship
ped abroad. and the average for the
succeeding FIVE months fell below
this figure. In September of the first
war year the exports reached the un-
precedented height of 1900 tons
In October 10000 tons went to Eu-
rope, yet the price continued to de-
cline. The analytic features Of the
American zinc products seemed to be
paralyzed by the catastrophe. They
had the worlds spelter business in
the hollow of their hand and did not
know it.
There is no lack Of zinc in Eu-
rope; Germany, Austria, Belgium,
Italy, Spain, Russia, Northern France,
all have it; Australia has great zinc
mines; deposits have been newly OPP
ened in Burma and Siberia, but the
concentrates of all these mines are
reduced in German-cOntrOlled smelt-
ers located in Germany and Belgium.
When the war broke out Great Brit
ain found herself with an abundant
supply of zinc ore and wholly insult
icient plants to smelt more than n
fraction of II. Thus the United States
in twinkling became the sole source
%, ~, oil nj u
world except the central powers. And
zinc constitutes one-third of the brass
indispensable in the manufacture of
| ammunition. Early in 1915 the Am
erican zinc producers, focusing their
eyes upon world conditions, sudden
ly realized that the power to fix the
price of spelter had passed from
Frankfort, to Missouri. So they took
a deep, joyful breath and proceeded
to fix the price.
They sent zinc up cent, cents,
even 3 cents at time. II leaped
from cents in January to 81 cents
in June. closing the year 1915 at II
cents a pound.
In September of the presnt year
it was still bringing 8 cents pound,
twice the average price of the last
Is years, Notwithstanding produc-
ton almost double that of 1918. New
err before had the zinc districts of
Missouri, Oklahoma, of New Jersey
and the far west experienced great
err prosperity-and probably they
will never again see a period likt il,
Scores of new mines were opened,
especially in the Joplin district; old
mines unable to operate when zinc
brought only 8 cents pound started
up again. Zinc ore that was dump
en, zinc tailings and the leanest of
zinc deposits were worked up. And
| the established zinc producers fairly
spOuted dividends. Prior TO 1914
the Butte G. Superior had paid no
dividends on its capital of ST.
700, 900; since then this one mine has
disbursed over $40,O0O,O00 TO its
stockholders. During the first six
months of 1916 it was producing
zinc at the rate of 1S0,000,000
pounds a year, with profit of mil
lion a month. The Interstate-Calla-
han, an Idaho zinc producer, saw its
shares slump TO so cents few years
ago In the year preceding the out
break of the war operations showed
a deficit. Since April, 1915, $4,000
600 have been paid out in dividends
and the shares climbed to $27. The
New Jersey Zine Company in IS
months declared dividends in excess
OF $15,OOO,00O and the Caledonia
produced similar results.--From

Mankato Merchants Express
Selves On Stephens Bill
From fridays oallv.

From, fridays oallv.
Mankato retail merchants are decid-
edly not in favor of the bill intro
duced into the House of Representa-
itiyes BY Dan V. Stephens of Nebraska
to regulate prices and make it COM
pulsory on the part of merchants to
charge prices fixed by manufactur-
ers. In interviews with Free Press
reporter upon the subject this morn
; ing the following opinions were ex-
pressed:
F. w. Kruse: Il think it would be
an outrage on merchants to pass such
bill, and would result in bigger
trusts than ever. In this free coun-
try merchants can sell their goods as
they choose, and if they wish to sell
them at loss that is their own bus
mess. / don't believe in any such die
tation by manufacturers, and in my
opinion such law will never pass I"
&s.m#
!. B. Richards: IL don't see why
| the retail man should be interfered
with in this manner. The merchants
will continue to set their own prices,
| | believe. They cannot all have the
same scale of prices as one merchants
] expenses may be much higher than
another's, and he will charge for his
goods accordingly. 1t is very unrea-
sonable for any legislature to pass 9
T, law debating to merchants. He pays
for his goods and he will continue to
set his own price. | think it is a very
| foolish bill to try to pass"
1855
Herman Szamet: Il consider such
a bill very bad measure. 1t might
do on patent merchandise, but on the
retail merchant it would be worse than
a monopoly, and the people would suf-
| fer most of all. 1t would be worse
than a trust. In certain lines of mems
goods prices are now set by the man
/ ufacturers but they cannot be arbi-
trary. We retail merchants must
handle our goods the way we please
and if at times we want to sell, even
at loss, to close out stock, we could
not be bothered with such restric-
tions."
A circular from those in favor of
| the measure says that they have only
nine more votes to obtain to pass the
| bill in the house, and it behooves
/ those opposed to such legislation to
bring influence to bear upon the SEN
ators and representative in congress
1t is stated by those opposed to the
bill that only the manufacturers will
benefit by the proposed law, and ii
will operate to the disadvantage of the
buying public as well as the mer-
chant, and retain the privilege of hav-
ling bargain sales. Those opposed to
the measure should write to Sena-
tors Knute Nielsen, Moses E. Clapl
and Congressman G. R. Davis.

When a county votes the saloons
out of its territory, no locality,
either city or village, has a right
to license saloons, even if that
city or village has a home rule
charter. So the state supreme
court decided today in the case
of Koochiching county. Interna-

issue saloon licenses under it's
charter, Notwithstanding the
fact that the county had gone dry.
The state supreme court today
