d. s. Leads In Sugar Exports

| The United States now leads the
world in sugar exports, is the claim
made by a Chicago trade paper. The
publication gains its figures from the
trade department of the National City
Bank of New York, and they are no
doubt correct.
In the fiscal year of 1916, the second
year OF the war, our exports of refined
sugar were 1,50O,OO0,000 pounds as
compared with 500,O0O,OOO pounds in
the first year of the war, and less than
one-tenth of a billion before the war
began.
This marked change in our status as
a sugar exporter is due wholly to the
fact that those countries which were our
chief competitors prior to 1914 are now
importers, their industries having been
either so greatly demoralized or cut off
from the worlds trade that they are
not producing enough for their own con-
sumption, to say nothing of exporting.
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia,
in the past, have been the chief exporters
Of refined sugar. The exports of Ger
many in 1914, were 3,46 $4,000, 900 pounds;
Austria-Hungary, 1859, 100000 pounds,
and Russia about 100000, 900 pounds.
France, in normal times exports 400, 000,-
900 pounds, but now is buying about
that much from the United States.
Belgium, which normally exports about
350,000,000 pounds is sending none
away now.
With these figures at hand the New
Ulm housewife, as we'll as all others in
the United States, can we'll understand
why they are paying cents or more a
pound for sugar when they were formerly
paying 6 cents or less for that COM
modify.

Minnesota TOGO Democratic

Popularity of the Democratic national
ticket has been growing so rapidly in
the past few weeks that the Republican
leaders surprised their followers last
week by announcing Minnesota as in the
doubtful list with the chances of it's
giving it's electoral vote to Wilson and
Marshall. While the President has been
gaining in strength Hughes and his party
have made an admittedly poor showing
and the few votes they had in the be-
ginning have been fast ebbing away.
Many Of the Democratic leaders go
far enough to believe Hughes will carry
about as many states in the election two
weeks hence as Taft did in 1912, and
they were hardly worth counting.

men with whom this training has been
deferred few years, remaining in civil
life until their bones, heart, lungs, liver,
ETC., were more matured and developed.
Recruits at 49," Sir William declares,
'show physical immaturity which re-
suits only too frequently in their ending
in the hospital or being discharged as
invalids."
While both Germany and England are
declaring against too early military
training the United States government
is furnishing the American school boy
with high power guns, audit is proposed
to encourage this sudden craze for
militarism by authorizing it's organiza-
ton in the schools of the state.
We certainly hope the law makers at
the state capitol next winter will not be
duped into such an outrage and that the
governments death-dealing guns will
be returned with thanks. 49,.

PROGRESS IN MEXICO

The Christian Science Monitor prints
an official statement of things done by
the Constitutionalist government in
Mexico. Agrarian commissions are at
work in various states in accordance with
the comprehensive plan announced two
years ago. Community lands are being
restored to their rightful owners, and
those desiring tracts for cultivation are
fast receiving them. Peonage has been
destroyed by law limiting the debt of
any laborer, and another wiping it out,
whether liquidated or not, after certain
period. The eight-hour day has been
decreed, and laborers in shop or factory
must be paid for overtime. A minimum
wage law has ended the hiring of laborers
for pittance of few centavos daily.
Unions have for the first time been rec
ognized and even encouraged. DEGREES
have been. promulgated governing the
exploitation of mineral, forest, and other
resources to prevent monopolies. Taxa
ton has been equalized, thousands of
new schools have been established, and
amnesty is gradually being granted the
opponents of the Government. Upon
this the New York Evening Post COM
rpents thus: ''The Carranza Govern
ment may in some of these matters be
speaking of things as! though almost ac-
complished which it has merely set afoot
and which will be difficult to push through
but, allowing for this, the statement
holds out the hope of new and better
Mexico" At the least, is not the pro-
gramme better than the war into which
some people want to drive us and Mexi-
CO? But perhaps the war is wanted to
stop such things!- Reedy's Mirror.

TOWN FARMER CAN'T
RESIST MANkATO SALOONS

AL. Anderson, farmer residing near
Swea City, Iowa, recently visited Man
kato, bringing his young son, and &C
companied by neighbor. Anderson
became lost in the whirling maze of the
city, and his neighbor taking the boy
with him, drove back home, leaving the
''lost" one to his fate. Anderson was
later found in an alley, in the rear of a
saloon, dead drunk. He was taken to
the police station and arraigned in
municipal court, charged with being
intoxicated. He said he only took three
drinks, which statement he modified
later by saying that he could only re-
member taking that many. He was
fined SIS, but he had spent all his money

Drainage Plom Is Popular

Plans for great statewide drain
age enterprise for Minnesota, are at
tracing the attention of business men
all over the state. At gathering of
traffic men in Minneapolis recently, A.
L.. Croker, chairman of the All Mime
sofa Improvement Association, outlined
the plans, and they were applauded by
the 125 members of the MINNEAPOLIS
Traffic Club present. It was also voted
to start comprehensive campaign of
education on the subject. There are
SEQ members of the Minneapolis or
ganization of traffic men, and those
not present at the meeting are to be sent
literature that will enlighten them along
the plans of the development association.
While the drainage scheme is planned
to drain large tracts in Northern Mime
sofa, the Minnesota river valley is also
to come in for it's share, it being the in
tention of the promoters that in the
neighborhood of $2O,0OO,OOO is to be
expended along that stream. The en-
tire project is to cost about 100000, 900
and it is estimated that the money will
be returned to the state MANY times
over. Twenty years will be required
to complete the work.
1t is asserted by Mr.. Croker that
the annual crop and livestock produced
on the land Of Minnesota is worth $780,
100000, and that it can be raised to
S1,700,0 100000 if the waste land is made
available by drainage for agricultural
and stock raising purposes.
DR.. F. w. Sardeson, a federal geolo-
gist who is also interested in the pro-
ject, says that with the exception of the
extreme southeastern and southwestern
corners, there is scarcely a farm in the
state that does not need some sort of
drainage.
Five millions of dollars have so far
been spent in the Minnesota valley in
judicial and county bitches. Under the
plans of the All Minnesota Improvement
Association it is proposed to expend
$20,000,O00 more in this valley in the
next ten years.
The needs of the state relative to better
drainage and the benefits to be derived
thel efrom have been thoroughly investi-
gated by leaders in the present move
ment and that the state is to be greatly
benefited as a whole is the opinion of all
those who have studied the question
, to any extent.
The cost, as has been pointed out be-
fore, will not fall upon the taxpayer
and it is believed there will be but little
if any opposition, especially when the
proposition is fully understood by the
citizens in general.

The Constitutional Amendments

The eight amendments to the State
Constitution to be voted on by the
electors of Minnesota at the coming
election, November 7, are being printed
now in all of the daily and weekly news
papers of the state. There is no reason
why every voter should not fully under
stand the purport of each one, and be
able TO vote .intelligently on all OF them
In the first place every voter who
goes to the polls should cast bis ballot
vone way or the other. Failure to vote
at all is a vote against the amend
1nent. .'>
The amendment causing the most
agitation of the state press is No l.

'of state lands to be sold to settlers

<cent. The sum of $250,00O is to be

property and earn his living there while
paying for it and making such improve
ments as are necessary. He will not
be obliged to 60 to the lumber camp, or
seek other employment to keep hunger
away from his wife and children while
clearing up his farm. The attraction
TO the young farmer who wishes to own
his own farm and secure a home for
himself and family will be greatly en-
.hanced and the settlement of state lands
in the northern part of the state be much
more rapid than as been the case in
1Jhe past.
The settlement of those state lands
Will be a benefit to every resident and
taxpayer in Minnesota 1t will help
the matter along if you vote for amend
ment Number l.
And by the way, it won't hurt any
body if you vote for all of them.

That military training for the public
schools has not died out, as it should,
rs emphasized by news item in another
column of the Review this week. It is
noted that the United States government
as now offering to equip the high school
boys of this state with Krag -Jorgensen
rifles, and "a bill is to be prepared for
presentation to the legislature next
winter authorizing military courses in
our schools.
1t was not SO very long ago that the
whole country was crying out against
Mhat was termed ''Prussian Militarism, !"
and demanding that it be crushed and
made forever imperative. Then, any,
one who did not subscribe to this demand
was declared un-American. DR.. William
"A. Ccker, director of physical education
and school hygiene in the public schools
at Indianapolis. has contributed an able
article to a recent issue Of mind and
Body, monthly journal devoted to
physical education, in which he declares
that the need of the youth of the country
lis not military, but physical education,
in our public schools.
DR.. Ocker says that the same news
papers and class of people who rush
into print without due thought or con-
sideration, are now demanding mill
tarisn" on much larger scale than had
ever been practised or dreamed of by
Germany or any other European coun-
try, only now they call it preparedness"
Under this heading he says, I'VE
are asked to increase the size of our
army, to build more areoplanes, dread
thoughts and submarines, to strengthen
and increase the number of our coast
Notifications, and lastly by far the most
unreasonable, to introduce military train
, ing in our. public schools
There are many kinds of prepared
ness-everybody believes in the right
kind - but they do not believe in
,equipping our school boys to shoot and
kill each other or their neighbors, either
at home or abroad.
1t should be of interest to know that
the efficiency of the German soldier is
not due to the military training obtained
in the public schools, for the reason that
Germany does not permit military
drilling in her public schools.
AS the military branch is but small
part of modern warfare why should
school children be forced to practice
military drilling?
Not only in this country, but in many
foreign nations men of authority ir
military affairs have declared against
the military training of school boys
Sir William Aitkin, professor OF pathol
ogy in the Army Medical School o
England, says in a book which ne ha
recently published, that boys givel
military training at ,1S make soldier
who are less robust and efficient tha-

STATE PRISON REPORT RECEIVED

The nineteenth biennial report of the
Minnesota State Prison has been issued
from the press of the Prison Mirror, the
publication Of the prisoners, printed
inside the prison walls. 1t is book OF
ia pages and contains the report of the
warden, the statistics of the Institute H.
rules governing the inmates and large
number of illustrations of the exterior
and interior of the new state peniten-
tiary. The book presents a very neat
appearance and the information con-
tanned therein would prove of value to
any one who is interested in social
problems.

Newspaper Men Not All Angels

Pollock's Newspaper News, of Mime
apolis, in it's last issue, does little brag-
ging about our noble profession when it
says:
cit is interesting to know that the
newspaper profession is about the only
one not represented in the Minnesota
state penitentiary, and that it has not
been represented there since the opening
of the penitentiary. May this condition
continued
OF course we newspaper fellows are
all right, and a pretty square lot as rule,
but we shouldn't blow our horns too
loudly. The biennial report of Warden
C. S. Reed, who runs that little institu-
ton down at Saltwater, of which all
Minnesotans are so proud If they are
on the outside has just been published.
From it we learn there we're confined
within it's walls on July l, 1916, repre-
sentatives of our kin and allied orders,
as follows: Newspapermen, 1;reporters
8; printers, 3. The report doesn't say
for what crimes they were imprisoned
but they are presumably some city chaps
who were convicted of stealing new;
from country editors.

Lending A Helping Hand

That a careful scrunity should be
placed on prisoners who. are about to
be released, so that mental detectives
may be taken care of, was the contention
of speaker at the convention of the
American Prison Association, in session
at Buffalo, few days ago. The other
delegates agreed with him,
The speaker, who was the superin-
tendent of the Oregon Prisoners Aid
Society said: Eve should take care of
the detectives, and should demand that
the police and police officers give other
released prisoners chance to get along.
They are all too ready now to hound
them back into prison."
Those who have had to do with the
Police departments in the large cities
know too we'll that many man who has
served time in the penitentiary is fairly
driven back into crime by the undue
activity of the police. -
1t is well-known fact that frequently
men who have left the cells with de-
fined purpose to travel the straight and
narrow path in the future have been
practically unable to do so because they
were not let alone by the police.
1t is all too common when an ex-
prisoner has secured a position and is
doing his very best, he has been pestered
by some over-zealous policeman until he
has lost his place, has become discouraged
and then fresh start on the downward
path is quick and his progress rapid.
