Washington, March 6.-The inaugu-

was patriotic demonstration.
As the marching host Of some 3d.

White House the martial music and
unmistakable note of national patriot
ism recalled to many the days of more
than nifty years ago when the federal
armies marched in review over the

who have fought the nations wars
and men who will be called to fight
them in the future-all were repre-

past, present and prospective, of mill
tary service and many thousands of
citizens were represented in the line.

BERLIN Bel PAPERS I NOT
PROUD OF CONSPIRACY


Berlin, March 6.-Berlin, newspapers
which were permitted finally to refer
to the proposed German-Mexican alli-
ance revelations do not seem partic.
ularly proud over the matter. The ma
jority confine themselves to printing
the German official statement under
more or less noncommittal headlines.
The Tages Zeitung prints it under a
question mark, while the Vossische
zZeitung and the Morgen, Post refer to
the conditional nature of the measure.
Only the Berliner Tageblatt and the
Lokal Anzeiger venture to comment
on it. The Anzeiger pictures the
measure as patriotic and proper
step of the government and lays stress
rather on the American than on the
German end of the story, which it
treats as maneuver by President
Wilson to force the armament meas
ure through congress.
The Tageblatt, after brief state
ment about the conditions in Mexico,
emphasizes the point in the German
declaration that the proposal was not
submitted to the Mexican government.

CAR FIGURES SURPRISING.

In REPUTATION of the charge that the
car shortage which is so seriously affect
ing all business, is due to failure Of the
railways to keep their car supply up to
the Country's growth, the American
Railway Association has come forward
with some figures. On July 1, 1907, it's
statement says, the, railways owned
1891, 557 freight cars. BY July l, 1916,
the number had risen to 2,518,855, an
increase Of 527,29S, or nearly 81 per
cent in nine years.
The railways first began to keep a
regular check on car shortages and sur
plusages January 2, 1907. The astonish-
ing statement is made, fortified by
actual figures, that for the eight years
that followed, up to the development
of the present condition which began in
August last, there was an almost con-
tinuous surplus of idle cars in the coun-
try. At no time in the year 1908 were
there less than a hundred thousand
freight cars standing idle on sidetracks
throughout the country, and at one
time in that year the surplus reached
413,000. There were exceptions to this
rule in one month in 1909, three months
in 1912, one month in 1913 and in March,
1916. >, . ~ 30
The report does not speak of the fact
that the regular complications began
at the breakup Of the most serious car
shortage known to that time, that OF
1906-1907, when the grain and livestock,
shippers of the Northwest were seriously
affected. But it does show remarkable
maintenance of sufficient rolling stock
capacity for the country's needs since
then, with the exceptions noted. =.

that an abundance of cars will not in it.
self do the; business, whenever, through
ineficiency or lack! of facilities in hand
ling due. to uncomfortable causes, the
traffic movement congests or stagnates.
While there must be continual addi-
tions to the number of cars as the volume
of general business increases, it is also
plain that a faster movement and more
frequent use of the tonnage units are
remedial measures of great Importance

AN INVENTORY OF THE PUBLIC
- DOMAIN

lpeaking of the plan of the All-Minne-
sofa Development association for a COM
prehensive organization for state wide
drainage, reclamation and conservation,
the Minneapolis Journal says that such
a plan should first involve finding out
what prOp-ertirs the state has to drain,
reclaim and conserve
This is no true that it ought to 60 with
out saying but so completely neglected
that it cannot be said too often.
The total acreage of Minneasot'a
lands says the Journal, "is excatly
known but not which are swamp lands,
which are agricultural lands and which
are foredt lands There has never been
an official survey. Under the present
ORDER no parcel of state land is assigned
| to one OF these cklasses until is sOld.
That's all ture; and it is shame to
the intelligence of the state that it is true.
The state owns millions of acres Of
land. Some of it is tmibered; some of
| it is cut over and needs clearing; some of
| it is submerged and needs draining;
some of it is useless for agriculture and
should be planted to forest; most of it
needs good roads. But as to which
lgand is which the state has hardly the
remotest idea. The o lily survey that
| has been made is tlat of the state
auditors department, the chief purpose
OF which is to estimate the salaDle tim
Der on state lands.
It would cost little to make tho
rough inventory of the states holdings;
but when it was made the state would
/ know whar it has and could on the basis
of that knowledge arrange an intelligent
sustem of land Sales It would know
the character of the soil of each tract.
1t would know what each particular
tract was fitted for-timber, dairying,
sheep -raisingm general agriculture, etc.
When a man who wanted to buy land for
dairy farm came along, it would know
just where to send him.
| Given knowledge of the exact condi-
ton OF the states acres, it would be pos
slble to map out comprehensive and
economical and effective system of recla-
nation, Improvement and settlement
In the dark of the present almost total
lack of knowledge of these things which
would be the first things an intelligent
private owner would find out, effort is
more or less aimless and therefore I'M
economical and Ineffective.
The state has a rich possession in its
public domain rich not only because of
the money it can get by the sale of it, but
richer still because of thespopnlation it
I will accommodate and The wealth it will
produce. Surely it ought to use at least
elementary business intelligence in hand
ling it; and n inventory is the IA-B-C Of
sound business. Duluth Herald.

HOW WE WILL APPEAR
THOUSAND YEARS HENCE

For millions of years men have toiled,
loved and fought on this planet, yet it is
for only about 1000 years that we have
anything like a consecutive record Of
what has been going on and the tale
fades out into thin conjecture beyond
that. -''.'.. '-.> 80 - .''
It is now proposed to erect in Central
park, New York, a $1,000,000 maui
soleum, constructed with a view to en-
during the erosion of the centuries, in
which will be stored cinema films de-
signed to inform future generations Of
how we live. This age will leave not
only comprehensive literary remains,
with the vivid illustrations of the ordi-
nary camera, but will register itself in
shadows of reality so accurate that eyes
which will open 1000 years hence should
with any kind of luck, see us as we are.
Imagine Caesar smiling into the lens;
Cleopatra leaving her barge with self
conscious slaves trying to act natural
ly; Alexander reviewing his armies on
the screen; Columbus in the court of
Isabella, with a close up of the explorer
kissing the royal finger tips!
No digging up of buried cities for
future generations of historians. We
shall all be very, very dead then, yet it
must afford the president, traffic police
men, soldiers and sailors and other fix
lures of the film news thrill of sat-
isfaction to think that they may walk,
bigger than life, before the vision of races
not yet evolved and that the youths of
unborn time will behold and sigh, "Ah,
those were the days!"

ANOTHER NEW ULM DEFENDER Z
HAS PASSED TO HIS REWARD

John Hayemann, one of the New Ulm
defenders in the Indian battles here in
August, 1882, died last week at Sleepy
Eye, aged 81 years. The Herald Dis
patch gives the following regarding Mr..
Hagemann and his life:'
"John Hagemann, one of Sleepy
Eyes Oldest citizens, pioneer of Brown
County and a veteran Indian fighter of
CORY days of 1882, when the redskins
rampaged this country, passed away
Wednesday evening of this week at the
home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Ernest
Honl in this city. A life filed with
eighty-seven years of hard work, thrills
and sorrows, bent weeks ago to the
coming of the Reaper, and at last when
the death knell sounded, departed this
life. forever. :.as.a...:
"Fifty-fve years ago in the month
of July, like nest of rattlesnakes in
their mountain habitats, the Sioux
Indians of the northwest arose in arms
TO murder every white man, woman and
child west of the Mississippi river to
:avenge the loss of their territory. Mr..
Hagemann, his wife and two sons were
Ehen living on farm along the Cotton
wood river between here and New Ulm,
and upon learning of murderous Williams
that were intent on massacreing every
white settler, got his family together and
walked to New Ulm where the whole
western countryside was seeking refuge.
The perilous days of battle near New
Ulm have oft been told. More brilliantly
by historians than we would dare attempt,
but the old settler that has just sought
his last refuge in the Great Beyond,
could tell this epoch of Minnesota, as
few men now living can tell it. He
never returned: to his home on the banks
of the Cottonwood. It had been fired by
the maddened redskins and reduced to
ashes. Together with number of other
families, the Hagemann family removed
ito Minneapolis after the siege at New
Ulm.. They lived there few years, then
returned to Sleepy Eye, where they
resided until death.
X ''The deceased was born and raised
N Meckelburg, Germany, and emigrated
to America, settling in Brown county
at the age OF twenty-six years. The
following year he was married; his wife
died seven years ago. Two sons were
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Hagemann, Adolph
and August. The latter was killed
several years ago in railroad accident
at Butte, Montana, where he was yard
master Adolph died in Sleepy Eye two
years ago. The deceased had been
diving with his granddaughter, Mrs.
Erest Honl the past two and a half years.
He is survived by three other grand
children Mrs. John Roger and Mrs.
Eugene Cady, both of Sleepy Eye, and
George Hagenann of Butte, Mont"

packed the plaza at the east front Of
the Capitol.
{ Vice President Marshall had been
inaugurated in the senate chamber a

on the international crisis, declared
there should now be no turning back
from the tragical events of the last
thirty months which have brought on
Americans new responsibility as

Eve may even be drawn on, by
circumstances, not by our own pur-
pose or desire, to more active as
sertion of our rights as we see them
and a more immediate association

The president declared anew that
America must stand for peace, sta
bility of free peoples, national equal
ity in matters of right, that the seas
must be free to all and that the fam
lily of nations shall not support any
governments not derived from the
consent of the governed.
Sounding solemn warning to the
nation against any faction or in
trigue to break the harmony or en-
barrass the spirit of the American
people, the president called for an
America united in feeling, in purpose
and in its vision of duty, Of oppor-

At the conclusion of his address
the president led the inaugural pro-
cession back to the White House,
where it passed in review before him.
