JOHN CAMPBELL
DIES SUDDENLY
Word of His Death at Navy Hos
pital Comes as Shock to
Local Relatives.

Word of his death in Ports
mouth, n. H, last night Of John
A. Campbell. 1912 Twenty-eighth
street, today came as a sudden
shock to his brothers and sisters
in this city.
Completing his 18th year in the
navy, he was home on furlough
only a month ago, and the family
had a letter from him a week ago.
He appeared in the best of health
while here and in his letter spoke
of no Illness. News of his death,
received in a telegram from naval
authorities at Portsmouth, where
there is a training station and hos
pital, contain only meager 1nfor-
nation and the cause of his demise
was not stated. Relatives wired
today for further particulars re-
garding the cause of death and in
formation relative to shipping the
remains to this city for burial.
Mr.. Campbell was son of Mrs.
Katherine Campbell, who passed
away in January. He was 46 years
old, born in Rock Island Aug. Ia,
1872. He enlisted in the navy in
1907 and was among those who
went around the world with the
United States feet. He was a
molder by trade and served in that
capacity on the flagship Pitts
burgh. He was scheduled to have
gone with the feet to Russia in
the course of a short time.
He was a member of the Rock
Island aerie of Eagles, the Cath
olic Order of Foresters and of tbs
local molders' union. Surviving hs
leaves three brothers, Thomas,
James and Joseph, and two sisters.
Miss Anna and Mrs. Carl Kurth,

TWO HORRIBLE EXAMPLES

The United States senate furnishes to the country
two horrible examples Of how things ought not to be
done. These are furnished in the persons Of Senator
Sherman, Republican,, Of illinois. and Senator Reed,
Democrat. OF Louisiana. MT. Sherman came first to bat
IN the present session Of congress, but Mr.. Reed will be
heard from presently, and the country in the past has
Heard enough from both of them to form a pretty clear
estimate CT their character and the style OF their men,
tally.
It goes without saying that the acts OF any public
oflcia. are legitimate subject Of criticism by any citizen
OF the republic. and the duties imposed upon members
OF either branch OF congress are such as to require from
them exceptionally careful consideration of the public
policies discussed by then. and frequently of the acts and
suggestions OF the executive. It is also = fact usually
admitted without question that the discussion Of public
questions ought to proceed without the unnecessary
dragging in Of personalities. Aside from the question Of
good taste involved meaningless personal vitupefation
always weakcns an argument, and il the ordinary de-
ccncics require at least the semblance of courtesy to be
maintained in discussion among private individuals, this
obligation is all the more binding upon men who have
reached the dignity Of high official positions, and espe-
cially when they are discussing the policies and acts Of
the Official head of the nation.
All of these things are utterly foreign to the habits
and character of Sherman and Reed. These two men
can conceive apparently of but one method of conduct
ing a debate, namely that of abusing the opposing party.
Considerations of taste and decency have no weight with
them. Having thrown such dignity as they ever pos
sessed to the four winds, it can not be expected that they
should retain any respect for the dignity of the nation
or the positions which they occupy in its councils. 1t
is fortunate that there are men of a different type in
congress. If it were not SO. all of our congressional de-
bates would be conducted on the level which is said to
have characterized the Biringsgate fish market.

CONFESSION.

received Pauline's telegram. For a
few moments he studied it, and then
going to a hotel oflce, he possessed
himself Of a telegram blank which
he proceeded to write on, by the use
Of a typewriter nearby.
With a preoccupied look on his
face. as If thinking deeply, he called

rections that the Arab presented him.

. MINNEAPOLIS RACTION PROJECT

The city of Minneapolis has been trying to get to-
sether with the local street railway company on a basis
Of adjustment of street railway service and compensa-
ton. There has been the usual demand that the city
acquire the street railway properties and conduct them
itself. The experiences of other cities with public own
ership Of street railways and the general experience of
character to create a very strong sentiment in Mime
upols in favor Of this departure. The negotiations thus
far have been on the basis of the fixing Of street rail-
way valuation, and of a basis Of profit upon that valua-
ton.
Minneapolis Street Railway company has Just pre-
scented to the city authorities it's estimate of the value
OF the property, which is a trifle over $23, 100000. 1t
agrees to accept that as the true value and to have its
net earnings limited to Z per cent of this sum. 1nasnuch
other measure of profit it seems that the fixing of Z per
cent as the maximum is very reasonable. There is ap-
parently little difference between the valuation made
by the street railway people and that made by the city
itself. The city official valuation is about $500, 900 lower
than that of the company, a difference which in view OF
the great value of the property is almost negligible. Sur
prise has been expressed in a good many quarters that
the company's valuation was not higher, as it was ex-
pected to run about $26, o0o, 900. The estimates Of some
Of the city experts ran considerably higher than the fig.
ures of the company.
it ought to be possible for city and company to get to-
gether on a proposition to be submitted to the people
for their approval. The only apparent obstacle in the
way of such an agreement is the unconquerable deter
nination of a few individuals to fight.

THE MATTER OF LOCATION

The ostensible purpose of the law providing for the
entrance by tax by the state into the elevator and -four
ing mill business is that the people Of the state may be
benefited by the possessions Of facilities for handling
and marketing their crops which they have not at pres
ent. That is the ostensible purpose Of the bill, and 1t is
the real purpose of those who have advocated this meas
ure in good faith.
1t is obvious that the success Of the experiment de-
ponds very largely on the location of the plant or plants
Is marketed outside of the state. It will continue to be
so marketed until we have a lot more people or raise a
lot less wheat. Our present population can use but q,
small fraction of our present production of wheat.
The market for the greater part Of our wheat is in the
east. A very large part Of the gain goes to Duluth, to
take advantage of the low freight rates by lake; Most
OF the rest goes to or through Minneapolis. If all the
wheat in the state were to be manufactured into -four
within the state, it would still go to an eastern market.
and the lake route would still be a desirable one for a
large share Of it. @
These are plain facts which cannot be changed by
political activity on the part of anybody. Except for
the small percentage which. we consume ourselves our
wheat goes east, and will continue to so east.
Climate and other natural conditions are such that the
bulk of our wheat is produced in the eastern half Of the
state. That condition is not likely to be changed. Hence
a terminal elevator situated in the interior of the state
cond be used by the producers of most of the states
wheat only by shipping the wheat west and then re-
shipping 1t east. No matter what laws are enacted it
costs money to carry wheat from place to place, and IL
we insist on carrying our wheat unnecessary distances
we, and not the purchasers of the grain, will pay the
price.
II those who have charge of the location Of the states
elevators place them with a view to their servica bility,
thy will place them on the eastern border Of the state.
II political conditions govern. they may place them in
the Band Lands.

DISCUSSING FACE TERMS

IL ~ Aolo "a le herman ENJOYS on the peace terms ana
inc present reply sent by the Peace conference furnish
a clear indication Of What may be expected during such
discussions Of the peace treaty as may be held. The Ger
man note reveals determination Of the part of the Ger
man spokesman to refuse to recognize the only basis
upon which peace can be attained. Count Rantzau in
ms remarks on receiving the copy Of the treaty said that
Germany was under no illusions as to the extent of her
defeat. But 1t Is apparent that in the consideration Of the
terms OF the treaty and in the pleas and arguments made
concerning it, the German delegation is determined to
proceed upon tho sumption that Germany is not q de-
feated nation. and that she has in the consideration of
peace terms the rights Of an equal participant in the
negotiations. This attitude has been indicated in every
noto or suggestion which has como from German sources.
1t has been repudiated in every reply that has been
made and the reputation is complete and effective in
the longer note addressed to the Germans in response to
their recent communication. Y
The allies and associated nations are debating q peace
to Germany. They recognize in Germany the aggressor
and the prime cause Of the war. Most properly they
place upon Germany full responsibility for all that has
occurred during tho war, and most justly they demand
that Germany shall make such PREPARATION as they deem
to be within tho reasonable limits Of her capacity.
There is no attempt to exact an eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth. Moderation has characterized all of
the demands made by the peace conference. For the
thirteen million tons of shipping causelessly and unlaw-
fully destroyed by Germany she is to be required to re-
store only four million tons. For the obstruction Of the
LEM coal fields she is required to yield for a limited time
the use of other coal fields to an extent which will not
begin TO compensate the injured party for the damage
done. The enormous financial loses inflicted on Belgium
are to be repaid only in small part. SO it goes all through
the list. and notice has been served that no side stepping,
no debating of issues by the Germans will cause the con-
ference to devate in slightest degree from it's adherence
to the principles upon which it is operating. Because of
special reasons in certain cases details may be varied,
but with or without such variations the same principles
will be maintained, and the Germans may as we'll make
up their minds now as later that if they are to have peace
at all it will be a peace dictated by their late antagonists
and present victors. "a
