WE NEED A HIGH TARIFF.

Robert Bonner, vice president of
the Bonner Steel company, Buffalo,
N. Y, makes a plea for protection
for the American manufacturer of
pig iron in the following letter to
the Iron Trade Review:
''The importation of pig iron,
ern coast, affects to very great ex-
tent the market conditions for the
domestic product in the eastern ter
ritory and causes considerable en-
barrassment to eastern Pennsylvania
furnacen. We in the Buffalo dis
trict also feel it.
at is our hope that the govern
ment will place duty sufficient to
make it impossible Tor foreign iron
to be dumped in this country.
Canada has an anti-dumping law and
this country should have one also.
There is no pig iron produced in
foreign countries that is necessarily
required, as far as we know, by any
one in this country to make any of
their products, and there is only one
reason why foreign iron is being
bought by consumers in the East
and that is because it is cheaper
than domestic iron.
"In the manufacture of pig iron
this country is dependent on no
foreign country and the products
necessary for the manufacture of
pig iron are contained within the
boundaries of the United States. If
any industry should be protected
against foreign competition and the
dumping of iron in this country, the
pig iron industry should be.
There are few blast furnaces in
Canada and yet the Canadian gov
eminent protects them fully against
the importation of pig iron from
the United States. At the present
time they have an anti dumping
law and, in addition, there. is a duty,
1 think it is $3.50 per gross ton,
which gives the Canadian producers
of pig iron a good protection. The
result is that very little iron from
the United States finds it's way in
to Canada. Delivered prices in
Canada on iron produced in Canada
are about the. same, or less, than
the delivered prices on iron shipped
from Buffalo. In other words
Canadian producers take the price
quoted in Buffalo, add the duty, and
inquire their price delivered about
the same or little less, than the
price on iron shipped from Buffalo,
We, in Buffalo, cannot sell iron in
Canada. for less than we would sell
or have sold, iron to consumers in
this country"

So, 100000

Geo. L. Brozich has written sew
eral letters to the Open Court of
the Duluth Herald in which he re-
counts the experiences of the
pioneers in the development move
ment of the state and particularly
the development of the iron indus
try and the tourist possibilities.
Mr.. Brozich tells of the losses sus-
tanned by the pioneers after giving
their all to the causes represented.
He is right and speaks from expert
ence. He was one of the men who
originally predicted the tourist in
dustry for this section of the state
and backed his predictions with his
all While the predictions came
true and the tourists are here, Mr..
Brozich could not carry on finan-
cially and others are reaplng the har-
vest for which he sowed the seeds.
The same thing applies to the iron
industry, the pioneer in the ore
fields are not getting theirs. He
tritely puts the case when he says
"the old saying that the early bird
gets the worm, is often literal truth.
He gets the worm-and that's all he
does get. Later corners get the
gold"

Some of our exchanges of the
F. L. complex seem to think the rea-
son the majority of the Minnesota
papers are against Magnus Johnson
for governor is because he is such
a dampoor wood chopper and cow
mixer. They seem to imagine he
would make fine governor even If
he can't milk cows or chop wood.
We don't know whether or not
Governor Christensen can coax the
tactical substance from the cow or
WELD the axe but do know that he
makes a good governor and for this
very reason he will be reelected
with the largest majority ever given
any Minnesota governor. We also
feel assured that Governor Chris
Hanson having been in the news
paper business for many years, is
fully capable of milking cows, chop
ping wood, hoeing corn or doing
anything else in the agricultural
line. AS a primer he has no equal

G. H. Mattson of the state game
and fish department in speaking to
the Lions Club at st. Paul a few
days ago said that wild life in Min
nesota will disappear within 10 or
% wears unless radical action is
taken for its preservation" As a
first and highly important step to
preserve the game and fish of the
State Mr.. Mattson urged continued
active program of education to in
terest the sportsmen and the PuDhc
generally in the need of and bene-
fits of wild life preservation. People
must learn to restrain their in
dividual desires to take more than
the law allows, he said. The need
of a campaign of elucation, the
speaker said, is apparent from the
fact that less than 10 per cent of
Minnesota's population is at present
at all interested in game and fish
conservation.

laiborne Foster as the figure Of chief
lterest. already has an established
lace on the stage, and it is especially
elcome because it succeeds in arous-
interest without any of the devices
iat in some other productions tend to
.bscure the finer human qualities
Whether the character of Patricia
yalts the talents of Claiborne Foster,
t the personality of the actress exalts
ne role of Patricia, 1t is evident as
bserved at last evenings perform
nee, that here is an attractive young
'erson Of quality, whose every move
arries the attention and interest of
he observer. 1t is also a matter of
atisfaction that the leading member
{ the company has been surrounded
company of players singularly
ell adapted to the roles that con-
ribute to the working out of the
lcidents of the play.
Miss Foster enters with notable
pirit into the unconventional picture
a girl who feels acutely the pleasant
nd unpleasant experiences of life:

+ clever philosophy the family atmos
here of sordid ambition, in which she
as seemed out of place. A self
eeling sister and mother furnish the
ontraSt to her personality, which
ives force TO the plot.
The unusual point TO be noted in
mis- performance is that il skillfully
,mbines both the analysis Of highly
, motional nature and the rapid action
'thich gives the play its popularity
considering the simple character of
ne plot. either of these factors would
all if they were not combined. There
