BETRAYING THEIR STATE.
F Minneapolis business men wonder

Minneapolis business wonder why
| there is so much more hostility towards their
city than there is towards St. Paul among the
people of the state as a whole, striking illus
tration of the cause may be found in the action
taken last week by fifteen Minneapolis men in
seeking to betray their state in the Chicago di-
version matter for dirty mess of pottage they
hops to receive from Chicago.
According to press reports these men-dele-
gates to the National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress-adopted resolution assuring Chicago
that the city government and the business men
of Minneapolis "are not opposed to Chicago d.
verting water from Lake Michigan to the Chi
cago river"
A more fragrant betrayal of the interests of
their state and also their city cannot easily be
imagined. Minnesotas participation in the long
fight against Chicagos water steal-a vicious,
constituencies act-was authorized under res
olution adopted unanimously by the Minnesota
legislature. The action was taken by the legis-
lature to protect the interests of the entire North
west because the lowering of the lake levels
through Chicago's diversion is causing an i'm
mense loss to lake shipping
Since the suit started certain business
interests in Minneapolis have become very ac-
tive in promoting barge service the MISSISSIPPI
pi river and it is in the hope of securing the sup
port of Chicago in getting the service they want
that these men, to advance their selfish interests,
have turned traitors to their state.
The action of the Minneapolis delegation
will not, of course, in any way influence further
action the part of Minnesota. This was made
plain in statement issued by Attorney General
Clifford L. Hilton following the report of the &C
ton taken by the Minneapolis men. After in
viting attention to the action taken by the Min
nesota legislature instructing the attorney gen.
eral to "get into the fight against diversion"
Mr.. Hilton said
"The is now pending before the supreme
court of the United States. Of course these Min
neapols men have right to express their opin-
ion, but that expression will not affect the case
in any way
This, of course, is true, but it does not in
any way mitigate against the offense these Min
neapolis men have committed. While they have
the right to express their opinion, they have no
right to attempt to barter the interests of the
people of Minnesota in order to advance their per-
sonal interests
The people of st. Paul are no less interest
ed in river navigation than are the people of
Minneapolis, but with the possible exception of
one or two inconsequentia individuals, they have
always played fair with the interests of the
state and the Northwest.
The in point against the Minneapolis
clique is but one of many similar cases that have
cropped out, all showing a selfishness and
public damned" spirit which cannot but re-
fleet discredit upon Minneapolis and arouse hos
tity throughout the state.-A. o. Moreaux in the
Luverne Herald.

MILLIONS FOR THE WASTE BASKET.

~ NE of the most astounding wastes of
money that has come to public attention
in long time was revealed by the postal
6SS,567 advertising circulars had gone to the
dead letter office last year.
Estimated at cents each to cover the cost
of postage material, printing and labor, that
amounted to $633,42S.
And these figures include only advertisers
who mailed their circulars under first-cass post
age. very much larger amount the depart
ment reports, lost by advertisers who used
third-class postage, because unbelievable mail
of that class does not even reach the dead let
ter office but is thrown away by the local post
masters.
The total loss is probably several million dol
lars literally thrown away by concerns who were
attempting to send publicity to prospects.
Two reasons are assigned by the department
for at least 95 per cent of that enormous mass of
mail being lost: First, incorrect addresses, due
to the use of obsolete mailing lists and second,
the use of envelopes without return cards.
The conclusion is clear that mail advertis-
ing is wasteful and inefficient, large part of it
being carried without knowledge of who it
will reach or whether it will reach anybody.
Compare that expensive hit-or-miss method
with newspaper advertising. The newspaper ad-
vertiser knows how many people his message
will reach, what their buying power is, and gen.
orally what results the advertisement will have.
There is no waste in newspaper advertising.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.

~ YER two thousand years have passed their
sands through the hourglass of time since
the heavens rang above the wondering
shepherds with the anthem:
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
Peace, goodwill toward men,
AS we approach the memory of that
hour, the same anthem will fill the heavens and
be heard by believing ears, in the gladdened
hearts of children, and yelling up from the love-
opened hearts of the givers. This is chidhood's
hour, but its sweetness and appeal need not be
lost to those Of advancing years. if they pass the
portals of childhood's temple with gifts.
Some must meet the hour with a saddened
memory for the loved ones who have taken the
trail over the mountains into the land beyond;
but through the mist of tears, there CLEANS the
verdant valley of hope, and in giving love to
others, the mists will melt away and only glory
remain
Christ came to drive out fear, destroy
row. annihilate distress, and abolish tears. In
expressing Christ Christmas day, these all
melt away and only the sunshine of great happi-
ness remains. Then, let sing again the carols
become young in heart, giving forth praise, and
scattering the roses of Chrsts love, swell the
anthem of the angels, Fastening the day when
the spirit of Christ shall be the spirit of all life
Let our lives and deeds give forth this truth
"For unto you is born this day, in the city of
David Savior, which is Christ the Lord"
