A release from the u. S. Steel Cor
poration describes the new steel mill
formally opened December Is by the
Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation,
the largest subsidiary of U. S. Steel
There are 521s acres under one roof;
there will be no smoke, for except
two boilers in the power house, the
whole plant is run by gas and cleo
tricity. The worlds largest slabbing
mill' is part of this plant, and OF
this, the release says, in part:
"The unit, built as an addition to
Edgar Thomson Works at Braddock
Pa, is 44-inch mill capable of roll
ing 100000 tons of slabs annually
These huge slabs, weighing up to
5000 pounds, will be transported
612 miles to the new steel finishing
plant-Irvin Works, known as 'the
Mill on the HILL" There they will be
converted into tinplate, sheet steel and
strip for tomorroW'S cans, containers
automobiles, refrigerators, freight cars
and countless other products"
Every normal person likes to read
of such mechanical advances. They
are marvellous and splendid. But
every normal person, too, must won
der why mechanical progress is SC
slowly-when at all-tranSlated into
the kind of progress that will give
better and most secure living condi-
tons to the one-third of the nations

going ahead with such giant strides
is distribution tagging so far behind
that 100000 persons are out Of

ALiving Memorial

The incoming State Legislature may
be asked to establish a small recrea-
tional park at Kingston in Meeker
county as a memorial to the late
Senator Magnus Johnson.
Commenting on that, Chas. B.

neapolis Journal, says that ''the pur-
pose is worthy, for Magnus Johnson

Can't Tell The Truth!

Our ire was recently aroused when
an editor in one of the newspapers
which comes to our desk, made the
statement that newspaper editor
can not always tell the truth and get
by with it. His remarks were di-
rected at an example of wedding
writeup. He said that one who does
try to tell the truth doesn't last long.
He said that one can tell the truth
anywhere else but in the newspaper.
Isn't that fine statement for any
one to make? Whether he be news
paper editor or the average layman
on the street, the truth should be a
constant guidance to his actions and
thoughts. In a wedding writeup
such as the editor pointed out, if
we could not tell the truth, very lit
tie should be said about it.
We do not lean toward much flat
terry, but endeavor at all times to
place credit where credit is due,

played very well.
The situation in the Twin Cities
is unique Whereas major league
teams have been gobbling up all the
minor league holdings in sight,
spreading the clutch of chain store
baseball to all sections of the coun-
try, the Twin Cities have braced their
heels and said, mot for u.s."
AS a result Class AA baseball in
Minnesota, where two strong teams
will play, is strictly home indus
try.
ST. Paul, under Walter Seeger, Lou
McKenna and Babe Camel, will op-
crate independently of any major
league domination, buying and SELL
ing talent on the open market.
Minneapolis, under Mike. Kelley
and Tom Sheehan, will do the same.
This is good news to all baseball fans
in Minnesota, because it means the
two big teams will be intensely in
terested in the smaller teams through
out the state.
Unable-better say unwilling-to
depend upon major league connec-
lions for their players, the Saints and
Millers will have their own scouts out.
They will be encouraging youngsters
in the Northern league and in all the
lesser leagues throughout the state.
This encouragement will take the
form of financial help in some cases.
Thus Twin City observation-disclosures
on a professional basis-will take
about the same course set by Uni
versity football. AS much as possible
it will depend upon the development
of local talent and any youngster in
Minnesota who believes he has the
markings of a professional baseball
player will have every opportunity to
prove it.
Moreover, he will be helped. There
will be schools for him to attend in
the Twin Cities, where expert coach
ing will hasten his development.
The best of the youngsters will be
taken to Florida to school Mike
Kelley is planning. This school will
not be restricted to youngsters who
seem to be about ready for American
Association baseball. 1t will, in adj
dition, take many kids who are three
or four years away from fast COM
pany, but show enough promise to
justify further training.
Jobs will be found for them in
smaller leagues and they will be
gradually brought along.
Speaking of the almost exclusive
Minnesota character of Minnesota
football team, I'm reminded that new
players are carrying along the same
| tradition.
Out of more than so kids on the
1888 freshmen team who were singled
out as worthwhile prospects, only five
were from outside the state, and none
of those five were on the first or
second elevens.
And so, next year too, Minnesota's
football will be played by Mime
sofas boys-and that is as it should
be.
