GOVERNOR.ON SUNABATED PHUSPERITY" IN STATE State’s cmut Executive Writes Strong Article for the Commercial Bulletin of St. Paul. Go:vernor John A. Johnson has written ‘ah article’ on ‘‘Unabated Prosperity in Minnesota” for the state fair, edmon of the Commer- cial Bulletin of aneapolla, ‘in which he takes. a’ very ‘opdmrsm view of things : commetcial, trial and political, all of which he thinks are daily being condncted on, a hlzher moral plane. B Hé says: '‘Merchants are’ycon- ducting their business enterprises on hrgher plane of ethics; - lawyets are practicing law with argument instead of prejudice, teachers are pracdcal instead of theoretical, and farmers are combining science with prachcal things in tilling the soil. In fact, cour whole bady po!mc is bemg elevated by that secret force which is becoming more manifest from.year to year. “That old bnsiness theory, ‘Each one for himself, and Satain take the hindmost,” has no place in'the busi- nessiworld of today. Modern meth- ods are based rather on co-operation % JOHN A. JOHNSON. | among the business men of . the community—the working together for common good. Thus prosperity for one means prosperity for all, and all effort isexpended in accomplish- ing one common aim instead of be- ing partially expended in tearing down what another has builded. “The idea of competltors in busi- ness working together harmoniously for a common result would have been scorned as impossible a decade ago, yet today we find business competi- tors doing this very thing and profit- ing very greatly by the aid they have received from each other. The business men of today are guided rather by the golden rule than by the teachings of former business . theor- ies and precepts.” The governor follows in Roose- velt’s steps in concluding his article, snggesting a “‘square deal for all,” in the following language: W £ runs wild betweeg May_ a ‘tember.and Aecks™ together between indus- “The most effective way in wlu;h you tah gountribute to; the {centinu- ance of our present prosperity is to conduct your business on broad and safé principles, ‘and give ‘your cus- | tomer, your competnor, and yQ\|r~ self, a ‘square’deal,’ ” w = Sam Clark‘s ‘‘Baseball Fan.” Editor Sam Clark of the Minot Reporter, speaks with authority when he thus defines a baseball fan: .| “A baseball fan'is an anitial - which is almw ‘human in.. somes respecta Sep- 3 ap(f éo.clqckp m, .

Their--Claims Are Now Getting Good Returns. Duluth Herald: “Men who sold fine timber claimsa few years ago,j at half what could be obtained for: them now, must feel pretty sore when they see the rolls of bills friendé who ‘hung on are now getting for ths same kind of timber,” said W. A3 Poole of Cass Lake, Minn,, at the McKay; "“The increase in the pricé of timber in the last five years has been something remarkable, and if is going up right along.

Taken' Place and Each Vessel Claims the Other. Was Responsible for the Disaster Which Resulted. Baltimore, Aug. 27.—The tug Gerry of Wilmington, Del., was sunk in col- lision with the British steamer Barn- stable during the night in the Patap- 8o river off Sparrows point. Five men are believed to have lost their lives out of twenty-five who were on the tugboat. 8ix of the survivors clambered up the side of the steamer by means of the anchor chain, The remainder were picked up by the steamer’s boat or swam to a dredge moored near ‘by. Confusion of signals seems to have caused the accident, each side claim- ing that the other was at fault. Cap- tain Davidson of the Barnstable said that when the vessels were within about 100 feet of each other the tug suddenly changed its course and at- tempted to cross the steamer’s bows. Before the latter craft could be stopped it struck the tug, sending it to the bottom in a few minutes. The Barnstable was not damaged. On the part of the tugboat it was claimed that her course was changed in com- pliance with a second signal from the Barnstable. - The Gerry was on her way to the dredge Standard, which is engaged in widening and deepening the channel at Seven Foot knoll. ~The Barnstable was bound to this port from Jamaica with passengers and a cargo of fruit.
