No part of the state has suffered more from the in- justic than the Duluth district. It is worth everything to Duluth to have these allies in the thirty north- ern counties devoted to the same cause on which Duluth’s efforts are bent. They will discuss measures for the development of this agricultural country. No part of this common: wealth has a greater'stake in agri- cultural development ‘than Duluth. In the last three years the Com- mercial club has put forth its best efforts, with hearty approval of " the entire community, for the settlement of this country. The seed sown is coming to fruit now. The Crookston meeting offers the very best op- portunity, one that we might seek in vain for years, for follow-up work. We can clinch it if Duluth is there in force. They will discuss the means of| making swamp lands, railroad lands and cut-over lands available for settlement. Do not we all know the handicap that lies on this country by reason of the great tracts held out of wuse or left neglected and useless? At 'Crookston is the place to drive the facts home before an audience sharing our views and intent on'the same ends' that we cherish. At Crookston, Duluth can accomplish in ‘three days the work of years.—Duluth News Tribune, CANNON’S EXTRAVAGANT ENGLISH. Cannon is hopelessly old to be made over. His New York talk about hanging and shooting insur- gents is (let us hope) mere extravag- ance of language. But it is foolish and does harm. It only does him barm, but the old hickory rail is tough and probably not sensitive. The public used to enjoy his gruff ways but in a family fight horse play fails to tickle. Can- non’s methods are not designed to attract recruits to a cause. But you can’t make a man over—especi- ally when he has battered his way up to the 80’s. CANADA AND UNITED STATES. Canada’s rapid growth gives events and statistics a lively interest to us. The value of all crops in the Dominion for 1909, according to official final estimates was $532,992,- 100, an ‘increase as compared with 1908 of $100,458,100, , In grocery sipplies Canada imported $11 000 or-over one half. But Canadadoes not patronize United States fire insurance com- panies extensively. The face value of fire risks at the close of the the British conpanies carried’ about 57 per cent, Canadian 23% per cent, and American 17 per cent.

ADRINISTRATION HOPEFUL Feels Satisfied 'That ~Amendment Carrying Out Original Idea Will"Be Inserted in’' Sundry Civil- Bill by Upper House—Standpatters Who Opposed Provision 'in' House Resént Criticism of Thelr Course. Washington, May 26.—Advocates of a real live tariff board that 'shall have authority to make inquirles into the cost of production i this and. foreign countries believe that the provision Inserted In the sundry civil bill will be broadened in scope by the senate. While Representative James A. Tawney, acting ‘in’ behalf of the ad: ministration, failed in his effort to secure the adoption of the provision speécifically authorizing cost inquiries the administration is satisfied that an amendment “ will be ‘adopted in the senate that will carry out the original purpose to create a tariff board that will have authority in law to carry out ‘the comprehensive investigations into the tariff contemplated by the administration The house standpatters who opposed the tariff board provision are very re- sentful over the criticisms of their course. They are bitter over the charges of insurgency that have been hurled at them.

Forty years ago the fight was begun with that end in view, he 'said, and it was as much a fight against extortion a8 against discrimination, but ‘in the former respect there had been an ut- ter failure.
