2 . What does it mean and what does it An Exeuse, Not a Reason. Lumberman should not be surprised ‘that the people demand free lumber so long as they advance only such arguments as they have for the reten- tion of the duty. Their own state- ments are sufficient evidence that there is no basis in the conditions of the business to warrant a tarriff upoo the product. Their contention is well summed up by a prominent member of a large lumber concern who recently said: “It certainly will not help the con- sumers if they get free lumber from Canada, for the Canadians will simply raise their prices, and our laboring men in the lumber line in this state will have to meet the conditions of the cheap labor of Canada.” This is the substance of every argu- ment made on that side, and the final statement of all of them, delivered as the one convincing and sweeping ex- position of the folly of free lumber. plainly say? Nothing more than with free lum- ber the price to the consumer will remain just what itis now. That the Canadians will not cut rrices to gainthis market. Then they will come here on aneven keel with our own dealers, so far as price is con- cerned, andno lumberman on this side will have to cut his selling price a farthing. How then is he hurt? But with this is the companion threat that, though ourlumber manu- facturers will get exactly the same price as now from dealers and con- sumers, they propose to reduce the wages of their laborers. They intend then to increase their profits and widen the space between the cost of production and price to the consumer. They will do this be- cause they say labor is cheaper in Canada, but because of any competi- tion in the matket or any need to cut prices, This is an excuse, not a reason, and it isan excuse based upona false premise. Labor is not any cheaper in Canada than on this side the line. The investigation as to pulp and pulp paper showed this, and statistics as to the lumber industry confirms it. More than this, common sense affirms it, since labor can move as freely be- tween Canada and here as betweeu ‘In fact, it what these men say were true, they would welcome free lum- ber. Inthe past fifteen years this country has seen many failures in business. It has seen these in every line of manufacture but one—lumber. Moreover, no other line of manufac- ture has made so many men million- aires. Minnesota has them by the dozen. Men who, starting less than twenty years ago, some ten years ago, with nothing ora moderate capital, now reckon their wealth by millions. Only mining has equalled it in the number of multi-millionaries, but mining can show a dozenor a hundred failures for each success. Not so lumber. Yet these enormously wealthy men can advance no better argument now against the chance of at least a measure of relief from their monop- oly of this necessity than that free lumber will not lower the price.to the consumer, but that they will take advantage of it to lower wages. Still they wonder that the people speak of certain classes of wealth as predatory, and have agrowing feeling of antagonism to all wealth.—Duluth News Tribune. The New Liquor Law. The new liquor law passed by the legislature provides that hereafter the granting of licenses shall be one for each 500 population or-fraction there- of, providing that communities having more than that number at present may he allowed to continue the existing ones, but no new ones, subject to the discretion of the local authorities. Should a town vote out license for one year and then vote license again, only one for each sou may be issued. Under existing laws it is up to the council to make the license fee what they please. Will Profit Thereby. According to the St. Paul papers, a bunch of bankers in Beltrami, Itasca and Koochiching counties stand to win a/nice sum of money by the pas- sage of the bill by the late session of the legislature which permits Bel- trami county to bond in the sum of $200,000 for the purpose of taking up its floating indebtedness: The coun- ty-is four years behind in the payment of its warrants, and as they have beev the states. discounted as high as fifty per cent,!

Asks for a New Trial. County Attorney Kane has returned home aftera trip to Grand Rapids and St. Paul. At the former place he represented the state at the hearing ofa motion made before Judge Wright Attorney Price for Tom Maher, the latter having been convicted at our last term of court on a charge of arson and sentenced to the reformatory. Maher was released on bonds, a stay of sentence haying been granted for sixty days in order to allow time to perfect a motion fora new trial. The hearing of last week was for an ex- tension of time in which to prepare the motion and was granted.—Ionter Falls Echo. Will Ship Ore. Work in the Canisteo district will retain its activity. At the present time the full equipment is employed. Possibly by June some shipping may be done from the Canisteo, while ship- ping from the Holman will begin earlier, says the Bovey Iron News. As no %new equipment will be added the addition to the number of men to be employed will be very slight. The steam shovels in the Canisteo are down to ore, but the upper surface of this is a cretacious formation and will be stocked at the location propared lying between Bovey and Coleraine. This formation will have to he removed be- fore any shipping will begin from this mine. Clergyman was Sarcastic. This is the unkind way in which an eastern clergyman passes his compli- ments on the new Easter hats and the fashion of retaining them on the heads during church services: “The present bonnet or hat is ab- normally immense, and the discom- fiture of worshippers whose vision is impeded is correspondingly great. What to do with the woman has been a problem in churches throughout the ceutrnies. “In all theatrical and operatic cir- cles it is counted bad form for a wo- man to sit with her hat on. It does THE POPULAR STORE WE ARE ALWAYS PLEASED TO SHOW COODS | Grand Rapids, Minnesota it is pla n to be seen that the holders | not re ‘aot require the gift of prophesy to sa: that the time will come when Chris, tian women in the church will be equally considerate.” The Assessor is Around. Assessor P. C, Warner, for the town- ship of Grand Rapids, started out early Monday morning on his official duties. To those business and other men who were too much engaged to list their taxable possessions he left the usual blanks with the information that he would call for them in ten days, when he would expect to find them properly filled out and attested. He left a blank at the Herald—Review office, one prepared in the state audi- tor’s office, presumably, and if it could be any more unsatisfactory in form we are unable to “cast it up” in our typo- gtaphical mind, It has the appearance of a document calculated to assess everybody in the same line of business the same amount, regardless of what each individual owns. But we'll do our best wth the thing and let it go at that, The assessor 1s not to blame, so there’s no use growling at him. The Torrens System. Many people would like to know what the Torrens system of registry is and how it differs from the old sys- tem, and the Query editor of the Pio- neer-Press says: Under the Torrens system no expensive abstract of title is required, nor any searching of records. The title to a piece of prop- erty, once registered, is guaranteed by tbe state. [t can be passed by a simple notation on the register. The system greatly simplifies and cheap- eus the transfer of real estate, while reducing the chances of fraud. Riley Discharged. Last Friday John Riley, a camp cook, well knowa allover this sec- tion of Northern Minnesota to woods- men as “‘Scarfased Riley” had a hear- ing before Justic Kearney, on a charge of unlawfully relieving a lumberjack ofadraft for fifty dollars, and was discharged. The evidence was not sufficient to justifying holding him. The alleged offense was committed in Deer River. Riley’s previous good character and the circumstances surrour.ding the case were such as to result in his release from custody.
