Much has been said concerning the postal deficit—and its cause. In his annual report the postmaster-general makes the statement that while sec- ond-class mail matter provides a rev- enue of one cent a pound, the cost to the government for its handling and transportation averages 9.23 cents a pound. Yet, for motives of econo- my, the Saturday Evening Post has, during the past year, withdrawn over 250,000 copies of the magazine from the mails and is making shipment and Portland by fast freight, where the magazines are re- distributed to sales-agents in the sur- to Chicago rounding territory by express and the cost is less than one cent a pound. in hauling this class of mail the government is not responsible for its loss or damage. When shipment is made by freight or express the trans- portation companies bind themselves to make good all damages or loss, and yet a magazine or newspaper with a large circulation can ship cheaper by the’ latter method. The franking privilege is respons- ible for much of this growing deficit. Senators and congressmen make set speeches to empty benches and after reciting a portion of them, motion was made to ex- tend in the Congressional Record The senator or congressman then gets busy, exercises his franking privilege, and has copies of this speech struck off by! the government presses. These speeches, in pamphlet form, are then distributed broadcast to admiring constituents in the home district the government bearing the cost of their transportation, and thus the senator or congressman is provided with cam- paign literature, free of charge. Won- der if this deficit Couldn’ be wiped out if some of hese abuses were cor- rected? THE WAY OF A PRESIDENT. A certain federal judge, in private conversation, made the remark that Mr. Taft, if he had been president at the time of the Civil war, would have saved the Constitution and lost the Union. The remark was apt. Forms and procedure loom large dent Taft believes in the conservation policies of the Roosevelt admini- Taft ‘are There can ‘be mo doubt that Presi- stration and that he desired to retain the services of the chief of the bureau of forestry who held that position under Roosevelt. Yet Pinchot has been discharged by order of the pres- ident because a situation was allowed to develop under which the mainten- ance of presidential dignity was made to appear of more consequence than fundamental policies of great concern to all the people, not only of the present day, but of succeeding gener- It-is impossible to think of Lincoln’ meeting such a situation in such a manner One cannot fail to be impressed by a contemplation of what might have happened had a man of the Taft temperament been president in the trying days when the wise hand of Lincoln was steering the course of the republic.—Chicago Daily News. THE DEFEAT OF DISEASE. Some exceedingly interesting facts were brought out at the recent con- ference in Atlanta to consider means of eradicating the hookworm disease. The conferernce itself was of great interest, decause of the way it typified the new at- titude toward disease. Not long ago the bookworm disease was killing thousands, and rendering many thou- sands more incompetent to take up the burdens of life. Yet little atten- judicial experience is seen im many | will benefit. Errors in living are re- SALVATION Will Comduct Services in The diseases. Right living will prevent them. Liquor, over-eating, lack of fresh air and exercise, too close ap- Plication’ to work with too little re- enemies to be fought. Scientists can’ | fight these enemies alone. The most they can do is to spread know- ledge of how to live righily, and this they are doing. The rest must be done by the people themselves. Mo. of these! diseases are incurable, so they are worse than typhoid. Right living will prolong life but even that seidom cures. Right living will, how- ever, prevent; and that is vastly bet- ter than amy cure. If the average individuai gave half as much attention to such things as proper diet, proper living habits. and proper living conditions as a farm- er gives to the diet and living condi- tions of his hogs, victory over dis- eases of kidneys, heart, nerves and brain would quickly come. PUT OULUTH MAN ON STATE TICKET (Continued from page one.) But these echoes will not drown out any really important message the party; has, to give out to jthe voters. “Clewer, Bourbon politicians at St. Paul, many of whom have offices in the state capitol, by the grace of the late Governor Johnson’s appointment, are injecting all the acrimony they can. into national politics as they af- fect Minnesota’s congressional dis- tricts and the fuel within their reach seems to be sufficient to keep the political { pot {boiling. tion was paid to it, and when it was discussed the discussion took the form of airy persiflage more often than any other. Today the hookworn disease is still killing many and ruin- ing the lives of many more; but the public attitude—at least the scientific attitude—toward it has changed. Now all the resources of medicai sci- ence, in conjunction with public and philanthropic aid, are brought to bear agaimst the disease, and its conquest is only a question of time/and labor. But E. E. Rittenhouse, president of the Provident. Savings Life Assur- ance company, in his address at the conference gave some figures that are even more significant. Since 1880 the death rate from tu- berculosis has decreased 49 per cent, and $8,000,000 is being spent each year to fight it. Victory is in sight, and it takes no great stretch of the imagination.to picture a coming time when tuberculosis will be utterly de- stroyed. Its cause has been discover- ed, and its cure has been made possible. Better still, it is definitely known how to prevent its spread. It. methods naw well defined could be applied vigorously all over the coun- try, in ten years there wouldn’t be a case of consumption in the United States, except those that came from outside the country, and these would be watched and prevented from spreading. Yet even after this great gain 130,000 Americans bie every year from tuberculosis. The death rate from typhoid fever has declined 44 per cent in the same period. This is because the cause of the disease is known, and because better sanitation, etter water and better milk are being provided. Bad sanitation, bad water and bad miik being its causes, its extinction is a matter only of time and labor and kills 22,000 people each year in this country, “ é The- gain is encouraging, and it points the way to complete victory. Yet that victory is possible only at the price of the utmost vigilance, the the utmost generosity and liberality toward preventive measures, and the widest spread of knowledge on these subjects. “Meantime, @s an offset to these gains, the mortality from degener- ative diseases of the heart, kidneys, arteries and brain has largely in- creased during the same _ geriod. Deaths from kidney diseases have in- creased 131 per cent, deaths from heart diseases 57 per cent, and from apoplexy 84 per cent, Here is a great field for science to work upon; but Silence Agitating Friends. “Frank B. Kellog’s continued si- lence is still agitating his friends and those of Senator Clapp. He left here today for the east, with his mind still unspoken concerning his possi- ble candidacy for the senatorship. Newspaper writers, who have been waiting with some impatience to hear from, him, have haunted his office in vain and here is a well-defined rumor to the effect that he may give out something definite with regard to his plans, to eastern newspapers, al- though: he has said that he would not discuss the matter of an announce- ment, for three weeks if ever. “To talk in the east would be re- garded here as a mistake on his part, and Senator Clapp’s friends would re- joice in what the newspaper fraterni- ty would look upon as a tactless error. It is unlikely, however, thai the east jwill scoop the west on this particular story. There are very few rails down in the Clapp fences, but the comment is freely made by those who have been studying the situation with more or less attentiveness, that the opposition will attack with a heavy hammer and accomplish some demolition. But ask any political writer, town or country, and that writer will say, that ‘t is about time indications that he may or may not have something to say some time— are highly unsatisfactory. “An attractive outlook for political excitement in St. Paul is presented) in the possibility of a race between Dr. Justus Ohage, Republican famous on account of his work for public baths—and Henry Haas, Democratic and veteran municipal law-maker and member of the civic boards. A con- test for the mayoralty between those two Teutonic and militant politicians, however, is merely a possibility, al- though both are prominently men- tioned. 5 Berg Explodes a Bomb. “Alpert Berg has exploded a bomb in the largest senatorial district in the state, by filing for the senate from the Beltrami-Red Lake-Norman- Ciearwater-Mahnomen district, repre- sented in the last session by Senator A. L. Nelson. Albert Berg, former secretary of state, has been keeping quiet of late, but the big man from Spooner (where he now has his abode) is going into the fight in ex- cellent condition. C. L. Sulerud, the prohibition house member from Nor- man county, may be his most formid- able opponent. Interesting politics is brewing in practically every legis- lative district in ithe state. “The expected “story” from the Faribault investigation, seems to have failed of materialization, al- though Governor Eberhart’s investi- gators have not yet made their re- port.” For Rent, the. following residence properties: 7 room house with city water, recently repaired, corner.

COMPLETS CASS COUNTY DITCH Seven-Mile Drain Opens Vast Acreage of Fine Agricul- tural Lands. John Kohler, digging the seven-mile ditch near Cass Lake, which runs south from Grace Lake Spur, was in ‘Grand Ra- pids Saturday and stated that he had shipped his ditching outfit to Hill City where he has a similar contract. The construction of this ditch has opened up a vast amount of agricul- tural land and those farmers already locates! along the route of the new ditch are highly pleased. The va- cant land in the territory drained by this latest project will undoubtedly all be taken up in the spring. who had the job of For Rent, the following residence properties: 7 room house with city water, recently repaired, corner Hoffman avenue and Sixth street. 5 room house at corner Fisher ‘ave- nue and Third street. 4 room house at corner Winnipeg avenue and Sev- enth street.

Sweden. are own- ed by Duluth-Husa Copper Mines Co., of 218 West Superior Street, Du- Uth, Miunesota These mines are ninteen in number and they comprise an area of over 5,000 acres, 3,000 of which are heavily wooded. The com- pany owns sufficient water power for all purposes, making it en- tirely independent of mineral fuel, and mining operations can be carried on in Sweden by this company for less than a third of what it would cost it to do the same kind of work in the west- ern part of the United States. Prominent mining engineers of Sweden, Norway, Germany, Austria, England and the United States agreed in their reports on the famous Husa Mines. Two of them are here quoted: Dr. Gustaf Bescow, an eminent Swedish authortiy on mines writes of the Husa group: “A knowledge founded on _ ton experience has not on strengthened the conviction diitertatned qm the first that tren are great deposits of ore in this locality, but even demonstrated that these deposits are such that they might be called inexhaustible.” The same authority again writes of the Husa mines: “It seems that the conclusion is justified that there is no dan- ger of exhausting this stock of ore under any circumstances.” Engineer Dwight E. Woodbridge visited the Husa mines last summer, and from his report thereon the following was taken: “You are not far from a deep sea Port on the Atlantic, arid once there, .your ore is in direct connection at a very low freight rate with the great conper reduction centers of Belgium, Germany and England. Those who are not conversant with these ocean freight matters can have no conception of how low they are. | could give you example after example. Doubtless you will not smelt Husa ore yourself, at least not at first. You will ship to some smelting center. You will ship the concentrated ore, run- ning high in copper, so the freight rate per pound of copper will be almost infinitessimal, and you will be entirely independent of im- ported fuel for mining operations with your abundant water power close at hand. | am perfectly safe in saying that freight om eronah jen, your port, to those countries mentioned will not ks aoe jan three or four shillings per ton, Probably the former “In reference to those works in Euro iti and treat copper contentrates and raw Sells Rvlderes Ont the are many such concerns, notable among them being the Vivians of Wales. There are others in Wales, and a number in Antwerp Ghent and Brussels; also in Germany, where the Mansfield Copper company is not only smelting its own ores, but is in the mark- et for additional supplies. You may rest assured that, the ore once mined and sent to these ports, there will be no difficulty in getting it sold or reduced to metallic form at a reasonable charge.” The Duluth-Husa Copper Mines Company is now offering 20,000 shares of its treasury stock for the purpose of equipping with mod ern machinery.
