In assuming the editorial management of the "Review" I fully comprehend the width and the breadth of the responsibilities connected with this I also know the importance of facts which if recognized as integral parts of Newspaper work will go a great ways to make up and to tpublish a readable sheet.

The Rich Man's Champagne and XThe Poor Man's Blanket In his address to the country when the Senate tariff bill was reported from the finance committee. Senator Aldrich declared that the bill provided for a reduction of the duty on necessities and an increase of the duty on luxuries. Discussion has proved that there is not a line of downward revision in the pending Senate bill and no prospect of such a line appearing. The woolen schedules, which have been adopted by the Senate, in the face of bitter protests by Senators Dolliver, La Pollette and other progressive senators from the Middle conclusively show some of the jokers and inequalities in the pending bill.

St. Pau Dispatch. The tax on blankets valued at less than 40 cents a pound is 107 per cent ad valorem. The tax is greater than the price. Blankets that cost over 50 cents a pound are taxed 71 per cent.

If they are more than three yards in length and are valued at less than 40 cents a pound, the tax is 165 per cent. If the value is more than 70 cents, the tax is 104 per cent. As usual the highest tax is on the cheapest product, though all these taxes are monstrous. The duties on the higher-priced blankets are 71 and 104 per cent, and those on the cheapest blankets are 107 and 165 per cent. No one will contend that the difference between the cost of labor in this country and abroad amounts to more than the cost of the manufactured article.

The only answer is that the high protection goes into the pockets of the Woolen trust. The Baltimore News has this very lucid explanation of the way the tariff operates to the hurt of the consumer and the enrichment of the Woolen trust: The worsted manufacture of the country is dominated by the American Woolen company. In making worsteds, those wools are used which shrink least. In making carded wool, those wools are used which shrink most. But the duty is the same on both.

So it works out this way: The carded wool man brings in, say, 100,000 pounds of grease wool, and pays 11 cents a pound duty. Then he washes and scours it to get the grease out, and he has left 50,000 pounds of real wool. That makes his duty 22 cents a pound. The worsted man brings in 100,000 pounds of the lightshrink wool suited for his business, and pays 11 cents a pound duty. He then scours it, and finds that it has shrunk, not to 50,000 pounds, but to about 85,000 pounds.

The carded wool man paid $11,000 to get 50,000 pounds of actual wool past the custom house. The worsted man paid $11,000 to get 85,000 pounds of his kind of wool past. There is joker No. 1. Joker No.

2 lies in the fact that Class wool, washed on the sheep's back, is taxed 22 cents, while Class 2 wool, washed on the sheep's back, is taxed only 12 cents. Result: No Class 1 wool can be imported at all. It's the sort of carded woolen-makers use. It's also the sort of wool they raise in Utah, Wyoming and the other states whose Senators are so well pleased with the present wool schedule. But Class 2 wool, with only the 12-cent rate, can be imported it's the kind the Woolen trust uses, and the kind they raise in the Middle West.

There is the whole thing. The Woolen trust gets cheap wool, the carded woolen people get dear wool. The trust makes big profits, the carded wool people are going out of business. The raisers of Class 1 wool make a huge profit because no foreign wool which will compete with them can come in. The raisers of Class 2 wool make small profits because their duty is low and they must meet foreign competition.

Zephyr and Cyclone. And that explains the combination between the New England Senators who have the Woolen trust factories as constituents and the far Western Senators who raise the No. 1 wool.

He criticised President Roosevelt for giving immunity to the steel trust and expressed the belief that if efforts to curb the corporations are suspended the country will have an upheaval compared with which "the mild and harmless experiments of the last administration will seem like a midsummer zephyr alongside of a cyclone." Mr.

Untermeyer acted as counsel for Adolph Segal in the recent suit against the sugar trust. Asked as to whether his client had declined to press such a prosecution or take any active part in aiding it he said: "What would be the use. The sugar company has been a consistent lawbreaker ever since its birth. Its activities in congress has been one of the scandals of the country for maDy years. It has robbed the people and ruined its would-be competitors.

But it is no worse than many others in its criminal methods and not quite so bad as some. "This suddenly aroused virtuous abhorrence of its methods is amusing. It accidentally happens at the moment to be the scapegoat, but as the government has waited until after the principal offenders are dead, it doesn't matter much. "Whenever the government really wants to bring the criminal rich, those who are managing these conspiracies that are notoriously violating the criminal law, within the penalties of that law, it will not be difficult There never has been an honest, intelligent effort to enforce the ample provisions of the law against any of the monster monopolies. "The government has had no crouble in convicting and driving out of business a few poor, struggling, comparatively harmless combinations that were put together to prevent ank- Appropriation for Brown County.

tion at the other until the increase in the cost of living is alarming, have remained immune until every lawyer who has had to deal with this big question knows that the pretended 'enforcement' of the law is a huge farce. "Every time the government has had the chance to enforce the criminal provisions of the law it has run. We all know that the anti-trust law is being openly flaunted and violated every day by some of the most powerful men in the land. There are numberless secret, unlawful pools to control prices and restrict production operating in this city today, many of them under written agreements that are criminal conspiracies on their faces. "If a fraction of the energy that is wasted in smashing gambling house doors and watching saloons were extended in getting evidence that is obtainable, we should soon be able to bring this great evil under control.

"Pools and combinations are growing stronger and more numerous. Individual enterprise is being strangled. Unless they are brought within the clutch of the criminal law and destroyed the future is fraught with danger. The only way to regulate them is to bury them "Until the public mind is aroused to a recognition of the extent of the evils from which we are suffering, and the far greater dangers that are threatening us, it is useless to attempt to bring these men within the law. Their power is so great that they are practically above the law, except when confronted with an aroused public opinion.

Much Accomplished forthe Work of Missions. Education and Advancement. College to Remain in New Ulm. Tuesday afternoon the convention of the Lutheran Synod of Minnesota closed. It had been in session continuously since June 16 and'the days of the convention will no doubt be remembered long by all the delegates as days of earnest work not only but also of many a pleasant incident.

The reports of all the officers show the Synod to be in a prosperous condition and a healthy and steady growth is to be recorded. The treasurer's report shows a marked increase of monies received. Rev. F. Koehler states that during the fiscal year the receipts were $13,632.23 the expenses $13,119.13.

The secretary's report shows the following membership: 83 ordained ministers, 57 parishes, 23 parochial school teachers and 25 congregation which are affiliated with the Synod but as yet have not become full members. These parishes are in charge of a synodical minister and will no doubt in course of time take advantage of all inducements and privileges of a parochial synodical memberchip. The Synod owns and supports in connection with the other Synods two prominent institutions of learning. The Dr. Martin Luther College in our city and the Theological Seminary at Wauwatosa, Wis.

The Synod of Minnesota proper, the Nebraska, Wis consin, Michigan and Missouri Synod constitute the general body known as the Synodical Conference. Impressed by the superior advantages of our city, natural and otherwise, and guided by economical as well as financial reasons the Delegates of the Lutheran Synod of Minnesota decided by an overwhelming vote to give New Ulm the preference over the rival towns of Hutchinson and St. James and to have the Dr. Martin Luther College remain permanently within the walls of our beautiful City. Thus a hard-fought battle was ended and a well deserved victory was won.

The outcome of the vote was, indeed, a great surprise not only to the Hutchinson Delegation and their friends, but to all concerned. The vote stood as follows: New Ulm 92: Hutchinson 9 St. James 3 St. Paul 1 Minneapolis 1 Stillwater 1. The Commercial Club of New Ulm deserves credit for the efficient work they have rendered in this matter and the effective campaign they have inaugurated previous to the meeting of the Synod.

New Ulm has always been proud of the fact that an institution of learning of the great Lutheran Body had become an integral part of our civil social and intellectual life, and both the College authorities as well as the Synod at large can rest assured that the Commercial Club and the City will make good on their promises regarding the improvements which are absolutely necessary for the College property. This body carries on and supports an extensive missionary work amongst the Indians, Negroes and the people of India. The following officers were elected and they will take care of all the executive business during the synodical year: President, Rev. A. Schroedel, St.

Paul vice president, Rev. A. F. Zich, Sleepy Eye secretary, Rev. F.

Koehler, Nicollet treasurer, J. W. Boock, Gibbon Superintendents: 1st District, Rev. Pankow 2nd District, Rev. C.

J. Albrecht 3. District, Rev. Fritz. Superintendent of Missions, Rev.

Naumann, Wood Lake. The financial interests will be taken care of by the following appropriations: Institutions $3,200 Home Missions $4,500 widows and orphans $1,800 repair for college $300 the buildmgand extension fund is to be maintained by a special collection to be taken up amongst the individual members the Orphan's Home at Belle Plaine will be provided with funds collected by envelopes distributed throughout the Synod. Resolution of thanks were adopted as follows: To St. Paul's Lutheran church and the pastor for their marked hospitality: to Prof. Pieper for his instructive doctrinal paper to the Commercial Club of New Ulm for their courtesy in entertaining the delegates.

A resolution of regret was sent to Hutchinson and St. James for having declined their liberal offer regarding the proposed college property. The building committee in charge of the new college building at New Ulm consists of Prof. Ackermann New Ulm Wm. Poppenberger St.

Paul: Louis Buenger New Ulm John Albrecht Hutchinson Emil Gierke St. Peter who will work out plans jointly with the Board of Trustees. The members of the Synod will be informed from time to time of the proceedings of the committee. Interesting and most edifying services were held Sunday. Rev.

Prof. Schaller preaching in the morning and Rev. Hinnenthal in the evening. The closing services were held Monday with Rev. Fritz, Boyd, Minn in the pulpit.

All the delegates have left for home, taking with them pleasant recollections from our fair city. And the people of New Ulm, especially the members of St. Paul's church, will long remember the Synodical days of 1909. Baseball Notes.

1 3 Mme. Anna Hellstrom, the Swedish prima donna, whose brilliant success in the college auditorium at St. Peter two years ago was little short of sen-s sational, and her husband, Martin Oscar, prima barytone of the Opera of Stockholm, will give a grand concert in the same auditorium next Monday evening, June 28th. Those who were so delighted with her singing at the last visit will be pleased to learn that an entirely new program will be given at this concert. Mme.

Hellstrom, like her great predecessor of the Stockholm opera, ny Lind, was trained musically and histrionically within the walls of this venerable institution from childhood. Like Christine Nilsson, she is a daughter of the people and intimately in touch with all that is frank, tender and wholesome in human sentiment. She made her debut in Her rise to prominence was assured from the very beginning, her exceptional vocal resources, excellent artistic training, great versatility and charming stage presence marking her for first honors with press and public. Martin Oscar, the husband of the famous cantatrice, is himself an artist of accomplishments and rising fame. He comes from a musical family and his training as a musician has been very thorough.

At the age of six he composed his first song and at thirteen he officiated at high mass in the church of his native city. Late king Oscar and a few others paid for his tuition at the Royal Academy of Music at Stockholm, where he graduated as organist and teacher of music in 1900. Two years later he had under the direction of John Forsell, Sweden's greatest barytone, who now goes to New York city to join the Metropolitan opera, equipped himself musically and histrionically for the Royal Opera of Stockholm, where he now succeeds his former teacher.
