The demonstrations, in contract to those of the years before the war, were of a solemn nature. The meeting of the monarchs and their plans to issue a statement proves that many of the important is sues of the war are being tried out be fore the Court of Public Opinion of the IWorld. Never before have the great monarchs been so assiduous in courting favorable public opinion. This is in itself an evidence of the approaching democratic wave that is sweeping over Europe. 3T. PAUL'S WINTER CARNIVAL ' Robed in multi-colored costumes .hat breathed the spirit of the North onds, thousands of men and women, oys and girls Saturday frolliced in it. Paul's snow banks, and disported n sub-zero air. It is the second an mal St. Paul Outdoor Winter Sports .arnival, and will last until February The city was given over entirely to ralety. Parades, marching club dem-1 'nitrations, and nil activities of the i nonster celebrations were hold out-1 ors. The affair this year grew near 0 national prominence. Its boosters jlan that it will surpass the New Or gans Mardi Gras, the St. Ixiuis Veiled frophct unveiling1, and the Portland Jose week celebrations. 1 Louis W. Hill, son of the late James j.

La Grande National Bank Hundreds of bands played uncom plainingly in the low temperatures throughout the city. Strong men from the South St. Paul stockyards formed a fearless "Hook 'cm Cow," marching club, which made merry by promis cou.sly grabbing any one not smiling, and bouncing them in a blanket. This is the right spirit. Winter has its joys as well as sum mer. The way to do in the winter time is to join in hardy winter sports and en joy life. St. Paul is making an asset of its winter climate. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT ,. , , , . '"lorn Brown," who has served terms in Auburn, Sing Sing, Dannemora and out of Uncle Sam's naval prison at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a free man. Whether he win go oacK inio jail again soon depends upon his own free will. For "Tom Brown," be it known, is Thomas Mott Osborne, prison reform er fm-mpr u-nrilpn nf New York's fa- mous penal institution at Sing Sing. He completed Saturday a ten day "term in the naval prison at the re quest of Secretary of the Navy Dan iels, who wanted a complete report on conditions in the prison and the feeling of the inmates all of them enlisted sailors. With "Brown", for the past ten days as convicts have been Prof. John MeCormick, professor of political science r.l Ilowdoin uni- versity, and Harry Holamsky, Os borne's rescretary The three were treated exactly like othe convicts in the prison. They wore the same clothes, ate the same food, did the same hard labor on the Ports mouth rock piles and no hint was giv en the convicts but that the trio were ! real "bad men" serving time like the . ri!Sl t them. This is Osborne's third voluntary j"term" in a prison to obtain first i hand information as to conditions. His ! first "sentence" was at Auburn sev eral years ago. We will be interested in hearing what prison reforms these gentlemen will suggest. BLUNDERS NOT THE RULE n i .1.1 . . J . , -v , Willi. UlUIlUeiS 1IIUUC IJV lllltllVBll A- noJinn rathfir thnn the rule the National Foreign Trade council reported to the fourth Nation- I al Foreign Trade convention that the Ifragmentary reports made on Amer I ican trade have given an erroneous I impression. I mi i 1 i. I Th P0 8ttl(i ' Pult: A situa tion has recently arisen affecting the reputation of American exporters which contains elements tooth of great irood and great harm. Certain Amer ican consuls, commercial organiza tions and banks have done a useful service in sharply calling attention to specific derelictions on the part of Americans in export trade. In itself, this has done good, but it is apparent that many newspapers, magazines and individuals have made these specific complaints the basis for generalizations highly discreditable to 'all American foreign trnde. This gen eralization is untrue. This can be proven by citing that our export of manufactures nearly doubled between 1!)06 and 1913 a practically unparallel ed expansion." This report is undoubtedly true. When it comes to good business ethics and to efficiency the American manu facturer loads the world. Picked Up By The Stroller The Cincinnati, Ohio, man who had I his pockets picked of $6000 cash kept his money handy for the pickpocket. Even when the home team loses, the boys always put up a good fight. It requires as much moral courage to stand defeat as it does to act like gen tlemen in the presence of victory. 4? 4- 4? 4- 4 4- 4- 4? x Alive! t 4 n;ie i;oiic.

WORKERS TOGETHER WITH HIM (Continued From Page One) the buter on Johnnie's toast, the cream for grandpa's coffee, the cheese in your sandwich and the re freshing contents of the old chug enurn are hut royal tributes paid by the hero of the plains or the knight of tne dairy barn, ileres to the men who hold the rein, who loon the horn and who crowd the markets of the world with the stock from a thousand hills. The state camp of the Modern Wood men is scheduled for our citv i n Mav. This organization represents the idea of fraternnlism and cooDeration among men.

They are vitally interested in I not only the raising of stock but in the character, honesty and integrity of the stock raiser. They hold that it is not enough to be a big stockman but that it is supremely necessary for that big stockman to be a dependable, square-dealing and respectable citizen. Fraternalism or brother love, so em phasized by the Woodmen, is one of the cardinal principles of the Young People's order. They recognize, too, the necessity of opposing common enemies. For ex ample it is well known that John Bar leycorn is a mighty poor hand with horses or with cattle, that his presence in a Woodman camp is about as desir able and profitable as a pole-cat at a card party and so far as benefitting young people, generally is concerned, his answer to roll-call is greeted in about the same way as the presence of a fire-brand would be welcomed in a powder house. Therefore these same young people said to John, some three years ago, "We give you until 1920 to write your will, say your pray ers, pack your grip including bottle, jug and corkscrew, and start to the island of Oblivion, from whose shores you shall never return," j Yes, we are working together ' stockmen, Woodmen and young men. j working together with Him.
