LET'S CLINCH THE MATTER.

with capitalization OF 500, 600 IN
our midst if our people will only
make the proper effort. The matter
has by no means been dead for the
past few weeks; on the contrary
those who have had it in charge
have been industriously correspon-
ding with experienced facrory men
from distance with view of in
ducing them to assist in the enter
prise.
1t is earnestly trusted that the
people will now push the factory
project through to full fruitlon.
They may talk it in earnest this
time; for the factory is bound to
come. The committees already
appointed should go industriously
to work and sell as many shares as
possible. In addition to the COM
mittccmen every man who feels an
interest in the welfare of the coun-
ty should talk it to his neighbors
and join with them in taking stock.
Every man who buys stock should
take as many shares as possible.
Factories at other places pay we'll
in nearly every instance, and there
is no reason why the Kosciusko
cotton factory should not pay as
we'll as the kosciusko compress.
Dividends of from 10 to 40 per cent
may be expected confidently.
In addition to the direct profits
of the enterprise every purchaser
of stock will also remember that.
he is subscribing for a large meas
ure of general prosperity in which
he will have part. In fact The
STAR has heard citizens propose to
donate good round sums to the
factory, from which they would ex-
pect no direct returns, and then
take stock in addition, believing
that the money donated would be
repaid in the general prosperity
that would ensue.
We have come to the parting Of the
ways and this country must choose
new and progressive systems or re-
main forever in the old ruts OF de-
preston, into which it will sink
deeper and deeper. Present con-
ditions have bankrupted our mcr-
chants and ruined our farmers. A
change is inevitable if we wish to
reverse these conditions, Prog

WINoNA, Mimi, Jan. 2.-ConsideTa-
bic comment has been caused in the
political circles of the city by the fact
that William ToIleson, the county
treasurer elect, has failed to qualify,
and cannot now assume his office at the
same time the other officials step in.
Tolieson was elected to the office of
county treasurer by the Republicans.
and when majority of 10 was an
nounced he himself was the most sur
prised man in the county. The oriGina
nominee refused to run, and Tolleson's
name was only put on the ticket to fiji
it ont. The old board OF county com
missioners met for the last time on Sat-
urday last and at that time all the
bonds of the recently elected officers
were approved. save in the case above
mentioned. The amount of bonds re-
quiTed is S120, 600 for the county and
$4,000 for the state. The new officers
assume their positions next Menday.
Jan. :, and as the new board OF county
commissioners does not meet until the
Tuesday after, Tolles0n cannot al that
time act as county treasurer. Various
reasons are assigned for the delay in
getting the bonds. If he does not quail

of Minnesota, a member Of the commit
tee on foreign relations. said today that
the war between China and japan will
result in great extension Of commerce
between the United States and both OF
these countries.
"Of course he said, ''our commerce
is not anything of I'm portance compared
to what it might be with proper eneour-
agement. Tie war, in my opinion. will
will result in the reorganization of the
Chinese empire in accordance with the
progress and the development of the
world. This reorganization must be
made. The people of CHINA are inteli-
gent. and will be progressive. They
have been in state of staguatioa for q
time. but forces are at work. The war
will teach them that the old customs
ana the old ideas will not do in the
present age"
Mr.. Davis thinks that the war Will
call attention of the people of the
United States to the importance of both
China ana Japan as markets for our
wares. and that many products of these
countries will find market IN the
