Exports of Corn.

The remarkable growth of our ex-
ports OF corn and cornmeal shows that
in the near future Europe will take
about all the surplus crop that we can
raise. Since 1893 the increase in the
exports of corn have grown fourfold.
or from 1902, 1873 bushels to 185, 852, $50
bushels for the first eleven months of
the present year. Cornneal exports
have not increased in the same proper
ton, showing that Europeans prefer to
import the corn in bulk and grind it
for themselves, thus saving the cost of
labor in the mills and the cost of sack.

its expectation is more or less a new

hard work to educate the foreigners up

Our Responsibility In China.

The United States finds herself today
the determining force in the arbltra-
ment of China's future and face to face
with a mighty responsibility, for the
following reasons: First, we have new
er demanded the cession for our exclu-
siVe use of any port in China or any
part of Chinese territory; second, we
have never claimed any particular field
Of political or material operation, and
We have never recognized the right of
any other nation to claim such spheres;
third, we are the first power to take
steps that will limit one of the princi-
pal objects of these spheres-the con-
troll of trade therein-and insist that
the other powers will respect the treaty
rights of the open door, of freedom of
trade, throughout all China; fourth, we
are hence the only country that stands
unreservedly for the integrity of the
empire, for If we should consent to &C
tual delimitation Of spheres and to the
lapsing of treaty rights, China would
be speedily divided among the great
powers of Europe and Japan; and fifth,
by possession of the Philippine Islands
and Hawaii supplementing our Pacific
coast line of California, Oregon, Wash
ington, and Alaska, we are politically
and commercially located to be the par
amount power of the Pacific, and can
not, without serious detriment to our
selves, permit any curtailment of our
legitimate field of commerce, exploita-
ton, and infusnce.-From "Our Inter-
ests in China-A Question of the Hour"

ury during Republican administra-
ton. When we had Free Trade, or
Tariff reform, the Democratic admin
istration sold oyer $685., 100000 in inter
est bearing bonds to obtain gold with
which 10 maintain the gold reserve and
to pay current expenses of the Govern
ment. There has been no drain on the
gold in the Treasury since the Repub-
licans were placed In charge Of 1t, be-
cause the people have full confidence In
the financial ability of the Republican
party. If the Democratic party was
placed inpoWer tomorrow our unparal-
leled prosperity would vanish, our gold
reserve would melt away like snow Ia
August, and before six months had
passed the "endless chain" would be
doing business at the old stand, bonds
would be sold to pay expenses and main
tain the gold reserve, business would be
paralized and before a year had passed
the country would be swept by panic,
and labor would be thrown out of en-
ploymsnt.-EU.

A North Idaho View.

Ex-senator Dubois has again forced
himself Prominently into the arena of
political discussion In this State, but
this latest leap into public view is of
such a peculiar nature that it has
neither added credit to his wisdom,
nor to his patriotism. Ills political
associates in the State keenly feel the
damning degradation to which the
ex-senator desires to drag them by
uniting the Silver Republicans with

sible for the war in the Philippines,
but for the death of every American
soldier on those islands, to say nothing
Of the millions of dollars the nation has
been compelled to spend to maintain
its honor. It is quite evident that the
struggling remnant of sO-calIed Silver
Republicanism are in desperate STREETS.
The leaders are lost In sea of doubt.
They have neither the courage to sail
into a Democratic harbor of refuge
nor the independence to return to the
Republican fold. Politics has been

is, organization Of an irrigation
district under the Phyllis canal.
We have heard that State Engi-
neer Ross intimated a suspicion
Of that kind, and for all we know
to the contrary there may be some
truth in it. However, it seems TO
us that there is such a thing as
the legitimate financing of a prop
osition. If we owned the Phyllis
canal, we incline to the thought
that we would cheerfully give
$751; or $4,000 to anybody
who could sell it for $4,000, and
it would not trouble our con
science in the least. On the other
hand, if we owned the Strahorn,
we might just as willingly pay a
couple of thousand dollars COM
mission to anyone who could sell
it for $4,000. Wouldn't you?
There is one other thing: the
Strahorn fell fiat because it did
not have friends enough to put
up small bond TO secure
payment of preliminary expenses.
Now, what is the use of trying to
bolster up such a forsaken scheme
as that? The Record, though, is
somewhat celebrated for its 10y
atty to forlorn hopes.

THE TRIBUNE feels that the
City Council is deserving of high
commentator for putting in the
present system of street lights.
Nothing before done has contri-
buted more TO the comfort and saf-
ETY. of the of this place. Thus far
the system has been eminently
satisfactory and if it SO continues,
we believe it ought, and will be,
largely extended. We congratu-
late the council collectively and
individually.

will be happier children, stron ger

LESS WORK, MORE PLAY.

An article in the current Ladies
Home TOarnaltouches on a ques-
ton of vast Importance to all
classes Of people. The burden
Ofitis that school children between
the ages of 6 and IS are over
worked and under played. The
writer having had some expert
ence in theschoolroom both as pu-
pill and teacher has often though
seriously along the lines of the ar
ticle in the Ladies Home Journal;
but, it is well to remember that TO
a great extent, so far as the reg :
ulation of school hours is con-
cerned, the teacher is almost as
helpless as the pupil. Parents are
so conscientious in the matter of
education that they are apt to deal
with it upon the same plan that
the Chinaman did with the boots.
He wanted the largest boots in
the store because there was so
much more leather in them than
the ones that fit his feet. Parents
on the same plan urge long.hours
without much regard to the ca
r9city of the children. 1t is our
opinion, now happily backed by
educators, physicians and scientists
of highest repute, that from two
to three hours day is as long as
children should be confined in the
schoolroom; that evening, or
night, study should be discouraged
to the point of prohibition; that
in more play and less work, be-
tween the ages of 6 and IS, lies
the physical and mental salvation
of the race. 1t has been satisfac.
torily demonstrated that success
in school has ultimately been in
an inverse ratio to the number of
school hours in day. The av-
erage child is capable of only
about eight consecutive minutes
of concentration on any subject,
and from IS to SO minutes of hard
study is about all any child can
stand in one day without impair
ment of health mentally, as well
as physically. This is well known
to every observing teacher. In
the interest of the thousands of
little folks of Idaho, we would APP
peal to the parents and school
boards to seriously consider the
question of school hours. Instead
of obliging teachers to conform to
iron clad rules in respect to the
number of hours school must be
kept open each day, leave that to
the discretion of the teacher very
largely, and hold him or her strict
ly responsible for general results.
Teachers know instinctively when
the pupils begin to weary; they
know it just as a public speaker
knows that his audience is getting
tired; and teachers know that to
keep the little ones in school after
they begin to become restless, or
moody, or listless, is an absolute
waste of time-worse than that,
it is cruelty. We are inclined to
sometimes think that too many
text books are used; that it would
be better if there was more oral
instruction. The things that are
told generally make a more dur
able impression than the things
which are read. Now, with the
beginning Of the New Year and
the ending months of an old cen

bad humor, and it strikes out
blindly at everything within reach.
1t is particularly venomous to-
wards THE TRIBUNE and acts as
though it were going to "chaw"
us all up. These spasams of rage
are the bane of the Record, be-
cause they provoke it to extre M
tiles in the way of fanciful state
ments. Under normal conditions,
1T keeps within the range Of pos
sibilities, and in some Of its ro-
mances a spark of truth can be
found if you hunt diligently. For
example: Last week the Record
said that in the event of Silver
Republican convention, Mart Pat
RE declared he would be dele
gate. What Mr.. Patrie really
said was that if the survivors of
the Silver Republican wreck
wanted to hold post-mortem, he
would be glad to attend as wit
ness. You see the Record was
measurably accurate, considering
that its editor was the reporter in
fact. In this weeks issue, the
Record is violently acrimonious,
notwithstanding our good natured
attempt to mollify it last week.
We let it down just as easy as
possible, and hoped thereby to
shield it from an attack of fabri-
eating hysteria. Last week it
had slight paroxysm on account
of defective circulation. This
week it has gone into commissions
over irrigation. Among other
things it charges as follows: "We
are told that the editor of THE
TRIBUNE was opposed to taking
the Phyllis in until he found that
a tract of school land in which he
is interested could not be covered
by the Strahorn (Caldwell) dis
trict," We suspected last week
that the Record was scheming to
make personal attack on us, but
believed it would confne itself to
the subject of indigency. But
here it comes with an indictment
of perfdy. 1t says, in effect, that
we are trying to mislead the pub
lie to promote private and Eselfsh
ends. 1t also intimates that we
have been seduced from rectitude
by the money of the Phyllis canal
"push." Well, now, who would
not urge proposition which, if
successful, would benefit him so
generously five are interested
in school lands which may be ir-
rigated from the Phyllis and can
not be irrigated from the Strahcrn,
is it not quite natural that we
should work for the Phyllis dis
trict, especially if we are paid for
it9 Is there anything illegitimate
or immoral in working for ones
own interests? Would not the
editor of the Record do that
We appreciate the fact that he
has finally almost cornered us, and
we are almost driven to the hui
initiating confession that we are
not wholly philanthropic. There
is only one flaw in the Recora's
indictment, and we must take adj
vantage of it, even if it may be
said that we escaped on a mere
technicality. 1t so happens that
every inch of school lands, every
inch of other lands in Car yon
county, in which we have any per-
sonal interests, is irrigable rom
the proposed Strahorn system.
The fact, which is susceptible of
proof strong as holy writ, knocks
a large triangular hole in the
Records indictment, and throws

know why II Is constituted that
way, unless its judgments are
based upon its own instincts. But
we want to say a word, and we
trust it will not be regarded as
in any prospect "covert" Recently,
we had little conversation with
a representative of the Phyllis ca
nal, and in discussing the econom-
ical phases of the proposed Phyllis
district, we took occasion to tell
the representative frankly that if
we were managing the business
we would never give Mr.. Brad
bury $4,000 for his canal, and
we intimated that when the prop
er time came, we would use what
ever influence we might possess
to prevent the payment of such a
price; and Mr.. Bloomfield did not
offer us a cent, and we venture to
say that he will verify these state
ments. OF course, the Record
could not conceive of such a Cir
cumstance. To its mind it would
present the impossible meeting of
two impossible fools-an utter inn
possibility. The Records deeply
distressed in contemplation of the
fact that the Phyllis people have
laid aside funds for debauching
the press, and it has not had an
opportunity to defend the citadel
of its virtue; indeed, the ravishers
have not approached its outworks,
and the Records wondering what
is the matter with its attractions.
In this connection, and as throw
ing some light on the deflourment
of the Record, we advise it to con-
suit State Engineer Ross. We
believe he has a theory respect
ing the disbursement of those
funds, the exposition of which
would be interesting to a promi-
nent county officer. But, by the
way, it was a street talk not long
ago that people connected with
the Strahorn proposition were
paying literally to have their
scheme financed. How does it
happen that the Record did not
tumble to that? THE TRIBUNE
had chance to get in on the
ground floor, but regarded the
business as strictly within the
Records sphere of influence and
generously kept out. We be-
lieve it would be wrong to inter-
fere in the Records chosen field,
and compete with it in its special
tiles. The Record accuses us of
making a 'covert attack" on State
Engineer Ross, and says it was
"uncalled for unless THE TRIBUNE
is prepared to state some tangible
reason for the assault" 1t would
be hard to tell what the Record
means by the term Covert" but
it evidently imagines it is a very
sinful adjective, closely allied to
villainous and murderous. How
ever, we made no attack, covert,
overt or otherwise. We simply
repeated in substance what a
Caldwell gentleman discovered
after lengthy interview with Mr..
Ross; and that gentleman has
been one of the most active and
faithful promoters of the Strahorn
district. The Record takes pains
to make it clear to us that Mr..
Wiley and not Mr.. Ross did the
surveying. This was thoughtful,
being that we had never so much
as intimated anything to the con-
,trary, and in the very article which
the Record criticised we specifi-
cally refer to Mr.. Wiley's report;
but as Mr.. Ross endorsed that re-
