"TaaN WHAT"

With this laconic and suggestive in.
quiry, Fred Grundy concludes an
article in our Forum department this
week which he has entitled the
Awakening of the Farmer" What
will follow this awakenipgG is the ques-
ton he asks. 1t is an important ques
tino, and one which not only the far
mer, but every other citizen, is inter
ested in having answered.
We believe that the awakening of
the farmer will mark the dawn Of
political and economic and social
peace. Mr.. Grundy draws a strong
picture Of the inequities under which
the farmer struggles, but his awaken
ing will nevertheless give the world no
rude shock; no revolutionary spirit is
his. Justice, equality, fairplay, r all
the farmer aeks for himself; all that he
believes any man should ask from his
fellows. Therefore, we say, the awaken
ing of the farmer will mark the epoch
Of that peace and true prosperity
wherein the intellectual and moral, as
we'll as the material, forces shall have
full play, and a s. mmetricel develop
men5 of man be encouraged and as.
sured. VOICE.

PRESIDENT VISION.

Eiitor Johnson, of Charity and Chill
dren, says: president Winston seems
to have q clearer idea of the mission Of
the A. & M. College than any previous
president. Let us give him a chance.
If he will stick to the college and not
try to run the legislature he may do
the State q good service. Anyhow, he
should not be criticised until he be
an offender" That's sound.
President Winston has certainly put
new life into the college and the stu.
dents seem to admire him as a man
and as a teacher. Toe only criticism
we can think of making-and that
may be is unjust-is that he seems in
cIined to encourage boys to study
mechanics in some shape rather than
agriculture. We need more cotton
mill superintendent, electrical engi-
neers, ETC., of course, but the fact re
mains that the Safe needs and can
hnd places for q hundred educated,
elLequipped, up to date farmers for
each electrical engineer or cotton mill
superintendent that we need.

should be ~subtracted, divided or multi
piled. Instead of a score of pages of
sums to be divided by certain num
bers, another score of pages giving mum.
bers to be multiplied by certain other
numbers, etc, etc., we need books
which will cause the child to reason
and study in what instances he must
make use of his knowledge Of division.
in what instances his knowledge Of
subtraction, ETC., etc. And this item
of poor primary arithmetics is but one
of many. Lot our teachers and parents
look into the matter. Give fifteen
minutes time to a comparison of the
primary arithmetics used in the city
schools with those used in the country
schools and you will realize the truth
of all we have said in this article.

Anarchy is unpopular in every part
of the civilized world. 1t promises
nothing but confusion and INSTABILITY
1t inculcates nothing but defmG TO
orderly regulation and to the claims Of
personal and property rights. The @n
of Parsons, the executed Chicago Hay
market anarchist, recently resented
the government of his mother b
drawing a knife upon her; and she %
peRled to the law which she has made
it her life's work to deuounce, for pr
lection. The boy was only fOIloWi
the precepts of his parents, WaS
right had she, according 20 her ON
teachings, to establish government SN

the most desperate anarchists that ts
couHtry has ever seen, are not sleeping
in a Chicago cemetery or hRrangulaS

WILDMAN'S SUGGESTION.
Consul ut HOnE-KOng Says Ameri.
cans Must Risk More to Compete
Successfully for China Trade.

Consul General Wildman, at Hong
Kong, in reporting to the state depart
ment on the development of trade with
China as the result of the opening up
of the Philippines, says: IF l may be
permitted to make a comparison be-
tween the trade operations of the Eng
fish, Germans and Americans l would
say that the Americans are less daring
and less confident than the other two.
The idea of even our largest manufac-
turers seems to be that they can COM
mence on this coast in small way and
build up, with the expectation that
their ventures ought to pay from the
start. There is only one way for Amer
lean manufacturers to win their way
here, and that is to thoroughly study
the market. decide whether their goods
are suitable, and then establish house
or agency large enough to command
the respect of the great Chinese houses
and the consideration of the English
and German firms that have been es-
tablished here for years."

JOHN B. BRALEY DEAD.
Passed Away at his Vermont Home
Friday, Dec. 9th.

John B. Braley of st. Johnsburv,
Vermont. quite well known here as
a money loaner, aud as having Wis
tied this place yearly for several
years past. passed away very sud
denly of heart failure at his St
Johnsbury home on Friday after
noon, Dec. 9Th, aged a years.
The ST. Johnsbury Caledouian
states that the death of Mr.. Bradley
removes another from the already
thin ranks of those hardy pioneers
who in the early fifties forced civil
lization into the wilderness of the
northwest. He was born at Pom
fret, April Is, 1925; his early life
was spent upon a farm md later in
teaching school in Bridgewater and
Barnard. In 1852 he made his first
trip West. going by canal and stage
as far as Oshkosh, Wis. This was
at that time one of the most lawless
of the frontier settlements and the
year spent there was one of con-
tinued excitement and adventure

again started for the far west. This
time he located at what is now Fart
bault. Mimi, building the first
store in the settlement.
During the first years in Fari-
bault the nearest base of supplies
was nearly 300 miles away, and
during the winter when the water
ways were frozen communication
with the outer world was extremely
difficult. Something of the iron
will and unflinching purpose Of the
man may be gathered from ali ex-
perience he sometime related. Col

the request of County Attorney
Clague the case was continued I'M
til yesterday~in order to give Mr..
Clague an opportunity to get a

from. Todd county, the belief being
that Robbins knows something
about the affair. In case Robbins
does not it is likely that the pros

not, is question. He is about 30

they called him Jack Diamond He
claims that ne left Redwood Falls

FRUIT TREES FOR HIGHWAYS
System In Vogue In France, Germany
and Belgium That Is Remunera-
tive as Well as Attractive,

Twenty years ago the picturesque
roads Of the mort, beast of France were
lined with stately poplars; but, al
though ornamental, their roots went
far and wide, rendering the adjacent
meadows sterile, and plows were con-
tinually stopped by offshoots lying al
most at the surface of the soil. The
farmers appealed in such strong terms
that the communes decided on the fall
of the poplar. and axes and saws were
brought into requisition and the roads
cleared of these trees in favor of the
humble but more useful small plum, to
the great satisfaction of the villagers.
Thousands of baskets of this fruit are
shipped to Paris daily. 1t is not only
in France, however. that fruit trees
have been planted along the roadside;
in Germany, Belgium and the duchy
Of Gutenberg the system has been
greatly developed. giving satisfaction
to the state as well as to local inter-
ests. On the roads of Wurtemb berg, for
instance, the fruit harvest from this
source produced in 1878 over $780,
900, and last year the return had more
than trebled. The annual revenue de-
rived from the national roads of Sax
ony planted with fruit trees rose from
$4,000 in 1880 to $4,000 in 1892, fur
nishing total sum of $34O, 900 for tho
13 years. In Belgium, according to the
statistics of 1894, over 4,63O kilometers
of roads were planted with 741.571 fruit
trees. which furnished the almost in
credible sum of So 100000.
