AMERICA IN CHINA ONCE MORE.

AMERICA IN CHINA ONCE MORE.
''While others are thinking and
talking of Cuba and Porto Rico and
the Philippines as the gold mines
that wait upon American enterprise
in commercial and manufacturing
lines, let us speak of China, as it
stands to-day, our true Ell Dorado
for the century now dawning."
An" utterance like the above,
voiced only as the sentiment of a
country newspaper, might mean
anything, or nothing. Coming to
us as it does, however, as striking
the key note at one of the most re-
markable meetings for business
consultation ever held-that of the
Chicago Commercial Club at the
Auditorium on the night of the 18th
ult., it must mean something, pos
sibly everything. We incline to
the latter view; and therefore pro
coed to. emphasize what we had to
say on this subject a few weeks ago,
and before we had any such guaran-
tee as that of the Chicago meeting,
that larger minds than ours had
reached our humble conclusions.
Think of it! A country having
four hundred millions of inhabitants
-one-fourth of the whole population
of the globe-not savages by any
means, or of the :'silent, sullen
people, - of which Kipling speaks in
his great poem, but rather of those
whose civilization has been merely
retarded through the centuries by
the iron rule of usurping despots,
who wished it so. And this coun-
try about to be thrown open-nay,
practically thrown open already to
to the free ingress of whatever
further civilizing influences can act
upon it! Think of it, we say, but
confess, meanwhile, that our own
minds are lost in the befuddlement
of numbers, when trying to reckon
the largeness of possibilities which
this state of affairs presents for the
triumphs, whether missionary,
educational, or commercial, to be
won by the America of the twentieth
century. america" we say,
rather than England even, or any
other nation; partly because of our
easier'proximity to the land of these
opportunities, but more because of
our better information regarding it's
needs and benefits. But opportun-
tiles are one thing; the embrasure
of them, another. So we may safety
add, that in view of what the
worlds present opportunities are,
if America is to stand at the top OF
the nations at the close of the TWEEN
tieth century, it can do so only by
virtue of her having meanwhile
taken China into her captive keep
ing; not as territorial possession
indeed (for what true American
would not deprecate that) but
rather, in the sense of having taught
it's people to lean upon her, and tc
trust her, and to look to her, rather

DON'T DO IT. JAKE.

Jacobson of Lac qui Parle county
is about to introduce bill into the
house looking for the reduction of
freight rates on iron ore from the
mines on the Mesaba and Vermillion
ranges to Duluth from 80 to 40 cents
per ton. Aside from the fact that
the bill would create big expense
for the State in Legislative fight,
and afterwards, if it became a law,
another big expense in a fight be-
fore the railroad commission, it is
impossible for us to conceive where
such proposition can do a bit of
good for the people of Minnesota.
On the other hand it is likely to
injure them and benefit the Carne-
gle and other iron factories of the
East. It would hurry the trans
portation of all of our iron out of the
State, and hence would not be likely
to build up iron and steel factories
in Minnesota.
1t has been demonstrated by
steel makers throughout the United
States that they cannot use more
than about one third Mesaba ore in
their furnace mixtures, and the
other two-t thirds must come from
Michigan and Wisconsin and a
small proportion from the Vermil-
lion range. There is now a differ
ence of from As to Is cents per ton
in favor of the Wisconsin and Mich
igan ores of the same quality as the
Mesaba ore, and if Mr.. Jacobson
should carry through his PROPOSE
ton the Wisconsin and Michigan
mines would get differential of 40
cents per ton greater than they are
now getting against the Minnesota
ore.
Let us see what the State would
directly lose if the rate was cut in
two. The shipments of iron ore
from Minnesota this year will be
about 6, 600, 600 tons, and the aver
age price paid for transportation to
the lakes is 35 cents. This would
make Sc, 600, 900 for gross earnings
from ore carrying, and the three
per cent. gross earnings tax will
make $3.50, 900 paid the State in the
year. Cut this in two and there is
direct loss of 100000, and if Mr..
Jacobson s other proposition to in
crease the gross earnings tax from
three to four per cent. becomes a
law, the State s loss would be in
creased from $50, 900 toS12O, 900.
And who would be the sole bene-
fciaries? The Carnegie Steel Co.
will ship this year out Of Minnesota
ore on which the freight will be
81, 1000, OOO Other shipments will
make it 100000. Cut the freight
rates in two and Carnegie and his
fellow manufacturers will make
81, 500, Minnesota will get moth
ing.
There is no excuse for Mr.. Jacob
sons proposition, and if he intro
duces 1t, 1t should be Squelched at
once. We believe that if the
people of his district realized the
injury the bill would do they would
rise en- masse against it, and force
him to retire from the proposition.

JUDGE JOHN j. JACKSON.
His Picture and History Of His Life In
treat Demand.

OF course it sounds trite to say
that Judge John j. jackson is one
of the noted men of this country
AS everybody knows, he has been on
the bench for more than an ordinary
lifetime.
just at this time, on account OF
the celebration of the anniversary
of Judge Jackson's appointment to
the bench, his picture and history
are in great demand by the newspa-
pers. The Judge seems annoyed by
the notoriety he is getting, but there
is no use in trying to stop the pa
pers when they take a notion that
they will add to mans fame.
The New York World and Phila-
delphia Press are among the latest
prominent newspapers to have fine
pictures OF Judge jackson and
lengthy sketches of his career. The
Gillian Press Syndicate, of Phila-
delphia, seems determined to circu
late the portraits and sketches by
wholesale. The Saturday Blade, of
Utica, is another big newspaper that
is pieturing Judge jackson in glow
ing terms.
The Judge has been on the bench
thirty eight years and is seventy
five years OF age. The papers gen
orally have it that he has been a
United States Judge for thirty nine
years and that he is seventy-six
years of age.-Parkersburg journal.

A NEW SHORT LINE
To Run From Clarksburg to Waynes.

J. e. Fleming, Esq,
Morgantown, w. Va.

Warrington Cor Wheeling News.
A writer to the Wheeling Sunday
News has this to say about another
new railroad, but we don't know
whether he knows what he is talk
ing about:
A new short line railroad to CON
meet Clarksburg and Waynesburg
is arousing great interest in this
city. A few days since the compa-
ny, which proposes to build the
road held a meeting in the Hotel
Floyd, and while they gave out
nothing regarding their plans, it was
learned that they are really in earn
est and hoped to have the plans for
the proposed road ready in a short
time. 1t will be short route to
Pittsburg from Clarksbnrg, running
into this city and thence through
Campbell's oil field into Monongalia
county, ending at Waynesburg,
where it is proposed to connect it
with the CHARTERS line for Pitts
burg. The distance between Clarks-
burg and Pittsburg by the new
route would be LBS miles, and the
country through which it would
travel needs the railroad badly to
aid the rapid development of natural
resources now under way. 1t would
be great thing for the Warrington
industrial boom for them to get a
direct route to Pittsburg.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has justunearth-
ed another band of counterfeiters in a
suburb of New York City, and secured
large quantity of bogus SIS bills,
which are so cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus
pect them of being spurious. Things
of great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators
but no equals for common disorders
like fever, ague, malaria Indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness
and general debility. The Bitters SET
things right in the stomach, and when
the stomach is in good working order
it makes good blood and plenty of it.
In this manner the Bitters get at the
seat of strength and vitality, and re.
store vigor to the weak and debilita-
ted. Beware of counterfeits when
buying. Always go to reliable drug
gists who have the reputation of Civ.
ing what you ask for.

COAL MINING
Seriously Interfered with. by Strikes
and Emigration.
PARKERsBURG, W. Va, Sept. "a

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Sept. "a
J. w. Paul, chief mine inspector of
West Virginia was here this morning
on his way to the capital after visit
to the mines in the eastern part of
the state. He reports that in all sec
tions Of the State the mining indus
try is prospering and that the opera
lions are active every where except in
the New River region. where strike
is in progress. Mr.. Paul will visit
that section. He has no official
knowledge of the strike situation
there, but says that there are in Fay
cite county about 1850 miners. Tel
egrams state that about 5000 of that
number are out on strike SO that
the output of the New River field will
be very seriously interfered with un
til the end of the strike.
Mr.. Paul says that out of some
4, 900 miners employed along the Nor
folk & Western railway about 1920
have gone 20 western coal fields un-
der promise Of better wages, seriously
Gripping the output of that field for
time. But recently their places
have been filed by new men from
Virginia and elsewhere SO that the
condition of the coal business there is
normal.
Elsewhere in the state the coal
business is better than usual and the
output larger.
