A WARM WELCOME

The announcement that Prince Henry Of
a sort of ambassador extraordinary in the
cause Of International good will has been
received in this country with great cor
diality. The popularity Of the visit
should demonstrate to the German people
that if they are DESTROYS of cultivating
amicable relations with the American
people they will not have to come more
than half way. This country is too demo-
cratic to indulge in much fuss and
feathers over the visit of Prince Henry
because he is prince. There are mil
lions Of people in the United States who
would take no<more account of him on
that score than they would of German
commercial traveller. But it is very plain
that he comes as an envoy Of good Will
from the German nation. In that capa-
city he will be Hospitality welcomed ana
gladly made much Of.
The occasion is good one to remind
those people who like to use the word
AngloSaX in about every otner
sentence, when discussing our interna-
tional relations, that there are stronger
blood ties between the existing generation
Of Americans and that of Germany than
between the former and the present
generation of Englishmen. The census OF
1900 showed that there are In the United
States 100000 people Of German BIRTH
as against 100000 English and Scotch.
There are 100000 Irish, but the Irish
relationship is one that makes for es-
trangement between the United States and
Great Britain and can not, therefore, be
properly considered in this connection.
But even including the Irish, there are
as MANY Germans in the United States to-
day as there are persons native to the
British islands. ..
Thus 1t is obvious that, counting the
first generation born in America OF Ger
man parents, there are millions and mil
lions of loyal American citizens who nave
a sentimental tenderness for the Father
land. Remembering this fact and the very
evident intention Of the German emperor
to cultivate us, and not forgetting that
the great mass of our people desire cor
dial relations with all nations, we nave
the ingredients Of very enthusiastic
German American decentralization when

A SOUTH DAKOTA VIEW
Sioux Falls Argus Leader.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader.
If it is true, as reported, that the Northern
Securities company proposes to attempt to
manipulate the republican convention of Min
nesota and defeat Governor Van SAINT for re-
election, there will be popular upheayel in
the north star state such as has not been
witnessed for many day. There seems to
be little question that President Hill controls
the politics of North Dakota. But the gov
sernor of Minnesota has refused to be called
off, and the people of his state are behind
him. Sentiment in Minnesota is overwhelm-
singly against the proposed deal. Governor
Van SAINT would be reelected to-day almost
without opposition. 1t hardly seems prob
able that Hill and his railroad conferees
would be so audacious as to attempt, in face
of this sentiment, to defeat the governor for
the denomination. They cannot win. If the
people Of Minnesota understand that the rail-
roads are attempting to punish Governor Van
SAINT for his defiance of the Hill interests,
they will rally to him and it will be utterly
impossible for him to be defeated. The power
Of a great railroad corporation is consider
able; but the roads have learned in many
fights that when the people are once aroused,
no manipulation and no amount of money
and passes will prevail against them.

FARMING IN THE RURAL SCHOOLS

Superintendent of Public Instruction J.
w. Olsen is to be commended for his
suggestions as to the Introduction of in
struction in agriculture in the rural
schools He should be encouraged to go
ahead energetically and resolutely in the
realization Of the suggestions Superin-
tendent Olsen has no intention Of con-
verting the public schools into mere farm
schools, but there is splendid opening for
the introduction into the rural schools Of
something corresponding to the manual
training of the city schools. A little scien-
tifc instruction in agriculture will instill
into the forming mind Of the boy re-
spect and attachment for the great basic
industry of civilization that he may never
get in any other way. ...
Such instruction will give him view
! point of farm life that he may never have
had, especially if his parents are not Of
the progressive type. He will understand
that there is as much opportunity for the
use of brains, education and skill in
farming as in any of the careers that
draw so many boys away from the farm.
He will see how it is possible to make
farm life something else than a mere
round of dull plodding. .f.n ..
There can be no doubt that there is
too great a tendency for population to
flow from the country to the city. TO be
sure the city must always be fed from the
country, but the latter as we'll as the
| former has need and opportunities for the
progressive man. Too many progressive,
energetic young men leave the country.
Sometimes they fail in the city while they
would have succeeded admirably on the
farm. Farm life, where the farmer runs
| the farm, instead of letting the farm run
him, can match, point for point, every adj
vantage that the city has over the coun-
| try.
So for two general reasons che idea OF
giving elementary instruction in agricul-
ture in the rural schools is a good one.
First-It will tend to make better farm
ers of the boys who receive it.. Second-It
will tend to make them think better OF
farming and consequently tend to keeI
them in the country -
| AS was shown in an article published ir
instruction is given very generally in tho
state schools Of Europe-ins Sweden and
Norway, in Germany, Austria and France
The latter country has made the most
Roadway in such instruction. There the
idea is what it should be here-not te
graduate farmers from the elementary
schools, but to inculcate general ideas ant
reinforce them with some practical in
struction in farming. Thus the boy will
be equipped with some valuable ideas i
he goes from the elementary school to tn
4 farm. If his education is to be extended
ne will have a good foundation for a cours
in an agricultural school.
/ Minnesota is essentially an agriculture
| state. It will become rather more SO il
the future thar less. The interests o
agriculture must always be kept befor
our people Any plan to advance its in
l terests and those OF the people who fol
low it is deserving of the most careful
consideration.

WHO DID IT?

One Of the most amusing episodes Of
current history is the frantic rush OF the
several great powers of Europe to get on
the American band wagon. AT the pres
ent moment they are eagerly, not to say
acrimoniously, discussing the question OF
who advocated intervention between the
United States and Spain.
A short time ago France sent out a
story to the effect that the original inter-
vention proposition came FROM England,
but that Franco would have none of it. In
the British house of commons on Monday
Lord Cranbnrne undertook to prove that
Great Britain was the only, genuine, take
no-other, blown in the bottle friend Of the
United States during the controversy with
Spain.
When the news was carried 70 Germany
there was derisive laughter in the foreign
Office at Berlin. 1t was plainly a trick
to spoil the sood effect Of the forthcom-
ing visit Of Prince Henry to the, United
States. England it was implied, was
jealous Of the German American flirting
and was trying to make trouble. There
upon the German foreign Office emphati-
cally declared that it never favored in
tervention though approached by another
power-not Austria-to that end. From
Vienna comes the news thai after the
fireworks began Austria kept her fingers
out of the way Of the burning Russia,
too we believe, sometime since declared
that she never favored intervention.
England, France, Germany, Russia and
Austria deny that they favored interven-
ton, but Germany asserts that some ma
ton did Evidently somebody is lying.
Perhaps they all are. Perhaps they think
that if lying is ever to be justified it Is
when to tell the truth would be to admit
past hostility to the United States. =
