Washington. March During the entire session of the scni.t" today th,. bill providing for the protection Of IE,- president of thesU- -nitcd states N.;.S un- der consideration. AIr. Suuoner of Wis consin contended that the government had absolute and inhercnt right to pro tcCt itself against assaults made either upon itself or upon any ot it's officers. He maintained that an assault on th,. president was m the very nature of things an assault On tne nation. for there never was a time when d preSi- dent was not in the exercise of the duties of his office His argument was largely legal and constitutional and throughout was forceful and entertain ing and instructive.
 Mir. Hoar. in charge of the measure, clucidated some arguments made pre- ViOusIy and MesSrs. Teller of Colorado and Bailey of Texas spoke briefly upon the bill. The Texas senator said he could not support the measure as Il stands because he could conceive of an assault made upon the president as q person and not as an official Of the government. The assaiIant. in that event. ought to be punished precisely as if he had assaulted any other citi zen.
 Mir. Teller of Colorado said tha, while he had no objection to legisla- ton of the kind. he Gii not recognize any crying need for it. However. public sentiment seemed to demand il. and he wanted as nearly a perfect bill as possible. No legislation would pro- tect absolutely the president. because if any man of determined spirit made up his mind to kill the president he would accomplish his purpose.
 Senator Proctor introduced q bill con- tinuing in force the present law for the exclusion of the Chinese until the ec1- piratiOn of the existing treaty with China or until q new treaty snail b. negotiated.

Chief Justice Edward Kent arrived in ing accompanied by NIr. F. J. Dun levy. who will act as his clerk of the district court for this county. Judge Kent called on Chief Justice Street and Associate Justices Doan. Davis and Sloan in chambers in the morning and also met many members of the bar. In the afternoon the new chief justice and MT. DUHi2Vy visited the governor at the executive chamber.
 Judge Kent is pleasantly surprised by what hc has seen of Phbcn:x. He knew cf sami-tropicstl delights but he hardly realized beauties of the palms and ,erGurc.

 It may also be said that the people arc f.tvarably impressed with Judge Kent. His manner is engaging and his personality is pleasing. He is just i0 years of age. though he looks younger. He is tall and though slender, he k far from angular.

of to the outside party. This postscript
is the saving clause of the bylaws and
of the association. The syndicate can
not undersell it or drive it out of bust
ness, because if the syndicate offers
higher prices the farmers sell to the
syndicate, but they go first to their
own elevator, have their wheat
weighed, and when they have received
the money from the syndicate they re-
turn and pay into their own elevator
company the rebate of one cent a
bushel.
1t has been the policy of this Solomon
model to make friends of the railroads.
The managers of the farmers elevators
do business according to the instruc-
tion they have received from all cor
pOrations. When cars are denied on
one road, they shipped over another,
until there We're plenty of cars offered
them by the agents of the first.
With an investment of only $500,
Mr.. Matson says, the farmers asso-
citation at Solomon handled 132, 900
bushels of wheat during the first ten
weeks it was in business, on which it
made a profit of from one to three
cents a bushel. An average profit of
one cent a bushel would give the as
sOciation 81, 800 profit or over fifty per
cent of the investment in ten weeks.
If the state association of grain
growers proves successful the farmers
can meet the grain trust on equal
grounds and both associations, the
buying and the selling association, can
do business without prejudice or CO.
ercion. If the farmers can hang to-
gether and perfect their organization
it is the most powerful trust yet ef-
fected. Its units are men and they
raise their product. If it cohere, the
steel trust is an insignificant compari-
son. The Kansas model will be copied
by the farmers in Nebraska, Iowa,
Missouri and all over the country.

OBSERVATIONS
BY SARAH B. HARRIS

can invasion will make more work, and
to Cinnamon work is food and there
is not enough to go around. Hunger
drives them to the traditionally hos
pitable American coast and We drive
them back because they are so hungry
they will work for just enough food
to keep them from starvation and the
foreigners who have been here a year
or two longer have grown accustomed
to a higher standard of living and OBJ
ject to its being lowered to an oriental
standard which is just one degree
above starvation. The workmen can
not be blamed for wanting to have the
Chinese kept out, but with the pro-
gress of our own civilization, which is
nothing to boast of now and the rails
ing of the standard of living in China
consequent upon an era of intra- urban
and overland railroad building it is
likely that the Chinese, too, will con-
slider pianos, kid gloves and dress suits
among the necessities. When this pc
riod arrives the American workman
just arrived from Ireland will consent
to let foreigners from China into the
country.

Writing, Spelling, Arithmetic

The Courier has frequently asserted
that the public school system in this
country is deficient because although
it teaches the pupils a little chemis-
try, a little botany, a little of all the
sciences and endeavors to give them a
taste of literature and history, high
school graduates finally emerge after
going to school for a matter of twelve
years without having acquired the
knowledge that is primarily necessary
to make them of use in business. The
graduates from the high schools of
the state are in the university, and an
examination of the papers composed
and written by them will convince the
most lenient and the most patriotic
that the grade school teaches many
things but it has not taught English
spelling, composition, legibile hand
writing, and arithmetic.
Mr.. David r. Forgan, president Of
the First National bank of Chicago,
recently addressed the graduating
class of Lake Forest university. He
asked them what We're the educational
qualifications which they would find
most useful, and answered the ques-
ton himself from the vantage point of
a successful and distinguished career.
% ITO be able to write a good, legi-
BILE hand, to make good figures and to
place them correctly-the units below
the units, the tens below the tens, and
so on. CD To be able to add. sub
tract, and multiply rapidly and ac-
curately. 60 To be able to express
yourself clearly, briefly and grammati-
cally in a letter and to spell the words
correctly.
Very simple accomplishments, you
say, Yes, and very rare. 1 have taken
many young men into business in this
country and 1 can scarcely recall one
who had these accomplishments
Twelve years schooling and still un-
able to spell the words of his native
tongue, or to write clearly and legi-
bly,, or to place a column of figures in
plumb, perpendicular lines and then to
add them rapidly and accurately! Yet
this is the state of unpreparedness to
meet the demands of employers and
the necessities of business in which
the high school graduate leaves school.
The exceptions are so rare that it is
not worth while to mention them. 1t
is essential that the boy who must
earn his living should know these

Sef-Interest

Reform must accomplish its object
along the route of least resistance.
Legislation is the last resort rather
than the first. The farmers of Kansas
have kept in mind the truth that two
can play at the same game. If the
man that starts the game could retain
a monopoly of it for any length of
time his fortune would be made. The
first trust that was organized was
startling and after a dozen had been
organized there was something like a
panic, not financial but political Men
were afraid their constitutional liber-
ties and the pursuit of happiness We're
about to be denied them. They quoted
the Declaration of Independence de-
liriously and the stump speakers
threatened the downfall of the repub-
lie.
The farmers living near the town of
Solomon, Kansas, organized the busi-
ness of selling grain. One man on an
average is as smart as another, and if
grain men can combine and keep the
articles of agreement, so can farmers.
Mr.. c. H. Matson in the Review of
Reviews tells how the farmers of this
wheat belt, beginning with Solomon
agriculturalists, organized a grain
sellers trust to counteract or disarm
the grain-buyers' trust organized by
a syndicate which speculates in grain.
One-fou of the area of Kansas is
devoted to wheat. The region especial
ly favorable to wheat culture is an
elliptical area in the center of the state
beginning about twenty miles south of
Nebraska and extending south into
Oklahoma. 1t includes twenty-seven
counties and produces about seventy
million bushels of wheat per annum
The farmers possess this wheat first
1t is an enormous energy and they are
just beginning to realize their advan-
tage over the middlemen who must
buy of them.
The wheat market at Solomon in 1900
was controlled by three syndicates
which paid fourteen cents less than
the Kansas City price. The normal
price was ten cents below. One of the
most successful wheat farmers of Kan
sas, in collusion with his neighbors, or
ganized a farmers cooperative ship
ping association. The shares were $3.50
apiece. No member could hold more
than sixteen shares and the majority
of the stockholders held only one. y
member has only one vote no matter
how many shares of stock he holds.
According to the bylaws of the asso-
citation every member must sell his
wheat to the association, but a provis-
ion is inserted allowing him to sell it
to an outside party providing he pays
into the association a rebate of one
cent bushel on each bushet disposed

Use of Patronymics

Mrs. Mckinney has prevented the
naming OF "A hotel i'm Canton after
President Mckinley. 1t has been sug-
gested that We need a law in this
country to protect the names Of cele-
brated people from desecration. The
owner of the hotel doubtless had no
such thought. Unless a man is con-
Quoting some business that he is
ashamed of, he considers il an honor
10 the patron he names IL for. The
saints were honored, or fathers
thought they We're, when they called
their sons by saints names. The ci-
gars, teas, towns and hotels Were
named for presidents, not i'm despite,
but in honor of the men to whose pro-
moters they We're patron saints. And
after all the common uses of life are
not derogatory. The Mckinley hotel
should be a comfortable hostelry. If
il were all that a hotel can be the
name would not be dishonored or mis-
appropriated. In England there are
numerous Victoria inns and Shaks-
not mind. As the hosts to the brother
of an emperor we are likely to have
our heads turned. They are none too
strong, and the favor of royalty has
made an aristocrat of every mayor
whose city Prince Henry will visit on
his short tour of this country.
Dignity is inherent in the man. The
labors and accomplishments, the char
acter of Mckinley and the affection
of the people for him will suffer no
diminution because of hotel keepers
who christen the building in which
travellers are warmed, fed and lodged
the Mckinley" 1t would be painful
should some cigar manufacturer at
tach McKinley's name to a cigar and
advertise it with his picture, but to
call the hotel in his native town by his
name is different. Many travellers
will go TO Canton to see McKinley's
home and grave, and to talk with
neighbors and friends of the man who
has made Canton famous. To see the
name of the man for whose sake they
have made a pilgrimage on the hotel
which welcomes them would not be
painful. There is a very short step
between some Americans and snob-
berry. A sudden access of dignity and
importance attained by people who
have made their fortunes by selling
calico, or wheat, or coal, or beer is un-
becoming and induces their neighbors
TO say spiteful things. We are the
sons and daughters and grand-sons
ana grand-daughters of men and wo-
men who worked with their hands,
who rose before the sun, who labored
earnestly that their children might go
to school and enjoy larger opportuni-
ties. 1t is just as well not to ignore
the fact that we are made of dust and
to dust we shall return; just a little
handful that blows about the street
and that hoteI-keepers and draymen
and all the toilers of the city step on
brush from their clothes and regard
with dIsapproval. Selah.

Chinese Exclusion


New Workers are preparing to build
a trolley road in Shanghai, China.
This country is laced with railroads
and the great railroad building epoch
is past. China is almost virgin soil.
The Chinese are not educated to trav-

driven them to emigrate. 1t is almost
certain that congress will pass another
exclusion bill But if the Chinese are
not allowed to come to America, Amer
ica viii go to the Chinese. The coolies
will go to work laying ties in China
for an American company as they laid
ties in California for the trans-conti-
mental companies. The new trolley
road will be twenty-three miles long.
