We cannot doubt the migrations
of today. Even the Chinese have
been slowly but surely awakened
from their slumber, by the action
of the worlds powers. While
China has just begun to open her
eyes, though unwillingly, Japan
that old and passive empire, is
coming fast to the front.
But hold! We need not go so
far to observe migrations.
Since the railroads, perhaps the
greatest agency of migration, have
SO netted our land we hardly notice
migrations even where they are the
most marked. The migrations Of
man have in aspect SO entirely
changed that we scarcely think oil
them as such.
Yet after tracing all these move
ments of mankind, and after being
convinced that they still continue
we have a question above all Others
"Will migrations ever cease?" Tc
this l would say yes and no. Yes,
they will cease when man ha:
reached the ideal in civilization
No, until that time they will not
When migrations have accom-
plished their natural result, the
blending of every race upon thi'
earth, then they will cease. Their

institutions.
Then the government will meaS
the religion and the religion will
mean the government, for thel

Graduating Address by Miss Myrtle Olmstead

Graduating Address by Miss Myrtle Olmstead.
According to the definition of
"Minstrelsy," it is the art and &C"
cupation of Ministries. The word
minstrel" is perhaps derivatiye
of "menear." meaning to move,
stir, wag, WELD. If SO the word
originally signifed a performer ON
a musical instrument, who accom-
panied his performances with ges"
lures.
This was also a name given to
an order of men. in the middle ages,
who subsisted by the arts of poetry
and music, and sang to the harp
verses composed by themselves or
others.
Their attendance was sought and
their performances lavishly reward
ed by princes. 1t was in the char
acter of minstrel that King Alfred
entered the camp of the Danes, his
enemies, and explored their situa-
ton. Also from the derivation of
the word we find it means a harpist
or minister.
The harpist stood ia the same re-
lation to the prince for whom he
played and sang, as the minister of
today stands with relation to his
audience.

NO CHANGES BY Plus X
HIS HOLINESS MASTERING THE
MECHANISM OF THE VATICAN.
Will Not Appoint n New Papal Secre-
tary Until He Thoroughly Learns
the Details of His Office.

ROME, Sept. with reference to the
report that Cardinal Moran, of Sidney, N.
S. W., has been offered the post of papal
secretary of state, it can be said that Plus
X has taken no decision regarding the APP
pointment of a state secretary.
A cardinal who is on the best of terms
with the Pontiff, having been one of his
warmest electors. said to-day: 1.-The Holy
Father desires TO become a master of the
whole mechanism of the Vatican before APP
pointing a secretary Of state. All officials
employed by Pope Leo have been retained,
as none better than they could help the new
Pontiff in carrying out his purpose. The
new secretary of state will gradually re-
place them. But their removal will not be
a punishment; on the contrary, they will be
rewarded for their services by promotion.
The new secretary of state will choose
men entirely trusted by him, and
who will be capable of colaboring with
him In the new directions in the new
Vatican policy. The secretary, however, is
almost sure to be an Italian, as that has
been the tradition for centuries. Cardinal
Moran, Notwithstanding his undoubted abil-
ity, with liberal turn of mind and his exact
acquaintance with modern problems, has no
more chance than any other foreigner. This
is why Monsignor Merry Del Val, who has
often been spoken OF for the position, is
unlikely to be chosen, he being a Spaniard.
Besides. his appointment, even If made
after he had been appointed a cardinal.
might be considered as an offense to the
Sacred College, as ii would imply that
among its present members there is none
worthy TO occupy the position"

islands, and Monsignor Hendrick, the
bishops brother, left this morning for

stacle TO contend with in the matter Of re-
production. A pair OF quails once mated are,
strangely enough. united for life. Neither
the male nor the female will desert its mate
for another. and the loss of one out OF a
pair is equivalent TO the loss of both. Even
after the death ~ one the other is not fit for
reproduction purposes. If the hen quail is
mate her eggs are barren and are never
known TO prove fertile NEder any condl-
tions. This peculiar law of nature is a seri-
Gus drawback, as il is necessary To keep
the males and females in equal numbers,
but otherwise quail breeding has many adj
vantages over poultry.
Gordon does not expect TO market any or
his quails for food purposes for several
years, and his present design is only TO Sc
cure a good supply for breeding purposes.
Even If he so desired. he could not market
them in Missouri at present without violat-
ing the recently enacted game law, which
will, for several years, prohibit the killing,
selling or buying of quails. owing TO the
scarcity of the supply in this State.
The business he is now conducting may,
in time, prove a solution of this very prob
lem as to the future supply of birds for
sporting purposes. If they can be raised as
easily as chickens, sportsmen need have no
fear for the future of their sport, as II
would do away with all possibility OF the
birds becoming extinct.
The average quail hen lays about sixteen
eggs per year, the setting season lasting
three months, usually from the first of
April to the last week in June.
AS there is q good demand for live birds
at "a per pair, the possible profits of the
business are quite obvious. There seems no
reason why the breeding of quails should
not become as important an industry as the
raising of poultry.

INDIANA IN THE HOUSE.
Growing Importance of Mr.. Hemen-

washington POST.
Representative James A. Hemenway. of
Indiana, is to be not only chairman of the
big committee on appropriations, but the
actual floor leader of the majority in the
next House. That is the word brought to
Washington from an authoritative source.
Mr.. Hemenway's career in that important
place will depend upon his ability to main
tain. himself, and TO make good in stormy
debate when Democratic opponents hurl
themselves against the administration
party. Mr.. Cannon is confident that the
Hoosier will give a good account of him
self.
Thus far Mr.. Hemenway has had no ex-
debater or the floor. a part which Mr.. Cam
non himself has been able to take with
much eclat on occasion for several years.
But he is always able to make a clear, con-
else and unpretentious statement Of the
business in hand, and, after all. that counts

ing both parties. which is another factor i'm

The Craftsmanship of ways and means,

in doubt, although in certain quarters con-
trary statements have occasionally been
