WILL GIANTS PEOPLE THE
EARTH?

From out Of the store house Of
knowledge that has made the Univer-
sity of Chicago to be celebrated be-
yond all other seats of learning MAIN
tanned by the unholy rich, there comes
a report showing that the earth may
presently be peopled with giants-even
as it was in the good old days when
there We're no newspapers. DR.. Shin
kishi Haitai, of the faculty Of the uni
versity, makes the announcement that
he has discovered substance that will
cause an animal to grow so per cent
faster than If left to the ordinary
processes of nature. AS DR.. Haitai Is
known to be entirely independent of the
trammels of commercialism that handi-
cap the breakfast dope investigator, his
discovery is bound to attract much at
tention among those savants who have
been studying the food question from
the elevated point of view Of the Chi
cagoan who takes his nourishment
from a high counter while sitting on
an elevated stool.

food. 1t is soft, nasty to look at and

Serious Riot Grows Out of Contest
Over a Tammany Leadership.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-One man
may die and several others were seri-
ously injured as a result of the most
serious riot this city has experienced
in many years on the eve of primary
contest. The riot occurred at Fifth
avenue and One Hundred and Eight
zenith street. Many shots were fired,
and only when large force of police
reserves was rushed to the scene was
peace restored. For more than an
hour the street was filed with a howl
ing crowd of partisans of Isaac A.

amount of grain marketed will be very
much less than might have been ex-
pected from the advance reports based
on estimates and actual returns from
the thresher
The weatherly conditions have been
untoward for a couple of weeks and
very bad for week The bulk of the
crop is still in the shock and the
shocks have been threshed by rain
and wind and, in some-<localities COW
cred with snow. It is impossible that
the grain that has been so soaked and
buffeted could escape damage as to the
grade and loss in bulk. Northern Min
nesota and North Dakota have suffer-
ed most from the continuous rains and
high winds. Manitoba reports indi-
cate that practically all of the shocked
grain has been injured in grade and
it is likely that the same damage has
been done this side of the boundary.
High grade wheat will be scarce and
command a high price, but we may
still hope that the bulk of the crop
will not be materially lessened- in vol
ume. There is certainly some ground
for the alarm that is felt regarding
the unthreshed crop but we know from
the capacity of Northwest
ern weather to help out at the last
moment. When the thresher again
gets busy the present pessimistic tone
of the reports from(the wheat coun-
try will be changed. Let us not count
the losses yet, for what wheat there is
will certainly command a very high
price.

BEBEL DECLARES HE
is HONORABLE
German Leader Stirs Up the
Social Democratic Con.
gress Little.

DRESDEN, Saxony, Sept. 15.-The
feature of today's session of the Social
democratic congress was speech last
ing three hours by Herr Bebel on party
ethics. With splendid forensic ability
the speaker essayed to explain the road
along which the revisionist and intel
lectual section of the party was en-
deavor1ng to direct the Socialist move
ment. He declared that the masses
were consumed with volcanic indigna-
tlon at the conduct and writings of the
learned authors and Journalists who
Tor personal ends had placed them
selves at the head of the party and
that these writer's had entirely lost
touch with the proletariat
Dealing with the personal attacks
upon him, Herr Bebel reused the con-
gress to high pitch of enthusiasm by
revealing what he declared to be the
source of his power-his morality.
In fifty years, he said, he had COM
m1tted many blunders, but his most
bitter opponent had not succeeded in
placing a stain on his honor or insfn-
certify in his conduct. The Socialist
leader declared that the academicians
whose dishonorable articles had be-
trayed the principles of the cause were
a cancerous growth on the party and
That severe operation may be per-
formed. The academicians, he contin-
ued, must remember that the Social
Democratic party was not like the Ger
man arm y,commanded by generals;
its leaders were it's servants, not it's
masters.

to appoint a Social Democrat vice
president of the reichstag had disgust

COMMENDED FOR CANADA.
Attorney General FinIay Gives His
Idea as to Alaskan Boundary.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The first day
OF the oral argument in the Alaskan
boundary question was taken I'D by
Attorney General Finlay. who partial
ly presented the Canadian view of this
controversy. When the tribunal adj
Journed this afternoon until tomorrow
the Canadians were gratified at scoring
what they believed to be the first good
point.
The attorney general sought to es-
tablish the position of the Portland
channel and fix the entrance thereto.
He interpreted the "a la Hauteur de"
in the Russo British correspondence
leading to the signature of the treaty Of
1925, not as showing that the boundary
lies ION the same paralleP' and the
lower end of Prince of Wales island, as
claimed by the United States, but "off
Of" as asserted by Canada The effect
of this would be to fix the line at 81
degrees As minutes, as claimed by Can
ada. Chief Justice AIverstone agreed
with Attorney General Finlay
When American counsel have the
opportunity to speak they say they will
show that the Canadians themselves
have given various interpretations Of
the phrase and they are inclined to
minimize the Importance of Lord AL
VerStone'S statement.

SUBMARINE TORPEDO
BOAT DOES WELL
Adder Hands Good Stiff One to the
Torpedo Boat Craven.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. ia pretty
exhibition of mimic warfare, important
as illustrating the effectiveness of the
naVys submarine craft, was given to-
day off Brenton's reef lightship, when the
submarine torpedo boat Adder succeeded
in torpedoing the torpedo boat Craven
So stealthily did the Adder creep up on
the Craven that the wooden torpedo was
successfully fired and struck the Craven a
smart blow below the water line amid
ships before the crew on the floating war
ship could man the guns on the torpedo
tubes.
The sham fight today was a continual
ton of the test Of the submarine boat
and was success in every way as far as
the type was concerned. The Craven
left the torpedo station during the fore
noon noon, and, running down the. harbor,
awaiting the attack. The Adder, instead
of following Immediately, waited an hour

Joyed lunch without inconvenience On
getting outside the harbor the Adder was
once more sent to the surface, but only
her coming tower was exposed. The
Craven was sighted a short distance out
side the lightship, riding unconcernedly
on an easy swell. The Adder again
plunged and when within 300 yards OF

and size of, the regular projectile was
fired. The shot was a good one and the
torpedo struct the Craven amidship with
considerable force. sufficient to susceptibly
jar the boat. The crew of the Craven
was unable to reach the guns in time to
fire shot. The Adder then came to the
surface and after one or two more dives
the two boats returned to the torpedo sta
ton. Other experiments with the sub
marine boat will be continued later in the
week

WILL CHAMBERLAIN RESIGN?
Belief Is He Will If His Fiscal Pro-
posaIs Are Not Accented

poSaiS Are Not Accepted.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The st. James
Gazette says:
eff Mr.. Chamberlains proposals are
not accepted, he will resign his seat in
the cabinet"
According to the Daily Mail, efforts
are being made by his colleagues in the
cabinet to induce Mr.. Chamberlain to
abandon his extreme policy of taxation
of the peoples food, and the adjourn
ment of yesterdays council for further
consideration is proof that the colonial
secretary has not at once refused to
consider any retreat from his position"
However, the view of the situation
taken by the London press generally is
that Mr.. Chamberlain is leading a for
lorn hope, which he may consider 1t a
point of honor not to abandon, even
temporarily, till a better opportunity
offers.
The cabinet met at p. m, and the
sitting ended at 4:30.

Der of parliament for the Maiden divi-
sion of Essex, in declining to resign his
seat because his attitude on the educa-
ton question had been criticised by his
constituents, writes:

There will be a general election before
this time next year."

ing and has been neglected. The doc
tor has not. as yet, been able to get a
human being to stand for treatment
with his new method for building It's
sue. But he has been doing business
with rats. Emaciated rats fed on lece-
thin became as large as bulldogs in a
few weeks. Well nourished rats took

so large and strong that they are now
kept in lion cages and if they keep on
growing it will be necessary to kill
them.
The same effect would certainly re-
suit if the new food were introduced
into the system of a human being, so
says Ha1tai.
The fact that Haitai lives in Chi
cago and dates his discoveries from
the laboratory of John D. Rockefeller's
aggregation of hasheesh eaters re-
dence to this remarkable story. But
we may be forgiven for doubling. There
are wise men in Chicago who have
made experiments overnight with small
birds and cold bottles and got UP in the
morning entertaining pink elephants
in sun bonnots. There were other Chi
cagoans who saw rats as big as cows,
while Haitai was still under the heel
of the Mikado. But Haitai gives prom

The value of Haitai's discovery will

extent that he voluntarily extended his
leg in the direction of President Har-

AMONG THE NATIONS GREAT.

The action taken by the state his
torical society to honor the memory
of the late Alexander Ramsey by plac-
ing statue of him in statuary hall OF
the national capitol is one that will
commend itself not only to the citi-
zens of st. Paul amongst whom ex-
Gov Ramsey lived and died. but to the
citizens of Minnesota generally. Every
state in the Union has its quota of
great men and Minnesota has been
unusually blessed in this respect, but
none can deny that the name of Alex
ander Ramsey has been indissoiubly
linked with all that has been glorious
in the history of the state.
When statuary hall has received
from each state it's contribution OF
statues it cannot fail to serve as a re-
markable object lesson, for it will re-
veal to citizens of the United States
and to foreigners also what qualities
the nation at large considers most
worthy of admiration and of honor.
America is not nation of hero wor-
shippers. The Yankee may be caught
for a while by brilliant surface quail
ties, but he is altogether too intelli-
gent to be kept held for long under
the spell of these alone. Glitter does
not blind his eyes to the fact that it is
merely glitter. He is quick to recog-
nize the pure gold Of honorable and
helpful citizenship, and this he de-
lights to honor.
Brilliant men may aid Minnesota IN
the future, but it is to the men of plo-
neer days that she will always owe
the most. Indeed, it is to these men
of pioneer days that all states must
owe their largest debt. for 1t is the
foundations that count most. A1exan-
der Ramsey represented the well
rounded citizen. He occupied positions
Of trust, positions that showed not
only the confidence of the people of his
adopted state, but the confidence OF
the head Of the nation as we'll, and he
also set an excellent example to other
citizens in private life by filling capa-
bly, his duties when advancing age
forced him into retirement.
Minnesota has still another citizen
to select for special honor, and an en-
barrassment of riches which confronts
her will doubtless confuse her some
what But If her second choice is as
worthy as her first there will be no
fault found. The state has no greater
gift to offer the men she would honor
than this space for their statues in
statuary hall. 1t is her crown of lau-
rels. That more than two are deserv-
ing of such crowns, nobody doubts.
But the nation has set the limitation
and it is the duty of the state to select
those most worthy of honor. When
she has done this her task is COM
plete.

Cotton Crop Reports.

1t is very unfortunate and confusing
that every time the agricultural de-
partment gives out report on the
condition and prospects of staple
crop-cotton or wheat, for example
private experts may be heard denying
the correctness Of the government esti-
mates. But the experiences of the
past certainly do give a considerable
degree of FEASIBILITY to the denials.

THE WEATHER.

The most long suffering must admit
that Mr.. Jupiter Pluvius or whoever it
was that invented the weather is bit
off in his reckoning. The arrival of the
melancholy days two months ahead of
schedule time is disconcerting, to ex-
press it mildly. In November one natu-
rally expects "waiIing winds and naked
woods and meadows brown and sere."
Many, indeed, derive mournful salts
faction from their contemplation. But
from September one expects better
things, more comfortable things.
Long ago the summer girl was
forced from her summer retreat. She
re-entered the city most bedraggled
looking creature, her hair out of curl,
her pretty little nose blue, and her tenn
per ruff1ed. She is finishing. her season
before the crate fire.
Erratic as Mr.. Jupiter Pluvius is, no
body thinks that he is going to cheat
the Northwest out of its Indian sum-
mer. But the most beautiful Indian
summer will hardly compensate for this
wild interlude which combines the
recklessness of March with the chill of
habitant will not admit that it is the
worst ever. But his refusal does not
make the cold and dreary days any
more endurable. 1t profiteth man lit
tie to know that ninety-nine years ago
Jupiter Pluvius went off on another
tangent and cut even a wider swath,
when today that mans nose is blue
and the wind is whistIing through his
hair.
AS a subject for conversation the
weather has been for some time now
tabooed. But recent developments have
forced it into prominence. To the man
who sits on his doorstep and watches
his crop shrink visibly in the cold and
drenching rain and to the economical
young person who has hoped that the
day for summer f1nery was not over,
the weather question has been of pre-
eminent Importance. And not for many
moons has that subject embraced so
wide range. Today it begins with a
joke and ends with a tragedy. So in
spite of the fact that polite society in
sists that the weather, like politics and
religion, be ignored, just now it con-
Germs too many people, affects too
many interests to be put aside.
If Mr.. Jupiter Pluvius has been car
rying out a little joke, it is time for
some one to remind him that he has
gone too far. Let him behave himself,
settle down to business and the people
of the Northwest will forgive him this
offense. Now is the time for him to
send on his Indian summer A month or
so of the golden days that make up
such summer will take the chill out of
the peoples bones, will free them from
the blues" and will impress upon them
the fact that there is much in life to
make it worth the living. And provided
he sends such a summer they will be
willing to burn sticks to the great
weather joss and to forget entirely that
he has ever maltreated them.

1t requires a great deal of money to
