Arthur Cotton. whose ''Tioba, and Other Tales

present to writing. He was born at Washing

editor of THE Lit" While there he held the

must choose whether it will cater to
the twenty thousand or the hundred
thousand and the million. There Is
no hope for the beginner in journal
ism, General Taylor thinks, unless he
will devote himself to the interests of
what may be called the middle and the
lower classes. They are advancing,
progressing, and he who is with them
will advance and progress. At the
top there is no room for progress and
the field is small.
This defense of the popular news
paper IS, by the way, full of promise
for the future of democratic institu-
tons. 1t shows why, Notwithstanding
the large capital required to publish a
successful modern daily newspaper
the interests of the greatest newspa-
pers must always be closely allied with
the interests of the masses.

FAST COURT WORK

A Case a Minute In the Police Court
To-day.
Probably the shortest session of the
police court in twenty-five years was held
this morning. The entire session lasted
only seventeen minutes, in which time the
court disposed of seventeen cases.
William Campbell was to have had a
preliminary hearing this morning on the
charge of grand larceny, but he was in
dicted by the grand jury yesterday and
his case was dismissed in the lower court
Campbell is alleged to have stolen a valu-
able gold watch from Nelson j. Lloyd
at 205 Nicollet avenue.
Mart Kaylor. charged with uttering false
checks, and c. S.. Sears, charged with
checking on a bank without funds, were
also dismissed because their cases were
disposed of by the grand jury.
A similar disposal was made of the case
of Ernest Whitney, who was charged with
grand larceny. It is claimed that Whit
ney took 50 from Alex. Mesologitis at the
point of a gun while the complainant was
working in his shop near Second avenue
S and Sixth street.
Frank Knepper, a saloon-keeper at 900
Nineteenth avenue S, changed his plea to
guilty on a charge ofe assault and bat
i terry. Knepper had some words with

The Farmer as Exporter.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
his annual report presents some fig
ures that show in a striking manner
how important the foreign trade is to
the American farmer.
The farmer last year sold abroad
s317000,000 worth of cotton, $204,-
100000 worth of grain, $4,000, 900
worth Of meat and about 500, 900, 900
worth of other products, making a
total expectation of farm products
amounting to $S7s,0O0, 900.
The farmer has a, greater. interest
In the export trade than the manu-
facturer, for he not only sends abroad
much more of his goods than the
manufacturer does of his, but the ratio
of exports of agricultural products to
the whole production is much larger
than that Of exported manufactures
to the whole manufactured output. In
other words, theAfarmer has a much
larger stake in the export trade than
the manufacturer.
For this reason the thinking farm
ers will eventually be found in favor
of forms of reciprocity that are likely
to hold or widen foreign markets.

WILL STAND BY DoWIE
Minneapolis zionists Believe Leader win
Overcome Difficulties.

Rev F. A. Graves, elder of the Christian
Catholic church in Zion in Minneapolis be-
lieves that It is only a question OF a snort
time before the difficulties of John Dowie
will be overcome Followers all over the
country will come to his aid and if neces-
sary the Zion property can be sold for sew
eral times the amount put into the enter
prise.
The elder believes that the enemies or
Zion took concerted action in the absence
of Dowie in New York and at a time When
the expenses were heavy owing to the in
vasion of New York by a large band OF
zionites He says that if he had another
dollar to spare he would invest 1t IN the
lace works at Zion. One woman who came
in Monday said that she would send down
5000, all she could spare Inc Mlnrea l.-
oils contingent has not expressed a single
note of dissatisfaction.

UNCLE SANS TYPEwRlTERs
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

From 8 o'clock in the morning until close
to 6 in the evening there are 5000 type
writers grinding out letters for the United
States government. During these hours
there are, Of course, 5000 typewriter girls
busily hammering the machines.
Uncle Sam is the largest employer of
typists in the country and should be the
patron saint Of the typewriter girl. The
amount of manuscript his workers turn
out would make even Clyde Fitch look
dizzy.
Uncle Sam is the incest kind Of man
for typewriter girls to work for. He pays
large salaries and he supplies his workers
with everything they want. If a girl ex-
presses a preference for certain kind of
machine she gets it.

A Boston Globe Anniversary.

General Charles H. Taylor has been
manager of the Boston Globe for
thirty years, and the Globe, in recog-
milton of the anniversary, has been
spreading itself little. Instead of
publishing one very large number it
chose to extend it's jubilee publication
over a week, carrying some twenty
four additional pages each day. The
jubilee pages are devoted to exhaus-
tive reviews Of the progress Of New
England and Boston, almost all of the
articles being contributions by we'll
known men Of New England. The
subjects of these various articles show
much careful thought and planning
in getting out the anniversary num-
bers. They are very interesting, even
to readers outside the Boston sphere
of influence, and cannot fail to be of
great benefit to the old city and New
England by reminding Americans
everywhere that the far east still
grows and expands, still has abundant
energy and vitality, for all it has sent
So much good blood to build the west.
One of the most interesting articles
in the jubilee number of the Globe is
i General Taylor's review of his man
agership of the Globe, wherein he
modestly mentions the features the
Globe has introduced into American
journalism and defends the general
policy of the paper. He says that in
such metropolitan center as Boston
there are 10000 rich, contented and
conservative citizens, 100000 who are
well-to-do but not contented,s still
struggling upwards and EDWARDS, and

ASKED WHERE SALOON WAS
Charles johnson Wanted One Handy to the
Poor Farm.

Poor Farm.
Old Charley Johnson was sent to the
poor farm. If he were sixty or seventy
years younger he would be sent to the
reform school, for he is the most incor-
rigible of the poor department pensioners.
Apparently his only object in life is to
drink whisky and he relies implicitly on
the ability of the poor department to care
for him.
Whenever we give him a load of wood
or an order for groceries, he sells the wood
and the groceries at greatly reduced rates
and spends the money for whisky" ex-
He is old and helpless and we are bound
to take care of him, and 50 Johnson will
go to the poor farm. He is willing to go,
but the first inquiry he made was as to
the distance to the nearest saloon.

from the award of the commission in
the opening of a street from Riverside

The Rhodes Scholarship.

The program for the Rhodes schol-
arship examinations, which are to be. .
held for Minnesota during the Easter
vacation Of the university, is inter
esting. There Is to be a formal ex-
(amination in certain subjects, but its
purpose is merely to ascertain whether
candidates are able to comply with
the entrance requirements at Oxford.
Three points will be allowed for lit
erary and scholastic attachments, two
for fondness for and success in manly
sports, three for general manliness
and character and two for actual and
probable influence on fellow students.
The candidate whose total score, SO
to speak, most nearly approaches the
possible ten will be chosen.
It will be noticed that only three
of the ten points are assigned to schol-
arship, making it impossible for the
mere bookworm or drudge to have
any chance of winning the prize. On
the other hand, the student who is
far from perfect in scholarship may
easily secure the prize if he be a
and a leader Of his fellows. AS the
student who is devoted to sports is
more likely to have a, manly character,
and is also more likely to be a leader
than the scholar pure and simple, it
is a certainty that no hollow-chested

What contrast between this sort
of selection and the ordinary univer-

little justification for our colleges and
universities unless they shall do their
best to give the state strong men, the
examinations are entirely on the basis
of records in examinations which at
the best are only fair tests of one side
of "a human being. There is some in
formal modification of this custom
thru the practice Of many professors
of making allowances for football
men and other athletes who have to
devote so much Of their time to phys
ical exercise that it can hardly be ex-
