London, Oct. Awhile there is no
evidence of rush on the part of the
exponents of public opinion or of the
electorate to give Joseph Chamber
lain 81: fiscal proposal immediate in
dorsement, there is ample proof Of a
desire exhaustively to examine his pro-
gram and accept or reject it on it's
merits, rather than on party lines.
i It is realized that the attitude of the
colonies is probably the most import
ant factor in his scheme. and What
they will say to his statement that they
are prepared to- contribute towards
imperial preferential trade, will large
ly determine. the ultimate. decision of
this country. = -. .aiez
The. critics of the former secretary
for the colonies claim that his whole
diagnosis of the present state Of the
trade Of the United, Kingdom hangs
on a statistical blunder in the compar-
ison Of the exports of 1902 with those
| OF: 1872. The lattersyear was notori-
ously phenomenal as an export year
| because of the requirements Of Ger
many and France after the war be.
tween those two countries, and it Is
| pointed out that Great Britain's ex-
ports consequently bounded up from
$1,115, 100000 in 1871 to $1,28O, 1000.
900 in 1872, after which, they Sgradu-
ally receded to the same total as il
|1S71.
It is therefore contended by the crit.
les that the whole fabric of Mr.. Cham.
| berlain's argument Is based on an ele
mentary error and that while his ifs
cal arithmetic is illogical, his premises
are hypothetical and improved. It i
expected that the colonies will resen

Upwards of two dozen varieties Of
badges have been issued by different
suborganizations in the Grain Dealers
NationaT association. Some Of the
badges are especially attractive.
That of. the Illinois Valley Grain
Dealers association, for example, is a
fve-pointed silver star bearing the
word Booster The Baltimore badge
shows the coat Of arms Of Mary
land with the "Oriole" black and
orange ribbon. A badge with a white
background and a red center comes
from Milwaukee and is labeled "a

whose badge shows a picture of the

bar, a scarlet satin ribbon and a cfrcu-

A statement Of the enrolment and at

last fiscal year has been compiled by
Indian Commissioner Jones, and it is very
encouraging so far as attendance is con-

not so good. The total enrolment last
year was 2S,411, a decrease Of 1873 from
the preceding year. The average attend
ance was 1882, an increase of 262 over
1902. This includes all Indian pupils at
