There can be no question but what the
best location, most central and most con-.
spicuous portion Of the campus is now
occupied by the Mechanic Arts building.
The old Mechanic Arts building was never:
a suitable structure for the institution,
and is now getting somewhat old. IS
Attic but little could be had by a sale
of the building, considerable could be re-
allied by the use OF the old material in
new work.
Such q location for the new 100000

the grouping and symmetry Of the institu-
ton and campus, as well as for the con-
venience Of the students.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
American MiIIers and Canadian whea

American MIIers and. Canadian Wheat.
To the Editor Of the Journal.
Mr.. EWylis Nelson Of Valley City, N. D.

eral questions relative to the importation
of wheat which, with your permission,
will answer
I deny that efforts are being made to
practically defeat the purpose of the tar

the domestic market the, object of the
Lowering bill, the Stevens bill and the eff

wheat with which to compete in the for

Mr.: Nelson confounds the bonding and
the drawback privileges. No one is ask
ing for an Interpretation Of the law af-
fecting the bonding of mills; the millers
want light on the drawback privilege,
however, and have applied to Secretary
Shaw for it. AS expected he has evaded
the responsibility and passed it On to. the
attorney general, who may or may not
decide the question in time to save the
American export flour trade from extinc-
ton.
The mills cannot grind foreign wheat in

port not only the flour made from the
| wheat, but the offal. There is no export
demand for offal. = !

The Kentucky colonel's Plan

TO the Editor Of the Journal.
The other day you had an editorial on
How the Civil War Might Have Been
Avoided It was suggested that Henry
Clay was the only statesman who had pro-
posed a plan, to wit, the gradual emanci-
patton Of the slaves by purchase Of the
children as they were born. The answer
that a Kentucky colonel made, after the
war, to the same question, think much
better and more practical. He said:
"1rhe war would have been avoided if,
instead of the Pilgrim Fathers landing on
Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock had
landed on the Pilgrim Fathers This
IS probably true for they were the fell
lows who sowed the seed that took root
in New England, and from thence the
sentiment against slavery spread over
that portion of the country north of the
Mason and Dixon line. &c. P.

Auditor Iverson's Report.

State Auditor Iverson s report to the
legislature is not campaign docu-
ment. 1t is conservative state paper,
reviewing the administration of the
states vast assets placed in the care
Of the auditor as land commissioner.
Il, Bearing this mind, the language Of
the report should be read without bias
or partizan spirit, or questioning of
motives. So viewed, the report be-
comes tremendously significant.
Mr.. lverson says that the present
law governing timber trespass was
drafted to stop the practice. His ex-
perience has found the law Sin the
main equal to the requirements and
by "rigid enforcement such as he
has practiced in the last two years, he
expects to "stop such crimes entirely.'
The auditors statements amply bear
out criticisms Of the previous conduct
Of the office, which were denounced
during the recent campaign as "perse-
cution'' and misrepresentation. -
Wiping out all other facts that have
been developed in the past year, it is
evident, from the language of Mr..
Iverson, that the previous policy Of the
state has failed to discourage trespass.
The "deplorable" prevalence of the
practice is plainly due to past failures
to enforce the law as the legislature
intended.
Mr.. VERSIONS statement Of his own
policy is nothing new. It was made in
10: ;~4o Nv,
in the present year. It has not been
forced from him by the lessons of the
campaign, tho it is plain that the past
| investigation Of the office has opened
the eyes Of the present auditor to the
need of reform in some particulars.
| Another feature of the auditors re-
port calls for remark. 1t is hardly
credible that millions of tons of ore
were taken from state land and the roy
atty paid on the mere statement of the
lessees, but that was the practice until
the administration Of the present audit
, or. The state now maintains an in
spector on the ground, who checks. the
weights reported by the mining compa
MES, and insures a full return to the
state. When Mr.. Iverson criticizes the
past policy with regard to this enormous
interest, he is on conservative ground
and cannot be accused of indulging il
sensations. Yet the statements and thu
differences to be found from this officia
document are quite as damaging to tn
past record of the office as the much
abused reports Of the public examiner.
The campaign is all over now. Every
body might as well take a candid viey
Of the facts.

Potent for Peace.

Under the auspices of the executive |
committee Of the American conference
of international arbitration, in New
York, there was held last evening Il
notable mass meeting to impress the
senate at Washington with the import
ance of proceeding at an early date to
the ratification Of the treaties of arbi-
tration which our government has nego-
tiated with foreign powers to refer to
the Hague tribunal all arbitrable ques-
lions arising between us and them. The
meeting was the first of a series of sim
liar meetings to be held in various
cities, and, if the interest taken in New
York in the subject is Indicative Of pub
lie sentiment elsewhere, the senate will
hardly let those treaties lie neglected in
committeerooms, as they have done with
respect to Mr. Kasson g various recipro-
city treaties.
A notable speech last night, was that
of Archbishop Ireland, who did not pose
sist that war is only a curse to the
human race, and that no war can posi-
bly, be justifable. He paid splendid
tribute to the heroism Of the soldiers
who rush into the jaws Of death cat
country's call in service to country's
veal and honor,' and declared what
ever the future may bring forth for in
ternational arbitration, the "glory of
battlefelds where freedom and patriot.
ism led the fray, shall not be hidden
from memory's eye, and the names of
the heroes shall not be unhonored.'' Yet
| "the battlefield should be the last
refuge of reason and conscience strug-
Cling to uphold justice and righteous
ness,' and the archbishop proceeded to
extol the establishment of The Hague
tribunal, which had stimulated the large
movement for international arbitration
treaties at the present time. -
The meeting was attended and par
ticipated in by many distinguished
men, who believe that, while our gov
eminent should use all it's influence to
bring us into the most friendly rela-
1 lions with the other nations, yet, in
the words of President Roosevelt: GA

to all mankind not to sink into help.

The experience Of our government
with international arbitration during
the last fifty years records few cases
of disappointment. We avoided great
war with Great Britain by submitting
the Confederate cruiser damage cases
| to the Geneva tribunal. The Alaskan
. boundary case was settled in our favor
while the tribunal at The Hague went
against us in the Venezuelan case. The
. interest Of the nations in internationa,
arbitration is demonstrated by the
alacrity with which nearly all the sig

A Profile.

President Roosevelt went to prayer
meeting Thursday night. That Of itself
is not such an unusual thing for presi-
dent of the United States to do that it
should excite comment. Mr.. Harrison
and Mr.. Mckinley were both very
faithful to their church duties and
made much Of their religious privileges,
as did other presidents before them.
The fact of peculiar interest in con-
nection with the presidents presence
at the regular mid-week meeting Of the
church with which he is identified is
the little talk he made on that occasion.
At the conclusion Of the regular serv-
ice the pastor introduced the president,
who had expressed desire to come
more closelyin touch with his fellow
members Of Grace Reformed church.
The president then, in the course Of a
few minutes talk, drifted into one Of
those little informal, impromptu, heart
to-heart-si life speeches in which he
is so exceedingly happy in sentiment
and fortunate in expression. The oc-
casion suggested the theme, no doubt,
for he talked about the relation Of
Observation-Disclosures not within
the membership Of the church alone,
but on the broader plane Of life in gen
eral where the desire for sympathy is
universal and the grasp Of friendly
hand makes all the difference, some
times, between hope and despair.
That is not exactly the way the presi-
dent said it, but there. was revealed as
existing in the heart Of the president
that longing for sincere friendship and
sympathy which must be especially
grateful to one in his position burdened
with the cares and responsibilities of
his great office. ~.
And yet, how different the situation
of our president, one of our own mum
| Der, from that of a monarch who must
for traditional reasons live more OF
less apart and untouched by the sympa-
thy and close intimacy Of any other
mortal. This occasion heightened the
contrast and revealed again in strong
light side Of our president which we
all like to contemplate and which we are
generally looking at when we call him
Teddy-his intensely democratic and
generously sympathetic side which
keeps him as open and sensitive at all
!, times TO the wishes and the interests 81
