which cannot rise above dollars and cents
when questions of moment are under dis
cussion. As a government the United
States should remain neutral in the war
now waging in the far east. There is no
occasion for this nation to act otherwise,
but individuals have a right to throw
their sympathy one way or the other,
and it is to their credit that the people
of the United States are in sympathy
with Japan in its struggle against a
powerful and at the same time tyranni-
cal government. There is no need of
fretting over unpleasant results. There
is nothing the people of this country can
lose by giving their moral support to the
oppressed. 1t is characteristic of the
Americans to express sympathy for the
weak. 1t was the case when the Span
iards were placing the heel of tyranny
upon the throats of Che Cubans, and
when the 'unspeakable" Turks were
slaughtering the Armenians the people
of the United States were not slow to
condemn the Sultan's butchers.
There is no question but shat the large
of the people of this country
would rejoice were the Russian govern
ment to be wiped off the face of the
earth, and in its stead a republic formed,
under which the inhabitants of that land
could enjoy civil and religious liberty
Ignorance could be then banished, the
poorer classes would be given advantages
and opportunities they do not now pos
sess and conditions all around would be
changed for the better. With those who
express the hope that Japan shall win
the pending struggle it is not question
Of pelf, but their motives are prompted
by higher considerations.

General Widell, of Mankato, is, a can

Republicans, of Blue Earth county will
send to the county convention deiega-
zion that will in turn select good fight
ing delegation to the congressional con-
vention to. be held. in, Manaato on the
18th. The courteous and usual thing
to do would be to invite Mr.. Widell to
name the twenty delegates to the con-
gressional convention, and it is likely that
this offer will be made to the gentleman.
The psimaries should be- well attended
on the 18th and every town in tie

Business Education in High Schools.

The Minneapolis Tribune calls atten
ton to the fact that the board of educa
ton is about to establish so-called
commercial course in the high schools.
This will be far more practical and use
full than most of the special courses pur
sued there. 1t will cover four years. The
special commercial branches, from pen
manship through all grades of book
keeping, stenography and typewriting,
commercial geography and history to
commercial law, will be taught, we sup
pose by new teachers of these special
ties, added to the force With these
will be combined enough English, history
pure mathematics, language and science
from the courses already established to
make the course complete,
The Tribune adds that it does not be-
lieve that the board of education in
tends the establishment of a commercial
course as an answer to the general COM
plant of business men that boys and
girls came out of the public schools un-
fitted for the simplest elementary duties
of business life. The general complaint
of business men, as we understood it,
was not that high school graduates were
not expert bookkeepers, stenographers
and typewriters, authorities on CONNER
cial geography and history and masters
of commercial law. The main complaint
was that they could not write legibly or
read intelligently; that they could not
spell ordinary words or do sums in sim
pie arithmetic.
"Boys thoroughly grounded in these
things can get business education
quickly and easily, in counting houses or
commercial colleges. Boys not well
grounded in them cannot get a CONNER
cial education anywhere, even in four
years. high school course"
There are those who believe in the es-
Enlistment of a business course in
high schools; that is in giving the young
men and women which will equip them
properly to take up the battle for bread.
1t is noticeable that right here in Man
kato there is private college which in
structs from 400 to 500 young men and
women in commercial studies. In other
cities colleges of like character are do
ing the same work. That they are FL
ling demand is evidenced by the large
attendance in each. Were the high
, schools to give Instructions in COM
mercial course there certainly would be no
lack of patronage at those educational
institutions which are maintained at
public expense. There need be no tear
ing down of the course in the high
schools which now find favor with so
many students who are not anxious to
pursue the so-called commercial in
struction.

Instruction In Law Breaking.

A messenger boys strike is on IN Chi

gagged to work for the Western Union
Telegraph company and in the perform
ance Of their duty are required TO carry
kilograms from place to place. The
strikers have seen fit to waylay the
and take from themmessages
which are for patrons of the" company.
If reports from Chicago arc. true the
FedeTation of Labor is, upholding the
striRers in this sort of thing. This is
another instance of how easily<and how,
quickly boys may be encouraged to vio~
late the laws Their elders should teaca
them better things, but violence ard
law breaking appears tos be the chief
stock in trade of strikers and their SYM
pathizers.
