MINNEAPOLIS Tribune: Japanese sue

Minneapolis Tribune: Japanese sue
cess in the war would roll back Russian
conquest, discourage partition, revive the
yigor of the Chinese government, guar
antee liberal trade policy under the
protection of Japan and the Anglo
Saxon nations. The trade of China is
the richest prize left for the strife of
commercial nations. We have proved
that, with fair field and no favor, the
United States can get it's share of this
trade. We have been particularly sue
cessful in trading with that part of
China, from which Russia is preparing
to shut out all trade but her own.
Probably the end of the war will find
this region under Japanese protection
and special friendly facilities there for
our trade. Probably that is the way in
which our sympathy will be rewarded.
Northfield News: That old and
musty class party trick of sneaking and
pilfering party refreshments received a
set back last Monday evening. Org
inally the custom might have been
planned as joke, but that time has
long since passed by. Monday even
ing the members of the senior class of
the Northfeld high school were invit-
ed to class party by the lady mem
bers of the faculty and in the prepara-
ton of refreshments all ample supply
of "bait" was made up. The "bait" in
the shape of a toothsome looking cake
which was made with an assortment
of peppers and other disagreeable con
diments and an ice cream freezer stuff
ed with cotton was set in a convenient
place for the up holders who ''swiped"
tho bait and gloated over their escapade
until they sampled their plunder, and
then cries for water and more water
were heard. 1t is hoped that the
warm reception may have the desired
effect.

The advance in the price of refined
petroleum or kerosene in 1903 is ascrib-
ed by the Standard Oil Company to the
largely increased demand incidental to
the coal famine. This shows that the
exactions of the coal barons even dur.
ing years of normal coal production are
instrumental in raising the price OF
another necessity, kerosene, when the
people try to economize by using the
oil for heating.

FARMER BEN'S COLUMN.

The tax assessor has been round and
looking up Farmer Ben's belongings
There's no use of tryin' to hide 'em for
they are all in sight, the horse and COW
and chickens and garden and furniture.
1t all has to go In without any chance
to lie about it or knock down it's value.
But when it comes to the big tax dodg-
ers in the cities it's decidedly differin'
proposition. Lots of the town folks
that hav got just linin's Of money in
vested in all directions can cover it up
so that the assessor can't see it and so
they go scot free. Look at the tax list
printed every year and see how the
sneakin', lyin', deceitful, unscrupulous
tax dodger will get off with few cents
tax if their names are on the list at all
when the farmer and the laborin' man
has to put up more tax than he altho
he counts his wealth in dollars where
the farmer and laborer is computin
hisn in cents. Look at the big corpora
tions like the railroad and land and
mill companies that don't pay one
fiftieth part of what they ought to get
and then look at the farmer with his
land and cattle and belongin's all in
sight gettin' it in full to be taxed. I
tell you it amt fair and righteous and
I'd like to see the thing evoned up some
how. If everybody put in all their
property fair and honest and every
thing was assessed alike, there would
be so much bigger valuation that the
rate to everybody would be agreeably
light and easy and taxes wouldn't
burden anybody.
One of the boys was tellin' me the
other day that some of the grafters are
now takin' a new turn seein' that their
bluff to throw a scare at the courthouse
boys by threatenin' opposition to 'em
at the next primary was 50 teetotally a
fizzle and ridiculous failure that every
body was Dustin with laughin'. Now
the grafters are comm round and
purrin' like kittens and tellin' the boys
that they was alwus their best friends
and there amt goin' to be no fight on
EN- this trip and they want to see 'em
get there and all that, just tryin' to
climb onto the band wagon while the
dust is flynn and the music is hummin'.
It's the only caper that the grafters
can cut this trip. They started out
with tryin' to throw a scare at the Of
fcers by promisin' to rip 'em up the
back if they didn't get down and do
this and quit doin' that but the boys
hav gone right on in dignifed silence
and now when they don't scare worth
a cent the leg pullers and heelers are in
a botch of a fix and are playin' the
Jack and Gill act to the aggregation.
Farmer Ben started out months ago
with the proposition that the boys in
the courthouse was entitled to renom-
ination because they was nearly all on
their first terms and. there he proposes
to stand. He don't care a rap what
others do on the same proposition. It's
i a free country and those who wish to
! |get pry under the present courthouse
boys hay perfect liberty to be huntin' a

flag is unconstitutional so far as usin'
it in advertisin' devices and on trade
labels. There was a minority opinion
upholdin' the law but the majority held
that there is nothin' degradin' or be-
littlin' in the use of the flag on boxes
in which cigars are sold. Ireckon that
decision won't hold water everywhere
and it oughtn't. The public should
boycott every desecration like this of
old Glory. It seems pity and shame
that trade people amt got any more
Esense or patriotism or respect than to
use the most sacred emblem in the
country for mercenary. Insted of
maxim it common and tradin' sign it
ought to be kept so sacred that every
body would alwus be taught to respect
it and take off their hats when they
see it. But what kind of feelin's will
be awakened by SEEM old Glory stuck
on cigar box OF on paper Of hair
pins? believe that national law can
be devised and schemed out that will
hold water and keep the old flag from
desecration and belittlin' and lowerin'
it's high position in the regard OF all,
Nobody but lot OF hyena money grab
bers would stoop to such a low down
course. There's plenty of other de-
vices by which to catch trade without
resortin' to such despicable methods.
The old soldiers all feel alike about
this disrespect. They fought and bled
for the stars and stripes and hav a
right to righteous indignation over ita
outrageous abuse.
don't wonder that so many folks
hav the dispepsy and indigestion and
such when I read about the govern
ment experiments and examinations
on the canned goods and such that We
eat. Sixty percent of the jellies made
in this country are limitations and COM
posed Of glucose and colorin' matter
and some contain no fruit whatsoever.
In canned goods sillysillic acid or some
such named stuff is used for preservin'
and lot of other stuff is chucked in to
fill up and adul.ecate which is teototalQ
unhealthy and just tans and callouses
the linin' of the stomach and neutralizes
the power Of it's juices and the result
comes in weak digestin' and in starvin'
the constitution and in playin' hob
generally with ones apparatus for
turnin' food into part Of your body.
1t seems like all along the line this
adulteratin' of foods is goin' on until
it's gettin' SO there amt a thing but
what is liable to be impure. I don't
think the state authorities are one bit
too strict in lookin' up this business
and cuttin' out and fnin' all merchants
dealin' in such snides. IF we don't get
protection some way, we're destined to
become race of indigestibles. It don't
affect Farmer Ben so much for he stays
right by the old substantials and takes
his boiled dinners and onions and
garden truck regular and has the pure
honey that his own bees make for
1sauce. But. when he does buy canned
stuff and such he wants it pure.

JOE EpPERsoN GOES WRONG.
Carroll Boy Well Known in Denisen,
Disappears Very Suddenly.

UlB0ppc6ID very OuuVculys
Many Denlson people will no doubt
be surprised to learn that Mr.. Joe Ep-
person, Of Carroll, has disappeared,
leaving his accounts with the Iowa
Telephone Co., in very bad shape.
There are other people in Denison who
are not at all surprised. and who would
have been glad at any time to have
met the gentleman. From the Carroll
Herald we clip the following:
The affairs of the Iowa Telephone
company at this place are undergoing
an investigation THE week. 1t SCENE
that J. E. Epperson who has been man
ager for the last six years, or 30. disap-
peared Saturday very suddenly. His
departure caused alarm in certain
quarters and Tuesday morning head
officers OF the company, from Daven-
pprt. were on hand and proceeded to
check up his accounts. Gen. Supt.
Mcfarland, Gen. Auditor Palm, OF
Davenport, and Mr.. Ramsey, of Des
Moines are still busy looking into the
affairs of the late manager, but are not
prepared to give out any ststement.
There is little doubt that there are
grounds for grave rumors that have
been started concerning the findings
they have already Imace. This paper
does not deem it wise to go into partic-
ulars, as full statement will be ready
for next weeks issue.
