be sold to Minnesota farmers at a price
at least 2 cents lower than the price

Reciprocity not Check to Trade.

A speech on Wednesday in the
United States senate by Senator Cul-
lom, who is chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, was a careful re-
view of the international questions
which had been disposed of under the
Mckinley Roosevelt administrations
since 1897.
The acquisition of the Hawaiian
islands, he said, gave to the United
States a foothold in the Pacific and
was the beginning of our great expan-
sion under the Mckinley administra-
ton.
He said the exports of the Philip
pines] had increased nearly $12O0OyOOO
in the last year and it was not unsafe
to say that the total value of the trade
would eventually amount to several
hundred millions annually. Manila
would become the great commercial
center Of the orient.
Regarding the disposition of the
diplomatic complications which had
stood in the way of an interoceanic
canal, he said that during the three
years of the Roosevelt administration,
more progress had been made toward
the construction of an interoceanic
canal than in the three quarters of a
century of our previous history. Bear
ing on our relations with the orient,
the senator said that Secretary Hay
had gained a diplomatic triumph in
obtaining the consent Of Russia, al d
Japan that the neutrality of China and
her administrative entity shall be pro:
tected by both parties-a measure SO
wise that it had been accepted by
Russia and Japan themselves. 4.'' y :, :.
MIR. Cullom said that Thirty important
treaties had been proclaimed during
the period under consideration, ana
that the reciprocity q arrangements en-.
tered into under the sDingley1 act had
in every instance materially Increased
our commerce with the countries az
fected, without in the least intertfeiriing titiiinIl
with Viii asny sy American Industry. fF' 'af1
.z;jlj The senator on concluded: = lidds. with
Theodore Roosevelt as ) president 81 and
John Hay. as secretary of state, the
people may rest in TIE assurance that
our. international rights will be cared
for and the honor Of the nation we'll
guarded" .>

Some r. F. D. Don'ts.

An Appleton, MINI, rural free deliv-
cry carrier gives the following list of
"Don'ts" which should be observed by
many people receiving mail on every
route. The Appleton carrier says:
II would like to call the attention of
the patrons of the rural free delivery
routes to few Don'ts which if follow
ed, will result in great benefit to the
carriers.
"Don't drop your letters in the mail
box, and throw in couple of pennies
so that the carrier has to take off his
gloves and finger around for them. If
you think it is nice job try it once,
and see how you like it. Better buy a
supply of stamped envelopes; they
only cost you :ffty-three cents for
twenty-five, leaving only three
cents for the envelopes, If you mis-
direct any Of them, return them to the
carrier, who will give, you a two cent
stamp for each one spoiled.
'Don't leave your wagons, buggies, or
'other machinery in front ofyour box;
if you" do, the carrier would be justified
in passing along without leaving your
mail. -. I'D

4 Many Pensions .Al,dditlon;aI. ii;

The recent ruling providing PEN
sion Of SIS to $12 for all veterans over
sixty-two years of age is bringing
large number Of applications to the
Office of the Minnesota pension bureau
in charge of Maj. Oscar Seebach, as
sistant adjutant general. j.
~ always supposed that at least 80
per cent Of the old soldiers in Minnesota
were on the pension roll,'' says Major
Seebach ''but 1 am now convinced that
this is not the case. We are receiving
scores and scores Of applications from
veterans who have never been on the
pension roll, *"@E#@.s -
"Under the recent ruling of the ad-
jutant general a veteran who is sixty
two years old is entitled to apension of
SO. Those sixtyfive years Sof age are
entitled to pension of SO, sixty eight
years to $40 and seventy or over to $12.
"These pensions are granted, for age
alone. If the applicant has a perman-
ent disability he may get higher pen
sion, according to the circumstances of
his case. Applicants for the age pen
sion should make out a regular applica-
tion, giving the date Of birth. We are
receiving many inquiries whether it is
necessary for the applicant to be ex-
amined. This is not necessary if the
applicant seeks merely for q pension
based on his age. But ifthe applicant
has any permanent disabilities, it is
we'll for him to be examined for in
that case he might get more than the
age limit. 1T dose not follow, however,
that because a#yeteran under sixty two
years of age has been getting So a
week for permanent disability that he
will get $6 more on arriving at the age
of sixty two"

THE POINT ATISSUE.
What Japan Wants of Korea and
=Ssz What Russia Wants of Her

What Japan Wants of Korea and
.ss What Russia Wants of Her.
From Homer B. Hulbert's ..Korrea,, the Bone
of Contention" in the May Century.
2" What does Japan want of Korea and
what does Russia want of her? The
interests of these two powers in the
peninsula are quite different. Japan
demands that Korea shall have clean
and enlightened government which will
lead the people to a peaceful develop
ment Of the resources of the country.
It demands good monetary system, a
good police system, a good system of
taxation. All these things will benefit
Japanese trade in Korea, and at the
same time will be of equal value to
the Korean people themselves. These
conditions are the only ones that will
help Korea tide over the transition
period and finally become genuinely
civilized power. Russia, on the other
hand, cares nothing about reform in
Korea. The stronger and the cleaner
the government of Korea becomes, the
greater obstacle she will be in the way
of Russia's ambitions. It is not Korean
trade or Korean development or Korean
welfare that Russia wants, but Korea
herself. Japan has not demanded
port in Korea which she can arm and
in which she can intrench herself, but
the whole Russian press is evidence
that this is what Russia wants, and
the whole trend of her policy in the
far East during the last century con-
firms it.
The matter is summed up in the one
statement that Japanese demands in
Korea lie parallel with the interests of
the Korean people, while Russian as
pirations are directly opposed to them.
Take one glaring instance. Japan
secured a concession for building a
railway from Fusan to Seoul. This
will perhaps pay a fair dividend after
years of work, but it's value to Korea is
beyond estimate. 1t opens up the whole
interior of the country and quadruples
the value of every foot of land within
twenty miles of its line. A foreigner
in Taiku wrote the other day that the
coming of the Seoul Fusan railway
had already raised the price of property
in that town three hundred per cent,
although the road will not be in use for
another year. Take on the other hand
the Russian timber concession on the
Yalu River. This was arranged secret
ly with bribed foreign minister who
divided with the government the pro-
ceeds of the deal. BY this act there
was put into the hands of Russia pro-
perty to the value of at least fifty mil
lions of dollars. The government of
Korea received possibly a quarter of a
million. These two transactions illus
trate perfectly the attitude of the con-
teStantS.
