rhe snrine wheat namage.

The wheatfields of the northwest
Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Manito-
ba, etc.-are the center of attraction.
According to American Agriculturist,
the extent of the damage to spring
wheat by reason of rust is something
for which it will be necessary to await
thrashing returns, which will be late
from some fields
Reports from important wheat coun-
ties continue most conflicting. Some
well posted people maintain that the
damage approaches the possibilities Of
calamity to the spring wheat territory
of the northwest Others believe that
the reports have been greatly exagger-
ated and that this allegation will be
proved by the thrashing machine.
In general way 1t may be said that
the rust has worked northward from
the original center Of infection in south
ern Nebraska. 1t must not be under
stood that 1t is equally severe in differ
ent districts.
A feature of the rust situation is that
where it has attacked fields, even IL in
too mild form to materially cut down
the yield, the grain is shrunken. This
Ia the result Of imperfect filling, the
light attack having diverted the sap Of
the straw, leaving the heads impover-
ished.

Action In Draft Horses.

No one expects in draft horse the
quick nervous walk Of the trotter or
saddle horse; neither should his pace
be elephantine. II his levers are prop
erly set, If he is balanced in his anato-
my and lie the disposition is not slug
gish, he will walk with ease, even with
grace, comparatively speaking. In
deed, some draft horses walk with such
sprightly step that they are called gay.
The difference in value In actual work
between dull, slow, cloddy, stumbling
walker and a horse that walks with
prompt, clean, true supple stride is
almost beyond computation. The walk
should be free from interference, from
brushing, from padding. The hooks
should be held well together and the
iron on all four feet flashed in your
face as the horse leaves you.-Breed-
er's Gazette
Gull the Flock.
Concerning culls, there should be
none, says American Agricultrist. A
good shepherd dislikes to turn OF a
eve as long as she shears fair fleece
and raises lamb or two. But watch
the mouth. A sheep with scattering or
loose teeth Is past her prime. Sell her
at the first sign OF decadence, and she
will fatten all right.

REDWOOD FALLS AT MASON CITY,
Continued from page -

and Aiken of our local school board.
A visit was also made to the Carne-
gle library, which is not so hand
some as our own, but three or four
times larger.
Saturday evening saw great
crowd at the tabernacle, with many
standing through the service-a
congregation numbering nearly
5000 people. The Redw wood delega-
ton was'shonored by a position on
the platform, and number of the
bunch responded to invitations to
tell about Mr.. Sunday s work here.
Sunday morning and afternoon,
about $500 was raised toward de-
fraying about $4,000 of the tabernacle
expense fund. Considering the
large number of wealthy people in
Mason City, the contribution indi-
Gated that the saving grace of liber-
atty was not so pronounced at Ma
son City as in RedwoodFalls, at the
same period of the Sunday meet
ings.
All of the services on Sunday
were fine, especially the men,
meeting and the evening service.
At the former the evangelist reused
about 1900 men with his base ball
sermon, and at the close thirty or
forty men made home runs for the
front benches. The evening was
marked by the finest musical pro-
gram it hassever been our privilege
to listen to in connection with re
ligious service. Mason City is for
tunate in the possession of at least
half a dozen lady artists with con-
secrated as well as cultivated voices,
and also boasts male quartette that
would do credit to city four times
as large.
Taking into consideration the fact
that Mason City is a railroad center
and a manufacturing town fully five
times as large as our own, the inter-
est awakened during the first two
weeks of the Sunday meetings justi-
ties the expectation that great re-
ligious revival will prevail during
the next two weeks. The evangel-
ist seemed to be in good condition
considering his tremendous exer-
tons in the larger building where
he is now laboring, and the church
people are getting thoroughly
aroused.
Sundays delight in the singing
last Sunday evening was char
acteristic, and only those who
have witnessed his manifestations
of pleasure in his meetings can APP

Shen,n Confession.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal
 The brazen confession of C. P. Shea, who conducted the teamsters' strike in Chicago, that he deliberately commit order to prevent indictment of the blackmailers of the unions, should arouse the indignation of all good citi- zens and especially those union men who blindly followed him under the misguided Impression that he was hon estly trying to alleviate the condition of the teamsters of Chicago.
 The contempt in which this man Shea holds the law and constituted authori- gerous fellow, who should be held to a strict accountability for his seditious actions. In an open session of the con- vention of the International Brother hood of Teamsters in Philadelphia, Shea was bitterly attacked by the more conservative members of the organiza- tion and was branded as disloyal and incompetent, In replying to these charges Shea made use of the follow ing words:
 1T make the statement realizing the full force of what I say-realizing that my remarks may be brought against me In a court of justice. I deliberately state that I did recommend the chang ing of certain things on the records of the local unions of Chicago during and after the teamsters' strike because I thought that the alteration of the rec ords would prevent some of our men being indicted"
 It should be borne in mind that this Is the same man who was in contempt of court In Chicago and who was in dicted for blaekmail. He 1t was who prolonged the teamsters' strike long after any hope remained for a settle

BOOKER wAsHINGTON'S SARATOGA
 PERFORMANCE,

Since the fateful day when Booker T. Washington, sat down to the dinner table in the White House with Presi- dent Roosevelt. he has done many things to hurt the cause, of which he Is regarded as the foremost man. The people of the South have voluntarily taxed themselves many millions of dol lars for the education of the negroes. There has been no discrimination ex- cept-in the matter of taXpaying- nine dollars and fifty cents coming from the white people for every fifty cents paid by the negroes for educa- ton of negroes. There can be no just complaint, therefore, by Northern, Western, or any other people on this score against Southern white people. That Washingtou's persistent way of turning up at big affairs in the North, and occupying prominent places at banquet tables, where white men and women abound has caused some trou- ble in the South is not to be disputed. The Roosevelt affair was talked of among negroes in every part of the South as evidence of what. was coming for all of them. This was so wide- spread as to become a topic of oonver- sation in the humblest and most iso- lated negro cabins.
 The true friends of Washington and of the real advancement of the negro race, which 1t was hoped might be ac- complished through policies he advo- cated and proposed to carry out. have been sorely grieved by his continual exhibition of desire for social equali- ty, knowing that what he did would make a deep impression upon the more ignorant negroes of this country. What excuse, in view of conditions. North and South, can he offer for the exhi- bition of himself as escort to the din- ner table at Saratoga's leading hotel of the daughter of late Postmaster General John Wanamaker Leaving out of question the lack of delicacy and self-respect manifested by. Wan amaker and his family, blame must rest upon Washington because he knows how deep and impossible is the gulf between whites and blacks in the South, when the social situation is involved. He deliberately flaunts all

Improyemcnt of Capitol.

Tt will be impossible for one to i'm apine how much more beautiful the capitol will appear when It has been completely succeed" said an old cltl- gen of Montgomery yesterday T un- derstand from Secretary of State Mo David that he is directed by the Capi- tol Building Commission to have the exterior made over with stucco work instead of straight paint. I agree with the Commission that the capitol needs this improvement. It will emphasize the pretty architectural lines and in- crease the superficial appearance gem erally.
 Even If the improvement of the ex- terior and the new roofing ordered by the Commission are the only things that are now reckoned certainties there is a source of general satisfaction that this much will be done in the inn mediate future. For one, do not look for any addition or wing to the capl- tol for some time to come yet. The breach between the Supreme court members and the executive oh1cers or the State belonging to the Commission seems to widen with time.
 q know that the executive othcers of the State Government were in hopes that when a representative of the two story wing idea spoke 1t would be In n conciliatory note. They were sorely disappointed at the utterances of Chief Justice Mcclellan, which offered little Chance for a compromise. The mem hers of the Commission who are not Supreme Court justices will never yield to the two-story plans for capitol wings as far as I can ascertain. 50 l don't look for any new structure TOT some months to come.

ABOUT JAPANESE NAMES.

We have nothing to do with the controversy now going on between certain esteemed contemporaries over the spelling of Japanese proper names, partly because we didn't begin 1t and disputations. but one expression used by The Columbia State is a fair sub Ject of comment. It tells a disputa- tious contemporary that it should of course. know that only one form can be right, and should also, as matter of course, seek diligently to ascertain what that correct form is.'
 The State should know that such reasoning is fallacious. If we should assert that only one religious creed can be right. what would be thought of such a claim? Without doubt we should at once be asked to tell which Is the right creed. and as no human being has the right to give positive answer our claim would be discredited. It Is much the same with words. If all English speaking people could ap- point delegates to an orthographical convention. and that body would agree on the spelling of every word used in our language. and declare that. and that only, to be correct. then 1t might be proper to assert that only one form of spelling any word is right. That the commonest words in our language are spelled differently by different lex icographers Is plain to any one who will make even a cursory examination of the dictionaries and encyclopedias
 The English is essentially a pro- gressive language. It is interesting to go back three or four centuries and trace the variations in the spelling of our most common words. It is really difficult now to read an English sem tence as printed four centuries ago, 80 strange and uncouth are the words to our eyes. It may be said to the credit of the Photographers that in most cases the changes which have taken place in what we may call the evolutions of our language are for the better, though there are many words in common use which are little less than ridiculous in both spelling and pronunciation. In truth, there are many changes and innovations neces- sary before we have a language even approaching perfection. We suspect that those who read and write two or three hundred years hence will be amused at the English of today. ..
 If 1t is so far impossible to secure uniformity in the spelling and pronun- citation of ordinary words it is infinite ly more so with proper names, and es- peciaIly those of other countries and other languages. A notable exam pie of this is found in the Indian names of our own country. There are so many ways in which they are spelled by different writers that sometimes 1t is difficult to recognize a name as we find it written or printed. As the In- dians had no written language their names of persons. places and things have been taken down by sound alone, and the consequence is that each writ CT of Indian words has used his own way of spelling them. It Is even worse with Japanese and Chinese words, and we don't think any news paper has a right to asusme that it., and 1t only. prints them correctly. and that every other form is necessarily wrong The State shouldn't be dog matic.

POLES NOT REPRESENTED.
Archbishop SymOn Believes That
 They nre not Educated Enough.

Detroit. August 15.--Archbishop Francis Albion Symon. personal rep resentative of Pope Plus \, has been a guest of Bishop Foley and the Polish Catholic clergy of Detroit for several days.
 It was reported that the purpose of his tour of America was to investigate the claims of the Polish clergy for representation in the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. In an inter view Archbishop Symon said:
 The information sought is as to whether the average intelligence of the Polish Catholics of America war rants representation in the hierarch. And in this respect I must say I have looked for 1t everywhere and found very little--almost nothing. The Polish immigration in this country Is recruit ed from the humblest walks of life laborers, farmers, artisans. They are all good. pious.
