Dental elections was as follows:

In the ninth district, the. county Of
Beltrami more than doubled the vote,
while Roseau and Red Lake were the
only others to show gain. The Red
river valley counties all decreased their
vote. Of course, as already stated,
this does not mean that they have not
increased in population, but it shows
relatively that the heavy gains Of the
last four years have been in the tim
bered counties, which have held out the
inducement Of cheap land to settlers.
The census will be of value to the
new immigration bureau work. It will
point infallibly to those sections which
are growing, and to those which are
standing still and may need special ex-
plotting. The demand for cheap. land
will not cease, but land transactions
Of future years will not be confined to
unpeopled sections. There are splen-
did lands still untitled in southern and
western Minnesota, which have been
passed by because they were held at
higher prices than, those farther north.

to markets will command attention for
them in time. There is plenty of room
for farmers in every county of Min
nesota. -, .5-= -. -. @e. ..

Promising Crop Situation.

But the warm weather must come or the
advantage gained this year by the early
start will soon be lost, and the stand
will be no further in advance than
usual. The weather bureau promised
relief yesterday, but the rain of last
night and this morning appears to have
slipped in off schedule.
The early advices show that all the
country from Minneapolis to Fargo got
some rain last night, heavy in places
light in others, but not needed any

time, over section of country too low
to drain readily, and naturally too moist
to absorb the rain as advantageously as
the country farther west. This garden

last year from too much moisture; only
the rains came early at that time and

OPENINGS IN FAR EAST
COMMERCIAL CHANCES FOB
AMERICA IN ORIENT Ex-
PLANNED TO CHURCH CLUB OF
MINNESOTA.

Rev. 81. Percy Silver, chaplain of the
Thirty-niHth United States infantry, ad-
dressed the Church club of the Diocese
of Minnesota at the Nicollet hotel last
evening ON the subject of "America 8
Far Eastern Problem The subject
was handled rather from the CONNER
cial than the ecclesiastical standpoint,
the speaker asserting that the desire for
enlightenment always follows the pro-,
gress of civilized trade.
The American merchant, he asserted,
is slow in breaking into the rich eastern
markets in spite of the fact that they
are naturally his, and are only awaiting
exploitation. Gin JAPAN said he,
(Which has population Of $4,000 900

noa, there is an absolute demand for
foreign products. The people are ad-
varcing in civilization and must have
our goods.
GAS far as China is concerned, be-
lieve the United States is the natural
world power to develop that nation.
The country is isolated from the rest Of
Asia by mountains and deserts and the
vessels of European nations in order to

Africa or Cape Horn or pay heavy toll
for traversing the Suez canal; but the
Pacific ocean forms natural highway
between the United States and China
and one which affords great advan-
tages.'

were Bishop S. c., Edsall, Rev. F. H.
Rowse and F. o. Osborne, who made his
report as delegate to the thirteenth an.
nual conference of church clubs.

FILLED PLACES OF
STRIKING PLUMBERS

The plumbers strike, which began on
April /, is to all intents and purposes
dead, according to the statements Of the
master plumbers. At the start of the
strike every union journeyman plumber
in the city quit work. The masters~an-
nounced that they would never give in,
and at once organized to resist the de-
mands Of the union --- f.
Each side held out strong and made
large claims Of it's strength. The union
announced that it had received $4,000
from the Chicago union and would fight
to the bitter end. A cooperative shop
was also started, the managers entering
the field and competing for contracts.
The employers now announce that
they have the strikers beaten to a
standstill. Outside men have been
brought to the city and have been cared
for at good wages. All the employers
in the association stood pat and now
have enough men to do all their work.
Many of the strikers left the city, and
a few. secured work with masters who
were not in the employers association.
Some, however, have gone back to work
for their former employers, and say that
they are glad Of the opportunity to get
busy again. ."- ~

What the Census May Show.

The coming state census will furnish
some interesting information, in addi-
ton to showing the number of people
contained in Minnesota and its vari-
GUS subdivisions. It will show, among
other things, that the state center Of
population has shifted northward, and
that the newer counties Of the sixth,
eighth and ninth congressional dis
tricts have developed remarkably. Some
will be found to have more than
doubled the number Of Inhabitants.
The rush for cheaper lands has carried
thousands Of farmers from the older
counties in southern Minnesota north
ward, to take farms in northern Min
nesota, North Dakota, and even in the
Canadian northwest. Some of the coun-
ties in the southeastern part of the
state may show very little, if any, in
crease in population since 1900.
The vote cast at the last election is
about the, only basis for figuring, and
it is not reliable because Of the large
stay home vote, especially in the
country districts The total vote cast
at the 1900 election was 333,5 1913, while
in 1904 the vote was only 322,692; yet
no one doubts that the state as whole
has grown at far more than the natural
rate Of population. The only thing
that can be determined from the vote
| cast is the relative growth Of different
sections.
The cities all increased their vote,
| which was to be expected, as it is so
much less trouble to vote in the cities
that the stay-at home percentage is al
ways small at a national election. Most
| Of the rural counties showed falling

the southern counties. The first, sec
ond and third congressional districts

Seeds of Tariff Reform.

The decision of the executive COM
mittee of the Panama isthmian canal
commission to purchase material and
ships in the markets Of the world seems
to have the approval Of the president
and Secretary Taft. The president and
his secretary undoubtedly realize what
this decision is likely to do in the way
of opening the question Of tariff revi-
sion, and perhaps their natural expecta-
tions in that direction have not infu-
enced them against such decision. It
appears that by deciding to buy in the
open market instead of combining their
purchases to American manufacturers
and producers they are going to save in
great many instances at least SO per
cent Of the cost Of materials and sup
plies. ...,. .r..+..-
Of course, there will be a great roar
from tho American manufacturers, but
the country generally will strongly sup
port this decision. It is going to de.
velop, among other things, that highly
protected manufacturers cannot sell
their products in the markets Of the
world at world market prices, and hold
up the government of the United States
for so per cent more under the favor Of
the protective tariff. And this action
of the government itself is likely to be
very far-reaching in its effect upon the
general tariff question. If the govern
ment of the United States will not sub
nit to extortionate prices by highly
protected industries, why should indi
viduals do 500 There are in this deci
sion of the canal commission more seeds
Of tariff reform than have been sown il
the public mind for many long day.

Minneapolis June 5.
Since last season the parade has been
enlarged and improved upon by master
hands in the art of producing circus at

pageant to interest and hold the atten-

The parade is in thirty sections, and
each one is a superb attraction in itself.
It's hundreds of proudly stepping horses,
with waving plumes and trappings Of
gold and silver; its gorgeously costumed
knights and ladies, heralds and cour-
tiers; its brilliantly uniformed SOL
diers; it's numerous bands of music; it's

The War Game at Court.

The sporting portion Of the world
which looks upon war as great specta-
Gle to be enjoyed from afar or gigan-
tic game whose intensity is only height
ened by the fact that men are dying by
thousands to make it 60, is becoming
impatient over the failure of the Rus
sian and Japanese fleets to get at one
another Why are we being cheated of
the slaughter? they murmur. What is
the matter that the game does not pro-
coed? They are as mad as the crowd at
horse race, where the drivers spend
twenty minutes scoring for start.
1t must be apparent by this time that
the two fleets could have come together
if they had tried. Togo could have
made his way to Kamranh bay; he could
have met the Russians in the straits
of Malacca. He has not done it. The
Russians could have sailed on and met
Togo near Formosa or wherever he is
"laying for' them. But Rojestvensky
is still lying in the lee of some French
port "resting'' his men and polishing
the brasswork of his ships. Togo is
still waiting, and no doubt, he too, is
doing some polishing. But it is not
to be supposed that the war is stopped
because the fighting has for the time
being ceased. Every Indication points
to activity in the diplomatic depart
ment of the war. The change Of Rus
sian ministers at Washington is quite a
significant thing just at this stage. Baron
Rosen, the new appointee, is openly a
member of the peace party. He was
minister to Japan before the war
opened, and vainly warned his govern
ment that the Japanese meant business
and were prepared for it. The blund-
ering and incompetent, Alexieff had the
ear of the court, and hurled his coun-
try into disastrous campaign. Baron
Rosen's appointment to Washington
means that the car thinks more of his
advice than he used to. If Rosen has
not changed his views secretly he is still
for peace. 1t stands to reason that
Russia would be glad to have the good
offices Of this country in any attempt to
arrange terms. a. -
Now the value to Russia Of an unde
feated fleet in the far east at this june
ture is apparent. Japan must destroy
that feet or take down some Of he,
demands. - IF she meets and fails tc
defeat Rojestvensky, she will have te
take down further; in fact, with all he1
land victories. theswar game is drawn.
While the situation affords an ex
cellent opportunity for an honorable
peace for Russia, it is fraught will
chances for a. practical defeat TO:
Japan. After the Chinese war she los
nearly all her conquests in the diplo
matte roundup. She stands grav'
chance Of falling into the same hol
again. So Japan is saving her flee
for the last throw, and Russia is Saving
hers for trading stock in the chancel
leries of Europe.
