twenty different companies, is valued

work Independently, and the differ
entail and hostile tariffs for through
traffic now prevailing-in which
higher rates are charged from Ireland
to England than from Chicago to

A canal is proposed to run from
Lake Erie to Pittsburg, to carry iron
ore direct from Lake Superior to the
steel works at Pittsburg, making that
city practically lake port. Now, if
they will throw little of Pittsburg's
manufacturing business to Duluth,
and make this city an ore-smelting
center, it will even things u p.-Field

Worry not. The time is coming
when Duluth will supplant Pittsburg
as an iron-ore smelling center. The
cost to the steel trust of erecting
smelters at Duluth would be but a
bagatelle compared to that of digging
canal to ,Pittsburg from Lake su-
perior. Probably the trust has not
thoughts of this, however.

The intensifcation of the Chinese

The intensifcation Of the Chinese
boycott is now attributed ito a speech
by William j. Bryan. This is a
preposterous allegation. The inten-
siication of the Chinese boycott is
due to the general awakening of the
Chinese to the fact that the United
States is treating them unfairly-th that
it compels them to admit to their
shores any American bum that might
seek admission and at the same time
refuses the Cinnamon admission here.
While averse to making this country

Gerald 5. Smith, professor of
theology at the university of Chicago,
is obviously counting trouble. In
an address to the ':theologs" at the
divinity chapel of the university he
delivered himself of the following:
1T is now recognized that the word
quoted from the scriptures is not
identical with the word Of God. The
great protestant reforms based their
beliefs on revelations from God.
Quoting scripture, they said, Thus
saith the Lord, and the scripture was
taken as the direct word of God.
That attitude is no longer possible for
the scholar, for he recognizes that the
Bible is colored by both the opinion
and expression of the men who wrote
it. We must base our theology not
upon tentative opinions, but upon alb
solute assurance. The refOrmers at
tackled the church because they OBJ
jected to the reasonings of men as
opposed to the absolute assurance of
the word of God. We must arrive at
a stage of absolute assurance by test
of inner personality, not of specula-
tive possibility: Theology must be
built up on absolute convictions

Cancer Research.

The origin and nature of cancer,
with view to the discovery of means
for its prevention or cure, are being
studied at this time with unpre-
cedented thoroughness and care, and
while success has not yet been achiev-
ed, some results of promise and i'm
portance have been attained. It is
said that more has been accomplished
toward the solution of a problem which
has heretofore baffled the medical
science of the world during the last
two years and half than in all the
preceding quarter of century, and
conservative students and observers
are confident that the light is breaking
and that in a relatively brief period
the mastery of this dread disease will
be accomplished. In the meantime
some points of an encouraging
character have been determined with
a high degree Of certainty.
It has for one thing been ascer-
tanned that there is no good reason
for believing that the occurrence of the
malady is increasing in frequency.
This has frequently been asserted by
men who spoke with some authority,
but their statement is now declared to
be inaccurate. 1t is based upon
statistics which examination; has
proved to be untrustworthy, and it is
now the better opinion, it is the. opin-
ion of the highly trained experts who
are carrying on the studies of the Lon
don imperial fund, that cancer: is no
more prevalent today than it has
ever been. The contrary impression
is attributable to the fact that cases
Of it are more generally reported than
they were years ago. and also,! that
Improved methods of diagnosis detect
its development under circumstances
when it would formerly have escaped
detection. The reiterated assertion
that the disease was rapidly becoming
more common has disagreeably inn
pressed the public mind. It is.a relief
to be assured that the contrary is
true. xss.. st.t ,st &. s.s...s.,s iiata : 2

H4RMONY.

It was indeed, an exceedingly har-
monious (:') affair the banquet given
in commemoration of the immortal
Lincoln at Masonic Temple in Mime
apolis on Tuesday evening. Here is
a specimen of the harmony that per-
vaded the gathering as reported in
the Tribune:
Chairman Thomas n. Girling of
the Hennepin county Republican com
mittee, acting as Introductory toast
master, read letters from many prom
inent Minnesotans who had been in
vited to the gathering, but were un-
able to attend. Among these was a
striking message from Senator Knute
Nelson, and it was the introduction of
the senior senator's name which oc-
casioned the one discordant note in
the evenings program.
At the conclusion of Senator Mel
sons letter State Senator J. F. CAL
houn of Minneapolis rose from his
seat on the floor of the banquet hall.
"Mr. Toastmaster,' said Senator
Calhoun, "it seems to me that this is
a fitting and appropriate time to in
troduce a resolution which we should
all be glad to approve. offer this
resOlution:
" 'Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Republicans of Hennepin county,
and of all Republicans present at this
gathering, that Senator Knute Nelson
be reelected to succeed himself in the
United States senate. -
Cries of "No! Mo-" arose from
various parts of the hall. Charles
81. Huhn, president of the Fourth
Ward Republican club, jumped to his
feet and said:
"Mr. Toastmaster, [ rise to a point
of order; this is harmony conven-
tion, and is not the proper place for
the introduction of any resolution of
that sort" ...-.
This remark was received with ap-
proval by many of those present, and
there was confusion in the hall for
moment. Then Chairman Girling
secured order and said: a.
This is, indeed, a harmony gath her.
ing, and I believe this is harmony
resolution. It has received a second.
and I will proceed to put the question.
"Those in favor of the adoption of
this resolution will say Aye -
A thunderous "Aye" went up from
the banquet tables.
'Those opposed to the resolution
will say NO, I" said the chairman.
There was moment of silence, and
then a cry of 'No," almost as great
in volume as the affirmative voice,
arose.

PROF.. Eolley on Seed Treatment.

There is no higher authority on
smut, wilt, blight, rust, etc., than
Prof. Fl. L. Bolley of the North
Dakota experiment station. In these
times OF war upon these grain trou-
bles anything the professor has to
say upon the subject is worth careful
consideration. In a little pamphlet
prepared by Prof. Bolley for distribu-
tion by the $500" railway we find
the following explicit directions for
treatment of all kinds of grain bene-
flied by treatment: .-
Smut, wilt, blight, rot and other
diseases attack the crops by the way
OF the seed. The purpose of seed
treatment is to kill the spores of dis
ease which are on the seeds, without
injuring the terminating power of the
seed. The treatments which we recon-
mend prevents disease, hasten matur-
ity and increase the yield.
It less than the strength recon-
mended is used, the disease producing
spores will not be destroyed. If a
stronger solution is used the seed will
be injured or killed. To make the
solution, add sixteen avoirdupois
ounces Of 40 per cent formaldehyde
to forty or forty-five gallons of water.
Dip, sprinkle and shovel, spray, or
run through a dipping machine, in
deed, in any way, SO that all the
grains become: damp over the entire
surface. Avoid using too much solu-
tion. Too much only ,softens and
swells the seed and Injuries it. All
one wishes is to kill the smut spores.
It takes about three-fourths gallon of
solution per bushel of wheat.
In these grains the smut spores are
lodged inside the chaff scales. The
treatment must be thorough enough
so that the solution can soak between
the scales. Dipping is all right for
these grains, but it pays to shovel the
grain over several times to insure the
even distribution of the liquid. If the
sprinkling and shoveling method is
used the grain should be shoveled
thoroughly and be wet up once or
twice. ',.
These grains take about one and
one-half to two gallons of solution
per bushel. After treating any seed
grain with formaldehyde it pays to
allow the grain to remain piled for a
few hours. The excess of the solu-
tion will be absorbed and the gas act
more effectively. The grain will swell
some. By measuring before treating
and again afterwards one can decide
how to set the drill so as to SOW the
proper amount. Wheat swells about
one-fifth to one-sixth in bulk.
Supt. Bedford, Brandon, recon-
mends using a spray pump to supply
the formalin, and also says it is es-
sential to cover up the treated pile
with bags or horse-blankets so as to
keep in the fumes; otherwise the smut
spores on the top grains are not
killed, and escape to make trouble
and confuse the farmer, who then
thinks either the method or drug is
not good.-Grand Forks Times.

we'll, if not absolutely settled, relates
to the question of heredity. There are
probably few families in which some
case of cancer has not occurred more
or less remotely. The circumstance
IS usually as far as possible concealed,
but to many of those who become
aware of it the anxiety which it oc-
caslons is none the less distressing
because it is likely not to be dis
closed. They worry about the possi-
bllity of their meeting the same fate
as some one or other of their rela-
tives, and this is the very worst thing
they could do. The whole subject is
SO obscure that one hesitates to speak
OF any phase of it with any assur-
ance, but the observation that the oc-
Currence Of cancer is often connected
with prolonged mental anxiety may
not he without some significance. It
is therefore gratifying to note that
the researches of the imperial fund,
while not absolutely disproving,
very seriously discredit the prevail
ing belief about the hereditary nature
OF the affiiction. They are also reas-
suring in a third direction. They
show that the disease is not in the
slightest degree infectious. It can be
communicated from one person to
another, but only by means of a sur
gical operation of the utmost deli
cacy and difficulty, and so for all
practical purposes it is no more in
fictitious than gout. This means that
patient may be visited without the
least risk, and there are many to whom
this will be welcome information.
These are all valuable discoveries, and
it may fairly be supposed that they
will lead to others. Already the
investigators are on the verge of the
great secret. That they will presently
apprehend it need not be doubted

Nomadlsm and HOme-Making.

| Nomadism and HOme-Making.
|. 1t is sometimes difficult to separate
the land-speculating element from the
home-making element among settlers
in new countries when planning leg
islation for the homemaker. 1t will
remain difficult so long as there are
any new lands to occupy between the
Atlantic and the Pacific. Land specu-
lation began with the first discovery
by the jamestown and Plymouth men
that after occupying and improving
land for awhile it could be sold for
good price, even though nothing was
paid for it in the beginning. This
discovery was the origin of the
nomadism which has characterized so
large a portion Of the settlers whose
steady advances have built up the
country. But, viewing the matter in
it's larger aspects, it is not the man
who has 'moved on'' who has done
the ''building up'' as is held in a
popular creed, but the man who has
stayed. It is he who has created the
permanent homes, the fruitful farms,
the smiling villages, the busy factor
les, the great cities. It is he who has
made the business for the railroads.
It is only as nomadism is eliminated
from our population that the highest
civilization is attained. The nomad
has learned to grab larger and larger
areas for speculation. = The big land
holdings of the west, which block i'm
provement, are his. He has become
in innumerable cases, too, the proxy
of rich speculators in the older states,
whose holdings mark unimproved
areas scattered all along civilizations
line of march across the continent. 1t
is mainly to the land-speculating set
tier that we owe whatever is crude and
rough, ill-compacted and garish in
our national Developments !, Maxwell's
