There Is a multitude of thinking people

taken as the underlying motive Of the
movement. and the Greed and Platform Of
the Hcmccrofters as the practical plan to

FOLLOWS SUCCESSFUL ENGLISH
PLAN
The movement Is not intended TO be
an isolated one as the shops and
gardens are open TO any one who will
use them In the right way. Mr.. Max
well feels that isolation has been the
cause OF failure In such attempts and
that the people of the community must
themselves become a part Of such q
movement II II is to succeed. Here
again the scheme resembles that OF

developed along the same lines.
OVERCOMING PHYSICAL
DEGENERACY.
The Gid Is not making the mistake
Of trying to make farmers pure and
simple out of city workers. Such a
hard and fast line between city and
country win always lead to failure.
Mr.. Maxwell says: Give the city Il
worker home in the suburbs. where
be can have a garden and a poultry
rard. and where his children can have
and fresh air without stint.

Paris, Dec. lS.~ Most dramatic of all
the incidents III tbe present crisis be-

was the triuinphal progress Of Cardinal
Richard, archbishop Of Paris. from the
episcopal palace, which he voluntarily
vacated, to The bone Of Denys Cochin.
a prominent Conservative deputy and
one of the stanchest supporters of tile
Catholics.
A crowd Of 5000 men. women and
children prayed and sung and cheered
along the entire route, measuring more
than a mile The horses were taken
from the carriage, and the vehicle was
drawn by several hundreds Of men
pulling on two long ropes. The aged
pFlmate WAS almost overcome by the
demonstration and just before the start
found strength to rise to his feet and
bless the thousands within hearing

churches in the capital are still outside
the pale Of the law.
The conditions in the provinces are
threatening. Disturbances verging on
actual riots are reported from many
points. In Dunkirk policeman was
thrown out of a church and beaten and
kicked almost to death. Trouble be-
tween Catholics and anticlerieals in
Lille and Nice was only averted by the
interference of soldiers.

HELPING COLD STATES.

Freezing Northwest.

st. Paul, Mimi! Dec. 18.--The race ii
on between the weather and the rail-
roads which are trying to supply coal
to the freezing people of Minnesota
North and South Dakota and Montana.
1t is growing colder, and t mAr-
curry is dropping faster than the raft
roads can move their scant supply OF
cars. The temperature in st. Paul has
dropped % degrees. The lowest TEN
perature was below zero. AT Duluth
and Moorehead the mercury fell to rs
below. At Bismarck it reached 20 be-
low, % below at Devils Lake and "a
below at Williston, N. D.
There is scarcely q town in the
northern half of North Dakota In
which coal can be had except in small
quantities. In dozens Of towns the
dealers have no fuel to sell.
The railroads. slow to start. are
handicapped in the race. because there
is now more snow on the ground thar
at any other tire since 1896. Thus far
the state has escaped high winds AM
bid drifts, but a. storm such as is usual
at any tisae infithe winter would pile

many days and cripple them for the
whole Winter.

New York, Dec 18-'The dream of
the pessimist who sees the phantom of
the struggle for supremacy between
Japan and the United States for the
control Of the Pacific is too ridiculous
to be made the subject of serious COM
ment,'' was the declaration Of Viscount
Aoki, Japanese ambassador to this
country, in an address delivered at the

history of mankind in which better rea-
sons existed for the maintenance of
amicable relations.

lecture at present, but when the evil

will astonish the voters by seeing how
