ROOSEVELT AROUSED.
Cabinet Member Instructed to

ajeu Of OrioutaIs.

BY President Roosevelt's direction,
Victor H. Netcalf, secretary Of com
merce and labor, will leave Washington
tomorrow for San Francisco to make =
thorough inquiry in 10 the causes RESPONSE
BILE for the exclusion Of Japanese children
from the public schools.
Mr.. Metcalf is a Californian. His
home is at Oakland, just across the bay
from San Francisco. His selection as the
presidents envoy was due in part to the
geographical proximity Of his residence
to the seat of anti-Japanese agitation,
but the president wishes mainly to EN-
phasize that his interest in the situation
is great enough to justify sending one of
his cabinet officers to the scene. The
president,also has sent directions to the
United States district attorney at San
Francisco, through the department of
justice, to make full inquiry into the
determinations against Japanese school
children.

Fall Flowing.

The question Of fall blowing is debat-
able one in the minds of most farmers.
The practice seems to grow more COM
mon, upon trial in some neighborhoods
and to fall into almost total disfavor in
other sections. Upon the rolling lands
which are so common there is little ques-
ton that it is justly condemned, if, in
deed, it is good practice anywhere. Some
loss of plant food from washing and
blowing of the surface soil upon fall
plowed ground is evitable, although its
mechanical condition may be improved
somewhat by the action of the frost upon
the freshly plowed ground. OF course,
the condition of the labor market affects
the amount of fall blowing undertaken
or accomplished to very considerable
degree, but independently of any and all
of the factors mentioned, fall blowing
may be expedient in some cases. The
writer has done very little fall blowing
during recent years, but this year the
pillow will be kept going as long as the
weather will permit after the crops are
az ured.-Exchange

EIGHT HOUR DAY
 FOR CANAL ZONE
Trades Council Telegraphs to
 President Roosevelt
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
Mayor and Aldermen Are Urged to Adopt Eight-Hour Shift for Birmingham Policemen.
 United Labor League.

The eight-hour working day, favored by organized labor, was the most im- portant matter considered at the regu- lar semi-monthly meeting of the Bir- mingham Trades Council held yesterday afternoon. As a result two resolutions were adopted; one addressed to Presi- dent Roosevelt with reference to eight hour working days on the Panama canal zone. and the other to the Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham urging that eight-hour shifts for policemen be estab- llshed. After the adjournment a tele- gram was sent to President Roosevelt informing him of the action of the Trades Council, which is a delegate body rep resenting several thousand organized worxingmen in tho Birmingham district. The text of the telegram follows:
 President Theodore Roosevelt, Wash ington. D. c.
 At a meeting of the Birmingham Trades Council today a resolution was unanimously adopted urging you to veto the general deficiency bill now before you embodying a repeal of the eight hour law so far as 1t applies to employees in the Panama canal zone, which is con- sldered a step towards revoklng the law as 1t applies to all government employees.

Passing of the Church spire,

L. o. Thayer in Leslie's Weekly
 In the old days, when the church was chiefly regarded as a place In which to worship on Sunday, the spire was a per feet, visible symbol of character of the building. It was a sign of Gods house, and as such had it's use. Aside from this the spire had a bell, and, perhaps, clock. Now, how changedl The rapid commer- cial progress of the era has shown no sentimental regard for homes, churches, or anything else.
 The Baptists of late seem to have taken the most united move to get away from the spire and all that 1t means, but they are going to the other extreme. Many of their new churches look like public buildings, and some resemble a Cairo mosque. The Methodists, while doing away with the spire, have compromised in many instances on tower. The Nor man and English Gothic, or "perpendicu- lar Gothic" has come Into high favor in city churches. This style is ta once dig nifed and full of strength because of Its massiveness. One of New York City's best churches of this type is the North Presbyterian, on West One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street. It has short, square tower, carrying clock and bell. Another new Presbyterian church, Northminster, above Central park, is utterly devoid of spire. tower, of skyline adornment. One of the strangest looking churches in New York City is to be that of the Harlem Presbyterian. It is strictly Oriental at every point, startlingly Byzantine from its front elevation, four stories high to the gilded dome and color effects. The necessity for institutionalism knows no law except available room. One church in Pittsburg recently completed has fif- ty-two rooms in the edifice. The cost of the spire has gone into the interior.

Placing the Responsibility.

From an Exchange
 The late Bishop Merrill, d man of high attainments and regarded as the John Marshall of his denomination, had been trained as preacher in the somewhat severe school of pioneer Methodism, and in conducting public worship he preferred the simplicity of the primitive days.
 At one time he was unexpectedly called upon to preach in a suburb of one of the large cities and consented.
 He arrived rather late on the appointed Sunday morning and went at once to the pulpit, without having had an oppor- tunity to confer with the leader of the choir relative to the musical part of the service. The choir leader, in honor of the bishops presence, had arranged an elaborate programme. Unaware of this the bishop promptly rose, announced a hymn and read it through.
 The leader of the choir, however, was not to be baked. The organist instead of playing the tune appropriate to the hymn. played a voluntary" as usual. It was followed py a selection" rendered by the choir, and then a soprano solo.
 The bishop. who had sat down when the voluntary began, waited until there was a lull in the performance. Then he rose and without waiting for the singing of the hymn he had announced began:
 q wish to say to the congregation he said. that I had no part in arranging these opening exercises.

Children in Stampede.

Alton. H.. February 25.-While four hundred children were being entertained this evening with a moving picture show in St. Mary's Sunday school hall they were thrown into panic by the ignition of a roll of cellulod films. The children were pupils of the cathedral orphanage, the urseline convent and St. Mary's school and were in charge of members of the various Catholic ssterhoods. The sisters were helpless to stop the panic, The steep stairway leading from the hall became choked with children who fell down the steps, and trampled on one another in their fright It is estimat- ed that fifty were injured, but none se- riously.

The California Vintaqe.

From Outing
 The vineyard from the mountains has mathematical precision, and is planted in rows, and owing to it's vast dimensions the plants are not trellised, but are kept as bushes and do not grow higher than two or three feet-masses of brilliant green all through the warm summer, they cover the lower noun tain slopes in every direction and hid den beneath their broad leaves is the most gracious offering of all the Cali fornias. It seems impossible that not enough men and women could not be found from Sonora to Pasadena to pick this enormous vintage that brings to the state nearly twice as much wins as is produced in all France, or 750,000 tons of grapes, valued at $15.000, 900; but into the vast vineyards, north, south and into the San Joaquin valley an army of pickers are swarming. Some are Chinese, some Americans, Mexicans and Japanese.

The Key to the Situation.

From an Exchange
 Mark Twain has told many good stories of himself, and the circumstances make it likely that he was the original teller of the following His sense of humor would give the incident it's full value
 While at his summer residence he pre- pared one evening to take a drive and, expecting to remain out until late told his hostler that he need not wait for him. He instructed the man. however, when he had finished his work to lock the stable and place the key under a stone, the location of which MT Clemens de- scrbed with much exactness.
 When the humorist reached home after his drive he was surprised to find that the key was not in the place selected. He was obliged to rouse the hostler who explained as he started for the missing key, MT. Clemens found a better place to hide it."
