Essentially this is a subtle move to
dissipate the sun-fiecked and silken

terrors? Is there no bane in Staying

no virtue in the left hind leg of the

rabbitdom? Science has meshed us
all, but there are twilight times when
the mind, swinging dreamily back

over a wall at a farmer, She says,

without intending II, the profound fact
that under all our material prosperity
lies the produce of the earth; that
every man. from the farmer to the
master of the stock market, succeeds
or fails with the crops. One Of the
most promising American noyelists,
who died in his prime, set for himself
the splendid imaginative task OF
tracing through a series of novels the
kernel OF wheat, from the field to the
loaf OF bread. In his Epic Of tho
Wheat" he attempted to tell in a new
kind OF harvest fable the story Of mod.
ern a AS far as he went, he did
succeed In making the kernel of wheat
the heart Of a large section Of our
highly complex life. The flooding in
of millions OF bushels of wheat about

 PARLIAMENT

London, Feb Fixing Edward opened parliament today with full state ceremonial. He was accom- panied by Queen Alexandra, who occupied the second throne in the House of Lords. All the high off cers of the state were present in full dress and the scene was bril- liant one The king read his speech from the throne, which set forth that his relations with for eign powers were of a most satisfac- tory nature. He called on the Lords and Commons to give due and care full consideration to the very inn portant measures which would be introduced in both houses during the coming session. While driy ing through the streets of London, to and from St. James Palace, their majesties were loudly cheered by the populace, the streets being thronged.

OSTEOPATHISTS SEEK
 RECOGNITION

Albany, N. Y., Feb 12.-In the senate chamber today senate and assembly committees, specially ap- pointed, took up the first formal hearing of the Osteopathy bill and cognate subjects. The bill is drawn and backed by the "New York So- ciety of Osteotherapeutic Physici- ans," an organization composed of practitioners not graduates of the Kirkyille, Mo-, Osteopathic college. They are promoting the bill so as to seek legal recognition but they declare they are willing to place themselves in much the same posi- tion to regular practicing physicians as trained nurses occupy. The SUD- pOrters of the bill want to be clear ly distinguished from the support
 CTS of the Hamn-Hinam osteopathy bill, who seek recognition similar to and. of equal dignity with that enjoyed by practicing physicians. There are between 60 and 70 of the full course graduates of the kirkville institution. They seek
 among other things to be protected from masseurs who are practicing their trades under the tiles of os- teopathists. The latter apparently class the supporters of the new measure under the general category of unqualified practitioners for they are sharply arrayed against them.

SCHMITZ URGED
 TO STAND FIRM
Exclusion League and Individual Cali- fOrnians Flood San Francisco Party in Washington With
 Telegrams.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Francisco School Board were again in conference today and formally agreed on the policy they will pursue in connection with the question of the Japanese and the San Francisco schools. The mayor and members of the board have refused to make any statement as what position they will take when they call at the White House tomorrow to confer with Pres ident Roosevelt and Secretary Root However to the Exclusion League to- night Mayor Schmitz declares the del- egation "has not made any arrange ments up to date of any kind.'
 More than 300 telegrams were re- ceived by Mayor schmitz and members of the board today urging them to stand firm for the exclusion of the Japanese coolies from the United States.
 A telegram received today by May or Schmitz from the president of the California Exclusion League in part reads:
 Morning papers announce in big headlines that Schmitz deserts labor for Japanese, mayor and School Board make complete surrender. We cannot and will not believe it. Exclusion by act of Congress. Treaty will not ex-
 clude. Sovereign rights must not be bartered away by promises and should not be basis for compromise. We will not yield one iota of our rights as sovereign people, regard less of cost or consequences"
 Mayor Schmitz's reply to this tele- gram in part follows:
 Telegram received. Announcement of morning papers absolutely false. Have made no arrangement up to date of any kind. Story false, like all other statements made about me. Have re- fused to give any statement to re- porters. President has refused also until conference completed, and is showing friendly spirit. I am Cali fornian, trying to do my duty to my state. Cannot succeed if hampered by hostile press of San Francisco"
 At tomorrow's conference the Cali fornians will present their views to President Roosevelt in writing, and final, definite agreement probably will not be reached until Tuesday. Sec- retary Root spent two hourse at the White House tonight discussing the school question with the president, and it can be authoritatively stated that the president tomorrow will as- sure Mayor Schmitz and the School Board that if they will agree to end the agitation by abolishing the Orien- tai school the president will in turn use his influence to secure treaty with Japan that will exclude the coolie labor from this country.

KENTUCKY'S WAY.

Jackson county, Kentucky, has earned a hard name because of it's gun plays, fueds and personal en- counters. So much has been said about it that the people have pre- pared a statement for the world. Their statement is. that the county is a good one; that it has 10,O00 neople and every one of them born in America. There is not foreign born person in the county. There is not single negro voter in the county. There is not a single Confederate veteran in the county. There Is no dis tillery, and there is no need for a poorhouse. There are no needy. There is not a saloon in the coun- ty. There is not dwelling, nor
