past few months they have taken hold of
Corea and are exploiting 1t, and their
plans look toward the control of the
great trade of China. Under them Man
churia has already become the great COM
mercial battlefield of the nations-and the
end Is not yet.
Indeed the material and political
changes going on in eastern Asia are such
that our state department has recently
established a bureau devoted to the far
east Our war and navy departments are
alive to the new conditions. and it Is an
open secret that our big fleet was sent to
girdle the Pacific as an object lesson.
All these things are but straws which
show how the international winds are
blowing. They relate to a situation which
is not known nor appreciated by the
American people, to a mighty revolution,
now in embryo, which in the industrial
and military complications which 1t Is
bound to bring, is sure to affect us, not
only as nation, but as individuals.
1t is to give our readers the truth as
to these matters that we, in combination
with several other leading newspapers,
have sent Mr.. Frank G.. Carpenter to in
vestigate and report upon them. Mr. Car
penter has already left the United States
and is now travelling in Japan. From
there he will make his way northward into
Corea and thence overland through Man
churia into China He will spend some
time in Seoul and Mukden, and going on
by rail to PelSin, will traverse a great
part of the Chinese empire. Later on he
may make his way through Siam, Bur-
nah, Hindustan, Palestine and Turkey.
The results of his Investigations will be
forwarded to us from week to week. and
they will appear as illustrated letters in
the Age-Herald from Sunday to Sunday
throughout the year. No one who hopes
to keep abreast with the times, and the
! live movements which are going on in the
world today, can afford to miss these
! letters.

PASSING OF THE MARINES.
How Presidents Order Is Regarded by
The New York World.

From the New York World.
President Roosevelts order to with
draw the marines from the warships
might as well be an order abolishing the
force. A bill to the latter effect was in
troduced in Congress a FEW years ago,
but was buried when the gallant record
of the marine corps was presented elo-
quently to the House.
Naval officers have long objected TO the
presence of marines on board their ships.
The antipathy of the sailors to seagoing
soldiers runs still further back and is
traceable to one of the original offices

Although the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst has
retired as New York's moral censor, he
has left within him few more ticks for
the good of humanity. His latest crusade
is directed against the prevailing style or
rather size of millinery. Before begin
ming his sermon last Sunday in the Madi-
son Square Presbyterian church DR.. Park
hurst read the following:
THE following admonition is prompted
not by the sense of the general fitness Of
things, but by very determined complaints
made by members of this congregation.
ut is not so absolutely essential, per-
haps, to the success of a sanctuary SER
vice that there be an unobstructed view
between the pew and the chancel as it is
IL tne success of a theatrical or operate
performance that there be an unobstruct-
ed view between the boxes and the stage;
but in the former case, as in the latter
seats are arranged with the intention of
affording to their occupants an unhin-
dered outlook upon the platform, and any
lady who decorates herself in a way to
defeat that intention commits theft upon
the rights OF those seated behind her-a
theft not tolerated in the theatre, and a
theft which Christian consideration ought
to render impossible in the sanctuary"

Europe Wants Our Grapes.

Vice Consul. L. Fl. Munier of Geneva
sends a clipping from a Swiss newspaper
from which it is noted that more mod
ern methods of grape culture are being
adopted in Switzerland. The old Vine
yards have been attacked by philoxera,
In fighting which the government has al
ready spent $4s2, 800. Now It Is decided to
replace the old vines with the more ro-
bust American vines. TO aid the plant
eIs in the substitution, the government
has voted an annual appropriation of
7a6500, to extend over q period of 60 years.

The World once more brings up the
question, What shall we do with our ex-
Presidents?" The President, however high
may have been his services, becomes at
the end of his term an ordinary citizen.
He is unrewarded and undstinguished.
Grant Joined Wall street firm of stock
brokers: Cleveland became a consulting
attorney and later a trustee Of the Equit-
able Life Assurance society; Harrison
went back to practice at the bar, and Mr..
Roosevelt is to become an advisory editor
of the Outlook. The World protests
against the system that makes such
things necessary; it argues that the dig
nifty OF the office of President is low
cred If the occupant is thrust out at
the end of his term to earn his living as
best he can. 1t proposes that ex-Presi-
dents be given a seat In the Senate and
a pension of $4,000 year-half pay.
New York has produced a master beg
gar in William Abbott Foster, who num-
bered his dupes by the score. Foster
wrote whining epistles to rich men: his
usual tale was that some investment
would net him millions If he could only
get a few thousand dollars to enable him
to hold on. The contributions resulting
from these letters were sufficient to keep
him and his wife In luxury for years.
In carrying on his operations-to make
himself strength was not unusual for
him to bargain for 100000 yachts, to hire
special Pullman trains and negotiate
leases for expensive whole floors in tall
o'~'co buildings. He even directed his
begging letters to men like Andrew Car
negie ana John D. Rockefeller, and, as is
always the case with such swindlers, he
fooled men far cleverer than himself 1t
seems that there are always ready vic

JACOBSON STANDS PIT.

q - 80. ~ ~ II =. = N, -. ~
Nothing would please the enemies OF
J. F. Jacobsonssmore than to have
him abandon his policy of maintain
ing digniied silence, rush into print
and engage in newspaper discussion
with his puny assailants. Mr.. Jacob
son is wise. He persistently refuses to
walk into the trap that the schemers
have set and so cunnjngly baited. He
stands on his unassailable record.
That record is known to the people of
the state and they approve of it. They
know if he is. governor of Minnesota
every individual and every interest
will get "square DEAL" They know
that he will be ''unaw'd by influence
and unbrib'd by gain.'' The course
Mr.. Jacobson is pursuing in his cam
paign for the republican nomination
for governor meets with the hearty
approval of the thinking people of the
state. He believes in the people and
the people believe in him. He occupies
an almost impregnable position and
the efforts of his opponents to dislodge
him will prove. unavailing.

Gently held up by the state inspectors

the requirements of law. But how?

Pie Social and Dance,

The M. B. A. members had bushels
of fun at their regular meeting in
Wyanett on Saturday night. Every
brother had been notified to bring a
pie of his own baking, without assist
ance from his wife or anyone else, and
the ladies we're permitted to select
their own partners when the eating of
these pies commenced. Thirty-eight
pies were laid on the table-good, bad
and Indifferent white and yell
low pies-pies which looked like rub
ber-pies with burned crusts and pies
that were doughty. Some of the ladies
almost tainted when they found what
they were up against at the festal
board, while others shook with laugh
ter. But they all pitched in and tried
their best to eat, nibbling on the pies
and washing down the stuff with coffee.
After they arose from the table it was
estimated that fragments sufficient to
make at least thirty-fve pies were
thrown out of. doors.I A prize was
given for the best pie, but the maker
desires his name kept a secret. The
judges were Mrs! Louis Erickson,
Mrs. D. Findell and Mrs. S. j. Smith.
At the conclusion of the feast a
dance was given and pleasant time
passed until midnight. 81

By vote of 167 to 46 the house
voted down the bill providing for the

They maintain that when the canteen
existed there was no drunkenness
among the inmates of the soldiers
homes, but now that the old veterans
are compelled to 60 down town for
their drinks they sometimes become
intoxicated they drink vile stuff

menced none too soon it's process of
wedding out and ejecting from the
mails pseudo farm journals which
mislead instead of instruct the tillers

class of publications at issue are un-
worthy of the name. They are mere
advertising sheets, and the advertis-
ing is of a very unreliable nature at
that. 'Air' line promoters, wildcat

Germs and similar impostors use such
sheets to carry on their disreputable
business-to gull the farmers. The
subscription rates of these papers are
small, but this is of no moment to the
publishers-theira aim is to obtain a
large circulation and thus command a
high price for advertising the wares
of swindlers. Then, again, the fellows
who edit these sheets know no more
about farming than horned toad
does about the works of Confucius.
