THE YELLOW PERIL

Much ha, been published in the past few year, that has given occasion to fear that tht, country might eventually be overruu by the Chinese and others from those far eastern countries. It seems now from iutormation gathered from ,ae Time, of India tina. the dam ger i, Iarg. ..y imaginary. In India for the period O. ten year, between 1891 and l9Jl. rne growth in numbers of people Wa, but 2.+ per cent, while the growth of demand, for labor was far in exces, of that increase.
 It appears that through am increase of irrigation and the growth of manu- fac,uring indusrie, there has arisen a great shortage of labor Strange as it may seem, 1t i, stated that not too great population but too little is the case of India today. The whole Asi- atic world js being carried out of old conditions into new. China is likely to be affected in the same manner as India Only about one fourth of the great A,jatic continent is denSely populated. Scientific treatment of the supposedly waste lands will open up vast tracts of country for those people in their own land. New and better conditions will bring higher ideas of living and more prosperity among the working people. Instead of overflow ing onto this continent those old world people will find opportunity for devel- opment in their native land under con- ditions to which they have been born, and the much talked of yellow peril will soon have passed even from our thoughts.

Black Forest Customs

The peasant farms of the Black Forest are handed down from father to son in direct line, often dating back 400 years.
 There is no division as in France; all falls to the heir, only here it is not the eldest but the youngest son who inheritS. It is rare that a Bur .(peasant dies as reigning head. When he gets on in years he abdicates, in order to end his days in the Leib- gedingehaus (dower houSeE which stands beside each Hof (Steading).
 That he does so in favor of his youngest son is very sensible; were it the elder he would have no peace, for as soon as he married he would try to induce his parents to retire just at an age when power is sweetest and best exercised. For this reason the practi- cal farmers of bygone generations de- cided to hand over the succession to the youngest, since when BenJamin is a full grown man father Jacob is old and glad to rest.
 This law of inheritance goes by the name of Vortel. Should the heir of his own free will desire to resign in favor of his elder brother the latter must buy the property from him. In such a case the younger may be term ed kind of Esau.--The Antiquary.

honest and broad minded man more occupied in administering his off ce for the benefit of the people than in seeking his own political preferment, his position is such that he is seldom brought in contact with the commls- sioners. and hence has little opportu- nifty to know whether they are prop
 erly performing their duties or not.
 The district judges now have the ap- pointive power and with them it should rema,n. They are in frequent touch with the work of the commissioners whom they appoint and can annul the appolAtmeuJ when occasion demands. To place this power in the hands of the governor is to give him the oppor- tunity to surround himself with ap- pointeeS upon whom he can depend to further his political ambitions without any regard to their fitness for the office 10 which they are appointed. The office of United States commis- siouer in Alaska is a very important one and for that reason also should be kept as closely related as possible with the judges of the district court.

Coal Land Situation

Enormous areas of coal lands are still held in reserve by the govern ment, and strong efforts that have been made in Washington during the last winter to secure action by con gress and the interior department per- hitting these lands to be developed have proven unsuccessful. In several localities, notably in Alaska, the sit uation is distressing from a business and economic standpoint, for the coal properties have been thoroughly eX- amined, the country needs the coal, and nothing can be done toward de- veloping the fuel wealth of the region.
 In November, l9O6 vast withdrawals of coal lands were made by order of the president, the avowed object ot the withdrawals from entry being to prevent the formation of coal mining monopolies. The total withdrawals amounted to more than 60,000, 900 acres. Included in the withdrawals were lands in nearly all the western states and very large tracts in Alaska. Great deposits of Ignite exist in the prairie states of the west, especially in the Dakotas, and recently these have been regarded of great economic inn portance in view of investigations car ried on by the technologic branch Of the geological survey. According to the fuel experts of the survey, it is pos sible to convert Ignite into power on an economical basis by converting the coal into gas. It is declared that gas engines will largely supplant steam en- zines in large stationary manufactur- ing plants, and Ignite is as we'll adapt ed for making gas for use in gas en- zines as is the best quality of anthra- cite or bituminous coal.-Walter E.. Clark in P.-I.

CRITICISM OF PUBLIC MEN

No man in public office escapes criti- cism. President Lincoln was severely and uniustly criticised by members of his own cabinet aS we'll as by congress- men. Criticism often takes the form Of fault finding strongly tincJured with ignorance and shortsighteduess, as in tle case of Lincoln. President RooSe- welt is and has been subjected to Se- we're criticism. Much of it has come from his enemies anu those whom he b., cndeayorcd Co make amenable 10 t,, laws of the land Under criticism Roosevelt i, unlike Lincoln who held the even tenor of his way never deyla- ring so much as Co add one member ro rhe Auauils club. Perhaps in less strenuous times he would not have felt the necessity 50 often ot using the soft answer Co turn away wrath.
 In the criticism of the president some have gone So far as to say he K crazy on the subject of trusts. But to insist tha, the strong as well aS the weak. the rich as we'll as the poor shall obey the law is not the mark Of ,n unbalanced mind.
 There ha, been strong inclination on the par, of many % lay the cause oltbe rec,n, money panic Co the ac- foa of President Roosevelt against various combined moueyed interests wu.Ie without doub, the panic was broJgh, on largely by tine unr,ghteouN financial scheme, of moueyto men and ,hetr attempts to djscredtt the admin, is,ratiou.

TIME HE GREAT HEALER

! It is said that Mrs. Frank w. Steun-
 euberg, widow of eX-Goyernor Steun-
 enberg who was murdered by Harry 1 Orchard, signed the petition asking for
 the communication of Orchards sen tence. Her reason for SU doing was that she believed there was some good
 in the man yet.
 When grief is fresh in the mind, and one has suffered the loss of near friend through the daStardly act of some villain it is ditfcuIC to refrain from wishing that the Severest penalty may be meted out to the guilty party, and the wrouged oue would often will ] lingly take hand in it. But as time goes on the spirit of revenge that at first asserts itself becomes aSsuaged, and. as in the case of Mrs. Steunen- berg, the belief arises that in the man
 who haS been guilty ot great crime
 there still may be good which Is suh-
 feet to improvement. The pastime Of
 allicting punishment upon the guilty,
 which people formerly delighted in, no longer appeals to the normal mind.
 Even the state seems slightly ashamed of the part it has to play in diSposing of the criminal, and the more secret the execution is kept the less baneful it k considered will be the influence of it upon the popular mind. Time has softened the heart of man until the conviction steals in upou him that it is wrong to destroy human life for the sake of iuhicting punishment upon an offender against law and order. This conviction becomes stronger when 1t Is understood that the convicted criminal
 does not stand alone. A countless number of influences have contributed
 to make him what he is. Parties more guilty have escaped detection because of no overt act on their part, and it. k felt that the wrong doer should be placed where he can do no harm and given a chance to reShape ] his life and character.

THE SOURCE OF STRENGTH

There is an ancient story of two famous wrestlerS who met to try their skill. One had never been beaten, but when he came into the arena with his new antagonist he found he had apparently met more than his match, and was fast being winded. He notic- ed, however, that as he lifted his Op- ponent from the ground the opponent seemed to lose his strength, and quick ly discerning that the source of his foes power lay in being in contact with the earth, by a mighty effort he lifted him clear of the ground and holding him in the air saw his enemy grow weak and soon utterly collapse.
 This is only symbolic story which serves to teach the wholesome lesson that contact with mother earth is the source of individual as we'll as national strength. The early settlers on the Atlantic coast, who are so often re- ferred to as the sturdy New Eng landerS, were men and women in close touch with mother earth. The prime val forest was their home, and from the soil they must grow the grains and vegetables for their daily sustenance. The forests have been stripped from the hillside, the sparkling streams have ceased to flow, the soil has be- come less productive, the people have gathered into cities where all sorts of weakness of body and mind develop, and corrupt municipal life springs into being. The same condition prevails the world over.
 The old story is that man was made from the dust of the earth. Certain it is that he carries in his body the same elements that are found in the earth, and nature has decreed that he cannot desert his parent entirely and not suffer ill conseq uenceS.

Champagne From Apples

The whole output of evaporated apples has been sold by this firm at s cents pound, and will be shipped to the Northwest.

is KICKED BY HORSE.
Glen Logan Receives Fracture of
the Skull and is in Serious
Condition.

Glen Logan, aged Is years, was
kicked in the head by a horse at
his home near Linkville, Friday,
and received an injury which left
him in serious condition.
Young Logan was driving a
number of horses from the road
into the barnyard, when a horse
directly in front of him, raised on
its front feet and kicked at him
with its hind feet. A rough shod
hoof struck him directly over the
right eye. He was rendered I'M
conscious, and remained in that
condition over thirty minutes. A
physician was, summoned from
Plymouth. He found that the
outer table of the skull over the
right eye was badly fractured, and
a section of the bone, an inch
square. had been removed.
The hole was large enough to
admit the insertion of the thumb.
The injury was pronounced to be
very serious, as the large cavity
may affect the brain.
Glen Logan is a member of the
Plymouth High School class of
90 and is we'll known in this city.

How to Know a Mad Dog.

Hydrophobia is in reality so
rare and SO terrifying that its
symptoms and treatment are hit
tie understood. AS 4 matter of
fact, the commonly accepted eN-
preston of madness in a dog is
often misleading. The real mad
dog does not silun water, as it is
said. On the contrary, mad dogs
often rush to the water and drink
eagerly, if they are able to swal-
low. The mad dog does not
froth at the mouth. 1t does not
run amuck, swapping at every
thing in its path. What, then,
are the indications of the mad
dog3 To those familiar with a
given dog the surest symptoms
and the one which would excite
closest attention is distinct and
unaccountable change in the
dogs dispositon-a staid cog be-
coming excitable and a risky
one dull. That condition does
not necessarily mean rabies, but
it is suspicious, and if, in addi-
ton, the dog has trouble in swal-
lowing-as though it seemed to
have a bone in its throat-be-
ware! That dog should be in
stantly tied up, because if it be
rabies it takes but a day or two
for ferocious instincts to develop.
The unmistakable evidence, how
ever, of dog with rabies is the
sticky, whitish saliva which COW
ers the teeth and shows on the
drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxysms
of running fury, during which it
barks hoarsely, which alternate
with periods of temporary ex.
