larry among those who love to antici-
pate the greatness Of China when the
sleeping dragon awakes, we're It not
for another expert opinion on Chinese
affairs. Sir Robert Hart is unques-
tionably the best informed white man
concerning Chinese affairs. He is an
English officer, but has spent nearly
fifty years in China, creating and man
aging the Chinese customs and having
a power in the nation above that of
any individual, the emperor alone ex-
cepted. Sir Robert sees nothing but
good to come out of the awakening of
China. In a recent article on the sub
ject of the Chinese as a fighting posi-
bility, Sir Robert Hart says:
China would turn round to the rest OF
the world and say, Gentlemen, there must
be no more fighting They would throw
in the force of their arms with the country
that was attacked and against the country
that made war, and he believed that In
that way the millennium would come.
Sir Roberts prediction is in entire
keeping with the character of the Chi
nese people. They are opposed to war
and fighting, although they have had
their instructions and their conflicts,
due largely to religious differences,
and never to desire for territorial
aggrandizement or for mere conquest.
Their teachings for 1900 years have
been in the direction Of peace and if
they ever organize an army of formid-
able proportions it will be an army of
defense and not of offense. 1t would
be a curious urn in world history
should the Chinese learn the art Of
wal only to practice it in forcing other
civilized" nations to abolish war.

The last session of the legislature
in Massachusetts, passed a law which
begins:
Whoever operates al automobile or a
motorcycle on any public way or private
way laid out under the authority of law
recklessly or while under the influence OF
liquor, or so as TO endanger the lives or
safety OF the public, etc.
The courts have just held that an
automobilist can do As he pleases SO
long as he is on a road that had not
been laid out under the influence OF
liquor" Apparently the lawmakers
should be more careful about scatter
ing their commas.

THE MUCK-RAKERS
AND THE COLLEGE
tBy Associated Press. I

Denver, July S.-"The college
muck-raker has said, and has proved
his point, that college education to-
day is chiefly notable for its inef-
fectiveness." said John H. T. Main,
president of Iowa College, Grinnell
Iowa, in an address before the De-
partment of Higher Education of the
National Education Association, to-
day But like all epigrammatic
statements, this is not the only thing
that can be said and proved about
college education. 1t may also be
shown that it is the most effective
method in existence for acquainting
men with the world and making
them efficient agents in it.
The college bred man is under
normal conditions the superior man,
but he may be produced at too great
expense when we consider all the
time and labor and money spent upon
him Efficiency has a definite rela-
tion to cost of production.
Lack of efficiency in college edu-
cation is largely due to absence of
inner-community life in our colleges.
This is due to diversity of interests
cultivated by the elective system, the
large and rapidly growing number of
tOuTStS lnt tDStHtt VI Il
definite controlling purpose in the
institution as whole. the profess
sional and technical methods that too
often characterize the work, the alb
3ence of relationship between
teacher and pupil on personal basis,
and finally the absence of genuine
desire for a unified spirit and life.
ITO correct this condition there
must first of all be a genuine desire
for inner-community life. A strong
purpose looking to this end will
achieve it. There must be an insti-
tutional spirit developed by strong
personalities in administrative and
teaching positions. There must be
organization of the elective system in
such a way as to secure unity OF
spirit. particularly in lower classes,
The college must at times work as a
college on the intellectual and spirit
ual side as well as on the side OF
athletics and general activities. In
the modern college the problem is
difficult one. but when We determine

Railroad freight agents represent
ing railroads affiliated with the Am
erican Railway association which in
cludes roads having a total mileage
of about polio miles, have received
copies of revised rules for the trans
portation of inflammable materials
and acid. These rules are made as a
further step toward adding to safety
of railroad operation, and are sup
Elementary to the rule of the inter-
state commerce commission effective
last April for the transportation of
explosives. The regulations were
formulated by Colonel b. w. Dunn,
U. S. A. chief inspector of the bureau
for the said transportation of eN-
plosives for the American Railway
association. The particular purpose
is that the shipper shall know the
true characteristics of his shipment,
and familiariZe himself with the re-
quirements of the regulations in or
der that he may inform the carrier
by means of prescribed certificates
and labels. The Importance of the
regulations may be realized from the
fact. ii is stated, that there are in
this country more than / so factories
the combined product of which in the
course of one year is over 500,0O0,-
600 pounds of explosives. In 1905
it is said a single railroad in this
country transported over 9l,000,00C
pounds of explosives, using for the
purpose 10000 cars.

MOUSE T0STOP
IN THIS Valley

A most convincing and positive
proof of the fact that this valley and
city suffers from the reports scattered
throughout the east to the effect that
orchards here are selling at the rate
of 1000 an acre, was called TO The
Sentinel's attention today by S B.
Hutchinson of the realty firm of
Rich Hutchinson.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Hutchinson
was at the depot to see a friend off
on the Montrose train. He struck
up an acquaintance with a stranger
who was waiting for the train. The
stranger said that he was from an
eastern state and that he was looking
for a new location and was on his way
to Delta to look at fruit lands.
Mr.. Hutchinson asked him if he
had seen the country around Grand
Junction.
No" replied the stranger, There
is no need of me stopping off here
with land selling at $4,000 an acre
cant stand that and as fruit lands
are cheaper in the Delta country
will go up there
We'll | can sell you good fruit
lands for 500 an acre in most any
part of this valley" declared Mr..
Hutchinson, and the stranger opened
his eyes in sincere surprise. He then
told Mr. Hutchinson that the under
standing he had was that the good
land here was selling at 1000 to S4,-
600 an acre and that a man of small
means could not consider buying or
ehard lands here.
1t didn't take Mr.. Hutchinson long
to convince the stranger that 81 900
is the maximum acreage price paid
here for bearing orchards and that
only occasionally is sale at that
rate made.
The result was that the stranger
passed up his trip to Delta yesterday,
remained over and yesterday was
taken for a drive through nearly ev-
cry orchard district of the valley by
Mr., Hutchinson and when night came
the easterner was convinced that good
lands could be purchased here at
reasonable price per acre and he en-
Enthusiastically declared that the valley
is one of the richest, finest and most
promising sections he ever saw. He
is now seriously considering locating
here.
