made up his mind one day to work
a form of auto suggestion on his=yie-

He had been camping on Browns
trail winter and summer, all to M
purpose. Now he was going to stop
all monkey business and show Brown
that he could have made him come
through long ago, but was just en-
deavoring in his plain. unassuming
way To be the gentleman.
He came into Browns office with
the air OF a man who knows what he's
about or would like TO learn the reason
why. He pulled out a long sheet OF
paper. drew chair up alongside the

will lose their market by greed if there

We often hear that it is Impossible
for the individual buyers of the coun-
trv to organize against oppressive
prices. That is true, though they
have sent greedy producers into bank

when high prices and abused credit
have brought on a panic. But the con-

come into direct contact with the ulti-
mate consumer and feel his first revolt
can organize like the bakers.
If retail dealers in other food and

ers have organized to buy flour, some
thing interesting might come of it.

WHATS TIE CONSTITUTION
BETWEEN FRlENDS?"

Deliberate violation of the cOnSti-
tutoin by the Minnesota legislature
to serve local or private interests at
the cost of all the people has received
a wholesome check in the supreme
court.
Members of the last two legislatures
knew perfectly we'll that they were
violating the constitution when they
voted large sums of money from the
state treasury for internal improve
ments, either in the state fair grounds
or on local roads and bridges. They
depended upon the sticking together
of all who profit by these violations to
prevent their being challenged in the
courts.
1t was the old principle laid down
by a Tammany politician, Whats the
constitution between N'iends?" when
friends are banded together to make
private profit for all by treating it
with contempt The principle broke
down. as it always does, by the over
weening growth of private and local
greed beyond the most extreme means
Of gratifying it by breaking the law
Demand for appropriations increased
till it was impossible to satisfy all.
Then the disappointed appeated to the
courts in reveng2l and the whole sys-
TEN broke down.
The constitution provides a direct
and legal way of road Improvement
which legislatures would not use be-
cause members could not profit by
alloting money where it would help
them politically. Hereafter they must
use that method or none. If roads are
not built Systematically and effective
ly, undd- general state direction, they
will not be built at ALL and the tax
payers money will be saved

TUBERCULOSIS AMONG oUINI-
AULTS.

Anew bulletin on tuberculosis among
certain Indian tribes, issued by the bu-
reau of American ethnolOgy, contains a
chapter on the Quiniaults of Washing
ton. DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, assisted by DR.
p. B. Johnson, bacterologist. conducted
an investigation of five tribes under the
Joint auspices of the office of Indian af-
fairs and the Smithsonian institution in
the summer of 1908 For the investiga-
tion five tribes in which tuberculosis is
most prevalent were selected. They are
the MenOminee. Oglala Sioux Quiniault
Or Hrdlicka spells it Quinaielt, Hupa
and Mohave.
The mOrbidity and mortality from all
forms of tuberculosis among the Tndi-
ans exceed those among the whites and
even exceed those among the Ameri-
can negroes. The Office of Indian af-
fairs has already put into effect some of
the suggestions contained in the report
of DR.. Hrdlicka. To gather data for the
report the five tribes were visited DR..
Hrdlicka went into the homes of the
Indians. studied their habits of living
and made physical examinations. DR.
Johnson examined sputum to ascertain
whether tuberculosis germs were pres
emit The Indians were glad to cooper
ate in the investigation, for they felt
that it might bring them relief from
the dread white plague. The Indians
feel utterly helpless against the dis
ease and it was observed that the
younger Indians soon became hopeless
of a cure and lack the hopeful dispo-
sition common among white persons
afflicted with tuberculosis.
Tho Quiniaults. the report says, arc
quite advanced in civilization. They
live in frame dwellings and dress as dc

KOREANS QUIETLY
ACCEPT REMOVAL
WILL NOT OFFER ANY PROTEST
AT REMOVAL OF JUDICIAL
AUTHORITY TO JAPAN.
Now That Terms of the Agreement
Are Understood Fears of Any
Disturbance at End.

SEOUL, July 16.-The hews of the
new agreement between Japan and
Korea arranging for the transfer of
Korean judicial authority to Japan is
being quietly accepted here now that
its terms are fully understood. 1t
was feared that some disturbance
might follow the public misapprehen-
sion that the disbanding of the court
guards was included in the abolition
of the Korean war office Now that
it is known generally that the guards
are not to be discharged but merely
are to be placed under the command of
the empOru's aide de camp, the cause
for Uneasiness has been removed.
It is believed that the convention
between the two countries relative to
the transfer was signed July II. The
provisions of the document, besides
the changes mentioned, looks to the
control of Korean prisons by the Jap
aHeSe.

ORGANIZATION OF THE BUYING
SIDE.

The bakers of the country have set
an example to the whole body of out
ragged and oppressed consumers by or
ganizing business on the buying side
This is the only way to meet organiza-
ton in producing and selling. So long
as manufacturers and traders combine
to control production and prices, the
buyers for consumption will be ground
between them till they learn to meet
combination with combination.
Organization is the secret of sue
cess in modern industrial life. It

ate freely on the floor. From the spu-
tum DIR. Hrdlicka thinks there is no
question that a good deal of infection
is carried by flies to the food left on
the table between meals.
The Quiniaults are not filthy people,
vet there is room for Improvement.
Consumptives associate constantly with
others. They sit in the same room,
which is tightly closed in winter, and
they expectorate on the floor. When
DR. Hrdlicka visited the tribe it had
no agency physician and white physi-
clans were many miles away.
The custom of pipe passing is de-
cried by the government experts, as is
also the custom Of passing spoons and
other utensils in handling food. The
Indian does not understand the dan
gers of overwhelming a room in winter
and efforts should be made to instruct
him in this matter. Then, too, the In
dian seems to like the white Hndll
dress So we'll that he wears more cloth
ing than he needs and thus becomes
more susceptible to the disease.
The prevention of tuberculosis among
Indians is an essential part of the gen.
eral campaign against the disease, for
the Indians are in frequent communlca-
ton with the whites and are source
of contagion. If it be true, as is gen
orally believed, that contact OF the
whites introduced tuberculosis among
the Indians, it is peculiarly the duty of
the whites now to do all within their
power to save the Indians from the dis
ease.

The first loads of wheat to be re-

in yesterday from near the state line.
Three loads were hauled to as many
different mills, totaling about IS
sacks.
The price paid to George Cochrane,
who sold his wheat to the City Mills,
was 81 per bushel, while the other
farmers are reported to have received
the same price. From now on wheat
will be brought in regularly, as har-
vest has been on for a week, and
farmers generally prefer to sell while
good prices are assured rather than to
hold their wheat for higher prices,
which are uncertain.
