The Great Northern is no better off.
The Hill road officials asked the

SEEKS ESTIMATE ON
FEDERAL PROPERTY
Government Authorities Plan to Fa-
Vor Los Angeles with Depart
ments of Much Value
to City

w. II. Harrison, acting custodian of
the federal government property in Los
Angeles, has been besieged with offers
of sites for the proposed United States
SubtreaSury and customs building, fol-
lowing the request of the subtreaSury
department for figures on which to base
an estimate of the cost of such q
structure.
Mr.. Harrison has deemed it necessary
to explain that the sites themselves
are not desired by the government at
present, but the government merely
wants valuations on which to decide the
probable cost of the grounds and build
ing.
II am confident" said Mr.. Harrison
yesterday, that a suitable site can be
obtained within the amount appropri-
ated by congress for the subtreasury."
The appropriation voted by congress,
and provided in a resolution introduced
by Congressman McLachlan, is $1.500,
600 for site and building. The secretary
of the treasury is authorized by the
provisions of the bill, to acquire by
purchase, condemnation, or otherwise,
a suitable site to be used as sub
treasury, custom house, appraisers
! building and assay office, the site itself
not to cost less than $250,000.
The erection of the subtreasury
DullulnS III Los AHSeleS is VI SAII6llS
Importance, and means that this city
will be on an entirely equal footing in
the financial world with the city of
San Francisco.
In the transfer of funds, according
to Stoddard Jess, vice president of the
First National bank of Los Angeles,
the city will have peculiar advantage,
and the whole of Nevada, Arizona and
part of New Mexico and Utah, and as
far east as Ell Paso and Albuquerque,
will receive direct benefits from the
subtreasury in Los Angeles, as will Los
Angeles in particular and all of South
ern California.
In connection with the government
assay Office, to be established in the
same building, the subtreasury will
greatly enhance the mining and fin
ancial interests of the entire southern
portion of the state, as well as the
sections mentioned.
There may be some delay in procur-
ing a suitable site for the structure,
but the federal subtreasury building
is now certainty within the next ten
or twelve months.

SOCIETY NIGHT
AT AUTO SHOW
FEATURE OF EXHIBIT PLANNED
FOR EVENING
Dealers Rearrange Display and Entire.
ly New Lines of Machines and
Accessories Are to Be
Seen

The great licensed show in the giant
redwood forest that for five days has
done the honors to the general public
will receive that appreciative public's
party CALI tonight, and it's myriads
of lights will look down not only on
the costly decorations and handsome
cars, but on Southern Californias So
ciety leaders in all their splendor of
full dress. That it may be a dignified
yet thoroughly enjoyable society night
all the attendants, statesmen, demon
strators and exhibitors will be in formal
evening clothes or the comfortable
tuxedos. 1t is expected that the So
ciety feature will be one of the most
successful in connection with dhe show
and that it will bring out the largest
evening crowd of the week
Many of the dealers have rearranged
their displays or will switch in a num-
ber of new cars of different patterns,
so that those who saw the show earlier
in the week will have something new
to look at from now on: for all dealers
feel that they want to show everything
they have in stock at some time during
the exhibition.
The special rates granted by the rail-
roads and inducements by the electric
lines will result in several special par
ties in private cars coming to the city
for the show tonight. The assistance
rendered the show committee is appre-
ciated, for every public service cor
poration has done much to make the
exhibit a success. The freight depart
ments of the railroads have been par
ticularly obliging in getting carloads
of new machines through from the east
in time to be exhibited.
Every day something new in the edu-
cational advantages of the show are
brought out. 1t is not enough to study
the machines themselves, but also look
at some of the reasons why it is to the
interests of the dealers to make the
object lessons as comprehensive as pos
sible. Any dealer would rather sell
any man a machine who had some
knowledge of motor mechanism and
operation and of the working parts of
the machine in general. 1t pays to in
struct those who have not this knowl-
edge, for such a man in driving his
machine will make few mistakes and
greatly lessen the danger of wrecking
his car wholly or in part. Most ma
chimes are sold with stipulation as to
reasonable repairs being made for a
short time, and if the dealer does not
give the purchaser some general in
structions, expensive breaks may occur
that could have been avoided which
the seller is expected to make good.
| So great has been the interest shown in
the stripped chasses, showing the ma
chinery operated by electric power that
practically every exhibitor at the
| licensed show is considering the ad-
visibility of keeping a chassis at his
salesrooms permanently to be operated
when necessary to explain some point
| to the customer, for such actual demon
stration will require less time to sell
| the car.

Men Needed for Teachers.

According to the report in The
Herald last evening of the proceedings
of the state normal school board at
its Duluth meeting, that body is con-
sidering ways and means of tempting
more men to take the normal school
courses and adopt teaching as pro-
fession. It is indicated that action
will be taken at the November meeting
of the board with that end in view.
The board hardly could be better
occupied than in seeking to attract
men to the noble business of teaching.
Women make good teachers-Chi-
crgo's great school system is headed
by womBn-but there are not enough
men in the public schools. It isn't
necessary to worry about the theory
shat having too many women teachers
tends to feminine the school influences.
IN order to realize that the schools
need more men. There are functions
in connection with teaching that men
can perform better than wonderland
that doesn't necessarily mean the an
plication of corporal punishment.
either. Women have shown them
selves pretty apt at welding the birch.
as many painful memory attests:
but corporal punishment isn't so much
IN vogue as it used to be, and that is
well.
The schools need more men, and but
FOR one thing teaching is a calling
that offers a splendid opening for
young men of character who wish to
make themselves as useful as possible
TO society. That one thing is the
matter of pay. Society does not. as
yet, pay its teachers we'll enouph
The time is coming when it will.
Then, perhaps, more men will become

state normal board can achieve anv
changes that will attract more voung
men to the useful business of teaching
1t will be doing a fine public service
Surely, even though the pay is attrac-
tive in these days of tall figures, there
are some young men who have other
objects in view than money. And
whatever the pay, a young man who
enters the teaching profession solely
with salary in view has no busi,ess

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1910-08-24

In estimating the public career of
Theodore Roosevelt We are accustomed
to overlook his relation to Russia and
the bloody regime Of Nicholas.
We'knoW OF his connection with the
half-savage beast who rules the I'M
happy millions south of the Rio
Grande. We know that his dull
witted successor has been carrying
out the Roosevelt policies In turn
ing Mexican liberals over to the
Mexican hangman.
But what of Roosevelt and Russia,
and the part he played as sspeace-
maker" between Russia and Japan?
This one act of Roosevelt's, on
which much of his fame rests, proves
when analysed one of the blacklist in
his career.
The facts are that Russia was totter-
ing. The red flag, for the first time in
history, had been some months before
hoisted on one battleship and her guns
we're enlisted on the side of the revo-
luton. Uprisings were chronic in
many cities and provinces and the
army was constantly DESERVING. The
Russian revolutionists had already
warned European bankers that a
popular Russian republic would
repudiate the loans with which
Nicholas and his fellow butchers paid
their jailers, spies, Cossacks and
hangmen. Without these loans the
whole bloody despotism could not last
one year, for the Russian government
is practically bankrupt.
Port Arthur had fallen. General
Linevitch, the Russian commander,
was rapidly being cornered by the
sturdy little Japs. The bloody rule of
Nicholas hung in the balance. II it
went down in the CONFUSION the banks
of Berlin, London, Paris and other
money centers, who provided Nicholas

popular Russian republic would also
pass into the history the most power
full European despotism and give
courage to other fighters for freedom
that fringed its borders.
The European bankers became panic
stricken. Their blood money was
at stake. Their exiIes in the frozen
north; the martyrs rotting away in
vile military prisons, and the sur
vivors of Jewish massacres, looked
