COUNTRY WIDE LABOR
DAY OBSERVANCE

New York, Sept. 4.-Today's obsery-
ance OF the day set apart for the toll
ers is declared by labor leaders to be
the most general since the establish
ment of the holiday. Only quarter of
a century has passed since a few
"cranks" and "agitators" in this city
issued call for all workmen to join
in the observance of Labor Day." and
the first Monday in September was
chosen as the date. The first parade
started with less than a hundred men,
amid the boots and jeers of the crowd,
but the "cranks" plodded stubbornly
on and before the end OF the route
was reached thousands had joined the
ranks.
The Labor Day" idea caught on inn
mediately and 1t was made a general
holiday, first in New York and later by
all the states ands territories. Today's
parade in New York was the biggest
lyet held.

Five big circuses are making con-
tracts for railroad transportation
through Texas. Some of them will
pass through Bryan, but whether or
not they will stop depends. 1t devel-
oped last year that there was differ
ence of opinion among the business
men as to whether circus is benefit
or detriment to town. 1t would not
be bad idea for the city council or
the Commercial Club to take this mat
ter up and ascertain which side has
the majority. 1t is not trifie, but a
matter of sufficient Importance to
justify discussion and deliberate ac-
ton.

The setting forth Of a right of this
kind means evidently the right to i'm
pose such duties in Mongolia, and prob
ably within the Chinese jurisdiction. The
claim that Russians shall enjoy special
privileges OF trade and dutyfree com
merce in Mongolia in the region north of
the wall assumes a commercial con
quest that Russia now wishes TO clinch.
The demand for Russian consulates and
due respect to be paid to them by the
local Chinese authorities evidently
means that the Chinese authority shall
be superseded by the Russian author
ity whenever any difference of opin
ION arises. The assertion of the right
of Russians to acquire real estate and
TO erect structures in Mongolia and the
provinces outside of the wall, means,
of course, further Russian encroach.
mcnts. The claim that Russians in
China shall be entitled to extra
territorial rights appears to he no more
than the assertion of the privilege fully
conceded there and which is being act
cd upon right along. But probably
there is something hidden in this por-
tion of the demand that will serve as
foundation for further claim later
on.
it rs evident, however, that Russia is
making the same sort Of advance In
Mongolia that she made in Manchuria
soon after the war between Japan and
China. Russia pushed her occupancy
of Manchuria and refused to get ont
even after agreeing to evacuate. The
same tactics are evidently in play in
Mongolia And China, in place of be-
ing the aggrcssor, is most assurcdly the
victim of aggression. 1t is not easy
to see, either, how the powers Of the
world are going to stop that aggression,
because it would be so very difficult
TO find out just where Russia in fact
belongs, and to define the boundary
that ought to be fixed 1t is an ugly
situation, in which China is bound to

RUSSIAN JUDGING" ON CHINA

We Judge that the demonstration Of
Russia against China means primarily
that Russia has been making encroach-
ments in Mongolia. has been capturing
trade, and, in fact, setting up sort
of suzeralnty over various sections of
that vast province, and is afraid that
China might make fuss about it, un-
less Russia "hollers' first It has
been understood for "A long time that
Russia was gradually working its way
towards the great Chinese wall, and that
she intends to set up a claim of iuris-
diction as far as that wall in certain
parts of western Mongolia: the specific
proposition set forth by Russia in fact
indicates that that is Just the trouble.
The appeal is made to the treaty Of
1881, which was to run, il appears, for
thirty years, and is about to expire.
Nobody seems to know exactly what
Russia has been doing under that
treaty, but China evidently suspects
the worst, and has probably begun an
investigation that is obnoxious to Rus
sia. Russia s claim of right to impose
import and export duties has an ex.
tremely suspicious look II indicates
the assumption of sovereignty where
sovereignty might reasonably be dis
puted. There could be no question of
Russia's right to thus impose duties
within. Immediate Russian territory,
