Farmers Who Advertise

The value of intelligent advertising
has come TO be 80 generally recognized
that the progressive farmers are making
use of it to help them in their business

would have cost him great deal OF time
aud money, and then perhaps have lett
him with some OF 1t unsold. Another
of its farmer friends told the News that
whenever he wished to either buy or sell
stock he advertised, and then he had
those with stock to sell or those who
wished to buy come to him, either per-
sonally or by letter, saving great ex-
pense in time and money. Still another
instance is given of q man who adver-
tised fresh eggs and shortly had line
of customers who took all his eggs at
price slightly in advance of the market
because of the absolute assurance that
they we're fresh.
Some time ago the newspapers through
out the country had the story OF young

The opposition of few prominent
men in this country regarding the
agreement of the leading men of the
United States, England and France to
urge unlimited arbitration, may be dis
counted. One or a dozen influential
men working might and main, as they
will work, to eliminate some provision
of arbitration will fail to commit
the Senate, as a whole body, to adverse
action. But even if strenuous opposi.
ton on the part of the Senate resulted
it could not for long arrest an impulse
toward universal peace, due to the now
general understanding of all civilized
peoples that war does not pay. The in.
defensible waste of resources of peoples,
which is against the best interest of all
ultimately, considered besides the
shameful immortality of internicine
strife in these times when concerted
action on the part of the leading peoples,
along other lines, could prevent barbar.
GUS tyranny. The less civilized nations
seeing that the leading peoples glorify
reason and forbearance rather than in.
vasion, conquest and spoilation, will
surely initiate such conduct even a,
they adopt our fashion in dress aud way,
of living. An agreement between tn,
United States and two other leadin,
powers and to which host of people, il
Germany, Russia and Japan incline i
as sure to set fashion in ethics as i
the glorious dawn to follow drear
night.
The opposition to the treaty as writ
ten is absolutely illogical and as a maj
ter of fact is based on perversity an
pride: there is no greater hinderance I

For some time past an investigation
of the effects, present and likely to hap
pen, of our Chinese exclusion law, has
been in process, If inquiry has con-
WINGED statesmen at the front that the
law in question must be less insulting
to the four hundred million of Chinese,
with whom this people have established
extensive trade relations, it hardly mat
tiers which one of the congressman under
took the duty. Senator Dillingham;,
although not now chairman of the COM
mittee on immigration, certainly knows
more of the matter in question, and the
duty naturally enough devolves upon
him. Unless impelled to the task, no
man having no direct interest in the case
would undertake measure over which
no one con feel the slightest degree of
enthusiasm. 1t is case where any
amount of argument, showing the real
injustice of the law as written, would
only leave us convinced against our
will, and therefore with our natural an
tipathy to the utterly alien Chineses
as lively as ever. Grant that sweep
ing exclusion law is likely to increase
the we'll known hostility of the Chimes,
to the white "foreign devils who have
practically invaded China, and gran
also that it is narrow and wicked Il

suffer, it will still be hard tor many t.
see that all circumstances of the kline
touch them as does the natural aversion
to working side by side with tn,
"skilled labor" to be admitted; for M
amount of education and change o
dress and habits makes Chinaman les
foreign, No other people are NOR
industrious none, viewed collectively, ar
more moral and yet repugnance as Il
their admission cannot be overcome
nor the increase in their numbers re

harm will come from hostility to tn
measure, and increased dislike shown t,
the Chinese already in this countr,
than would result from maintaining tn
law as written.

RUSSIA RETALIATES
WITH TARIFF WAR.
WILL RAISE DUTIES ON AMERICAN
PRODUCTS.
Bill introduced in Duma by Ex-President
Guchkoff Causes Concern in
Washington.

st. Petersburg.-A legislative pro-
posal to provide for tariff war schedules
applicable to the United States at the
expiration of the Russo-American treaty
of commerce navigation of 1882 has been
introduced into the duma by ex-Presi-
dent Guchkof and other signers, rep
resenting the Octoberist and National
ist parties, which control the majority
of the duma.
The bill proposes to raise existing
Russian duties by 100 per cent, and also
to impose a duty of 100 per cent on
articles which are admitted free under
the present Russian tariff. Besides these
impositions the bill proposes also to
levy double the gross weight tax estab-
lished by the law of June 21, 1901, on
merchandise arriving by the sea and to
levy double tonnage tax. Should the
present American tonnage tax be raised
to the disfavor of Russian vessels, then
the Russian tonnage take will be CORE
spondingly increased.
1t is said that the schedules are to be
applicable to all countries which do not
grant to Russia the most favored ma
tion treatment in commerce and naviga
ton.
