TAFT IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

South Dakota has been greatly given
over 10 what is known as Insurgency
and was not expected 10 prepare on the
ground Of political sympathy a warm
welcome for President Taft but that
did not prevent the President from car
rying 20 the people Of that state the
message on the tariff and other
issues which he considered it his duty
20 deliver. and on the whole the mes
sage was well received
on the train in which he rode
through the state he did not talk poll
tics, for there were conflicting ele-
ments among his travelling compan-
ions, apd it would have done no good.
For instance, there was Senator Gam
bic, who is a strong Taft man. and
Senator Crawford who Is bitterly hos
tile 70 the Presidents policies in prac-
tically every particular. There was
also Governor Wesley, who wants
South Dakota TO send a La Toilette
delegation 10 next years national con-
vention.
Senator Gamble predicts that Presl-
dent Taft viii receive the votes OF a
majority Of the states delegation Of
ten. The senator himself will 20 be-
fore the people next year as a candl-
date for their votes at the primary
election.
At most Of the places where the
train stopped the crowds at the sta
tions were agricultural. and the Presi-
dent chose 10 address them on farming
topics When he reached Senator
Crawford's town Of HURON. however,
after receiving a cheering welcome
from the boys Of the college at that
place, he made a tariff speech before a
crowd Of three thousand people. The
President went over the familiar
ground. Senator Crawford listening.
and concluded as follows:
No man in my place could have done
anything but veto these bills. have
told you the reasons why. You may
condemn me or not, as you think YOU
ought 10 do, | will have TO abide by
your verdict
The dispatch describing the incident
states that a cheer went up as the
President stepped from the stand. He
deserved the cheer. The people Of
south Dakota are likely to understand
him better and think more OF him now
that he has met them face TO face and
given them his reasons for his tariff
policies.

THE HATED mANcHUs.

Much OF the unrest and political
ldisaffection in China in recent years
has been due TO the underlying current
OF race hatred which the native Chin
csc have had for the Manchu dynasty
and its empire wide network OF OFF,
cials. says the New York Press. Al
| though the ManChus swept down from
the north and took possession Of the
Chinese throne nearly 800 years ago.
there has been little mixing Of their
blood with that Of the native Chinese
and the two peoples have existed side
by side, two continually clashing ele-
ments.
The Manchus were originally called
in 10 assist in suppressing internal
troubles which threatened the over
throw Of the Ming dynasty. Their
work done, they refused 10 withdraw
but proceeded TO conquer the country
for themselves. In 1913 they pro-
claimed the son Of their own ruler as
the first emperor Of a new dynasty.
the tenth emperor Of which now
reigns.
The Manchus have ruled China on
Chinese lines OF polity and in recent
years have made many efforts TO con-
ciliate the natives. \ few years ago
"a was said that Of the IA officials
then forming the supreme government
of the empire only thirty-two were
Manchus. In the provincial admins
trations the proportion Of Manchus
chosen in the last FIVE years has been
not more than one-hfth Of the whole
number
The real reason for this change.
however. may be undoubtedly found in
the marked superiority Of the Chinese
in mental equipment and in capacity
for administration. Practically all the
high Chinese officials rise through
long course Of promotions from the
junior ranks. and most Of the Man
chus have found themselves out
stripped early in the race by the
Chinese
The recent widespread movement for
the cutting of Of the queue OF pigtail
appears 10 be a part Of the native
crusade against Manchu domination.
The wearing Of the queue is one OF
the few really distinctive Manchu
customs which the conqueror enforced

WAGES IN GREECE.

There is a prevalent notion that the
wages i'm Greece are very much lower
than it is in the United States. The
notion probably had its origin many
years ago and was based upon super
fetal observations Of travellers The
mere fact that hundreds of thousands
Of emigrants leave southern Europe
for America every year would seem to
indicate that the economic conditions
of ordinary life are easier in America
than in southern Europe.
The following statements of daily
wages i'm the different fields of ordi-
nary labor i'm Greece and the cost of
necessities on the retail markets may
be of interest: Clerks i'm offices re-
ceive up 10 $40 and clerks in stores up

ELECTRIFIED CHILDREN.

Interesting investigation into the eff
fects Of electricity upon the develop
ment Of school children have recently
been made in Stockholm. The walls
and ceilings Of a schoolroom were lin
ed with coil Of wires through which
q high frequency current was passed.
The children in the room were thus in
the position Of an iron core in the CEN
ter Of a magnetizing coil.
Fifty children were kept in this
room, while fifty others Of the Same
average age. size and mental develop
ment were kept in an adjoining room
without electrical treatment. 1t is stat .
ed that at the end OF six months the
children under the electrical treatment
showed an average growth of two inch
es, while those without electricity grew
only l Ia inches.
The electrified children showed an
Increase in weight and other forms of
development in proportion to their
height. The electrified children also
showed an average proficiency in their
studies OF 80 per cent, and fifteen of
them showed 100 per cent. The I'M
electrified children. on the other hand,
were only 75 per cent proficient on the
average, and not one Of them reached
100 per cent.
1t should be added that the electri-
fed children appeared to be much
brighter quicker and more active.
They were prompter i'm attendance and
much less subject to fatigue. The
teachers also showed superior working

ARTHUR M. EVANS WRITES IN.
TERESTING ARTICLE ON
MlcHlGAN'S GREAT
INSTITUTION.

Ann Arbor. Mich, oct. ETH,
chronicles of the University of Michi-

Arthur NJ. Evans, in an article writ
ten for the Chicago Record Herald
Although it is only 20 years ago that
the first freshman class-six in mum
ber-was enrolled. the annals run back
to Aug. 2G, 1917. when the first act
was passed to establish a university In
the territory Of Michigan.
When the founders reached about
for a name for the prospective instl-
tuition they plucked a ripe and lusc-
ious one. They christened it the
"Catholepistemiad, or University OF
Michigania." The author of the Cath
olepistemiad" was Augustus b. Wood

court of the territory and a man OF
scholarly attainments and wide vision

some savants incline to the belief t'/t
Judge Woodward was indulging a
bent for humor i'm perpetrating the
high sounding "Catholepistemiad.'
Others content that he wass merely
erratic, and that his unique wording
of the act of 1917 was simply a dem
onstration of that pseudo classic man
la that prevailed i'm the early days OF
the last century. This craze is re-
fected i'm such names as Utica, Troy
Athens and Syracuse 1t was still in
its glory when the tide of western i'm

or, decorated the Illinois band with
such names as Metropolis, GolconJa
and Cairo.
An objectionable Jawbreaker.
Judge Woodward, however, was not

unpronouncable jawbreaker that II
