Came to Hear Russell.

VIM. 3. Lee and wife, their two
sons, Rudolph and Ray, and Mr..
Berg, County Auditor Of Todd Coun-
ty, motored from Long Prairie last
Sunday for the express purpose Of
attending the lecture on Soldiers
Of the Common Good" delivered by
Charles Edward Russell. They
were highly pleased with the lecture
and complimented Willmar on it's
Assembly Grounds and Auditorium.
When the Assembly procures attrac-
tions like Russell that will draw
people from a distance Of Is miles,
it seems almost a shame that SO
many citizens of our own town do
not appreciate the Assembly.

WILLMAR WINS LONG GAME.

AdSt f1HufSudy dlCerQOOn, Ill one
of the best games ever played in
Willmar, the local base bali team de-
feated Granite Falls by score Of
5 to 4, in 19 innings.
From the first inning, it was a
splendid pitchers battle between
'1Mellie" Johnson for the locals and
Bethel for Granite Falls, with the
honors going to the former.
Neither side was able to score un-
til the third inning, when Lien Of
Granite walked, stole second and
went to third on an overthrow, scor-
ing on. a sacrifice hit. Willmar tied
the score in the fifth when "Buck"
johnson singled, was sacrificed to
second and scored on Branches two
sacker. In the sixth Willmar scored
again on hit by Coppersmith, an.
other by M. Johnson and Dalen's
sacrifice. Two more were added in
the seventh on base on balls, an
out and a couple Of errors by the
Granite infeld. The visitors rallied
in the eighth and tied the score, a
base on balls, an error, a couple Of
fielders' choice and a hit doing the
business. Granite threatened again
in the ninth when the first two men
hit safely, but here t'Mellie" tight
ened up and famed two men and
caused the third to pop weakly to
the infeld. In the fourteenth Fisher
the first man up for Granite hit over
Dalen's head for two bases, but was
caught at third trying to stretch it
into q triple, ION q beautiful relay,
Dalen to Buck" johnson to Downs.
In the fifteenth for Willmar, Branch
hit and J. Holmberg got in on an
error, but both were forced. In the
nineteenth with one out, a base on
balls, an error by the pitcher and
Joe Holmberg's long single to left,
did the business sending over the
winning run. Il
Of Granite Falls seven hits, four
were made by Fisher, who got dou-
bic and three singls. ~
For Willmar Branch got two dou-
bles and a single, and "Buck" john
BILE and three singles.

caused an ardent scramble for this
privilege of creditorship.
Up TO 1909 Great Britain, Germany
and France shared these privileges ex-
clusively. Conditions were usually re-
quired making the new railroad prac-
tically foreign line. China bound
hand and foot to pay its debts.
Our claim for a share in the 1909
loan was based on an agreement OF
1903, for an equal share in financing
the new lines out OF Han.Kow, China's
greatest industrial center. The bitter.
ness with which the three European
governments referred to our partici-
patton as the "hold.up of a highway
man." confirmed the belief that there
was more in the game than appeared
on the face of the table. And when
President Taft shocked Chinese and
diplomatic etiquet by a telegram of
protest direct to the Chinese regent,
the dust OF centuries flew out OF the
red tape.
The signing Of an agreement May
80, 1910, for an equal share for our
bankers in the original Han.Kow loan
established valuable precedent. The
equal share for us in the agreement
announced this week came consequent
ly with less difficulty.

Think BOYS Killed cohn.

Omaha, March 29.-Three boys, all
giving their age as II years, were ar
rested last night charged with petit
larceny and evidence unearthed later
makes the police believe they are the
murderers OF Herman B. Cohn, who
was killed near his home last Satur.
day night, and also the perpetrators
of a number of hold.ups in the north
ern part of the city during the last
few weeks.
The boys are Lemuel Tiggs, alias l.
Andrews; Carl Deland and Henry
Steingger and they all came from st.
Louis, Mo, where according to a let
ter from Tiggs to Deland, written in
January, they belonged to gang Of
thieves and murderers.
Considerable plumber which they ad-
nit was stolen was found in their
room at 3l7ia North Fifteenth street.
They give conflicting accounts Of
their actions on Saturday night and
in general way they answer the de-
scription of the Corn murderers. The
police are subjecting them to a rigid
examination.

TO IMPROVE COUNTY FAIRS.

John Hamilton, farmers institute
specialist OF the United States depart.
ment OF agriculture, has Just prepared
n report advocating government help
for county fairs. His ideas are prin.
cipally along the line of using these
fairs to demonstrate the results of
scientific farming to unprogressive az
rculturists.
The principal trouble with these
fairs is not necessarily that vaudeville
shows, balloon ascensions and horse
trotting are so prominent. After the
solemn isolation of crossroads or hill
town life, let the farmer have his hour
of fun once year.
The worst of the fairs is their ten.
dency to routine. When the same old
cattle from the same old barns from
the same old farms receive the same
old premiums every year, the effect on
good farming Is not very impressive.
What is needed Is to make the farm.
er see that by using the facts OF mod.
ern science, he can make his soil and
his domestic animals more productive.

Burned Doctor Was from Ewino.

Ewing, Neb, March Especial to
The News: Dr. d. T.. Morris, promi.

with his four children were burned TO
death in their dwelling early Monday
morning on account of which appear.
ed in The News telegraphiC columns
yesterday, was the second son Of ID.
r. Morris of Ewing.
The sad news reached here In tele-
gram TO Mr.. Morris. 1t appears thaG
the family woke up only to find that
the flames had cut off all avenues OF
escape. a mattress was quickly
thrown to the ground by the husband
and the mother and daughter lowered
in safety. Succeeding in this the doc
tor frantically rushed to an adjoip-
ing room TO rescue his other four chill
dren when the floor gave way and all
went down in the seething hell OF
flame, Mr.. Morris has the genuine
sympathy of the entire community In
his sad extremity. He left on this

CORpORATJON INsINCERITy.

Managers OF the great railroad and
other corporations complain bitterly
because OF the hostile attitude Of the
public. But what are they doing to
make the public believe in their good
faith and sincerity?
While the railroad rate decision was
pending, the railroad magnates pre-
dicted the most terrible things as the
result Of an adverse decision. What
has been the result measured by the
stock market thermometer?
Before the recent decision was made
public February %, the average OF
twenty leading railroad stocks was
1916. Last Saturday the market for
the same stocks closed at 1856.
Stock market authorities would be
more likely to attribute even this
slight fluctuation to uncertainty about
what the new congress will do, than to
this decision.
With these lamentable predictions
so thoroughly set at naught, Is it any
wonder that people want to have their
bill for railroad transportation read
over to them before they pay it?

MExICo's CHRONIC UNREST.

The purpose OF the administration
in sending troops to Texas now be-
comes fairly clear. American lives
and property were In danger, it was
felt, and our soldiers should be where
congress could move them promptly
IL necessary.
The present revolt is partly ma
tural uprising OF democratic aspira-
ton against a despotism. But some
thing more than democratic aspiration
is needed to make life and property
safe.
One observer said of Mexicos orig.
inal independence, THE Mexicans
fought like demons for freedom, and
then did not know what to do with it
when they got it,"
Specifically Mexican city bears
the appearance of highly civilized
community, with handsome public
architecture, trolleys, water supply,
light systems. But underneath there
Is racial stock from Spanish and In.
dian origins that lacks any prepare
tion for self government. The people
are not interested in politics. They
do not gather at the corner grocery
and spread knowledge OF public prob.
lens to the remotest crossroads, while
village orators make the cracker bar
rels rattle.
Instead, when men gather at their
cafes and lounging places, they dis.
cuss the theater and personal gossip
Desiring to test their political infor.
nation, traveller asked hotel waiter
as to who was mayor of the City of
Mexico. "Porifirio Diaz," was the re-
ply. mo. he's president" said the
tourist. rs he. I'll go ask" said the
waiter. He then brought back the
name Of man who was not mayor,
but president OF the federal district.
4 similar inquiry in other restaurants
brought equally ignorant replies.
When President Taft and President
Diaz met at El Paso, it was believed
by many Of the common people that
Diaz had sold Mexico to the Ameri-
cans. Prices ard details were given.
With this popular ignorance, It
looks as II the present unrest might
be chronic. Shall our army be kept
on guard indefinitely along the from
tier, il this threat Of trouble continues?
But perhaps a skillful distribution Of
office among the leaders Of the insur.
rection will satisfy them. Then the
rank and file might go back to their
cafes and cigarettes and lose interest
in politics.

LoANING MONEY TO CHINA.

The agreement of China to give
American bankers a One-fourth share
of the s5O,0O0,00O loan for it's new uni.
form system of coinage, industrial and
banking enterprises in Manchuria,
etc, is another step in the growing
influence of America in Chinese af-
fairs.
The straightforward, il "shirt-sleeves
diplomacy" by which two years ago
we became a factor in financing
China's new development, was a shock
to the slippery ana secretlve diplo-
macy OF Europe. AS one Chinese
scholar expressed it, when the Amer
leans drink wine they do not talk tea; ;
when they drink tea, they talk tea !;
when they drink wine, they talk wine"
The average American Is somewhat
mystified why the loaning OF 312.500,-
coo to China causes such passionate
feeling and such throbbing of the tel
egFaph wires. Seemingly il is Of
scarcely more importance than the
financing OF some branch railroad that
is dismissed by two line item.
But the control of trade along new
highways OF commerce into the rich
heart of the Orient, the powers of
financial and political control given in
case OF default Of obligations, has
