READY TO ACT
American Government Has Finger on
Chinese Situation.

Washington, Sept. 9.-State and
navy department officials are watch
ing closely the situation in China. Ad-
miral Hubbard, commanding the
American naval forces in the far east,
has not reported to the navy depart
ment what measure he has adopted for
the protection of the American mis-
sionaries reported to be threatened in
See Chuen province in accordance with
yesterdays instruction.
Acting Secretary Winthrop today
had on his desk list of the American
warships in Chinese and Philippine
waters, showing just where each ship
was located at last report. The num-
Der of vessels is considerable but not
many Of them are sufficiently light
draft to be able to navigate the upper
reaches and tributaries of the Yangtse
Kiang. which run through the prov
ince.
State department officials most
familiar with conditions in China are
not very apprehensive for the safety
of any foreigners in the province. They
believe that the agitation there is d.
rected more against the Chinese gov
ernment for economic reasons than
against the missionaries who have re-
Gently been on particularly favorable
footing in their relations with the
natives.

Shady Bend. Kas., Sept. eighty
men and boys have been arrested and
placed under bond here for alleged
connection with the tarring and feath-
ering Of Miss Mary Chamberlain, a
young school teacher ten days ago by
a mob. A strong effort had been made
to keep the matter quiet but County
Attorney McCandless refused to allow
the affair to go uninvestigated. The
trials Of several Of the suspects have
been set for next month. Other ar
rests are expected.
Miss Chamberlain belongs to q
prominent family. The only excuse
given for the affair is that she had
talked about" other women Of the
community.
1t is charged that one of the men
under arrest took Miss Chamberlain
for ride in buggy and that upon
reaching lonely spot on the road he
stopped the buggy and ran into the
woods. Several men, it is said, were
waiting near the spot. They went to
the place on motorcycles. These men,
it is said, took Miss Chamberlain from
the buggy. removed part of her cloth
ing. applied the tar and feathers and
left her. Her escort returned later
and drove Miss Chamberlain back to
her boarding house. Miss Chamber
lain was not seriously injured.

Columbus. Sept. 9.-Rodney Dieg!e,

Of a beginning or promise of an end.
A cycle scheme which, as a whole, is
deathless, birthless, and fiawless; but
within that scheme cosmic systems,
such as we call the universe, are
born, come to maturity, and decay,
and such is true of every constitution
of our milky-way system.
Suns and planets are born; the
planet dies and becomes but a cinder
Of its former self, and then bursts out
into efflorescence of vegetable and
animal life. Thus is its maturity;
then comes its decay.
"And 80 Of every sun, planet, and
organization in the universe, whether
organic or inorganic; we have the
same system Of progress and develop
ment throughout. A being travelling
through eternity on the wings of light
would see perpetual restlessness,
but no more permanent change than
sea bird does as 1t watches the wave
changes Of the ocean,"

THE west AND
CONSERVATION
Convention of Western Dele.
gates Will Meet at Denver
Next Month

Denver, Sept. 9.-That the time has
come when all people of the west
should know and understand thoro-
ughly the policy Of the federal gov
ernment with respect to conserving
the public domain in the western
states Is the opinion of the men who
are pushing the movement for the
Public Lands convention, which will
be held in Denver September % to
October inclusive.
Bills are pending in congress, which
In the opinion Of many, would be in
tmical to the best interests of the peo-
pie Of the western states should they
become law. The argument is advanc-
ed that this legislation, IL adopted by
congress, would create a bureaucracy
in Washington that would encroach
upon the constitutional provision OF
states rights, and that it would be
unfair to the states of the west for
the reason that 1t would exact a toll
from public domain of this section
for the benefit Of the federal treasury
which the older states were never
forced to pay.
The bills which have aroused action
are three senate bills providing for
federal control of lands which may
become valuable for the development
Of water powers, coal lands and oil
lands.

Ministers TAKE
DOUBLE CHANCE
Are Candidates in Two Con
Observation-Disclosures Is
Charged

Montreal, Sept. "a significant de-
velopment as the election draws near
is the acceptance by government min
listers of nominations in two separate
constituencies Of this province. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier is to run in Sou
langes and also in Quebec east. The
latter seat he has occupied for years
and here he is practically sure OF
election. In Soulanges the Liberal
party was rent by dissension and
faced a strong local man in DR.. Lortis
the opposition candidate. It is felt
that II any one can win there Sir
Wilfrd can.
The postmaster general in the Lau-
rier ministry, DR.. Henri 8. Beland, is
running in his old constituency OF
Beauce. where the normal Liberal
majority is in four figures and also
in Mont Magny, which is National
list stronghold represented at Quebec
by Armand Lavergne, the lieutenant
Of Mr.. Bourassa in his campaign
against Laurier.
The minister of the navy and fish
cries, Rodolphe Iemieux, is to contest
Rouville as we'll as his former con-
CSASuSASy VI 6oSpos ia WHICH ne IL
practically certain Of winning.
The nomination Of the ministers in
these double constituencies 10 being
construed by the opposition as an evi-
dence Of weakness for If the election
should be close it will deprive the
Liberals Of three votes in the first
division Of constituencies for which
they are running. Under the rules, q
member of parliament cannot resign
until speaker has been elected, and
1t is foreseen that in case the parties
are closely divided the test vote will
come on the election Of speaker.
Mr.. Bourassa started out bu treat
ing reciprocity as neglihle issue
and rather inclined to favor 1t. He
has now got to the point where he
places himself in direct opposition
and this is interpreted to mean that
he has found his supporters less IA
vorable than he at first supposed.

Owners Of Originally Selected

Minot's normal site troubles as
sumed new proportions late Friday
afternoon when Judge K. E. Leighton
OF Minot issued, on petition present
ed by owners of the originally Sc
lected Olson-Grow or south hill site
temporary injunction restraining
the normal board from taking any
further action looking to thee estab-
iishment of the school on the newly
selected site, which site was select.
ed following the recent special elec-
ton held in Minot at which citizens
were given an opportunity to ex-
press their preference.
Want Permanent Injunction.
In the temporary Injunction that
has been secured, the petitioners ask
that the board be restrained from
taking any further steps until such q
time as the main case, which ts an
action for a permanent Injunction
can be disposed of. September 16 is
the date fixed for the arguments on
that point.
Charging that, in accordance with
the action of the state normal board
OF trustees taken May 25, they re-
leased mortgages and conveyed title
to the land to the state within the

OF trustees had no further right to

LA TOILETTE IS
NOT IN HURRY
Will Not Announce Presiden.
tial Candidacy Until After
Congress Convenes

Madison, Wis, Sept. 9.-Upon excel
lent authority it is learned that Sena-
tor LaFollette will wait until after
congress converes early in December
before announcing his candidacy for
the presidency. Although the leading
progressives throughout the country
have been coming out in interviews
endorsing him for president, he will
avoid precipitious haste to answer
their call, preferring to wait until
after President Taft has submitted his
message.
Primarily the senator wants to find
out, 1t is said, what position the presi-
dent will assume toward what are
known as the progressive policitics,
the presidents suggestions as to fur
ther revision of tariff and his general
stand on departmental and admins
tration issues.
