WASHINGTON.

Every year that is added to Amer
lean history finds the name of Wash
ington occupying a higher place in
the hearts of the people. There seems
to be no dissenting voice on this
point. Washington was indeed in the
first rank of heroes, who, while saw
ing his country from the English
yoke, was himself a man OF superb
equipoise, and towering strength He
made his place in history without
anything in the way of effort on his
part except in the simple perform
ance of his duty as a soldier, citizen
and patriot Like all great men, there
was never any conscious part played
by him. He was himself as nature
made him, leader. a genius, states
man, a man. His patriotism sounded
no false notes to his ears He wor-
shipped no false gods. He was
Washington, the world soldier. the
model leader, and a model president.
the model statesman, the model man.

AEROPLANE SAFETY DEVICE.

The whole world mourned the
tragic death Of poor Ralph Johnston.
the popular bird-man, who was killed
in a flight at Denver the other day
This accident should be of lasting
value to aeroplane builders 1t should
stimulate invention along the lines OF
parachute appliances in order to re
duce the danger of flying to the mini
mum. II an arrangement could be
perfected that would automatically
open a big parachute in the event of
a sudden plunge downward of an
aeroplane through accident while
aloft, the entire equipment, man and
machine, would descend in compare
tive safety. Already this idea has
been touched upon, and it now re-
mains for some one to put it into
practical use The collapse of an
aeroplane wing might be made the
means OF releasing the parachute on
the upper surface of the planes.
Something, surely, should be done to
make flying less hazardous.

NEW YORK POLITICS.

There is a striking contrast in New
ork politics conc AIRED with New Ter
sey at the present moment. 1t seems
a sorry spectacle to see a governor OF
almost 100000 people having the
feeling that the selection OF a United
States senator is none of his business.
Most right-minded people will take is
sue with him on this. Governor Dix
appealed very strongly in his cam
paign, yet, judged in the light Of
events seems to have started out with
very little OF his own personality in
the actual business OF the State. He
neither dominates his legislature nor

FINE EXHIBITS At BIG SHOW
st. Paul Auditorium Offers Splendid
Place for Holding Northwestern
Land Exposition.

Commercial clubs, real estate men
and various organizations throughout
the Eve states embraced in the
Northwestern Development league are
taking the same progressive steps as
did Grand Forks county in arranging
for exhibits at the Northwestern Land
Products show to be held in St. Paul
December 1928.
In addition to those exhibits, each
of the seven states will have a state
exhibit. The twin city and Duluth
business men put. up $4,000 and pur-
chased space so that each state will
have 500 square feet. This will in
sure each state in the league having
a representative exhibit. Every state
has gladly accepted the space.
The show will be held in n of the
few large auditoriums of the world
the handsome fire proof auditorium in
st. Paul which has a seating capacity
of 10000, a floor space of more than
5000 feet, and what is very important
to a land show, q wall space of 5000
square feet.
The exposition will attract thou
sands Of the land hungry and a splen-
did opportunity will be offered to show
the fertility of the soil Of the north
west. The place of holding the show
is very advantageous.
The twin city is the gateway to the
great northwest. This is why the
farmers, the business men. the COM
mercial clubs, communities and state
officials, who formed and organized
the Northwestern Development league
not for personal gain. but for the
common good Of all, selected st. Paul
as the place to hold the Northwestern
Land Products show.

CHILD CUSTODY
HEARING TO-DAY
Minister Of the Gospel Fight
ing to Retain Possession of
Houf Child

Devils Lake, Sept. ga hearing is
being held in this city today in the
matter of the Pitman-Hou child
custody case. The story of the de-
velopments leading up to the action
In the court is an interesting one.
William Pitman and his wife separ-
ated at Starkweather, N. D., and the
husband left for Virginia, leaving his
small daughter, Edna, in the custody
OF Rev. Pitman Of that place. That
occurred in 1909.
About a month ago the husband
and wife had become reconciliated
and Mrs. HOUR went to get the child.
Rev. Pitman refused to surrender
Edna" and the mother resorted to
the law to gain possession of her
child. The point in the case over
which a bitter fight is being waged
Is that the father and mother are not
capable Of taking a of the girl.
The mother claims that Pitman has
no legal right to her daughter, as no
legal adoption had been made.

Three years ago he resigned because
of the extreme liberal views of the
rest of the faculty. At present he is
president of the seminary conducted

TOM MILLER FOR CONGRESS.
Retiring President OF ColCred Col.
lege at Orangeburg May Run
Against Legare.

Columbia, Jan. S0.-Additional in
terest was created in the forced re-
tirement of Tom Miller, as president
of the South Carolina Normal and In
dustrial College at Orangeburg, by
the statement today Of a prominent
and trustworthy man that Miller told
him if he We're made to retire as presi-
dent, he would move back to his farm
in Beaufort county and be a candi-
date for congress against the Hon.
Geo. S. Legare of Charleston. By do
ing this Miller thinks, it is believed,
that he can cause the Democrats a
good deal Of embarrassment, as he
would contest the election Of his op-
ponent before congress.
The appointment of Miller as presi-
dent Of the institution at Orangeburg
forms an interesting story The es-
adjustment of the college was the re-
suit Of the hard fight made by Mil
ler and four or five other negroes in
1895 against the Acknowledgement of
the numerous colored voters in this
State. AS a compromise the Demo-
Gratis in the constitutional Convention.
1t is said, agreed to establish the
school, and Miller and his associates
agreed not to contest the amendment
in the United States courts. The col
lege was created the next year and
Miller was chosen as its president. He
has held the job ever since and has
received $4,000 a year for his work.
1t is said that he has not been pop
ular with his associates and that many
members Of his faculty were forced

MAY SHAKE MANY CITIES.
CORRUPTION BETWEEN POLICE
AND CRIMINAL CHINESE
UNEARTHED.
IrODe Begins i'm New YOrk.-DOcu-
ments In Opium Den May Clear Up
Mystery OF Elsie Sicgel Ard Other
Murders.

New York, Jan. 31.-Disclosures Of
sensational nature were made Of
the fact that in a raid on an opium
den In this city last week by customs
inspectors mass Of documentary
evidence was found which will prob
ably result in the solution of the Elsie
Slegel and other murder mysteries,
and which establishes beyond question
the existence Of corrupt relations be-
tween syndicate Of Chinese GRIM
lnals and the police officials in this
and other cities. These revelations
have started an investigation which
Federal, county and city authorities
agree will be one Of the most far
reaching and searching in tbs history
Of New York.
The exposure was confirmed today
by the officials who have inspected the
letters, receipts and memoranda. 1t
was said by those in whose custody
the written proof is held, that mas
much as not all Of the papers have as
yet been translated from the Chin
ese. 1T Is likely that revelations even
more shocking than those which have
been made will follow.
The seized documents are looked
upon as so important by Henry A.
Wise, United STATES District Attorney,
that he will not turn any of them over
to the New York police until the
Treasury Department. in Washington
decides upon that course. The New
York police are anxious to get the
records, which show how the murder
er of Elsie Siegel escaped, and the
sums Of money that have been paid
by Chinese criminals to police officials
In this city and elsewhere.
So conservative an official as Deputy
Commissioner Flynn said tonight that
because Of revelations made in these
recards, one Of the greatest shake-ups
In the history of the New. York Police
Department is inevitable.

COTTON MARKET PROSPECTS.
WEATHER ONLY DOUBTFUL flea
TURE IN MARKET.
If Rain Falls i'm West Bears Will Take
1t as Factor Against High Prices.

New Orleans, Jan. 29.--With the
last census report of the season out
of the way and the size of the COM
mercial crop a matter of no great
dispute, the cotton trade is now
squarely facing the question of wheth
er there is to be a campaign fo.
rise in the spring and summer r. ~
or not.
For some time past t ave
been may rumors that a st. bull
clique is controlling the May delivery
in this market but this story has
been laughed down.
There has been much transferring
of the long interest from January to
March. With January liquidated these
two months will command attention
and it ought not to be hard to detect
signs Of any unusual trading in eth
er position.
The weather map now will come in
for more attention than has been
paid 1t for several months. Should
rain fall in the West the bears will
try to make it feature Of general
interest in an attempt to rob the sta
tistical position of some Of the atten-
ton being paid it. According to the
market there is large area Of impor-
tant cotton producing country in Tex
as and Oklahoma that has not re-
ceived anything like an adequate win
ter rainfall, although light rains
have been reported here and there
in both States for some time.
This, it is claimed, has caused
backward preparations for the new
crop in some sections and is against
the success Of the next crop since it
Is the general idea that winter rains
are conserved in the soil while spring
and summer rains are quickly evap-
GRATED. The claim Of the bulls is
that unless rains fall soon the cotton
plant over a large area will suffer
for moisture during every dry spell
OF the season. Unless rains fall soon
in a geneal way, the droughty condi-
tions In the West will be q market
feature Of great Importance.
The statistics Of the coming week
will be eagerly watched for Stocks
Of cotton will command much atten-
ton and should they shrink as they
have this last week investment buy
ing will be stimulated.
