What is your view of the revolu-

The achievement of the republic
was in itself a remarkable thing"
said DR.. Eliot, "but the Chinese are
confronted with many other great diff
flculties. They have got rid Of the
Manchu dynasty forever. They have
established a provisional government
under republican forms, but the con-
stitution and permanent government
are still to be created and organized
1.-THE ,Manchu empire left nothing to
the republic; no army, no navy, no
system Of law, no courts, no police, no
roads, no railroads, with the exception
of three or four, which have different
gauges and rolling stock; no revenue
no system Of taxation. Everything
which we understand by government
must be organized. This viii doubtless
be a slow job. The western powers
should be very patient and hopeful" !"
did you bring back any impress
sion of the Chinese as people?"
''Yes, brought a very strong i'm
preston, that the people are honest
frugal very Iaborious and tough, not
in the sense of rowdies, but hardy in
a physical sense"
"Are the people desirous of recogni-
tion of the new republic?"
'fYes, extremely so, but I think that
the United States should cooperate
with the other six powers in this re-
spect."

Red River Knitting Mills to
Locate Here
Late ]. B. Folsom Largely
Responsible For Move
New Concern Comes Here From
Fergus Falls, Minn.
Fargo is to have a new industry.

Fargo is to have new industry.
The Red River Knitting mills, of
which M. e. Linke is the proprietor.
has decided to move at once to Fargo
and will be located near the corner
of Broadway and Front street.
In fact the proprietor has already
begun to remove the machinery to this
city from Fergus Falls, Mimi, where
the plant was formerly located and in
the neighborhood of fifteen families
will move from Fergus Falls to this
city to work in the plant.
What Is Manufactured.
According to circular letter which
Is being sent out and is endorsed by
the commercial club, these mills will
be opened about Sept. / with the man
ufacture of full-fashioned sweater
coats for men, ladies and children,
shawls, skirts. home made stockings
and all kinds of knit goods.
Late MIR. Folsom Helped.
One of the last acts of the late J.
B. Folsom, was his efforts in securing
the plant for this city. In this he was
assisted by Secretary Stine, Hon.
Alex Stern and President Weiser of
the First National bank, who are the
members of the n1anufacturers' COM
mittee Of the club.
Mr.. Folsom introduced Mr.. Linke
to the club and the matter of the re-
lloval from Fergus Falls was taken
up and discussed and it was decided
that this was a plant that was worth
any city's time and trouble to secure.
Mr.. Linke showed his samples here.
Shipping First Glass.
These samples were all that he
represented them to be, for the sweat
ers, etc., are among the best on the
market. Mr.. Linke on his part looked
into the shipping facilities of the city
and found that they were all that he
could possibly desire and so the ar
rangements were made and he has al
ready begun to ship the machinery to
this city and has been packing his
household goods and they are expect
ed to arrive with his family IN a very
few days.
He has been able to secure a de-
sirable house on the fl6rthside and
expects to be very comfortable. The
new plant will be q valuable acqui-
sition to Fargo's rapidly growing
manufacturing industries and the
commercial club is being congratulate
ed as well as Mr.. Linke on making
the change.

Have Patent Holders Right to
Arnalgamate Patents
Claimed That Foreign Films
Are Restricted"
Holding Company Said to Con-
troll the Business

Philadelphia, Aug. 16.-The federal
government attacked the so-called
moving picture trust in civil suit
fled here today for the dissolution
of the Moving Picture Patents Co.
and the General Film Co..
Ten prominent film concerns are
accused of combining to monopolize
the business even to the extent Of in
creasing or decreasing the number OF
motion picture theatres, in which they
have no proprietary interest.
Each Of the defendants Is alleged
to have overstepped the bounds Of
lawful monopoly granted by their pat
ents and the petitions ask that sew
eral complicated interlocldng license
restrictions, tying the patents togeth-
er, be ordered cancelled.
The government charges unreason-
able and oppressive restraints ami
conditions have been arbitrarily inn
posed on the manufacture and leasing
OF films and machines, depriving the
public Of the advantage Of competi-
ton, especially the competition of for
eign films, the importation of which
is alleged to be restricted.
Edwin p. Grosvenor, special as
sistant to the attorney general, who
has had charge of the pending anti
trust suit against the International
Harvester Co, and who made an ex-
haustive investigation Of the moving
picture business, drew the petition
filed today by u. S. Atty. John G.
Swartley. In addition, the bill Is

pictures are printed each week by the

important Suit.
The moving picture antitrust suit
hled today, is regarded by the depart-
ment of justice as one of it's most i'm
portant moves under the Sherman
law, as 1t squarely asks for the iudi-
cial determination OF relation Of that
statute to the patent laws. The suit
will test the right OF corporations and
individuals to join their respective
patent monopolies into one big mo
nopoly through alleged combinations
and agreements.
