pEspEcT EoR the CHINESE.

For my own part, said Robert
Louis Stevenson. Il could not look
but with wonder and respect on the
Chinese. Their forefathers watched
the stars before mine had begun to
keep pigs. In line with this Is a
prediction voiced by the Christian
Science Monitor to the effect that.
when the complete and accurate his
tory of the revolution that has made
a republic of China and given demcc-
racy full swing among the mightiest
people of Asia is written, more oc-
cidentals will be filled with wonder
and respect for the Chinese. The
Monitor well says in support OF this
belief
No ebuliition OF romantic passion
for liberty has brought such changes
TO pass. Rather are they due, as the
manifesto OF the republic to the
friendly nations says. 10 the natural
outcome of a long-cherished desire
for broad-based freedom 1t is the
/ formal declaration of the will of the
| Chinese nation. With charity and
magnanimity not always shown by
christians under similar circumstances
these Confucian Chinese have allowed
the detested and dethroned Manchus
who have misrlled them a67 years, te
retire without personal injury. with
out deprivation of income and WIZ
privileges retained that are not with
out economic value. Too high praise
cannot be given to the steadiness o.
will and racial patience with whicf
NEGOTIATIONS between the revolution
aries on the one hand and the dynasty

4 have been carried on so as to bring te
mass this epoch-marking outcome

ital and with a maximum OF justice Z

HOW WILSON WAS STARTED.

The Cedar Rapids Republican tells
of a pamphlet In which the writer
gives currency to story as to the
strange manner in which the Wood
row Wilson boom was started. AS is
well known, It was suggested by the
Harper publications, the North Amer
lean Review and Harper's Weekly, Of
both of which Colonel Harvey Is edi-
tor. AS the story goes, the Harper
house had been acting as publisher
for Wilson and found itself with a lot
Of his books on hand, books for which
there seemed to be no demand. Noting
the effect that Colonel Roosevelt's
term In the white house had on the
sale of his books, Colonel Harvey
business associates conceived the idea
of bringing Wilson out as a Demo
cratic candidate for President. 1t was
done primarily with the idea of getting
the people to buy the books that the
Harper's had on hand. The Republi
can says of the arrangement, and its
4 language is none too strong:
ut was sordid enough idea on th'
part of the publishers, but every tim'
that Colonel Harvey wrote an edltoria
for Wilson. presumably, he sold SOM
of Wilson's books. But Wilson tool
It seriously enough and SO did man,
Of the people, however sordid the me
, tives NAV have been. The Wilson
, boom got under way and when 1t ha'
, become a reality and Wilson himsel
was launched. he took 1t upon himsel
to separate himself from those VIII
had invented and nurtured his cand
dacy. They say that Wilson was NJ
grateful, but what were the Harpers?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

And when the evening mist clothes
the river side with poetry as with a.
veil. and the poor buildings lose
themselves in the dim sky, and the
tall chimneys become campanili, and
the warehouses are palaces In the
night, and the whole city hangs In the
heavens, and fairyland Is before us
then the wayfarer hastens home
and Nature sings her exquisite
song to the artist alone, her son and
her master Whistler.

Who never does shirk, howeer hum

good setback of y to 1 cent. Lych-
stern was credited with selling May

sell wheat on every cent advance.
Traders said that the local. short in
terest has been well eliminated, and
While traders are timid about follow
ing the advance, as there have been
numerous setbacks from around this
figure previously, the long interest is
larger than it has been and the COM
mission house trading has broadened
SO that the market is a better one to
be in. Those who study the bullish
figures from the northwest do not
place explicit confidence in them. AS
one trader put it: If there is only

to come in at the present rate Of re-
ceipts all the wheat will be in the
market in the next nine weeks. 1t

CONSOLIDATION
Mass Meeting at Baker Yesterday Aft
rnoon Considered Suggestions for
Consolidation of Schools.

The spirit of school consolidation,
so that advantage may be taken of
state aid for public schools, under the
new law, has become awakened among
the school patrons at Baker and vi
cinity.
To consider the matter in all of it's
phases a mass meeting Of interest was
held at Baker yesterday, at which con
siderable enthusiasm was show as
well as a diversity of views on the sub
ject. There were present in an adj
visory capacity Miss Rushfeldt, county
superintendent, John Turner, a former
superintendent well informed on school
needs, and John 7. Lommen, who has
consolidated school at Comstock which
has proven so distinctive a success.
Rural school managers and patrons
may take advantage of one of the three
classes Of state aid under the new law.
Class A provides state aid for a school
Of four rooms, for which the state
pays $1,000; class B, three rooms, ST.
900; class G, two rooms, $3.50. In adj
dttion the state will pay % per cent
Of the cost of construction of a school
building, but no one payment can ex-
coed $1,000. The consolidated school at
Comstock cost $12, 900 for four rooms,
towards which the state paid the max
imum of $1,000 and in addition $500
as a graded school, a total of 81, 100
and besides that six miles of state
road was constructed, the maintenance
of which is paid by the state. To n
JOY state aid the schools must teach
elementary agriculture, domestic econ
omy and manual training. The build
ings must be subject to the regular
inspection by the duly appointed rural
school inspector. While one or two
districts tributary to Baker were in
clined to be averse to any change it
is thought when all the advantages
are properly understood there will De
a splendid equipped consolidated school
with the best corps>of teachers avail
able at Baker.

Moorhsad potato Market.

Browsing about the local potato
market today, following the arrival of
the representative of buyers centering
in Omaha. Neb., one thing was learn
ed, that despite the views expressed
by space writer's at Crookston, Be-
midi and other points, the situation
in a nutshell is the Of supply and
demand. 1t the stocks In Clay and
other counties in the valley turned out
to be larger than sufficient to supply
the demand for seed stock there will
come a decided slump. Today the
price for Mol seed stock, choice sort
ed tubers was So cents, but at that
leading buyers were not falling over
themselves in an effort to load IN
Al feature is. how to get at the ace
curate figures of the stock on hand
1t is believed that there are big stocks
on hand at Baker, Sabin and Watts
Siding and shipment OF the Triumph
variety are now being shipped for the
coming seeding a In Texas.
Nothing Is doing at other early plant
ing points and 1T is o expected that
the large shipments Of Red River Ohio
seed stock, from this county, will be-
gin much before Feb. is, If it is SAFE
shipping weather and the outgoing will
continue possibly to March 90. For
he state at large the present prices
for potatoes are the highest they have
