A bill has been passed by the
Chinese administrative council
which prescribes the worship of Con-
fucius as the religion of the empire.
Christian missionaries of all sects
are, of course, opposed to the step,
but no apparent reason prevails why
the Chinese should not follow their
established religion. Confucius was
virtually their savior the same as
Christ was ours. Chinese mission

a good roads meeting was held In

afternoon at which Mr.. Roe Chase,
editor of the Herald, delivered the
principal address Among other
things that Mr.. Chase recommended
was volunteer road day. The
third Tuesday of June in each year
is already designated by law as good
roads day. (See sec. g., CHAP .235
general laws of 1913. Mr.. Chase
also advocated the use of machinery
in building roads, which is good ad-
vice if a municipality can afford it.
But unless road expenditures are
punched it would not pay to invest
in very expensive machinery. The
Union is glad to note the good roads
awakening in Anoka county and
hopes something practical will result
therefrom. But it requires money
and, the intelligent expenditure of
the same to get good roads. Mere

is candidate for governor. He as
serts that ''the logic of the situa-

state under which party banner he

The Canadian government has de-
cided to oppose tariff revision which
would permit the free entry of wheat
into the United States, one member
characterizing the movement as
reciprocity by installments. The
free wheat amendment to the ad-
dress from the throne was defeated
by a majority Of As. It is the
opinion of the opponents of the
measure that the free entry of wheat
into the United States would prove
disastrous to the Canadian farmer.
This opinion is, in all probability,
correct.

HOW TARIFF REDUCTION AFFECTS Us

| "Ov AhAHc nHDOCAxON AFFECIS CS
New York press dispatch, Jan. 81:
AN influx of foreign butter from
all parts of the world, due to the re-
duction OF the tariff from S to. ~
cents pound, has caused decline
in the New York wholesale price of
10 cents pound since the. first of
the year. 49,
''Butter has been coming. to this
city from as far off as Australia by
way of San Francisco: Three hun
dred Thousand pounds from that
country has been laid down here
within the last two or three weeks
Butter has also been shipped from
Argentine, Denmark and Siberia.
''The shipments, butter dealers
admitted today, have created marked
uneasiness in the wholesale market
with the result that there has been
an unloading of various stocks. To:
day the best grade butter was selling
at 2615 to q cents a pound whole
sale.''
Theorists may prate about the
benefits that will accrue to the
farmers especially from free trade or
tariff for revenue only, but facts. as
related in the above press dispatch,
are stubborn things to contend
against. A reduction of five or ten
cents per pound in the price of but
ter in the New York market means
a corresponding reduction in the
price paid for butterfat by the Min
nesota creameries The abolition of
the duty on POTATOES and the reduc-
tion of the tariff on butter will hit
the farmers of this section of the
state hard blow, So far there has
been no reduction in the prices of
commodities the farmers are obliged
to buy. As far as the farmers Of
Minnesota are concerned the new
tariff law is ]obsided, and the lob is
not on the side of the farmers either.

land has been patented to the state

But if the land has not been pat

has not already been patented to the
state. Circumstances must govern,

If the land is filed upon for the
purpose of denuding it of whatever
valuable timber it may contain that
is a different matter. The state,
however, should adopt liberal
policy and give the settler the bene-
fit of any doubt that may exist-viz:
if it is hard to determine whether
the major part of a government sub.
division is of swampy or nom
swampy character it should be held
to be non-swampy and tho settler
should be left in undisturbed possess
sion of the same.
