WHERE JAPANESE
 ARE LAW ABIDING

Midway between America and Asia, the
 territory of Hawaii stands in pecu-
 liarly favorably location for Q meeting ground of the west and east, an ex-
 pertinent station for the mingling of the races says the National Magazine.
 The census of 1910 shows that out of a population of 191 909 there were q ,G9S Chinese and 79, ,663 Japanese. With a vast ly predominant foreign population in an area about the size of the state of Massa-
 chusetts, it is evident that the experi-
 ment of the minglng of the races is here being carried out on a magnificent scale,
 and the question as to whether the east and the west can successfully intermingle
 should find in the experience of Hawaii
 one of it's strongest arguments.
 Rumors ar sometimes circulated about the menace of the S0,00O Japanese in the islands; for example. that there are 35.000 armed emissaries of the AIikado ready to strike a blow in ase of misunderstanding between the nations. This is untrue. Nowhere is there a more peaceable and industrious people than the Japanese of
 Hawaii. Arms they have-yes, but of flesh, not of steel. and by their hrawn they have added greatly to the wealth of Hawaii's industries, while by their genius for landscape gardening they have done
 much to add to the scenic charms of this beautiful country.
 For efficiency in domestic service the homes of the islands are put under daily obligation to them. An incident In 1910 evoked much admiration for their law
 abiding disposition; following the lead of
 a professional agitator. the Japanese la
 borers on the island of Oahu were induced to strike for higher wages. Several thou
 sands of them withdrew from the planta-
 tons and were Quartered in Honolulu for tho Mt he vat oil str of feeling and argument and financial loss incurred on both sides there was no bois- terous conduct displayed. If ever there

Attention.

Owing to crowded conditions in the
first primary department., it has
been decided to hold halliday ses-
sions during the fall term at least.
One half the pupils will attend in
the forenoon and the other half in
the afternoon. If the plan as pro-
posed does not work we'll, after being
thoroughly tried, some other ar
rangement will be made. In some
sections in the east this has been
tried, not only in the primary rooms
but in the intermediate grades as
we'll. 1t has been found in many
cases that the children make more
rapid progress by attending half day
sessions than when they attend dur
ing the whole day.
BY order of the school board.

"Our Own Fair First.

: For years the county fairs in every
part of the state languished and it
was with great difficulty that they
were kept alive. The state fair was
the only one that the people re-
garded worthy of their attendance
and support, but the farmers and
those interested in agricultural ad-
vancement have wisely come to the
conclusion that the real substantial
benefits come from the fairs that are
held in their midst and while the at
tendance and interest in the state
fair mas not diminished to any ap-
preciable extent the slogan of the
farm has become, sour Own Fair

Reducing an Oversupply.

Prior to the civil war there had
been rapid increase in the number
of medical colleges, there being at
the time about sixty in this country.
Following the war. however, the
number increased by leaps and
bounds, until in 1906, not counting
the out-and-out diploma mills, a
maximum number Of 1872 colleges was
reached. It was then discovered that
this country alone had more medical
colleges than all other countries of
the world combined! The conditions
were preposterous. Although an un-
usual but real demand for doctors,
caused by the rapid development and
growth of the country, was what
originally led to the formation of
proprietary medical colleges, never
theless, not only was the demand
soon supplied, but also there came to
be so vast an oversupply as to be ac-
tually ridiculous. And such COL
leges! Although there were some
fairly good ones, a very large per
cent were joint stock corporations,
conducted solely for profit. They
were devoid Of equipment, few held
seriously to any entrance standard,
and whoever could pay the tuition
fees-the only requirement-was ad-
mitted. In order 60 swell the num-
Der of students, and incidentally the
income from fees, glowing ADVERTISE

Short-Siehted Saloon Keepers.

In sentencing Thomas Rogers to
the state reformatory on his plea of
"guilty" of forging $50 check,
which he passed in a Washington
avenue saloon, District Judge W. e.
Hale deplored the fact there is no
law to punish saloonkeepers who
cash checks for men who have been
drinking heavily. "There ought to
be some way of putting stop to this
stream of forgery that passes through
the courts each term,'' said Judge
Hale. "Saloonkeepers will take the
money as long as it comes, ''said he,
land then will take chance on
cashing checks. Ninety per cent of
the forgery cases come as result of
saloonkeepers accepting the checks. :"

The Kanabec County Fair.

Our Kanabec county friends tell us
that their fair last week was a hum
mer. Certainly it hummed Friday.
On that day there was an immense
good-natured crowd in attendance
and the weather was ideal. There
were several hotly contested trotting
and running races, and the base ball
game between Princeton and Grass
ton was decidedly interesting for the
first six innings. But it was the
aeroplane, that circled gracefully
over the grounds like an immense
bird, that riveted the attention of
the crowd.
Although this is only the second
year that the Kanabec association
has had permanent fair grounds at
Mora much headway has been made.
Forty acres are comprised in the
grounds, good half mile track has
been constructed, neat agricultural
hall, a rest room and stock buildings
nave been erected.
The exhibits at the fair last week
were excellent. There was an es-
pecially fine display of apples. The
vegetables could not be excelled.
There was also very creditable
showing of live stock-it requires
time and work to build up this de-
partment of county fair.
Mora itself has noticeably improved
within the past few years. New bus
iness houses and splendid new homes
have been erected and the streets are
in good condition. But, alas, the
beautiful little lake is fast disappear
ing from view.

A DELAYED Letter.

OneoDta, N. Y. Sept. IA, 1914.
Editor Union:-I was much in
terested in the letters of Miss Mary
Newbert of Princeton, who was
caught abroad at the outbreak of the
war, and the difficulties she and
others had in getting about 'Gay
Paree," and, incidentally, getting
enough to eat. Inasmuch as I Of
ficiated when the aforesaid young
lady was born, I may be pardoned
an interest I have always had in her
welfare, and future. I trust that
ere this she has made good her ecsape
from the intolerable conditions in
Europe. and has arrived safely home.
I will bet a dollar that The Flag"
never looked so good as when she saw
it in her own land. And this re-
minds me of the following poem, by
Henry VanDyke, which I am send
ing for the benefit of your readers:
AMERICA FOR ME.
Oh, London is mans town; there's
power in the air;
And Paris is wmoan's town, with
/ flowers in her hair;
|And it's sweet to dream in Venice,
and it's great to study Rome:
But when it comes to living. there's
no place like home.
1 know that Europe's wonderful, yet
something seems to lack;
The past is too much with he1 and
the people looking back.
But the story of the present is to
make the future free
| We love our land for what she is and
what she is to be.
On, it's home again.. and, home
again, America for me-
I want a ship that's westward bound
to plow the rolling sea,
To the blessed land Of room enough
beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunshine,
and the flag is full of stars.
Sincerely yours,
| o. G. Tarbox, NJ. D.

Testing Heat Of Oven,

The cook can never make success
Of baking unless the oven is exactly
right. IF it is little too hot or too
cold all the cakes and pies will be spoil
ed. One can always test the heat by
putting a piece Of white paper on the
oven shelf that is to be used and leav-
ing it there for two minutes. If the
paper comes out still white or very
slightly brown at the edges then the
oven is cool. If the paper comes out
good deal Drowned, but not burned at
all. then the oven is moderate. If the
paper comes out brown all over and
blackened at the edges the oven is hot.
IT the paper burns all to cinder then
the oven Is much too hot for any use.

INDIAN IS MURDERED
Member of Mile Lacs Band of Indians

SDies as Result of Gun Wound IL
{ Received Saturday Night.
Sheriff Shockley Went to the Lake
Sunday and Apprehended the
#E Alleged Murderer.

Tom Shaw-vosh-kung, a member
of the Mile Laos band of Indians
was shot last Saturday night at
about 10 O'Clock, and died almost
instantly. The weapon used was a
l6-gauge shotgun and the charge en-
tered the left groin. The shooting
took place on Fred McKay's hunt
ing reserve on the west side of the
lake, and the only witnesses were
Indians, consequently an accurate
account of the affair is difficult to
secure. However, it is alleged that
Be-donn-E-quoid (better known as
Billie Bedaskey) did the shooting.
Sheriff Shockley went up to tile
lake last Sunday, in company with
Jay Smith, to Investigate the affair.
However when Shockley arrived Be-
DOM -E-quoid was not to be found,
and diligent search was instituted.
Finally, realizing that it would take
some time to find the suspect: Harry
decided that the quickest way to ac-
complish it would be to secure the
assistance, of some of the Indians.
This he did, and E-quoid
was prevailed upon to surrender him.
self when the situation was ex-
planned. Shockley explained that he
would secure the suspect sooner or
later, and the Indians realized that
this was true. The prisoner was
brought to Princeton Tuesday noon
by Deputy Sheriff Mckay, and Sheriff
Shockley returned the same evening
we'll pleased at his success in SO
quickly apprehending the alleged
murderer.
The preliminary hearing was had
before Justice Dickey in this village
yesterday afternoon. Be-donn-E-
quoid waived examination, and was
bound over to the grand jury. He
was taken to the Hennepin county
jail this, ,mprning by Sheriff Shockley,
to be detained until court sets.
Assz.ear, as we can ascertain Shaw
|'vosh-kung had been drinking and
was in a. troublesome mood at the
time he met death. He served a jail
sentence some years ago for almost
killing an Indian.
Be-donn-E-quoid, according to re-
port, is also a rather troublesome
character. However the affair will
undoubtedly be thoroughly investi-
gated at the October term of court.
