TIME FOR EXCHANGE.

At. the present time the people of ff1iEs congressional district are face to face with an important situation. It ! tievncrynally asrepubaican district which 1. hag long known and eprofited from the kmaautenencer of republican principles. RTake others 1t underwent 8 change ifSwoACaearEs agop and since that time the kpeopl ploH11Ene6nxhave1 had an opportunity ito noteAt the operations of radically diff tferent policies, which have had their Idetrfruenfal effects throughout the toDzfdkry, hut; paE4icularly in the indus ttxtal activity of this stateeand district.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

Even though the method of attack is. calculated to remove Prof. Munster berg from Harvard university faculty, the manner in which it is being con- ducted is decidedly embarrassing to the university corporation. That the impression should be advanced that such @ board would allow financial considerations to sway its judgment as to the best men for it's teaching corps is in itself an unjustified attack upon the, corporation, whatever it may have been expected to accomplish. Though it may have been known that one should not be allowed to balance the other in such an institution, it is the natural conclusion to draw, that Mayor Weiner expected money to govern the case.
 Prof. Munsterberg is prominent member of the faculty His attitude in regard to the 7belligerents has been given wide publicity and like numer- ous other writings by him has caused much feeling, but such an attitude as he has taken is of course not an ex- pression of the university board. It may cause some uneasiness that member of the faculty should not con slider his relation to the university and cHoSdHoT lo CuTb WHdt might III. any way be twisted to reflect thereon, but to think that it would be governed in-fts judgment and. the makeup of the faculty by money is unjust.
 Though: the beard was likely to take no action upon the communication, it has resulted ir the professor offering his resignation. Under the peculiar circumstances even though it wanted to, Harvard could not accept such be- cause of the light in which 1t would be placed. The affair is a most un-. fortunate one all~around

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Thinking and Doing.

It is better to live than to dream, to do than to write. It is greater to act than to sing or to speak. Seeing and showing to others is. greater than painting and sculpture. What is this but to say that life, after all is greater than art. and that being is nobler than imagining? There have been some wEo have denied this and have asserted the exact contrary, but we must be. content with fact and not with delusive para doX. There is great satisfaction in it, a grand solace for the ordinary per son. We cannot all be writers or art ists or singers, but we can all live, and it is living that is the supreme concern. A time to die will come, but we need not anticipate it. We have to live first, and the dying will take care of itself.
 Action is itself an utterance, an ex- pression-usually it is the most sincere and thorough of expressions. We have to throw ourselves into some form of action in order to realize what is In us. to develop and mature it. to give 1t it's full life. This is why the greatest unrest, the greatest tedium and bore dom is that of the unoccupied per son: this is why the thing that we really crave, especially in our earlier years, is some mode of practical activ- ity. Dreams as such cannot content us, though they may be a source Of inspirations; they or their spirit must be translated into some measure of actuality- Thought alone cannot sat- isfy, though without thought we are like dead things; thought has to be converted into deed. interpreted ii action, set forth in material truth.
 We can both think and do-we must if we would be effective. Yet as think CTS we may be second rate, we may have to borrow from the minds of others. we may only be translators and interpreters; in action we can always be original because some opportunity or occasion of action will come to us that never came to anyone before. No one was ever placed just as we are; no one has done or can do exactly the same things. We can find originality in action, even if in art or in thought we must remain mere copyists.

monopoly. That this means much to that territory must be recognized. That there should be such an opening of government land is apparent. To have sach valuable possessions but to be unable to touch them was an injus- tice to that northern possession.
 While 1t promises to be some time before the system which the bill per mits can be put into operation, the passage of it gives the start which must be first made. The working out of the details from now on will rest upon other shoulders and it is no small responsibility which goes herewith. Alaska attracts attention from it's lack of development, in spite of the large amount of business which it already does, but the future holds out greater promise for it.

That there was danger from such land movements had been recosntzeds by Col. ,Goethalsyand other engineers in charge of the. work at that important locality. When it would. occur. it was impossible to say, hut past experience there, combined with the very natureTof the material, made 1t evident that it, was, a factor which-would have4to be contended with iooner' or later.

THE PHILIPPINE BILL

The Jones bill for the granting of independence to the Philippines has gotten as far as it wills get at this ses- sion of the legislature by it's passa ge in the house. It has gotten as far as it should get if it is expected thereby to hoodwfnlS the Filipinos into the he- lief that they are being assured some thing different and better than what has always been the nations policy. It has gotten as far as it should get until the true facts are laid before congress that they may have proper information for judgment.
 To prepare for the radical change which the democrats promised regard ing the islands, Prof. Ford was sent to the Philippines to investigate. learn the true facts and report. This he did and it is the presidents guide, but such information as he brought has not been furnished to congress and what is more necessary than that they should have oft while consider ing this important matter? Efforts to bring it out resulted in the reso- lution beings ssquelched.
 The first democratic plan for self government wthin a fixed period has been abandoned. It was against, the conditions existing in the island. Was the report suppressed because it is squarely against all democratic claims respecting heaPhilippines?
 The Philippine question is.one which calls,for other than action in the dark. We need to aid and encourage those people to the highest citizenship. but it cannot 7be done by setting up false hopes to create diStrust. later on by failure to do what the Filipfnos are given ito believe we are promising.

TEN ACRES YIELDED
2,70o BU. OF POTATOES

Potatoes have become one of
the important crops of the coun-
ty and in most cases are yielding
well this season. 1t. made fine
sight when the Phillips 10-acre
potato patch on land belonging
to Joe Wegley was dug last
week
An outfit consisting of a
4+horse Hoover digger, three wag
ons, eight pickers and two check
ers did the job with dispatch,
harvesting 1880 bushels in one
day. The scant ten acres yield
ed about 2,70O bushels of market
able tubers besides several humid
red bushels of small ones suit
able for hog feed.
The potatoes were irrigated
but Mr.. Phillips says the yield
of parts Ct the field was reduced
by too much water caused by
broken ditch bank. At the, pres
