There have been so many rumors regarding improprieties at the Red Win‘g training school that the specific charges, made so fearlessly by former Senator A. D. Stephens of Crookston, to the effect that disgraceful methods were being employed at Red Wing, that the determination of the legis- lature to once and for all conduct a sweeping, searching investigation of the conduct of that institution, ought to result in much good. Certain it is that if flogging machines are employed upon the un- fortunate inmates, the public has a right to know it and it isn’t likely that automatic whippers, if any there be, will last much longer. Senator Stephens has not only done notable work as a member of the legislature but he is a prominent and highly respected citizen and accusations from him therefore de- serve serious consideration. Of course he may be mistaken and if he is the legislative committee undoubt- edly will find it out, but there should be no deliberate attempt at white- washing. So many times during the past few years, charges and counter charges have been made regarding the Red Wing school that a good many persons have reached the “where there is so much smoke there must be some fire” stage. THE TAFT HO0D0O. If the country did not know other- wise, it might begin to suspect that President Taft was inaugurated on Friday, the 13th. There seems to be some sort of a hoodoo lingering about -the White|, House ever ready to manifest itself when the chief executive of the U. S. A. comes prominently before the people. “President Taft, who really ought to be the most popular man in his party because of his geniality and his fine address, is in fact one of the least popular,” says Willis J. Atbott, in a special out of Washington.” It is not the president who 'is un-| popular but it is because of the per- | sistently unfortunate circumstan cs which continue to hsriss him. He no soouer falls the victim to cries of adverse criticism because of a tariff | bill than the secretary of the:interior, who thould resign, won’t resign and more trouble is president. +|wellion the way:to add to 'that list unlamented C..D. Norton. He sidered by a mixed jurisdiction. © mm store for lhe’.‘ -Through all of his administration, Mr. Taft has also been _unfortunate regarding his assistants and advisers even outside the cabinet. He has suffered from a succession of incom- petent or at least impolitic private ‘secretaries.and, saysMr. ‘Abbott, ‘‘is with the retirement of the wholly suffers from the stupidity of his cabinet officers, notably -Hitchcock, the ‘postmaster .general, who' has forced a fight upon all' the magazines in the country by his proposition to increase the rates by charging a special .rate ~on the ..advertising sections.” Still the president maintains the even tenor of his-ways and is far from being frustrated at the re- peated predictions " of - democratic victory in 1912, WAR CLOUDS. Following the terrible drubbing given her by Japan, Russia has remained at peace with the world up to the present moment when it looks as 1f the Czar would clash with ancient China. 1 If China alone is to be considered in the threatened war, it probably will not amount to so very much so far as the world at large is con: cerned for Russia with her standing army of 1,200,000 soldiers and with a total war strength of $4,500,000 ought easily, even with her loosly officered and none too loyal troops to be able to crush the yellow fighters as the emperor of the slowly awakening Chinese empire can claim atotal war strength of but 190,000 men. Russia has 16 battleships, 11 of which are modern: six first-class cruisers; many torpedo -boats -and destroyers and 37 submarines. China’s naval force of one first-class and three second-class cruisers. The present flareup is ‘traced to the treaty of 1881 which China seems disposed to abrozale. Russia demands: Russia’s right to export and im- port duties unlimited except in the 50 verst (Russian mile) zone which 1s duty free. That the extra territorial rights of Kussia and China shall not be ir- fringed, that legal suits involving Russia and Chicese shall be con- That Russians shall enjoy special privileges of trade and duty free commerce in Mongolia and the extra wall provinces. That Russian consulates can be immediately opened at Kobdo, Khami and Guchen. Due respect of local authorities for Russian consuls. Russians to enjoy the right to acquire real estate and. erect struc- tures in Mongolia and the extra wall provinces. Chinese diplomats are inclined to look upon these demands of Russia as an attempt to encroach upon China and thus the complications are exceedingly grave although it is still believed that actual break of hostilities will be avoided.

R Why: Spiders Fight. When two spiders fight there is gen- erally a good reason for the attack and the vigorous defense that follows. It is not -generally known that ufter a certain time spiders become inca- pable of spinning a web from lack of | material. The glutinous excretion from which the slender threads are spun is limited; therefore spiders can- hot keep on constructing new snares when the old ones are destroyed. But they can avail themselves of the web producing powers of ‘their younger | neighbors, and this they do without scruple. As soon as a spider’s web eonstructing .material has become ex- hausted and its last web destroyed it sets out in-search of ‘another home, and .unless it.should chance to find one that is tenantless a battle usually en- .sues, which-ends only with the retreat or death of the invader or defender. A Pretty:Compliment. His incessant work, his avoidance of all rest and recreation and his rigorous self denial made Joseph Pulit- zer in his.days in harness the despair of his family. In this connection a pretty story is told about the famous journalist’s son Ralph. Mr. Pulitzer had refused to take a holiday, and Mrs. Pulitzer ex- claimed: “Did you ever know your father to.do anything because it was pleas- ant?” . “Yes, once—when he married you, Washington Post. You are probably aware that pneu- monia always results from a cold, but you never heard of a cold result- ing in pneumonia when Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy was used.

On one occasion Bianchi, the noted teacher, went on the stage to see Bri- gooli, the famous singer, whom he found pacing up and down like a mad- wan; humming over his-part. “Why, Brig, whatis- the matter with you? Are you uervous?" he asked. “Yes, I am nervous,” was the reply as he walked harder and faster than ever. “But, Brig, you ought not to-be nerv- ous. ['ve.heard you sing the part 200 times. I heard you sing it thirty years ago.” “Thirty years ago! Who are you that should. know. so.much ?” “Who am I?
