While some patrons of the post office will feel themselves inconven- inced by the new order of the post- master general concerning Sunday work for postal clerks and carriers, we believe the majority of people will recognize the justice and wisdow of the order. The enormous amount of Sunday work in the leading post offices in the country is a matter of growth, and of comparatively recent growth. . Sunday work at the Bemidji post office was increasing at a rapid rate, and it would not be long before it would require as many hours on Sunday as many week days.

It seems almost superfluous to urge such a matter upon the attention of those whose business it is to raise things, but experience has demon- strated that farmers are often care- less in this most vital item.

A Real Governor. Woodrow Wilson, the scholar in politics, as governor of New Jersey has shown the professional politicians that they don’t know the first prin. ciples of the game. Elected as an eminently respectable, but harmless gentleman, he has taken the bit in his teeth and is a real governor. He has defeated the reactionary candidate of his party for the United States senate, he has forced the state legislature to comply with the wishes of the people and enact a primary election law, and he has kicked out the state chairman of his party because he was false to the best sentiment of the people. He has ina few short months made himself the most talked of public man in America, and all because he has played the political game in the interest of the people who put him in office. He looms large as a potential canditate forthe presidency in 1912.—Hutchinson Leader. In cases of rheumatism relief from pain makes sleep and rest possible.

Sweet Sarcasm. “Daddy, what makes your nose so dreadfully red?” asked a little boy of his father one day at dinner. “The east wind, of course!” the father answered grufily. *“Pass that decanter-and don’t talk so much.” “Yes, Tommy,” said the boy’s moth er sweetly, “‘pass your father the east wind .and be careful not to spill any ! on the tablecloth!”—London Mail.

Johnson’s Dictionary does not recognize its existence. It does not occur before 1760, and even in 1802 a military dictionary had to define it as ‘“a sort of spatterdashes.” ‘“Guetre,” however, the French original, goes back at least to the fifteenth century, and the origin of that is lost, though etymologists compare all sorts of words in all sorts of languages, includ- ing an old German word for a baby’s christening cloth. The one certainty is that gaiters has nothing to do with gait in spite of the punning line in the “Rejected Addresses”—“Lax in their gaiters, laxer in their gait.”—London Btandard.

Leave it for ten minutes, then rub it again with the turpentine and scrape it carefully to remove any loose dirt. Next sponge the collar with a little alcohol and keep wiping it until it is dry. Hang it up in an airy place for an hour or two and it will look as good as new.— Boston Herald.

SECRET TREATY SHOWN T0 TAFT = The University Correspondent re- | Cause of Hasty Movement of Troops to Border. ULTINATOM TO MEXICO 8ister Republic Given Six Days to Abrogate Agreement With Japan in Which the Latter Country Was Giv- en a Coaling Station and Other Con- cessions—Diaz Government Meekly Complies With Demands. New York, April 11.—The Sun prints the following from the City of Mexico: - “Facts of the most significant char- acter bearing upon the reason for the sudden mobilization a montu ago oi 20,000 American troops at three points within striking distance of the Mex- ican border have become known here. “Henry L. Wilson, United States ambassador to Mexico, many months ago realized the strong antipathy of Mezxicang of all classes toward the United States and he began a quiet investigation. “He learned through certain steam- ship snd railroad officials that for the last cighteen months every ship of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha coming into Seattle, and of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, into San Francisco, was carrying from 20 to 150 Japanese, passage paid, all of whom were bound for Mexico, where they had been granted tracts for cotton and corn raising. “During February the ambassador obtalned the original of a secret treaty between Japan and Mexico. He kept it long enough to have a photograph made of it and then it was returned to its place in the archives of the Mex- ican state department. Japan Secured Coaling Station. “The clauses of the secret treaty gave Japan a lease of a coaling station and maneuver grounds in Magdalena bay with the alternative of a coaling statlon at one other of the few scat- tered ports down the main coast. It also gave a Japanese commercial line of steamships permission to have its own coaling station at a point on th Pacific coast and granted certain other colonization rights in the state along the western coast. The treaty, while not stipulating an offensive and defen- sive alliance, gave in a diplomatic way Japan’s keen interest in the protection of Mexico against aggression. “The treaty had been ratified, not by the Mexican senate, but by Diaz and his cabinet. “The day after he had obtained the + photograph Mr. Wilson took the train | for Washington. He wired to the state department of his coming and of the | urgency of his mission. When he ar- rived in Washington the cabinet was already in session with the president. The ambassador laid before the presi- dent and his advisers the evidence he had brought with him. Rapid Action Is Taken. “That was in the morning. At noon Chief of Staff Wood received an fm- perative summons to the White House and he interrupted his lunch to obey. He was closeted with the president and cabinet for several hours. “That night the building of the war department was ablaze with lights and orders were going out for the mobiliza Hon which has excited so much specu- lation ever since. “Then Mr. Wilson hurried to New York to see Senor Limantour, who had Just returned from Europe. The Mexi- can finance minister was informed that Mexlco had just six days in which to abrogate the secret treaty and that It this was not done the United States government would take whatever ac- tion it should see fit to defend itself against the beth Mexico and Japan. “Within a week of Limantour’s re- turn to Mexico the order went from ‘Washington recalling all American warships from Mexican waters. This was the only outward sign that Mexico had complied with the demands of the American government.” SAYS THE STORY IS ABSURD President Quick to Deny Latest Japa- nese War Scare. ‘Washington, April - 11.—President Taft moved swiftly to deny the latest Japanese war scare-stary. Through Senator Burton of Ohio the president made an emphatic de- nial of the report from Mexico City that a proposed treaty between Japan and Mexico caused the movement of troops to Texas. “The president authorized me,” said Senator Burton, “to deny in most em- phatic terms the story from Mexico City about a secret treaty between Mexico and Japan. There is not one word of truth in it.” The Laziest People. There is no doubt that the Malays are among the laziest people in the world. Except in rare cases they will not take the trouble to learn when they are young, and afterward, if they have learned, they will not exert themselves to apply their knowledge to any object which require a sustained effort. That they possess effort is known to any one who has seen Malays engaged in any enterprise which savors or sport. They do not mind the trouble if there is only some risk and excite- ment in the work.—Times of Malaya. Watered. “If you are looking for bargains,” sald the broker, “I can suit you.

Sir Philip Sidney rewived his death wound befors the walls of Zutphen on Sept. 22, 1586. Puarched with thirst, he called for a drink. As he was putting the bottle to his mouth his eyes fell upon a desperately wounded soldler who as he was being carried past threw _ him longing glances, “which Sir Philip perceiving took the bottle from his lips before he drank and delivered to the poor man with these words: ‘T'hy necessity 1§ greater than mine.’” = At the battle of Ravenna in 1512, when the allied Spanish and papal forces were defeated by the renowned Gaston de Foix, Dumolard, one of his | captains, played a conspicuous part. After a gallant charge, by which he bad driven back the enemy, he deter- mined to publicly drink the health of Empser, the ‘leader of the 5000 Ger- man lasquenets. - Wine was brought upon the @eld, and, baving sat down, each hero filled his goblet.
