RUSSIAN JiLl'l CALLED The general sympathy of the puolic in this country is undeniably with Japan, in the present war with Russia Russia was caught napping by the and has from all reports about lost her navy as a consequence.

Russia was putting up a big bluff and was called. The slowness of her tion in defending her interests when attacked shows that she did not preciate the fact that she had a live and up-to-date opponent to deal with. The fact that Russia was evidently trying to deceive Japan in the ations preceeding the war, and was unable to do so, is also apparent. In other words the nations of the world who are spectators of the conflict have reason to believe that Russia was ply trying to gain undue advantage all the time in steadily encroaching on Chinese territory which she had agreed to evacuate after the Chinese turbance. The statements of the Japanese ambassadors and government bear the stamp of sincerity and their ations for war and the care with which opening hostilies were arranged show that Japan realized that she had to fight to maintain her position in the far east as an independent and progressive nation.

Russia has shown that she was not alive to the ation. Residents in this country who have escaped from Russia are said to be. indifferent to the success of their native country which they left for a better governed one. On the other hand Japanese citizens in the Un ted States are enthusiastic and loyal to their native land and will do all in their power to aid her. The repressive, autocratic and liberty destroying policy of the Russian government has alienated the hearts of most of her subjects, and with a heavy back tire at home from the Socialist and Nihilist I J': M' Iteoo a oo I 50 1 fo .75 MUST CAKKY FLOCK OIIKAP.

ID response to a toast regarding the building of the big steamers Dakota and Minnesota. J. .1. Hill at the launching at New Feb. ti, said: "I want to thank you all for the sympathy and support you have given us by coming to witness the launching of the Dakota.

Some of the people down in Wall street seem to furnish us with what they call a merchant marine. They have merchant ines and such things to sell. But somehow or other the ships we Can get that way turn ouc to be no good. If we want good ships wo must build them ourselves. Every standard of life in our country is er and better than it is anywhere else, except one thing, and that thing transportation.

Transportation is the problem which confronts the industrial future of this country. It we would gain and keep the markets of the world we must furnish cheap transportation. If we fail in this, these great sister ships which you have seen, the Minnesota and the Dakota, will soon be for I mean s-a-l-e and not s-a-i-1. I mean they will soon be under the hammer of the auctioneer. "The problem of inland tion was a hard one, but we have solved it).

The problem of ing goods across the Alantic was cult, but we have at last made a good start at solving it. The problem of conveying the products of our rich and fertile land across the Pacific is most difficult of all. I'm not afraid to tackle it. All I'm afraid of is a lire in the rear. "I hope and believe we will soon have more ships on the Pacific.

1 hope and believe we, in America, will not adopt that malady which they call in Britain fiscalitis. 1 hope that those who control the affairs of this nation will always realize that the conquests of commerce area hundred times more to be than the conquest of war. "Do you know what we have to do in transportation in order to make the Oriental markets Do you know just what the problem is? I will tell you. In order to carry our business to the Orient we've got to carry a barrel of flour from St. Paul or I t.1 element which her policy has created, there may be an era of retribution for the Czars government at hand.

Little Japan is fighting a mighty power and endeavoring to stop the insatiable desire of the Russians to gain control of all Asia and to make the Emperor of Russia the Emperor of Asia. The nations of Europe on the west and south have headed off this plan of the.autocrat of the sians, and he turns to the far east to proceed with his career of plunder of other peoples land and oppression of other nations weaker than nis. RUSSIAN PROJECTS UISCLOSEU. American consuls write to ton that Russia has spent a great deal of money in internal improvements in Manchuria and northern China, a sum estimated to be not less She has built cities, ilroads, fortifications mills and factories, and has been going ahead as if she never expected any opposition, to secure the trade of China for the Russian pire. No foreigners except Chinamen are allowed to invest in those districts or go into any business enterprise.

The ultimate aim of Russia is ly not only to gobble up the markets of northern China for herself but to get the trade of all Asia under her paw. A specimen of her enterprise in Manchuria is the buikling up of bin, a Russian town of people exclusive of the soldiery. Three pears ago its population did notexcetd 12,000. Now it has flour mills, ories. breweries, and all the prises of a growing city, all Russian.

It has a rich country all around and has thirty railroad trains a day. sul Milier from the town of New Chwang, says that Russia has spent in railways in Manchuria. It looks as if the "open aoor" in the east will not long remain open to other nations if Russia is not stopped by other powers from her march of Chinese conquest. The knowledge of this fact by Japan may have been one of imain sons why she began the war or made preparations for a war to resist sia. Japan may have assumed that the interests of other nations like England, France, Germany and the United States, and particularly this country, would demand that they, in case of need, come to the Japs rescue and say to Russia, "Hold on there! Let the world have an open door into China for trade and commerce." And such may come to pass.

The active efforts of Secretary Hay to get all the leading powers to agree to the same program with regard to Russia and the possible outcome of the war, seem to be precautions that look to forcing Russia into ence with the "open door" policy, without blood shed or force from other nations. It looks aiso, as if the interests of America, in a commercial way, were in good hands, and that the welfare of humanity in the precaution for preventing a general war in case Russia should prevail in the present tight, were being considered as well. War and its expenses in the far east will no doubt make good prices for the farm products of North Dakota and the other northwestern states next year. Wheat raisers will start in with the advantage of a short ply in the country generally, and prices to expect from a legitimate shortage. If the war lasts as it seems it may, the demand on the United States for food will be increasing all the time.

These conditions of course can not last, but may offset the vantage over the United States that Canada will have in case the berlain protective tariff is placed on wheat exported from this country to England. The home consumption of our food stuff is rapidly increasing, and the tendency of farmers to take up diversified farming to make the family living, encourage the outlook for farm results in this state in the near future. A number of exchanges around the state are in the habit of ireferring to sick persons examined by the insanity boards of the various counties, for commitment to the asylum as being "arraigned on the charge of insanity and given over to the custody of the sheriff," the same as if the patients were convicted criminals. This lessness in mentioning such cases in the above manner is highly annoying to relatives and to many of the tients themselves. Such cases of ness, weakness and mental ment are not criminal, out the laws are so worded regarding applications for state hospital treatment of the sane that it often read as if the sick person was some criminal turned over to the sheriff for punishment.

Chicago. Feb. for May delivery sold during the day at a bushel a jump of two and threequarter cents above Saturday's final figures.
