If all our desires were granted our
delights would be gone. Rain's Iloru.
A recent attempt to reduce the dally
tours of female factory workers at
Preiberg, Germany, was opposed, on
the grounds that compcti.iou with
Italy, Japan and China would not per
mit it, and that, If factory life were
made too nttractlvc, domestic help
Trould be still more d!Q:ult to obtain
than It is now.
Mr. (or is It Mrs.?) T. W. II. Cros
land, the distinguished author of "Un
lovely Man," eays: "A man who sings
love songs to a crowd of women in the
afternoon ought to be taken In charge
by the police." What good would that
do? When a woman wants something
in tho afternoon the world stops turn
Ins until she gets it. .
That the Japanese do love Japan Is
evidenced by the fact that only 12.",
C71 of the Mikado's subjects reside
Abroad, seventy-two per cent, of whom
are In tho United States. Not one of
the whole number has foresworn alle
giance to Japan, and every one of them
holds himself in readiness to auswer
the war call of his emperor.
In conferring an honorary doctorate
upon William Dean llowells, Oxford
University shows its appreciation of
an American author who, in an age" of
over-production and smug self-satisfaction,
has set for himself high stand
ards not only of literary craftmanship,
but also cf public responsibility for
right thinking and for helpful service
towards the amelioration of the com
mon lot, comments the Boston Tran
script. No man now writing in L'ng-
laud has a better understanding of
6tyle; for the matter of that, none is
more honest in his attitude toward his
art, nono is a finer critic, both keen-
sighted nad sympathetic, than this
American author, trained first in the
'American newspaper oflice, country
and metropolitan, and then the niaga
rlnes of tho United Spates, and wholly
independent of the convential "educa
tioa" afforded by American colleges.
Looking at the Russo-Japanese Wai
from tho standpoint of friendliness
toward ths Russian people, which
-would benefit r.romw
" thcirorDr5,J-CDt or ll,at Govern
ment's utter, ud humiliating defeat?
It Is true thatj as a rule, a Woplo has
as good a government as it deserves,
nut when a people, through custom or
Inertia, or military despotism, is cursed
with such a rotten and incompetent
aristocratic bureaucracy as rules the
Russians and their czar, what other
way for sharp improvement is thero
but the complete abasement of the bu
reaucracy? Anger and shame are two
of tho mo? effective prods in the ar
mory of pi ogres?. To know the Rus
sian people Is to like them, Is to admire
them-and, alas, to pity them. They
are ready fur tho greatest forward step
since Czar Peter brought them into
touch with Western civilization. It
may be that Japan is to be the Instru
meat of this.
Rut, after all, we really have not lost
the amount of gold we seem to have,
declares tho New York Press. While
we have sent in May SoS.000.000 gold
to Franc wo rccioved about 7,000.000
from Japan on the Pacific Coast. The
latter influx reduced our May net loss
to $31.0)0,000. I'rom January 1 to
April CO our net excess of gold imports
over exports was about .?S,o00.000. The
country's actual net loss of gold by tho
international Movements, therefore,
has bee a only ?22,300,000. In the

Showing What's Doing In
SUGAR BEETS.
Xew Scale of lrlrr end l)lt-!on of
Territory,
The Michigan Beet Sugar Manufac
turers' association has determined to
take the last step toward meeting the
demands of farmer in an effort to In
duce the planting of sutHeient acreage
to supply the factories of the state and
will for next season offer three forms
of contractu. The action ha been un
der consideration fur months and was
not agreed upon until after the Sanilac
Sugar Co. Insisted upon being permit
ted to put out a ll.tt rate contract.' The
company Insisted that without it it
could not get sutHeient beets t make
it worth while to Mart the factory.
The other factories, after four months
of discussion, agreed on condition tint
the association adopt the new plan as a
whole. As a consequence farmers will
ho glveii the choice of n contract pay
ing $3 per ton flat, for beets delivered
on earn, factories paying the freight,
or the old contract at $4 30 pa ton
for 12 per cent beets and ".1 1-3 cents
additional for each additional per cent
of sugar. It is claimed by the factories
that the Hat rate will appeal to only
such farmers as do not care to im
prove crops r.nd wish only to be sure of
money; tint it will lie detrimental to
factories, as bigger acreage will be
grown at the expense of sugar percent
age, while farmers accepting the slid
ing scale will naturally pay attention
to culture to secure the largest propor
tion of acreage with the, largest per
centage of sugar.
The division of territory has also
been decided upon for both this and
next year and it is announced thai
there will be no cutting Into each
other's territory by factories.

The .Japanese left Wgan pressing the
Russians toward Tat .ho at dawn this

The news that the city of Liao Yang
lias fallen and the Ilussian army re
treated to the right bank of the Talt.se
river reached only a small section of
the people of St. Petersburg at a late
hour and caused intense excitement
and disappointment.
Thursday's dispatches indicated that
the tide of battle around Lino Vang
had turned appreciably in favor of the
Japanese. With a tremendous and sus

and threatened In his rear by a heavy
force, which hnd crossed the Taltse
river, Kuropatkiu was forced to aban
don Liao Vang and cross the Taltse
river.
A St. Petersburg dispatch says his
order was given last night after the
Uussiatis had withstood an artillery
and infantry attack from dawn to mid
night, but that the Japanese pressure
was toj great to permit its being exe

that a retrograde movement at that

When asked for his reason for bo

nier related the following experience:
"I recommend , Dodd's Kidney
Pills because they cured mo of Dia
betes. I suffered with my kidneys
for a long time and suffered terribly
from those Urinary Troubles that aro

"Then I started to use Dodd's Kid

cured my kidneys, regulated my wa
ter and made me feel like a hearty
young man."
Dodd's Kidney Pills make the old
feel young because they make sound
kidneys. Sound kidneys mean health
and health is the other name for
youth.
