The committee adjourned without inking amy definite action, but l seems to be tbe opinion of the com mtttee members that the present plans should bo retained so far practical nnd only tbe centor part of the structure be erected at'thls time, the wings to be added when funds aw available. Tho • proposition cheapen tho structure so as to bring the cost within the present appro* prlutlon met with little favor. was the general opinion thnt a $10,- 000 building could not be con- strutted so as to be a credit to tho city. The architect's estimate was sub stuntlally the same, whether rein- •cd concrete, artificial atone brick veneer was usod.

As a rale the sentiment of this coon try, aa shown by the press, favors con servatlve methods for men wbo, what' ever the namo given them, seek to chance the face of thlugs In Russia This la tbe most noticeable because of tbe natural impatience of tbe American people wltb every form of political oppression and social Injustice. It Is certain that we do not understand thr condition* In Russia ns we do those of other countries, nnd modesty demands that we take care not to about/With tbe wrong crowd. Had Gorky come here to give a solier account "of tbe faith I that la within" him aud tbe revolutionists ror whom be speaks, we would have listened eagerly and perhaps have backed up armed rolxtlllon against tbe powers that he In St Petersburg. But the fact la that tbe government of Bo* sin hilt shown Itself capable of flctiiliiK a foreign war and keeping order at home among swarms of discontented and mongrel masses, and as things go lixlny lite American pul>l|e Maud* by the systom wblcb does things. If tbe Russian people were all In tbe plight of some of those races ruled by the sultan of Turkey und tbe revolu tiou ln danger of a setback after being naif won, the -American people would bo the first to push It along, as was done In tho case of Cube. Russia In In tbe process of political transformation. Her people and ber rubra know and recognise It. and there are partli working blindly, not wholly convluced that tbe way they have espoused Is the right one or that tbe way of thc opposition Is wrong. The best minds of Russia havo spoken on the crisis within the past two years, and not a note of despair worth serious ntteutlon lias been bonrd. The burden of every great speech baa been that Russia Is not ready for radical changes. Surely the' men on the spot must know, nnd If conditions are Intolerable must know that too. Americana are as little acquainted with tho state or affairs in Russia iu they are with tbe dominions of tbe sultan.' When stories of Jewish in.u-.i- cres, "Moody Sundays" nnd Cossack whips are cabled over lu-ro tbe first Impulse Is to say tliat the government tolerating these monstrosities In tlie twentieth century ought to be wiped out as n relic of barbarism. Russia's commerce, her big cities, ber Institutions end her progress In spite of autocratic rule nre lost eight of. It could probably be demonstrated that, considering her vast extent, her mixed races, her distance from the centers of culture. RiHHln's progress gcuorully In the nineteenth century was fully equal to that of the other great nations t Ktirono. However thnt may lw, Russia is now too great, too mngtililcent and too promising to be glveu orer to fire aud sword, to civil war and anarchy. Her example of persistence under difficulties, even If she staggers on for another generation, U too good to be lost. Witte surely Is not tbe one man In all Russia for whom Roosevelt's description, "u Bplendld fellow," woold prove s fit. Such men do not grow np lu unpeopled deserts. Ills mind has played upon others und other minds upon bis. Splendid fellows are made by rubbing up against other splendid fellows, nnd the history of fifty years of Llltcrnl agitation nnd forward march under tbe shadow of the autocracy, from the emancipation of tbe serfs In 18(11 to the assembling of the douma In lOOS, la proof that Bosnia has no lack of "tbe men to make a state." Revolutions are more Interesting to look at and to think about then mere* transformations, but tbe secret of all lasting change Ilea In tbe words of Euripides, "Slowly but surely withal moves the might of the gods." Ants No More Trouble Get a Bottle of WEINOARTNER'S Ant Exterminator American oil Is sold for much lees than any other ln China, and tbe boycott on American products Is evaded by the merchant "borrowing" the boycotted article from tho Importers end "loaning" It to tbe consumer. This wsy of covering a transaction would be smart ln a life Insurance official. and use •according to the directions and you will soon get rid of this troublesome little pest. Positively guaranteed.
