The Weekly Pioneer Press,
The Best Family Journal in tn
Northwest.

No intelligent family in Minnesota or
in the Northwest, which does not take
the Daily, can afford TO do without the
WEEKLY PIONEER PRESS. No
other Weekly in the State compares
with it in the extent, completeness, va
riety and interest of its news and read
ing matter, and no Weekly published
outside of the State is adapted like the
Pioneer Press to the local wants and in
terests Of Minnesota and adjacent States
and Territories.
In addition to the general features OF
newspaper and family journal, it's full
and accurate MARKET reports of St. Paul.
Minneapolis. Milwaukee, Chicago, and
all great grain and produce centres, and
its FARM and STOCK department, edited
by a leading agricultural writer of long
experience, render it especially valuabl,
to farmers; while its HOUSEHOLD DE-
PARTMENT made up of the contributions
OF intelligent Minnesota women in every
part of the State, is a universal favOritc
with the family circle. The Pioneer
Press is indispensable tx any family in
this northwestern region which wishes
to keep posted on its local events, enter
prises, politics, public affairs, and dis
'cussions affecting the Interests of all
classes Of its people.

PA TERNAL GOVERNMENT

We have of late frequently observed OBJ
iections made To proposed measures upon
The ground that they wonld tend TO cstab-
iish patcrnal government We cannot see
the farce of such nm objection when made n
re 'son for opposing legislation Of any kind
under democratic ioim Of government. II
must I've Admitted that in snrh a govern
mcnt the people have n right 10 make such
use Of their power as they may think will
best promote their interests u follows,
therefore, that the authority which repub-
lican government exercises is still one Of
by and for the people, no matter how many
or how few the powers may be with which
il may he clothed.
We think, therefore, that the anxiety is
uncallcd for which seeks 10 protect the peo-
pie from themselves ny saying that they
Ought TO call upon the Government TO do as
few things as possible. The question Is
only one Of eKpeiency in any given case,
Whatever powers tho Government may
have, he they few or many, they are inst
snch rs are given to il by the will Of the
people, and is therefore popular and not
paiernal. A pateInal government is one
which is imposed npon the people agains,
their wishes, and which exercises n control
over the detail of their affairs without the
consent of the governed. There is u wide
distinction between such government and
one established and controlled by the people
no matter how extensive and minute its
powers may he. Paternnl governments, In
the sense In which the term is used rs ap'
phed to those of Europe, cannot exist in
this free country.

THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

There Is great dea, Of legislation needed

tained by the direct action Of Congress, The
laws Of the District should be codi6ed. This

time Az the necessity for such revision
h very urgent, IL would be expedicnt TO
have an act of Congress passed early in the
merit session authorizing the appointment Of
. commission 10 codify our laws as pro.
posed.
But in addition to the codication of the
laws already in existence there is need for
new legislation In regard to many matters
OF importance. II is impossible for the Of

THE VICTIMS OF MARS.

According to the World French statistcian

human beings killed In battle or carried of by
disease during the wars of the nineteenth GEN.

progress, of science, and Of humanity" Not
withstandng the general peace" which
reigned between the great powers" with lit
tie or no interruption from tho downfall Of
NAPOLEON in 1915 to the Crimean war in
1854, it Is literally true that civilized men
have been fighting In one part of the world or
another without cessation ever since this
model century began. The great wars Of the
French Empire ragged from 1901 to 1915 with
secondary fighting during the same period In
the New World between Spain and her colo
mics after 1909 aud 1910, aud between Eng
land and the United States In 1912. The war
Of Greek independence broke out In 1922, and
the Legitimist invasion Of Spain by France
took place in 1879, leaving that country q leg
acy Of mercilcss civil conflicts not yet worked
out to their final consummation. The Russo
Turkish war Of 1923 followed which ended,
as Count MoLrKE puts It, "in bringing 10000
Russians to Adrianople at the cost Of 5000
lives and thousand millions Of roubles. AZ

the Franco-Belgic war against Holland. the

mutiny, by the French expedition to Syria, by
the Fnnco-Itaian war OF 1850, by the civil
war in the United States, by the Anglo French
expedition to China, by tho Danish war, by
the allied war with Paraguay, by the French
invasion Of Mexico, by the Austro-P Prussian

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.

The attack upon the Messrs CAMERON

publican ssnvention by Major A. WILSON
NORRIS, who has been until quite recently

naturally prOiuced profound sensation
among Republicans everywhere. II is re-
garded hy some as defiant declaration Of

Major WINsLow's speech was made without
even consulting the Governor, and purely
npon his own responsibility. A rupture be-
w-en these high Republican leaders can
only result in seriously injuring the party
