revealed. 1t seems as if Russia had
purposely schemed to put Japan into a
painful and disadvantageous position.
BY waiting until the great bulk of the
japanese army had crossed the cOnti-
nent, she certainly strengthened her
own hand, for now the troops are 1000
miles from their base of supplies, and
the powerful Russian feet may keep
them isolated or prevent their return
home.
Germany's purpose is hardly less
clear, though the language of her COM
munication is so needlessly offensive
that a mask Of braggadocio might per-
haps be suspected.
France exhibits no wanton discount
esy, and the belief is strong that she
was anwillingly led into the league,

Of her newly-born affection for the

II Virginia proposes to celebrate the
Fourth of July, the time is ripe for the
initiative. The sentiment of the poo
plo generally seems to tend that way,
and it is reasonable to assume that quite
fund could be raised for that purpose.

our point of view there is bnt one coun-

So, before the moo wanes and wakes

in order that we may fttingly observe

days. Virginia is celebrated for its
Fourth of July festivities, but let as
make an effort to eclipse our past ef-

The miners of Philipsburg evidently
share the belief Of the knights of the
dark ages, that might makes right.
Their action last Sunday. in l~iberating
a miner from jail who had been ar

charge of murder, is an outrage
against law and order in Montana.
The miners claim that the county
officials Overstepped the bounds of their
authority in holding McCloskey. the
man arrested. If such was the case
they had their legal redress and should
not have openly rebelled against the

it was ably supported by Mr.. Clark of

changes the lines of the present one.
The northern portion of the western
