the campaign just ended.
After the result is finally de.

and give politics a rest un5il the
issues OF the spring campaign
appear.
Some questionable election
methods are reported from a

more may be heard later.

Virginians and range residents
will be electing the officers for
Iron county,:
The people of the ranges
sympathize with Neil McInnis in
his defeat. He must charge it
to the Duluth hog, however, and
await the o2por tunity of evening
the score.
Duluth is for Duluthians. The
political beliefs of candidates
cut no ice.
If sagacious Uncle Joe had
let it been known "a hours
earlier that he desired certain
nominees beaten the result
might have been different in one
or two instances. The plan was
all right, if viewed in that light,
but was not made early enough
to secure the aid of residents of
the towns and villages of the
ranges.
The Duluth hog took every
thing in sight Tuesday. Some
day when the porker gets fat
there will be invitations to a.
grand slaughter.
A vote for Westcott did not
mean a vote for Middlecof, evi.
dently, and had the Fusionists
been the set of party apeists
that some would picture them
and had carried politics into
their county ticket, Mr.. West
colt would have been elected.
In the defeat of Mr.. NJ. H.
Martin for county treasurer he
is extended the sympathy of
many range republicans. His
vote Is a highly complimentary
one in Mesaba precincts, where
he run far ahead of his ticket.

The active workers in this purity
campaign to destroy Senator Stewart
are Trennor Coffin, ALI. Chartz, A. c.
Cleveland, VIM. Woodburn, Jim Den
MS and H. NJ. Yerington. They are
unwilling to take the people into
their confidence ard let them know
for whom they vote for Senator
They appear to to assume that their
characters are so far above reproach
and their purposes so unseltlsh and
pure hat the people must take them
on trust. The voters are beginning
to inquire who Coffin and Company
would select? If they could elect
their own Legislature and choose a
Senator for themselves would it be
Coffin or Dennis or somebody else,
with an equally pure character and
unsullied reputation? Judging from
the past we doubt very much whether
the people will trust Coffin and his
coadlutors to select a Senator without
inquiring who the man is to be.

OPPRESSION.

The oppression Of Nevada by the
Central Pacific railroad has crushed
the life not only out Of the mining i'll
te1ests of our State, but also out OF
every other kind OF enterprise. Miners
cannot ship concentrates or base ores
TO smelling works because Of exhOrb.-
tant freight rates.-Enterplise.

the Enterprise, doing the very same
thing which it charges against tie

PEELED to close down? Was 1t on &C
count Of the high rates on the c. P.
Or on the V. 4 T?
We charge that it is is the policy OF
the V. & T. r. R. organs to divert
the attention of the people from their
real oppressor by getting up a howl
against the {. ?. which road has
given satisfactory rates OF cattle, hay
lumber, wood, sheep and other things
which are shipped in OF out OF the
State. The c. T. has nothing to do
with the fares and freights on the

the routes traversed by the V. * 7.
because they cannot pay the high
charges for fares and fteights,
The following is a comparison be-
tween the freights and rates on the
c. P. and the V. & 7. which dis
tinctly shows who the real oppressor
OF Nevada is:

Expert Testimony.

Among the papers read before the
pennsylvania Bar association at Della
ware Water Gap last week one of es-
pecial interest was contributed nv
Judge Endlich of Berks county, upon
the use and abuse of expert testimony
II rested upon recognition of the fact
that popular dissatisfaction with this
form Of testimony as it is habituaIly
offered in modern courts is becoming
so intense that either the grounds for
this dissatisfaction will nave to he re-
moved or that form of testimony itself
wholly abandoned.
Three classes object to prevailing
methods as to expert testimony. The
public in general, those directly en-
gagged in administration of the law, and
experts Themselves. The first say such
testimony now costs more than il is
worth; the second say 1t is so easily
riddled and tangled up on cross-exam-
ination that 1t is OF small value in in
nuencing jurors, and the last complain
because there is no protection for gen-
uine Specialists and too little opportun-
ity under the customary limitations for
them to make their testimony pat and
ineligible.
judge Endlich considered at length
various propositions for reform but
finally summarized in this wise his

HEROES OF WAR AND PEACE

Ay, that is a story that takes ones
breath
How the men rowed out in the face OF
death.
Rowed as calmly as fishermen may
Who haul their nets at the break of day,
But never was fish net hauled in the
weather
That rifle and cannon and shell together
Rained on those sailors who drew from
its bed
The wise sea serpent ana crushed its
head.
Heroes of war are they! Song and story
Shall add their names to the list OF glory,
But where is the story and where is the
song
For the heroes of peace and the martyrs
of wrong?
They fight their battles In shop and mine;
They die at their post and make no sign.
And the living envy the fortunate dead
AS they fight for the pittance of butter
less bread
lntS leIu like DtdSlS III a SlduBnltI pen,
They live like cattle and suffer like men.
Why set by the horrors of such life,
Like a merry-go-round seems the battles $
strife:
And the open sea and the open boat,
And the deadly cannon with believing
throat
oh, what are they all, with death thrown
in,
TO the life that has nothing to lose or
win
The life that has nothing to hope or gain
But ill-paid labor and beds Of pain?
Fame, where is your story, and where is
your song
For The martyrs of peace and the VIC
Tins of wrong?
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Admiral Ceryera.

The brave old admiral who is now a
prisoner ir our hands deserves and will
receive from us all the respect and
consideration due to his age his rank
and his valor, If Spain had a few men
of the mental calibre of Cervera in
her councils she would not have been
reduced to the pitiful depths of humili-
alton in which she now founders. Ger
vera did his best. and mortal can do no
more. He went to Santiago, not be-
cause he thought ii best to do so, but
because he was ordered there. He
endeavored TO leave it. because the
same fatuous commands forced him to
sail out in the face of fleet vastly
superior to his own.
Let us not forget the part which this
old admiral played in Hobson's heroic
exploit. Hobson and his men were
spared their lives through the almost
unparalleled magnarimity of Admiral
Cervcra. When Hobson and his COM
panions were lying on the deck of the
Merrimac and the hail of shell and bull
lets had ceased to play over them, a
steam launch approached to reconnoi-
tire the position of the sunkcn vessel
As soon as the marines in the launch
saw the crew of the Merrimac still
above water they presented their rifles
to fire. Hobson asked if there was an
officer on board to accept the surren-
der of prisoners of war, and happily
Tor him and his comrades, the admiral
himself was aboard and accepted their
surrender at once. If some other Span-
ish officer had happened to be on the
launch, who did not know English. he
might have thought 1t his duty to allow
his mon to fire then and there. Nor
should we forget, indeed, we do not
forget any of these things. that Ger
vera, true and chivalrous eentleman n
and sailor that he is. Immediately in
formed Admiral Sampson of the safety
oi Hobson and his companions.
1t will afford the American peopIe
pleasure TO show by their treatment OF
this venerable prisoner of war that JUS
tice and magnanimity with them are
superior TO prejudice.

sions of European powers; people whose
safety lay in isolation, seeing that, only
with the utmost difficulty had it emerged
from the War of Independence. More
over. when Washington wrote. no man
could foresee that the locked up regions
of China, Corea and japan would ever
be thrown open to trade; much less could
any one forecast the present and prospec-
tive Importance of our commercial inter-
ests in the Middle Kingdom. AS mat
ter of fact, it was by us that japan ana
Corea were unsealed, and we have SO
largely profited by England's opening OF
China that next to her. we have the larS-
est share in the commerce of the Middle
Kingdom. In view of what we already
possess, we have right to look forward
through cooperation either with England
or with Russia, to an honorable and lu-
crative participation in the vast indus
trial development which is awaiting the
Celestial Empire. But how can our IN
terests be safeguarded how can our just
claims be made good, how can our wishes
be expressed at Pekin with the weight
which assures fulfilment, unless we are
able, in the last resort, to enforce our
demands by arms? How would such en-
forcement be possible I'm these days or
steam, unless we had in the neighbor-
hood of China, stations for coaling and re-
pair? Those stations have been given 10
our hands by the god of battles at Cavite,
and. if we now surrender them, we re-
nounce the right to lift voice hereafter
against the partition of the Middle King
dom and against the destruction OF our
Chinese trade. Keep Manila, and we
should be a precious ally to Russia or TO
England Give it up, and we should be
regarded as Of relatively small account.
We should have practically abdicated
freedom of access to over four hundred
millions of human beings. We should
have had our chance to share the prizes
of earth, and should have missed it.
The notion that we should encounter
any insuperable difficulty in the establish
ment of law and order throughout the
Philippines is one that will not bear in
spection. When we annexed the huge
Louisiana Territory, it was inhabited by
Indians, if we except a few scattered set
Elements peopled by white men and half
breeds. The same thing was true of
Florida The same thing was true of Cal
ifornia aud of the great tracts obtained
from Mexico in 1913. The same thing was
true of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
What we have done in the green tree we
surely can do in the dry. 1t is absurd TO
assume that a nation like ours. which has
subjugated a continent cannot occupy
and assimilate group of islands like the
Philippines.

views OF the changes now feasible:
First. the formation of a stricter deti-
milton of expert capacity. Second. the
reasonable limitation of the number of
experts to be called in any case. Third,
the designation of such experts by the
court upon nomination by the parties.
Fourth, the abolition OF the hypotheti-
cal question. Fifth, the summoning by
the trial judge of an expert Of his
own choice to serve as assessor, or as
n witness to review the expert testi-
mony already in, or as both. Sixth,
the payment of experts out of the pub
lie treasury. at least in the first in
stance.
The foregoing programme viii un-
doubtedly commend itself to public
opinion. Ignorance alone questions the
value of scientific knowledge when ap-
piled impartially and intelligently TO
the determination of justice. The eN-
pert witness has his place in the courts.
But be needs to be put and kept in
that place and not permitted to fire
his knowledge into the air or use 1t
rather to becloud than to elucidate the
points at issue.

The Rough Riders have shown them
selves literally entitled to rank with the
bravest OF the brave. Out of 56S men who

leaving only 359 in condition for service
This is a record which proves the mettle
