WHY HE LOST.
G. C. Clemens Explanation of His

While C. c. Clemens was down at

to tell why he was defeated for mayor

THE THREAT OF THE BEAR.

Sweden and Norwav's strained relations present more than menace of war leading to the erection of two separate Gov ernments.
 Russia's absorption ofthe Duch- ' of Finland indicates that Rus sian desire for extension Is not limited to the south or east, but would find expression in west ward movement if a favorable opportunity presented. Should an armed contest between Nor way and Sweden arise, Russia might take advantage of the opening thus afforded and send troops from Finland into the Scandinavian peninsula and oc- cupy 1t as her own possession.
 There wouldno doubt be stout objections from England and the Continental powers, but Russia has had similar objections in territorial matters to meet in the past, and has managed by force or compromise to overcome them.
 United States, Sweden and Norway could present a formida- ble front to any such contem- plated aggression.
