If things had gone differently Dom

wouldn't it look better, after getting
into trouble, to remain ana see it out?
Twenty years ago Seattle, Spokane

The city government of London has
been reorganized, and 202 different dis
tricts have been merged into twenty
eight municipalities, each with it's own
mayor, board of aldermen and bor
Ough councillors. There are altogeth-
er 253 aldermen and 1,56S councillors.

The tendency % regard lightly the
taking or stealing of property is an
| unsound spot in our civilization. 1t
| is deplorable jest that "the man who
| steals loaf of bread is a thief, and
| the man who steals a million is ii
| financier." Such a saying would be
impossible here under strict code
of morality. Severest condemnation
should be visited upon all thieves, be
their thefts large or small. There is
a disposition everywhere to gloss over
the crime of taking money or property
belonging to others, notably so in bank
| wrecking.
MacArthur's DEAN list from the
Philippines will soon stop coming-de-
pending of course UPON whether or
| not the prediction of the republican
orator comes true that the Filipinos
| will give up as soon as they learn that
| Mckinley was reelected. We hope
so, the killing of men should stop,
and all the woe attending the move
ments of armed forces.
Nearly every one burns up thet
leaves from the trees. They should
be raked up into pile, and a compost
heap made which when rotted will
make the choicest material for the
plants in the spring.
A measure of interest will come be-
fore congress this winter, known as
| Grout bill, which provides for the
on-coloring of oleomargarine in i'm

ers of Minnesota who are among the
best butter makers in the land.
Spain has sent a call TO her former
colonies to come to Madrid and con-
slider their joint commercial and po-
litieal interests. South and Central
American countries, with Mexico, are
expected to oe represented, while
Italy, Portugal and France show their
sympathy with the movement. BY
unloading her expensive colonies it
may be that Spain may rehabilitate
herself in South and Central America,
and retain something of the prestige
and power which have slipped away
from her, measurably through her own
arrogance and misgovernment. The
people of these countries are Spanish
and they have a race pride and fond
ness for the mother land.
| November 12 the supreme court will
take up one of the most important
questions upon which that body has
had to pass in recent years-that of
the constitutional rights OF the Porto
Ricans and the Filipinos and the legal
status of the islands acquired bythis
country as result of the war with
Spain. Not since the controversy
over the validity of the income tax law
which by decision of five to four was
declared to be unconstitutional, has
the highest judicial tribunal of the
nation been called upon to render a
decision of greater public interest.
| There is prospect of trouble with
Germany over the proposed transfer
of the island of Margarita to Ger
many in satisfaction of certain claims
which Germany holds over Venezuela.
The claims are old ones and were be-
ing pressed when President Cleve
land, in 1895, took firm stand
against England's encroachments up
on Venezuela. Germany is again
pressing the case and the South Amer
ican republic seems willing to settle
in that way. 1t will be seen later
what steps the administration will take
in reaffirmation of the Monroe doc
trine, which stands against the ac-
QUESTION of American territory by
any foreign power.
