resolutions demanding the repeal of the desert land law

There is question whatever about the necessity of

He still denied the remark attributed
to him by the letter carrier, and the
defense was inclined to keep him on

It'll tell you about the longest fifteen
minutes that Richard Mansfield ever
experienced" said that gentlemans adj
vance agent, Paul Wilstach, who is at
the Ryan. Il just got a letter from
the company tonight, and it seems that
when they left st. Louis the other day
Mansfield's private car was hooked on
to the end of the train. When crossing
the bridge over the Mississippi, Mans
field noticed that the car had a very
peculiar motion. It was jerking back
and forth like boat in a storm Ring
ing for his porter, he said Jefferson,
see what's the matter with the car
In about one minute Jefferson came
back and said, while he shook like a
leaf: Mr.. Mansfield, de coupling am
done come apat, en- all dat am holdin'
de cab to de train. am de chain on de
S1de-datS what am erjerkin her So
Together they rushed to the front
and looked at that chain. And you can
imagine their feelings. Upon that
bridge, in the dead of night, with only
chain, and that at the side Of the
car, holding on and threatening to jerk
them into the river. The bell cord
was broken with the jerking, and they
couldn't let those in front know of their
predicament. And it wasn't till they
got over to East st. Louis that they
were able to attract anyone's atten-
ton. Mansfield said it was the long

MONROE DOCTRINE IN ASIA.

Great Britain, France, Germany Belgium and Por-
tugal have completely conquered and divided Africa
among themselves, except alone Abysinnia and Morocco
Germany Italy and Great Britain stand ready part
ton South America if the United States gives the slight
est pretext.
The vital question which presents itself in
necton with the present Asatic situation is this: If the
United States attempts go outside of its American
sphere of influence and shouts Hands off, European
powers around China, it does the powers which
menace South America will it give the armed powers
the pretex that they seeking interfere in South
and Central American affairs?
Russia is nation which proceeds in its colonization
and territorial policy with foot always the soil
Russia for territory 1t believes in the
policy of acquiring contiguous territory only That
plains why Russia gave up Alaska for song and
cenraed its energies in the development of Siberia and
thence Manchuria Has Russia by this policy of CONT
mental expansion Northern Asia acquired the
right of influence Northern ASIA that the United
States has assumed under the Monroe doctrine all
America? Has Russia good claims to protectorate
over Manchuria, the United States the other
Americas? Has Russia earned Monroe doctrine rights
of its own?
Suppose Russia UP a claim of that character and
Germany and France support Russia in the claim? What
will the United States do about it? If protests against
the legality and policy of the claim in what position will
be in when it to setting forth the Monroe doc
trne against European aggression in South and Central
America?
There is question that if Russia France and Ger
many united in their territorial plans in Asia, the
United States will be poweress stop them. 1t is also
true that if the European powers unite in exploiting
South America the United States will be powerless

dcted the result of interference in foreign embrol
ments? Have not troubles enough at home without

Orient, we will ever defend. But afford to mix in

THE LAKES OPEN THE MILLS.

When the Eastern trunk lines joined IN -four and
grain which closed the Minneapolis mills, they pos
sbly injured themselves much they did the miers
and farmers of Minnesota.
The a-rail tonnage of -four and grain during the
past four weeks has fallen off per cent, result
largely of the action of the Eastern roads and the
quent closing of the big mills
But the great lakes and the lake, nd-rai business
have to the of the mllers and farmers and
radical reduction of the Atlantic seaboard is
hand The result will be- that the Eastern roads will
be minus the arising from the per cent of
traffic that has been lost to them by their action during
the past month, and top of that will the business
of the ensuing six months pass from their hands the
lake routes entirely
Already sixteen Minneapolis mills representing two
thirds of the Minneapolis milling capacity have resumed
operations anticipation of the lake rates. and in
few days the mills will be in operation the full of
pacity and be making up lost time If Minnesota can
not control the traffic situation by rail of Chicago
it least controls it from all Northwestern points to the
head of Lake Superior and hence by lake Buffalo, and
that during the lake is the salvation of Min
nesota and Dakota farming mercantile and manufactur-
ing industries.
