IT'S A sUBTERFUGE.

An endesvor has been made
since the Indian Territory scandals
have come into conspicuous notice
to work up sentiment ON the broad
proposition that q government EN-
ploye should not be debarred
from making investments in land,
banking or other com panies. This
is certainly true, provided the
company is engaged 10 legin.
mate enterprise. If, however, its
success depends TO degree on a
"pulln then II is not proper. The
government assumes to treat all
its citizens the same-to give all
the same advantage. When this
practice is departed from aud iav.
oritism oreeps in, the masses have
good reason to complain.
To illustrate; The secretary Of
agriculture, by reason Of his
knowledge every month during
summer as to what the cotton crop
bulletin is to state, could make a
fortune 10 Wall street, in case OF
marked advance or decline Of
condition. Should he or bis sub.
ordinates take advantage Of the
information their position brings
to them, the public would prompt.

president could not fail to heed.

With the loan, many specific public
works may be undertaken and pushed

throughout the ensuing year to a small
army of mechanics and laborers. If
work under current account should
cease the work under the loan act will
take it's place, and the WOrkingmen of
the Territory will be no losers. This
is the brightest feature just now. The
Legislature may have run riot in APP

MANCHURIA.

Russia has declared the Manchurian
incident" closed. Manchuria, accord
ing to the Russian diplomats, is no
longer a subject for discussion. Rus
STA has grabbed it and there is no more
to say about it. This is the outcome of
the attack upon PeXrng by the western
nations. 1t was a costly expedition to
the United States, Germany, France,
England and Japan. Russia found diff
ficulties in Manchuria and occupied it..
Now Russia has definitely taken pos
session of Manchuria and amply in
IDENTIFIED herself for the expense of
the Picking expedition. When one comes
to thing of it, how laughable it all is.
Since September of 1902 Russia has
been going to evacuate Manchuria. On
every date fixed for the evacuation,
there was always some excuse for not
Withdrawing the troops. 1t was too
cold, it was too hot, the attitude of the
Chinese was threatening, anything
was good enough to cause a delay.
The only bluff made at evacuation was
one like the celebrated King of France
who with
Ten thousand men,
Marched them up to yonder hill,
And marched them down again.
And when they We're up they We're up,
And when they were down they were
down,
And when they We're in the middle,
They were neither down nor up"
The Russian soldiers took an eight
miles march from their permanent
camp, and then We're back again.
Meanwhile as far as the outside world
is concerned, it was impossible, among
all the tissue of lies set afoat by Rus
sian agents and diplomats, TO find out
whether Russia was up or down. Dur
ing the period of VacillatiCn she has
poured troops into Port Arthur, and to
the frontiers of Korea, and now she
says "Manchuria Is no longer in dis
cussion, let us talk about Korea. 1t
begins to look as If Japan would be
forced to fight. If she does not she will
