The sugar beet men are still howl

Foreign wage-workers are fleeing
from this country by the thousands
back to the old countries. A writer
describing the exodus as seen N New
York city says: Thousands of for
eign born persons are for various rea-
sons returning to their native land
just now. Football rushes and old
time cavalry charges could not be

afternoon when the Italian legions
swarmed around the Tier at the foot

Our commerce with the city OF
Nome, Alaska, is greater than 1t is
with the whole of the Philippine ISL
ands and does not consist of cargoes
of beer and supplies for an army and
a host of carpet baggers either. Dur
ing the year the business between the
one city of Seattle ! and Nome has
amounted to $19,000,000. American
manufacturers have found a market
for over $1l 100000 of goods in Nome
this year. But then there was free
trade, that terrible thing which makes
a republican turn pale every time it is
mentioned, between Nome and Seat
tie. If the same condition had ex-
listed in regard to the Philippines, per-
haps the story would be different.
The embryo republic at the isthmus

Monte Carlo" Then she adds: "All
men are not models of honor, and
woman, be she of the type yclept
has generally a string OF adj
mirers following her comet-like
fights. From one or the other of these
followers she has to borrow. She dare
not confess to her husband, so she

Debts of honor between man of the |

One of the dallies remarks that the
OF Joseph w. Folk OF 81. |
louis rests wholly upon h j success In
sending uoodlcrs To the penitentiary. |
That paper Is sadly mistaken. MIR. |
Folk has been successful In getting
loodlers convicted In the district
