DAVIS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Along With Missouri, Democratic
County Swings Into Line.

Bloomfield, Nov. 11-(Special.)-
For the first time since 1872 Davis
county has given a republican presi-
dental candidate a plurality. The
complete count shows that Roosevelt
has received ISL votes in the county in
excess of those given Parker. This is
a republican increase of exactly $50
since 1900, when Bryan carried the
county by 49, Major Lacey's vote is
much larger than ever before and he
was beaten by only thirty-four votes in
the, country. The democrats elected
their county ticket entire but with
greatly decreased pluralities. The vote
is as follows:

NOT oUIrn SO ATTRACTIVE.

This is still good country to live in, but some are leaving it. During the four months from the 1st of April to the 1st of August. 17S,674 persons have left the ports of this country for differ ent parts of the old world. This is a larger volume of emigration from the United States in the fourmonths' record than has taken place during the mostof the entire years of the recent past. For example, in 1899 the entire emigra- tion from the Atlantic ports of the Uni- ted States was only 114,0OO, and, al- though the largest years record was in 1903, the year 1904 bids fair to exceed it. if the rates of fare for steerage pas sage are maintained in the future. at anything approximating the rate that they hold at the present time. On the other hand, while there has been this year this enormous increase in thenun- ber of people leaving our shores as steerage passengers, the number that has come here as immigrants has un- dergone a great diminution. From January to July 29, in the year 1903, the number of immigrants who arrived at the Atlantic ports was 5ss,166, but this year, during the same time, the number of immigrants who arrived was 427,s87, a decrease of over 14o,ooo.
 Many think that there are enough people in this country for awhile, and a decrease in the number of new ones won't alarm anybody And some re- cent events indicate that it will be a very good thing if there could be still greater decrease.

THAT BErssED rATERN AGAIN.

The Blessed Subway Tavern in New York continues to get some good free advertising. by which it doubtless prof its. The latest is that so much crit icism has been aroused by the serv- ing of beer to women at the soda foun- tain in the Tavern that the packers of the institution have decided to stop that feature, 4 sort of rathskeller is being fitted up in the basement, and when that Is opened no more beer will be served at the fountain. The base ment is to resemble as nearly as pos sible an old English inn. It will have dark furnishings and sanded floor. Food will be served there as well as drinks, Women with escorts will be admitted and any kind of drink or food they may wish will be served.
 We don't know why there should be such criticism, or why this concession to the critics should have been made. Of course women have as much righ to drink in a Blessed Tavern as men have, and there is no particular sense in making any discrimination against them there. None was made at the start. Perhaps they can drink as much and as comfortably down cellar as upstairs, but there Is no good req son why they should be obliged to.

When the Czar's new boy arrived it was said that there was much rejoicing over him throughout the Czar's dornin- ions. This was followed by story that he was really a girl and not a boy, and this story was said to have been put forth by some frightened people whose noses and plans were put out of joint by his coming. But whether there was much joy over him at first or not, there is quite little now, since the Car has issued a manifesto in celebration of the christening of his son.. This manifesto is a remarkable document. It includes an all round reduction in sentences for common law offences. general amnes- ty for political offences, except in cases of murder, and the education of the children of officers and soldiers who have been victims of the war, as we'll as assistance for such families as need it whose breadwinners have fallen in the service of their country. It abolishes corporal punishment among the rural classes; remits arrears owing to the State for the purchases of pub lie lands; sets apart $1,500,000 for the purpose of forming an inalienable fund for the benefit of landless people of Fin land; grants amnesty to those Finland CTS who have emigrated without author. ization; remits the fines imposed upon communes of Finland which refused to submit to military conscription, and re- nlits the fines imposed upon the Jewish colnInunes in the cases of Jews avoid- ing military service.
 This indicates what can be done even in Russia. In his manifesto the Czar says: "We turn to our great family of the empire and, with the deepest and most heartfelt pleasure, even amidst these times of national struggle and difficulty, bestow upon them some gifts of our royal favor for their greater en. ioynent in their daily lives" It is to be hoped that by and by the Czar will have another boy and feel so good over it that he will grant some of the in- |portant reforms which his discontented subjects are demanding.

The Spanish people paid good prices for Porto Rican coffee. and the coffee growers in the island were prosperous. Annexation to the United States de- stroyed the Spanish market, to which it became asforeign product and was excluded by the tariff of Spain, and the island farmers were driven to the mar ket of the United States. To our mar ket it is admitted free of duty. But so is coffee from all other countries, and our people being unacquainted with the Porto Rican product, there has been but little demand for it. It is brought into direct competition with Brazilian coffee, which is commonly used in this country and which sells for one-fourth the price that the Porto Ricans former fly got for their coffee in Spain. It ap- pears to be especially exasperating to the coffee growers in the island to ob- serve the prosperity of the small sugar industry which has grown up under the stimulation of the tax imposed to create a sugar-beet industry and fatten the Sugar Trust. The area of land in Por- to Rico suitable for sugar-cane grow ing is small, and it is said that most of it has been seized by people from the United States. While the great ex- panse of the island which is planted in coffee is languishing, the small area in sugar is prospering.
 There is talk to the effect that it would be unjust to tax the whole popu- lation of the United States, numbering SO,OOO,OOO, in order that 100000 people in this subject island should prosper, but the Porto Ricans don't see any more in that talk than some of the pro- tected ones in this country see in the talk of free traders or tariff-revisers.

IHEY TART MORT,

We have been kind to the Porto Ri- cans and they know and admit it. But we haven't been kind enough to make them feel just right They want more of the protection which is so justly val ued and so benevolently and benefi-
 gently given in this country. The great industry of the island has al- ways been the production of coffee. Before the annexation to the United States the Porto Ricans found mar ket for their coffee crop in Spain, where it was well known and popular.

Edward Atkinson figures the cost of governing the United States economi- cally at s4.50 a year per capita. But he says that in excess of this sum each person has paid $2O. Tn other words, the head of a family of five persons, in receipt of an income of s1,OOO to $1,- 800. can feel sure that he has been pay ing more than s2OO for direct or indirect taxes, this largely as the result of the Philippines occupation.

There are still people who are inter- ested in real things. Mir, Frank Sewall of Washington, D. C., has been told that painting by Sargent at the head of staircase in the Boston Public Li. brary is intended to represent the Chris tan doctrine of the Trinity and he is shocked. He has written letter of pro- test to the Boston Citizen, in which he argues that the painting should have been excluded from the Library both as violating the great principle of the sep- aration of church and state and because the painters conception of the Trinity is baldly tritheistic. "Is it." asks MT Sewall, "a lapse into cold indifference as to what influence may be abroad to form the religious ideals of the growing generation, or a weak, dilettanteism which, for the sake of art, would pardon any amount of religious misconception which permits such representation of Christian doctrine as that placed at . the head of the staircase in the Public Library to be unveiled and to remain exposed to public view without a loud and determined protest on the part of the religious public? It is doubtful if so horrible a travesty of religious doctrine vas ever perpetrated in the midst of a professedly religious and cultured com. munity in any age, or among any peo. ple" a......5

Tn India letter sent to native prince is often a very elaborate affair. The paper is specially made for the pur- pose and is sprinkled with gold leaf, Only the last few lines of the somewhat lengthy document contain the purport of the letter, while the remainder is made up of the usual roundabout and complimentary phrases. It is folded in "a peculiar way, with the flaps outward and pliced in a muslin bag, and this lat ter into one of crimson and gold tint, with a slip knot of broad thread, at , tached to which is a ponderous seal. The address, written on a slip of parchment is attached to the outside bag. These details are very important for polite let ter writing in India, and if any one of them were omitted it would be an insult to the person addressed.

The rigor of Russian divorce laws, which formerly did not allow a hus- hand or wife guilty of misconduct to marry again except after seven years irreproachable conduct, has been modi- fled by the Holy Synod, making the period two years in case of offenders agreeing to do public penance accord ing to the direction of their bishops. The newspapers hail this modification as being a step in the right di- rection, and express the hope that the draconian laws governing divorce, which date back to the Byzantine epoch, will be further amended in con formity with the requirements of mod ern life.

Women who want to enter the medi' cal profession in Germany encounter a Giscouraging situation. An association of physicians has sent to the directors of SIS high schools circular for distri- button among the students, in which these are warned against entering the medical profession, which is described as being disastrously overcrowded, the number of physicians being nearly thir- ty thousand, or more than double what it was in 1876. The situation is aggra- yated by the abolition of the law against quacks, and by the insurance clubs
 which hire doctors at starvation wages.

form for the Tigers to win again
game yesterday at Frisco resulted
in a score of 10 to 6 in favor Of the
Angels.
The first basket ball team of the
s. U. P. c. A. was defeated last night
by the second team of the S. A. A. c..
the score being IT to IL.
Two good matches are talked for
the near future in Spokane providing
the 8. A. A. C. doesn't succeed in
taking steps" to corral the fighting
game. One match proposed is go
between Louie Long and Jack Cliff
ford and the other between Jack
Reilly and Burrows, or Reilly and
Mccarthy.
Either of these matches would be
a strong drawing card. Clifford and
Long would put up a whirlwind go
and it would be difficult to pick the
winner of that bout.
Reilly has recovered his health and
old time form and If matched with
Burrows will insist on going in at a
higher weight limit than he accepted
for the other go. There are many
fight followers who believe that at a
better weight and in good condition
Jack can do the trick with Burrows.
AS a matter Of fact 1t would be a
faster fight and of more interest than
a go between Burrows and Mccarthy
