alleged in the complaint and answer
the decision continues:
First-Controversy shown to exist
by foregoing sufficiently concerns pre-
negatives of state and affects liberties
of people to be within original juris
diction OF this court.
SecOnd-Such controversy is of Sc
grave. a character and of such public
Importance as to warrant this court in
exercising it's original jurisdiction to
determine right of matter SO far as the
door is open for it to do so.
Third-Since the question presented
merely involves the duty of the secre

expressly enjoined by law it is judi.

t'ourth-F'Or the present case, the
time not having arrived when the sec
retary OF state is required to make
certifcatiOn of nominations, by gen.
eral rule there is no remedy at law
by mandamus; hence action, if main
tainable at all, is properly brought in
equity, if the legislature has not fur.

Fifth-The legislature intended to
provide for settlement out Of court OF
all questions between factions of a
party concerning the right to the party

WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

The expected battle between the
Russian Manchurian army and Marshal
Oyama's forces has not yet occurred
and the days advces do not indicate
any developments Of an important
character on the part of either army.
st. Petersburg dispatches say that
Kuropatllin is constantly receiving re-
Inducements, especially artillery, but
the military critics express doubt
whether he contemplates more than a
passive resistance at Mukden. The
opinioH, seems general that the next
battle of a decisive nature will occur
at Tie pass. .@
Lieutenant General Stoessel reports
that the Japanese losses in the at
tacks on Port Arthur from Sept 19 to

Japanese are now working actively
and approaching by entertainments

the Jneater OF extended and extensive
military operations.
The Russians apparently are using
Tie pass as their main base and are
constructing a series Of defenses to
shield it from the south and the east.
Two rOadWayS approach Tie pass from
the south. One of these rOadWays is
the main highway from Mukden and
the other, which is smaller, starts at
F'ushun and winds through hilly
country. Nineteen miles north of
Mukden is the town of Yilu, the south
ern and eastern approaches to which
are sheltered by sharp ridges, Offering
a natural protection. 1t is reported
here that the Russians are strongly in
trenching in these ridges and are
erecting semi-permanent fortitications
The Yalu river, which is shallow and
fordable, runs through the town.
The Russians are reported to be for
tifying the right bank of this river be-
tween Yilu and Tahaitun, fifteen miles
to the northward. Several lines of
ridges cross the road and it is said that
the Russians are erecting works on
many OF these eminences between Ia
haltun and Tie pass. For, some seven
miles the country, generally speaking,
is fiat, although commanding the road
way from the eastward is a hill 1000
metres in height, which the Russians
are fortifying. A range of hills flanks
Tie pass On the eastward
The Russians are holding Fushun
with heavy force and it is believed
they are erecting works along the road
from that place to Tie pass

Certain Lands Which Were Placed in
Duluth District.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Upon the rec
ommendation Of Secretary of the In
terror Hitchcock the president has
signed an order restoring to the Cass
Lake (Minn.) land district certain
lands which were transferred to the
Duluth district by executive order of
May 20, 1908. This action OF the pres
ldent disposes Of question which has
been under consideration in the inte-
rlor department for some time. When
the transfer was made under the for
mer order it was thought that it would
be to the advantage of the public at
large, but since then it has been dem
Onstrated that because OF the accessi-
bility OF Cass Lake the public inter-
ests would be best subseryed by re-
voking the order of 1903 and again
placing the lands referred to under the
Jurisdiction of that district.

JAP VERSION DIFFERS,
Russians Failed to Burn Junks on the
Hun River.

Toxic, Oct. 6.-The Japanese report
on the Changtan junk incident is in
direct contradiction to the Russian YER
sion. The Japanese report says that
on Sept 80 forty or fifty Of the enemy's
cavalry attempted to burn number
OF the junks north of Changtan. Our
patrol on both sides of the Hun river
fired on and dispersed the Russians.
1t is further stated that no Japanese
ammunition is being transported on
the Hun river above Changtan. 1t is
said that the attempted burning Of the
junks was to prevent the Japanese
from utilizing them.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg Oct
/ said that on Sept. 80 a detachment
of Russian cavalry drove the Japanese
from the village of Changtan and

Seyenteenth-The tribunal created
by law to determine the factional dis
pute in question for the guidance of

fore stated What the real right of the
matter in dispute might be found to
be were this court permitted to disre-

GOOD ROADS.
GOvernoP BRcheIdcr of New Hamp-
shire on Highway Improvement.

Governor BacheIdcr of New Hamp-
shire on Highway Improvement.
New Hampshire Is one of the states
which a-c making rapid strides In the
improvement Of her roads. Governor
Bachcllcr of that state-and he is also
an officer of the national grange-is Il
very enthusiastic advocate Of road
improvement. In a recent address he
sad:
"Thc development and prosperity Of
any state or nation depend In some
degree upon the transportation facili-
ties provided, and such facilities In
cludc not only our rivers and hnrbors
and our great railway and steamboat
companies. but also the highways over
which all our products and all our peo-
pie are transported.
'Tln important matter now before
the friends Of good roads Is to arouse
the people to realization Of their re-
sponsiblity In securing favorable state
and national legislation on the subject.
Another important matter Is the con-
struction Of roads adapted to the needs
Of travel over them. Much harm has
come to the good roads movement in
some sections Of the country through
the advocacy OF more expensive roads
than the resources Of the people would
warrant and demand Costly stone
roads nrc economical upon portions Of
our highways, but we must not over
look the fact that there Is a vast mile
age Of roads that could be permanently
improved by the judicious expendi-
ture Of comparatively small sum Of
money per mile. We should give due
prominence to this fact in considering
the matter from n state or national
standpoint.
"As an official Of the national grange
l desire to say a word for the farmers
Of the country in regard to national
aid for road building. The farmers
have been loyal to the interests of the
nation in every emergency in the past.
They have contributed their full share
in proportion to their wealth to the
revenues for the support Of the gov
ernment. The ablest statesmen and
most successful business men contrib
uting to the development and prosper
ity Of the country point to the farms
as their birthplace. When our coun-
try has been In danger the farmer boys
have responded nobly to her defense.
We have uncomplainingly contributed
our share to the enormous expendi-
lures Of the national government for
river and harbor improvements, the
construction Of canals and the erection
Of costly buildings in our great cities.
and we do not regret 1t.
I'VE now ask in the name OF Justice
that national aid be granted for the
Improvement Of highways. This in
wolves the establishment Of no new
policy. but the extension Of the former
one. We ask the loyal support OF
those who have been benefited by our
contribution to other public matters to
which l have referred. l believe the
farmers OF the nation. representing
more than third Of our population,
nre practically unanimous in favor Of
such a movement and will give 1t their
unqualified support"

The removal of the raw material

1t has been stated that the building
Of steam and electric railroads has rem

true They have superseded for time
the improvement of our roads, but they
can never supply the necessity for

The question Of building permanent
