WHY ALEXIEFF is RETAINED.
Acceptance Of Resignation Would
Create Unfavorable impression.

A cablegram from London says: The
Times military correspondent. discussing
the reported resignation of viceroy AIexieff,
says 1t is probable the viceroy offered to re-
sign. but failed to receive imperial permis-
sion The correspondent goes on to say:
"The viceroy, appointed with such flourish
of trumpets some nine months ago, has
been. recently shorn of the chief part of his
powers, and lost command both of the army
and Of the feet. The civil administration
Is still in his hands. but now that state
of war exists and the entire country is
practically foreign territory In Russian
military occupation, his sphere as civil ad-
n,inistrator hardly escapes actual elimina-
ton. II the viceroy is not on the best of
terms with the general commanding the
army in Manchuria. and ii he is altogether
hostile to Admiral Skrydloff, we can SYM
pathize with his desire to terminate an al
most intolerable situation.
'On the other hand, the czar probably
feels 1t would be a sign Of vacillation IL his
lieutenant were recalled in the hour of
stress, and that such an open acknowledge
ment Of the failure OF the whole policy un-
derlying the case last July would injuri-
ocsly AFFECT the prestige OF Russia. and
throw a stronger light upon the misfor-
tures of the first weeks OF the war. In
view of the predominance assumed by the
lanQ OD0FdIlOnS, q secondary role Is Q6VOlv-
ing upon the shattered squadron. and the
altogether subordinate functions to the civil
administrations.
"The alternative is the departure Of the
continually recurs. Russian czars have
generally accompanied their armies to the
field. and their presence has often proved
of great advantage. In the war with Tur-
key In 1928 the reigning czar crossed the
Danube with his army, and was accompa-
MED by the British ambassador to st. Pc
tersburg, who has left an interesting ac-
count OF events at that time.
''The mobilization Of the corps diploma
tique at st. Petersburg, in the event Of an
other imperial progress to the seat Of war,
Is not perhaps to be anticipated. and would
cause some CONSERVATION in that amiable
circle, but 1t is not altogether impossible
that the chiefs of the two states now at
war may encourage their armies in opera
ton by their presence at the post of dan
ger"

STREET EXTENSIONS.
Senate Adopts the Conference Re-
v>nrf

In the Senate yesterday the conference re-
port on the street extension bills was
adopted after a short debate.
Senator German stated that the placing
of the burden Of street extension entirely
on the District was a departure from the
organic act. He wished to let the con-
ference report go over until the next ses-
sion Of Congress, in order that It might
then be taken up and properly considered.
Senator Gallinger said that while he
agreed with the senator from Maryland on
the general proposition yet 1t was q fact
that all recent street opening bills had
put the entire cost on the District OF Co
lumbia- He said that the House had IN
sisted by apparently unanimous vote upon
Its proposition. He was opposed to the
plan of placing the entire cost on the Dis
trict.
Senator German replied that 1t was a
very unjust rule to place the entire cost
on the District. Under the organic act. he
said, the government is obligated to pay
half the cost involved in the District gov
ernment and in the development of the
District. In all fairness the matter should
be more thoroughly considered.
The whole country" he said, "fs in
terested In improving this city. We ought
to have some more equitable arrangement
than Is here proposed for paying the ex-
pense of street extension"
Senator Dubois commented on the state
rnent that had been made that the House
insisted upon the adoption of its view. II
the Senate Is willing to yield just because
the House insists he said, well and good.
but IL not, then the Senate ought to thresh
the matter out with the House.
The Senate ought to be more careful In
saddling such a burden on the District OF
Columbia Senators should, in fact, be an
careful as they would be In saddline such
a burden on their own states. I'VE tax the
District" said Senator Dubois, land the
people here have no say about It. The
Senate is sacrificing principle in this casa
for a temporary or local end"

healthful lessons, sincere in motive and
clean in language, will come to the
opera house on Thursday, Dec. 1. The
annual tours of Frank G. King and
"Chic" Perkins give to an area bounded
by the number of nights there are in
theatrical season, the most pleasant
and reliable entertainments that amuse-
ment seekers find. Their dramas are
carefully selected and always clean;
their players present that artistic poise
which inspires confidence in the excel

sories show a happy blending of keen
judgment with generous expenditure.
On this the fifth annual tour but few
places will be visited that are not al

not enlarge his territory, leaving out
some Of the smaller places and seeking
larger ones, the answer was, Ny old

The standing of the candidates in the
contest will be published but in two
more issues of THE REPORTER on De-
cember and s, and then all of the
votes will be placed in a big ballot box
which will be sealed up by the judges
who will make the final count, and from
that time until the contest closes on
Saturday evening, Dec. oath, at clock,
no one can tell how many votes any of
the candidates have, as the coupons
will be issued with the name Of the
candidate blank, and the person secur-
ing them can write in the name of their
favorite and deposit the votes in the
ballot box without anyone knowing who
gets the votes. This is done so as to
insure absolute fairness to all the can
didates during the closing days OF, the
contest, as it will be impossible for any
one to secure any knowledge Of how
many votes are necessary to win the
handsome diamond ring.
The rules of the contest are simple
and well known and under no circum-
stances will there be any deviation
from the rules. One free coupon is
printed in each issue Of THE REPORTER

present subscriber, two votes are given

constitution Of Iowa would be sufficient

constitution Of Iowa would be sufficient
to defeat 1T.
For all that the ballot directly said to
the voters, the amendment might have
been to the constitution of a rural 5tele=
phone company, argued some of those
who favored taking the matter into the
courts. 1t is claimed that such an
omission certainly is more unfair to the
people than the omission Of the printing
of roll call, admitted by all to have
been called, though unrecorded. On
the other hand it is urged that the in
tent of the amendment is absolutely
clear.
The amendment as submitted to the
people was in the language used by the
legislature. If the omission is fatal it
is the fault of the legislature. The
amendment was transmitted to the
auditors by the secretary Of state ex-
actly as it was embodied in the resolu-
tion Of the legislature and printed by
the county auditors in that identical
language. The words necessary to con-
meet the amendment with the constitu-
tion Of Iowa, specially and directly, do
not appear anywhere in the amendment
1t is up to the lawyers.

A Communication.

EDITOR REPORTER We see in our
paper ever once in while something
about the farmer buying his goods at a
mail order house, we suppose it is writ
ten by some merchant. We wonld like
to ask them if it is not reasonably COM
pared with the way they treat us farm
ers. If we have anything to sell we
have to haul it to some other place to
some brother farmer or ship it some
place where there is market for it..
Five bushels of corn, three pecks of po-
tatoes and bushel of apples will sup
ply the market for one week in Leon,
and next spring they will goaway some
where and buy a car load. Then they
will Try, and generally do sell to the
people for about four times as much as
they give. A FARMER Boy.

Missouri Building at Worlds Fair
Burned.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 19.-The Missouri
state building burned tonight the fire
resulting from the explosion of the hot
water heater in the basement. Instant
ly the flames shot up through the ro-.
tunda and the north wing and cupola
were mass of flames within ten min
utes after the explosion.
The loss has not yet been estimated,
the principal loss being in the contents
Of the building. The building cost
$145,O0O and in the building were $4,000
worth of furnishings, the most valuable
of which were portraits of all former
Missouri governors and supreme judges.
These cannot be replaced.
ONE KILLED; -FOUR INJURED.
The confiagration was responsible for
the serious injury Of two city fremen,
who were buried beneath one of the
walls and was the cause of the death Of
the driver of a hook and ladder wagon,
and serious injury of two members Of
the same company who were thrown
from the truck in a collision with tree
while responding to the alarm.

DETECT IN AMENDMENT.
Legislation Fathered by Senator
Titus May Receive Second Death
Blow from Slight Defect.

: A defect has been discovered in the
biennial elections amendment which
attorneys in Council Bluffs, who made
the discovery, fear may knock out the
Legislation, although it carried at the
present election. The amendment of
Senator Titus which was once knocked
out by a slight defect, may receive a
second death blow from the same cause.
The discovery is that the ballot which
the people. of Iowa voted November s,
submitted a question as follows: "Shall
the following amendment to the consti-
tuition be adopted? Add as section 16 to
article II of the constitution the follow
ing:" And then the biennial election
amendment appeared in full, as it will
appear in the constitution if decided to
have been adopted.
The question which has been raised
related to the omission from this sub
mitted inquiry of the statement that it
is the constitution Of Iowa which it is
proposed to amend. The criticism is
| that the question should have been SUBJ
mitted in this form: "Shall the follow
ing amendment to the constitution of
Iowa be adoptod?" Add as section 16 to
article 12 of the constitution of Iowa
the following, ETC." The words "of
Iowa" do not appear on the ballot
which the voters voted November s.
Recalling the technical attitude Of
the supreme court in the former amend
ment cases when the prohibitory amend
ment and the first biennial elections
amendment were declared not part of
the constitution for technical reasons, it
4 is feared that the supreme court will
decide that the omission of the words
"of Iowa" will be sufficient to defeat
the amendment.
Lawyers here yesterday declined to
advance opinions on constitutional law,
off-hand, but said that there was no
precedent by which this case could be
decided. 1t was said by them, however,
that the people Of Iowa have power to
tuition, and the question was submitted
for the amendment Of "the' constitu-
tion. The article used is tho definite
and not the indefinite article. 1t was
"the" constitution which the voters
were asked to vote to amend or not to
f amend being the only constitution on
the amendment of which they were en-
! titled to vote. This, some lawyers
!. thought, would be sufficient to save the
!. amendment.
TEMPLE AMENDMENT SAFE.
, In the case of the Temple amendment
, also submitted at the recent election, it
