Judge Cant in District Court in
Duluth Monday granted an injunct-

Swan Pearson from acting as trustees
of the Swedish church. Arguments
for the plaintiff, the Swedish Luth-
eran church of Ely were handled by
A. j. Thomas while s. S. Eckman

case was tried In the December term
of court and Monday was the date
set by Judge Cant for hearing the
arguments.

trustees of the church. which distinc-
tion was claimed by two factions of
the congregation, namely Swedish
Free Lutherans and Evangelical
Lutherans, in whose interest it is said
that the defendants of the present
action instituted suit against the
first named congregation in Decem.
Der, 1903, in an attempt to quiet the
title to the property. That action
was lost.

Prescott has the reputation of being the most hospitable city in the terri tory, and her charming women are noted for the elegance and correct ap- pointments of their social functions. In giving prominence to the social life of the city, the Journal-Miner is prompted by the conviction that the chrOnicling of such events, as a reflex of the social side of the community, will serve to produce the impression abroad that Prescott is as well advanc- ed in the amenities of civilization, and in those arts and graces which em- brace the refnements and beneficial pleasures of life, as any city of its size in the United States.
 For these reasons we cordially invite the assistance of the good ladies of this city in making this department as complete as may be possible.

WHO WILL FILL HIS PLACE.

The recent death of Senator Orville H. Platt is almost universally regard ed by the Eastern press as a national calamity. There is a need in the coun- cils of the nation at this time for the sturdy integrity and courage of Or vile H. Platt. Within the past year he had given evidence of his devotion to right principles in government and economies, and he had taken a stand against the palterings of some of his colleagues who would trifle with the great interests of industry in the United States under the plea of expe- dieney.
 It is to be hoped that New Eng land, or the States of the East, at all events, will be able to supply his place with another of the same heroic mold and frmness in right doing-one who is not ready to bend before every idle breeze which blows over the field of national politics.
 The death of Senator Platt leaves vacancy in the Republican membership of the Senate Committee on Finance which should be filled by the selection of a sound and uncompromising pro- tectionist. The protective policy is the declared faith of the American peo- pie; it has been vindicated by mnay years of unexampled prosperity-pros- perity wrung from industry that was set on foot by the re-establishment of protection after a season of tariff tink ering and revision of the customs schedules downward. There are evi- dences of a disposition among some senators and representatives to try the experiment again, under the plaus- ible pretext that the party of protec-

make the most of their endowment and justify Carnegie by refraining, from going to the demnition bow-wows.
 For the gift of s4,OOO,OOOO to the employees pension fund and s1,5OO.OO0 to the allied engineers societies there can be only praise. It was prompted by wise philanthropy and a commend able affection for the men who helped the donor make his fortune. The build ing by Carnegie of the Peace Temple at The Hague, for which he devoted $1 800, O,OOO, was worthy of great man. The temple is monument to a noble aspiration.
 American humorists made some mild sport of the establishment of the fund of S5.OO0,O00 for the relief of the ia miles of heroes, but whether the dona- tion was wise or foolish is a matter vet to be determined. Andrew Car negie is surely not without common sense. and he gave probably more study to the matter of the heroes relief fund than most of his critics have done.
 By skipping various miscellaneous benefactions in America and Europe, which amount in the aggregate to $21. 100000, the record is brought down to the latest donation-that of $10,000.- 900 for annuities for superannuated college professors. Criticism of this donation must fall rather on its practical aspect than on its essential merit. The colleges do not pay en- ough to members of their faculties. Most college professors live up to the limit of their pay, for the demands up- on them are numerous and their in comes are not equal to those of most successful business men in their own social station. Care must be taken. however, in the administration of the fund to guard against the natural ten dency to cOnfne its benefits to few large universities. Doubtless Carnegie intended that the annuities should be given only to real scholars, who in their old age find themselves without money and their usefulness gone. The trustees will have. some hard cases to decide. but they are men of large minds. and will enjoy full discretion. After all, the success of all donations for public uses depends on the eharae- ter of the men who administer the fund.

tion should be able to modify the customs schedules without harm to the industries and labor of the coun- try.
 There are a number of things to be thought of in connection with such program; but, in the meanwhile, it is best to consider by whom the subject shall be worked out. That calls first for the filling of the place on the Fin ance Committee made. vacant by the death of Senator Platt. The fact that a number of members of the commit tee from the Western Svates have given evidence of their willingness to trife with great issues makes it all the more incumbent upon the Republican organ ization of the Senate to see that the place is filled by loyal supporter of the cause of protection-One who shall stand by that principle at all times, un- moved by popular clamor about party expediency.

WOULD RUIN ARIZONA.

Concerning the proposed jointure of Arizona with New Mexico, the Tue son Citizen says:
 "The interview with Hon. Marcus A. Smith, published in the Citizen last ev- ening, deserves the careful considera- tion of every man who expects to live and do and have his being in Arizona. Mir. Smith is not a pessimist, nor an alarmist When he states that it is the positively set and settled policy of the party in control of the national government to annex Arizona to New Mexico in statehood, he speaks by authority and with a full understand ing of the import of his words.
 FThe merging of Arizona with New Mexico in statehood would be more disastrous to Arizona than war. fam inc and pestilenee. The people of Arizona could in due time recover from the effects of war or famine or pestil- enee. but once subordinated to the ov- erwhelming majority of New Mexico in political union, their future would he without hope.
 'Mr. Smith calls upon the people of Arizona to organize and resist as far as possible the scheme that would destroy their civilization. annihilate their industries and rob them of lib erty. He suggests that Governor Kib- bev convene a convention at Phoenix to take into consideration the public welfare. The suggestion is wise and proper and we hope Governor Kibbey will devise some means of converting a deliberative body that will be repre- sentative of the intellect and patriot ism of Arizona.
 "There is no time to be lost The people of Arizona should not surren- CT their rights and liberties without an effort. Arizona is worth fighting for. There should be convention. delibera- tion and a plan of campaign"

For many of us the term ''Russian revolutionist connotes fierce. bomb throwing, long-haired dreamer whose
 doctrines include free love. anarchism, and other things equally abhorrent to our sense of order and propriety. Un- fortunately for the reputation of the Russian revolutionists among cOnven- tional people in the Occident, the only ones that the rest of the world hears about are those who attempt to kill the Czar or some high officer of state. Naturally, the popular sympathies go, on such occasions, with the man who has been blown to pieces, and we set down the bomb-thrower as a desperate, ferocious fellow, who ought to be first bothed and barbered and then hanged

When the present management of the Journal Miner assumed charge of affairs, the promise was made that a number of improvements would be made. The first of these changes came last Tuesday morning, when the paper appeared in an enlarged form, and geographically improved in sev- eral respects.

 This department we wish to make even more comprehensive and cover all the happenings in the gay whirl of society. To accomplish this ob- iect. we ask our readers to send us news coming under the scope of this department. In doing so it is essen tial that names he spelled correctly, and the initials in each instance given.
