II. a. Reed has been reelected president
of the Duluth, st. Cloud, Glencoe 4

the real executive head will be another

that little work will be done until
spring. Then, if the Milwaukee has not
gobbled up the work already done, it
will be pushed on toward Mankato.

The Russian Braggart.

Now that NJ Witte has sailed for home
and is no longer in a sense the guest of
the nation there must come little sober
reflection upon him and his words and
acts while here, and it will be in no wise
inhospitable or churlish II there should
be feeling that perhaps after all we
have thrown too many bouquets at this
large amiable, easy-going Russian. who
has been joy to the correspondents. The
truth is NJ. Witte has done a little bluff
fng while here. and we are just realizing
the fact. He has bid for popularity and
has gained it, for the time being. He has
managed to create an impression In the
minds OF some Americans that he Is an
awfully good sort. as the English say. and
that Russia is an abused, misunderstood
nation. He has, above all. sought to leave
the notion In the minds of our people that
he and his comparatively silent colleague
outwitted, tricked and otherwise diplo-
matically defeated the Japanese at Ports
mouth.
Now, as n matter of fact, the Japanese
were not outwitted or tricked at Ports
mouth They came out of that conference
winners by a large margin. They won
in the first place. all that could have
been gained from their antagonist They
won, besides the instantaneous. sincere
applause of all the world by their execu-
ton of their masters command to relin-
Quish the impossible demand for indem-
nifty in the face of the certainty that
resumption of the war would result from
further pressure. The treaty they wrote
gives Japan great advantages in the far
east, practical. sentimental and political
1t solves all the problems that Japan
fought to solve and 1t places the island
empire on the high road to a great pros
perity.
Russian diplomacy has always been best
known throughout the world for It's de-
ception. it's undetermined methods. It's
craft and crookedness. NJ. White perhaps
thought when he boosted that he had
outwitted Baron Komura that he was up
holding the traditions of his race In this
respect. If 1t were true. If he did indeed
manage to trick the Japanese envoy and
foist of an inferior treaty upon him, he
was merely proving the truth of the an
Client charge that 1t is always necessary
to suspect everything a Russian says or
does and to set down every Russian as a
possible cheat in any and every transact
ton. The barbaric Tartar showed be-
meath the Russian veneer.
Baron Komura bore himself throughout
the negotiations with admirable poise
and diplomatic skill. He made no attempt
to play to the galleries. He executed no
spectacular automobile dashes between
hotel and council chamber. He clothed
his Office with all the dignity that the oc-
casion demanded. and when the hurrah
spirit has passed It will be he. and not

An Honorable Peace.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The public opinion of all countries is very
clearly coming to the view that the peace
of Portsmouth was. on the whole, the best
that could have been made for both parties
and for the peace of the world. If it turn
out so to be it will be to the extreme honor
of all who took part in its conclusion. We
have ourselves maintained that in the treaty
Japan gained all that even her marvellous
successes on land and justified her in
expecting and that the terrible risks and
sacrifices involved in continuing the war
would not adequately be repaid by any
thing that 1t was remotely probable she
could secure. On the other hand. II was
our view that Russia could accept the stu
alton created by the Japanese victories
without injury to her lasting interests, with.
indeed. great advantage to those interests,
while she was still amply strong to resist
further concessions. The two powers had,
in fact, reached what may be called state
of dynamic equilibrium. the aggressive force
of either practically equaled by the
defensive force of the other; no decisive
movement was practicable for either. and
the continuance of the struggle would In
every sense be sheer waste of life and
treasure.

An Effective Pistol Law Needed.

Discussing that always pertinent topic.
the carrying of deadly weapons. the Phila-
delphia Ledger says:
Police authorities and magistrates attrib-
ute the falling off in robberies and crimes
of violence in New York city to the opera
ton of the new ordinance making the car
rying OF a concealed weapon a misdemean-
or, and imposing a fine of $3.50 or six
months Imprisonment upon those convicted
of the offense. Under the old law the car
rying OF a concealed weapon was called dis
orderly conduct. and the maximum penalty
was a fine of SO. The old ordinance was
much less drastic than the legislation in
most of the states on the subject Profess
sional criminals caught with deadly weap-
ons on their persons paid the small fine of
SO and. If they We're not convicted of
some other offense. were released to resume
their depredations The police commissioners
would go a step further by requiring deal
ers In firearms to be licensed, and to make
daily reports to the commissioners of all
weapons sold, with the names and ad
dresses of the purchasers. Such regula-
ton, in operation in Washington, recently
led to the arrest of a murderer.
1t is a frequent subject of local complaint
that the District laws and regulations in
| relation to the pistol-permit business are
far from perfect. The existing rules re-
| quiring the dealers in deadly weapons to
make reports do serve on rare occasions to
enable the authorities to arrest criminals.
| But of far greater Importance Is the devils
| ing of a law or rule which will prevent
| crime. The Star has frequently suggested
| such law, based upon the theory that it
| is only in extremely rare cases that a per-
| son has need of pistol in such a COM
| munity as Washington.
The law should so read that 1t becomes
| an offense punishable by Imprisonment and
loss OF license for any person to sell, give
or loan to another any gun pistol-per-
| haps only the smaller and more easily con-
| cealed weapon-unless the purchaser, re-
| ceiver borrower has secured a permit
| from the court. That permit should be is
| sued after careful inquiry into the circum-
| stances of the case. with reference to the
| supposed actual need to carry a pistol
| 1t should be in the form of a doubIe-eoupon
| slip the dealer retaining portion and
| Immediately forwarding the other portion
| to police headquarters a record of the
transaction.
1t Is only by such means that the police
can be kept aware of the number OF
| licensed pistol carriers. At present the re-
ports furnished to them are virtually
worthless, for there Is no guarantee that
the names and addresses given to the
dealers and by them to the police are gen.

The Loss of the Mikasa.

n suggestion that cannot be entertained
Is made in some OF the dispatches in con-
nectIon with the destruction OF the Japa-
nese battleship Mikasa. 1t is to the effect
that a belief prevails In some quarters in
Japan that the disaster Is attributable to
the dissatisfaction felt by the people over
the peace terms negotiated at Portsmouth
TO accredlt this In the least degree is to
accuse the Japanese people OF fanaticism
which Is no less than suicidal. They have
their sacrificing devotion to country. in the
field and on the sea. They have demon
strated their sagacity In craftsmanship and
their leaders have proved their broad wis
dom in the hour of making peace They
have acquired great honor before the world
and their record Is rather accentuated than
married by the recent demonstrations In
Toxic expressive of disapproval of the
peace terms.
1t is impossible to see by what line of
reasoning even furious Japanese fanatic
could think to further the cause OF the So
called war party by destroying one OF the
most valuable of Japan's war engines
Such an act could not possibly embroil the
empire In a further conflict with Russia 1t
would be preposterous 10 hint at Russian
connivance in the disaster and thus to
arouse a wave OF feeling against Japan's
recent foe which the government at Toxic

for the authorities to ascertain whether
there have been Illicit sales.
The present system Is rather a lack Of
system. The court grants pistol-carrying
permits occasionally, but places no check
upon the sales of deadly weapons. A pis-
tol-carrier Is detected by the police only
through an accident or a crime. Amy man,
woman or child can buy a gun and the
dealer is under no obligation whatever to
refuse to sell or to insist upon guarantee
of identity. Thus the rules in force are
not even an effective aid to the detection
of criminals after the fact.
