hare made a trip down Main street

took the hint and went for it in live

gave pursuit. The spectators shouted
and were overjoyed. The hare ran
and ran, and the dogs ran and ran,

Bre'r Lampman of the Neche Chrome
type does not like the new libel law that
the legislature just passed. Of course
the law is rather "ferce" but we hardly
thought that Bre'r Lampman would have
any kick coming. AS all his readers
know, his roars are always as mild and
gentle as those OF sucking dove, and
there has never been any danger of his
running up against any kind of old law.
Why. it was only few weeks ago that
he himself stated to the effect that though
he might sometimes say things that he
never meant 'em. "Never to express a
sentiment inspired by malice, or with in.
tent to Go harm to we'll deserving fel-
low mortal" were his words. Just tell
the court SO Lamp. and,he will fine the
other fellow and perhaps put him in
prison. You see the gist of the law is
you can say anything about Anybody,
provided you are not malicious, or that
what is said is true.

ROTTEN INSURANCE.

And now the great life insurance com
panies are coming under the lime light ol
the press. Immense sums of money have
been collected from the people for the
purpose Of securing to them certain
protection. This money belongs to the
people who paid it, but recent develop.
ments make it seem as though some o1
the insurance officials thought that it be.
longed to them.
There is no doubt that the general
government should at least step in and
cx anime the finances of these companies
just as they do and for the same reason
that they examine national banks.
There are millions of people who are
depending almost solely on life insur.
ance tor the care and support OF their
families when the natural supporter dies.
They have put a large part OF their spare
savings in these companies and now they
are beset with doubts as to whether the
insurance will be worth anything or not,
and whether it is best to keep paying in
premiums on what may turn out to be
worthless policies.
1t seems to us that life insurance has
come to be of so common use ard OF so
vast importance that there is no other
subject in which the people are more
vitality interested. The whole system OF
insurance nee DIS modification, and if the
government ever does go into public
ownership, the insurance business would
be about the most useful they could first
try their hands on.

the immense losses that have befallen
the Russians, and it is even now ques.
ton whether her victories have not been
at the expense of losses that have cost
her as much as the victories have been
worth.
But when peace does come, then it is
probable that other nations including this
country, will insist on being present at
the settlement. China owns the bone
that the Russians and Japs have been
fighting for; China has been practically
assured by other nations of the preserva-
ton of her national integrity, and the
Japs are likely to want what they think
they have won, and they. are liable to be
rather strenuous in their demands backed
by victorious army of veteran soldiers
and navy of equal strength with mos,
powers. So what peace may bring forth
might perhaps be just another war in
which perhaps the whole world may en-.
gage.
The end of the Russio-Jap war is like
ly to be of more interest to the world
than is the present fighting, great and
bloody as it is.

ST. VINCENT VOTES ON WHISKY.
There is movement to have an elec-
ton within snort time over in St. Vim
cent to see if they will abolish the
saloons there, as local option is the law
in Minnesota.
1t will probably be voted down if held
and the saloons will be continued. The
argument will come to the voters there,
with perhaps more force than usual, ow.
ing to the probable removal of the Gus.
tom house and other similar contingen
cies,-if we vote out the saloons what
will be left Of the town.
On the other hand, we make the as.
sertion that St. Vincent is an emphatic
example OF the fact that whisky never
die town any good, never did saloon
keeper any good and never did the man
who drinks any good. This is true Fl.

Not many months ago theater burn
ed in Chicago, with great loss OF liie,
A few months later thousand people
were lost on an excursion boat burning in
the harbor of New York. In both cases il
was proven that the owners had grossly
neglected the laws of public safety, be.
sides being wantonly careless OF human
fife. Puciic indignation was then at the
highest pitch. EoRody has been punish
ed, and now the world has nearly forgot
ten the facts. Pretty soon we will hear
of similar holocaust and then we will
all be indignant again.

TOWN MEETING.

Town meetings occur next Tuesday in
this state. This is the one survival OF
the early days when the people governed
direct. 1t is the one place where the in
dividual voter can say his say with his
own mouth. without having to appoint a
representative to do it tor him.
The legislation Of the town meeting
comes closer home and is therefore more
easily comprehended and discussed by
by the local voter than the greater affairs
OF state, but is equally important to him
if not more SO, than are the matters that
come before thelegislature and congress,
Every voter should attend his local
town meeting and participate in the
work Of the day. Good roads, careful
finance, efficient officials, these are mat
ters Of as nlu Eli interest to the farmer as
the raising of his own crops.
In choosing officlas it is good plan
in this as in other business, to keep good
men IN office when they have proven to
be good men. A new nlan however good
has mucl, to earn. The principal quail
.fcations for. township Office are imparti-
a ity, and good common sense. For the
clerica, Offices like clerk and assessor
must he added clerical ability. The man
however who is most anxious for town

THE GREAT BATTLE.

For two weeks the Russians and Japs
have been fighting what is undoubtedly
one of the greatest battles OF history.
Perhaps in all respects it is the greatest
battle-certainly in some respects. Prob
ably no greater number of men were ev'
er actively engaged in killing each other
at one time, never before have so large a
number kept fighting on for so long a
time continuously and the list of casual
ties though not yet counted up with ex-
actness, is estimated for the Russian
army alone at 25, 600 dead, 75,0u0 woun-
ded and $1,000 prisoners. Estimating
the loss of the Japs in small proportion
to that OF the Russians, the total of both
armies would be over 200, 600.
The immediate results Of the battle
have been to cause Kuropatkin to retreat
from Mukden, about 40 miles north. to
Tie Pass with the remnant of his army,
closely pursued by the victors. This
place is quite strong and though the Japs
are straining every nerve to get around
him, it is doubtful in the exhausted state
the Jap troops must be alter SO long
fighting, II they can dislodge the Rus.

fresh troops, experts think the whole ot
the Russian army would be captured.
