FAMINE IN RUSSIA
Eighteen Millions of People Are Con-
fronted by Starvation.

Russia is faced with a terrible
widespread famine, which extends
through 19S districts and 23 provinces
and affects a population of 100000
people who will have to be fed until
the middle Of next July.
The splendid hospital organization
of the united zemstvos is centered in
Moscow and relief work has already
been begun, but so gigantic is the
task that there is no hope of supply
ing sufficient food to the starving mil
lions.

dent Mitchell took the floor. He re-
viewed the conduct of the Colorado

vised settlement and would do so
again under the same circumstances.
He said early in the strike President
Howells of the district asked for $780,
900 with which to carry on the strike,
which had been refused, as President
Mitchell said he did not want to trust

Mitchell made the charge that ex-

noble proportions, stately halls
and Conrtless rooms, made Of
most beautiful stone and de-
,corated most beautifully.
Some criticism has been
passed on the building on ac-
count Of the interior arrange
ment of the rooms not being as
convenient as in the old build
ing. We believe the criticism
will be withdrawn, however,
when once the officials become
accustomed to their new
quarters. A claim shanty
where you can start the fire
before getting out of bed is
the handiest habitation on

t1nue to live in claim shanties

alton shall be one-ha1f of one
mill. It is correspondingly
larger in counties baving more
than 100000.
The purpose of both bills is
to provide more equitable
method of equalizing assess
ment. Those who advocate
the appointment of county
assessors say that the assess
ments in the several townships
would be more nearly equal
than under the present arrange
ment.
The purpose of the bills is
in the right direction, but it is
doubtful if that one which pro-
vides for the appointment of
assessors by the governor,
auditor and attorney general
will receive the approval of
the people. Under these con-
ditions there would be too
much of an opportunity for
"log-rolling," and would re-
move the selection of the
assessors far from the people,
which is directly in opposition
to the principles upon which
this government was founded.
The people are capable of
choosing their own officials,
and the task is one which they
do not hesitate to perform.
AS rule good men are selected
for the offices within their gift.
The suggestion of county as
SCISSORS is one which is not
without merit. This plan is in
vogue in some states, and it
works we'll.

true that the nominating
speech and the seconding
speeches were all as short as
they could be made, but
on account of the overwhelm-
ing majority for Clapp, we
hardly blame the members for
making the speeches as brief
as possible. Seine members of
the House could doubtless
make great speeches on great
occasions, but so far, we have

then made few remarks in
regard to cooperation between

which were we'll received.
AS so many of our readers
have at different times ex-
pressed interest in the PROPOSE
ton to abolish the grand jury
in whole or in part--made pos
sible by the passing of the
grand jury" amendment last
fall I've feel they will be inter
ested in the bill which has been
introd uced by Senator Lay
bourn, the originator of the
amendment voted on last fall.
The full text of the bill follows:
Section Grand juries shall
not hereafter be summoned or
required to attend any term of
any court within this state un-
less the judge or Judges thereof
shall make and file with the
clerk of the court, at least fif-
teen (15) days before the first
day of the next term of such
court, an order directing the
clerk of such court to draw and
issue summons for a grand
jury to appear on the first day
of the next term of such court.
Sec. 2. The judge or judges
IF any district court i'll this
state shall make and file with
he clerk of the court an order
directing the drawing and issu-
ng summons for a grand
ury:
First-W hen in the opinion
# the judge or judges of said
curt public necessity demands |
he action OF grand jury.
Second When said Judge or
Judges of said court shall be
,equested by majority vote of /
he county commissioners to
rider a grand jury.
Third-When said Judge or
Judges Of said court shall be
equested by petition signed
y at least $50 electors to order
grand jury.
Sec. 3. That section It'll of
ne General Statutes of 1894 be
nd the same is hereby re-
called.
Sec. 4. That this act shall ]
Ike effect and be in force from
nd after it's passage.
It will be seen that the pro- s
osed bill retains the grand Z
ny where it is needed, but
ould make it Unnecessary in 1

Shylock Down to Date,

The graduating class of the state
agricultural school inaugurated COM
mencement week with the class play,
which took the form this year of good
natured satire on football. Shakspere
furnished the groundwork of the effort
when he wrote the Merchant of Venice,
but the farmer lads and lassies mod
ernized it to suit their purposes and
produced something which furnished
hearty amusement to a large audience.
The hero Of the bucolic merchant is a
football player who in moment of ex-
IRENE stress mortgages to Shylock a
pound of hair to be cut off nearest his
brains. =
On the Hateful day of the champion
ship game Shylock appears on the grid
iron and demands of Antonio the pound
of hair to be by him cut off as per con-
tract. Confusion and dismay reign I'm,
til-enter Portia, who, as last resort,
proves that the bargain is null and
void since football players do not have
brains. The discontinue of the willy
Jew is as complete as ever it was in
Venice. The satire, cleverly put to.
gether, was the work of members Of the
class, and the histrionic talent was also
confined to the members of the gradual
ing group.

Secretary Hays Illness.

The prospect Of losing the services
of John Hay as secretary Of state is dis
quieting to the people of this country re-
gardless of politics. They recognize in
him the man who has done more to put
American diplomacy on a high plane
than any secretary of state of recent
generations. Without the wordiness Of
Seward or the lack of knowledge of
European politics of some of his lesser
predecessors, Secretary Hay has been
no less intensely American but more
broadly cosmopolitan in his treatment
of affairs of state.
The secretary's illness comes at a
time when at any moment there may
be the greatest need for his services.
The making of peace between Japan and
Russia, which is not out of the immedi-
ate possibilities, would make it almost
imperative that John Hay be at his
desk in the best possible physical con:
dition. 1t is his diplomacy which has
confined the war to Manchuria. It is
his diplomacy which has saved China
from dismemberment and in the event
of Russia attempting to make her peace
with Japan at the expense Of the flowery
kingdom, his presence in the negotia
lions would be Of the highest i'm
portance to the preservation Of the
foundation of Chinese integrity which
he has, with rare craftsmanship, laid.
