THE Thermometers at St. Paul
Mimi, this week tell a considerable
colder story than ours But while
they recorded 16 degrees below, the
residents of Minnesota in the Cana,
dian northwest found the tempera.
ture twice as cold as it was In St
Paul, the temperature there being 80
degrees, below. In the Dakotas IT
ranged anywhere from 10 to 26 de,
grees below zero. This cold weather
will not last much longer according
to the forecast as it is warming up
in Wyoming and western points

IN the United States Circuit Court
last Saturday Judge Trieber handed
down a decision in the case of Knight
vs. Shelton, involving the validity of
the poll tax amendment to the Con-
stitution of Arkansas. The court
Overruled the demurrer to the COM
plant, the effect of which is to de-
clare the amendment invalid, as nev-
er having been adopted, and as be-
ing no part of the Statutes. This
amendment added TO the qualifca-
tiOns prescribed by the constitution
for the exercise of the right of suf-
frage, the payment of a poll tax,
and without proof of such payment
no citizen was to be permitted to
vote

The War In The East

The japanese captured 35 900
prisoners at Port Arthur. The to-
tai number of non-combatants is
5000. of which 10000 are sick.
The Japanese intend to establish
naval station at Port Arthur. Vice
Admiral y Shibayama will prob
ably be placed in charge The mill
tary administration will only retain
a small garrison as soon as the
prisoners are withdrawn and order
is restored
Information which has reached
certain reliable quarters, states that
the Russian generals in Manchuria
are losing confidence in General Kur-
opatkin, and that the Russian situa-
tIOn around Mukden is a serious
one 1t is feared that if Kuropatkin
attacks the Japanese position along
the Shakhe river, he will court disas-
ter, and that his further retreat will
mean the decentralization of his
army.
There would be more general re-
Joicing at the fall of Port Arthur if
it would bring the war to close
But it is feared that the war will be
resumed in the spring with redoub-
led igor by both armies, the Japs
because they have succeeded so well
so far, and the Russians because
they cannot afford to lose.
A part of the Baltic feet is now in
full retreat for home, and reports
are rife that the Japanese are in hot
pursuit in an endeavor to intercept
and capture them.

A KANSAS reformer has prepared a
bill for introduction in the legislature
of that state changing the marriage
laws so that the parties to a mar
riage may live together for ten years
and then separate without violation
of the law, if they desire. This will
be very Objectionable to some people

Monday morning the ground was
covered to a depth of from 6 to 9

more severe east of here, where the
snow was much deeper. All day
Tuesday snow and sleet fell and bv
night 1t was almost impossible to
get about The last snow was over
4 inches deep, which added to the

that has fallen here in four years.

TRYING to give an idea of the size
of a molecule, Dr. W. Marshall Watts
says that if a drop of water were en-
larged to the dimensions ofthe earth
its molecules would look like heap
of 9,55O,OOO,OOO,OOO 600, ,OOO, ,OOO,-
600 tennis balls. If all scientific
facts can only be reduced to sport
ing terms this way, the general un-
derstanding of the wonders ofnature
will be increased.

ENGLAND is again making plans to
build the biggest battleship in the
world, and by next year some other
important nation will make it neces-
sary for the Brito.ls to start all over.
The biggest battleship in the world
never succeeds in getting itself
launched before bigger one is start
ed somewhere. It's a beautiful
game, especially for the people who
pay.

EDWARD BELLAMY said

EDWARD BELLAMY said, nothing
can overcome the young giant OF
private monopoly, except the great
er giant of public monopoly" He
expressed a world of truth in that
brief sentence. 1t is the one way out
of the clutches of the trusts. Mod
ern conditions of business compel
combination and concentration.
Fighting the trusts thus far has been
productive of no good to the people
The big monopolies laugh at the
puny efforts made to check their rob-
berries. The trouble with the people
is not so much that there are trusts,
as that the people are not in them.
Let the nation own the trusts.

The senate and house held a Joint
session Tuesday to canvass the vote

portant action was the declara tior
of Speaker Cate that proposed
amendment No. 9, providing fol
municipal bonds, was not passed
not having received a majority o
the total vote cast in the election
This decision, concured in by Presi
dent Covington, is in line with tn
decision of Judge Triber last Satur
, day in the polltax amendment case
and is i'll opposition to the decision
of all other speakers upon previou
amendments wherein the same ques
tion was involved.
This action goes far to solidifyin,
r sentiment favorable to the calling c
, a aconstitu ,ional convention, as prac
tically all authorities seem to agre
that there is no question of the legis
lature's authority to call the cor
r vention.
