What the Editors Say

The present legislature contains too
many gubernatorial aspirants for it's
own good. Several meritoriouS pri-
mary bills were killed because they in
terfered with the plans of some of the
prospective governors. The Lund bill
was an example. Mr.. Lund figures he
stands no show in a state convention.
but believes he would win in a primary
election.-Red Lake Courier.
Senator Knute Nelson says that
many important changes are needed in
the tariff, many of the schedules being
too high. and he thinks that tariff re-
vision will be on the programme at the
extra session. Possibly 1t may be on
the programme. but will the senators
who represent the tariff protected trust
permit any uction?-Crookston
Journal.
A member of the legislature is said
to have objected to the state sending
the money for the publication of the
new primary bill and to have remark

editors will publish it anyway" He

~ well, for the law has been published
in most of the papers.-fargo Forum.
There has been some discussion
whether il is right for soldiers to carry
Sharpened swords. Of course, il is
wrong. If a soldier is going TO kill a
man he should tickle him to death with
chicken feather. The idea of killing
man with sword is abhorrent to
every lover of the noble game of war.
1t is quite too rude.-Goodhue County

Jury Must Be of Twelve

WASHINGTON, April 10. - The
United States supreme court today held
that portion of the Alaska code provid-
ing for jury of six men to be uncon-
stitutional. The opinion was by Jus
tice White and was based on the
ground that Alaska is a part of the
territory of the United States in the
full sense of the word. The case was
that of Fred Rasmussen vs.. United
States. Rasmussen was indicted for
keeping disorderly house and took
exception to being tried by a jury of
only six members. The decision of
the district court of Alaska was re-
versed and the case remanded with
directions to grant a new trial.

Contemporary Comment
Opposed to French Influence

There is no longer any room TO
doubt the purpose of the visit which
Emperor William is making to Moroc-
CO. The effort TO communicate the
impression that ii had no political sig
nificance. that the kaiser simply called
at Tangier because. happening to be
in the neighborhood. ne wished to
pay his respects to Sultan Alb dull
AziZ, has been abandoned, and il is
freely admitted that the trip was I'M
dertaken with the deliberate intention
of expressing the refusal of the Ger
man government to acquiesce in the
arrangement whereby the sultan is
converted into a French vassal and
Morocco is recognized as coming
within the French sphere of influence.

Is It Sport to Kill DeerP
From the Chicago Post.


Perhaps you have been through Yellow
stone Park and have noticed how tame
the deer are there. And as YOU have won
dered at this tameness you have met the
eye of the deer, giving you a look of such
gentle confidence that all the brute in yov
has fallen asleep. And then all the man
in you has asked: rs 1t sport to kill an
animal that seems to trust you so fully?''
The true sportsman always likes to feel
that he is pitting his cunning and his
skill against something worth while; that
the fortunes of the chase are likely to be
somewhat equally divided between him
self and the would victim. Where the
chances are all in favor of the man with
the gun real craftsmanship plays no
part.
Under such conditions how can any man
call 1t sport to shoot a deer? The adj
vantage, with the sole exception of fleet
ness, is all with the man. For even the
disposition of the deer is to trust the man.
The poor hunted animal says as plainly
as pair of wonderfully beautiful and
expressive eyes can say: Surely you
would not harm me- l would be friends
with you. / would eat out of your hand.
l would even be beast of burden for
you. See, freely acknowledge you lord
of creation l only ask that you let me
live" 1t is good for the man who has the
lust to kill in his blood to go to the yell
lowstone. There the stern voice of the
law says: Thou shalt not kill There
the animals are free IS nature made
them There man may look into the eye
of the deer and learn lesson in gentle
ness and trust. That. if he be man, will
do much to purge from his ideas of sport
the faint of pure brutality.
The glance of the deer is a cure for the
itch of the trigger finger.
