BLOW FOR THE PEACE OF TIE WORLD.

"Admiral Togo has struck mighty blow
for the peace of the world. He has uplifted
the civilization of the future. He has opened a
a broad road for the progress of the East. He
has done more than all the Tolstoys, Whites
and Gopons, Nihlists, statesmen and economists
of Russia for the final redemption thru pain
and blood Of the unhappy Slavic people. He
has given the signal for healthy revolution in
Russia. and for healthy development of China.
He has given the death blow to the most
menancing despotism Of modern times. He has
lifted the cloud of military aggression that
hung over two continents. He has opened the
greatest and oldest of continents to the trade of
all the nations on equal terms. Thus does war
perform it's eternal mission as the hand MAIDEN
of civilization and the pioneer of progress
"EIe has won the greatest naval victory of
modern, perhaps of any times, He takes his
place in the first rank where Horatio Nelson
stood alone before. The battle he has won can
be compared with none but itself. 1t is as it
the battle of Trafalgar has been fought in the
German ocean and the French and Spanish
ships had no refuge but hostile neutral ports
It is as if the Spanish Armada had been crushed
at a blow, instead of merely scattered for winds
and waves to complete the week of Howard and
Drake aud Hawkins. It is battle like the
cruel combats of olden time, in which the beaten
army was annihilated The hard conditions of
naval warfare permit these bloody extinctions,
forbidden by humanity of land.
Zone does not need details to realize the
completeness of it. The hidden strategy of
months is revealed in the flash of the Japanese
guns. Togo has bided his time. From Singa-
pore to Masampo he has kept in touch with the
enemy thru his scouts, retiring before him till
he reached his chosen battle field. He gave
Rojestvensky only the choice between the
narrow straits of Korea and the mine sown
channel of Tsugaru He knew when the choice
made and the spot with all his
ships gathered like dogs in leash. He de-
livered his blow and the Russian fleet ceased
to exist as a fleet.

AN OVERWORKED BODY.

"When member of the legislature has
nothing else on his mind, he usually sits down
and thinks out something new for the railroad
and warehouse commission to do. The result
is string of more or less important laws which
make the three commissioners men-of-al-work
for the state, says the Minneapolis Journal.
This observation is prompted by the visit
of the commission to Kenyon, where they were
called by the insistent demand of the village
for a fagman at the Great Western crossing.
Now a flagman is an important matter to Ken
you, and if the crossing is dangerous it ought
| by all means to be guarded It's not importa Mt
enough to the state atlarge, however. to call for
day of the commissions time. The visit is
| quired by of the laws passed last winter,
and it is conceivable that $50 Minnesota will
ages might want gates fagman within
the next year. taking one-half of the working
days the calendar allows the commission.
They have also frequent trips to hear applica
tons for "Y" connections, and to inspect inter
locking plants, duties more or less technical
and routine. The commission is also at the
head of the grain inspection and weighing
service of the state, gravely important de-
partment requiring much attention, and it has
even been charged with the installation of
hay inspection system. If the work of the COM
mission could be subdivided it might be easier
to carry all these duties, but it is necessary
for the three members to act as unit, and each
one must be informed of the facts i'll every case.
at is a pity that the commission has been
SO loaded with routine, for under new laws
passed last winter it's rate making duties and
MOWERS are GREATLY Increased NJ rate or
ification in the state may be changed now,
either up or down, without consent of the COM
mission, after opportunity for a hearing on
objections which might arise. The commission
has added authority to examine railroad books
and enforce the drastic law against re-
bates. Added to all this, the legislature has
given specific instructions for a revision of
frel ght rates, a work involving months of study
and investigation, which has only been begun.
The commission must become expert body, /
and it's members cannot put in too much time
on this vastly important line of work. Yet
under the law it must give due attentions and
make a special trip to every village that wants
a aagman at crossing
at stands to reason that the commission is |
overloaded with routine duties, and that the
real interests OF Shippers ana puDHc are injured
by lawmakers with fertile expedients for keep
ing the commissioners bnsy. It would be easy
for them to shirk important duties the plea
that routine takes all their time. Even with l
the best intentions and the most industrious /
application, they cannot do justice to their
work. 1t is time to relieve the commission of Il
minor duties by giving them deputies to look |
after such details, or else to subdivde the work
so that someone will have time to master the
rate proposition. Neither the railroads or the
public can afford to have it bungled"

We always had our doubts to whether the
"ReCiproCal Demurrage" proposition was pure
and unaduterated gospel, and the following
from the Minneapolis Journal shows that where
it has been tried they good and sick of it,
"Possibly some of the people who were
1aboring so zealously in the last Legislature to
secure the enactment of reciprocal demurrage
law would be surprised to know what kind of
a demurrage law they have in Connecticut In
that state the shipper is entitled to four days
time in which to load it. But of course, this
unreasonable measure does not produce good
results. While the shipper is so unreasonably
favored in this respect he has to suffer in others
The Connecticut law with regard to demurrage
is so unfair that it has become difficult at GER
times to obtain cars in which to haul coal into
that state with the result that industries have
been embarrassed for lack of fuel. This comes
of "playing the hog" The Connecticut shippers
asked too much, and they anxious tol
get rid of their demurrage law with the pro-
spect that regulations will swing over to the
other extreme, and they will have less latitude
than is allowed in most states" Minneapolis |

Central played the better game at cen

CENTRAL'S REASONS
FOR NOT PLAYING
Thinks Ii Is justified in Re-
fusing Techs Def.

The Central High School football man.
agement has decided not 70 consider the
challenge Of the Technical team to plav
off the 90 game which was played be-
tween these two schools on the 10th of
this month
The first reason for this decision was
that the challenge was not formal, since
It was signed by the captain and man
sger only OF the Manual Training
School and gave no hint that 1t had the
sanction of Mr.. Hecox. the faculty ad-
wiser and coach of the school. This was
considered p sufficient reason for not ac-
cepting the def. which enanates not
from the proper channels but from the
captain and manager, who, according TO
the rules OF the internigh school ath-
letic committee, have not the authority
to arrange games without the sanction
and advice or the faculty adviser OF
the school to which they belong.
Has All to Lose.
The second reason Central gives for
not wishing TO play the game over is
that Central has gone through the sea-
son with two victories, one defeat. and
one tie. thereby winning second place
in the championship race, while Tech
has suffered one defeat. played two tie
games. and won only one. which places
It IN third place. Stin another reason Is
that with but one exception, and that
because the championship was at stake,
no tie game has ever yet been replayed
The single exception referred to Yves
the game between Central and Eastern
| in 1897, when those two teams played
a 90 game, and which Eastern won
/ in the final contest.
IT is true that the Eastern and Tech
nical teams have agreed to again night II
out for honors, thus establishing a pre-
cedcnt, but both teams have practically
the same men they have had all sea
son, whereas, on the other hand, the
/ Central team has been greatly depleted
