WHITE IS ARRAYED
AGAINST MIRSKY.
Former Opposed to Liberal Re

councils Of Emperor Nicholas APP
preaching that of General Loris Melt
koff during the trying nihilistlc days OF
Alexander H., may be one OF the
startling results Of the contest being
waged over the question OF interior re-
form.
The popular idea has been that Prince
Sviatopolk- Mirsky and NJ. Witt were
acting in harmony, but the Associated
Press learns from the highest source
that exactly the opposite is the fact.
They can more properly bedescribed as
rivals and opponents than as friends.
Despite the difficulty Of Minister
sviatopolk- Mirsky's role after he as
sumed office, owing to the powerful IN
fuences arrayed against him, he was
able to hold his own with marks OF the
emperor's favor and approval But
with M. Witte S advent upon the scene
the situation changed. M. Witte pre-,
vailed in the matter of the lmper1ai1
manifesto, the hazy terms OF which dld
not meet with Prince Sviatopolk-
Mirsky's views. =,
The princes friends believe that it
suits NJ. Whites present purpose to
adopt a comparatively conserva-
tive attitude until all the reins
Of power are firmly in his own
hands. Under the circumstances the
prince, whose health is greatly i'm
paired, and who is plain-spoken man
unschooled in the art of intrigue, feels
himself unequal to the task of continu-
Ing the contest and has confided to his
friends within twenty-four hours that
he prefers to retire. His resignation,
if not already offered, may come any
minute.

d, Entitled to Every Vote.

The state Is entitled to have each citi-
zen vote in order that the result Of the
elections may be the just sentiment Of
the people Of this state. It would seem
to be only just that those who do not
prize this privilege enough to exercise
it ought to forfeit 1t. The knowledge that
! failure to vote would disfranchise them
and make them political eunuchs would
bring home to them a realization Of its
supreme value When a corporation OBJ
tains q franchise 1t Is forfeited by non
users. Apply this principle to the priv
ilege Of voting and it will do more than
anything else to remedy the evil Of civic
indifference that Is the weakness Of a
