Trees Becoming Scarce.

country that trees are 10 be got out

too many trees and clearing land was
one OF the hard. necessary tasks. Now

French Men Of Money are inslstIns
on Reform.

80 Ntt1ttts
A feeling seems 10 be growing In
France that any further loans to Rus
sla are out OF the question-at any
rate. tn the new constitution has be-
come a reality. The grounds or the
telief are that fresh advances would
go IN unproductiye expenditure. would
only encourage Russia In her present
ruinous system OF finance, and would
endanger the nine milliards already
lent. In the Aurore NJ. Clemenceau
vigorously enforces this view. France
bad gained nothing from the Russian
alliance except the duty OF providing
for all the follies OF absolutism In
state OF dellrium." To increase her
Invested capital would be merely
einging good money after bad. At the
tame time. we may note the rumor
published by the Gil Bias that at
meeting OF the chief Partisan finan-
tlers IL was resolved TO lend the enor-
nous sum OF two milliards (fS0.000.-
t0O) upon certain conditions. OF which
the more important are that the Dou-
ma should be assembled at once, that
Il should be a real Parliament. repre-
renting the nation and controlling the
finances. and that Il should formally
recognize the foreign debts OF Russia.
This sorry may be true, but II points
ut least TO general intention not to
lend any funds which can be used to
luttress the autocracy. and to demand
for any loans a popular control and
guarantee - ondon Spectator.

Primary Results-COunty

A fine vote was polled in the
Saturday primaries and the very
best Of order was maintained
throughout the county. Not a
wrangle or disturbance Of any kind
was visible here or even a heated
controversy Of any sort, good hu-
mored o. otherwise.
The results, as detailed else
where, are disappointing TO some,
the results Of elections always are,
but the defeated are taking it like
men; they are game to the finish
and without exception are making
friends by it. Nerve is a great
thing to possess and il is especially
admired by Western people and
the man who dies game, even in
political battles, ottimes gains in
the long run more than he loses.
The Randall county "line-up" of
candidates was an unusually good
one and while some OF the best
men in the county failed at the
primaries to reach the goal of their
then present ambitions, they can
have the consolation of knowing
that those who defeated them in
this respect are not only good citi-
zens but perfectly competent to fill
the places for which they were
chosen.
The results, then, while in sever
al instances disastrous to individual
ambition, have in them nothing
bad for the county-we have
good ticket from top to bottom.

family physician is away from
home When they most need his
services. Diseases like cramp

many instances proven fatal be.
tore medicine can be procured
or physician summoned. The
right way is to keep at hand a

WHO CAN BLAME HIM?

Whatever may be said to the
contrary the Car of ''all the
Russias" was forced to dissolve
the Douma. This body of men,
Parliament so-called, was
rapidly going from bad to worse;
it had almost reached the point
where the head of the House of
of Romanoff could truthfully
say, it is their heads or mine
and so barely in the nick of
time he took theirs and saved
his own. 1t was in fact clearly
case of self preservation and
from a human standpoint no
one, be be sovereign or peasant,
can be blamed for making the
cast as did Nicholas of Russia.
Russia has been in darkness
so long that the great mass of
her people are totally unprepar-
ed for constitutional govern
ment; with them freedom and
the right Of suffrage means,
Judging from their recent &C
tons, license to commit all man
ner of crimes against both life
and property. The Gar made
liberal concessions; the Douma,
claiming to represent all the
people asked more; Nicholas in
his natural kindness of heart
and much against the counsel of
the conservatives granted still
more and then this body, call
ing itself the Russian Govern
ment, asked for the whole thing
and the Gar unlike the Inflated
Louis of Bourbon, whose road
many students of history have
predicted he would follow, call
ed their hands and as already
said, who can blame him?
