Surprise.

Jul PAA0Os
Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE,. Wis, November S-The
figures of the Wisconsin election are COM
plete. They show victory for La Toilette
and the democrats in several instances.
Representative Babcock, former chairman
of the republican congressional campaign
committee. opposed by La Toilette, was de-
feated by democrat in whose behalf the
La Toilette followers campaigned vigorous
ly. Three state senators who were opposed
to La Toilette were defeated by democrats.
In two of the counties where this occurred
La Toilette spoke personally In behalf of
the democratic candidates
In addition La Toilette all but turned
over Milwaukee county to the socialists.
He came to the county and spoke in behalf
of the independent candidates who had
been defeated by the regular republican
nominees at the primaries, and the regular
republican vote largely went to the So
cialists
The result was surprise. as 1t had been
supposed that the republican party in the
state was too closely reunited after the
split caused by La Toilette to BE- divided
again BY him.

CONSTANT FRICTION.
Russia and Japan Still Have Their
Troubles.

ST. PETERSBURG, November SAC
cording to advices received here from Vlad-
ivostok there is a constant friction between
the Russians and Japanese in Manchuria.
The japanese, according to the newspapers
of Vladivostok, are continually pressing
northward in Manchuria, with the apparent
intention of establishing themselves in the
hinterland of Vladivostok, where their
presence would constitute a serious menace
to the fortress in the event of the possible
resumption of host.lities. The charge that
the Japanese are fortifying the island of
Saghalin, in violation of the terms of the
treaty of Portsmouth, is reiterated by the
Ussurzhisn.

Wants Extradition Treaties.

ST. PETERSBURG, November s.-The
Russian government, through the foreign
Office. has opened negotiations with other
governments with the view of concluding
supplementary extradition treaties, cover
ing fugitives accused of ,le preparation or
appropriation of explosives for use in the
manufacture of bombs several govern
ments having refused to deliver up such Of
tenders on the grounds that their offenses
were political. The action of the Russian
government is based on the law of Feb
ruary %, subjecting such offenses to the
regular criminal procedure.
Mutineers Sentenced.
ODEESA, November S.-The court-martial
which has been trying the agitators in

to divert attention from the issue at the
bar by making an unprecedented and base
less attack on Mr.. Kelly, who, counsel de-
clared, enjoyed standing in the United
States and France which made his defense
superhuous, he having been counsel for the
American embassy in Paris for the past
twenty years. Maitre Cruppi read letter
from Mr.. Kelly denying the charges mace
against him and saying that until the names
of the persons mentioned were introduced
by counsel for the count he had never
heard of those he was supposed TO nave
brlbed.
Maitre Cruppi then produced what ne de-
clared to be forged documents by which,
counsel charged, the count In July last at
tempted to convince his wife that Mr.. Kelly
was concerned in plot to accomplish MS
political ruin.
Ruin Confronts Him.
So far as money was concerned nothing
would be much altered by a divorce. 1t
would only mean final financial ruin for the
count. 1t was impossible for him to meet
his outstanding obligations, amounting to
s24.O9 year. The remainder of his an
cestral inheritance would have to be sold.
If his wife desired to present him in such
q light before the world he had nothing
more to say.
Nevertheless it seemed only just that he
should be reimbursed the $24O,OOo which ne
obtained by the sale of his share of the
ancestral forest of Bueny, and which was
contributed to the household expenses.
Several sharp passages between Maitres
Cruppi and Bonnet took place, one of them
compelling the intervention of Judge Ditti.
Finally Maitre Bonnet asked the court to
postpone the case for fortnight in the
hope of a final reconciliation, but the judge

Creditors Suit Next.
PARIS, November S.-The court after
hearing the conclusions of the public prose-
cutor next week will announce its decision
either for a divorce or for an examination
of the witnesses. The creditors case, in
which Count Boni. the Countess de Castel-
lane and George ]. Gould. as trustee, are
made joint defendants, was called after
recess today. This suit, which is brought
by six creditors, involves $5iO, 900.
Maitre Milerand of counsel for the cred
itors contended that the. countess, under
the regime of separation of property. was
responsible with her husband for the ex-
penses of5the household. He spoke in an
extremely sarcastic vein. saying that his
clients were particularly glad to learn that
the countess did rot intend to fly to Amer
lea. Maitre Milerand ridiculed- the at
tempts of opposing counsel to depict her
as living In state of poverty. The count,
he asserted. had not squandered all her
money. The countess should pay her share
of the ext-avagances. In single month
she lad spent $4,000. The ceiling of her
bed room cost 100000. with furniture to
match.

Among the other extravagancies men
toned by counsel We're 500 900 for Jewels.
s21.233 for horses. $29.S00 for automobiles.
$4,000 for CarOlus Durans portrait of the
countess, and so on.
The bills in the present case include
judgments against the count. There was
bill from a dressmaker for dresses and
money advanced. amounting to SOS 235, and
one for s23, 200, and another for H5,37O.

The Day Of Rest.

From the Cleveland I.eaderl
Alarm has ben felt for some time
past by millions Of Americans over
the tendency toward the European
Sunday in this country. Not only the
ministry but many laymen have been
deeply concerned. Fro mthe stand
point Of religion the thought Of giving
Sunday up to work and creation is alb
horrent. Many who are not ami.
mated by religious feeling deplore It
because they deem 1t bad in ma.
teriai sense. II men refuse to take
one day Of rest in the week, nature
is likely to be revenged upon them.
Much interest is felt, then, in IRE.
port recently made 10 the Woman's
National Sabbath Alliance. It declares
that a general movement is plainly
perceptib1e In Europe toward a more
careful observance Of Sunday. On tho
Continent, as a rule, only half the day
has been set aside for rest. Now the
economic value Of cessation from la.
Dor during the entire day is being rec
ognized. In Spain The Sunday bull
fights arc being discouraged. Sunday
train schedules are being cut down in
Germany. IN France and Italy the
amount Of work done on Sunday is be-
Ing lessened. The object lesson of the
Aaglo-saxon Sunday winning ground
against the continental Sunday in Eu'
rope is sure to have marked effect in
this country, directly and indirectly,
Ii will make future immigrants more
ready to fall in with American ways,
1t will also AFFECT tho point Of view Of
many foreign born residents Of tho
United states.

EDITOR REPRESENT

Another idol has fallen from its ped
cstal
Prof. George Gunton, editor of Gun

Worse than that--it ls charged tll4t
the trusts and big corporations have
contributed not less than 100000 to
put the professors magazine into The
hands OF the people, aaf his former
wife alleges that GnatM receives the
SUN of $4,000 a year as q retainer
from the Standard OIL Company. And
this latter statement tallies with that
made by Ida Tarbell, that C;unton has
been paid $4,000 a year by the Stand
ard Oil Company for 15years.
AS all those who Fave reatl his writ.
ings well know, Gunton for several
years has been n leading apologist for
the trusts. Corporations that enjoy
special privileges have hal liz him a
leading champion. he has long adj
mlred and advocated the centraliza-
ton OF commercial affairs.
It is therefore fortunate for the pub
lie 10 know that he Speaks as a hired
mouthpiece. Because when the peo-
pie know who the hired attorneys Of
the special interests arc they can rate
their utterances accordingly.
Would It surprise the reader to be
told this fact?- Certain editors, who
pose as the friends Of the people, do
not hesitate to tell their intimate
friends that they have as much moral
right to take money and write for spe-
cIal interests as an attorney has TO take
a fee and serve these interests.
Which raises several questions:
Who does the editor represent? To
whom does he owe fealty? To the
readers Of his paper orto the corpora
lions who want to hire him? Who does
he stand for, his constituents-the
public-or the enemies OF the public?
The questions answer themselves.
The editor Of a publication has TAX

Of Ills subscribers. Hots in their pay
-and in their pay alone. To accept
a Zee from another source is to turn
traitor to his clientage,
Moreover-The parallel Of lawyer
and editor does not hold in this: The

conner. He betrays no interest There
