Big Reforms In Elections.

Senator Lafollette of Wisconsin,
introduced a sweeping bill requir-
ing committees of all political par
ties in national and congressional
elections to account for all money
expended, in said elections, for I'll

Try for Liberty Wa wail-Dimsd,
Coming Just When Russian Rev
olution Was in Full Sway.

If one could believe that gov
ernments or rulers reward sub
seryient nations as parents re-
ward their children, the autonomy
of Finland might be considered as
a right well won.
The immediate means by which
self-government in the grand
duchy has been regained was the
great strike, which was nicely
timed with reference to disturb
ances throughout the rest of Rus
STA. This, from the Russian point
of view, was, of course, not good
behavior, but bad. 1t is, however,
but one part of the story.
In the twelfth century the
Swedes began the process of con
vcrting the Films to Christianity.
Work of that sort was done in
those days by the church militant;
and when, at the end of a hundred
years, this particular task was
completed, Finland was no longer
an independent country, but "a
grand duchy of Sweden. In this
relation, although enjoying a
large measure of liberty, Finland
remained until the wars between
Sweden and Russia came to au
end in 1909. Then, by the peace Of.
Fredrikshamn, Sweden coded the
grand duchy to Russia.
Car Alexander |. guaranteed to
the people the same measure OF
autonomy which they had enjoyed
before the cession. Every sdbse
quent car, including the present
one, has renewed this pledge. New
ertheless, in 1898 Nicholas began
process of classification of Fin
land which has gone on slowly but
steadily ever since, until at last
hardly a vestige of self-gOYern-
ment remained. \
Naturally the Firms resisted,
but the resistance was for the
most part sane, dignified and re-
strained. While Poland burst
forth in bloody armed uprisings,
Finland preserved that cool-head-
ed but uncOmpromising attitude
which it is the fashion nowadays
to call "passive resistance" The
great industrial strike was the
culmina ton.
Russia no doubt regards Fin
land as anything but good child;
but judging its course by that of
other members of the turbulent
family, it has behaved we'll enough
to entitle it to freedom of speech
and of the press, protection from
arbitrary arrest, maintenance of
its legislative chamber, and such
other measures of political liberty
as it has attained.

FREES AND THE PYRAMIDS
low a Little Sentiment by Napoleon
\ Served to Win Battle-Age Of
Growth from Layers.

Tradition has it that Napoleon
encouraged his soldiers before the
battle of the Pyramids with the
picturesque phrase Forty cen
turtles look down upon YOU" and
yet the span OF a single sequois
about equals what to the Biblical
chronologies of Napoleon seemed
the limit of time. Many of those
still vigorous and growing trees
sprouted about the time that
Christ was born at Bethlehem in
Judea, says Popular Science
Monthly. Most of those still
Standing had commenced to grow
al least before the fall of Rome.
W can count the annual layers in
81 wood of those whiehhavebeen
N fnt down, and calculate with con.
Ysiderable accuracy their age and
\ varying rapidity of growth.
II is not strictly correct to speak
Of these growth layers as "annu.
al" They are primarily the result
Of the varying rapidity of growth
of the cells, thus inStrees of tenn
perate climes there IS a. gradual
slowing down of vital aetiyitySas
the summer advances, followed by
q prolonged resting period during
the winter, and All accelerated re
sumption Of activities in the
spring. These varying functions
are recorded in the size and nature
"a ne cells formed.
For example, in our oak or
chestnut the spring wood con,
sists largely of pitted ducts Of
large size, which are prominent
and in marked contrast with the
much smaller celled and more sol
id additions formed by the slower
growth later in the season. In
eOne-bearing trees like the sequOia
the differences are almost entire
ly of size, the transition being alb
rupt from the fine wood cells
formed at the close of the season
to the much larger cells of the Wig
Orous vernal growth. 1t follows
that under certain conditions a
tree might add more than one ring
in a year, but for our purpose, and
generally speaking, it is proper to
designate these rings as annual.
Year after year the sequOias have
been adding layer after layer to
their girth in ever widening cir
eles. The thousands of tons Of
bark shed by each tree during its
long career, the tens and hun.
dreds of thousands of tons of sap
that have coursed through their
venerable trunks, and the inner
merable progeny of a single tree
in the older, more propitious days
"a contemplation of these facts
assists us in realizing the true
proportions Of these forest mon
arehs.

Grand Opera
House Attractions

Coming Season Which Will Certainly Delight Theatre
Goers. Two Companies Engage for RehearsaIs

ing the country, and he not only has
the advantage Of securing the very
best for Brookings but will, no doubt,
be able to induce other companies to
spend their summer vacation here
while rehearsing new plays for the
next seasons business.
With the beautiful weather we are
now enjoying it would be hard to find
more suitable place for summer
resorting. The fine shade trees,
homelike surroundings, and Lake
Campbell within short driving dis
tance, make Brookings an ideal place
for rest and comfort at this season of
the year, and theatrical companies
would find it cheap and inviting
place to remain for a brief vacation
while using one Of the best arranged
opera houses in the state in their pre-
paration for next years work.
In conversation with Manager Wal
ker recently in regard to the fall and
winters attractions at the Grand he
said: "We are going to be able to
fill the bill. We will have the best
coming to South Dakota this year
and all we ask is the patronage of the
people as an encouragement of our
efforts in securing only frst-class
entertainments"
Continuing he said-the season
will open Sept. 7th with cold Ken

sixteen people. On Sept. 18th Fisk

There are but few who realize what
Manager Walker and the Grand are
really doing for Brookings. Besides
the fine line Of entertainments which
have been afforded the public during
the past year the house has provided a
meeting place for all classes Of public
meetings and entertainments that
could not be accommodated elsewhere,
owing to the limited seating capacity
OF other public buildings.
This OF itself is no small feature
when We consider that for years Brook
ings has been badly handicapped in
this respect. The future is Of more
importance than the past and with the
growth of the city the advantages of a
building of this kind will become
more apparent.
On the Oath OF this month the Ruth
Craven Theatrical Co., will arrive in
Brookings for a months stay and
have engaged the opera house for
rehearsals. Ruth Craven will be
remembered through her recent pro-
duction in this city Of East Lynne"
in which she gave such universal
satisfaction. About the Sd OF August
the Tom Keeney Stock Co., will also
arrive for months DEMONSTRATING
advantage Of the special inducements
offered by the management for the use
OF the Grand, for such purposes,
through the dull season. Their work
while here will be principally upon
new plays which they will produce the
coming season.
This feature Of bringing theatrical
companies to South Dakota for sum-
mer rehearsals is a new one, as they
usually assemble in the larger cities
where they have the advantages of a
metropolitan stage, scenery, and other
accessories necessary to the complete
production Of a new play.
Manager Walker being the booking
agent for over fifty Of the best houses
