SUPREME COURT TUESDAY
There are Fifty.Five Cases on the
Calender-WiN Not Reach
Murphy Case.

The spring term Of the supreme
court will open, pursuant to adjourn
ment, next Tuesday morning in the SUI
preme court chamber in Fargo. The
calender contains fifty-five cases and
Clerk Hoskins says that at least a
third OF them and possibly more will
be argued at that time.
Some people expect that the MUIR
ply case will be argued on appeal
from the district court of Cass county
at this term, but informed attorneys
declare such is not the case, as it has
been physically impossible to prepare
the matter for argument at this term.
1t is said that there won't be much
more than enough time to have it we'll
in readiness for the fall term as the
records are of such great volume.

THE COMPOSITION OF THE DOUMA

Young men are at the fore in Rus
STA, if We are to regard the douma as
representative of the active elements
of the nation. In the former douma
last year there were comparatively
few young men and many old ones,
there being twice as many over fifty
years of age as there were under
thirty. Now the proportion is almost
exactly reversed. About one-fifth of
the members are under thirty, while
only one-tenth are over fifty. Between
those ages the majority are nearer
the younger than the older figure, 40
per cent being between thirty and
forty, while only 80 per cent are
between forty and fifty. Analysed by
classes or parties, it is observed that
the moujfk or peasant members are
the youngest of all and the reaction
aries are the Oldest, as was to be
expected.
From an educational point of view
there has been little change from the
first douma to the second. AS before,
only about one-half of / per cent of
the members are illiterate-a much
more favorable showing than many
hostile critics of Russia would have
predicted. Of course, the proportion
of illiterates among the people is
enormously greater than that, but at
least the illiterates are intelligent
enough to elect educated men as their
representatives. In the first douma
no fewer than AZ per cent were uni
versity bred. That proportion is now
reduced to 80, but it still compares
favorably, all conditions and circum-

WON'T GET THE PLACE
Stated Semi. officially that McCandless
Will Not be Assistant
Superintendent.

In railroad circles it is stated semi
officially, that McCandless, the st.
Paul man, who was in the city few
days ago, and whom it was rumored,
would be the assistant superintendent
of the Great Northern Dakota division,
will not accept the position and the
"high-ups" are casting their eyes about
for available timber. McCandless once
before held the position as assistant
superintendent and would undoubted-
ly make good man for the place, but
he now occupies high place in St.
Paul and has decided to stick to the
position.

TWO MEN ARE DISCHARGED
Quigley and King, Charged with Grand
Larceny Get OF ut Hearing in
st. Cloud.

Frank Quigley and A. King, who
were arrested some time ago on
charges of grand larceny have been
discharged from custody. These two
men were arrested by Great Northern
detectives at st. Cloud. and their hear
ing was held there. The stealing was
claimed to have taken place at Mel
rose. A bunch of shoes was the al
legged plumber, and the complaining
witnesses claimed that the defendants
had plant" in the twin cities. There
was not sufficient evidence on which

Although there has been an organi-

stances considered, with the showing
of most other countries. The number
of those who have not studied in uni
versities but have been graduated
from high schools has, on the other
hand, increased from IA per cent in
the former to 81 per cent in the pres
ent douma. There are, then, 40 per
cent with less than high school edu-
cation.
We may justly regard the douma,
then, as representing the better ele-
ments of the Russian nation. 1t aver

err than the nation itself. Its youth
fulness, too, is to be commended
rather than regretted, since the STAN
dard of information and fruitful OBJ
servation is higher among the young
than the old. The president of the
douma himself, Mr.. Golovin, is not
yet forty years old, though even thus
he is little older than the emperor
The common rule, that people mature
much later in northern than in south
ern climes, does not hold good in
Russia, where the large tincture of
Asiatic blood and temperament in
duces maturity at an early age. In
the two respects which We have con-
sidered, therefore, the doumas COM
position and character may be regard
ed with much confidence as auspi-
cious of both energy and discretion.
