yet something has vanished. Conf.
dence, credit, belief in values, trust in
the immediate future: that is the ele.
ment which %suspends action.
Wichita is described as the most
typical case. In a few years a boom
had multiplied real estate prices ten
times. One day between ''sun and
SUM- the boom evaporated. The land,
the fine new buildings and the trolley
lines were there. The bank statements
were the same. The per capita circu.
lation and the kind Of money were
unchanged. The next morning the
citizens tried to prove to each other
that nothing had happened. The
forces of growth would work as be-
fore. But something had happened:
the main force of growth in prices had
taken leave.
Our latest national experience will
not be prolonged or sharply distress.
ing. The country is in excellent con-
dition as tt capital and conditions.
The causes, however, are the old
causes which were at work in 1857,
1873 and 1893. We shall soon catch
up, but catch up we must. The in
elastic currency was a cause to the
extent that it made difficult a tiding
over of the crisis. 1t was not the
deepest or most potent u Beliefs
in value had gone beyond the supply
of available capital. They caught
fright and stopped working. The re-
vival Of vigor of faith will O come
from greenbacks, or entirely from an
emergency currency, but chiefly from
the solid good sense and increased
labor OF men. Legislation is not the
refuge. Optimism and rugged effor,
are the life of r~ecuperation. There is
no %obscurity about a "busted boom
and none about the recovery.

Great Northern Reduces force.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., March s.
The Great Northern railway is max.
ing wholesale reductions in its tel
egraph force. Stations r being
closed and the telegraph service is be.
ing done away with as much as pos.
sible. Between Grand Forks and
Devils Lake, the block system has
been put out of commission.
On the branch lines none OF the sta
tions are kept open nights, and nc
changes will probably be made,
About the only men employed at the
branch stations are the agents
Usually his knowledge of t%elegraphS
is limited. One reason given for thu
reduction of the force of operators be-
tween Grand Forks and Devils Lakt
is that the through traffic has fal!et

was finished.

fected, is a matter Of regret and con-
Germ to all good citizens.
There should be no cessation in the
efforts to cause these undesirable citi.
Zens to return to their native land or
seek an abiding place elsewhere. AS
the avowed enemies of organized gov
eminent, and the disciples of a propa-
ganda that advocates murder and
other crimes, anarchists have no right
to residence among the law.abiding
people Of the United States.
1t would appear that the benefits
conferred by American institutions
should have a salutary effect upon
alien anarchists who came here to es-
cape the oppressive conditions that
exist in their native land. But it is
evident that some of them have bad
hearts, az incurable disposition to
make war upon the public authorities
and substitute violence for govern
ment by law. For this dangerous
class Of immigrants, the remedy Of
deportation cannot be applied any too
soon.
The suppression Of this auarchistic
evil should be assisted by public zen.
timent in every way possible. Law.
lessness in every form should be dis.
c%ouraged, and a resort to violence as
a remedy for real or imaginary wrongs
be condemned. If an alien immigrant
is too deficient in intelligence to APP
preciate the advantages he may enjoy
in his adopted country, his mental
condition makes him an undesirable
| citizen whose room is better than his
company.

UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.

1t is announced in a Washington

ing within the law relating to deporta-

1t is unfortunate that such instruc.
tions have been found necessary. The
public officials to whom the order is
directed are supposed to be aware OF
the Importance Of enforcing the Law
relating to alien anarchists and Grim
inals, and should be using every en-
deavor to suppress the evil to which
its provisions apply.
Recent events, however, have dem
onstrated that alien anarchists ar
still maintaining their organiz atoms

BILE presence is made manifest by mu.

AN ELECTION PRIMER
Pertinent Points Hbout Our Election
Machinery For Ne7v Votery and Old
THE VOTER.

Who is entitled to vote in national, state and local electionsi
Any male citizen who has reached the age of twenty-one years.
How about the women2
In the four states Of Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming any
woman who has reached the age of twenty-one years is entitled to vote
on all matters at all elections, her privilege of suffrage being identical
with that Of the men.
Are there no other states in which women may vote7
Very limited woman suffrage prevails in nineteen other states
In Kansas it is restricted to voting on school matters and at elections
for municipal officers. In Montana and Iowa women may vote n the
issuance Of municipal bonds. In Montana, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, Oregon, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Nebraska,
Wisconsin, Washington, Arizona, New Jersey, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Connecticut and Ohio women have school suffrage.
Can Chinese in the United States vote, if naturalized7
An act passed by congress in 1882 expressly prohibits the naturali
cation of Chinese.
By what right do negroes votei
By the right conferred upon them by the fifteenth amendment to
the national constitution, which reads, "The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition
