The English advocates of woman's
suffrage have made their demands a
real political issue. A resolution in
their favor was recently adopted by
the convention of English Liberals.
Their bill was read a first time in the
house, practically without opposition,
though it will go no further. Press
dispatches tell of a really worried
London police, assert that the cabinet
ministers never know what will hap
pen to them next, and aver that Mr.
Asquith never leaves home save in
the company of two detectives. Even
he has capitulated to the extent of re-
ceiving a deputation of the National
Union of Women's Suffrage Societies
and admitted that their case was pre-
sented with unusual precision ald
responsiveness.

Defective designing was the cause
of the collapse Of the cantilever bridge
across the st. Lawrence river at Que
bee several months ago, according to
the report of the royal commission ap-
pointed to make an investigation. The
designer used the standard formulas
in computing the strains, but in the
opinion of the commission he should
have modified them, as the bridge was
larger thaG any that had hitherto been
attempted on the cantilever principle.
1t is easy to say this now, for all en-
gineers know more about the subject
than before the falling bridge demon
strated that the old formulas were
incorrect. But it is important to flu
ture bridge-builders, as we'll as to the
public, that an adequate explanation
of the Quebec accident has been
found

Entered at the post Office at Ely, Mime
sofa as second class matter.

A FELLOW named Hitte at Evel
eth, an associate and chum of John
Movern, and one of the chosen few
of the graft ring in the Western
Federation, was taken in tow by
the Chief of Police last week for
having his pockets too full. He
was carrying long Colts gun and
several rounds of ammunition and
was on his way to attend a meeting
of the faithful to be addressed by
Mahoney, of Denver. He was fin
ed 500 by the Judge at Eve1eth.
While we are on the subject, itmay
be well to remark that as the whole
bunch are suspicious characters and
are liable to do something at any
time, it might be well for the police
officers to kind of keep their eyes
on the pockets of the various pres
idents" and secretaries" in the
range towns. AS affairs are not
appearing so very prosperous for
this bunch at the present time their
swellings can be plainly noticed and
some of these growths may be dy-
namitic or caused by miniature can
mons. Should conditions continue
as at present for the bunch, their
pockets with the guns and their
head will be about all that will be
noticeable in the swelling line.
Their stomachs will be as flat as a
board.

A. E. PFREMMER, of Hibbing,
has announced himself as a candi-
date for Probate Judge and will
make the fur fly from now until the
primaries. Judge Middlecoff, as
usual, is an avowed candidate and
is also doing some heavy rustling
during the few minutes he spends
at home between his trips to the
east and west on important land
cases"-for Judge Midd1ecof.
Since Pfremmer hasshown hishand,
Judge Martin, of Virginia, has de-
cided to try for the place. The
Judge made an attempt two years
ago for the nomination, a fact
which any newspaper man on the
ranges can verify by looking at his
books. Some are of the opinion
that the Judge Martin candidacy is
shrewd move on the part of Judge
Middlecoff to down Pfremmer who
has shown the strength.

'lIhe Gates of Life"

By Bran Stoker. author OF ssDraculav etc
Published by Cupples & Leon Co., New
York.
The hero of "The Gates of Life, has
a rough time of it--quite in the good
old fashioned melodramatic way He is
a model of all the virtues, but is not
appreciated or understood until he
goes away to Alaska and leaves the
girl behind. Alaska is the "farthest"
place to send hero if the story is laid
in England-if in America he is usually
sent to South Africa and of course he
wins a colossal fortune because all
other forms of good fortune have de-
serted him and he doesn't care snap
for his fortune because he can't have
her to share it with him. The same
old patter, but why should Bran Stoker
do it? He has proved himself the pos
SCISSOR of a most unusual imaginative
faculty by that tremendously interest
ing, even If improbable, "Dracula," but
when he turns out cheap melodrama
like this thing he deserves severe criti-
cism.
All sorts of unnecessary characters
are dragged into the story and the
situations are strained and unnatural.
The heroine Stephen Norman is named
so because for generations the heir of
Normanstand had been named Stephen
and her mother died when she was
born, so she was the only child. She
is q beautiful girl with rather unusual
and advanced ideas about women. but
sweet and amiable and not in the least

"Detty Of The ReCloY'

BY Mrs l.. T. Meade. Published by Grosset
& Dunlap New York. Price ST.
The very young and uncritical person
will read this latest novel by Mrs. l.. T.
Meade with much pleasure, but arrived
at years of discretion she will drop 1t
before she has read half dozen chap
ters.
Betty is too good to be real Only q
heavenly angel could have such dis
position She marries clergyman who
becomes drug fiend for fear he is go
ing insane. 1t appears that his mother
tells him that for five or>s six genera
tions the male members of her family
have died young of an obscure brain
disease. After narrowing time 1t is
discovered that the woman he calls his
mother is not his mother at all, but his
stepmother and that she has always
disliked Betty and hoped to prevent her
stepson's marriage to Betty by telling
him about the insanity in the family.
The author knows precious little
about the drug habit. for she cures her
hero almost on the spot when he learns
the truth about himself. One tires of
the drivel all through the book, and the
style is so unconvincing that one
laughs at the parts intended to be most
touching. 1t is a poor thing reminis-
cent of e. d. e. N. Southworth, but not
half as we'll done.

"Sour Sonnets of a SOrehsad"

Caldwell company. Boston and New York.
James P. Haverson, the author of
Sour Sonnets of Sorehead and Other
Songs of the Street" dedicates his little
book ito ewspapermen-by one of
them
The sonnets are not inappropriately
named; they are sour and in style are
powerfully reminiscent of Wallace Ir-
wins slang sonnets. and like most imi-
tations are not as good as the original
and suffer because of the comparison.
The first sonnet in the book. by far
the best of the whole collection, is
quoted below:
Don't talk TO me of bein' down an out
Nor tell how high you've been up In the air.
Ferget it! This is kidding the square
You've never been further up the spout
Ner deeper down, ner any further out,
But what there's further still-an' I've beer

Perhaps you think you're pretty full OF care

All cleared away before I'd happen foun'

You bet your life 'twould rain brick on re.
