Comparatively UndevelOped.
IF such states as Idaho do not
need tariff protection, public build
ings and piece of the pie that is
being handed out for reclamation
and other great projects, then the
functions of congress might just as
well be suspended, SO far as the
great young west is concerned.
Idaho, as a comparatively unde.
veloped state, has much to ask fol
in the way of national legislation
and with one lone member in the
lower house, has mighty little to
give the majority. from which she
demands legislative favors in return
and when favors are granted under
these circumstances it is quite likely
to call forth that characteristic
known as gratitude. If any such
exists, and praise God from whom
all blessings fiow, good old-fash.

Passes by Large Majority.

The premier concluded by appealing to
the representatives Of the nation to vindi
cate Russia's rights. On the division the
government had a large majority.
That this measure should have been
passed by the duma proves that it is in
the hands of the bureaucracy and that
reaction in Russia is triumphant. 1t is
not Finland only that suffers The con-
stitufion OF Finland is taken away from
her against her will and without her con-
sent. The fact that the suppression Of
her liberties is the work of Russian
'duma does not alter the nature Of what
is done. There Is no spiritual difference
between the action of the duma and that
of a military force. That reaction was
sIrreme has for some time been evident,
and the fate Of the bill providing zemst-
vos for the western provinces, that is
the bill for creating in Russian Poland
local governments In which Russians are
to be supreme, was a sufficient proof Of
tic fact Russia, in short, for another
generation is to have the discipline of
arbitrary administration. The process Of
converting Firms and Poles into Russians
seems to the bureaucracy to be analogous
to that of leveling gravel road with a
steam roller. What the result OF the ex-
pertinent will be al .er twenty or thirty
years it IS impossible to fortell.
That the idea is to turn Films into Rus
slams Is proved by the emperor's COM
mand to the president of the diet to re-
ply in Russian as we'll as In Finnish and
Swedish to the proclamation ciosing the
session.

BANDIT SHOWS REMORSE
WEEPS BECAUSE HE MADE
CHILDREN FATHERLESS.

LYNN, Mass, June 27.-Vasili Ivankow-
ski. one of the three highwaymen who
killed Thomas A. Landregan and Police
man James II. Carroll on the crowded
street, here Saturday, showed the first
signs Of sorrow and remorss yesterday.
He is only twenty-one years old and
looks like a mere boy; his face has an
innocent expression, he is of slight build.
In q second confession yesterday he admit
ted that it was one of his shots that killed
Carroll, and that In Russia. his native
country, he was a smuggler and common
thief.
Bandit Shows Remorse.
Sometimes he calls himself Vasili
Ivankowski, sometimes Baccini Wala-
dopski. He stopped at his cell door
yesterday and said to the ofiicer on
guard:

Amy one dead?
When told that both Landregan and
Carroll are dead he said:
Have wife any babies?"
The oflicer nodded yes. the 1vanoWski
expressed sorrow. His last question was:
when they shoot me?"
The desperate boy returned to his bunk
and burying his face in his hands. wept.
Absen May Recover.
Andrew Absen. whom his prsuers shot
four times before he surrendered. 10 still
In a precarious condition in the Lynn
Hospital. The surgeons say he has a
slight chance for recovery. although the
bullet in his brain. which the surgeons
dare not probe for, makes his recovery
doubtful. He slept some Saturday night
and passed a comparatively comfortable
day.
Absen says he met Ivanowski in New
York eight months ago. The police still
think that all three bandits were con-
nected with the Jamaica Plains desper-
ADDE'S, who caused q reign Of terror in
that suburb OF Boston two years ago.
The police belive. too. that .the bandit
who was shot to death Saturday was the
leader Of the gang. His two accomplices
swear they knew the third fellow only ~
"Joe." B. g. Sanford of Salem, N. H.,
who saw Ivanowski yesterday, claimed to
recognize him as member of the
Methuen, N H.. gang who killed two
police o6icers about two years ago.
Mr. Landregan and Ofhcer Carroll will
/ be buried today. Thousands of persons
in ali kinds of vehicles came here yester-
day to gaze at the spot where the murders
were committed: the start of the chase
after the robbers and the $1,000 which
Landregan and Carroll were carrying in
. valise to pay on Landregan's shoe
factory hands.
