 So far as the people of Russia are concerned their political power and opportunity for initiative are no bet ter -fhan before the sham parliament- ary government was erected as a blind for the crimes of the misrule of the czar and his hired, nurd erers
 Three Doumas have assembled since the czar.s 1905 manifesto of freedom, , and not a. single one of the reforms promised in the manifesto has yet been made Men are still arrested and inn prisoned or Aexiled without judicial process, and there is no free press, free speech, or freedom of assembly.
 In Russia the trouble is not that the cZar is uninformed of the existing state of affairs. He knows of the ter rible conditions existing and is edu- cated in the affairs of the world to an extent great enough to realize what crimes against humanity are being committed in his name.-Exchange

The Joke Was On John.

when John Allen was running for
congress a number of years ago he
feared he would not be reelected,
and he called in to help him his old
friend. John Sharp Williams, said
former Representative Joe Sibley, or
PENNSYLVANIA, at the Willard recent
ly to a gallery of newspaper men.
The two mapped out plan OF
campaign, and they stumped the dis
trict together for a couple of weeks
when Allen was called to another
part of the district, leaving Williams
to go on and fill his engagements.
John Sharp always loved to play tricks
on his friends. He had been with AL
len on so many of his campaigns that
he knew pretty much all of the lat
ter's good stories, end so when Will
liams hauled up at small place
where Allen was popular he determin-
ed to have some fun with his friend.
He began by telling what a great man
Allen was, and then he told his audi
ence every good story Allen had been
telling The Allen constituency lis
tened and laughed. and dismissed Will
liams with a great send-off.
"A week later Allen visited the
same neighborhood, and once more
the crowd was big. He began by
thanking the citizens for their atten-
dance, and then launched in on some
of his stories. He told one, two, three.
There was not a ripple visible, not a
smile to breal: the solemnity Of the
occasion. Allen was dumbfounded.
He looked around the audience, but in
return got nothing but the CLASSY
stare. He imagined that he was ad-
dressing a convention Of undertakers.
Evidently he had lost his grip entire
ly.
After the meeting adjourned, AL
len called one of the men aside and
inquired:
Haven't l got a single friend in
this section of the state? Here l have
talked for an hour and half, told
the very pick of my stories, and did
not so Il uch as evoke a smile from a
single one.
"'You are all right personally
responded the fellow. The next
time you come here to speak, how
ever, don't repeat the same speech
that was delivered by Mr.. Williams
over a week ago.''-Exchange.

to categorical reply was completely
exploded by the gentleman who pro-
