MICH INTEREST
IN PROPOSED MERGER

Much interest is conferred in tn.
lght over the proposed Calumet 4
decla merger, and developments are
being watched with keen interest
throughout, the country, as the sue
less or failure of the pdan to merge
IN one corporation three-fifths of the
productive capacity of the Lake Su-
perior copper field will have a mos,
important bearing upon further de-
Velopments in the American copper
industry as a whole. Apparently the
leaders in the fight that is being
made against the merger in the
name of the Osceola, are finding it
difficult to secure contributions for
necessary expenses, history thus re-
peating itself. The average share
holder is willing to devote much time
and talk to the wrongfulness of fl
nancial plans that do not meet with
MS approval, yet is decidedly apt to
emulate the secretive clam when call
ed upon to go down into his own
pocket fer financing a fight in his be-
half.
1t is as yet too early to predict the
outcome of teh proposed merger, but
the Calumet & Hecla officials have
been yigilant and active, aud have
managed to convince, silence or bot
tie up the opposition at great many
different points. By far the mos,
serious fight that is being made
against the proposed merger is com
ing from Thos. L. Chadbourne, for
many years general counsel of the
Calumet & Hecla, who, as the owner
OF 800 shares of Ahmeek, not only
protests vigorously against the pro-
posed merger, but also has outlined
q plan of campaign, including the
passage of law at Lansing, similar
to statutes now in effect in / Oother
states, that will permit owners OF
stock in properties proposed to be
merged to call for a court appraisal,
and secure payment in cash for such
stock, rather than to take new stock
in a merger company.

EARLY DAYS IN DAKOTA.

l.. E. Cavalier, in Minneapolis
Journal: In strong contrast with the
intelligent lawmaking members of the
present South Dakota legislature the
very early resident of the then ter
ritory of Dakota recalls the session
of 1869. There were a few gooC
men who at that time were taking
their first lessons in politics, anC
who later became prominent in the
affairs of the state. But few of these
are alive today.
There were SO few men in the ter.
ritory at that time that the charac
ter of the man was often overlooked
in making up the ticket, which for
many years was done at Yankton.
Among the members of this mem.
oraDle session We're John L. Jolley
later member of congress, and Gid
con c. Moody, later a United States
senator. M. M. Somers, one of the
toughest characters who ever lived il
the northwest, was also a member
Of the lower branch of the legislature
At that time the whole settlement,
Of Dakota was embraced almost ex-
clusively in the five counties o.
Union, Iankton, Clay, Lincoln, anc
Bon Homme. During this perioc
many legislative members were
"squaw men, and half-breed ranch.

MODEST JUDGE
VIOLATES TRADITION.

Washington. March Edward
douglass White, the new Chief JUS
tee of the United States, is ona OF
the most modest of public officials.
This lack of ACKNOWLEDGMENT IL
strikeingly illustrated in an innova-
| ton in the procedure of the highest
court, decreed by the new Chief Jus
tice
Since time immemorial, it has
been the rule for the bailiff of the
Court to announce, impressively.
when the nine members OF the tribu-
nal filed into the room: THE Hon
orable, the Chief Justice. and the as
sociate justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States.''
When Chief Justice Fuller died,
and associate Justice John M. Har-
Ian, as senior judge, acted as presid-
ing member of the Bench, the bailiff
was instructed to make this saluta-
ton: The honorable, the Supreme
Court of the United States" since at
that time there was no Chief Justice
AS soon as White was chosen pre-
siding justice, Court attaches called
his attention to the FACT that he
should order the bailiff to resume
the time-honored formula of intro
ducing the audience to The Chief
Justice and the associate justices of
the Supreme Court" The new head
CT the Court refused. He is reported
to have stated that he liked the sim
r'er statement, and didn't care 20
have it changed to call attention i,
himself.
And so it happens that the bailiff
violates the tradition by his daily
announcement-and precedent and
tradition are awful things to violate
at the Supreme Court. Modernity
hasn't yet succeeded in dispelling the
ancient traditionary habit of having
quill pens a part of the furnishings
Of the court chamber, although
there is a concession in the shape OF
a few small steel pens and penhold-
ers for real use.

WOMEN WIN.

The operation of woman suffrage
nas been critically inspected of late.
oeattle's experience has been that the
extension Of the Franchise to women
mas been altogether beneficial; the
test there was severe. There have
oeen conflicting statements regard
ing the situation in Colorado, where
the exercise of the franchise by wo-
men has been of longer duration; the
opponents of suffrage have asserted
there that the situation is not credit
able to women who vote; but the tes-
timony Of Judge Ben Lindsey is to
The contrary. At Albany, n. Y. re-
Gently. Judge Lindsey In public adj
dress touched upon an article lately
printed in which an effort was made
to show that politics is more cor
i rupt in the suffrage states than was
formerly the case. He pronounced
all such statements without warrant
in truth. 1.-THE recital of things
which have been done or have not
been done in the suffrage states"
said he, very pointedly, "and the adj
Vancement OF the theory that as wo-
men have not passed certain laws,
they should be disfranchised, might
also be applied to the states where
men alone vote.
The testimony of Judge Lindsey in
general, and the testimony of former
Governor Thomas of Colorado at a
meeting in New York on the same
date, confirm the editorial declara-
| tons of the Denver newspaper pre-
viously quoted with regard to the
manner in which women have risen
to their new responsibilities. One
other passage in Judge Lindsey's adj
dress is worthy of repetition: cam
other statement has been made" he
said, "to the effect that the women
OF Colorado have not dared to get
| through the legislature bills regard
ing child labor. Last year had sew

and others I distributed among four
senator's. The woman got the three
bills passed but the senators could
not even get theirs out of the COM
| mittee."
1t is not denied that in Colorado
or other Of the suffrage states there
is still much room for improvement
IN politics and in the conduct of piiD-
Tic business. Women have a great
deal to learn. But this is so palpa-
oily the case in states where men only
are permitted to vote and to. hold
office that criticism of the suffrage.

STRAY TOPICS FROM

New York, March 9.--The Board
of City Record Of New York City has
won considerable distinction by go

York Stock Exchange. Considering
the enormous wealth and power
which the New York Stock Exchange
represents, it is narrower in its ar

exchange in the world and resorts to
more petty grating than any re-
spectacle institution of a similar ma

indulge in. One of the most out
rageous of the arbitrary rules of the

that are not SO listed are excluded
from "legitimate' trading on prac-

the interest OF the clerks as a whole.
2. To bring about better work
ing conditions; sanitary and soundly
constructed cars, and when train

was announced there the other day
by James Manahan, the attorney Sc
cured by the Brotherhood to repre-
sent them at Washington, in an eff
tort to secure a proper adjustment of
present difficulties, that in his opin-
ion the chances were excellent for the
reinstatement of the five men sus-
pended and then dismissed from
the service of the Tracey-Pierre line.
because of their activity in the trou-
BILE on that line, which has not yet
been satisfactorily settled to an ex-
tent that would permit of normal

Democrats Sec Trouble.

Confronted with the difficulty OF
initiating any revision of the tariff
which may be attempted following
action upon the Canadian reciprocity
agreement the democratic leaders
are already giving thought to the
dilemma. They realize that if the
tariff legislation should be passed
by the house which would provide
insufficient revenues, the senate
would probably 1t once amend it.
In the event of the supremacy Of
the house in conference, which is
not improbable, in view of the fact
that the senate will be barely repub-
lican and a portion Of its majority
comprised of insurgents who may
act with the democrats, it is not
doubted that President Taft would
use the veto. In fact he has strong
ly intimated as much.
Many persons think, however, that
few actual tariff charges will result
from the extraordinary session.

Hardin, March 9.-The combina-
ton of plague and famine has
wrought devastation throughout
Manchuria and northern China of a
scope that is almost impossible to
believe. Victims of the famine and
plague to the number of over rs 900
have died, and food is now so scarce
that even stray dogs have been eaten
by the destitute natives of over a
dozen towns. Missionaries and gov
eminent officers alike in the inter
Tor towns along the Non, Mulan and
Chol rivers, etc, cannot escape the
pangs of gripping hunger. Some of
the towns are entirely desolated
owing to the rayages of famine and
plague. The photos here shown re-
veal something of the nature of the
distressing conditions. Chinese
railway officials have done much to

distribution of clothes to the stricken
ones in towns where there are rail-
way stations. But the worst state OF
