brought the information that 1.-THE NorOye Vrem-
va Of st. Petersburg, a newspaper wetknoWn to
be practically the mouthpiece of the Cars inner
councils, has declared boldly against paving at
tention To the German chancellors warlike re-
marks. 1t is quite evident that Russia's official
attitude is thus assuming more and more of an
openly hostile nature. As early as the first of
November, the Novoye Vremya thus expressed
its distrust of Austrian policies:
How do the Austrian politicians look upon the
Balkan question? They refuse to declare their
trality in the They do not conceal the fact thar

Republicans Pass Resolutions

The following is the full text
Of the resolutions adopted at the
county mass meeting Of Repubh.
cans held in Mexico last Monday
We, the Republicans of Au-
drain county, Missouri, in mass
convention assembled. mindful OF
reformation and preservation Of
the present government, dutiful
and observant of the Bill of
Rights and the Constitution, and
with renewed love for the wisdom
Of the fathers who drafted them,
do again declare in favor Of the
preservation Of the three co-ordi-
nate branches Of government, in
dependent each Of the others-a
Republic forever.
1t is with pride that we call to
mind the great work Of President
Taft in demonstrating the
majesty Of the law and that under
our system Of government it is
equally applicable TO the high and
the low, the rich and the poor,
preserving their inalienable rights
and curling transgressors. We
especially commend the presi-
dents administration for the eff
fective enforcement of the Sher-
man Antitrust Law; for the
creation of a bipartisan tariff
board, having for its object the
scientific investigation of tariff
schedules, keeping in view the in
creasing population of the coun-
try, coupled with the protection
OF American Labor, Industry and
Capital in accordance with the
time-honored principles of the Re
publican Party.
We commend the candidacy of
President Taft as earned by the
mertoriOus achievements of his
present administration and his ju
dicial and diplomatic work as
chief executive of the nation, and
we do hereby instruct all dele
gates and alternates to the state
and congressional conventions to
at all times vote and work for the
denomination of President Taft.
We gratefully recognize the
compliment to Missouri in the Sc
lection Of Hon. Charles Nagel as
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
and are proud Of the fact that his
efficiency as a Cabinet Officer has
added strength TO President
Taft S administration.
We a'c further appycviatiye of
the efforts Of congressman Rich
ard Banholdt in all Of hi, en-
beavers looking toward the cessa-
ton Of the horrors Of war and to
secure the reign of universal
peace; and also of the able sup
port Congressman l.. q. Dyer and
Theron CatIin have ut all times
given the administration.
We declare ourselves in, favor
OF Hon. Otto F. Stifel, OF St. |
Louis, Mo-, for national com |
mitteeman, and instruct delegates
to the state convention to vote
and work for his selection.
While this meeting is primarily |
for the purpose Of selecting dele |
gates we find it at all times profit |
able to call to mind the illustrious |
work Of Herbert S. Hadley as at |
torney general, and that he |
brought to the governor chair |
the same ability and energy which |
had characterized his services as
public servant. We especially |
commend him for his efforts to Sc
cure proper legislation in the in
terests of the people of the State, |
and do pledge him our support in
oyerthrowing the unlawful gerry
mander, depriving our party of
its proper representation in the
councils Of the State and Nation.
We especially commend him for
ais selection of Hon. Charles

s choolmaster Elected Governor
Of Michigan By His Pupils

Woodbridge N. Ferris, who be-
comes Michigan's governor Jan.
l, is not a professor-in-politics.
He is just a schoolmaster-in -poli-
tics.
And it is predicted that Michi-
gan will know she's been to
school before the schoolmaster
governor gets through with her,
for the schoolmaster delights in
discipline, decorum and delivery.
AS schoolmaster Ferris
wouldn't stand for tadiness or
hookey-playing. Every pupil had
to be in the school room-and on
time. The very foundationstone
one might say, of his big private
school at Big Rapids is mostly
promptneSs; the rest being a mix
ture of democracy and hard work.
He is the only politician rang
ing at large with a machiYe every
cog of which is some former
pupil.
His is the strangest school in
the country, old men and women,
young boys and girls; some adults
learning their letters; some young
folks learning a business; in 20
years more than $4,000 students
have gone from the Ferris. in
stitute. AND THOSE STUDENTS
ELECTED HIM.
Sehoolmaster Ferris was such
a success teaching the men, and
women and children who came to
him that he decided to enlarge
his class and take in the whole
state. That was after he had
tried to be mayor of his city and
congressman from his district
Twice he ran for governor on a
progressive democratic ticket,
and both times felt the sting of
defeat. The third time turned
him in a winner, along with the
professor-in-politics, w. Wilson.
These lessons he is going to
try hard to teach his state class:
The initiative, referendum and
recall.
Simplified primaries for every
elective office, president included.
That grating doesn't pay and
the CRATER must go.

Y. M. {. A. Places
Ban On All
Ragtime

Tied up i'm a nice little bundle,
securely knotted, "Everybody's
DOM It," "Hitchy-Koo," 1.-The
LIOgolie Loll," "OOzie-Oo Rag"
when / Get You Alone Tonight"
and other kindred ditties of more
or less senSuOus nature, have
been placed on the. front steps of
the Y. NJ. c. A. and booted I'M
tremendously into the street.
And they are to return never
more.
1.-THE Y. M. c. A. was intended
by its founders to be an uplift
to the young man." said Acting
General Secretary J. F. Grieves,
'and l can see nothing particu-
larly uplifting in ragtime.
When a crowd of dozen
young men get together and
crowd about the piano to sing and
dance to such trashy stuff, it is
high time to put stop to the
evil"
Yet Mr.. Grieves admits he
likes ragtime himself, even if his
statement that he wishes the time
to come hastily when all ragtime
shall be cast in the ash heap
of public disfavor, may seem
somewhat contradictory.

That prisoners in the state pris-
ons must be treated as men and
not as beasts.
That party shall cut no ice
when mans fitness for office is
under consideration.
And that woman suffrage is a
good thing for the state and for
the women.
Possibly, by the time the
state has learned we'll those les
sons the schoolmaster may dig
UP some more.
Gov.-elect Ferris is SO, mar
ried to a schoolteacher, and the
father of two grown boys. He is
one of the few remaining politi-
cal lights who can point back
with pride to genuine log cabin
birthplace, and to a youthful oc-
cupation of splitting rails on the
farm.
He will be the first democratic
governor Michigan has had since
1882 and the second since the
republican party was formed in
1854.

quarrel, Miss Birdie Robbins, a
pretty young school teacher, took
poison at the home of a friend
and today is near death.
The girl sought in vain at the
social to become reconciled to
Hawkins, but it is claimed he per-
sistently snubbed her, and the
girl, leaving the dance hall early
went to the home of w. w. Stalk

attempt on her life.

REAL ESTATE

The city of Tacoma may ask
the legislature to start a constitu-

when they condemn land for a
specific purpose if a little corner
is left that is useless by reason
of the condemnation the city can
take the whole thing. Now this
is prohibited.
