A cablegram from Shanghai con-
veys the information that there is a
serious possibility of a declaration of
war by China against Russia. 1t
appears that once upon a time
Russia, by INSCRIPTIONS methods,
grabbed outer Mongolia, a territory
One-third the size of Europe, and
now China proposes to grab it back
again. China was weak when Russia
stole the territory, and could offer
but little resistance, but now she
believes she is sufficiently strong to
recover it. Our sympathy is with
the pig tails and, should they at
tempt to drive Russia from outer
Mongolia, we hope they will be as
successful as were the rusty little
Japs in their fight against the tai
low eaters.

An informer's evidence should not

q liar as well as a coward. This from
the editorial column of the conserva-
tive Minneapolis Tribune is timely
and appropriate:
sWe will all do well to keep our
heads about the trial in Indianapolis.
The unsupported testimony of the
McNamaras and McManigal is not
enough to convict anybody. They
are, by their evidence, Of the Grim
inal type.
s'To believe that they acted for
the body of American workmen en-
listed in the ranks of union labor is
to believe that a representative and
powerful branch of American man
hood is tainted. To believe that the
officers of these workmen were per-
mitted to conspire with these wit

hitting outrages is to believe either
that the rolls of American labor are

A ROUSl |: MAJORITY |
Total Vote Of state::34o,6 78-InsFavor
Of the Good Roads Amendment
1o5,774 Majority 7o.sss.
Amendment Failed to Carry In Benton,
Cottonwood, Hennepin, Norman,
Red Lake and WiIkin.

Annexed hereto is tabulated
statement of the vote on the good
roads amendment by counties. The
first column shows the total vote cast
in each county, the second column
the vote in favor of the amend
ment. the third. column the vote
against the amendment, and the
fourth column the percentage of
voters in each county who favored the
amendment. To Koochiching coun-
ty belongs the honor of having the
highest percentage in favor of the
amendment, 9l.40.
The total vote of the state was
349, 678; to adopt a constitutional
amendment a majority of all the
votes cast (174, 84O) was necessary.
There were 1876, 724 votes recorded
in favor of the good roads amend.
ment, a majority Of 20,885. There
were 81, 1877 votes against the amend
ment.
That the good roads revival is
statewide is evidenced by the re-
turns. With the exception of Cot.
tonwood every southern Minnesota
county goes on record in favor of the
amendment. In justice to Henne-
pin county it should be said that the
congestion at the polling booths in
Minneapolis, on account of lack of a
sufficient number of voting machines,
is responsible for the small vote in
favor of the amendment in that
county. Those who voted on the
proposition in Hennepin county were
largely in favor of the amendment,
but the trouble was that the major
ity failed to vote the pink ballot for
the reason above stated.
Ramsey county covered itself with
glory. The vote of that county was
a big factor. St. Louis county did
nobly. That county will pay p per
cent of the entire one-mill tax and
cannot possibly receive more than 3
per cent, yet ST. Louis gave good
majority for the amendment.
The one-mill tax amendment will
rebound to the advantage of the
smaller counties of the state, as
every dollar that the tax will, pro-
duce will be expended on rural high
ways, and yet had it not been for
the large centers of wealth and popu-
lation the amendment would have
been defeated. Under the circum-
stances the apathy of the voters of
the rural counties-the real bene-
ticiaries of the measure-is surpris-
ing.
In Mile Laos county only 69.57
per cent of the voters favored the
amendment, while in Princeton,
where almost one-fifth of the total
vote OF the county was cast, the per-
ce ntage in favor Of it was 81. "A.

the figures for the table, and it is
