LUTHER LEAVES CONFERENCE.
Luther College Sewers Connections
With Iowa Conference; Will Con-
fine Itself to Minnesota and
Dakota Institutions.

Luther college will hereafter con
fine herself to athletic relations with
Minnesota and Dakota institutions
and will sever connections with the
Iowa conference This course was
made possible as a result of the &C
ton of the fourth annual meeting of
the Minnesota-Dakota intercollegiate
conference held in st. Paul, at which
Luther College was admitted to men,
bership in the association.
The change in athletic relations was
decided upon at a meeting of the Lu-
Their college faculty held shortly be-
fore the closing of school for the hol-
idays. Prof. A. NJ. Rovelstad and
Prof. C. S. Ylvisaker were elected as
representatives to the ST. Paul meet
ing with instructions to seek admis-
sion to the conference
Although Luther college has been
a member of the Iowa intercollegiate
Athletic conference, she has by rea-
son of tradition, geographical loca-
ton and other circumstances, had
few Iowa colleges on her schedules.
Most of her games have been played
with institutions in Minnesota. This
fact made it desirable that Luther
college be admitted to the conference
of Minnesota and Dakota colleges.

THE WILSON CABINET.
Six of the Ten Members of the New
Cabinet Regarded With Ger
tainty as Having Been
Selected.

President-elect Woodrow Wilson
has been able to keep even the wis
est guessing as to his choice for the
various heads of the departments
represented by his cabinet up to this
time, but now it is regarded as prac-
tically certain that he has decided
upon six of the cabinet members. 1t
is generally agreed that they are as
follows, according to the Chicago
.iribunes Washington Bureau;
William Jennings Bryan OF Nebras-
ka, Secretary of State.
William McAdoo of New York
Secretary of War.
A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvan-
ia, Attorney General.
Louis Brandies of Massachusetts,
Secretary of Commerce.
Josephus Daniels of North Caro-
lima, Postmaster General
Albert S. Burleson of Texas, Sec
rotary of Agriculture.
There are four other cabinet po-
sitions concerning which political
leaders decline to speculate They
are the secretaries of the Interior,
Navy, Treasury, and the new Labor
department. In Iowa we are specu-
lating upon Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan
of Des Moines getting the Interior
department, and hope that he will
be the choice of Mr.. Wilson. No cit
izen is more capable or more deserv-
ing.

Petition Insufficient.

The canvass of the liquor petition
was completed by the Board of SUI
pervisors last week and their decis-
ion was that it was insufficient. Du-
plicate and defective signatures to
the number of 65 were found, and as
a majority of only 81 names were fill
ed by the vets, the deduction of
the 65 names left the petition four
short of the requisite majority with
out even counting the Withdrawals
These were canvassed, however, and
out of 1873 filed, the Board found lab
of them legal. Strange to say, some
names were found among the with
drawals of persons who had neither
voted nor signed the petition, and
consequently were of no account.

sert that an appeal will be made
from the Boards decision which will
take the matter into court. They

Suspends After 1900 Years.

The president of the Chinese Re-
public, Yuan Shi Kai, recently sup
pressed the newspaper King Bao,
which was undoubtedly the oldest pa
per in the world. For 1900 years it
has reported the more important
news items, not only of China, but al
so of foreign countries. The first edi-
ton was printed on ten sheets of yell
low silk neatly tied together, and was
sent to all the high officials of the
Chinese Empire. Since 400 A. d.
that paper has been issued regularly
until it was suppressed by the gov
eminent. Many think that printing
was discovered in Europe in the four
teenth century, calling into use at
first letters cut out of the bark of a
tree and taking impressions from
them. AS late as the second half of
the fourteenth century every book in
Europe used for school or church, ev-
cry public document, every letter,
was written out by hand, and the il
Illustrations of the same were made by
hand. Wood letters were used for
printing in Europe on silk cloth and
vellum nearly two hundred years be-
fore they were used for printing pa
per. In the year 175 the text of the
Chinese classics was cut upon tablets
which were placarded outside the uni
versity, and impressions were taken
from them. The newspaper King Bao
founded in the year 400 of the Chris
tian era, is the natural product of the
art of printing in that day. 1t is pre-
sumed that the president of the re-
public suppressed this paper because
it was unfriendly to democracy, or to
the present administration of the
government.-The Christian Herald.

Last Tuesday night about mid
night the home of Julian Holkesvik,
of Locust, was discovered on fire. Mr..
Holkesyik, his wife and her father,
DR.. A. c. Smith, were in the house,
and they had time only to escape
scantily clothed, the building being
burned to the ground, with practical
ly all of it's contents. The cause of
the fire is unknown, but started in
some manner in the cellar. 1t was a
new farm home, built two years ago,
and was modern in every way, being
one of the finest in that part of the
county.

Reasons Assigned
The item o. $50 90 suggested b. the

be appointed without an examination.
The Post Office Department figures that
there are 81 JU0 such positions. and that
1900 applicants Will appear for the

THOSE democrats who are fighting Hon. Thomas F. Weedin since his name was mentioned for the office of register of the land office, are en- gagged in slandering one of the men who was at the very birth of the democratic party in Arizona and who has devoted his time and tal- ents to the support of the party for more than a quarter of century, says the Bisbee Review. Tom Weedin is one of the big, brainy men of Arizona; in the past he has many times been honored with of- flee and he has always left credi- table office record. If he is ap- pointed to the land office position it will be an instance of deserved re- ward being conferred on a man who will discharge the duties in man. ner that will be creditable to the democratic party and to those who named him for the position.

Nothing more is needed, and even four legislative sessions or fourteen of like kind could not redeem such an aggrega- tion of high-priced and incompetent individuals. Ninety per cent, of these appointees could not com mand salary of $75 per month in the open markets of this state yet they are the political bosses of our new state. Arizona Democrat.
