The Whip In the Boot.

In some parts of Siberia a bride
groom on arriving home commands his
wife to take off his boots. In one is Il
whip and in the other Il purse. The
contents Of the boot she first selects

very kind husband will put a purse in

CHIEF CLERkSnIP
Resigns Position With Secretary
of State to Further Can
didacy.

Albert N. Void, for the past year
and a half chief clerk in the office OF
the secretary of state, has resigned
his position in order actively to prose
cute his candidacy for the chief clerk,
ship of the house of representatives
w. G. Poole, 'Minot, who has been Mr.
Wold's assistant for the past year
will, it is understood, become chief
clerk in the office of secretary OF
state. Following the close of the leg
islative session, Mr.. Void will prac'
tice law, having been offered splendid
openings both in the eastern and west
ern ends of the state.
His many friends are already con-
vinced that Mr.. Void will be success
full in his candidacy for the chief clerk
ship of the house. His excellent rec
ord of two years ago, when he acted
as assistant chief clerk of the House,
makes him a very strong candidate at
the present time. The position is one
that requires an experienced man.

TEST IS
ADOPTED
IMMIGRATION BILL CON-
TANNING IITERACY TEST
RESTRICTION PASSED BY
THE SENATE.
GETS VERY LARGE MAJORITY

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2.-The inn
migration bill, containing the restric-
tive literacy test for the admission Of
aliens, which has been the obstacle in
the way of immigration reform legis-
lation for the greater part of two ma
tional administrations, passed the SEN
ate late today, by vote of so to 7.
This overwhelming majority was
recorded despite the fact that Presi
dent Wilson had indicated that he
would veto the measure, as did Presi-
dent Taft, if it should come to him
with the educational test included.
The vote of the senate indicated
that the bill could be repassed by
over the required two thirds majority
should the president reject the meas.
ure.
Among the senators who voted
against the bill was included McCum-
ber. The bill passed the house Feb
uary 4th, last, by a vote of two hun
dred and forty to one hundred and 26.
Literacy Clause Uraltered.
Although the senate amended the
house bill in several particulars, the
literacy test was unaltered save for
additional exemption to Belgian sub
iects, which was adopted today after a
prolonged debate House leaders will
probably ask for a conference on the
senate amendments which will be ac-
cepted and the bill will be sent to the
president by the middle of next week.
Among the, senate amendments
which the house leaders said will pro-
baby be accepted is one to exclude
from the United States all persons OF
the African race and of negro blood.
Another strengthens the phraseology
of polygamists.
In the closing hours the debate was
devoted to an amendment by Lodge
to exempt Belgian farmers from the
literacy test and from the provisions
which prohibit Americans from solicit
ing and inducing immigration. Sena-
tor Root concluded the debate by de-
claring that the amendment will not
violate treaty obligations to other
countries and in an eloquent plea for
the amendment pictured the Belgians
as people without a country and
without protecting government, who
need an asylum. The amendment was
adopted.

SpeakePship , Fight In
Process Of Elimination
John ThOrneMay,
Not Qualify As
State Legislator

Dickey county may be short one
representative in the legislature
because of the fact that one of
her members is unable financially
to bear the expense of attending
the session, according to reports
received here today. It is said
that John Thorne, farmer and
member Of the house from Dickey
county, claims that he cannot af-
ford to come to the session. Mr..
Thorne is a farmer residing near
Monango.
Governor Hanna has not received
any notice from the auditor of Dickey
county relative to any vacancy in
the legislative seats. AS soon as he
does, he must issue a writ of elec-
ton.
Friends of Thorne here last eve.
ming were unable to confirm the re-
port, but several in touch with the
situation say that Thorne will not
qualify.
Several legislators have died, but
this is the first time in the memory Of
the pioneers that one has failed to
qualify when elected.

DEVELOPMENTS in
GENERAL SHIPPING
SITUATION ENSOE

Washington, Jan. 2.-While no word
came today from Ambassador Page
regarding the character of the reply
which Great Britain will make to the
American note of protest concerning
the interference with American trade,
there are several developments in the
general shipping situation.
The United States asked Great Brit
ain for information as to how the
latter's statement, made in early No
vember, that naval stores. including
rosin, camphOr and turpentine would
be regarded as nOl-cOntraband can be
reconciled in actual practice with the
notification from the British foreign
office a week ago, saying that these
products are now absolutely contra
band.
The Italian ambassador informed
the state department that while sta
tistics make it appear that the extra.
ordinary amounts of copper shipped
from the United States to Italy might
be for un-eutral purposes, the fact
of the matter was that as Germany
needed her own copper, Italy could no
longer import from countries immedl-
ately to the north Of her, but must
seek the metal in American markets.
Much qualification was manifested
by the state department because of the
release by Great Britain Of the Ameri-
can oil tank steamers Tiflis and Mar
raga1sett and the freighter George II.
Hawley, which have been held at Fal'
mouth since November 30.

Ottoman Troops Active. ..
Petrograd, Jan. 2.-Ottoman troops
are showing renewed activity in the
Caucasus, the Turks having crossed
the Russian frontier at three points.
On December 21 two Turkish columns
were directed toward Ardagan, 100
miles east of the frontier. One force
went through Ardanuch and the other
from Olti Pass, 80 miles further south.
A third crossed the frontier at Twin
and took village on the upper Sari-
kamysh. Their position there being
under constant artillery fire. both
forces frequently resorted to bay0net
charges. The village is burning. On
December 20 the Turks occupied the
village Of Bogdata, s miles southwest
of Arbagan, and the battle continues
near there.
In an orange book issued by the
Russian minister of foreign affairs,
it is charged that the importance or
the Ottoman empire vanished deH-
nitely from the moment the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau took re.
fuge in the Dardanelles and that Ger
man ships under German command
made an attack on peaceful shores OF
an empire which is maintaining per.

1t takes more than one swallow to
make summer, just as it takes
more than one candidate to make a
speakership's fight.
There were eight candidates with
rods hoisted into the apient air last
evening. Each member had moist.
ened finger aloft to see which way the
wind was blowing.
The members were arriving on
every train yesterday and steering
committees were kept busy getting a
line on sentiment. New members as
we'll as old were reluctant to commit
themselves until they had sized up
the candidates and looked up the vari-
QUE alignment.
Not enough members had arrived in
Bismarck last evening 10 determine
the contest but BY this evening lines
will be drawn more tightly so that
when the Republicans 80 into caucus
tomorrow morning at 10 A. M. a num-
Der of the present candidates will be
eliminated.
There is an absence of bitterness in
this speakership fight, although ten
dency was shown at the opening to
indulge in mud-slinging. Those who
were so short-sighted as to adopt this
policy realized that they were making
little headway and making medicine"
seems to have been dropped as a weap-
on. ..-. ..
The following members have an
nounced, their candidates. either OPEN
ly or tentatively: A. M. Thompson,
Minot; Treadwell Twichell, Mapleton;
E. A. Williams, Bismarck A. G. Divet,
Wahpeton; w. J. Burnett, Lansford;
"A. P. Hanson, Litchvine, and Staale
Hendrickson, Coteau.
It was conceded last evening that
the race lay between Twitchell and
Thompson with Ha1lson as still fac
tor in the race, with his strength not
to be underestimated. Mr.. Thompson
is conducting vigorous, clean cam
paign, and Is making strong appeal
not only to the slope country but to
the valley as WE'LL T
There is considerable speculation
now as to how many names will be
presented to the caucus. Some are
inclined to think that Thompson's and
Twichell's will be the only names pre-
sented to the caucus, but friends of
Divet, Hanson and others maintain
that their names will be balloted upon
too.
The fact that Twichell has had the
honor before initiates somewhat
against him and in favor of the other
candidates. Still his friends are seiz.
ing upon this and urging it as one of
the reasons he should be elevated
again to that position. They claim
his former experience makes him that
much more competent. Other candi-
dates in the field, however declare
they would rather stand aside for one
who has not had the honor.

that it be much further advanced be-

the status of the Colombian and Mic

that the measure has good chance of

Berlin, Jan. 2.-The total number OF
prisoners of war held in Germany at
the end of the year amounts to S,l3S
officers and 577,S75 men.
This is shown in summary issued
from headquarters today, which points
out that the list does not include civil

prisoners taken during the pursuit in
Russian Poland, or those in transport.
OF the above total the French con-
tribute 3,459 officers, including seven
generals, and 2l5,9O5 men; the Rus

that the report that LAO German Of

Get the Habit of
Success, and Win

Don't underestimate yourself;
that's a fault Of some men who
haven't, succeeded. After all, you
are not very much different from
the general run of men the world
over. There's not any tangible
difference between many men who
make good and many who don't.
Right down at the foundation you
will find them, simply men.
This thing OF getting up in the
world is largely a matter of habit,
and of systematic ways of going
about it. Once you get into the
habit of succeeding in some rea-
sonable and useful way for which
you're adapted you're pretty apt to
keep on succeeding as long as you
live. Once you get into the habit
Of failing you keep on failing. But
if you analyze those two habits,
success and failure, you will see
that the difference does not lie so
much in the men as in the meth
DDS and choice Of vocations.
