Arts Of Peace Founded on War.
Ruskin had little sympathy with the
ideals and aims Of the pacifists. "All
the pure and noble arts Of peace are
founded on war;" he told the members
of the Royal Military academy. Wool
wich. in 1865. mo great art ever yet
rose on earth but among a nation Of
soldiers. There is no art among q
shepherd people II It remains at peace.
There is no art among an agricul-
tural people If it remains at peace.
Commerce is barely consistent with
fine art, but cannot produce it. Manu-,
facture not only is unable to produce
it, but invariably destroys whatever
seeds of it exist. There is no great
art possible to nation but that which
is based on battle"

Death Of Frank James, Former Ban

dit, at Excelsior Springs, Mo.
The death of Frank James at Excel
sior Springs, Mo-, recalls to Minneso-
tans the raid on Mortified Sept. Z,
1876, in which he and hin brother
Jesse headed band of eight outlaws
in an attempt to rob the Mortified
bank. The attempt was one of the
most desperate in the annals of crime
In Minnesota.
The gang rode into the town on
horseback. The brothers entered the
bank while the other six held back
the crowd. Jesse James ordered the
cashier, J. D. Haywood, to give him
the combination of the safe and shot
him dead when he refused.
The citizens, unawed by the bandits
on the steps of the bank, obtained
rifles and attacked the raiders. One
was killed AMI q second wounded and
the others forced to flee. The James
brothers separated from their CON-
pan1ons who were surrounded in a
forest swamp. One was killed in the
gun battle that followed.
Bob, Cole and James Younger were
among those captured and were later
sentenced to life Imprisonment at Still
water.
Another posse pursued Frank and
Jesse James, every crossroad being
watched. It seemed that the men
could not escape. Both were serious
ly wounded in their flight, but man
aged to reach Kansas City where they
lay in hiding. Later they fed to Texas.

ABOUT THE STATE
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
MICHAEL DORIAN IS DEAD
Former Leader Of State Democratic
Organization Expires at St. Paul
at Age Of Eighty.seven.

Michael Doran, eighty-seven years
OF age, power in Democratic state
politics for many years, is dead at St.
Paul of fnfirmities due to his ad.
vanced age.
Mr.. Doran was born in Ireland,
coming to America when nineteen
years of age. He reached Minnesota
in 1857, taking a homestead near LIE
Sueur. Mr.. Doran entered politics in
LIE Seuer county, being elected county
treasurer three years after he took up
a homestead. In 1864 he was a dele.
gate to the national Democratic con-
vention, position that he held until
1896. In 1870 he was elected a men,
Der orthe Minnesota senate, failing of
reelection in 1872. He won his sen.
ate seat again in 1875, serving four
more years. His last two terms in
the upper house were from 1883 to
1885. Then he ceased finally to rep
resent the Nineteenth district.
About this time he began the man
agement of the affairs of the Demo
cratic party in the whole state. In the
first administration of Cleveland the
firm of me and Mike" P. H. Kelly,
the wholesale grocer, and Mr. Doran,
came into existence. Old politicians
assert that from 1885 to 1889 and from
1898 to 1897 Doran and Kelly handled
the patronage of the state. 1t is said
that during these years there was not
an appointment made that did not
bear the O. X. of one or both of these
men.

GERMAN REPLY
UPHoLDS STAND
Maintains Position on Blockade
Of British Isles.
DECLARES ACTION NECESSARY
Says EnsIand's Course In Attempting
to starve Germany Demands
Retaiiatory Measures.

Berlin, Feb. 19.--The reply of Ger
many TO the protest of the United
States against blockade of British
waters is couched in the most friend
ly terms, but firmly maintains the po-
sition of Germany as already an
nounced. The answer, which is a
lengthy document was converted in
to code at the United States embassy
under the direction of Ambassador
Gerard and has been transmitted in
full to Washington.
The note explains that Germany's
proposed action is rendered necessary
by Great Britain's policy of attempt
ing to cut off the food supply for the
German civil population by a method
never recognized in International law
Englands course in ordering mer-
chantmen to fly neutral flags, equip
ping them with artillery with orders
to destroy submarines, the German
reply contends, renders nugatory the
right of search, thus giving Germany
the right to attack English shipping
Germany holds that she cannot
abandon that right under the stress
which England has forced upon her.
Argues Stand Necessary.
Since Germany must compel the
nations with which she is at war to
return to the recognized principles
of international law and restore the
freedom of the seas she argues that
the stand she has taken is necessary.
The note recommends that the
United States government send war
ships to England to convoy merchant
vessels through the danger zone as
security against attack with the un-
derstanding that vessels thus guard
ed shall carry no war supplies. Hope
is expressed that the American gov
eminent will understand the position
in which Germany has been placed
and appreciate the reasons for it's
course.
The reply closes with an express
SIGN of the hope that the United
States may prevail upon Great Brit
ain ito return to the principles of in
ternational law recognized prior to
the outbreak of the war;" and in par.
ticular obtain the observance of the
London declaration by belligerents
opposed to Germany. If this we're
done, the note explains, Germany
would recognize in this, says the re-
ply, an invaluable service to war
and would act in accordance with the
new situation thus created.
