PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE STA
TUTE LIKELY TO COME UP
FOR DECISION AS TO
CONSTITUTlONALITY.
FILING OF ROOSEVELT AND
ROOT PETITIONS IS CAUSE
Former New York Senator Ready 70
Protest. Use of Name, Which if Re-
moved From Ballot, Will Lead to
Mandamus Proceedings, Says
Minneapolis Man.

st. Paul, Jan. 11-Minnesota's pro-
gressive presidential preference pri-
mary law now bids fair to land in the
courts for a decision as to it's consti-
nationality and general validity.
Guy V. Howard of Minneapolis has
obtained from julius H. Schmahl, sec
rotary of state, a set of blanks with
which to obtain the signatures neces-
sary to file the name of Elihu Root
as a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination.
Roosevelt as Candidate.
Also A. A. D. Rain of Minneapolis
obtained the petition papers necessary
to the filing of Theodore Roosevelt as
a candidate for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination.
Mr.. Root has said emphatically that
he will protest the use of his name in
any primary election. In a letter last
week to w. T. Coe of Minneapolis,
Colonel Roosevelt stated: Il cannot
consent to the use OF my name in any
primaries
To File Roots Name.
Mr.. Howard said that Roots name
would be filed. 1t is known that if
Root writes to the secretary Of state,
asking that his name be removed
from the ballot, the request will be
complied with. And if Roots name is
removed, Mr.. Howard says excellent
lawyers inform him that mandamus
proceedings he then will instigata
against the secretary of state will re;
suit III the name being restored to the
ballot, or a decree issued rendering
the whole primary law invalid.
MandamUs Proceedings.
Mr.. Rain is proceeding on the as4
sumption that Colonel Roosevelt,
while not conserving to the use Of his
name, will make no actual protest
against it's use. But should he do so,
Mr. Rain or anyone else would be in
position to bring the same sort of
mamdamus proceedings to require the
secretary Of state to restore the nam9
to the ballot.
This development also threatened
the primary law from another angle,

together with an announcement of his
candidacy for delegate from the Sew

publican national convention.
SchnahI Returns Papers.
Mr.. Schmahl sent back the papers
and informed Mr.. Hall that under the
new law a candidate for delegate
must take oath that he is a supporter
of some person whose name has been
filed with the secretary Of state as a
candidate for the presidential nomina.

Whereupon Mr.. Hall bundled the
entire correspondence, including the
affidaVits in an envelope and forward
ed ne package to Minneapolis Re-
Dublicans with the declaration that if
the necessary funds should be sub
scribed, he will attack the validity Of
the law because Of the refusal Of Mr.
Schmahl to accept his filing.

London. Jan. 1.-THE British and
Turks are at grips in two great bat
ties between the Persian gulf and
Bagdad. Ten thousand British are
are before the final defenses Of this
Mesopotamiam fort. A relief eXpedi-
ton under General Aylmer is en-
deavoring to push forward to the re-
lief Of the beleaguered garrison.
In the House of Commons j. Aus
ten Chamberlain, secretary for In
dia, announced successes for this ex-
petition. He said the Turks we're in
full retreat after losing 700 prisoners
and a number of guns in a violent
battle.
Tell Different Story.
Reports received from Constantine
ople through Berlin and Amsterdam
tell an entirely different story They
state that General Aylmer's force lost
5000 men in an attack on the turkish
possessions at Sheik Said. The at
tack was repulsed.
Regarding the British force at Kut-
El-Amara, an official dispatch from
Constantinople, after claiming that
the fort has been surrounded and that
the main British army is in full re-
treat, says:
Hope to Take British.
ct is hoped Kut-El-Amara soon
will be taken or will capituIate for
want Of food and that the British de-
tenders, who number more than 10000
will be captured
"The British thought by leaving
these forces at Kut-EI-Amara to guar
antee the defense Of the town and also
to assure the orderly retreat Of the
remainder of the army.
This portion of the army is at
present a long way southeast of Kut-
El-Amara and cannot 60 to the aid of
the fort, especially as it's morale is
shaken"
Relief Force Reinforced.
The announcement OF Mr. Chamber
lain that new army was moving to
the relief of Kut-El-Amara was the
first official intimatiOn here that the
British troops there were in danger.
Heavy forces Of Turks We're brought
up for the defense Of Bagdad De-
feated at first, they again attacked
and drove the British back. The re-
treat continued for 100 miles until
the British again were in Kut-El-Ama-

believed to have been recently rein

ST to So ton The increased demands OF
paper labor throws weight on the wrong SIDE
of the balance and helps push up the price.
The management of The Gate City had a
concrete and pocket touching lesson IN ad-
vanced paper prices last week when they were
notified of an advance of between 70 and ~
per cent. in the price they would be required to
meet for the material on which this paper is
printed. Formerly the price of the print pa
per used here has been at the rate of 500 per
hundred pounds, delivered, in carload lots. In
the future it Will be $500.
So there you are; and the question is, what
is the newspaper publisher to do in order to
meet and overcome the opposition of ruinous-
~ high prices for material7 This was dis
cussed at the annual meeting of the American
Newspaper Publishers association at a session
last week in New York City. The paper situa-
ton was regarded as serious and it was agreed
that unless there is quick break in the pr1ce
of the commodity, it will be necessary to raise
the prices of daily papers
In conformity with this view, the action OF
the Pennsylvania State Editorial association.
taken at the same time, caused little surprise.
The Pennsylvania editors decided that if there
were not an immediate reduction in publication
costs they would advance the price of their pa
pers 100 per cent

KEEP THE SCREEN CLEAN.

The American people are spending half a
million dollars annually to see moving pic
lures Many millions OF men. women and
children are frequenters of the photoplay
houses To znuItitudes OF people the moving
picture Is the chief source of entertainment and
instruction. 1t engages their attention more
than any interest extraneous to home and
business.
Moving pictures make profound impress
sions. color thought, mould impulses and set
IN motion influences that are of widespread
and lasting effect Such fountain of amuse-
ment and instruction from which so many de-
rive pleasure and knowledge should be kept
pure. The possibilities of good in the photo
play are stupendous. The possibilities of evil
are equally as great. Hence the importance
vital to the morals of so many, of insisting that
only clean, unobjectionable films shall be
shown. 1t is up to the managers of photoplay
houses to see that the line of decency is never
overstepped and that nothing is projected OH
the screen that would offend as matter of dis.
cussion in the home.

EDUCATING THE JAN1ToR.

No janitor employed unless he bears a col
lege degree, soon may be the rule in the state
of Oregon. The Oregon agricultural college is
establishing an extension course wherein the
art of being good janitor will be taught. The
course will be open to all janitors. Some may
scott at this as dragging educational training
down to the trivialities. But it should not be
so regarded Whatever is worth doing, IS
worth doing well.
Science may be applied IN the care of a build
ing as we'll as In matters of greater originality
and import Indeed, the scientific janitor may
become "a benefactor-a prolonger of human
life. He will have exact knowledge as to the
proper temperature to maintain In office or
living room. He viii know how to protect
those who receive 5anitor service from germs
in rugs and carpets He viii be the final
authority on ventilation and sanitation
Let us remember that millions of children
and adults In schools, churches, assembly halls,
offices and residences are in the realm over
which the janitor rules In matters of cleanli-
ness. heating, ventilation and hygenic condi-
tons Therefore, If is no trivial matter to edu-
cate the janitor In the important details of the
work before him

MAY ADVANCE NEWSPAPER PRICES

The daily newspapers Of the country, to say
nothing of the weeklies, the magazines and the
technical and trade journals. are facing ser
Gus situation in the steady increase in the price
of print paper and in the component parts Of
all kinds of paper. The scarcity in labor, the
increase in wages and the advance in the price
of coal and the prevailing freight congestion,
all together aid in complicating the condition
of the paper market.
The cost of labor in Canada, where the bulk
of the wood pulp used in the manufacture Of
paper is obtained has increased because of the
scarcity Of workers caused by the heavy enlist
ments of Canadians since the war began and al
SO because Of the use by the British government
itself of the pulp as a substitute for cotton in
the manufacture of explosives The cost Of
pulp wood has increased from s. to So a cord.
This IN turn affects the price of paper from So
to 81 ton. Coal used by paper manufacturers
has increased about 90 cents a ton. and this
means an increase IN the cost Of paper from
