In One Lot.

Some years ago in a certain county
court, which was not one of the best
fitted-up places, three auctioneers
were seated in a pewlike continuance
awaiting the judges order to give
evidence.
All at once there was terrible
dust few up.
Whats that?" asked the Judge.
oh. it's nothing, your honor" re-
piled a ready and facetious lawyer;
Its only three auctioneers gone of
in one lot"
The seat had given way.

SUNDAY REST FOR POLICE.

The blotters at police headquarters
in Duluth, Mimi, are, says Chief Nc
Kercher, illustrated temperance lee
lures.
On Saturday forty arrests were
made, most of them on charges of
drunkenness. That included Sunday
morning until seven o'clock. A clean
sheet was put on the blotter Sunday
morning at that hour. At eight p m.
there was not name on it. At $50
there was one arrest-a man who was
wanted in another town on a charge
of passing worthless checks.
Saturday, big day in the saloon
business--result, forty arrests. Sun
day dry-result, no arrests for drunk
enness. IF that isn't an argument for
temperance" says the chief, Il don't
know what is"

THAT PICTURE.

The Dawson News had the following
editorial in their paper this week which
refers to the publication of photo
graph of the recent victims of the moi

We are glad to see that this conserv-
alive publication views it's publication
with more or less skepticism.
Some persons believe we should
not have printed the picture of the
victims of the Lee county mob.
1.-THE picture, doubtless, should
not have been printed, but in the
manifold duties of getting together
a good newspaper, and being
pressed for time, it is impossible
for the editor to always give
thought and elaboration to every
matter, and that is true in this
case Knowing that illustrations
of unusual occurrences, especially
of this character, have been and
are now printed in secular news
papers without causing unusual
criticism it was permitted to pass
the editors blue pencil more as a
matter of course than as the re-
suit of thought or consideration as
to its propriety or improperly.
THE News always regrets to
make mistake or use bad judg-
ment, and if it was such to print
this picture we regret having Of

Germany Has Been Trying
To Make Separate Peace

TOXIC, Japan, Feb determination
of reports that Germany has been I'M
successfully trying to conclude sep
arate peace with Japan was made by
County Okuma, the premier, in re-
cent interview printed in the KoKum-
in Shimbun. The premier believed this
indicated that Germany was showing
certain signs of suffering, chiefly as a
result of the weakener conditions of
her finances.
While no details of the peace nego-
tiations were made public, the premier
said it was hardly necessary to an
nounce that Japan would adhere to the
London peace declaration by which she
had agreed not to make a separate
peace.
Criticism in some quarters has arts
en- because Japan's adhesion to he
London declaration was undertaken by
the government without consultation
with the privy council, but in defend
ing the governments action, Count
Okuma declared it was a natural re-
suit of the declaration of war by ia
pan upon Germany.
"The fact" he said, that the anti
Japanese sentiment in Canada, the
United States, Australia and other
countries has gradually subsidized and
is being replaced win favorable SEN
iment towards Japan is due to our acts
Of loyalty to pledges"
At the same time the premier made
the important announcement that ia
pan is about to obain from Russia Ger
tain concessions in forestry, mining
and other industries in the Northern
half of Saghalien Island, which is own.
ed by Russia. The Southern half OF
this island was acquired by Japan at

Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered From All Spheres

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Following
the peace agreement between the Fed
eral League and Organized aBseball, it
was stated by the big league magnates
that ball slaries nd expenses would
be revised downward. Players sala-
ries were to be reduced and their con-
tracts issued from year to year, in
place of the long term agreements in
vogue during the conflict between Or
ganized and Independent interests.
1t was pointed out that the majority
OF the clubs could not meet expenses
under the conditions existing and that
it would be necessary to curtail sala-
ries, expenses, training trips and in
general bring to bear a modern bust
ness efficiency system in order that
professional baseball might be placed
Oh a paying basis again. While it is
possible that the magnates may be
planning to inaugurate such system
thsre certainly is no sign of such a
movement at the present time.
In the matter of preparing for the
1916 baseball season the magnates both
old and new, appear to have taken a
leaf from the book of the promoters of
the proposed Willard-Moran bout and
entered the field of frenzied finance. In
buying baseball club stock, securing
Federal league stars and signing man
ayers the sums spent surpass all prev
ious records, and it will require some
very clever retrenchment in the
months to come if the magnates ex-
pect to reach the financial plane out
lined few months ago

This aggregation of rich men have

also to the forthcoming visit to Toxic

Indication of the growing friendship
between Japan and Russia, which

ed Japan in this period of war and

had not been a failure as some of the
governments enemies were insinuat-
ing.
Speaking of the relations with China
he pointed out that Baron Kato, the
former foreign minister, was able to
secure various concessions in Man
cturia and Mongolia and to extend the
railway an dother concessions to 80
years without moving single soldier
or manoeuvring a single warship" and
he had done this while conversing
with Chinese officials with smiles on
his face"
Even if the present disturbance
should spread throughout China" he
continued, "our country need not mob
olize troops there. If portion of our
fleet should take some action in the

China it would be sufficient. In case
