UNIVERSAL TRAINING,

Whether or not the Chamberlain bill providing for universal military
 and naval training of citizens, becomes
 law at this session of congress. it
 lays down certain broad principles
 that are meeting with all but general approval and is inducing a public sen- timent in our eNIgent condition, that insures adoption of the universal train
 ng principle, if not at this session. then early in the next session.
 The citizens obligation of support
 p the nation is fairly stated in the ChCamberlain bill It provides that nc citizen shall be permitted to send a substitute to the training camp; that
 -ch person who has completed his
 mp duty shall receive a certificate of such traiinng; that no person or corporation shall employ any citizen who is liable to duty. under the act unless he has a certificate of training
 |bHIoA tO iilt government Is thus made a personal obligation, applying equally 10 all citizens, regardless of social or financial position It makes performance of this duty a test of and rightfully excludes from the enjoyment of employment all who would eyade the common duty.
 There may not be entire agreement l5 to the details of the Chamberlain plan, but in general principle it is likely to be accepted as the basis of early legislation. There is objection in some quarters to the limitation of training service to six months, with two weeks training in each two years following the first year, and many critics suggest that an annual draft of 400 900 men is not enough. The bill provides for the enrolment of every young man at the age of 19, and he remains in the reserve until he is 2S. Those who have relatives

So few people seem 10 realize the extent and wonderful resources of the Russian domain that 1t is fitting to present some few of these at this time when there seems to be every proba- bility that it will become our sister republic and nearest democratic neigh bor.
 Russia stretches over vast terri tory in both Europe and Asia, with land area exceeding S,60OOOO square miles or one-sixth of the land sur face of the globe. Over ten years ago the population of this vast country was estimated at 149, ,299, 300.
 Seventeen years ago the value of her exports was $5t7,240,0oO whilst her imports came up to $322, ,665 900 for the same year. Germany was strong in her trade relations with Russia talk ing about g per cent of her exports and supplying her with 24 per cent cf her imports; whilst the United States did Tut little business with this wonderful country Of the future

 It will surely cost hundreds of mil. lions, it may cost thousands of mill lions; but it will bring likewise to this nation a blessing so inestimable

 This is not an exaggeration of sen- timental rhejoric 1t Is the mere state ment of q fact as certain as the sun in the heavens.
 We havn witnessed the regeneration of E'rfnce into glorious, serious manhood. We have seen Britain aroused from the stupor of pros perity complacently accepted as mat ter of course. We have seen our kindred across the Canadian border measuring up to new ideals of nation- al opportunity and duty. We have seen everywhere Indifference trans formed into passionate devotion, cynic- ism becoming heroism sordd selfish ness and luxurious self indulgence disappearing in fine self -abnegation, individual character exalted by the magic of the common cause.
 Our turn must come with a war righteous as this will be; and perhaps here as elsewhere the great quicken ing has been needed.

Potash in Wood Ashes.

What will good grade Of
hardwood ashes coatain? |
have an opportunity to buy
ashes from a mill at $40 per ton
delivered, and said to contain 10
per cent of potash. Is not this
high?"
Good hardwood ashes that
have been kept perfectly dry
may possibly contain 10 per of
potash, but as rule they have
from 5 to Z per cent. They
should contain IS per cent of
lime and small percentage of
phosphoric acid. l would have
serious doubts of mill ashes
having 10 per cent of potash.

The Commercial Club rooms in this
city were resplendent in festive attire
Wednesday evening in honor of the
annual party given by the members of
the club. AS it was ST. Valentine S
day, cupids, hearts, natural flowers,
ferns and national colors, formed the
decorations, which had been judiciously
planned and artistically carried out in
every detail. A dainty repast was
served and the guests were entertained
one pleasant hour by Mr. Roetheg, ma
gician Of Chicago, after which they
danced until the small hours of the
morning, to the delightful strains Of
music from the Municipal Theatre
Orchestra. The evening was notable
for its social features and was very
pleasing success.

covers period of thirty years.
Because of long and intimate ac-
quaintance with Mr. Parkinson. the

word to the foregoing sketch, which
is splendid tribute to deserving man

"Morris Parkinson was a splendid
type of American manhood, self made,
self reliant, with an honorable record
in public service, pure and stainless
in private life. He was genial,
gracious, kindly gentleman who treated
all who came within the circle Of
his acquaintance with rare and un-
failing courtesy and consideration.
He leaves surviving him, his wife,
three brothers, George d. Parkinson Of
Darlington, S. A. d. Parkinson Of
Robert Parkinson of Mineral Point,
and one sister, Mrs James E. Jones of
Sioux City, Iowa, besides vast num-
Der of friends.
We are gathered here to-day to pay
our last earthly tribute to all that is
mortal of Morris l.. Parkinson. The
chums OF his boyhood and the friends
of his manhood, who have known him
intimately and we'll each one of US
drop the tear of sympathy upon the
casket of our departed friend, and COM
