DUMA AND COUNTRY
UNITED FOR DEFENSE

The present crisis in Russia Is mainly
due to a conflict between the central gov
ernment and the majority OF the Zemstvos,
provincial and municipal bodies which have
, greatly contributed toward the war by
organizing and keeping in working cond-
ton muntion factories and gun works all
over the empire. With view TO intensity
ing their work for better military prepar-
alton. the executive committees of the
Zemstvos and municipal bodies had decided
a couple of months ago TO hold mass
meeting In Moscow.
This was forbidden by the Minister Of
the Interior. who then was Protopopoff, and
the next day the Duma passed a resolution
censuring the Government for the prohibi-
tion with i23 votes against A.. The sub '
stance of the resolution was as follows:
Considering that the obstacles put by
the Government toward the organization of
the rural. municipal and working bodies
for natural defense have caused discomfort
which in some instances has taken danger
Gus proportions, and considering the fact
that these bodies agree with the Duma in
Judging serious the present situation. agree
ment which shows the close moral union be-
tween the country and its representatives,
the Duma approve the patriotic participa-
ton of the unions in the national defense
and protests against the refusal of the
Government to allow them to meet at
Moscow.'
That same evening. however the car
signed an ukase adjourning indefinitely the
Duma and the upper branch OF the Parlia-
ment. The "coGp d'etat" had its immediate
answer in the elections held at Moscow.
wrer, the progressive party obtained a
crushing majority The Government was
80 impressed with this beginning Of true
revolution that it decided to nullify the
elections.
As q side incident of this internal poiti-
cal strife in Russia, the case of Manassevith
Manuiloff former assistant OF EXPIRE
mier Sturmer, may throw some light on the
present situation. This man was arrested
some time ago for his pro-Germsn activities
and was even put on trial. 1t might have
cost him his life. but he was recently and
quite unexpectedly freed. Notwithstanding
the fact that he rad offered huge sum OF
money to the editor of the Novoe Vremya
IL he consented to support in that paper the
agitation for a separate peace.

RACE PROGRAM II BE FEATURE
 NEXT THURSDAY

Due to the heavy condition of the fair grounds track, the Queen of Hearts and her rival. Vanity Fair, did not race for the $1,o00 purse as per. schedule
 Doc" Pardee. of Prescott, the. off cial nuisance at all state fairs, in addi tiOn to being in charge of the cowboy sports, who owns and is backing Van ity Fair, was of the opinion that the track was a little too muddy, follow ing the hard rain of Tuesday, and it was decided to allow the event to wait over until February P. which is c. W.'s birthday and a national holiday. On that suspicious occasion, there will be harness event at the fair grounds track, in which a goodly number of To- cal trotters and pacers will participate.
 J. c. Adams dean of the harness game in the state, will do the honors of the day and act as starter. Several local horsepan of note will be invited to act as judges. l
 At the present time there are a num- her of rather good harness horses in the valley. It will give them an op- portunity to partake of a mid winter workout. and give their trainers an idea what they are capable of doing under fire.
 The S-S mile race, which will he staged between Vanity Fair and the Queen of Hearts, will probably be the feature event of the afternoon. Both arc good horses. and both have been doing rather good work on the oval.

President Johnson was directed to contribute hberally toward a funt; . for monument in Boston to per petpate the memory of Timothy II Murnaue

Yes, Geary is coming back. That must be an awful blow to the rest of the state How they hate him. and how his kids work for him, and al the same time fear him. He has accom- llished almost the impossible.
 It takes skill, courage. and nerve combined with rare knowledge of football. to take the average raw youth who wanders into F. H. $. and whip out a football player. There are few coaches in the country who could do it.
 Gearys syster0 is not unique, or orig inal He uses combination of hard work, and the iron rod. Spare the rod and spoil the player, was never more aptiy demonstrated than in Geary' s case
 The raw material which comes to Geary, would break the average coach's heart It doesn't phase him, he just grins, and wonders what he would do if it were any worse, and then decides that it couldn't be.
 At the end of the season, he usually finds himself equipped with real ma : chine. There may be few flaws in spots. sbut at the same time the line will hold, and the backs will charge, which two accomplishments make up for lack of the finer points.
