A CHALLENGE.

~ ISS Theda Bara, who has por-
MI trayed every sort of woman on
AvA the screen, is deep student OF
the fair sex, and at the same time
merciless critic. She has this to say
of woman: "A woman is somst'nes
fugitive. irrational, Understandable, II
logical and contradictory. A great
deal of forbearance ought to be shown Z
her. and a good deal of prudence ex-
ercised with regard to her, for she
NAV bring about innumerable evils
without knowing it. Capable OF ali
kinds of devotion, and of all kinds or
treason. Monster incomprehenslble,
raised to the second power, she is at
once the delight and the terror OF
man"
The Free Press passes the ABOVE up
To Mrs. Bessie Wilson, the charming
and delightful lady who edits ana pup
fishes that bright and snappy paper
The Redwood Falls Gazette. We await
Mrs. Wilson's opinion of Theda's opln-
ion of woman-Joe Reynolds in Mali
kato Free Press.
Amt Joe the crafty old deceiver, though
He bats a two-barbed hook with grea'
big chunk of taffy and then sits back WIFI

HERE'S TO BOB!

rERE'S to Bob Forrest, the present
II elect of the Southwestern Mime
sofa Editorial Association, the
friend of all and the happy joymaker and
preserver of this section. Would that the
editor of this paper were endowed with
the ability to form into words such a
eulogy as only Larry Ho of ST. Paul can
pen. 1t would tax the capacity of Larry
to write fitting tribute to this man, Bob,
so it would be out of the question for the
writer to attempt it, but if feeling counts
for anything then we have accomplished
our purpose, for Bob is a shining example
of joymaker; one who sheds kindly light
no matter where he is; who is always
ready to make the world happier by his
witticisms, his good nature, his happy dis
position, yes, and his whole-souled heart. :

The appropriation of $4,000 made
by the legislature for the improve
ment of Ramsey Park at Redwood
Falls failed to receive the endorse
ment of Governor Burnquist, and so
the park will have to get along with
out that financial aid. Representa-
tive A. J. PraXel worked like Trojan

on by the two branches of the state

SENATOR KELLOGG SPEAKS.

As said before, I had hoped for
n months and months that some way
might be found whereby American
rights might be protected, and American
honor sustained, and American citizens
lives protected, without resorting to the
arbitrament Of war, but I came reluctant
ly to the conclusion that that could not
be- and that there would be no peace in
the word or security for this Nation I'M
til that Prussian dynasty, not a democ-
racy, was forever driven from power.

the people of France TO hatred for each
other, and they could not understand why
they were to be plunged into the horrors
of war. | believe | understand it. | be-
lieve there is involved in this war some
thing more than the expansion of trade,
the ambition Of empire, or the lust of con-
quest. believe it to be the old, old strug-
gle-as old as civilization itself-between
absolute autocratic power and the growth
of democracy.
''Mr. President, this, of course, as ev-
eryone knows, is a most remarkable period
of world history The close of the eight
eenth and the beginning Of the nineteenth
centuries was also a remarkable period.
It witnessed, for the first time in centur-
les, the establishment and the growth Of
democracy. 1t saw the light of a new Re-
public raised in the western skies; and
the French Revolution and the great Ma
poleonic wars which followed it were the
beginning of the end of absolute mon
archy and absolute power. The lapse of
100 years has seen tremendous progress
in the development of government. 1t has
seen the greatest part of the civilized
world at last joined by Imperial Russia.
1t has witnessed a development OF large
degree of self-government among the lead
ing nations of the world, where the peo-
pie have voice in their affairs. But there
is one autocracy-an I do not say one
unkind word for the great, progressive,
wonderful German people-there is one
autocracy or one military power which has
not yet felt the march of progress, and
that is the German Empire. There has
not been change of parties in that En-
pire since the days of Bismarck.

this bill. am going to support the legis-
lation necessary to place the power in this

colossal loan and these taxes may be but

Drastic Law Against Nepo-
tisrn is Favored BY Arizona
Senate
No One With Kin In Appointive
or Elective Office Could Hold
Public Place

If the Roberts bill against the
appointment of relatives to office
becomes law as it was almost un-
animously amended by the senate
today, citizens of Arizona who have
relatives in Office either elective or
appointive, will be barred from ap-
pointment to house positions. The
bill originally prohibited the ap-
pointment of relatives within the
third degree of consanguity. or the
second degree of affinity. But the
committee of the whole of the SEN
ate took notice of the fact that many
Office holders at present have ex-
changed courtesies in the appoint
ment of their relatives to clerkships
The amendment provides in addi-
ton that one is not eligible to ap-
pointment to any office in the state,
county or municipality if he has
relative in Office in either the state
county or municipality who enjoys
the appointing power. A list of the
offices to be brought under the rule
includes all the state officials, COM
missions. justices of the supreme
court, all county officials. School
trustees alone are exempt. This
amendment was adopted by the
vote Of all the senators but two,

S. p. Co. Builds New Cars

Announcement is made by the
Southern Pacific Company that it is
having built for the Pacific Fruit
Express 200 new refrigerator cars
to be del vered next April, in time
for the orange crop and the begin
ming of the deciduos fruit crop.
The additional cars will give the
Pacific Fruit Express a total refrig-
orator equipment of S, 500 and will
effectually prevent 1917 shortage
of refrigerator cars, even should
the demand for them be as great as
in 1916.
The new cars, according to Gen
eral Agent J. w. McClymonds of
the express company, are of spe-
cial model worked out by the Paci-
fc Fruit Express and government
experts. They are designed to en-
able growers to send their fruits
and vegetables east in sound con-
dition, reaching the markets with
out mechanical injury or deteriora-
ton. AS fast as the other cars are
repaired or rebuilt they will be re-
modelled to the new standard.
Our Cars" says Mr. Nicely
monds have been so we'll built that
we found last year, when facing
the car shortage situation, that
they could be Loaded to greater ca
pacity than ever. For example.
the boxes of fruit were placed sew
en- wide and two high. with a total
of 462 boxes to the car. Ppevious-
ly the loading was only 3o6, so we
got an increase in car service of six
per cent. Had we had last season
the new equipment that has just
been ordered, the car station would
have been greatly helped for we
can use the cars for box shocks or
other dry commodities that will not
injure the interior of the car. In
other words, if necessary we can
use them for other loading than
fruit.

in migrating to the lower al
titudes from the snow BELTS.
are in the habit of using the
railroad tracks, no doubt oW-
ing to the absence of brush

become dazed at night by the
headlights of the locomotives

have to be put out of their
