NOTHING ALIKE.

Premier Lloyd-George fell into
grievous error in likening the Repub-
lie of Ireland to the Confederate
States of America. The people of
the south have very kindly feeling
toward Great Britain because the
south had Britain's sympathy during
its own fight for independence, and
it is very unfortunate that England's
premier should have had the bad
taste to compare the south with Ire
land, with which there is nothing in
common. The so-called republic that
has been set up in Ireland has no le-
] gal status under the laws Of Great
Britain, whereas the Confederate
States was a. legally constituted gov
ernment, and the right to leave the
union and set up it's own government
was youchsafed under the conStitu-
tion of the United States.< Therein
was perhaps the secret of the great
valor with which the south defended
it's rights. Davis was a legally
constituted executive; de Valera is an
outlawed so-called head of vision
ary and illegal government. There
is nothing similar between the Re-
public of Ireland and the Confeder-
ate States of America.

CHAOTIC POLITICS.

There has perhaps never been a
time in history when the country was
so much at sea politically as at pres
ent. Politics is certainly in tune
with everything else. Even though
the presidential election is only a |
few months off, there is no one who
can make anything like safe guess
as to who the Democratic or Repub-
lican nominee will be. The chaotic
condition of politics is revealed in a
number of instances.
Former President Taft, who was
approached on the matter of allow
ing his name to come before the con-
vention, replied that his attitude to-
ward the peace treaty would prevent
him from accepting the Republican
nomination. Mr.. Taft is perhaps the
most prominent Republican in the
country today.
Herbert Hoover, who positively
declines any nomination unless it
comes from the Republican party, ap-
pears to be about as popular among
the Democrats as among the Repub-
licans, which doubtless precludes any
possibility of his nomination.
Tom Watson, who is neither
Democrat nor Republican, or much
of anything else in the opinion Of a
good many folks, received the highest
number Of popular votes in the Geor-
gia Democratic primary. And so on
it goes.
The Literary Digest is conducting
q straw ballot on a large scale. Out of
125,00O ballots already received, the
principal feature in the scarcity of
Democratic votes. This probably
means nothing; but Of the Demo-
cratic candidates none of them re-
ceived as many Democratic bal
lots as did. Hoover, Republican,
ond.E Edwards who is running on a
liquor platform, leads all the Demo-
Gratis. Of the Republican ballots,
Gen Wood leads with $4,000.

is an item which we should especially
consider, for out of consideration for
an old friend we should take the op-

The ex-sheriff OF Barron county is
apparently about to slip a slow one
overp on the constitution of Wisconsin
by getting himself reelected to office
for two consecutive terms. He evades
the technicaLty of the law by resign
ing few months before his term ex-
pires, and, with new sheriff appoint
ed. he argues that the latter is the
man he is seeking to succeed. Not
so bad at that. Besides evading the
intent of the law, the appointment
also undoubtedly eliminates one pos
sible opponent at the polls.

Practically every auto accident
case which comes to the attention of
the authorities discloses a consistent
assurance that the drivers are never
to blame. They never speed and
they are always on the right side OF
the road. Yet the mishaps occur.
With the drivers thus eliminated
from responsibility it leaves the blame
entirely upon the cars themselves,
and we would therefore uphold the
suggestion that the cars and not the
drivers be arrested. We believe that
were few cars which are found
racing away with the drivers hailed
into court and held for 80, 60 or go
days, there would be great reduc-
ton in the speed law fractures, and
a corresponding decrease in acct
dents.

COST OF PAVING
,..,s,r,fs MERELY A TRIELE

The cost Of the paving, so far
as the property owners living
along the paving routes are con-
cerned, will depend on the pas
sage of the Babcock Amend
ment this fall.
Every taxpayer will, as was
stated yesterday, pay one cent
for every dollar of his assessed
valuation, not the real value Of
his property, but the assessed
valuation. That is the amount
he will pay if the Babcock
Amendment does not pass. If
it passes, the amount will be
a. trifle less than seven-tenths
Of a cent per dollar of assessed
valuation.
A table has been prepared
showing the cost of the paving.
The width of the pavement
varies, being but 10 feet in the
outskirts of the city and WIDEN
ing out to So feet in the bust
ness portion.
If the Babcock plan carries
the cost will be per front foot
as follows:
10 foot pavement-no cost.
30 foot pavement-S1.8O.
80 foot pavement 200.
40 foot pavement $50.
So foot pavement $40.
Any property owner, by as
pertaining the width of the
pavement to be laid in front of
his property, can multiply his
frontage by the amount given
for that width paving and ascer-
tain his cost. This total can be
paid over a term of fifteen
years.
F or example, a property own
er in Nymore, where the pave
ment will be 18 feet, would pay
nothing except the general tax
in case the Babcock Amend
ment passes, while if it does not
pass and his lot was rs feet in
width he would pay $67.5O, or
a trif1e over 81 per year for
fifteen years.
Other examples of what the
cost would be in various parts
Of the city will be given to-
morrow. !.

Court in Session
WAS STUNNED WHEN
HE HIT THE FLOOR

Attempts to take his own life re-
suited in nothing more than hard
fall on the floor of the cell when
George Sherman, arrested for the
robbery of the Farmers State Bank
shortly before noon on wednesday
and confined to the Beltrami county
jail, tried to end it all by hanging.
Tying his vest around his neck ana
fastening the loose end to the ceiling
of the cell, he jumped from the bed
on which he was standing. The vest
broke under the sudden strain and
Sherman fell to the floor and was
rendered unconscious for several min
utes, For the remainder of the night
he was watched closely by attend
ants.
:: Admits Identity.
When first captured and confined,
Sherman refused to tell anything
concerning his name or his family,
but it has been ascertained that his
father is a woodsman by trade and
had been working in John Moberg's
camps as stable boss at Red Lake,
where the International Lumber COM
pany is heavily interested in logging
several million on, a. timber cutting
contract, secured from the govern"
ment, in a competitive BID. At pres
ent he is living at International Falls.
Collided With Truck.
The young man met with severe
difficulties since he first attempted
the robbery. After escaping from
the bank building and running east
on Third street to 'Beltrami avenue,
turning south until he reached the
alley in the rear of the Dalton build
ing, he turned into the alley and
collided full force with an auto truck
belonging to Koors Brothers Co. and
being driven by H. Britten. The COL
lision did not knock him down since
the truck was proceeding slowly but
it did appear to daZe him.
1t is reported that Sherman admits
that he took part in poker game
short time ago at Mizpaha and after
losing all of his money held up the
proprietor at the point of a gun and
demanded the return of his losings,
which amounted to about $140.
His case will probably be disposed
OF at the district court term which is
in session.
