THIS IS MY 64th BIRTHDAY. Rear Admiral Adolph Marix, U. S. N., retired, was born of Juwish parentage in Saxony, Germany, April 24, 1848. While still a boy he was brought by his father to Amer- ica. He was appointed to the United States Naval Academy from Iowa and graduated in 1868. He was made masier in 1870 and lieutenant in 1872, after which he was assizned to special service in the judge ad- vocate-general’s office, where he ac- quired knowledge which stood him years later in good stead when he became judge advocat: of the Maine disaster board of inquiry,an appoint- ment which made him prominent in an interesting chapter of American naval history. When President Taft was governor-general of the Philip- pines Commander Marix was a naval attache at the islands. When retired for age two years ago Admiral Marix was serving as chairman of the light- house board at Washington. Congratulations to: Cyril Maude, well known on the English and American stage, fifty years old today. David Felmley, president o. the Illinois State Normal University, fif- ty-five years old today. Do You Wish to Rule? Under our present state system, which is foisted upon the people by |the use of perfectly legal methods, the minority controls. The only way in" which to shift this control from the minority to the majority 1s to elect men to the next state legisla- ture and to the state offices who will see that the present system is {changed. Men do not get their names on state ballots unless they are nomi- nated in state conventions. They {cannot be nominated in the - state conventions unless they control a majority of the delegates elected by the county conventions. To control the county conventions their friends have to be elected at the caucuses. Consequently, the whole question of whether or not the majority shall rule sifts to the question of whether you and your neighbor vote at the caucuses. 1f a voter fails to attend the caucus, then he has had nothing to say as to the election of the men to the county convention, thence to the state convention, and themnce to the nomination of state officers. So that when the final ballot is prepared he is confronted many times with the choice of voting for one of two men, neither of which is satisfac- tory. The man who did not vote at the caucus has had nothing *to do with the nomination of either. He can vote for whichever one he wishes, but he has no cause for complaint. He had his chance and failed o take it. In order to vote intelligently at the caucuses, every man should post himself on the questions which must be decided by these conventious and officials. He should also familiarize himself with the stand that candi- dates can be depended upon to take after election so that only trust- worthy men will be returned to of- fice. Politics may be a game but it is one which concerns every man and woman since it is in the power of our representatives to saddle a part of us with unjust taxes and al- low others to be free from their share; since they can force or mnot force the railroads to cease making discriminatory rates; since they can again be controlled by the interests or can throw off that contrel and: clean out the capitol. The county committee has set May 7 as the date for the first caucuses in Beltrami county. These caucuscs are the nearest approach we now have to a primary election. Voters that do not attend these caucuses will have had no voice in the nomination of presidential electors and the conse- quent nomination of the next repub- lican candidate for president. It is the duty of every man to attend these meetings and see that the right men are sent to the state convention so that the people can once again rule. Where Women Are Superlor. Men pride themselves on thelr courage, but where both moral cour- ege and physical bravery are conm« cerned women give men a good start and a beating.—Exchange.
