WASHINGTON, March 25.—An nouncement by Governor Sleeper, of Michigan, that he would not ask any officeholders to resign who were re cently convicted in the federal courts for violation of the laws, has revived the inquiry here not merely as to what the state of Michigan would do, but what the United States senate would say about the retention by Truman H. Newberry of his seat. The question concerns not alone Michigan politics and the reduction of the Republican majority in the United States senate to one vote—a narow margin on which to do busi ness—but it affects the opportunities of the Socialists and radicals in the next campaign. Already the Social ists are drawing a parallel between the expulsion of Victor Berger from the house of representatives because he had been convicted in a federal court on a charge of violating the espionage act, and the case of Senx tor Newberry, who has been convict ed ana sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Both Mr. Berger and Mr. Newberry have appealed their respective cases, and each hopes to secure a reversal even if it is necessary to carry the fight to the supreme court of the United States. But in the meantime the house of representatives not only refused to seat Mr. Berger, but when he was re-elected by the people of Wisconsin, who by their votes ga ?e the Impression that they didn’t be lieve him guilty of wrongdoing, the house declined even then to accept Mr. Berger into its membership. Soap Box Arguments All the soap-box orators are get ting ready to point out that a So cialist can't get a square deal from the federal government and the New berry case is the very ammunition they say they have needed to drive their point home. Berger’s -friends claim his crime consisted merely in expressing an opinion—in saying the war was not for democracy, but for commercial gain and rivalry. Some of the very criticisms of the war made by Mr. Berger during the heat of the conflict later were repeated in substance by President Wilson himself on his western trip in behalf of the League of Nations, but, of course, the fighting was over and there was no sharp scrutiny of words or arguments in post-bellum days. v There are three ways by which the problem developed by- the New berry case can be solved. Mr. New berry' can resign of his own volition and spare his colleagues in the sen ate any embarrassment. The senate can by majority vote declare Mr. Newberry’s seat vacant and ttie gov ernoi’ of Michigan can make a tem porary appointment and call a new election. The state of Michigan can have a new election before the sen ate acts and say whether in view of the federal court’s verdict, the peo ple still want Mr. Newberry to rep resent them in the senate. Then the senate in the event that the vote is favorable to Mr. New berry, can vindicate its own posi tion and reverse the principle adopt ed In the house in the Berger case and permit Mr. Newberry to remain in the senate while his case is being appealed. Would Listen to Colleagues The junio. senator from Michigan has not yet returned to Washington. Immediately after his conviction he said he would consult his colleagues in the senate before deciding wheth er or not to resign. Truman Newberry is the kind of man who would not stay in the senate a second longer than his col leagues wanted him to do so. • He would not engage in a contro versy or fight for his seat as did Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, if he stays. It will be because his Repub lican associates insist upon it, though from the viewpoltn of political con trol, the vacancy caused by a possi ble resignation of Mr. Newberry would be filled at once by the ap pointment of another Republican as the governor of Michigan is a Re publican. Personally Truman Newberry, is well liked in the senate. He made many friends here when he was as sistant scretary of the navy and the general impression given by his de fenders is that he was the victim of overzealous friends who spent larg'e sums of money to defeat Henry Ford and gave little concern to a possible check-up. As a matter of fact, although it is unfortunate that Truman Newberry alone should have been ordered pun j ished for what so many office-hold- I ers have gotten away with in past j years without prosecution of any I kind, the effect of the Michigan ver- ■ die already has been to put cam paign managers on their guard and ■to promote a healthier regard for federal and state corrupt practices acts and election laws. The upshot of the Newberry case, i however, probably will be the volun i tary resignation by Mr. Newberry of ! his seat in the senate. General Wood Wins South Dakota Primary SIOUX FALLS. S.

One of the most remarkable of the letters written by the German kaiser to the Russian czar in their long correspondence is dated February 21, 1905, when Russia was seething with revolution. The kaiser sat down apparently after a great deal of thinking and informed “Nicky” what the world was saying about him and about Russia. A crisis had been reaqhed in Russian affairs and the kaiser may well have become worried about the ultimate effect of an upheaval on the autocracy to the east, which could not fail to af fect his own rule if it fell. “Nicky’s” methods had been anything but tact ful. Workers marching to address the czar were mowed down by troops on Red Sunday, January 22, 1905. Demands for reforms and a consti tution were answered by temporiz ing. Schemes elaborated by the Rus sian ministers were not yet ready fc. announcement. In the far <ast the army and navy suffered nothing but reverses. The czar sat in Tsars koe Selo and the people grumbled. The kaiser does not write as if he were giving advice on his own re sponsibility but pretends that he is repeating what is being said general ly in Europe, and takes it for grant ed that this news has not reached the czar. This affords an unusual insight into the way the kaiser work ed. The letter discloses that the kaiser himself was well informed not only on events but the trend of opinion in the world. Sec ondly it is evident also that he was anxious to have the czar preserve the prerogatives of “divine rule” and not yield too much to the popu lar clamor. He wants the czar rather than the ministers to announce reforms an- in commenting on how blame is placed on a ruler makes the interest ing remark that “in constitutional nations it is not so dangerous, as the king’s ministers have to mount the breach and to defend his person”— as so often happened in the kaiser’s own experience. He suggests that the czar lead his troops in person. He points out how MJoscow became alien ated because the holy war was not proclaimed from the KremlinX The kaiser believes that the masses will adore a ruler who goes among them. The letter conveys much information on the kaiser’s understanding of af fairs, his motives and his interest in Nicky’s predicament. The actual re forms suggested by the kaiser are today of unusual historic interest— no general legislative assembly, no national convention, no liberty of assembly or freedom of the press, but an act of habeas corpus and wider extension of the council of the empire—which was purely ad visory—and personal participation of she ruler in public affairs. The letters of the kaiser were copied by Isaac Don Levine, staff correspondent of the Daily News In the soviet archives at Moscow. Kaiser’s Letter of Advice “Berlin, Feb. 21, 1905—Dearest Nicky: Fritz Leopold (Prince Fred erick Leopold) has just returned with your kind wishes and compli ments, deeply impressed by your ex treme kindness affability as well as by the handsome reception you gave him. How glad I am to hear from him that you are Well, calm, self composed and hard at work, and that dear Alix and the children are all right. It is so much easier to work at a difficult task when one knows that those one loves are well. I am glad I was able to meet your wishes by sending Fr. Leop to Asia by sea! Your railways are hereby left un hampered! What terrible tidings have come from Moscow! These AMERICAN PEOPLE STUFF THEMSELIES TOO FULL OF FOOD. HF DECLARES Pomeroy Says He Will Have Hundreds of Liv ing Advertisements of His Remarkable Medi cine Before He Leaves the South. John Pomeroy, the noted New Zealand scientist, who has stirred up every city he has visited, with his theories and medicine, feels confident that his success will be as great in the South as it has been elsewhere. His theory is that the human stom ach is responsible for most ill health, and that the American stom ach is growing weak, and from'the way -die is making sick people well again, he seems to be right. Recently he said: “American peo ple have stuffed themselves with un suitable food and taken little or no exercise for so Jong that about half of them are sick.- They don’t know what is the matter with them. I am told every day by many people that they were suffering from nervous break-down, or liver complaints, or beasts of anarchists have perpetrated a dark and dastardly deed. (Grand Duke Sergius, uncle of the czar, was assassinated at Moscow February 17, 1905.) Poor Ella, what a fearful blow it must have been for her—may God grant her strength ' and devotion to bear it! It is very hard for the fine old capital of Rus sia, that her walls should have been soiled by so foul a crime but surely she harbors no true citizen drawing a breath who can approve of it. I cannot believe that these demons have risen from the ranks of your Muskovite subjects—they were prob ably foreigners from Geneva. For the great bulk of your pebple still place their faith in their “Vaterchen” (Little Father) the czar and worship his hallowed person. I have gained this conviction from my close ob servation of the different phases of the movement in Russia as far as I was able from the news coming di rectly from there and by the opin ions expressed by observers, or some times Russians, in the European press. Kaiser Gives European View “The Russian movement is, as you may well imagine, uppermost in all conversations and correspondence not o'nly in Russia but also without. The whole European press is flooded with articles about Russia, their opinions depending on the standpoint of the party they belong to. “In this manner—so to say—Euro pean point of view has emanated, which seems fairly correct render ing of the public opinion of our Con tinent. Now I thought that it might perhaps be of some interest to you— in your solitude at Tsarskoe—to have an idea of this European opinion, and to hear how the events in your coun try are judged by what one some times calls the ‘civilized world’® in general. I shall therefore in the fol lowing lines try to draw a little sketch for you of the ‘reflected Rus sian picture’ as seen from outside Os course as the people outside your country are not initiated to the de tails of the intricate questions at Issue in Russia they often combine, or infer from an effect they see— without know its cause—and there fore often a wrong combination will lead to a wrong conclusion, because their ignorance of the true facts have left a breach. The foreign spectators are often forced to ‘jump to con clusions,’ but we must add: ‘Wo die Begriffe fehlen, stellt oft ein Wort zu rechter Zeit slch ein.’ (Where judgments are lacking the right word often comes at the right time.) “Therefore I must ’avant tout’ (first of al,) beg your pardon for writing to you things that you will probably since long have learned from your diplomats’ reports and crave your kind forbearance and for giveness if I—as a loyal, firm, and devoted friend of your am obliged to do—also must record opinions which may seem to you harsh, un generous, false or even hurt your feelings. But Russia is in the act of turning over a new leaf in her history, and the development shows a tendency to prepare the beginning for a certain modernization. Gives What Russians Think. “Such a process .you will agree, in a mighty nation like yours is bound to command the most widespread in terest in Europe, and ‘comme de raison’ before all in the neighboring country. The methods to be adopted, the means whictj are to be used, and the men who are to do the work have a direct influence across your fron tiers, upon the other nations. If I said that the ‘opinion’ was a ‘Euro pean’ one I must not omit the fact that many Russians who have passed through here in the last months, and all those living all over Europe, es- rheumatism or other diseases, too numerous to mention, until they took my medicine. “As a matter of fact, the average man or woman can not be sick if the stomach is working properly. To be sure there are diseases of a virulent character, such as diabetes, cancer, tuberculosis, etc., which are organic and not traceable to the stomach, but even fevers can, in nine cases out of ten, be traced to something taken into the stomach, although they must run their course when once started. “To sum the matter up—a sound digestive apparatus that is doing its full duty getting every particle of vitality out of the food, above all else, brings health. I shall prove this to the thousands of people be fore 1 leave this section. I shall succeed in meeting these thousands with very little trouble, for in a few weeks I shall have hundreds of liv ing advertisements in people who have taken my medicine. It’s aston ishing how much talking a man or woman will do if you will get their digestion in shape.” The leading druggist in nearly ev ery town sells Puratone or Pomeroy & Company, Atlanta, Ga., will fill or ders at $1.04 per bottle postpaid.

The outcome of it isi this: “On dit (it is said): "The regime Mirski (Plehve’s successor as prime ministers) too suddenly allowed the press a greater liberty than before and dropped the reins—so tightly held by Plehve—too soon. Hence a sudden flood of unheard of articles and open letters addressed to the ruler, a thing up to then thought im possible in Russia; some of them most insolent, calculated to diminish the respect for the Autocratic rule. This opportunity was seized upon by the revolutionary party to get hold of the unsuspecting workpeople, to work them up into a state of ferment and to make them demand things—they were incapable of understanding— in a peremptory, disrespectful man ner accompanied by language and acts which came very near looking like revolution. This brought the working class—l am sure against their will—into direct opposition to the government and into conflicts with the authorities, who had to maintain law and order.
