why There was No Room.

When he was a young man, Senator
Hale Of Maine, like many young men
who have later on In life made their
mark In the world, was not without
that egotism which Is said to be IN
element Of success. "
On n occasion Mr.. Hale was rid

other passenger wa an Irish woman

head In the door and asked II there

woman and looking into her eyes with
great tenderness he said:
"There isn't any room In here, Is

CANT LEVY SPECIAL TANES
For school PurpOses-So Says the supreme
Court of Montana.

The supreme court Monday handed
down one Of the most important and
~far-reaching decisions that has come
from the highest tribunal in the state
for a good many years.. The question
decided was as to the legality of special
elections in school districts for the pur.
pose Of providing additional school FL.
c~ilities. AS a territory and a state,
school districts in Montana have been
levying special taxes for the purposes
named, and hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars have been paid by property own.
ers for the support of the schools IN the
shape Of special school taxes. IN the
decision handed down the supreme
court holds that the law which pro.
vides for the levying Of these taxes is
unconstitutional. The unconstitution.
atty is in the fact that the law Is so
crude and vague IN its terms that 1t
cannot be intelligently interpreted.
As to the effect Of the decision, 1t
means that until a future Legislative
assembly enacts another law on the
subject no school district will be able
to levy a special tax. More than that,
it means, il the decision is followed
out to it's literal conclusion, according
to the opinion Of ONE lawyers, that ali
Of the money that has been collected
in the form Of special school taxes, may
be recovered in a suit by law. As a
matter Of public policy the may
not compel the school districts that
collected special taxes to refund
them; but as a plain proposition Of
law. money collected under an uncon.
law may be recovered.

II IS Expected That Repairs on industrial
School Building Will Be CompAeted.

Work on the Industrial School building
which was damaged by fire some months
ago. Will be commenced about the first
Of July AT the time of the fire it WAS
thought that the building would be ready
for occupancy by July. but the changes
which were subsequently made in the
board Of control allowed the matter to
hang in the balance until more definite
responsibility could be settled Tho trus-
tees have accepted the plans, bnt the
Journal is unable to ascertain just the
dimensions of the addition or the style
Of architecture that has been adopted.
The building was originally three stories
in height, but whatever remains Of the
third story which was burned will be re-
moved ana not replaced. Two-story
buildings are much more desirable 70:
school purposes, ana the two-story addi-
ton which will be placed on the north
side will amply make up for the story
thus cut off.
The building was considerably wrecked
by the fire ana the repairs will Of neccs-
sity have to be general. The plaster ana
floors are worthless ana new finish will
be necessary throughout. The west wall
which leans outward IL partially defective
and will be suitably repaired
one Of the trustees in conversation with

would consume nearly as much time as

good progress it may be possible to have
