II Is notable that on the day which saw
the chief justice of the United States
and prominent members of the senate OF
that country unite in tributes to Lord
Herschell, Ambassador Choate should be
conveying to the people of the British
empire the warmest assurances of friend
ship from the people of the republic
There Is more In this than appears on the
surface. The death of Lord Herschel
was only accidentally coincident with tht
arrival OF Mr. Choa,e In Southampton
but there is more than coincidence un.
DERIVING the expressions of friendship and
heartfelt appreciation to which utteranc<
was given. The two great nations are
clearly drawing closer together. and the
honors paid to the living statesman and
jurlst by the people OF Great Britain will
combine with the expression of sympathy
and esteem for the dead statesman and
jurist from the people OF the United States
in strengthening the bond OF sympathy
These things show how near we are u
each other in all that Is worth maintains
ing. in all that has served to make both
nations great

Petition hts been signed and for
warded TO Gov. Rogers to induce hdm
to veto bill 80. 2eS. relating TO justice
courts practices. A number of promi-
nent attorneys OF this city appear to
have signed the document In misappre-
hension as to its nature.
In the interest OF the administration
Of law. the hill should meet the govern
or's approved. It pats an end to the In
convenient and ineQUitable arrange
ment now in existence whereby Justice
court cases are taken out Of the district
within which their causes are located
and are transferred 10 remote courts
The main provision OF the bin is that
cases shall be heard in the jurisdiction
within which at least one party to the
case resides.
The reasona bleness OF this Is obvi-
GUS. Present statutes permit attorneys
to bring suit involving business firms
for example, in districts 50 remote
as to render the cost and time Of at
tendance frequently far greater than
the entire sum represented in the suit
Also the lees are lost to the courts to
which they should be paid. and. In cities
where Justices are retained upon SAL
airy. self-suipport At the courts Is rem
dered impossible. The cost Of trans
porting witnesses to and from q re-
mote district when 1t is not necessary
is excessive.
A number OF attorneys whose names
are attached TO the petition which is to
go before the governor have stated that
they did so without fun realization of
the contents OF the paper, and now wish
to have their approval considered re-
voked. All the larger cities Of the state
would be seriously inconvenience were
the bill not to become law.

Rhodes is right when he says that ut

charge OF the barbarians and give them
a white mans government" The Civ
ing OF government is the modern sub
stitute for the enforcing of subsection.
Nationality has the spirit of the con-
queror in it, after all. 1t expands under
the impulse of a Pharaoh or an Alex
ander or a Caesar or a Charlemagne.
Or it grows by the newer impetus OF
popular solidarity. as typified in the
colonizing of the later nations, wherein
chieftains have played no part
America must grow, not, under Nc
Kinley-it did not absorb Louisiana un-
der Jefferson or Texas under Polk-but
under the bounding impulses Of its own
irresistible vitality. If the course Of
growth brings the nation against races
which are uncivilized. those races must
be met, as the Indians were met. by the
methods which will most speedily and

dams unable to yield to the restrictions
Of law and the stability OF government;
but across the ocean In the Hawaiian
islands the story has been different. A
queen lost her throne there. a people
lost their nationality, and the story of
it has been pathetic; but there was little
or no bloodshed. The juggernaut ground
out no human lives.
In the Philippines, with their mex
plicable inhabitants. none know what
may happen. The natives may require
force: some OF them may yield to per.
suasion: some may want the conces.
sions to pride and officers stripes that
have been required in Cuba: some OF
them may volunteer for cooperation.
In any event civilization will be kind. or
civilization will be firm, or civilization
will be cruel according as any of these
qualities may be effective. But civilization
cannot stop. It cannot be impeded by
the sentiment of reactionary mercy.

The talk had been about cyclones and
the awful damage done by them, and the
man with the red whiskers who had been
reading magazine, finally looked up and
said:
Gentlemen, passed through cyclone
experience in Oklahoma three years ago,
and | don't think the newspapers exag-
gerate at all.
'Was it awful?" asked one of the group
lawful beyond description, sir. never
think of it without shudder."
'What was your personal experience"
'Well, sir, l owned an acre of grass
land, and was moving it, 1t was about ,
o'clock in the afternoon, and was hard at
work. | saw the clouds coming up, but
apprehended no danger. All of sudden
there was sound of thousand empty
wagons rolling over cobblestone streets,
and then the cyclone burst. | was fair in
its path
"Did you drop down and clutch bush
or stump of anything"
mo, sir. 1t came too quick for that
1t was on me like tigers spring. was
picked up as if by mighty hands and sent
flying through the air. For time must
have lost consciousness"
But you were finally dashed to earth, of
course, and it's wonder you escaped with
your life" observed the questioner.
81 don't know how l reached terra
tirma,' sighed the story teller, ''and |
amt give a guess as to how long | was

ever. In addition to that, had my scythe

"And | was in another mans meadow,
and had cut half an acre of grass" con-
tinued the story teller.
SIS it possible?"
at is, and do you know the owner of
that land was such mean old cuss that |
had to sue him for my labor, and even
when got verdict he went into bank
ruptcy and beat me out of it?''
"But you don't pretend to say" began
the man with the white eyebrows, after a
long pause, but the other interrupted him
| with:
1T was cyclone. passed through it.
| have given you my experience. If you
doubt my veracity it will perhaps he as
well not to say anything more about it,"
! ''But how could you be cutting grass
200 miles away"
Ibid you ever pass through cyclone?'
"No."
'Then wait until you have. You will
then see how it was possible for a woman
in our town to have been blown over into
Missouri and set down in house where
there were seven children who called heI
