The question of the relative merits
of lawyers and editors as to veracity
arose recently at a social affair where
both professions were about equally
represented. Each Of course claim
ed the honors, but the final settle
ment of the question was left to a
representative Of each side. These
representatives we're to prepare
essays and submit them to COM
mittee. The best essay would de-
eide the difference. And this was
the prize essay.
"There is one editor in heaven,
though how he got there the Lord
only knows, but it is supposed he
rode in on the blind baggage or got
q pass. When they found him there
they tried to turn him out but he
refused to go. Then they hunted all
over heaven for q lawyer to serve
him with ejectment papers, but they
could not find one, so the editor held
the fort and he is there to this day.

speech, he said, "The open door pol
icy of our government has convinced
the Chinese that we do not want
| their land, and Cinnamon. high and
low, praise our policy in that partic-
ular. Dewey's victory at Manila
gage us great military prestige. Our
power had been underestimated be-
fore, but possession of the Philippines
gave US a base for supplies and
troops when the crisis came IN China.
It enabled us to make our influence
dominant. Our forces were in charge
of man whom the world has come
to recognize as the leader of Ameri-
can politics, President William Nc.
Kinley. To him the Chinese people
confidently look for the salvation of
their empire.
"Thus we see that the newest civil
ization in the world has been put by
the logic of events in position where
it must work out the destiny of the
oldest civilization in the world. The
civilization which had its birthplace
in the east has travelled around the
world. In my belief, the civilization
whice is to again encircle the earth
will come from the action and the
reaction of the oldest and the newest
civilization operating together.
"We have mission in China be-
yond and above the mission of trade.
The question of selling iron and cot
ton and kerosene is of small import
ance compared with the performance
of our duty to civilization, to the
world and to ourselves. Our destiny
is before us. We have been blessed
with the best institutions in all the
world-the best civilization. Now is
it not our duty beyond everything
else to treat these people SO fairly, SO
justly, so humanely, that out of this
crisis may come good and not danger
to the world?"

AB11L has been introduced into the
legislature requiring a physieian's
certificate of sound mind and body
before any marriage icence can be is
sued. The idea of the law is correct,
and has been long urged by students
ofsociology as the only way to protect
society against the perpetuation of a
line of mental, moral or physical de-
fectives. The proposed law is how
ever, far in advance of public opinion.
and we much fear that if enacted it
would simply become a dead letter
on the statutes books. Wisconsin
has just enacted a similar law.

A humorous cuss from Kansas
wants to know "where is the state of
matrimony7" says the Chicago World
Well, as near as the Review can
locate it, this happy state is one OF
the UNITED" States. It is bounded
by hugging and kissing on one side
and cradles and babies on the other.
It's chief production is population,
brcomsticks and staying out at night.
It was discovered by Adam and Eve
while trying to find passage out of
paradise. The climate is rather
sultry until you pass the tropic of
housekeeping. when squslling
weather sets in without sufficient
power to keep all hands down. For
principal roads leading to this state

Maud Muller pumped on her WON

dusty pike. An old drop frame of a
way down gear, with rattle the

came pounding along behind, out
airing his great judicial mind, he
noticed the creature neat and trim,
and the graceful motion OF hidden

grave delight. "What the matter with
Maud? She's alright" He. drew up
beside her and asked her fat why she
rode on such an old ice cart as that.
And she said sales ladies. could ill
support such wheel as the Judge Of

could on chainless ride with q dis-

if she would bust up hisssolo life
they would tandem together as man
and wife. Msudie bit at the bait as

smiled as he yanked her out. They
ride On a tandem now of course, but
Maud has to work like a tread-mill
horse, For the Judge has learned to
shirk and let his darling do all the

Formidable Expedition Soon, to Leave
81 Santiago, Cuba.
New York, Jan. 31.-A dispatch to
The Herald from San Juan, Porto
Rico, says:
Announcement that a formidable
flibustering expedition is soon to
leave Santiago, Cuba, for Venezuela,
was made by the Venezuelan consul
here. He declares it will be led in
person by Ignacio Andrade, former
president, who was overthrow by
General Castro in the last revolution.
General Andrade, who came to San
Juan soon after the beginning of the
present trouble in Venezuela and has
remained quiet since, sailed during
the morning for Cuba. He travelled
incognito.
The Venezuelan consul has received
advices that the expedition is prac-
tically ready to sail and only awaits
the coming Of General Andrade. A
German steamer. he says, is to con-
.vey the hlibusters to their, destination,
which is expected. to be at some point
on the delta OF the Orinoco, where
rebels have already gathered in force.
Several gunbosts, however, are pa
trolling the coast, watching for expe-
ditions.

Mrs. NAT1oT's anti saloon crusade
does not meet with universal approx
al in its modus operandi, but it is
nothing more than is to be expected
if the enforcement of the law is to be
as lightly regarded as it has been.
People will take the law in their own

be, and this failure is the fundamen-

THERE is bill before the legis,

spector on salary basis. Under the
present arrangement, the Office is
paid in fees, and the principal duty
of the oil inspector is to draw his
salary while someone else is hired to
do the work for a fraction of the
emoluments. This ansmaly should
be stopped and the rich fees should
go to the state treasury.

THERE are some people who still
believe that the earth is fiat, and
there is a doctor in Appleton, Wis,
who has long claimed that there is
no such thing as contsgion of disease
and scouts the germ theory entirely.
The physician in question. DR.. j. M.
Rodermond, last week started out to
prove his theory and went to the pest
house and broke the postules on a
small pox patient and smeared the
virus on his hands, face and, clothes
and went to his home for supper.
Afterward he went to some social
gathering and played cards until a
late hour, taking particular pains to
come in contact with the people he
met. The next morning without
having washed or fumigated himself.
he went to Green Bay where he at
tended several patients. The news
of what he had done did not leak out
until after his return to Appleton. It
appears that there is no law in Wis
consin by which the people can get
q remedy against the offender.

Morris tribune., 1901-02-02

PRESIDENT McKinley's message to
Congress, transmitting report of
Secretary Root, and report of the
Philippine commission, on existing
conditions and needs in the islands,
although not long, is receiving much
ltattentien. It concludes with these
words: II earnestly recommend
legislation under which the govern
ment of the islands may have authori-
ty to assist in their peaceful indus
trial development in the directions
indicated by the Secretary of War"
The Philippine Commission strongly
urges the passage Of the Spooner
Philippine bill by Congress-, saying
of it: "Until its passage, no purely
central civil government can be estab-
lished; no public franchise of any
kind granted, and no substantial in
vestment of private capital in inter-
nal improvements is possible" Of
the need of civil lawn in the islands,
the report says: "The army has
brought the Philippines to the point
where they offer a ready and attrac-
tive field for investment and enter
prise, but to make this possible, there
must be mining laws, homestead and
land laws, general transportation
laws, banking, and currency laws"
Of the general condition the report
says, after noting the favorable effect
of the reelection of President Nc
Kinley: From now on conditions in
these islands will grow steadily
better, and however formidable the
difficulties really are, the possibilities
that present themselves of improving
the condition of the people in educa-
ton, wealth, comfort, and in the
knowledge of how to govern them
selves, cannot but awaken the deep
EFT enthusiasm on the part Of every
friend of civilization, familiar with
the actual conditions" Many be-
lieve that President Mckinley will
call an extra session if this Congress
fails to act upon his recommends
tons, as lack of time may compel it
to do. Senator Lodge, Chairman
Philippine Committee, EXPRESSES con-
fidence that the Philippine legisla-
ton recommended by the President,
can be pushed through the Senate
in few days, but that confidence is
not generally shared by Senators.
His committee is now considering
the best method Of accomplishing
the desired end.

UAll talk that the president 10 disiptef.
ested regarding the shipping bill is untrue.
Each annual message he has sent to con.
gress has urged the passage Of just such .
measure as that now pending.
UWhen the army reorganization bill has
been finally disposed Of the president will be
fortified, as never before, to concentrate the
military forces upon the subjugation of the
insurgents in the Philippines.
DThe people are far more concerned in
the president preserving his strength than
in his yielding to the opportunities of the
smart sci" who desire the resumption Of
social functions at the white houes.
UOne of the most important questions to
Washingtonians, toward the close of each
short session of congress, is whether there
is to be an extra session or not. 1t means q
difference of many thousands of dollars daily
to the merchants Of this city whether con-
gress IL in session or recess.
E1The chances for the passage of the ship
ping bill grow brighter daily. The enemies
of the bill are exhausting their resources Of
Misrepresentation and vih6cation, inspired
by the foreign steamship owners. The pee
pie are beginning to see that the real queS-
lions involved are, whether American SHIPS
at reduced freight rates shall aupersede for
sign ships and higher freight rates, IN the
carrying Of our imports aad exports.
