discussions of the Pan American con-
gress--to find that this is not the case.
The tentative programme" has now
been published with arbitration"
down in the first place thereon, with
out limit, or qualification. The con-
gress itself is to decide whether or not
there shall be any. The Washington
authorities are also evidently very
hopeful that when the time for the
congress actually arrives, all of the
South American republics will have
decided it TO be the part of wisdom
to be there represented and take their
part in shaping conclusions. For her
own sake, it is now thought, that Chile
will send its delegates. This eXpecta-
tion, it is profoundly to be ,hoped, may
be realized.

A vacancy in one Of the United States
judgeships in New York having oc-
CURED, there has been notable spon-
taneity in the suggestion that Charles
A Gardiner, whose brilliant brief in
the insular cases did much to save the
governments cause, would be the right
man for the place. With due respect to
Mr.. Gardiner, we dissent. Any judicial
position for him short of seat on the
federal Supreme bench would involve a
waste of good material. He would be
more useful in the freedom of the bar.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Madison April 30. There is
railroad taxation in Wisconsin for at
least two years. The assembly Tues
day afternoon did the unexpected and
killed the first Of the railroad taxation
bills prepared by the tax commission,
refusing to consider any amendments
or compromise. The measure which
was killed proposed to increase the
license fee from to so per cent on
the gross earnings, or some $500, 900
in all This action on the part of the
assembly was unexpected because 1t
was believed that the assembly, being
the popular branch and standing near
CT the people, would favor a PROPOSE
ton to equaliZe taxation when 1t was
backed by the recommendation of the
tax commission. But though Mr..
Hall and Mr. Dodge ably championed
the peoples cause, the vote was not
even close. The Dodge amendment
was lost by vote of SO to SO, while
the ball amendment went down so to
80.

or telephone companies should not be-

until after 60 days from the date of its
passage and If during that period five
per cent. of the voters demand it the
ordinance should be submitted to the
people and be approved by them be-
fore going into effect. The Portage
levee appropriation bill was the cause
of spirited debate in which Senators
Martin and Bssell were the principals.
Senator Martin believed that there
VAS constitutional provision which
prevented the expenditure Of money
for such purposes. and therefore he
asked for a preference of the bill to
the committee on judiciary that this
matter might be investigated How
ever, his motion to rerefer was voted
down and the measure was passed by
a vote of "a TO 5.

In the assembly yesterday morning to

So fresh and so pure,

The JOY of kind deeds,
The brightness OF smiles
That the sad world SO needs.

The angry unspoken;
Tho merry hearts laughter.
To heal the hearts broken.
