Status of the Naval Militia.

officials of the War Department have
been confronted with the question whether
the naval militia of the various states is to
be considered part of the regular organized
militia of the states under the operations of
the new militia law. II the question is
answered in the affirmative It will become
necessary for the War Department to sup
ply the naval militia with arms and equip
ments out of the appropriation carried by

the militia law in which event there will
be so much less available for the land MI
litiamen. AS 1t is now, the government
appropriations for the naval militia are
controlled and allotted by the Navy De-
partment. Moreover, the War Department
does not carry military supplies suitable
for the naval militia.

SIX hundred dollars is not too much
for a mess of kisses, providing the char
acter of the woman from whom the os
culations are stolen is good and so es-
tablished in the trial of the action. But
If the woman is proven to have carried
beer and done other undesirable things,
the theft of lip-tickles is substantiated
only by her word and the record of the
trial be in error as to the admission of
certain evidence, then 5000 shall not be
paid by the alleged naughty man, but he
shall have another trial and another
chance to prove that he did not take
from the woman her valuable kisses.
This is substantially the determination
of the supreme court in the matter of
the case Of Emma J. Barton against E.
Bruley from the circuit court for Clark
county. The woman brought suit for
damages, alleging that Brulev Rugged
her violently on an occasion of her call
ing at his office to collect some money
and that he inflicted kisses upon her.
The jury in the trial returned verdict
of $500 compensatory damages and 81 600
punitory damages. The punitory dam
ages were cut down by the court to 500
and the plaintiff woman was required to
remit the excess, which she did. From
the Judgment of 5000 the defendant Bur
ley appealed and he now gets new trial
on errors found in the record Of the trial

THE Alaskan boundary commission
has arrived at decision, owing to the
fact that the English commissioner,
Lord Alverstone, found against the Can
adian contention. Owing to the fact
that Lord Alverstone did not hold with
the Canadian commissioners and there
by prevent decision being reached, the
American commissioners quite accom-
modatingly gave to Canada the Portland
canal which under the treaty with Rus
STA was included in the Alaskan cession.
Though the United States has sustained
it's title to the disputed territory, Can
ada has no cause to make protest. OW
ing to the liberality Of the American
commissioners it has secured the Port
land canal and port to which it had no
just claims. BY claiming much Canada
has gained little. Surely, it has no rea-
son 10 complain, while the United States
has no cause to rejoice, The United
States has held its own and in so doing
has felt impelled to show it's generosity
by granting to Canada port to which
it was not entitled. And yet Canada is
not satisfied.

A Few Good Reasons.

Why is it that property owners and
others will continue to patronize cata-
logue house when they can get what
they want here at home? Did it ever
occur to you that when you send to a
supply house for anything you can OBJ
tain of your home merchant you are re-
dueing the value of your property to a
certain extent? This is fact. Suppos-
ing half of the people of our territory
send away for their goods, would it not
be necessary for our local stores to re-
duce their stock at least fifty per cent,
discharge half of their clerks, partition
their sales room one-half in fact do just
half the business they are now doing?
Don't you think that such conditions
would reflect on the value of your prop
erty? The town itself would dwindle
down to dead and dilapidated place,
and the taxable value would be reduced
one-half. We believe that the people in
any community should be CO operatives;
that is, stand by each other. The home
merchant is the one you go to for credit
when you are out of money, he is the
one that i approached when there is a
church to be built, when roads are to be
improved md nearly always he is ready
to do what he can to help you.
What does the supply house do for
you? 10 the first place they take your
money long before you know what you
will get for it, and when you do get
what you send for it is an inferior arti-
Gle and costs you more than the home
merchant would charge for the same
thing. The profit your merchant should
have and which he is justly entitled to
has been given to a concern that does
not care for your welfare anymore than
the man in the nom.
The supply house man does not help
you pay taxes to keep up your school,
churches and highways.
These are some few and good reasons
why you should stand by your home
merchant. He is your friend in need.
He is your friend indeed He looks for
markets for your produce from the farm
and he is always willing to help you in
any way consistent with good business
Why seek from foreign shore that
which you can obtain from your home
door. -Cashton independent

On THE Both day of last June there
we're ID, 1875 rural free delivery routes in
the United States. Such a convenience
and general success has this rural free
delivery shown itself to be that the de-
mand for additional ones from all quar-
ters has been SO great that there are to-
day nearly 10000 routes in the country.
The system has expanded 50 rapidly, not
only because it gives the rural popula-
ton mail deliveries at their own doors,
but because it is proving itself cheaper
than the old plan of delivery through
the regularly established postoffices.
From what has thus far been demon
strated, it is safe to predict that the sys-
TEN must continue to grow until every
locality whore the density of the popula
ton will warrant it will have these
routes

The pulling down of the banks at

WHAT would be thought of the presi-
dent if he should go about the country
making speeches 10 which he should be-
rate congress? We never had but one
president that 50 far forgot himself to
do so and that was Andy johnson, whose
place in the history of his country is not
desirable one But one governor of a
state has so far forgot his obligation to
the people of his state who had honored
him, as to go into other states and talk
of the venality of his own legislature,
giving no evidence of the truthfulness of
his statements, unfortunately, our be-
loved state has not escaped the affection
of such a chief executive, whose place in
the history of the state time will record.

licenses as possible to fish fish and gun

MAY appear odd to some people that
an agitation for the suppression of the

AGAINST THE HEAlERS,

Dependence on faith healing in the
case of sickness. where the patient is
child who has not arrived at the
age OF discretion, is criminal negl-
gence in the opinion of the supreme
court of New York. Such in brief is
the decision in the case of a father
who refused TO cali a physician to at
tend his l6.months-old child who
was suffering from pneumonia, from
which II died. The parent was fined
$500 under the PENAL code OF the state
appealed from the lower court.
4 affirming the verdict OF she
yer court, the judges on the SUI
pieme bench say they have nothing to
o with 'ariances in religious belief;
md have no authority to determine
which is correct neither do they place
any limitations upon the power OF the
mind over the body, the power OF
faith TO dispel disease nor the power
of the supreme being TO heal the sick.
Their province is simply to construe
the law as enacted by the Legislature.
That law says a person who fails to
perform a duty imposed upon him by
statute. TO furnish medical attendance
to a minor in his custody. is guilty OF
a misdemeanor. This was not done
by the father in this case, hence he Is
guilty OF violating the law, irrespec-
tive OF any religious belief he may
have entertained.
