Washington, April Ct. B. Walker Of
Minneapolis, submitted an argument in
opposition to the repeal Of the timber and
stone law before the house committee on
public lands to-day. He based his opinion
on the ground that it; would prevent the
poor man from acquiring the land of that
character, and that it would enhance the
price OF land scrip now held largely by
spectators. He also advocated the extern

If America made a great fuss over

was made that Sir Thomas would
never again try for the cup. Over here
we are fond of novelty, and Sir Thomas
is an old story. But he is respected as
sportsman, and the fact that he is in

shrewdly suspected, has prejudiced
certain people in Great Britain against
him, is rather in his favor with US.

a DANGEROUS PRERoeATIvE

The opinion of Assistant Attorney
General Dickson in the matter of the
Northern Pacific Railway company's
assessment seems to us to lay down
the only safe rule Of action. 1t is for
the courts to say how it may stand as
a matter of law, but it certainly would
be a dangerous and impossible conces-
sion to allow any such body as board
of equalization to decide whether props
erty admittedly owned by an individual
is taxable or not. This is equally true
whether it is proposed to drop the prop
erty from the tax roll altogether or to
Offset indebtedness against it.
In the case in question the right of
the matter may be altogether with the
company. We do not know as to that.
Whether, however, it is right or wrong,
it is clear that the matter should be
passed upon finally only by the courts,
and until such decision has been rem
dered there should be no waiver OF
possible public claim. There would be
no end to complications and to possible
favoritism and injustice if any official
body had final authority to enforce or
dispense with taxes. Our boards of
equalization themselves are sufficiently
clumsy devices and work poorly under
the most favorable circumstances. II
would not do to give them wider au-
thority and admit their power to pass
finally upon the claim of those assessed
for taxation If their assets are bal
anced by liabilities. Most people can
make out a showing on that line, and
all taxable property would presently
disappear.
The opinion of the states legal de-
partment seems to be both sound and
safe. This should be question in the
first place for the assessor and in the
second place for the courts. When
property is to be taken from the tax
rolls the circumstances cannot be too
carefully scrutinized.

OUR GOLD AND SILVER MEDALS

hsit were permitted this state to
excel in but one thing and If a choice
were offered it, undoubtedly 1t would
declare in favor of its free educational
system. Its population is and always
has been remarkably common-sensed.
Invariably the people have spoken up
for the things that are most worth
while, and they have been farsighted
enough to perceive that in a democ-
racy there is nothing better worth
while than an honest educational sys-
tenn. Therefore Minnesota may be par
doned if in the future she displays
trifie ostentatiously the gold and sill
yer medals which the st. Louis exposi-
ton has awarded her for her educa-
tional exhibit.
: There are many circumstances that
make the award particularly crafty
ing one. In the first place the exhibit
was not costly. Minnesotans have read
with pride that other states expended
more money on their display; that
this states exhibit, indeed, was a very
modest one. It won out on merit alone.
Then it was eve have the word of the.
judges for this) ''the most perfect crys-
Utilization Of the educational system,
from rural schools to university, pre-
sented by any state" In other words,
1t was absolutely representative of the
educational work of the state as it is
carried on daily. And then, last but
by no means least cause for gratifica-
ton, the elementary educational divi-
sion was awarded the biggest prize.
Minnesota has never had to blush
for her educational exhibit at any ex-
position. But the st. Louis exposition
has demonstrated that the state is not
resting on laurels won in the past; that
1t is continuing to progress. To deter
mine what are the essentials in educa-
ton and to stick to these-this is the
problem and the duty Of every state.
Fortunately no myopia clouds Minne-
sofas vision. She has experimental,
but she has made few serious mistakes
and always she has been able to right
her course.
But if the st. Louis award compli-
ments the state, it compliments in a
special manner the men and women
who represent and who are perfecting
its educational system. The gold and
silver medals are a tribute to their
success. In the public school rooms in
every city, town and district in the
state, the teachers toll faithfully wear
after year. but little in the way OF
praise rewards their effort. The state
should welcome this public commenda-
ton from St. Louis as much for their
5akes S for its own.

acles on his wrists. In despairing
effort to rid himself of the restraining
bracelets the benedict broke the lock.
The train which was to take the bride
and groom on wedding tour was due
to start and the man with his bride
was compelled to go away wearing the
handouts
We do not as rule favor a resort to
physical force, but there are some con-
ditions which may not be met other
wise. The Sioux City man would have
been perfectly justified in going to any
extreme in resisting the strenuous
idiots who subjected him and his bride
to the humiliation which was put upon
them. The humor Of the pumpkin
seems to be appealed to irresistibly by
a wedding. He cannot refrain, unless
the groom be of size to check him,
from indulging in tricks which he would
not dare essay at any other time. The
sacred character of the marriage cere-
mony stimulates in the joker some
latent phase of idiocy which aims at
inviting public ridicule for the newly
wed.
Ordinarily there are no means at
hand for the checking or the punish
ment of the wedding joker. Occasion
ally when he INDUCES himself in q
charivari the badgered groom has the
excellent sense to take a shot at him,
but as a general thing he goes unre-
buked. Which argues a bad state Of
public morals. A people having no re-
gard for the marriage ceremony can
scarcely be expected to hold in very
high esteem the sanctity Of the mar
rage tie.
1t is not seemly that a man who is
about to enter a state which should call
out the best that is in him should have
his mind fixed on the necessity for
arming himself, but it would help vast
" in the matter of keeping the wedding
practical joker in check, and save many
bride from nerve shattering expert
ence, if the groom would add big club

Stones Hurled Leagues in Air

JAMESTOWN, st. Vincent, Oct. s.
Capt. Roberts, of the intercolonial
steamer Sibun, says that on Sept. 20,
at a. M, his vessel passed within
three miles of st. Pierre, Martinique,
on the way to Port de France. At that
time Mont Pelee was emitting large
volumes of smoke. On leaving Port de
France at noon those on board saw two
other disturbances of the volcano. On
Sept. 80 great explosion occurred. 1t
appeared that large stones were elected
leagues into the air. Suddenly the vol
cano became wrapped in a black cloud
until the steamer lost sight of land.
Capt. Roberts is unable to say what re-
suits the eruption had upon the cone
of the volcano.
There are conflicting statements re-
garding the condition of the Soufriere
volcano. Some of those residing near
the devastated district say there were
loud detonations, followed by loud up
heavals on the night of Oct. !, which
caused volcanic dust to fall at Chateau
Blair. Capt. Roberts expressed the
opinion that Mont Pelee alone is re-
sponsible for the heat which prevails
on the island of st. Vincent. The
barometer is disturbed.

CLEARING HOUSE FOR
PRODUCE EXCHANGE
New York Body Adopts Minneapolis
Institution as Model


Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-The New York
Produce Exchange is to have a clear
ing house for the prompt settlement of
future contracts This decision was
arrived at today by unanimous vote
at well attended meeting of the trade.
The clearing house will be organized
in the form of an independent corpo-
ration, the membership of which will
be optional with each member of the
exchange. Stock in the clearing house
corporation will be open for purchase
by others than members of the ex-
change if they so desire.
The meeting was held for the recep-
ton of report by special committee
appointed to act on the clearing house
plan. Practically since their appoint
ment the members of the committee
have had the Minneapolis clearing
house system under consideration. The
report of the committee stated that
upon careful investigation and consid-
GRAFTON 1t had been decided that the
Minneapolis system would suit the
purpose, with slight alterations, to
meet certain local requirements. The
report stated such clearing corpora
ton as the Minneapolis one would be
within the laws of the state. The COM
mittee suggested the desirability of
clearing charge of 21s cents per 5000
bushels and also recommended that
charter be drafted of sufficient scope
to embrace oils and metals. The re-
port met with not an adverse criticism.
