"Roadmaking has not improved very

ETHICS DON'T COUNT.
New Rule by State Board of Dental
Examiners.

New Rule by State Board of Dental
Examiners.
Seattle, May 23.-Applicants for H.
cense to practice dentistry in this state
are not now required by the state
board to sign the code of ethics insist
ed on heretofore. The state board de-
cided at a meeting held Friday that
this agreement should not be exacted
of the students or applicants who came
before the board for examination. At
Fridays meeting when the examina-
tons began nothing was said of the
code and ethical and non ethical stu.
dents sat side by side upon exactly the
same level before the board.
The decision to abandon the attempt
to secure pledges that the code Of eth
les would be followed was made by
the state board after serious rupture
between dentists had occurred over the
previous ruling. Members of the state
board explained that the newspa pers
had opposed the provision, the people
were dissatisfied with it and criticism
among dentists made it inadvisable to
continue the plan of demanding sigma
lures to the code.

ted States secret service men, under
the command of Alfred f. Burke, spe-
cial agent Of the United States govern
ment, from New York city, made the
most important haul on record in the
treasury department. The opium is
supposed to be worth more than $35,.
900, as it is of the finest grade. The
launch is valued at about $780, and
three safes, in which the drug was kept
in transit, and which have been confis-
Gated, are worth 1925 each. The men
were arrested and the drug and safes
captured at house on Twenty first

ed by former Congressman Samuel A.
Cook. They are in the field of battle,
to wage war that will not end until
the last vote is counted in November
Both conventions were characterized
by order and the absence of fierce
strife. So careful were the anti.third
termers to preserve the standing of
Wisconsin in the national Republican
ranks that they chose electors identi-
cal with those picked by the La Fol.
lette men.
There has been bitter fight against
Governor La Toilette by the "anti-
third termers," and there were several
contrasting delegations on both sides.
These went with their respective fac.
tons and made up sufficient number
of delegates to give each convention
a majority Of the whole number Of del.
egates as designated in the convention
call.
The La Toilette ticket is supported
by both United States senators.

BISHOP DAY RESIGNS.

One of Newly Elected McthOdists
Concludes Not to Hold Office.
Los Angeles, May 24.-Another SEN
sation was sprung on the Methodist
conference during the morning session,
when DR.. James R. Day, chancellor
of the Syracuse, N. ", university, re-
signed the bishopric to which he was
elected on Saturday.
Days election was due to the pub
lished story that he had knocked down
Prof. Hardie of San Fernando. Cal.
during an argument on higher criti-
cism. The story turned the tide in
favor of Day, who was Immediately
elected.
DR.. Day made the request that his
resignation be accepted because of the
sensational incidents connected with
the election. The resignation was &C.
cepted.
DR.. Days action has established his
honor beyond doubt, and he is the
most popular man in the conference.
