THE Wisconsin Central Co. will test
the constitutionality of the anti-pass law
beginning with the case of one of its
higher officials who is a notary public,
yet may not ride on transportation fur
nished by his own company. The law is
all right in it's spirit. 1t is doing good
things for Wisconsin; but some of the
interpretations read into it are absurd.
The notion that an editor who takes not
cash but mileage in return for advertis-
ing may not use it because he is an al
derman or poor commissioner does not
seem to be good sense. He takes cord
wood and other barter, why not mileage.
Nothing but considerations Of public
policy can justify his exclusion and we
question the necessity of such discrim-
ination against him.-State Journal.

JUDGE e. RAY STEVENS of the circuit
court has decided against the railroads
in the cases brought by the state to re-
cover the amounts claimed to be due be-
cause the railroads falsified their returns
to the state. Under the decision the
railroads will be compelled to make
complete discovery and accounting to
the state for the past twenty years.
Judge Stevens decided in favor of the
contention of the state that taxes were
not debts and that but one cause of &C
ton was set out IN the complaint, thus
necessarily deciding also that the stat
ute of limitations had not run upon any
unpaid license fees due the state.

THE controversy between Sweden and
Norway over the dissolution of the union
of those countries seems now to be ap-
preaching peaceful adjustment. Stormy
times have been threatened at different
stages of the discussion, but breaks
have been wisely averted. The latest
concession comes from Sweden, in which
King Oscar recedes from his demand
that the forts on the frontier be demol-
ished. Under the revised proposition
the forts are simply to be disarmed.
Other differences still exist but it is be-
lieved that they will be adjusted in good
time. 1t is interesting to note that the
amicable outcome Of these negotiations
has been promoted by King Edward,
who is himself thus entitled to some
honors as peace maker.

Must Attend School.

The school law provides that children
under Is years of age must attend school
for at least eight months during the
year. The law provides a penalty for
neglect on the part of parents and guar
dams who disregard this injunction. Not
less than five nor more than fifty dollars
fine upon conviction is the penalty.
Children under Is and over IA years of
age may be licensed, or legally per-
mitted to work under certain conditions.
No child under IA years shall be en-
ployed required or suffered to work for
wages at any gainful occupation at any
time, except during vacation of the pub
lie schools in the town, district or city
wherein the child resides.-Ex

A physician in search Of remedies
for human ills finds that laughter
stands very high in the list Of prophy-
Tactics. The effect Of mere cheerful
ness as a health promoter is well
known, but an occasional outburst of
downright laughter is the heroic rem
edy. 1t is a matter of everyday expert
ence, says the authority in question.
that one feels the better for a good
laugh, an explosion Of laughter being
in truth nerve storm, comparable in
it's effect to thunderstorm in nature,
doing good by dissipating those op-
pressive clouds Of care which some
times darken the mental horizon.' This
authority assures us that the memora-
bic adage, Laugh and grow fat" rests
on sound philosophical basis. Portly
people are not given to laughter be-
cause they are fat. They are fat be-
cause they laugh.

Missouri Building With Contents
Totally Destroyed.
ART COLLECTION A VALUABLE ONE
One OF the Finest Structures on the
Grounds Now a Heap OF
Blackened Ruins.

Portland, Oct. l4,--Missouri's state
building is the first of the edifces oil
the Lewis and Clark fair TO meet an
untimely fate at the hands Of the de.
stroyer. II was not wrecking crew
which totally demolished Missouri's &
magnificent representation at the West-
ern Worlds fair, last night, but II was
fendish, relentless and unfeeling
flames, which tore and burnt their way
through the building from one end to
the other, devouring the rarest treas.
ures of art, almost invaluable exhibits,
costly fixtures, leaving in their wake a
path OF destruction, a vivid reminder
Of the awful power OF fire,
The fire began apparently from an
unknown cause at o'clock last night,
presumably in the rear end, and within
l5 minutes the whole of the building
and all OF its contents had been utterly
destroyed. A desk, trunk and three
chairs were the only things that were
saved. The statue, representing the
state OF Missouri, which stands in front
OF the building, and which was present.
ed to the state OF Oregon this week,
was untouched. The Missouri building
was sold yesterday to the Missouri
wreekage company, local concern, for
$4,000, but was not TO have been de-
livered until today. The erection OF
the building resulted in the expendi.
ture of $l2, 900, aud the cost OF INSTALL
ing the exhibits amounted to about
s5, 900 more. While the loss OF the
art gallery is commercially estimated
at $50 900, most OF the paintings and
statues were owned by art admirers,
and could net be bought for the mere
sake OF money. The total loss of the
building, art gallery and exhibits is
estimated at $4,000. OF insurance
there was meager sum of $4,000 on
the art gallery.
All that remains OF the Missouri
building Is ghastly and heart rending
pile of blackened boards aud twisted
ilonwork, where until last night stood
one OF the most beat Ltiful buildings OF
the whole Lewis and Clark exposition,
and which contained an art gallery OF
beautiful paintings, and masterpieces
Of noted sculptures, which can never be
replaced.
The art gallery was the feature OF the
building, nearly all the noted artists OF
Missouri contributing to the assem-
blage of the paintings and statues for
the express purpose OF having them ex-
hibited st the Lewis and Clark exposi-
tion.

America and France VIII Apply u to
Castro, of Venezuela,

SN&00f w NNUN&0StNt
Washington, Oct. Is. - Venezuela,
was the subject of an important oonver.
sation at the State department today
between Secretary Root and Mr., Jusse-
rand, the French ambassador. The
latter has been awaiting the arrival
here Of the report Of Mr.. Calhoun, the
American special commissioner, before
reporting to his government course OF
action. Mr.. Calhoun has reported
verbally to the president and the secre-
tary, but he has not yet completed his
formal report upon the conditions he
found existing in Venezuela.
Enough 10 known, however TO show
the similarity between the grievances
of the Paris and Washington govern
ments. Whether this similarity shall
find corollary in parallel action ON
the part OF the two governments to
right their grievances has not yet been
decided. France has lately informed
the United States that the course she
has shaped is one Of extreme patience,
but OF even greater firmness.
1t can be announced that the French
government already has considered sew
eral courses of action, any of which, ii
is believed would bring President
Castro to terms. None will be adopted.
however until Mr.. Root and Mr.. Jusse-
rand have further considered the report
of Mr.. Calhoun. In the meantime both
will bide their time, let.
ting it be known that both are equally
determined to obtain early justice for
their citizens.

Markell IS SHUT our.
Canal Commission Cancels His $5o,-
100000 Hotel Contract.

Panama, Oct. 13. - The last act Of
the Panama Canal commission before
sailing for New York was the annul-
ment of the contract awarded to j. E.
Markell, of Omaha for feeding and car.
ing for the employees of the canal. The
reason for this action is that Chief En-
gineer Stevens, through the depart
ment of materials and supplies under
Messrs. Jackson and Smith, is handling
the commissaries successfully, render
ing unnecessary the arrangement with
Mr.. Market. Protests made by the en-
ployes against the arrangement it is
believed also influenced the decision.

which was put in force Immediately on
the arrival of the governor here.

Senator Long Predicts Much Distress
in Philippines Otherwise.
Washington, Oct. IA. - In the opin-
ion OF Senator Long, of Kansas, who
made the trip to the Far East with Sec
retary Taft and party, the greatest need
of the Filipinos is freer trade with the
United States. The senator talked
with the president today about the
needs of the Philippine islands. He
told the president that, in his judg-
ment, the islands would be in serious
financial condition until reduction OF
duties on their products entering the
United States was made.
Recently" said the senator "the
Filipinos have suffered from the ty-
phoons and drouth. As conse-
quence, their crops have either failed
or been wiped out, and they are becom-
ing discontented. Their discomfort
does not take revolutionary form, but
is simply the result OF existing condi-
tions."
Mr.. Long discussed railroad rate
legislation with the president briefly.
He expressed the belief that the matter
would be disposed of early in the ap-
preaching session.

SETTLES FOR FRlAR LANDS.
Taft Compromises Dispute With Do
minicans at $2.o5o,ooo.


Washington, Oct. lS.-Secretary Taft
has approved settlement arranged by
the Philippine government which COM
pletes the purchase of the Dominican
friar lands in the Philippine islands.
These lands include nearly half .oi
those purchased from the triars and
amount to about 200, 900 acres. After
the contracts were signed, it was found
that a mistake had occurred by reason
off a difference in the Z ,glish and
Spanish versions of surveys. The Span
ish version made the price 5000, 900
more than the English version. 1t also
was found that the titles to eight differ
ent tracts were defective.
While Mr.. Taft was in the islands he
effected compromise by which the
titles were to be made complete and
the purchase money paid according tc
the English version, while the $780,
900 in controversy was to be submitted
to arbitration. Since his return the
secretary has received a cable from
Governor Wright saying that the Do.
minican agents have offered to COM
promise by accepting $4,000. Mr.,
Taft today cabled Governor Wright ap-
proving the compromise.
The total amount to be paid to the
Dominicans is 81, 2,050,00O The money
will be paid in New York about Octo-
ber 20.
