the instant death of twelve people, the
probably fatal wounding of eight and the
more or less serious injury OF seventeen
others. is ascribed to defective watch.

Norway's "Vox Populi."

Norways answer to Sweden's question as
to the popular will west of the boundary as
to separation Is practically unanimous. In
deed so sweeping is the response. so solid
are the ranks of the separationists, that
NOrways case Is won through Sweden's
maneuver without the least doubt. 1t is to
be questioned If there was ever before so
complete national unanimity on the sub
ject Of partition of sovereignty Norway
has afforded the whole world an object les
son in solidarity and harmony from which
many nations might profit.
The estimated ratio of the plebiscite is
1900 to in favor of separation. the votes
that have been cast In the negative serving
the excellent purpose Of emphasizing the
will of the great mass Of the people. Had
the returns showed solidly for partition
without variation there might have been
suspicion of coercion or fraud. But this re-
Spouse Is Enthusiastically great national up
rising. a spontaneous response to Sweden's
inquiry.
The Swedish movement for plebiscite
was not unwarranted. There was no rec
ord of popular decision on the subject of
separation. AS far as Sweden knew, the
action of the Norwegian storthing might
have been merely a political, factional move
not Endorsed by the body of the people.
Sweden owed a certain duty to the Nor
wegians in thus demanding to know
whether it was the will of the people that
Oscars dual rule should be discontinued.
The Norwegians had in truth been just
bit hasty In stating the demand through
the storthing in advance of a popular vote
on the subject. But, as the case turns
out the result is unaffected.
Separation without a struggle has always
been regarded by the observing world as
fairly assured and this assurance Is now
doubled by the demonstration, on Sweden's
own proposition, of an overwhelming, prac-
tIcally unanimous Norwegian demand for a
distinct government. Sweden's suggested
terms of partition which the riksdag, an
ticipating yesterdays result outlined, are
by no means calculated to cause difficulty
and are already accepted in effect by the
Norwegian leaders. They are. In brief, as
follows:
each side of the frontier separating the
kingdoms, within which the existing forti
fcations shall be RACED and new fortifica-
tons may not be erected.
Second. The right of pasturng reindeer
belonging to Swedish Laplanders in North
Norway.
Third. That the transit trade through
both countries shall be secure. against I'M
justifiable obstruction.
Fourth That the status of Sweden in
respect to foreign powers, as established by
treaty shall be clearly defined. so that
Sweden shall be completely freed from re-
sponsibility for Norway to other states
The Norwegian storthing will meet next
Monday to receive the returns from the
pebiscite. which will be Immediately COM

The Auto Rampant.

The auto rampant is getting in its deadly
work persistently and consistently. Satur-
day a racing machine on a track at Cleve-
land bucked and threw Its professional
driver out and so injured him that leg
had to be amputated. A touring car lin
gered just a fraction of a second too long
on a steam railway track near Poughkeep-
sic, which 1t was trying TO cross. and was
"side-wiped" by the locomotive with the
result that the owner IS now lying between
life and death. A couple of motors grew
competitive in the streets of Harlem, n. Y,
early yesterday morning and failed to no.
tCe that the rest OF the world was stirring.
Consequently one of the racers ran down
a and incidentally killed him. and by
a squirt the occupants of the obstreperous
machine got away from the reach of the law
without identification. Late Saturday night
a rural resident of the neighborhood of
Egg Harbor n. J.. was returning with his
family from picnic when a motor party
came along in a hurry. The farmer was
somewhat slow in realizing the urgency of
the occasion and lost a few seconds in
turning out OF the way when he was or
dered to do SO by the honker. This delay
resulted in smashing of his wagon, the
spiling of his family and the injury of his

dazed of the spilled people had caught a
glimpse of the state license tag and of the
face OF the chauffeur. SO there may be
proceedings.
That is a fairly good two-day record for
one small corner of the country. 1t does
not take into account what the unprofes-
sional motor rampant is accomplishing In
the vicinity of other large cities than New
York. That 1t is doing things in the bone

accepted probable. There is nothing in
evidence to convince the public that a
change has come over the spirit of the
chauffeur's dream of an uninterrupted road
and a f1fty-mile gait.

The South and Labor.

To The Stars question, If the southern

goods TO China to open the gates of this
country to coolie immigration-which is the
real meaning of the program Mr.. WI Ting

matter of amending the Chinese exclusion
law-the Charleston News and Courier

President Roosevelt that the exclusion act

the future. In advising consultation with

possession OF the hard sense and sound
Judgment universally accredited TO him.
This answer is sufficient and Is eminent

sense of this influential southern news
paper. II is to be hoped. too. that the

Again the Extra Session.

Now you see 1t. and now you don't. Now
an extra session of Congress Is on the
cards and now It isn't. Today Is one Of
the days when It isn't.
Two reasons are given why an extra ses-
sion should not be called. One is that moth
ing would be gained by 1t. The session
would be of only three weeks duration
and in that time nothing. we are told,
could be accomplished. But the answer Is
that those three weeks. serving in part
for organizing purposes, would enable Con-
gress to get well under way before the
Christmas holidays; and that should be
good deal in the history of the regular ses-
sion. Usually nothing Is done until after
the holidays. and sometimes the middle of
January finds Congress barely started. An
extra session of three weeks, therefore, If
devoted to little more than starting the
wheels to turning, would be valuable in
vestment.
We are then told that senators and rep
resentatives would be personally inconven-
fenced by the call. Is that reason OF any
force when the country's interests are at
stake? Those men are public servants. sub
ject to call. In asking for office they put
the public's interests above their own.
That Congress should get to work as soon
as possible Is demonstrate IN the uBHt VI
what awaits attention. Fixing railroad
rates Is a problem which alone will consume
good deal of time. Then there Is the
tariff, certain at least of discussion. the
territories will again be knocking for state
hood Additional legislation for the Phil
ippines is reasonably certain to grow out of
the visit of the Taft party to the archi-
pelago. Canal matters are In anything but
a satisfactory shape And there are still
other matters which the President may be
expected to lay before Congress.
Now let us suppose the proposition for an
extra session finally rejected, and Congress
coming together on the regular meeting day
and giving up usual a months time to
organizing and the holidays. What would
the record be likely to show In the way of
business transacted by say August 1? A
new House will be elected In the following
November. and II the republicans have
given the country no valuable legislation
what will their chances be for control Of
the Sxtieth Congress? And should they
lose the next House what would the eff
feet be on 1905? These are interesting and
legitimate questions
