Notwithstanding the protest of King
Oscar against the action of Norway in
severing it's union with Sweden, there
is little likelihood of any change of
sentiment or purpose Oh the part of
the former for an Independent govern
ment. What the nature of that gov.
eminent will be is yet to be determin-
ed. Norway is not opposed to king
if he be of the right sort, but there
are kings and kings. The Norwegians
love King Oscar for his many noble
attributes of mind and heart. He is
an ideal ruler and far different from
some of the degenerates who have
occupied the thrones of Europe, He
has grandly maintained the prestige
and high standing of the house of
Bernadottes. He is a man of many
personal charms, is a poet, painter,
musician, linguist and orator. In fact
he is of too much account to be a
king. But Norway's grievance is
along commercial and economical
lines and her statesmen believe that
the progress and best interests of the
people demand separate government
one the policy of which, must, owing
to natural conditions, be at variance
with that of Sweden. In Norway
determination to sever the relations
she seems to be supported by the
masses of both countries, which would
indicate the folly of any attempt on
the part Of King Oscar to prevent the
secession by resort To fnrco

The old settlers over on the coast
do not look with favor on the propo-
sition to erect a monument to Chief
Joseph. A soldier who fought him
says he was no hero, but a cowardly
murderer, and cites instances to prove
his charge. No doubt there are graves
of white men in the sound country
more deserving of monuments.

PRISON LABOR Is NOT
IN RIGHT PROPORTION
Board Finds Labor at Chester That is
Needed at Joliet, and Vice
Versa.

1t may be necessary in the near flu
ture TO assign state prisoners to the
two prisons according TO their occupa-
ton and trade rather than according to
geographical location of their crimes.
This has been brought about through
employment of prison labor by tn"
state in the manufacture of supplies
for the state institutions. For instance.
shoes are made at Joliet and clothing
at Chester. but there are more shoe
makers at Chester than there are a;
Joliet and more tailors at Joliet than
there are at Chester. Similar peculiar
tiles in the trades have been discOy-
cred in other lines of manufacture.
The prison labor board is also having
trouble with the prices of raw mater
ial. Leather. for instance, is going up
and the state institutions are kicking
on paying more for their shoes. Gas
pipe, out of which iron beds are made
is very scarce and high, and the board
is having some difficulty in filling the
acquisitions. On the whole, however,
the prisons are now said TO be fairly
wei employed. and the law is opera
ting with fewer and fewer obstruc-

Happily he was uninjured. With
a ferocious yell he started to his feet
and simultaneously reached back his
hand to his hip pocket.
Hey, don't shoot 'em!" yelled the
spectators in prompt apprehension.
you can have 'em arrested, and then

The man still kept his hand in his
hip pocket, while look Of impotent
rage flashed across his face and he
looked at the vanishing autoists.
