A scandinavian Nation.

Is il too sanguine. asks the Rockford
Star, to hope for a great Scandinavian
nation one day, and to hail the indie
pendence of Norway as a possible step
in that direction? National union and
power do not come from subsection of
one people TO another. but from volun.
ltaTy and healthy growing together OF
all the people. The first step towards
consolidation of all the scandinavian
states in one nation is federal union.
The first condition of healthy federal
union is equality of its members. The
independence of Norway will put the
three Scandinavian states on an equal
footing of independence for the first
time in their history.
There has been a Scandinavian PEG
pie for thousand years. united by a
common language. institutions. history
and traditions, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. From the time the little
Viking kingdoms began to unite. as
those of the Saxons and Angles united
into England, the three kingdoms have
been either separate or to some extent
subject one to another. Norway en-
joyed native sOvereigns for four cen.
turtles, but elected a Swede to the
throne at the beginning of the four.
teenth. Nearly a century later the
Swedish king succeeded 10 the throne
of Denmark and the three kingdoms
were united for Snort time.
Sweden broke away from this union
to enter gradually upon her brilliant
career under the house of Vasa, but
Norway and Denmark remained togeth.
until the unfortunate arrangement OF
1914, which united Norway with Swe.
den under the Bernadottes Meantime
Denmark has declined in power under
the Schleswig HOlstein line and lost
its hereditary provinces 10 Germany
This loss makes Denmark almost pure
~ Scandinavian. as the loss of POmer
ania and Finland made Sweden so.
The nations are now more nearly akin
than they have been since the primitive
period. Probably Norway is nearest
pure Scandinavian of all. In the 9th
er countries the aristocracy as well as
the royal line has been TeutoniZed by
intermarriage. But it is probable that
the people of the three countries now
have nearly the same blood as they
have nearly the same language and
customs. Nothing prevents their com
ing together but artificial institutions
of kingship and nobility. which be
comes less potent every year TO rule
the destinies of nations.
1t is easy TO imagine the power and
prestige in the European family of a
nation of 100000 people and over
10000 square miles, sitting at the out
let of the Baltic as Turkey sits at the
outlet Of the Black sea. OF course. this
union would not he acceptable to Rus
STA; but il is evident that Russia is go
ing TO have less to say about European

Among the many excellent bills

officers of corporations found guilty of
violating the law. The railroads of
Wisconsin have been among the heav-

corporations. when neither party is hos

The funds employed to wage a cam

principally from the public service cor

reliance there never would have been
