rade the streets as sandwich man,
with placards announcing his church
services pasted over his clothing. There
is a fitness in all things; and if any
where there is a place for dignity and
decorum it ought to be in a body con-
sisting of representatives chosen by the
people to fashion the laws under which
they are TO live.
Our objection to this performance
that is now becoming general is that
it tends to bring the legislative body
into disrepute. 1t increases that half
scorn with which the people are even
now inclined to regard public office.
This April fool business, coming at the
end of a sessions labors, is significant
of an attitude of mind which does not
reflect creditably upon lawmakers or
the quality of the law they make. There
are some things that ought to be done
decently and in order. There are some
places where the very crude American
sense of humor may become degrading.
This is one of them.

SALTWATER

The city council last evening consider
ed the question of constructing a new
bridge across Lake st. Croix between this
city and Houlton to take the place of
the old wooden bridge which is rapidly
going to decay. Legislation was secured
at the past session of the legislature en-
aiding cities of between 10000 and 10000
to issue bonds for the repair or Construc-
ton of new bridges, and something will
be done in the immediate future by this
city. For several years a rumOr has been
current that the Wisconsin Central rail
road company contemplated Strengthening
its main line from st. Paul to Chicago,
so as TO bring the line through Saltwater;
and if this rumOr is true an effort will
probably be made to act jointly with the
railroad company in constructing a bridge
for not only railroad purposes. but as a
foot and wagon bridge as well.

A HUMiLIATING CUSTOM

Perhaps it is a small matter, but we
feel inclined to protest against the
growing custom everywhere of devot-
ing the closing hours of a legislative
body to horseplay, such as might be
expected in the rougher sort of boys
school. This is not confined to state
legislatures, but congress long ago set
the example. Not merely after the
actual work has been completed, but
while it is still in progress. while
amendments are being adopted or re-
jected and the character of an entire
sessions work is being fixed legis-

A SUCCESSFUL CONTEST

With the handing in of the last list
of proverbs yesterday. The GIob e
closed a most interesting and success
full contest. 1t has not been possible
as yet even to number the vast amount
of packets sent in by problem solvers,
but they aggregate several thousand.
Every mail since the date when the last
picture was published has been bur-
dened with replies. Great receptacles
prepared for solutions from city read
ers have resounded from morning to
night with the thud of falling packages.
The contest has awakened an interest
as universal as it was novel, and T e
G o b e feels that the work done has
been highly educational. No enterprise
in which it has engaged has proved
upon the whole more satisfactory, and
none, we feel sure, has been better APP
preciated by our readers.
1t will be the work of many days to
examine, mark and tabulate all these
replies. lue LABOR llNOlNeQ is vast,
since every reply, right or wrong, con-
tanned in all these innumerable letters
must be read and checked and the total
set down to the credit of each Compel
itor. This great labor will be carried
out and completed with the most scru-
pulous care. The judges will then
make their announcement of awards
We cannot as yet state definitely the
date on which this interesting news
may be given out. We may say, how
ever, that it will certainly be at some
time between this and the last of April.
We have been delighted to meet our
readers and friends in this new relation,
and have not been disappointed in our
belief that patrons of The GIob e
would enter into this contest with en-
thusiasm and zest. The successful ones
will be amply rewarded by the grant of
the liberal cash prizes, for whose as
signment our columns will be eagerly
scanned for the next ten days.

involve the distribution of large sum
from the state treasury in all the diff
ferent counties of the state, without
much advantage to their roads. Hard
ly any act of the legislature is more
disappointing. The bill TO tax inheri-
tances and the constitutional amend
ment on taxation are of first i'm
portance and will be discussed here
after The bill prohibiting bucket
shops will most likely become a dead
letter. The establishment of Juvenile
courts is long step in the right di-
rection. Measures that have consumed
most of the time of the session in de-
bate, like that relating to private banks.
free textbooks, the abolition of the
grand jury and others, persisted inglori-
oGsly at the end.
The browning glory or the infinite
disgrace of this legislature will be the
revised code. II miracles can still hap
pen, it is possible that this hasty pud-
ding legislation will turn out better
than most fear and than many believe.
Its enactment to take the place of all
ton on the part of legislators, without
demand by the people, without any
reason set forth, is the most amazing
instance of pig-headed hardihood that
we have met in all the course of prac-
teal politics. When this code actually
goes into effect and its sins of omis
sion and commission are discovered by
the courts, when the jobs show their
heads and important interests have to
rush to another legislature for relief,
the responsibility of this one will be
fixed with curses loud and deep.
The epitaph of this legislature may
be written most moderately by saying
that it did not do all the harm it
could. 1t spent three dreary months
in. pointless debate. short hours and
many adjournments. 1t boggled APP
preparation bills until the final action
was largely a matter of accident 1t
was, we admit, free from scandalous
imputation; and its highest credit lies
in the fact that it elected a United
States senator at the command of the
people, and without paying the slightest
attention to those sinister influences
that only awaited their opportunity.
In these days of mediocre legislation
and public responsibility that sits
lightly on so many shoulders, per-
haps this is high praise and sufficient
to give the late legislature of Mime
sofa a moderately honorable place
among the ruling bodies of American
states.

THE LABOR PROBLEM AT PAN

A protest has already been made by
the knights of Labor against the en-
ployment of Japanese labor on the
Panama canal, introducing complica-
ton into the question of how the ditch
is to be dug that is not likely to be
much considered, for the reason that
ii cannot be. We assume that the
protest of the labor organization is
purely perfunctory; that it entertains
no hope of reserving for the white man
the job of digging the canal. The in
cident serves to call attention to one Of
the features of the job that Mr.. Shonts
and Secretary Taft have taken on that
is likely to give the secretary and the
administration a great deal of trouble.
That the white man should be able
to perform>the work of digging-mean-
ing thereby the heavy manual labor of
the undertaking - in the climate and
under the physical conditions at Pana-
ma is not to be thought Of The
sturdiest of white laborers would not
last long enough to get on the pay roll
if he worked under the tropical sun
and drank Chagres river water. The
blacks of the southern states are not
going to flock in any considerable
numbers to Panama to work harder
than they do in the fields Of Dixie and
for less money. The labor market of
the United States presents no hope of
solution of the labor phase of the I'M
dertaking. Europe is not better field.
for the navvies of Italy are not de-
pendable nor any longer available In
considerable numbers. No northern
cline will furnish the men. There is
no field left for the employment of
labor but Asia.
The Chinese are probably excluded,
though the question of how far our
laws extend over the canal zone has
not yet been determined. We believe
there is question now before the SUI
preme court affecting the right of the
United States to exclude a lottery
which will determine how far the con-
stitution will follow the flag and settle
the status of the Chinese If they are
excluded there is nothing left but Jap
anese coolie labor contract labor
and as to that there is the thirteenth
amendment to be reckoped with. The
Japanese or Chinese would have TO be
contracted for in considerable num-
bers. 1t would be obviously impossible
to deal with the individual But what
guarantees will Secretary Taft be able
to obtain that his contracted laborers
are not bound in involuntary servi-
tude?
Secretary Taft might reply to the
protest Of the knights of Labor by
offering to comply with all their de-
mands if the association viii under
take to furnish him the necessary men.
There is a political kick behind that
protest that it would be wise to dodge,
and Secretary Taft is rather too well
developed to display much alacrity in
lodging.

Contemporary Comment
Consolidation of All Trusts

We are now given glimpses into the
greatest combination of all. Mr.. Harri-
mans purpose is said to be nothing
less than a huge amalgamation of the
Equitable, the New York Life, the
Mutual Life and the Prudential Life OF
Newark. These four companies take
in more than $3.50, 900, 000Na year. Their
combined assets are $1,000, 900. 900. The
Standard Oil group, in other words. is
trying to fasten its grip on this ire
mendous aggregation of assets. If
once the Rockefellers can succeed in
this undertaking, they will have con-
troll of pretty nearly all the available
money in the country. They are in
terested in a group of railroads, in a
group of banks, in the steel trust and
several others; and with their hands
on the assets of the insurance cOmpa-
MES, they will be able to make or break
the markets. to get money when no
body else can, to form new trusts and
secure control of old trusts on which
they have not succeeded in fastening
their grip.-Memphis Commercial APP
