PROF. JULIUS E. Olson of the chair of
Scandinavian languages and literature
in the University of Wisconsin, discusses
the Norwegian Swedish crisis in a COM
prehensive manner. Prof. Olson says:
81 aul not at all surprised at the turn af-
fairs have taken in Norway. To all who
have closely followed the events of the
political conflict between the Norwegian
storthing (parliament) and King Arthur
it has been evident that If he refused to
sanction the bill establishing an indie
pendent consular service, he would place
himself outside the pale of his rights as
the constitutional king of Norway. I'm
der ordinary circumstances the king of
Norway has the right of suspensive
veto twice effective. If three successive
storthings pass bill it becomes law in
spite of the kings veto. But in order to
make veto effective it must be coun-
tersigned by at least one of the king
Norwegian cabinet, for the constitution
says that the responsibility for the acts
of the king rests with the cabinet. This
means that he cannot rule without a
cabinet. In the present crisis the cabi-
net protested against the veto, refused
to countersign it, and then resigned. At
the present time the Norwegians are
united almost to a man, and there has
been no possibility of the kings securing
a cabinet of different complexion. By
insisting on his veto, in the face of an
united storthing, the king found himself
without cabinet, in other words, with
out any legal executive power. In view
of the long and acrimonious struggle
with Sweden for their constitutional
right to act as free and independent
nation, and in view of the scant possibil-
ity of ever being able to secure equal
rights with Sweden in the union, as
guaranteed by both the constitution of
Norway and the act of Union, the Nor
wegian people have seized the psyche
logical moment to proclaim, what King
Oscar by his unconstitutional procedure
has virtually effected, dissolution of the
union between the two countries
Meanwhile the storthing has placed the
power of government in the hands Of the
cabinet which refused to serve the king
What will now happen is of course a
matter of speculation. The storthing
has expressed to King Oscar desire to
elect prince of the house of Bernadotte
as King OF Norway. This would be a
wise thing for the king to consent to, as
it would to some extent allay the bitter
ness of feeling between the two coun-
tries. Ii the king refuses his consent, a
Danish prince may be elected"

The case of Banker Bigelow shows
that justice can move swiftly even in
this country when the criminal makes
no attempt to delay it or evade it. With
in three months of the discovery of the
First National defalcation at Milwaukee
the chief criminal has been deposed
from the high Office he held, has been
convicted on his plea of guilty, has been
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten
years, the maximum under the law, and
has entered upon his punishment. There
are some who complain because the term
could not be made longer, forgetting
that Bigelow is now So years of age and
that ten years in the penitentiary is to
him practically a life sentence. The
mission of the law is to be just, to set an
example, but not to be revengeful, and
considering that the greater part of
Bigelow's punishment consists in his ex-
pose, his loss of reputation and fall from
position, and that Bigelow will leave the
prison, if he lives through his term, a
broken down old man, the general opin-
ion will be that his punishment has been
severe enough.

VICTORY

SENATOR BEvERIDGE INFORMS
woMAN's CLUB STATEHOOD
WILL INCLUDE SUFFRAGE.
Earnest Protest From Women of Lar
annie and From All Equal Suffrage
States Needed by Senate Commit
tee on Territories-Letter to Cor
responding Secretary.

Miss Mary A. Wright, corresponding
secretary of the Laramie Woman's
club, was instructed at a recent meet.
ing of the club to correspond with
chairman of the committee on terri
tories of the senate, relative to the at
tempt to discriminate against women
in the constitution of the proposed new
states of Arizona and New Mexico.
The bill sought to confer suffrage only
upon men, and a storm of protest went
up from the women of the equal suf-
frage states, the Laramie club taking
the matter up early and in a most Wig
orous manner The following letter
from Senator Beveridge to Miss
Wright, received this morning, shows
how well the work of the correspond
ing secretary and of the whole club
vas done:
United States Senate,
Washington, D. c., Dec. 90, 1904.
MY Dear Madam:-In view of your
personal interest as expressed in your
letter of recent date, Directing to the
word sex in the statehood bill, | am
addressing you to let you know the
action of our committee. AS chairman,
l laid your protest. together with other
similar ones. before my committee, and
l am glad to be able to advise o that
the committee unanimously decided to
strike out the Objectionable language,
thus meeting the views of yourself and
others who have similarly addressed
me on this subject. The bill has been
reported to the senate and thus amend
ed by the committee in accordance
with your very reasonable request.
Thanking you for calling my atten-
ton to this matter, and begging that
you will always communicate with me
quite freely upon any subject of legis-
lation or public bolicy in which you
are interested, | am, very sincerely,
ALBERT ]. BEVERIDGE."
The language of the bill as drawn
was very objectionable, the exceptions
chasing women and criminals and i'm
beetles as among those who should be
denied the ballot. The tone of the
chairman's letter indicates that the
trainers of the bill did not know the
unstable character of their building,
which toppled when the s%earchlight of
western equal suffrage was cast upon
it. The letter will be preserved among
the archives of the Laramie club after
it has been cad by each member.
