TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION
KNOCKED OUT.
Missouri Counties Affected By
Supreme Court Decision.

Jefferson City, March 30.-The su-
preme court to day in an opinion
filed by Judge Burgess in Division
No. 2, decided the township organi.
zation case from Linn county. The
decision OF the court knocks out the
organization in that county because
1t was not adopted In mpliance
with the constitution In that a ma
jority Of the total vote cast In the
county was not cast for the propo-
sition. A majority of the votes cast
on that particular proposition was
favorable, but the court says ma =
iority Of all the votes cast at the
election was necessary, under the
constitution, to provide towns hip
organization. At the time Linn
county voted on township organizs-
tion the statute was In conflict with
the constitution.
The statute provided that ma
jority Of the votes cast on that one
proposition was necessary to adop t
it, while the constitution said th at
II required a majority OF all the
votes cast at the election. This de-
feet in the statute was remedled by
the legislature in 1902, and tits now
in conformity with the constitution
The case decided was the proceed
ings begun by Prosecuting Attorney
Berns Of Linn county to oust NJ. L.
Gibson, township clerk, and ex.officio
assessor OF Locust creek township.
"The salient points In this contro.
versy may be briefly stated" said
Judge Burgess. "The constitution

This provision Of the constitution
was not selienforcing. 1t required d
the enactment OF q law to make the
constitution effective. The general
assembly therefore passed a statute

statute declared that township or

CUBAN INTERVENTION.
We Wish Nothing Of the Island Save
That Il Prosper.

|
Last August an Instruction broke
out in Cuba which it speedily grew ev-
ident that the existing Cuban govern
ment was powerless to quell. This
government was repeatedly asked by
the then Cuban government to inter-
vene and finally was notified by the
president Of Cuba that he intended to
resign, that his decision was irrevoca-
BILE, that none Of the other constitu-
donal officers would consent to carry
on the government and that he was
pOwerless to maintain order. 1t was
evident that chaos was impending, and
there was every probability that If
steps were not Immediately taken by
this government to try to restore order
the representatives Of various Euro
pean nations in the island would apply
to their respective governments for
armed Intervention in order to protect
the lives and property of their citizens.
Thanks to the preparedness of our
navy. was able Immediately to send
enough ships to Cuba to prevent the
situation from becoming hopeless, and
furthermore dispatched to Cuba the
secretary Of war and the assistant Sec
rotary Of state In order that they might
grapple with the situation on the
ground. All efforts to secure an agree .
ment between the contending factions
BY which they should themselves come
to an amicable understanding and set
tie upon some modus vivendi, some
provisional government of their own.

such by technical Industrial education.
The far reaching usefulness Of insti-
tutes Of technology and schools of
mines or Of engineering is now uni
versally acknowledged, and no less
far reaching is the effect Of good
building or mechanical trades school, a
textile or matchmaking or engraving
school. All such training must develop
not only manual deXterity. but indus
trial intelligence. In International RI
valry this country does not have to
fear the competition Of pauper labor as
much as it has to fear the educated
labor OF specially trained competitors,
the hand, eye and brain which will tit
us to meet such competition.
In every possible way we should help
the wageworker who tolls with his
hands and who must-we hope in a
constantly increasing measure-also toll
with his BRAIN Under the constitution
the national legislature can do but lit
tie of direct Importance for his welfare
save where he is engaged In work
which permits it to act under the in
terstate commerce clause of the con-
stitution. and this is one reason why
l so earnestly hope that both the leg
islative and judicial branches Of the
government will construe this clause
of the constitution in the broadcast pos
sible manner. We can, however, in
such Il matter as industrial training, in
such a matter as child labor and fac
tory laws. set an example to the states
by enacting the most advanced legis-
lation that can wisely be enacted for
the District Of Columbia.

all acquainted with the facts. Through
the Red Cross the Japanese people sent
over 100000 to the sufferers of San
Francisco, and the gift was accepted
with gratitude by our people. The
courtesy Of the Japanese, nationally
and individually, has become proven
bal. To no other country has there
been such an increasing number of
visitors from this land as to Japan. In
return Japanese have come here in
great numbers. They are welcome, So
cially and Intellectually, in all our col
leges and institutions Of higher learn

bodies. The Japanese have won in a
single generation the right to stand
abreast of the foremost and most en-
lightened peoples of Europe and Amer
lea. They have won on their own merits
And by their own exertions the right

frank equality. The overwhelming
mass Of our people cherish lively re-
yard and respect for the people Of
Japan, and in almost every quarter Of
the Union the stranger from Japan is
treated as he deserves-that Is, he is
treated as the stranger from any part
Of civilized Europe is and deserves to
be treated. But here and there most
unworthy feeling has manifested itself
toward the Japanese-the feeling that
has been shown in shutting them out

An extraordinary spectacle was Witness
ed yesterday in a run on one OF the
soundest and safest financial institutions
in the country. the Washington Loan and
Trust Company. No less extraordinary
was the reinsurance that came promptly
from all quarters-even from the govern
ment itself, through high oficiaIs-to
quiet the alarm Of excited depositors.
Such a tribute to a financial institution
has seldom been paid anywhere: and this
may be, In fact, the only instance where
the United States Treasury. speaking di-
Tectly through officials OF the Comptrol-
ler's Office, In person and on the scene. has
so quickly and UnreservedIy vouched for
the soundness Of a banking or trust COM
pany. In addition to this all the other
banks in Washington offered aid in any
amount needed. and not few Of them
even went so far as TO refuse to open ac-
counts with the excited people who.
