CHEHALIs county proposes to con-
test the division of its territory, and
establishing the county of Gray's
Harbor therefrom. 1t is claimed the
late enactment looking to this end is
void, because it delegates legislative
powers to the Governor and Supreme
Court to ascertain whether the State
Constitution has been complied with,
which is solely the province of the
Legislature.

Mr.. BRYAN of the United States,

have arranged for joint discussion
of the principles and prospects of
their respective parties at the pres.

Reader, a periodical hitherto obscure
and almost unknown, that will now
soar like a rocket, under the slim
illus of being the medium of trans
hitting to the public what will
doubtless be the best work of these
master minds.

IRELAND's PATRON SAINT.-The
birthplace of ST. Patrick, whose natal
day is generally celebrated on March
18th, has always been shrouded in
doubt by biographers, which mental
mist the Oregonian dispels by the
explicit statement that Ireland's pa
iron saint was a Scotchman by birth,
and an alien to the country where he
did a great work in spreading Chris
tianity and banishing snakes! In
fact, it is so sure of it's premise that
it affirms that sixteen of his boyhood
years were spent upon the hills and
moors where Bruce and Wallace
fought afterwards for freedom and
Burns sang his undying songs" So
that important matter in history
may be regarded as settled. 1t is UNI
fortunate that this particle of spray
from antiquity should not have been
followed by a flow of intelligence that
would have informed the world of the
year of birth and date of death of one
who between 425 and 493 preached
to ten and twenty thousands of
people" at a time and baptised IL, 900
converts with his own hands, among
whom were the kings of Dublin and
Munster and the seven sons of the
king of Connaught. Before his death,
variously dated from 454 to 493, he
had converted almost the whole of
Ireland to the Christian faith.

THE English have q way of talk
ing down" propositions that are Of
doubtful issue, in Parliament, and
that was the way they defeated o wo-
man suffrage bill, in London, q few
days ago, and the act seeks justifica-
ton under the fact that suffrage was
not made an issue at the polls. The
women declare that it will be at the
next popular expression of opinion,
and they appear to be confident OF
winning.

TURN On THE ton, it
seems, has concluded to at least in
sist upon division of honors with
Chicago in sensational novelties. 1t
is now claimed that five prominent
physicians clustered in the City of
Culture" have succeeded in demon
strating the reality of a palpable,
tangible human soul. They have
had scales built, that are said to be
sensitive to q hairs weight, upon
one arm of which they have placed
the dying subject, and the other is
weighted to an even balance. In the
many tests made, they invariably
found that simultaneously with death,
the opposing weight fell suddenly,
requiring at least an ounce added to
the body to restore it to a balance.
Here is an ocular demonstration of
loss of weight that appears quite
satisfactory to them that some SUBJ
stance so ethereal as to be impalpa-
BILE to vision departs from the body
at the moment of death; and what
can it be if not that long exalted,
but never seen, soul? It seems
to us that these gentlemen are on
the eve of wonderful discovery that
may possibly solve the lingering
doubt of immortality which obtrudes
on many of those wanting in faith
that produces consciousness of things
unseen. Why not bring into service
that wonder, the X-ray, which it has
been shown can penetrate bone,
flesh, sinew, and even a stone-wall to
develop palpable objects. Why not
try it on the impalpable, and if it
fails, endeavor by experimental tests,
to increase its astounding capabili-
ties to outline ETHEREAL entities we
believe to be ever present and kno,o
to exist.

Ais Well That Ends Well.

The Supreme Court of the United
States Monday reversed the decision
of the U. S. Circuit Court for the
Western Division of Washington, in
the case of the Sheriff of Lewis coun-
tv, Washington, VS.. Thomas Brown,
who on trial in the Superior Court
was acquitted on the plea of insanity.
He was, however, kept in Jail by Or
der of the court as person unsafe
to be at large. On failure to obtain
relief from the State Supreme Court
on appeal, he applied to the Circuit
Court, which granted him writ OF
haJeas corpus. on the ground that he
was entitled to a hearing, and in the
absence of such proceedings, his COM
mittment had been without due pro-
cess of law and in violation of the
Federal Constitution. The Sheriff
then took the case to the highest
tribunal.
This decision will have far-reach-
ing effect, as it applies to the Sloane,
Thompson and Mitchell cases in this
State. The State law giving the
Superior Court the right to commit
one acquitted of murder on the
grounds of insanity to the State
prison, to an asylum, or to release
them on bond or free them, was in
an appeal to the State Supreme Court
sustained, which action was over
ruled by Judge Hanford, to be re-
versed by the court of final appeal.
1t is said that unless some entirely
new point is raised to delay commit
tai it will be matter of only few
weeks before these criminally insane
law-breakers will be placed where
their rabies will not endanger proper
ty or life.
THE SALARY GRAB MAY BE IL
LEGAL.-State Auditor Clausen holds
that under the Constitution, the
Legislature did not have power to
increase the salaries of Fire WardenS,
Oil Inspector, members of the Board
of Control, and still others, and he
will refuse to pay these officers any
but the present salaries. He has
precedent for this in a decision of
the Supreme Court, passed several
years ago, when a Fusion Legisla-
ture raised the compensation Of
committee clerks, and a test case be-
ing made it was held that the con-
stitution did not permit of raising or
diminishing salaries during a term
of Office applies to appointive as well
as elective officers. 1t has been
shown that the Auditor has in
"numberless" cases paid increased
salaries carried in specific appropri-
alton bills, but whether these can be
considered salaries in the sense of
permanent official emoluments, is
not determined, and affords no prece-
dent for his duty now.

What Shall We Do With Hime

The Post Higepcer of Sunday, in
support of a plan having its incep
ton with the Philadelphia North
american, which has invited tifty-five
of the leading newspapers of the
United States to contribute directly
in obtaining a consensus of opinion
as to what should be done with Pres
ident Roosevelt at the end of his
term as President, announces its in
tention to cooperate Probably that
form of expression hardly conveys
the idea intended. for all great men
are, to some degree. the architects of
their own fortunes. and it is only to
malefactOrs that choice is denied of
shaping individual destiny to ones
own suiting
The RI. limits all expressions of
opinion to 100 words, so we must be
brief. The STANDARD thinks that
Mr.. Roosevelt has, by opportunity
and drift of circumstances, earned an
enviable prestige, as national peace
maker, and whether it has been by
merit or fOrtuitOus environments, by
true craftsmanship or his high posi-
ton as head of the greatest of re-
publics, it will pass at it's full value
long as his star is plainly in the as
cendant. 1t would seem, therefore,
he might make an admirable Ambas-
sador to some first-class power, pre-
ferably England as the greatest, or
to Japan as the most strenuous, of
nations.
