Wisconsin last week adjourned its
1907 Legislative session-the longest
in the history of the state. Towards
the close the legislators became more
or less fdgety-they were anxious
to get home in time to harvest their
crops,-but they courageously stuck
to their duties until the files were
cleared up. Among the important
measures passed we're the "public
utilities'' bill, which gives the rail.
road commission authority to regu-
late and control every public service
corporation in the state, the two-cent
railway fare bill and the bill forbid
ding the use of tobacco by boys un-
der eighteen years of age.

A leading Toxic newspaper.

A leading Toxic newspaper, in com.
menting upon Americas discrimina.
ton against the people of Japan,
China and Korea, suggests the follow.
ing remedy:
The only way to extricate ourselves
from this trouble is to form a COM
mercial union of Japan, Korea and
China, to refuse to do any business
with American business men. Such a
commercial country as the United
States will not be slow to see the folly
of FORGETTING the whole of her far east
ern trade for the sake of the labor
question. Or to carry the commercial
war on a minor scale Japan may we'll
declare boycott against Californian
merchants alone. It is desirable that
the Japanese chambers of commerce
in Toxic and other commercial centers
should work for the purpose.
If these countries we're to adopt this
suggestion no blame could be at
tached to them America is admitting
the scum of southern Europe almost
without question and the general run
of orientals could hardly be worse.

The United States army, according
to official reports, is dwindling down
to a mere handful. It is almost i'm.
possible to induce men to enlist and
difficult to get them to re-enlist at the
expiration of their first term because
of the fact that they can obtain better
wages engaged in other occupations.
But let us not worry over army con-
ditions. Our militia is fully capable
of caring for the country.

VEIL DONE, YOUNG.

: &
Attorney General Young's official
opinion sustaining the constitutional
ity of chapter 4O5, general laws of 1907
the $500, 900 road and bridge appro-
;priation- be hailed with DELIGHT
throughout the state. Mr.. Young
placed a liberal and common sense
Interpretation on section five, article
nine of the constitution. and did not
indulge in any technical hair-splitting
theories. Mr.. Young truly SAYS:
" II the quoted language of the consti-
tuition were construed literally, the
state could not make any improve
ments of a public character, even to
the extent of erecting the state capitol,
university, penitentiary or asylums. !"
The 100000, wisely expended, will
aid materially in improving the high
ways OF the state, especially so in the
sparsely settled districts of the north
ern part of the state. The Union has
faith in the state highway commission,
but the legislature deemed it best to
entrust the county commissioners of
each of the counties to supervise the
proper expenditure of the sums appro-
priated. 1t is expressly provided that
the entire amount appropriated shall
be expended on road and bridge i'm
provement, and no county treasurer
shall retain or be entitled to any por-
ton of any such sum or sums as his
fees or compensation for handling the
same. It is also provided that no
member of any county board shall be
interested, directly or Indirectly, in
any part of such work, nor shall anv
member of said board receive anv adj
ditional compensation for his services
in such supervision.
The Union is earnestly interested
in the cause of good roads and has
consistently maintained that the legis-
lature had the constitutional right to
appropriate money for the betterment
of the public highways. While we
believe the opinion of the attorney
general is good law and good sense,
still another attorney general might
entertain different views. But the
voters Of the state can settle the ques-
ton for all time to come by adopting
the constitutional amendment that will
be submitted at the regular election
in November, 1908.
State Auditor Iverson announces
that he will be guided by the attorney
generals opinion, and will pay all
claims under the act as fast as pre-
sented. Half of the appropriation,
5000, 900, will be available after july
81, 1907, and the other 5000, 900 will be
available after July 81, 1908.
Mile Laos county's share is $4,000,
half of which is available after next
Wednesday, and the other half year
hence. Seven hundred dollars must
be expended each year on the state
road between Milaca and Mile Laos
lake, and the balance where the COM
missioners may see fit to expend the
same.

season, has been sold to Minnesota
farmers. The law requires a reserve
OF 100000 pounds to fill small cash
orders, but there is only a reserve
now on hand of $4,000 pounds and
the factory is working overtime to

The superintendent of the Red Lake
Indian reservation in Minnesota has
recommended the sale of about three
hundred million feet of timber on the
peninsula between the upper and
lower sections of the lake. It has

IS cut and that Indians be emploved
IN cutting the timber. It is said that
the land is adaptable to agriculture
and the superintendent will endeavor
to have it so used after the timber is
removed. He is trying to interest the
Indians in farming, and has already
bought them a threshing machine.

founded the Minnesota town of Little

later that he and several others

name.

Sprung a Leak When Fiji
teen Miles Off Port,
and Returns.

The American schooner Donna
Christina, which sailed Monday for
Belize with a cargo of lumber, put
back into port late yesterday after
noon, having sprung a leak when out
in the gulf and the master, Captain
Mcleod, deemed it advisable to return
to Pensacola for repairs.
The voyage of the Christina to Bel
ize was the first since the vessel
changed hands. She was IN port dur
ing the STERN of September and was
badly damaged. and was sold after
wards by Capt. Alexsen to John A.
Merritt and others. She was then re-
paired at great expense and vas
thought to be in seaworthy condition
when the cargo of lumber was loaded,
but had proceeded only about fifteen
miles in the gulf before leak was
discovered. It is possible that this
may be stopped with LITTLE trouble AID
with only delay of e short time.

Declared Much of the Evi-

Rather Than Facts.
ny Associates Press.

Austin, Texas. Feb. Ex-senator
Bailey, who was on the stand again
today in his own behalf before the
legislative investigating oomittee,
criticised Attorney General Davidson
and the prosecution against him in
general. He denied in detail all of
the charges preferred against him, and
declared that much of the evidence
was criticism rather than facts.
The committee itself objected TO the
reports in circulation of a conspiracy
to arrest H. Clay Pierce, but instead
said they only wanted to ascertain
the degree of his influence over Bailey
and other facts in connection with
the charges.
Senator Bailey continued the story
of financial deals with large corpora
lions and said when he was ap-
preached by the Standard Or Co. on
the subject of re-entering the state,
he gave an opinion that if an at
tempt was made they would be put
in the penitentiary and their property
corfiscated by fines and penalties.
