Where He Drew the Line.

Arthur Herkimer, the Missouri his
torian, told at a dinner in st. Louis
a story about the famous governor,
Claiborne F. Jackson.
Jackson" he said, married, one
after another, five sisters. The thing
is incredible, but it is a fact.
when for the fifth time Claiborne
Jackson preached a marital PROPOSE
ton to his father-in-law, the old man
was so and quite deaf. This is the
conversation that ensued:
"I want Lizzie
"'Hey?
"I want you to give me Elizabeth.
ooh, you want me to give you
Elizabeth, do you? What for?
"'For my wife,
"'For your wife,
"I-want-to-marr
cob, yes. hear you. You need

"'Well, do you consent?'
ayes, l consent said the old man

How Fast HIawatha Ran

Determine how fast, asks Prof.
Greenhill, Hiawatha can run from the
following data:
Strong of arms was Hiawatha;
He could shoot ten arrows upward
And the tenth had left the bow-strlng
Ere the first to earth had fallen.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha;
He could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swiftness
That the arrow fell behind him.
Neglecting the resistance of the air
and granting that Hiawatha could
shoot one arrow a second, the solution
is as follows:
The time of flight of the arrows
shot upward must have been nine Sec
onds. Therefore the velocity with
which they were shot. being equal to
the time multiplied into half the value
of the constant of gravity, was IA feet
a second.
Now. in shooting an arrow from him
Hiawatha to obtain the farthest flight,
would let fly at an angle Of As de-
grees. and by simple trigonometrical
calculation, we, therefore, arrive at the
fact that the horizontal velocity of the
arrow would be rather less than IA
feet a second, and would in fact be
1O2 feet second, or 20 miles an hour.
Hiawatha would, therefore, have to run
faster than this. Could he do It on
sprint?
Again having recourse to calculation
We find that an arrow shot at IA feet
a second would fly ZIG yards, or nearly
a furlong. Hiawatha would run that
distance in about seven seconds, so
that he would be Athletic give the pres
ent holder of the record some AS
yards start.

FINDS ANOTHER FLAW.
Tax Commission Appointed Before
Law Became Effective.

Topeka man called up the State
Journal office today and stated that he
had discovered another flaw in the tax
commission law.
How does it happen he said, that
the governor has gone ahead and APP
pointed the tax commission provided by
law, and the senate has confirmed those
appointments, when the law under which
the appointments weres made does not
become effective until July L? 1t seems
to me that the present tax commission
appointed will have sto be reappointed
after July 1. to give them any authority
and that they will then hold office only
until they can be confirmed by the SEN
ate''
This proposition was presented to S.
c. drummer, one of the members of the
new commission and also secretary to
Governor Hoch.
This appointment tand confirmation
will hold without any further proceed
ings." said Mr.. drummer. 1T was the
intention of the legislature that the
governor should make the appointment
at once, without waiting for the law to
go into effect, and this intention was
followed. Nothing further is neces-
sary.''
There might still be some ground for
discussion as to whether the intention"
of the legisla ture could be fully estab-
lished, as there is nothing in the law Is
indicate Just what was intended.

U. S. RANKS THIRD.
Big Increase in Exports of S1anufac-
tured Products.

Washington, March 22.-The United
States now ranks third among the
worlds exporters of manufactures, ac-
cording to a monograph on exports
of manufactures from the United
States and the distribution" issued to-
Gay by the bureau of ste tiStic5 of the
department of commerce and labor.
1t is shown that not only do the eX-
ports of manufactures Exceed $780,
100000 per annum and have doubled
in value in single decade, but the
share which products of the factory
form of the total exports is steadily
increasing. A comparison shows that
in 1880 manufactures formed but Is
per cent of the total exports of do
mestic products, while in 1906 they
formed 40 per cent.
With the rapid increase of popula-
ton in the United States and consump-
ton of natural products. the quantity
of food and raw materials remaining
for distribution to the other parts of
the world has not increased proper
tionately; and with the development
of manufa curing centers production
of manufa ctureS has rapidly increased
and the surplus of these manufa ctures
which may be spared for foreign mar
kets has also increased. Food stuffs
which in 1890 formed AZ per cent of
the total exports of domestic products
formed in 1906 but 81 per cent; arti-
cles in a crude condition for use in
manufa curing. which in 1890 formed
50 per cent Oh the lOlai, turned III
1906 but % per cent; while manufac-
lures increased their share in the ex-
ports from 21 per cent in 1890 to 40
per cent in 1906.
In the decade ending with 1905 ex-
ports of manufactures increased 19S
per cent, while those of Germany in
creased IS per cent; United Kingdom,
40 per cent, and from France, IS per
cent.
The growth of exports of manufac-
lures in the sixteen years following
1890 was practically three times as
great as that of the entire seventy
years preceding that year.

1t is said that evidence leading the

An investigation by the railroad Off

Finds People Enthusiastic for Pro-

&, Southwestern railroad. is to address

and it is thought that at this meeting
funds viii be subscribed for the pre-
liminary survey of the line from Will
lis to this city Mr.. Taylor was in Will
lis last night. where an enthusiastic
meeting was held. after which COM
mercial club of fifty members was or
ganized for the purpose of assisting
in securing the line.
In speaking of the project Mr.. Tay-
lor said: "I have met with the hearth
est cooperation all along the line, and
the money for the preliminary survey
has been subscribed for all but about
ten miles of the proposed road. and
there will not be any trouble about
this as soon as I can meet the people
in the territory through which it will
pass.

realize the benefit to be derived from
the road, and they are placing their
shoulders to the wheel and it is not at
all unlikely that this will be one of the
first lines cOmDleted."

HOCH IN A QUANDARY.
Governor Face to Face with Old Sol
der Preference Law.

The old soldier preference law is
/ working overtime nowadays. For near
/ ly every appointive position an old sol
der applicant is rising up to demand
| the place under the law enacted at tue
] recent session.
Even Governor Hoch is mixed UP in
| the affair, and all over the appCin ut
ment of a messenger in his office. The
| state house messengers. The other
messenger is supposed to be the esp-c-
ial perquisite of the governor.
John Kitchen, who is old solder
and does a good deal of work for the
state house politicians, is after the Job.
and it is said that he has given It out
fiat to Governor Hoch that he wanted
/ the job, wanted it bad, and would in
woke the old soldier law to get it, If
necessary. This system of getting /
job, it is said, displeased the COVER
nor, and he is not as favorable to
Kitchell as he might otherwise be.
1t is quite possible, however, that if
Governor Hoch turns down Kitchall
for the place, and names somebody else
who isn't an old soldier, the Grand
Army of the Republic, under the lead
ership of Department Commander P.
H. Coney, will move on the governor
with legal proceedings and endeavor to
have him impeached. The law provides
that an official who violates the prefer
ence for old soldiers may be impeaGh-
ed. There is also a fine of from IS to
$25 for additional penalty.
The following is the old soldier pre-
ference law, as amended at the last
session of the legislature. which re
came effective on February 13, 1907:
