BONDS FOR UNIVERSITY

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 25-As narrated
in this correspondence, the university
people found themselves in dilemma
over the bill by Mullaley providing
for a tax of three quarters Of a mill
for the purpose of raising money for
rebuilding the main building des-
tIoyed by fire last year. 1t was found
the supreme court had indirectly de-
cided that money raised by direct tax.
tion could not be used for building
purposes. The executive committee
of the board of regents think they
have got over that difficulty, their
plan being incorporated in the bill
introduced by Mullaley. 1t provides
for a short term bond issue of $780,
900 to be paid of by levy of three
quarters of a mill.
OF these bonds, ESQ, 900 is to Be
issued In September next and $40, 00O
in September, 1908.
They are to run two years, but may
be paid at the end of six months. II
is estimated the tax this year will
take care Of the first issue of $50, 00C
next January and that the next issuc
will be taken up year lister.
The issue was divided because To,

Paris, Feb. 25.-The clerical or
gans have united in declaring that
Cardinal Richard, archbishop OF Paris,
will not submit the new proposals of
the government regarding church
leases and their Rome dispatches cate
gorically insist the Pope Plus is re-
solved to maintain integrally the
original text offered by the French
episcopate and to refuse even to dis.
cuss the governments regulations
relative to the liability of parish
priests for the keeping up of churches
and the exclusion of foreign priests or
members of the dissolved orders as
parties to contracts. Whether these
inspired statesmen are only part Of
the diplomatic game remains to be
seen.
Premier Clemenceau now admits
frankly that as far as he is concerned
he never expected the church to ae-
cept the conditions as to leases. but
he says that Minister of Education
BRAND did and that the cabinet
unanimously accorded him a chance
to conclude the negotiations upou

Growth of The Farmers Union.

The recent announcement that the Farmers, Educational and CO., operative Union has increased it's membership in Mississippi by B. 900 during the past six weeks, is some indication of the remarkable growth of this organization through out the entire country. It was estimated some time ago that the membership exceeded a round mil liJn, and it is by no means improb- able that even those figures have long since been passed.
 The information from Mississippi it to the effect that the growth has been so rapid that special injunc- tions have been given that no unde- sirable members should be taken, and this policy has been rigidly fol- lowed. But in spite of the care and discrimination which is exer- cised there seems to be no limit tc the growth of the National Union
 If he Farmers Union will stand together, they will be able to ac- complish much for their own well fare and for the welfare of the ag- ricultural interests of the whole country. It is a compact and pat riotic organization, with high ideals and the courage of it's own con- victions. It is capable ofbecoming a powerful factor, for instance in the maintenance of a higher leAsel of prices for cotton and to this end. we have no doubt, it will largely di- rectits attention.-Atlanta Journal.
