commerce Jurisdiction will undoubt-
edly be taken to the U. s.. supreme
court for a final ruling.
For a National uniyersitx,

A Washington correspondent says
that Congress will probably be as
sailed by a strong lobby OF inteilecG
in the coming session. A movement
has been Launched by the National
Association OF State Universities to
have the federal government estab-
lish and maintain at the National
capital a national university modelled
on tie same lines as the state univer-
stiles, but serving as a graduate
school. The idea has also met the
endorsement of the National Educa-
tional association, which appointed q
committee at its convention in Los
Angeles last Spring, to consider and
report on the subject.
Ever since George Washington first
urged the benefit that would accrue
TO the nation through the establish
ment of such an educational center,
the question has bobbed up with
greater or less frequency. 1t has had
its champions and its ~detractors. The
phase of the question which has PROV
en- the most troublesome is the re-
luctance of real friends of the move
ment to mingle politics with the man
ageinent of such a school. This, they
would be fatal, and they insist up
on the impossibility of keeping poll
itics out.
1t is not generally known that
there is a committee in the Senate
bearing the title of the Committee
en- the University OF the United States
senator Hemenway is its chairman,
but as far back as the mind of the
ordinary man runs, there has never
been a meeting. 1T is one of several
committees to be found in botn
houses of congress, the chief reason
for the existence of which seems to
be their usefulness in providing their
members with a committee room. 1t
is before this committee that the lo1-
by of intellect expects to wage IL
campaign.
The presidents of the thirty-four
state universities are behind the Uni
versity of the United States cam
paign. From all indications there are
stirring times ahead for Senator
H~emenway's almost obsolete COM
mittee.-Lincoln Star.

Tie advantage which the Norway
holds over the Carolina poplar, one
CT the most popular OF cottonwoods,
is chiefly in its greater hardness,
better form and the seemingly SUI
perior quality of it's wood, as is
shown in preliminary studies made
by the United States forest service.
1t will be SOME time before the Nor
way poplar will be available for
widespread planting, since cuttings
of the true variety are at present
very scarce and hard to obtain.

kentucky Safely Republican.

Even the blIndeS ana most Dig
oted of the Kentucky democratic
machine journals recognize thai the
republican victory in that state in
1907 will stick. Bradley, the first
of Kentueky's republican governors,
has a lead in 1895 which no return
ing board dared to set aside. and he
was not only ~inaugurated, but he
served his term of four years. Tay-
Tor, republican. was chosen in 1893,
as Bradleys' successor, but although
he had q lead oil 24ge votes, the
democratic legislature found or in.
vented pretexes on which they set
aside this margin. and gave the
governorship to Goebel, who had
been defeated at the polls.
But the plurality for Wilson, who
has just been elected on the repub-
lican itssct. is too large to be multi
fed under N pre1epse that a Bour-
bon legislature can devise. lie will
be i~naugurated, and will serve to the
end Of his term. The democratic
machine in Kentucky is thoroughly
~aiscredited. Though the democrats
will retain control of the legislature,
the Will of the people this time will
be allowed to stand. Until 1895
kentucky was as safely democratic
as South Carolina or Mississippi.
While Henry Clay's Wing party was
alive Clay's state was usually Wing,
but he and the party died over half
a century ago, and shortly afterward
the state went to the democrats,
and remained with them until recent
times.
The present prospect Is that Ken
lucky will be exceedingly doubtful
In 1908, with the chances rather
more favorable for the republicans
than for the democrats. Something
will depend upon the course of the
republican governor. Mr.. Wilson
is an able, we'll balanced and per-
sonally popular man, who has the
respect Of democrats as we'll as re-
publtcans. Undoubtedly the execu-
tive portion of the state government
will be managed wisely during the
next four years. But at the outset
at least republican control will go.
no farther than the executive. The
legislature and the Judiciary will re-
main In democratdc hands. This will
be an unsatisfactory condition. It
will, to q large extent, balk republi-
can plans for reform In the state
government. A step forward has
been made. however. The republi-
cans have IN excellent chance of car
rying Kentucky for president in
1908. and Of winning control OF the
Legislature before Governor Wilson's
term Observation-Disclosures

CHARLES BARNABY DEAD.
Breed" Indian Had Worked for Hud-
son Bay Company.


Agent Jay Lynch, of the Yakima
reservation, received word here last
night that Charles Barnaby, the gov
ernment teamster at Fort Simcoe, had
died suddenly Tuesday morning, says
the Yakima Republic. Major Lynch
was very much surprised to hear of
Barnaby's death and he stated that
the old man must have expired sud-
denly from an attack of heart disease
Barnaby was one of the most unique
characters on the reservation. In fact,
he bore the distinction of being one
of the men who assisted the Hudson
Bay people when they operated in this
country.
Barnaby was more white than he
was Indian. He has been engaged by
Agent Lynch as teamster at the fort
for several years, and in harvesting
| time served as engineer for the thresh-
| ing machine.
1t is said of him that he was the
first man to run steamboat on the
waters of Puget sound. 1t was dur
ing his connection with the Hudson
Bay company that he ran little tug
boat on the sound.
| The deceased was quite popular
with the Indians on the reservation
He had no Yakima Indian blood ir
his veins and was part French.
The Catholic priest left here thii
morning to hold service over the re
mains of Barnaby, and his body will
be laid to rest in the Catholic GENE
terry today.

The Denver News publishes the
results of a government assay at
Philadelphia of a $40 gold piece
coined at the Denver mint, which
showed a shortage of five cents, not
in weight, but in the fineness or
purity of the gold. The government
inspectors now working on the case
are endeavoring to place the respon-
sibility, as required by law. They
are to report to the president. who
is instructed by law, upon placing the
guilt, to remove the responsible per-
son or persons from office.
A shortage of five cents on each
$50 gold, piece, should the impurity
of the gold be found to be extensive,
amounts to S2500 on each $1,000,000.
At this moment there - IN the vaults
of the Denver MINI, in addition to
vast sums sent away, s56,000.000 in
coin and bullion, of which $4,000
900 is in coin. Those in a position
to lnow say that very little of this
money. or of the money sent out from
the mint is underline. They figure
conservatively that only, a shipment
of 100000 is affected. but investi-
