Electric Road News.

Down at Postville meeting was
held recently for the purpose of hear
ing the report of committee of citi-
zens who, like our local committee, have
been at work to secure and help the
road through Postville.
The committee reported that all the
farmers along the two proposed routes
were willing to donate the right of way
along their land, bnt suggested that a
more feasible route could be had and
Mr.. Mason was requested to send an
engineer to go over this route and make
a permanent survey.
BY request of the meeting one of the
committee, T. w. Roberts, went to
Minneapolis to consult with Mr.. Mason,
and of his trip the Postville Review
| writes as follows:
Mr.. Roberts returned from Minneap-
oils last night accompanied by civil
engineer sent here by Mr.. Mason, and
in company with the local committee is
out today over route proposed by the
said committee between here and
Frankville. The engineer will report
to Mr.. Mason on the feasibility of this
route, and if this preliminary survey is
made permanent Pestyille will be there
with the goods to guarantee the right
of-way.
Mr.. Roberts is fully convinced that
the Dan Patch Air Line is sure thing,
J the engineers now being engaged in
making the permanent survey between
Minneapolis and Owatonna.
All hail! the electric line! Everybody
boost, and nobody knock, and let us
take in the good things as they come
along.

Treaty and States Rights.
Discussing federal and state author
ity, as affected by the treaty, Mr. Root
said:
1T has been settled for more than a
century that the fact that a treaty
provision would interfere with or an.
null the laws of state as to the aliens
concerning whom the provision is
made, is no impeachment of the
treaty's authority.
1.-THE very words of the constitu-
tion that the judges in every state
shall be bound by treaty anything
in the constitution or laws of any
state to the contrary notwithstand-
Ing necessarily Imply an expectation
that some treaties Will be made in
contravention of laws of the states.
Far from the treaty-making power be-
ing limited by the state laws, and
whenever it deals with the same sub
ject, if consistent with the law, it an.
nuls the law. This is true as to any
laws Oh lIl6 SIdlGS, WuSGleI IHS lSSlS-
lative authority under which they
are passed is concurrent with that OF
congress or exclusive OF that of con-
gress.
What States Cannot Do.
mo state can set up it's laws as
against the grant of any particular
right, privilege or immunity any more
than against the grant of any other
right, privilege or immunity. No
state can say treaty may grant to
alien residents equality of treatmen,
as to property, but not as to educa
ton, or as to the exercise of religion
and as to burial but not as to educa
ton, or as to education but not as tt
property or religion. That would be
substituting the mere will of the stats
for the judgment of the president and
senate In exercising power com
mited to them and prohibited to the
states by the constitution.
There was, therefore, no real ques
ton of power arising under this Jap
anese treaty and no question of state
rights"

 Is it wise to maintain 275 life saving stations along our coast at a little more than million and a half dollars, and out of the same pockets and under the same fiag maintain 25,000 licensed life de- stroying stations at a cost of two billion and half? Surely some governors do not think so from recent events.

The development OF this branch of the

full. There are now three large dormi-
tories, three school buildings, and a new
dining hall seating 400 students. There are
II departments of instruction and So offl-
GERS and teachers. The schools of Domes-,
tic Science and Manual Arts are handsome
lyhoused and equipped. The Department
Of Music includes instru ction in Common
School Music teaching, chorus singing, the
piano, and the stringed instruments. The
School Orchestra numbers Is pieces, The
most wonderful thing about the school is
the small expense Of the school year.
These charges have kept down to the low
est possible figure. Thus hundreds of stu
dents get wholesome, practical, sensible
education there, who could not afford to
attend other schools. The graduates are in
demand at good salaries everywhere Two,

STATE WITNESSES LIARS
Declare Defendants in Noted Lynchinq
Case, in Attacking the Testimony
Given by SqueaIers.

The defense in the case Of the twen-
ty citizens of Arson county, charged
with the lynching Of J. V. Johnson; at
Wadesboro, the night Of May 30th,
1906, now being heard in Union coun-
ty superior court, at Monroe, N. c.,
began the introduction of testimony
Wednesday, concentrating its efforts in
an attempt to impeach the evidence
given by the witnesses for the state.
T. R. Tomlinson, the officer who
arrested H. D. Kendall, member of
the mob, who turned states evidence,
testified that Kendall told him that he
(KendalD was at home on the night
Of the lynching; that late that night
he heard the noise made by the crowd
passing his house and went out to his
gate to investigate, but could not rec
ognize any member of the mob.
C. J. Gathins testified that, aroused
by the noise made by the lynchers, he
went to a point near the Jail, but saw
no one on horseback. Kendall testified
that he rode to the Jail with the mob.
On cross-examination witness admitted
that the night was so dark he could
not have seen horse if one had been
there.
Several witnesses testified in rsfuta-
ton of Sheriff Bogan's testimony that
the sheriff had stated to them that he
did not recognize any member of the
mob the night Of the lynching. Began
stated on the stand tina. he had given
evasive answers to several inquiries as
to his recognition of the lynchers for
reasons of personal safety, threats hav-
ing been freley made against states
witnesses prior to the first trial. O:her
witnesses swore to the alleged bad
character of the senior Kendall, but
admitted on cross-examination that
they considered his character good

SMITH AFTER RAILROADS.
GEORGIA Governor Sends Special Mes
sage to Legislature Urging Changes
in Methods of Their Taxation.

The passage of legislation which will
require the railroads Of Georgia to
pay taxes to the state on exactly the
same valuation as that given by them
as a basis for freight and passenger
rates was urged in a special massage
sent to the general assembly by Gov.
ernor Hoke Smith Wednesday.
That railroads operating in Georgia
have given in the value of their prop
erty at one figure for taxation pur.
poses, and then in resisting orders OF
the railroad commission for lower
rates have sworn to much higher val
uations is pointed out, the Southern
railway and the Central of Georgia be.
ing cited as instances.
Last year the Central, says Governor
Smith, returned it's tangible property
and it's franchise at s16,S23,S5O, while
during the hearing before the federal
court Vice President w. A. Winburn
swore that "the cost of reproducing
it's lines and therefore the present ac-
tual minimum value of its lines and
equipment is s33, 3,666,999."
In like manner Governor Smith
shows that the Southern returned its
property in Georgia at $14,SS4,923, but
that Vice President J. M. Culp swore
that "the cost Of. reproduction and
therefore the present minimum value
is s4S,150,00Q." That the Southern IS
now resisting an assessment of 6,000,-
coo by the comptroller general was
also shown by the governor.
Governor Smith then goes on to state
that under the present law arbitrators
are not SWORD and are given no author
ity to swear those who come before
them. If arbitrators were given the
authority to make railroad officials give
in the value of their properties under
oath, Governor Smith says they could
be forced to swear to the same valua-
tons which they give when resisting
rate reductions.
