WOMEN OF ICELAND IN THE FRONT
RANK OF PROGRESS. 1t will be q sur
prise to most people to learn that a
majority of the adult women of Ice
land have petitioned the Parliament
now in session to give them the full
ballot. They have already the mu-
nicipal vote. There is no previous in
stance in history where majority,
either of the men or of the women, in
any country, have signed a petition
for anything and the frequent re-
mark that Whenever the majority
of women ask for suffrage they will
get it, is always to be understood
as polite way of saying that the
speaker does not want to give it to
them. But in Iceland majority of
the women have actually asked for it.
lcelanders are an exceptionally in
telligent and law abiding people.
Crime among them is almost un-
known.

NEED OF MINING SAFEGUARDS
Statistics show that in this country
the loss of life in coal-shafts, the
last seventeen years, has beeen 90.
$40, or the sacrifice of three times as
many lives per thousand employed as
in those of most European countries.
The number of fatal accidents each
year is now double that of 1905
This information has been gathered
under orders from Secretary Gar.
field, by Director Smith, Of the U.
5, Geological Survey. The bulletin
shows that in all European coal pro.
ducing countries the output of coal
has increased greatly during the last
ten years, but the number of deaths
per 1000 miners, instead of increas.
ing, as in this country, has under.
gone a marked and decided decrease.
This decrease has been due, the
bulletin says, to the effect of mining
legislation.

PERTINENT QUERIES. =

PERTINENT QUERIES. - Now that
tax-paying time has again rolled
around-in fact it emulates the Holy
Roller in PERSISTENCE few thoughts
regarding the enormous levies will
obtrude. Would it not be well, Mr..
Taxpayer, to inquire how much of
this burden is caused by frivolous
suits in court involving expenses the
county has to pay in criminal prose
cutions? You will doubtless be as
founded by glance over the records
of the Clerk of the Court and the
County Auditor. Then bear in mind
that Olympia has five magistrates,
when the law allows but two, but all
good citizens are expected to revere
the law and respect its administra-
ton, no matter what the results may
be. Reader, would it not be well to
demand fairness and justice?

LOOKING BACKWARD a FORE
CAST OF THE FUTURE. The dream oil
Bellamy is being realized in many
ways, in this age of progress, and
we now read that Mrs. William
Lynch of Mckecsport. Pa, who has
been an invalid fifteen years. and
ever q devout Christian. heard the
sermon entire of her beloved pastor
by means of telephone. while living
in her bed at home, by megaphones
attached as receiver and transmitter.
On the last Sunday in January her
husband had caused n wire to be
stretched between the church and
his residence. BY this means she
heard every word of the invocation,
the sermon and the choral service.
as plainly as if she had been sitting
in her pew, bringing joy and peace
to a heart long bowed down by woe.
1t is proposed to maintain this service
during the regular ministrations here
after in the First Reformed Church,
of which she had been u lifelong and
prominent member. The feasibility
thus being established, it is by no
means improbable that concerts and
addresses of public speakers may be
switched on for the edification and
instruction of parties at nearby
homes and even by the aid of long
distance lines, to be heard in the
homes Or public halls of adjacent
cities.

The Direct Primary League have
made a demand that the Gordon
Mackey suit attacking the validity
OF the primary law, be carried at
once to the Supreme Court. IT'S
well; it is quite proper that the issue
should be met while the mistakes
made and inconvenience met are
fresh in the minds of the people, but il
is safe to assume that delay will only
add materially to the cumulative
evidence that it is very crude and
uncertain way of arriving at the
will of the people.

shown by an attempt of Donkhobors
at Fort William, on Lake Superior.
They came from Western Canada,
and signalized their first public APP
pearance in nude condition, and
the authorities were kept busy night
and day to restrain them from max
ing what they evidently regard as a
holy show of themselves. They
are without money, and a serious
question is what to do with them.
AS they originally came from Russia,
that government has been asked to
bear the expense of sending them
back to that country. SO far, the
effort has been futile.

in transportation activities, and is
the pioneer in the use of engines and
wide-track box-cars which can be

OF enormous power furnish the loco

rance. two prominent lawyers, are
members of the Commission. and
each of the three members draws a
salary of four thousand dollars per
annum The duties of the board are,
however. administrative, and its jul
dicial functions of a very limited
character; for in the final analysis
the courts must decide upon the is
sues of law and fact arising in the
different controversies coming within
the jurisdiction of the Commission
1t has been observed that, from
time to time, the railroad attorneys
have made plaything of our Rail
road Commission law. Contentious
arising before that body get first into
the State courts, then the Federal
tribunal, and end nowhere; mean
while the State treasury is drained OF
its good money, the railroad officials
laugh at the futile efforts of the Com
mission and the innocence of the PEG
pie, who were led to believe that they
would receive substantial benefit from
the Railroad Commission law. The
railroads just heed the proceedings
to the extent of keeping the public
from insisting upon more efficient
measures for affording relief and to
delay real reform.
The law members of the Commits
sion should be able to manage all of
the legal contentious with which that
body has to deal, without insisting
upon one member of the Attorney
Generals staff devoting his whole
time and exclusive attention to the
affairs of that branch of the service.
All that is necessary, is for the At
torney General to sanction the use Of
the name of the State in the legal
controversies before court, and then
let the eminent legal gentlemen on
the Commission proceed and carry
forward the farce to fruition.
Mr.. Lawrence lately said, in his
Spokane address, that the good work
of the Commission is largely pros
pective. At any rate, this Commits
sion has been an expensive luxury to
the State, and bids fair to keep its
record unimpaired for extracting cash
from the public treasury and deliver
ing rocks to the people in return.
