The recent laying of the corner
stone of public building in Wash
ington TO be used as Bureau Of
American Republics, marks an i'm
portant epoch in the movement for
a uni6cation of the interests of the
Republics of the Western Hemis-
phere. Andrew Carnegie puts up
the sum of $750,000 for the erection
of the building, which will be oc-
cupied and controlled by representa-
tives in Washington of the twenty
one Republics represented in the
Pan-American Congress. This
movement, which we believe was
originated by Hon. James G. Blaine,
is a highly important one, which
cannot fail to be productive of results
beneficial to each and every country
in the confederation. The perma-
nent headquarters of the coalition
having been established in Wash
ington it was fitting that proper ac-
commodations should be provided
for it's use, and Mr.. Carnegie, by his
munifcent donation in the interest
of this worthy cause, has earned
the gratitude of every nation repre-
scented in the combination, not only
for the cash value involved but for
the altruistic spirit which prompted
the generous gift.

The value of the recent conference
of governors at the White House
consists in the agitation of a good
cause, in the impetus given the
movement for the conservation of
natural resources. 1t concentrated
the attention of the country in a
most effective way on the discussion
and developed an influential body
of opinion favorable to certain
definite purposes, and these p1r-
poses must be worked out in both
Federal and State legislation. 1t
was most noticeable at the confer
ence that the delegates seemed to
be infused with the idea expressed
in the resolutions that the independ-
ent States are in fact interdepend-
ent, bound together by ties of
mutual benefits, responsibilities,
and duties" Conferences of the
governors of the States infused with
this spirit ought to be productive of
good and contributory to the soli-
darity of the nation.

ESTHER, THE BEAUTIFULLY
QUEEN"

Song, beauty, and action charac-
terized the two successful presenta-
tions of Esther, the beautiful
queen" at the opera hall last Fri
day and Saturday evenings by the
faculty and students of the Normal
school. For weeks our people had
been charged with expectancy as
they looked forward to the presenta-
ton of the cantata of Esther. The
house could not accommodate all
who wished to attend Friday even
ing so President Brier was Emporium
ed to have the performance repeat
ed on Saturday evening to accommo-
date the overflow. Many people who
were present the first evening re-
turned for the second performance.
The soloistS consisted of Mr.. Jack
as King, Miss Jones as Queen, Mr..
Wright as Mordecai, Mr.. Welles as
Hannah, Miss Campbell as Humans
wife, Miss Eaton, as Mordecais
sister, Mr.. Packard as Hegei, Mr..
Goble as Harbonah, Miss Bulman
as the prophecies, Miss Freeman as
the Persian Princess, Mr.. Corey as
the herald and Mr.. Spencer as
scribe. There were two choruses,
one Persian and the other Hebrew.
The members of the Persian chorus
were dressed in the brightest colors
and were decked with jewelry; the
Jews were clad in black. Constance
Norseng presided at the piano on
Friday evening, arising from sick
bed to be present; she was unable
to attend on Saturday evening and
Georgia Loucks substituted for her.
The two pages were Herbert Loucks
and Robert WATSON; the two maids
attending the queen were Hazel
Lindman and Helen Truesdell; the
two maids attending Haman's wife
were Nina Brown and Claire Free
man; the guards were Mr.. Goble,
Mr.. Mcmahon, Mr.. Bennett and Mr..
Haddow, the child of Hannah was
Jennie Campbell. Each person had
adapted himself so we'll to his part
that it seemed as if his part had
been composed expressly for him.
The cantata in the main follows
the bible narrative. There is, how
ever, no reference to Queen Vashti
nor to the feast of Purim. Bishop
Williams in the April number of the
American Magazine speaks of this
book as "the Goddess and bombastic
book of Esther" as it does not con-
tain single reference to God or to
heaven. The cantata on the con-
trary is as full of sacred references
and Christian sentiments as mod
ern church service.
The beautiful costumes were
rented for the occasion from Chicago
and Minneapolis firms, or were made
in the Domestic Science department
of the Normal School. The designs
for the costumes as we'll as the
directions for the stage were
furnished by Mrs. Truesdell.
The net proceeds, which amounted
to about 500, will be used to defray
the expenses of the inter-Normal
contest which will be held in River
Falls next March.

Historians will state as one of the
notable events Of President Roose-
velt's administration, the first meet
ing of the "House of Governors, "
and it would not be at all surprising
if this conference should become a
permanent annual institution.
There is abundant room for conjoint
action by the several States on
many topics that are of interest to
all, and this method would be far
preferable to that of turning over to
Federal control those things which
properly belong to the State govern
ment.

A lively debate was precipitated

A PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR.

A feeling of gratitude to Our
heroic dead finds expression in an
nually decorating their last resting
places with flowers, thus cherishing
and revering their memories.
The Thirtieth day of May has
been set apart by our people to
manifest a spirit of gratitude by
placing the first flowers Of spring
time upon the graves of those who
fell in defense of our country. This
custom commends itself to all as a
fitting tribute to the memory OF
those whom we love to honor, and
is an incentive to the living to
emulate their example and deeds OF
valor.
1t is due from us as loyal peo-
pie ever to keep in mind, with rev.
erential appreciation, the sacrifices
made by the men who gave their
lives that the Union might be per-
petuated. The participation in
these exercises once each year will,
more than any other act, serve to
remind this generation of the awful
price, in blood and treasure, paid
to insure national unity.
l therefore recommend that our
citizens, join on that day with the
Grand Army of the Republic and
other organizations, where they
exist, in appropriate ceremonies,
and that all take some part in the
proper observance of the day.
In TESTIMONY WHEREOF, ]
have hereunto set my hand
ETAE\ and caused the Great Seal
wv of the State of Wisconsin
to be affixed.
Done at the Capitol in the City OF
Madison, this eighth day of May,
in the year of our Lord, one thou
sand nine hundred and eight.

GOVERNMENT BY THE
PEOPLE.

Governor Hughes, of New York
is making a valiant fight to reduce
to the lowest possible minimum the
powers of the party boss and the
influence of INSCRIPTIONS repre-
sentatives of special interests. In
other words, he is endeavoring to
restore, SO far as may be in his
power, the government of the state
of New York to the people to whom
it rightfulIy belongs. In 1894 the
Empire State adopted constitu-
tional provision requiring the legis-
lature to enact laws for the suppress
sion of gambling. Through the
potent influence of party bosses
representing the gambling interests
this constitutional provision has
thus far been utterly ignored by the
legislature. Governor Hughes urged
that the subject be taken up, which
was done, and the measure defeated.
A special session of the Legislature
was promptly called for the purpose
of having the question again taken
up. Whether or not the measure
will be passed at the special session
is an open question. If not, it is
probable that Mr.. Hughes will be-
come candidate for reelection up
on this issue. The State is suffi-
GENTLY wrought up over the matter
to make uncertain the grip of some
of the political bosses who stand in
with the gamblers.

A New Merchant OF Venice

Last night at Opera House the
high school Seniors put on their
class play to an audience that filled
the room. The play was a bur-
lesque, after Shakespeare's Mer-
chant of Venice. The names of the
characters and the general plot
were followed. Some of the words
of Shakespeare famous comedy
were put into the mouths of the
players, but the similarity ended.
Local hits and modern scenes took
the place of the real work OF the
play. Between acts came the usual
class exercises, the class songs, the
history and prophecy and the will.
All these were written by members
of the class, and were we'll done.
The whole evenings program was
credit to the class. II was run Oft
without hitch, if Shylock did fail
to appear at the proper time in the
first a. ct. However, no one IN the
audience knew it, and the players
did nc t loose their heads, but went
on as though it was a part of the
plot, and the play lost nothing what
eyer by it. Space will not permit
any extended comment on the work
of tn e individuals, but all the parts
were we'll taken and from first to
last aeld the attention and interest
of tn large audience.

THE SLEEPING BRAVE.

Men from whose lifted hand
Once dropped the tool or pen
At Duty's stern command,
Oh, rouse We once again.
Take We these lovely flowers
From garden and from grove,
Children of sun and showers,
Full-freighted with our love.
For you we dare not weep,
Nor for your hatfield days;
The bed where heroes sleep
Is warmed by Glory's blaze.
We count not freedoms cost
Of manhood's or of youth,
But mourn that earth has lost
So much of strength and truth
