Those Southern night-riders do not
confine their animosity to the tabacco
trust The victims OF the Tennessee
murder bee were men who had given of
tense by insisting on the enforcement
of the game laws.
The American "Jackies" didn't paint
Toxic REQ when they landed. The wei
coming japanese did it for them, and
the visitors fraternzed' with their hosts
in a blaze Of glory" Capt. Hobson
should make note of this fact.
Europe's "cold spell'' is a forerunner
of similar experiences in this side Of the
Atlantic. But it is to be hoped that
rains will be experienced before winter
sets in, as farmers cannot do fall work
because of the fintiness of the drought
Darched soil.
Surgeon General Wyman thinks that
the source of recent typhoid visitation
in Georgetown, ID. c., is a woman mixer
who has been capable of communicating
the germs since she had the disease
eighteen years ago. This looks like an
alarmist conclusion. 1t is certainly inn
portant if true
The Mexicans have refused to enact
the article of the proposed NEW mining
law which provided that all mining com
panies should be Incorporated under the
laws of Mexico. The enactment of such
a provision would have been regarded
as a serious step toward the discourage
meut of American investments in Mex
leo.
The first fatal mistake of hunter for
the season of 1908 is reported from Chip
pewa Falls, where a man took another
for a bear and fired into the brush, kill
ing him instantly. When the woods are
overrun by hunters looking for game it
is criminal to fire into thickets on the
supposition that moving object is a
game animal.
As might have been expected, the at
tendance at the night high schools is
large enough to warrant the belief that
they will soon have to be enlarged in
scope. The desire for an education is
strong in American youth, and propin-

schools are opened either for day or
night courses.
Nebraska's blue laws having been sus.
tanned by her supreme court it is now in
order for those who object to the pro-
visions Of the troublesome statutes 10
repeal them by the regular legislative
process The decision of the court will
be Of assistance, in accordance with the

The first shipment of coal from the
Routt county coal fields was received at
Denver with great ecat. The supply
of fuel now available for Colorado and
other states of the West, through the
building of a railroad into the Routt
county diggings will bring about re
markable economic changes. The Colo
RADIO coal is said to be almost as good
as anthracite.
A dock slide at Manitowoc, where one
hundred tons of coal went into the river
with dock that had been undermined
as a result of deep dredging, illustrates
what would happen in Milwaukee were
a twenty-foot channel dredged near some
of the old-time docks upon which the
rear walls of buildings practically rest
A good many docks along the lakes rest
upon short piling which was sufficiently
long when the channels required We're
only twelve to fourteen feet deep.
The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
company's announcement that it will
build another line through the grain-rais-
ing provinces of western Canada to the
coal district of southern Alberta is in
fulfllment of implied promises that Were
made when settlers began to pour into
the new agricultural section. The rail-
roads generally lead in the settlement of
countries, and where settlement preeedes
transportation facilities the farmers are
never without help in that line for any
great length of time.
