The Flip" OF a Coin.

A New York jury recently decided
a case in which the death of a child
was involved, by the flip" of a
coin in the jury room. The presid-
ing judge was SO greatly surprised
at the verdict that he questioned the
foreman of the jury as to how such
a decision was reached, and was
told that the verdict turned on the
toss of coin. The judge regarded
this as altogether too primitive a
method to be employed in the set
Element of jury cases, and fined
each juryman fifty dollars and or
dered that his name be stricken
from the jury list. AS we'll might
a case be decided by game of
poker" and this could hardly be
regarded as meeting the require
ments of justice, even though the
cards were not stacked" Tossing
pennies in jury rooms evidently has
not come to stay" in New York.

Pledge to Help Make Law.

Resolutions pledging support to
the proposed laws for the proven
ton and control of bovine tubercu-
losis, to be brought before the next
state Legislature, were adopted by
the farmers attending the short
course at the College of Agriculture
of the state university, as follows:
Whereas, the educational work of
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board
and the College of Agriculture at
the University make it apparent
that the question of bovine tubercu-
1osis and its control is a matter of
paramount economic Importance to
the live stock interests of the state,
as we'll as on account of it's relation
to hui man health,
Whereas, this question should re-
ceive the careful consideration of
our next state legislature by the
enactment of properly devised laws
to check the further spread of the
disease and eradicate it,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
members of the Farmers Course as
sembled at the University, Feb. IL,
1908, that we individually pledge
our influence and support to secure
such legislation as will best accom-
plish these ends, and that we will
bring this matter to the attention of
our representatives in the next
Senate and Assembly.

Stone Bridge.

There is picture in the window
of Taggart's Drug Store which has
attracted no little attention. 1t was
painted by John feelings and depicts
a stone arch bridge over the Sacan-
daga River at its confluence with
the Hudson down east in New York
state. The bridge is a solid piece
of masonry and must make a hand
some addition to the surroundings,
and the picture suggests a possibil-
ity Of having such a bridge in the
vicinity of River Falls. We have
here an abundance of good material
"a quarry which contains the best
rock which could be desired, also
we have worknen which are in every
way competent to undertake the
construction. New bridges will be
needed from time to time over the
various waterways of the city and
the surrounding country, and the
iron bridges are hardly thing of
beauty even at their best and in
many cases are entirely out of har-
mony with their surroundings. A
stone bridge built on simple lines, Of
substantial material would la st for
ever and fit into the adjoining land
scape in such way that it's beauty
would not be marred. Then, too,
their construction would mean en-
ployment for men in the city and a
return in a measure of the tax
money which we now send away
whenever a steel bridge is built, and
all the money kept in circulation at
home and every opportunity for work
offered help to build up the town
and make it prosperous.

1t now looks as though Senator
LaFo1lette will enter the next Repub-
lican National Convention as some
thing more than a local candidate,
though with what result cannot now
be seen. We do not believe that
bluff" Uncle Joe Cannon has a
fighting chance for securing the
nomination. The absence of the
unit rule will give Mr.. LaFollette an
advantage which he would not
otherwise possess, as his wide &C
quaintance will give him an occa-
sional district delegation when he
could not hope to carry an entire
state.

The Spirit Of '76.

William J. Cary, successor to
Congressman Often, from one of
the Milwaukee districts, upon his
entrance into Congress found con-
dition of affairs there which he re-
CARDS as really alarming. He says
that the people cannot expect any
remedial legislation from the pres
ent Congress unless the Spirit Of
rs" shall first be aroused through
out the country, and demands made
in tones that cannot be misunder-
stood. 1t is his purpose soon to
issue an address in which he pro-
poses to put the people wise" upon
the subject of Congressional short
comings, with view to awakening
the people to the dangers which
threaten them because of the neg
lect of Congress to do its duty.
The address will undoubtedly be q
"peppery" one, and the subject is
one which nobody knows how to
treat quite as we'll as does Con-
gresham. Mr.. Cary, though new
man in the National legislature has
evidently gathered up enough
pointers" to enable him to tell the
people a few things that will be of
interest to them. The Spirit of
re" will be all right, but it will come
"everlastingly too late" to get in
it's work on the present Congress.

Ambassador Takahira, formerly
Japanese Minister to the United
States, who has just returned as
Ambassador scouts the idea that
war may come between the Unit
ed States and Japan, precisely as has
every other conservative Japanese
statesman. The Ambassador de-
clares that it reflects on the press
of the United States that bellicose
stories should have found their way
into print. With unblushing eff
frontery, some newspapers which a
short time ago were declaring that
war was inevitable are saying now
that it is all mistake, that there is
no danger of war with Japan over
the immigration question, but that
what they meant to say was that the
war would be over the "open door"
in Manchuria. But war they must
have at any price.
