Prof. Ferrero, the Italian historian

on ancient Roman celebrities. says
that American prodigality is mostly
mythical. Some wealthy Americans
spend their money foolishly, but he

American, luxury and European lux

of rich Americans has come from the

THE SEATTLE EXPOSITION.

The Alaskan Yukon Pacific exposi-
ton was opened at Seattle. Wash, on
the first day Of June by President Taft
who touched the golden key in the
White House. setting the wheels of the
great show in motion. The exposi-
ton cost $1o.oo0,00o. and was built in
two years. That fact is sufficient evil
dence of the energy. enterprise and
progressiveness Of the marvellous city
on Puget Sound, which has trebled
its population within ten years, ard
is destined to become the leading city
of the far Northwest in the next quar-.
ter of a century.
Rt. Rev. Edward O'Dea, D. D., the
Catholic bishop of the diocese of Seattle
made the invocation and Rt. Rev
Frederick w. Keator, Episcopal bishop,
gave the benediction-a fact which
testifies to the Christian character Of
the people in the new community. Mr.
j. ]. HILL the railroad magnate, and
man whose name is beloved in the
far Northwest. was the principa:
speaker. In the course of his adj
dress he said:
This exposition may be regarded
as the laying of the last rail, the dirty
ing of the last spike, in unity of
mind and purpose. between the Paci-
nc coast and the country east of the
mountains. This occasion marks also
change in the conscious attitude OF
the Pacific coast toward the rest of
the country. It would be unjust To
say that this section ever failed Ia

long persisted here a kind Of inltf-
ference about what might be happen
ing beyond the mountain barrier t.
the east. People born here felt it,
tie desire to cross it. Newcomers soon
found the old point of view lost in a
new local interest. The coming of the
transcontinenta railroad first shat
tered this isolation"
Without doubt there will be a great
influx to Seattle and the Puget Sound
country in the coming. months and

portunity of going to Alaska, for il

The stone said to have been found
in Douglas county, Mimi, and now on
exhibition in the rooms of the Chicago
Historical society, reminds us of the
Barney stone exhibited in the Windy
City during the Worlds Fair. In our
opinion 1t is a "sham rock" The re-
puted owner Of this rhinestone is HAL
mar Rued Holland Of Ephraim, Wis,
curator of the Sons of Norway His
torical archives, and he claims that the
inscription upon it proves that Mime
sofa had been visited by the North
men 1870 years before the discovery of
America by Columbus. We do not dis
pute the claim, but we think it strange
that stone alleged to have been dug
UP near Senator Knute Nelson's home
at Alexandra should be carried awav
into Wisconsin II it bore Norwegian
inscription of 1862. It would be more
likely to have gone to the Minnesota
Historical society in st. Paul. Among
the words said to be on the stone are:

ing that the. Norsemen at that time
were devout Catholics. The most dis.

when it comes to.a question of criminal
libel for publication of an article it is
a very different thing. Suppose the
proprietor of a New York paper should

yacht. During his absence a vicious
article appeared in his paper. 1t does
not occur to me that he could be
criminally liable. If the owner is not

the publication and could not possibly
be held guilty of the crime."
The foregoing words of Judge Ander-
son appear to us to be just and right,

World will Undoubtedly appreciate
them. He was off for six months on
yacht for his health and never read
what appeared in the World, and yet
knowing all that Roosevelt assailed him
like fish woman and instead of bring
ing an action in person, which WAS
legitimate for him to do, he got the
government to take hold of it when
his term was on the point of ex-
piring and he left for Africa on a
hunting expedition He and his wealthy
friends are we'll able to pay the ex-
penses of the suit and should have
