The dual relationships in the United
States are we'll understood at home.
Abroad, they have been from the be-
ginning extremely puzzling.
The British in 1882, when the treaty
Of peace was being negotiated that was
to insure American independence,
could not appreciate a situation which
made it impossible for national COM
missioners to promise prompt settle
ment of debts due English merchants.
Much of the i'll feeling between the
two countries in the early days of the
republic was due to the belief in the
weakness of the United States as a
result of the dual relationships.
The controversy over the Mcleod
case, connected with the western
Canadian rebellion, made the same un-
favorable impression upon the British
in the early '40s.
New York made it's claims so strong
that serious embarrassment threatened
the United States, which, of course,
held the laboring oar so far as diploma
tic entanglements were concerned.
The jeopardizing of the nation S
peace by unfriendly agitation against
the Japanese on the part of California.
and by Nevada s attitude is not new
feature in our history.
Again and again there has been
trouble, when the wider interest of the
whole country has come into conflict
with the local feeling in some COM
monwealth or group of commonwealth.
Nor does there seem to be any way
out of the difficulty except through the
triumph of good common sense and
better judgment over jingoism and To-
cal prejudice.
In most instances matters can be de-
termined without any resort to war.
But the danger is always present that
some foolish agitation in a state may
involve the country in expensive war
fare.
The tendency toward Capitalization
of power is strong enough at best. The
state rights theories find little encour-
dS0ln0HC III JIG OpIuIOu VI the MdSSOS.
But the interest in centralized
authority always becomes more active
when state permits it's own re-
stricted view to obscure the larger one
of the United States.
This is particularly true when a
state Of Nevada.'s peculiar type is
brought into the foreground by belli-
gerent attitude. Fortunately, diplo-
matte circles are much better informed
than was once the case regarding the
relative Importance of the American
commonwealth. Chicago Tribune.

CONTRACT rs MADE
Commission Lets Contract for Monu
ment to Wisconsin Soldiers

The contract for the construction of
the Vicksburg monument, in memory
Of the Wisconsin veterans, has been
awarded to the Harrison Granite Com
pany Of New York, whose bid was
$83,97O. Five other companies bid for
the work, but after day of study the
Commission decided to accept the fig
ures of the New York atelier.
While the figures accepted were not
the lowest, the Commission considered
them the most responsible. The other
bids ranged from 100000 to about
$4,000. The Harrison Granite Com
pany was the house whose plans were
successful in the competition two
months ago The $4,000 includes the
900 the Commission offered for the
lucky designer.
Inc sum appropriated for the mem
orial is 100000. The money left will
be spent for dedication and for patrio-
tic literature. It is planned to publish
a large number Of pamphlets, contain
ing description of the monument, and
a full history of the Eighth Wisconsin
regiment and the siege of Vicksburg
Copies of this history will be placed
in as many Wisconsin schools as is
possible, as well as in the hands Of
those who will attend the dedication
services.
The date favored for the ceremonies
His9cMay %, 1910. On May %, 1868,
one of the most brilliant charges was
made before the formidable city. The
grand army men wish to celebrate the
anniversary Of that event in Che dedi-
cation OF the memorial. The contrac-
tors are under the agreement to have
the monument completed for that date
The dedication will be made a holiday
in the schools of the state. AS many
as possible will be induced to take a
trip to Vicksburg.
IS !" We want good representation at
the dedication,1 said Senator Bird, a
member Of the Commission. eve
shall start up an educational camp
paign. There will be quite a comfor-
table sum of money for this purpose.
We shall print large number Of
pamphlets, explaining the nature and
purpose Of the memorial, and giving
the historic background Of it. We
hope to place this literature in all col
leges, high schools, district schools and
libraries of the state. The event
which we intend to commemorate is
one of the greatest in history, and the
Wisconsin people are patriotic enough
to appreciate it. /"

We are sorry that no effort is to be
made at this time to establish a NUM-
cipal Court in Kenosha. There is no
question but that such court is needed
here and sooner or later we will have
one and with 50 many Of the members
Of the bar favorable to the plan to
establish the court it is a pity that no
one came forward to prepare the bill
for the legislature. After the move
ment was once started there would have
been plenty of support in many quart

There is no truer saying than that
"Charity begins at home" and the
charitably disposed people of Kenosha
should bear it in mind when they are
approached by the solicitors for out
side institutions. Tt is often very hard
to refuse any request for aid, but the
poor at their own gates should be cared
for first by the well to do people of
the city and there is seldom any more
money than is needed to carry on relief
work at the disposal of the local chart
table organizations.

Sleep a self-Suggestion.
From Harper's Bazar

The net point to bear in mind is that
self-suggestion plays a great part in the
production Of sleep. Ordinarily we do
not sleep by accident or haphazard. We
resolve to sleep. We go through a varie-
ty of actions all suggestive of a chang.
from our normal waking condition. We
undress. we place ourselves in a COM
Portable position, we close our eyes. We
believe and expect that we are going to
sleep. and the result is-sleep. One of
the great preventive of sleep is the
fear Of not sleeping. Once this fear
is broken down, we sleep. The insomnia
worries about his insomnia. and this very
worry deepens the mischief Hence. the
sufferer should suggest to himself again
and again: If I sleep, well: if I don I
sleep / will at least gain rest by keeping
my mind calm and my body relaxed" In
q word. our chances Of getting sleep in
crease If we assume the external physical
attitude which corresponds to sleep, il we
relax every muscle and let it stay re-
Taxed, if we breathe lightly and regu-
larly, IL we call UP the ina ginations
Of a sleeping person, and talk and think
sleep to ourselves. repeating silently ana
in q quiet dreamy fashion such a formula
as this: There Is no reason why |
should not sleep. Therefore can sleep.
Therefore l will sleep. My mind is at
peace. Sleep is coming am getting
sleepy. l am about to sleep. 1 am
asleep"
