CONGRESS IN EXTRA SESSION.

When William Howard Taft will
have become president Of the
United States he has authorized
the statement that he will cal Con-
gress in extra session March 18th
or eleven days after he has been
inaugurated. 1t will be remem-
bered that as soon as the lamented
Mckinley had been inaugurated
president he called Congress to-
gether for an extra session to con-
slider the financial situation despite
the fact he had been elected on the
tariff issue. Taft, who has just
bee nelected president on the finan-
cial question, is to have an extra
session of Congress to consider the
tariff question.

TWO GREAT MEMS MEMORY.

Last Friday every nook and cor
ner of the civilized sections of the
United States paid homage to the
memory Of Abraham Lincoln, the
savior of his country, the occasion
being the one-hundredth annivers-
airy Of his birth. Next Monday the
entire nation will pay homage to
the memory of George Washing
ton, the father of his country, the
occasion being his regular birthday
anniversary. The days on which
both Of these great American lu-
minaries first saw the light have
been made national holidays, thus
perpetuating their memories so
long as this government of ours
shall stand.

ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.

Arizona and New Mexico, the
two territories that have so long
fought for separate statehood, are
about to realize their long cher
ished hope, as both branches OF
Congress have passed an enabling
act to that effect. In admitting the
territory Of Arizona it has been
suggested that the name be
changed to that Of Lincoln, which
would be a fitting statutory COM
memoration to the memory of the
great and good Abraham Lincoln,
the savior of his country. Uncle
Sans original territories are rap.

only remaining to be admitted. In
the very near future the newly ac-
CURED insular possessions OF the
United States will be shaped into
territorial forms Of government,
which in the course of time will be
admitted as states of this union.

decision put on record in St.
Louis by Circuit Court Judge
Williams. The decision was
Forthcoming when one c. H.
Buel and wife claimed damages
from the street car company for
the death of their four months
old boy, whom they claimed died
from the results of an accident
which occurred before he was
born. The Judge quoted Genes
is End CHIP. 7th ", and decided
that the child in question, was
not a person at the time of his
mothers accident five months
prior to birth. 1t is indeed graft
flying to learn just when a baby
does become a person, and if
someone will designate just
when a person becomes a baby,
it will be of much benefit to
many grown ups, or at least to
the persons who daily meet them
in the business world.

CHIEF GERONIMO DEAD.

In the passing of Geronimo, the
famous Indian chief who gave the
United States government so much
worry before he was finally cap
tured by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the
last one of the remarkable Indian
leaders of this country has gone to
the "happy hunting grounds. !"

this entire continent, has not been
completely wiped out nor is the
race exactly extinct, but both are

KNOX IN MUCH DEMAND.

That United States Senator Phi
lander G. Knox is a most estima-
BILE public servant is manifest in
the desire Of President-elect Taft s
insistency of him leaving the SEN
ate and becoming a member of his
misunderstanding of State-and
the reluctance with which the SEN
ate gives him up. Senator Knox
will be a fitting successor to Secre-
tary Root, who has guided the ship
of state well under the Roosevelt
administration. Senator Knox
has been in the public eye for a
great many years, and few men
have run the gauntlet Of public
criticism without having his off
cial ermine smirched so well as he
and as secretary of state a bril-
liant success is predicted for him.

ideas were given credit for much
opposition to crematories for
treating the bodies of the dead,
by the late James B. Brown,
promoter of the same. The pub
lie agrees that the present sys-
tenn is unsanitary. 1t agrees
that cremetories often fall into
disrepair. Many admit that the
process of cremation is but the
removing of water and some
gases from the body. Yet few
wish their loved ones cremated.
However, the opinion, that Gre

spread if not general.

is LIBERIA GOING TO PIEcEs2

Should the United States assume
a direct protectorate over Liberia,
is a very much discussed question
Just now. If after all these years
this republic is now lettering to
it's fall from "dry rot" as it was
instead of from a foreign foe,
then it seems that it's not in the
books for it to do anything but to
be an utter failure. Ii the United
States should throw a protecting
arm around it nothing more than
a prolongation of a painful exist
ence would be the result, and the
sooner it is permitted to fall OF its
own weight the sooner will that
unhappy republic and likewise its
sponsors be out Of trouble. This
is said taking it for granted that,
it is a fact the Republic of Liberia
is about to go to pieces on account
of internal broils.

CURRENT COMMENT.

SALOME," the Strauss
Opera, based upon Oscar Wilde's
play is creating quite stir in
ministerial circles in the East.
The management say that the
play is not immoral and thatit is
a work of art, Furthermore.
that they believe the public will
view the production as an artist
ic work of art. True art is a
lovely thing, but one has to be
educated along certain lines to
appreciate some phazes of it. To
one who has an exceeding broad
conception of the artistic in de-
tail, "Salome" may appeal as it's
supporters claim for it, but to
the masses a spade is a spade,
and not garden utensil.
Hence the atmosphere created
for such persons witnessing the
play, would be any but q desir-
able one. The question then is,
why put on the American stage
doubtful, suggestive, plays,
when there is a superabundence
of wholesome ones to be had?

ARE GREAT CORPORATION ENE-
MES?

How strangely remarkable that
the great interests of this country
are now being viewed by the great
mass of citizens from Maine to
Mexico and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, in the light of public
enemies rather than benefactors
as they should be and verify are if
those at the heads Of those inter-
ests are honest patriotic citizens.
The commercial interests of this
country cannot continue to flourish
as in the past if they are to be
antagonized by the masses as at
present Recently in legislative
body it leaked out that a corpora
ton lawyer drew a certain bill,
which was the signal for it's imme-
diate indefinite postponement,
though it was admittedly a meri-
torious measure. Is it a fact that
attorneys for corporations are pub
lie enemies?

HOLLANDS QUEEN

poets visit from the stork bear

throne, and as the time of the
happy event draws near, excite
ment runs wild.
From all parts of that country
presents have poured in until
there is nothing for baby's or
a small child's for that matter,
comfort or amusement that has
not been supplied and then dupli-
Gated. The queen, in keeping
with her kind heartedness,
wishes that a great part of the
sums collected be used in some
charitable institution. Cantatas
are being composed, singing
classes are practicing and many
other plans are in contemplation
to celebrate the consumation of
Hollands wishes.

THE GUILLOTINE has

again made it's appearance in
France. Capital punishment has
been resumed and so this nipple
ment of death now awakens new
curiosity. The last victim con-
DENIED to death by the dreaded
widow" was a man named
Danvers. The scenes were ex-
traordinary. Parisians thronged
the place of execution, men and
women masked, and in fancy
dress, paraded the stseets.
Comic songs and uproarious
choruses were sung under the
condemned mans window, while
the executioner was an object of
frenzied ovations when ever he
left the privacy of his hotel.
There is a growing feeling
against such demonstrations and
it is thought that the authorities
will soon greatly limit the num-
Der of spectators or make the
executions altogether private.

Some impostors and some who

to the many men waiting around
the corner, who would just as
soon have traficked in money
