Governor Burke is evidently some
what sensitive regarding criticism of
his public acts. In long letter to the
public he explains his technical viola
lation OF his oath of office and the con-
stitution of the state in the appoint
ment of State Senator Purcell as Unit
ed States senator. He cites instances
where others have done the same thing
and got away with 1t. It's matter
entirely up to the governor. The For
UNI has no objection to the appointee.

and republicans than the genial Doc.

Optimistic Japs.

The Japs are the most optimistic
people on the face of the earth, says
an exchange. Kick cody and he will
get up smiling tax him and he will
wonder why he wasn't levied upon long
before; give him a disaster and he will
say it might have been worse He
knows no disbursement. Few races
IN history have been so heavily taxed
as have the Japanese to overcome the
cost of the last war. They look upon
their huge debt lightly, and when the
government told them they would have
to pay it they laughed cheerfully--and
went at it, Commercial activities were
doubled, even tfebled A smart legis-
lattve body put exceedingly heavy taxes
on cigars and tobaccos, luxuries all
Japanese forego. In doing this the
white foreigner was made to help out
the struggling masses. Horses are as
rare in Japan as buffalo are i'm this
country today. One may walk dozen
blocks down the principal street of any
Japanese metropolis without seeing a
single horse. The owners OF what few
there are pay dearly for the privilege
of keeping them. The friend of man
IN most other countries, here the horse
lis judged mans worst enemy. If the
country were overrun with horses,
thousands Of rickshaw coolies would
be out of a Job. Now, condition IN
which people are out of jobs is not
good for any country, and particularly
is 1T bad for war debts, as it let's them
run on indefinitely drawing princely in

FEDERAL INCORPORATION.

There are two opinions among the
newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington concerning the prospects of
the speedy enactment Of the federal
incorporation bill-which was intro
duced in congress under the auspices
Of the administration. There are those
who hold that President Taft does not
regard the measure as especially ext
geant, and is willing that for the pres
ent 1t should be treated as an academic
question-up for public discussion
rather than for immediate enactment.
On the other hand there are those who
assert with equal positiveness that the
president regards this as one of the
most important of the administration
measures and will do all in his power
to press it to enactment. The event
will show which view is correct. In
the meantime the bill is likely to be
carefully scrutinized by the public and
by the interests affected.
The question of the limitations of
federal and state authority is likely
to. be brought strongly into the dis
cussion. The bill is not mandatory
in its provisions. 1t permits corpora
tons to organize or remain under state
franchise il they so desire. But for
those who prefer to accept federal
franchises it provides for exclusively
federal supervision-while not exempt
ing them from the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law-places them
under uniform regulations and restric-
tons. This will be an advantage to
honest corporations in many respects,
as relieving them from a multitude of
vexatious restrictions-but 1t will also
compel them to more rigorous OBJ
of the laws of the United
States. The discussion of the question
cannot fail to have a high educational
value, whatever may be the ultimate
fate of the measure.

AGED MINISTER'S.

"A clergyman is idolized at 30, criti-
cised at 40, ostracized at so and aband-
oned at 60"
The foregoing was a somewhat
dramatic outburst of Rev. J. J. wilkins,
dean of the pro-cathedral at Los An
geles, and made before a congregation
at Baltimore.
DIR. Williams in addition to the spir-
itual office which he holds in Los
Angeles, is also the general secretary
OF the commission appointed by the
general convention of the Episcopal
church in Richmond in 1907 to raise a
$4,000, 600 clergy fund.
The movement is certainly one which
should appeal to the practical phil
anthropy Of Christians -
That there is much truth in the rev.
erend geHtleman's charges is obvious
to every one. There have been frequent
illustrations in North Dakota. Only re-
Gently several members of the cloth
have been forced by the high cost of
hving-or other causes-to abandon
their life work and engage in secular
occupations to secure some kind of
competence for approaching old age.
One of these was for years engaged
in the ministry and Sunday school
work. In the western part of the state
one minister quit the pulpit to run a
laundry, another to become an agent
for trust company and in one of the
northern counties a leader of his flock
resigned 10 become a candidate for a
county office.
1t is asserted that the average SAL
airy of the ministers in North Dakota
is far below $1,000 per year On this
he is expected to maintain himself and
family, educate his children, lay aside
something for old age, contribute to
charity, dress himself and wife and
children neatly--and do dozen of other
things on stipend that is not suffic
iently elastic to stretch over all the
places it is expected to cover.
If 1t be true that the demand for
youthful enthusiasm in the pulpit
makes the age intolerant of gray hairs.
then by all means something should
be done to rescue from actual want and
suffering the men who faithfully and
loyally-many Of them on meager sal
aries-have served the affairs OF re-
ligion.

imagines that the Office of the man

Some Advice
About COLDS

and colds is made by mixing a
half ounce of Virgin Oil OF Pine

of Glycerine and eight ounces Of
pure Whiskey. These ingred

together in a large bottle. Il is

Ithaca, N. Y. = In an address
before the Council congress on
Friday night President Jacob Gould
Schurman of Cornell commended the
scheme for the Rockefeller foundation
for which congress has been asked
for a national charter President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
of several thousand words to this sub
ject and in summing up he said
Il recognize that section No. of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say, morals and religion, art
and science, manners and social inter-
course, and all that concerns the po-
l1t1cal, economic, and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is vast field for the exercise Of
philanthropy.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has conceived

benefit of his fellow citizens and man.

kind. 1t is in the interest of the ma
ton that he be given a free hand in
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benefi-
cence, which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain higher
civilization.
1.-THE only change l would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might we'll be left close

sires, for generation. But after that
time am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi-
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peo-
pie of the United States, whose well
fare is the primary object of the i'm
