Mrs. Nation Attacks YelIowston
Water

Bozeman, Feb. 12.-For once Mrs.
Carry Nation got the worst of it in a
cold water argument and found her
self compelled to apologize to an in
offensive college professor of Boze-
man, whom she too hastily mistook
for a whisky drummer. Tt all happen
ed several days ago on train be-
tween Bozeman and Billings, and the
story gradually leaked out.
Prof. w. NJ. Cobleigh, the college
chemist, has been engaged for some
time in careful investigation of the
drinking water supply in the Yellow
stone valley, and makes periodical
trips to collect samples from various
sources, using to bring the samples
home several six-quart demijohns
With these arranged on the seat in
front Of him, the professor was read
ing a magazine, when Mrs. Nation
passed along through the car. The
demijohns caught her eye. It was
time for action without delay and she
uulimbered at once.
The professor, taken quite unawar
es, bowed to the blast, but the humor
# the situation kept up his nerve till
she had to stop for breath. Then,
looking her square in the face he ask
ed Garry, do I look like viii sky
drummer?'' Really he doesn't, and
she stopped her TRADE and began to
ask questions, which brought out the
fact tlat the professor was quite as
much a cold water worker as herself.
Growing interested in his explana-
tions she asked him if he would ana
I'VE the water from the we'll down on
her Kansas farm. Then it was the
professor turn. stI'll do it, he
said, ''if you will send me six quarts
in demijohn like one Of those on the
seat. - She pleaded for permission to
send it in a milk can, but the professor
was inexorable and they parted with
out closing the deal.

state commerce. It is claimed the
law is open to objection similar to
those that nullifed the liability law
of 1906. A decision in this case may
be announced Feb. q. Another
suit that has attracted much atten-
tion is that in which the government
is seeking to get possession of pro-
perty amounting to nearly S400, 900,
in the hands of Oberlin M. Carter,
former captain in the engineers
corps of the army. who was sentenc-
ed to prison for his alleged connee.
tion with schemes to defraud the
government of 81. .0Oo. 900. The court
has the case under advisement.
The validity of a large number of
state laws is questioned in cases
which the court has heard argued,
but in which it has not announced
it's decision.
Among those in the act Of the
legislature Of Minnesota, increasing
to 4 per cent the rate Of gross earn
ing tax on railroads, the Chicago,
Great Western railway and the
Great Northern railway have
suits to the supreme court, claiming
that, as applied to them the law is
void because their charters exempt
them from paying higher rate
than is specified in those charters.

Matters of Superlative Interest to All.

Washington, Feb. 12.-When the
supreme court of the United States
meets on Monday, Feb. 81, a long
list of decisions is expected. Law
yers believe that the court in it's
three week S vacation has endeavor-
ed to dispose of many cases that it
may be as free as possible to consid-
er the application of the Sherman
antitrust law to corporations and
the validity of the corporation tax.
OvershadoWing all others, the
suit Of the government against the
American Tobacco company and
others is the most important case
under adVisement by the court.
It was argued several weeks ago.
On account Of the Standard Oil
case, to be argued March IA, and
involving similar questions, it is be-
iieved the decision in the tobacco
will not be announced until after
the Standard Oil suit has been
heard.
One of the most important laws,
whose validity has been questioned
in arguments before the court, is

road employees, = passed by congress
in 1907. The railroads have attack

Vatican Organ Explains Th,
Fairbanks Incident
I he,

/ Rome, Feb. 12.-The Weekly Re-
view, Rome, the organ of English
speaking Catholics, published long
editorial today on Charles w. Fair
| banks, former vice president of the
| United States, which is believed to
have been inspired by the vatican.
The editorial says:
| Mr.. Fairbank S Professionalism is
broad and logical and allows him to
put his stalwart shoulder to the wheel
to help in every good cause. Though
strong party man in politics, his
levot;on to party does not make his
'esire the disappearance of all parties
but his own, and he has the same the
Dry with regard to religion.
He is a Methodist, but be has no
wish that Methodism should be the
only religion in America.
''Mr. Fairbanks is a type of mil
lions Of good Americans, friendly to
the Catholic church and believing that
it makes little difference what man S
religion is, provided he does his best
to live up to it.
After reviewing the incident be-
tween Mr.. Fairbanks and the vatican,
the Review emphasizes the tolerance
Of the vatican and points out that a
man may pass his whole life working
in the vatican archives and galleries
without even being questioned as to
whether he is Il Turk or an atheist.
He may even be diplomatic repre-
sentative to the vatican without being
Catholic.
But even the all embracing liberty
|of the vatican, continued the Re
view .tcannot include the Methodist
organization, which entered Rome
through the breach made Sept. 20,
1870, with Garibaldi's red shirts.
Many animosities have resulted, but
they have made no change in the
spirit or the system Of the Methodists.
Their organization does not minister
to the wants Of visiting Methodists
here, but it is directed toward pervert-
ing the faith Of the people.
Not only that, but the Methodists
have always been bitterly and avoW-
edly anti papal, eagerly welcoming
every opportunity to discharge their.
venom against Catholicism.
Statistics compiled by themselves,
show that the cost of making a single
Roman a Methodist averages 1000
francs Isl, 4oO). In the last 40 years
they have spent sl2, 900, 900 in this un-
holy work of proselyting Catholics,
especially Catholic children.
"Mr. Fairbanks did not know these
facts or he would not have given his
promise to speak in tie Methodist

for his audience with the pope. Other
wise he would have understood how
incompatible was his public appear
