in the question, but as a matter Of
business wisdom, the people OF the
whole state ought to be interested.
There is need of fire. proof building
for the safe-keeping of state records,
OF new senate chamber, new ST.
preme court chamber, ample committee
rooms and more convenient and COM
modious accommodations for various
state departments. But we trust all this
will come in time, and that the time
will come before very long. The peo-
pie of Bismarck will be disappointed if
the capitol bill does not pass at this
session, but they will maintain the
same good grace they have maintained
during all of these years and they know
that when the building is erected, it
will be credit to the state and worth
the long wait they have had. Mime
sofa waited long time for suitable
capitol, but they have now one of the
finest public buildings in the United
States. We have the faith to believe
that North Dakota's capitol will some
day be in every way worthy the state.

JUDGE coWAN.

There is a good deal OF interest
through the state in the proceedings
that have been taken in the house with
regard to the suggested impeachment
of Judge John F. Cowan of the district
court. Judge Cowan is pretty well
known through the state and to Bis
markers, where he lived for several
years when he was attorney general OF
the state. He is good fighter, a good
friend and a good hater, and in the
course of his political career he has
made lot of warm friends and a lot
of enemies. His friends, however, are
Of the kind that stay, regardless OF
factional lines or differences, and in
the suggested impeachment he will have
the warm friendship and support OF
many of the members of the legisla-
ture, as he may have the opposition OF
a good many. In matter Of this inn
portance, it is hardly necessary to
state that nothing should influence
members but consideration of the abso-
lutte moral and judicial fitness of Judge
Cowan, irrespective of personal or po-
litical differences. He is entitled to
and should have the fair, unbiased and
impartial judgment of the members up
on whatever testimony or charges may
be brought against him, and whatever
charges are brought should be weighed
only in the light Of fairness and justice,
and without throwing any prejudice or
bias into the balance. He has been
elected for several terms by the people
of his district, by decisive maiorities,
and we do not at all thing he has for
feited their regard or lost the strength
he has shown in several campaigns.
Neither do we think that the friends he
has made in his many years. of resi-
dence in the state have shown any dis.
position to forsake him at this time.

/. In an action to recover on a bene-

whether the insured committed sui

ranty on the part OF the insured In
effecting such insurance.
Held, for reasons stated in the op.
inion, that it was not an abuse of dis
erection to deny such motion.
2. Trial courts are vested with a
broad discretion in the matter of per-
hitting or refusing amendments to
pleadings, especially where, as in the
case at bar, the proposed amendment,
if granted, would necessitate con.
tinuance of the case over a term.
3. 1t is stipulated as fact that the
insured came to his death by means
Of strychnine poisoning, but whether
such strychnine was administered by
deceased, and If so whether the same
was thus administered with suicidal
intent il left to mere inference by the
testimony and was question Of fact
for the jury and not question of
law for the court to decide. 1t Is ac-
cordingly held that the trial court
properly denied defendants motion
for a directed verdict.
4. The law presumes that the insNr.
ed did not commit suicide, but that
the strychnine was administered
through accident or mistake, and the
burden of proof is upon defendant to
overcome such presumption.
5. Where a fact in issue rests solely
upon differences to be deduced from
other facts and it can be said that
reasonable men might fairly differ as
to the differences to be deduced from
all the circumstances disclosed, 1t ia
a proper case for the jury.

The Business Of Life.

Life IS a business we are all apt to
mismanage. either living recklessly
from day to day or suffering ourselves
to he guiled out Of our moments by the
inanities Of custom. We should de.
spise man who gave as little activity
and forethought to the conduct Of any
other business. But in this. which Is
the one thing Of all others, since it
contains them all. we cannot see the
forest for the trees. One brief I'M
preston obliterates another. There Is
something stupefying in the recurrence
Of unimportant things. and it Is only
on rare pr0v0cations that we can rise
to take an outlook beyond daily con-
Germs and comprehend the narrow linn

ence.-RObert Louis Stevenson.

Invisible Indiana,

All Indians seem to have learned q
wonderful way Of walking unseen.
making themselves invisible like GER
tain spiders, which. in case of alarm.
caused. for example, by bird alight-
ing on the bush their webs are spread
upon, Immediately bounce themselves
up and down on their elastic threads
so rapidly that only a blur Is visible.
The wild Indian power Of escaping
observation. even where there Is little
or no cover to hide in. was probably
slowly acquired in hard hunting and
fighting lessons while trying to ap-
proach game. take enemies by surprise
or get safely away when compelled to
retreat. And this experience transmit
ted through many generations seems
at length to have become what Is
vaguely called instinct.-John Muir In

THE CAPITOL.

The vote in the senate upon the re-
port of the special committee to in
quire into the feasibility of repairing
the present capitol building, by which
the minority report against the building
Of new capitol was adopted by vote
Of 81 to 10 would indicate that the pro-
posed capitol bill will not pass at this
session. There are a great many peo-
pie in the state who believe that the
time is near at hand when the state
should have new capitol building.
The majority of the members OF the
senate, however, seem to think that
the time is not just yet. The report of
the land commissioner as to the condi-
ton of the capitol building fund and
the capitol lands sheds light upon the
funds now and to be available for the
erection of a capitol. The interest upon
the land sale contracts is is accumulat-
ing every year, but there are necessary
repairs to be paid for to the present
building, to make it fit for public use
and to provide for increasing needs as
the state grows and the state depart
ments increase. If the capitol bill does
not pass this year, we think it will be-
fore long be apparent to the people of
the state that the part of wisdom lies
in investing the funds available from
the land endowment in a new capitol
building. The people of Bismarck are
naturally more particularly interested
