DENMARK.

Riget (The Kingdom) is the name
OF a new newspaper in Denmark. A
snort while after the paper was started
the proprietor was called to the tele.
phone. Who's that?" said the news
paper man. "Riget, of Slagelse.'
we have no branch in the CITY OF
Slagelse yet" my name is Rixet
am merchant, and the only man by
that name in Denmark. Now you have
stolen my name for your paper" Now
the newspaper man begged pardon and
asked Mr.. Riget if he would be kind
enough to read Riget free of charge
for a few months. This offer satisfied
the man who had been robbed IF his
monopolistic name.

eight years penal servitude. Alberti

A1Dertl had held commanding place
both in politics and finance. He was
member of the DeuntZer ministry

cabinet, which he entered as minister
of justice in 1905. AS president of the
Peasants Savings Bank, and of the.
Danish Farmers Export Association.
he was the custodian Of enormous
funds to which he began to help him

seven years before he accepted the.
portfolio of justice. Unpleasant ru-

confessed that he had misused the
funds of the bank and that he had

JOINT ION R. R. BOARD.
INTERNATIONAL c0MM,seIrA
AGREED UPON REPRESENTA-.
TivEs OF TWO COUNTRIES.
TO REGULATE JOINT RAIL RATES
VIII recommend to Respective Gov.
ernments Establishment of Such
a Court BY Treaty or
Legislation.

Washington, D. C. - AS a result
OF long series OF conferences he.
tween Judge Martin A. Knapp, chair
man of the interstate commerce COM
mission, and the Hon. J. p. Mabie,
chief of the railway commission of
Canada, an agreement has been reach
ed to recommend to the governments
OF the United States and of the Do
mlnlon of Canada the creation of an
international railroad commission
which shall have supervising author
lty over the railway rates in opera.
tlon between the countries.
No details of the report are vet
available beyond the fact that it rec
ommends the establishment of the in.
ternatlonal commission, upon which
shall be conferred certain defined reg
ulatory powers. Whether the commits
sion is to be created by treaty or by
joint legislation cannot be announced
at this time.
Difficulties Anticipated.
For a considerable period it has
been realized that the increasing traf-
nc, both passenger and freight be-
tween the United States and Canada.
was likely to render control over rates
IN the future action were taken. The
ternational action were taken. The
acquisition by American railroads of
canadian terminals and by Canadian
railroads of American terminals and
lines present increasing difficulties. In
the existing circumstances neither an
American nor a Canadian carrier NAV
be required to furnish shipper a
through bill Of lading from any point
in one country to any point in the
other.
The reasonableness of the interna.
tonal rates which ordinarily are a
combination of the rates local tn each
country can be determined only by q
proceeding Instituted before the COM
missions of both countries.
No power at present exists that can
require carriers engaged in interna.
tlonal transportation to establish what
may be regarded officially as reason
able through joint rates.
Out of this situation grew the idea
OF the creation Of an international
commission which should have super-
V1sory control over the RAILWAYS and
other common carriers doing ain in
ternatlonal transportation business.

NORWAY.

Narvik, seaport town In the far
North, is controlled by the Socialists.
But statement of the following facts
will convince the reader that they are
laboring under singular disadvantages.
The ground belongs to the state. For
a long time the church authorities
have been endeavoring to put up
church in place of the present prayer
meeting shed. But the prospects are
gloomy. A somewhat decent Jail is
also thing of the dim future. The
school facilities are in a desperate
condition. A wretched rookery is used
as public and high school combined.
The city has a debt, but no money,
and it has not succeeded in borrowing
money for a regular school building.
The city has no waterwork:, no elec-
trio plant of it's own. Light is fur
nished by the Taraldsvik Power Com
pany, and water by the mining COM
pany. The city has condescended to
accept a. gift from this company of
$1,000 a year for the proposed school
building and home for consumptives.
The city has also permitted the same
company to run, at it's own expense,
a manual training school and a cook.
ing school. But the Socialists have re.
solved to build a. harbor, the cost of
which will greatly exceed the est.
mates. No public works are let out
to contractors. There is hardly an.
other municipality in Norway that is
so dependent upon private capital as
this very ~:ity, and the fact that it is
absolutely controlled by the Socialists
looks like an irony of fate.
The sales of Swedish works Of art
! at the art exposition in Buenos Ayres
amounted to $4,000. -
The so-called Norwegiar-American
Steamship Company has had very
| checkered career so far. Much of the
work done few months ago has
| been undone, and the whole thing
will have to be reorganized on
sounder basis. K, B. Birkeland,
Minneapolis capitalist, was roundly
denounced for Directing to certain

Liberal. Ieftists 452. the Socialists 1

Be Careful With Fire.

People cannot be too careful with
fire this dry weather. Should fire
break out it would be almost i'm
possible to stop it. Princeton is in
ashes the result of a small blaze
and the scarcity of water The
same might be the result in any
town should fire break out Many
wheat fields, meadows and pastures
are being burned by fires set by
railroad engines. Again we say be
careful with fire.

MORE RAILROAD.
Monroe City to Be On the Shortest
Chicago-KanSas City Line
Possibly a Division.

The report is that the Burlington
is to build the Mexico and Monroe
City line to Kansas City on some
one of the surveys made last fall.
1t comes into Monroe City just to
the west of the city. 1t is more
than likely that Monroe City Will
get a round house and a freight
division at least. Then a new de-
pot and other improvements will
follow and it may be the stock pens
will be taken out of town. In any
event the new road will be helpful
to the city in many ways. The new
road will give the Burlington the
shortest Chicago Kansas City line
which will be through Monroe City
and also the shortest St. Louis-Kan-
sas City line That is the one thing
railroads are now working for and
the Burlington is a road which
keeps up with the procession.

Boston, Mass, July 2. Because
he believes Massachusetts should
take the initiative in instituting a
new modernized and scientific
method of dealing with offenders
against the laws, is the reason Gov
ernor Eugene N Foss gives for haV-
ing pardoned thirty five States
prisoners during the six months he
has been in Office.
Il want to see the old Bay State
the first to adopt a system which
will correct. not punish; which will
be based on the sense of honor in
born in most men; which will hold
out to every delinquent in the shin
ing light of hope" says Governor
FoSs.
The Governor hopes the State
soon will establish a uniform scale
of pardons.
He believes the time is near
when a great reformation will wipe
out prisons, do away with reform
schools, which, it has been said, are
little better than schools for crime.
