MILITARY DAY A SUCCESS.

Military. day was what the people
usually term a great success. The
Ia.ue of sucn an event to Henderson
Vile can not be measured in dollars
and cents, for the festivities created
an impression that will last for long
time. Success was achieved only
through the faithful work of few. as
is usually the case.
The finance committee, Mr.. F. A.
Ewbank and Mr.. w. S. Miller, WI
were assisted by others, appointed to
raise the necessary funds, had the Gus
tomary difficult task before them
Those who are accustomed to giving
freely to these occasions for the ben
eft of the city, cheerfully made their
usual contributions, but considerable
opposition was met, making the few
bear the burden. The names Of sore
who grudgingly parted with so cents
or a dollar to help bear the expense.
OF the occasion and who in return had
riore business than they with theil
host of clerks could do, could be men
toned, but they are well known TO
those who cooperate in the worthy
undertakings.
1t will take approximately $500 10
meet the expenses ofsthe day, the cost
OF automobile prizes included. an6
since the necessary funds have nor
been raiseds the committee would high
ly welcome contributions from those
who feel that they would be giving to
a cause that was worth thousands OF
dollars to the city, the expense y:
which it is the duty Of the citizens {
HendersonEille to cheerfullx meet.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 20.-The
Wisconsin eugenic law regulating the
issuance of marriage licenses, was
held unconstitutional by Circuit Judge
Eschweiler Tuesday.
Among other things the court says
the law which provides for a physi.
clans certificate of health, including
the Wasserman test, is violative OF the
rights secured by the constitution and
conflicts with religious liberty be-
cause it tends to halt marriages.
The court held that if the state
wished to exercise the right of pre-.
venting undesirables from marriage, it
should assume the burden of wedding
out the unfit and thereby not cast up.
on the fit the unfair demand and thus
materially impair their inalienable
right.
The court upheld the Legislative
right to demand tests from men only
and not women.
The supreme court, it is expected,
will ask for a final ruling on the con.
stitutionality of the measure.
The case was taken to the courts
by Alfred Peterson, refused a mar

Rose to nigh Royal
Favor ....

London, Jan. 2O.-The Lord Of
Strathcona and Mount Royal, high
commissioner for Canada, died at
1:55 Wednesday morning.
Strathcona was aged SO. He 'said
the best way to live to an old age,
was mot thinking about age at all,
but just going on doing your work"
He lived up to his maxim.
For the past six years he had been
periodically reported as "aout tb re-
sign" his post of high commissioner,
but it was death, not resignation,
that terminated his work.
He went to Canada at IS. At one
time he was head of the Hudson Bay
company; later he was resident gov
ernOr in Montreal. In 1896 he was
sent to London as high commission
er and worked for the interest of
Canada, faithful to the last.
Donald Alexander Smith, created
Baron Strathcona in 1897, was born
of humble parents in Elginshire,
North Scotland, in 1920. He emigrat!
ed to Canada in his twentieth year,
as a clerk in the service of the Hud-
son Bay company, and spent nearly
quarter of century in the wilds
of Labrador. He gradually rose in
the service, and when about so years
of age reached the highest post in
the company's service, that of chief
factor and chief commissioner. This
carried with it large salary and an
interest in the profits of the COM
pany. -
AS chief commissioner he was sta
toned at Fort Garry (now Winnipeg)

out in 1870, and first came into the
