M. Clemenceau is thus following out
strictly the line laid down by him at
the beginning of these troubles, name
ly that the churches should not be
closed, and that no martyrs should be
made. He adheres to this statesman
like purpose in the face of a very gen
eral propaganda of striking uncharit
ableness carried on against him and
his colleagues. He knows very well
that every effort of conciliation on his
part is liable to be construed as a
sign of weakness but, if he attains
his main purpose of securing for the
Catholic laity of France the mainten
ance of their ancient forms of wor
ship under the laws of the land, he
can well afford to disregard such in
terpretations, confident that the judg
ment of impartial men everywhere will
recognize the quality of his efforts.
So far as the Protestants and Jews
of France are concerned, the separa
tion law is already successful. The

ASOTIIEIt CON CI 1.1 A TOHY STEP.
The French ministry have now ap
proved bill suppressing the formal
ity of requiring a declaration before
holding' a public meeting, as required
by the law of 1S S1, and the measure
was brought before the Chamber of
Deputies Tuesday afternoon. The pur
pose of this bill is to keep the Catho
lic churches of Prance open for public
worship by the Vatican authorities.
According to the reports from Paris,
the Pope sent word through the Bishop
of Dijon to the meeting of bishops last
week that they should continue to con
duct public worship under his pre
vious instructions and not to make the
declarations required by the separa
tion law. This new measure, if it
should become law, would permit pub
lic Catholic worship to be continued
in France under the public meeting
act, and without declaration, precisely
as the message brought by the Bishop
of Dijon prescribed, and therefore
would be a practical modus vivendi
whereby the Catholics of France could
secure the benefit of their usual
church services so long as the Vatican
permitted the clergy to serve them.

ports that every Protestant congrega
tion in France has accepted tho law—
the number, we believe, is a trifle un
der TOO—and is satisfactorily working
under it. The same thing is true of
the Jews, although of course on a
smaller scale. The trouble in the ap
plication of the law to the Catholic
congregations is mainly due to the
Vatican and pans of the French hier
archy but even this is likely to dis
appear by practical adjustment under
the project of law just worked out by
the French ministry, whereby every
Frenchman and French woman be
longing to the communion of Rome
will be unrestricted and free, so far
as the supreme law of the state goes,
to use their accustomed church build
ings for public worship in the accus
tomed manner.
A MISSOURI LAW.
The lower house of the Missouri
legislature has passed by SS to 39 a
bill forbidding tipping waiters, Pull
man porters, or other servants, and
applying a fine of ?a to $500 for each
offense. Lots of people will sympa
thize with the sentiment that inspires
the law, but it is a question whether
any legislature or other body can for
bid a man making a gift if he chooses.
This is a free country. The way to
stop tipping is for the employer to
pay adequate wages and then put up
signs signifying that fact and advis
ing all persons to avoid tipping. It is
perhaps a mistake, but it is a com
mon belief that the Pullman porters
are expected to get the bulk of their
pay out of their customers, or victims
as they may perhaps better be called.
BOOTS YISIT TO CANADA.
Secretary Root's visit to Canada—
shortened by a day in consequence of
the unfortunate illness of Earl Grey's
eldest daughter—will doubtless be re
membered in that growing country,
just as his visit to South America is
remembered by our southern neigh
bors. Wholly informal as the visit
was, Mr. Root turned it to good ac
count both for our northern neighbors
and for ourselves. Mr. Root is no
chauvinist he loves his own country,
but with no desire to make a show of
his love, and much less to brag about
it, he clearly and with no need of af
fection perceives that other large state
organizations have their admirable
qualities and thus his visits to our
various neighbors are conducted on
the basis of the honestest sort of ap
preciative good will. It was this
spontaneous note of equality on the

part of Mr. Hoot, both in the smoking
room of Rideau Hall and in his little
speech at. the Canadian club luncheon,
that will make his visit memorable to
many Canadians. We have no doubt
that Mr. Hoot, got as good as he gave.

this country but both peo­
ples. as Mr. Root said, are aiming at
the same ideals of liberty and justice,
and these are the main objects for
which states exist. To "work-side by
side for the peace and righteousness
of the world in peace with each other"
is therefore not only the common duty
of both, but also the most natural
thing for both.
If, as seems likely, the testimony of
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw given yes
terday on the stand in the famous New
York murder trial, is true, Stanford
White met a just and deserved fate at
the hands of the husband of the wife
whom he had degraded while she yet
was a child and whom he continued
to persecute after marriage. Were
the law more swift in the meting out
of justice to men who violate the
chastity of girls who are in the form
ative period of womanhood, there
would be fewer crimes of the sort of
which Harry Thaw is now accused.
Every citizen of Grand Forks should
endeavor along the line that the forth
coming grand council meeting of the
United Commercial Travelers of the
northwest, called to convene in this
city in June, may be the most suc
cessful and most largely attended
council session ever held in the west.
Grand Forks has a reputation for do
ing things and let us add more laurels.
The burdens should not fall on few
shoulders either—but be distributed
among the many.
Every councilman and every citizen
and taxpayer of the city should make
it his business to collect all possible
information on all kinds of pavements.
The broader the scope of information
the more easy it will be to determine
with what kind of material our streets
are to be repaved. Meantime there
is much work for the city engineer
and the city council to do by way of
preparation.
It seems that Chief Engineer
Stevens of the Panama canal has de
termined that if he is to be held re
sponsible for the success of this—the
greatest and most difficult engineer
ing project of the age—he must be
given due credit therefore, and not
the contractor who simply shovels
away the sand after the setting of the
stakes.

Fred Davis, the Fargo Travel
ing Man, Succumbed Thurs
day Evening.
IN DEPOT AT CRARY
An Old Timer in North Dakota
and Well Known Through
out the State.
Fred Davis, who for the last two
years has been selling cigars in North
Dakota, died suddenly Thursday even
ing in the Great Northern depot at
Clary. Mr. tavis was seated in one
of the chairs, when he reeled forward,
death coming within a very few min
utes. Heart disease probably caused
his death.
Mr. Davis, although he had been on
the road but a short time was well
known among the travelers.
The deceased was about 43 years
of age and was one of the pioneer
settlers of Fargo. A good many years
ago he was a tinner in the employ ot
Harrington & Knight and later he went
into business for himself.
About two years ago he began travel
ing for a cigar firm. Since the first
of the year he had been traveling for
the P. &
w.
Co., having Fargo offices
with the Lewis-Vidger-Loomis com
pany.
Mr. Davis, almost ever since he
came to Fargo, was closly identified
with the volunteer fire departments,
being a member of the Rescue Hook
& Ladder company for years. He was
one of the leading volunteer firemen
in the state and was several times
elected president of the state volun
teer association and several times was
a delegate to the national firemen's
convntion.
The deceased leaves a wife and two
children, a boy about 12 years and a
girl aged 13 years residing on North
Broadway, Fargo. He was well known
all over the state ana possessed ,the
esteem and confidence of a large ac
quaintance.
ET TU BRUTUS! YES
Tlios Swiggum was One of Most Ener
getic of tlie Marooned Travelers
on tlie Hannah Line.
Itailrcad circles are all agog over
the report that James J. Hill is to
supersede "Chief Snow Bucker" Con
nolly and put in his shoes the popular
traveler Thomas Swiggum. Chief Con
nolly is said to 'be a very valuable man
but when it comes to wielding a shovel
or a pocketbook the knight of the grip
has him whipped like a hard boile.d
egg in a bunch of omelette. During
the recent ruction on the Hannah
branch of the Great Northern the
mercantile man started out one morn
ing after paying-his board bill—he says
himself he always paid this after every
meal so as to be sure of the next—
with two shovels over one shoulder
and his samples in his right hand
pocket anil before the alarmed towns
people could interfere he had the Jine
shoveled down from Langdon *s rur
as Easby.
The change will come as a slluht
promotion for Mr. Swiggum and Ills
friends grieve over the same. This
morning he went up to Inkster

The Finch-Smith company of Crook

house at Thief River Falls. W. K. Nash
of this city and C. B. Winslow were
there this week looking for the ground,
and decided that it was a good location
for a branch, it being the mention to

Dakota from that point.

First Train Ont of Langdon Branch
Brings Indirect Itesults of the
Arctic Environment.
Travelers who pride themselves
as being passengers on the first
train down the Hannah brAnch for
nearly a month, state that the trip
uncovered some peculiar studies. For
instance in the first coach was a
corpse, in the second coach was a
man who went off in one long dismal
epileptic howl every time the train
struck a drift in the last coach was
a newly married couple.
The combination aboye recorded was
not a direct result of the snow block
ade except in so far as the first train
was called upon to carry the mixture
from its Arctic environment.

Sixteen Days.
H. E. Dorval who carries a full line
of cigars for W. W. Fegan of this city
came in yesterday after an absence
from the city of exactly sixteen days.
He was up on the Walhalla line when
that portion of the track became snow
ed under. Mr. Dorval immediately
conceived the idea of driving over to
Edinburg and catching a train down on
that line. He did drive across but had
to spend five long days scanning the
horizon for a sign of a train.
