•Web a evi re jolt Judge Oiavta holds
that the various "admin strative'*
boards of the slate government are
clothed only w th uiiuistc-dal power,
and that they must not undertake to
exercise arbitrary authority.
The opinion was written in a inanda
inus brought by Dr. A. 8. McCloary ol
Kansas City to compel the board to la
sue him a license to practice tuedi*
c ne in this state, lie submitted evi-
dence to show that he had matricula-
ted ut Klcctlc Medical university oi
Kansus City prior to the taking effect
ol the act of Match 1. l'*03. und had
received his diploma from that insi tu-
lion. He was denied the right to prac-
tice medicine, lie then brought mauda*
mus proceedings to compel the board
to issue him a license. The. supreme
court appointed A L. Cooper special
commissioner to take the testimony
lu the case, lie found that the b' &rd
d d not give to McCleary's evidence as
tu bis eligibility for license the light
und consideration it was entitled to,
and found that he was entitled to
the license.
The board claimed in defense that
it had exercised a discretion in the
matter winch tha law gave it and that
Its judgment was final- The court
does not assent to the contention of
the board. Judge Graves says that the
sole question for the board to deter-
mine was whether MeCleary had com-
plied with the requirements of law,
and that the law does not place in the
hands of the board the arbitrary power
claimed by It. The b >ard simply acts
ministerially In a matter of this ldnd
If tha conditions required by law exist
th* license must be granted.
Dr. MeCleary Mves at 2811 Gillham
road. He exlfi that the matter decided
had been In abeyance three and a halt
years. He sa'd the entire case had been
one of persecution, and that It war an
attempt to drive him out of the prac-
tice of medicine because he advertised,
“It's the same fight that's going on
Against advertising physicians all over
the state." said he. ‘T contend that a
doctor has as much right to advertise

American girls who have married Into
distinguished foreign families. Follow-

Much interest In the Sapp murder J

An Interesting fact about the Pana-
ma canal is shown in a comparison
made between it and the Suez canal
by Frank G. Carpenter, compiled from
statistics and estimates. Mr. Carpenter
] believes the canal w 11 prove au actual
paying investment almost from the
| start He has pointed out tbe tremend-
ous profits that have poured Into the
1 purses of the stockholders of the Suez
canal, and that while that project orig-
Inally cost $100,000,000, the Brit gh al-
ready have received $60,000,000 in clear
profits, besides the profits that havo
guns to other stockholder*. In the
opinion of Mr. Carpenter, If the Pan-
ama canal pays in proportion to tbo
Sues canal, tha American government
will realize somstblng Ilk* 14 per cent
net profit from It each year.

Attorney General Jackson, of Kan-
sas, has offered all the papeis in the
Texas prosecution of the International
Harvester Company In a similar case
which he Is prosecuting in Kansas.
The Texas anti trust law is similar to
the one in Kansas. The state brought
a suit to collect fines for violating
the anti trust laws. When the case
came up for trial the attorneys for tbe
company pleaded guilty to the charge
aud coulessed Judgment. The com-
pany was fined $200 a day for violating
the anti trust law* The total was $17,
400. A permanent injunction was aUo
granted prohibiting the company from
suteriug into any exclusive contracts
with agents and its license to transact
business la Texas waa taken away.
Objection was made by the attorney
for the defendant to adm tting th* pap-
ers, which took him by surprise,

When tbe French started to dig the
Panama canal, they shipped dowa a
cargo of snow shovels and a bund e of
flambeaux. The shovels were not nsoil-
ed at borne half so badly as the money
that bought thum and no one has ever
found out why they were sent to the
tropics. The flambeaux were gat here J
up at the start, so they would be on
hand for the celebration wlu-n the
waters of the two oceans came to-
gether. These farts Indicate huw it was
that one-third of the money raised by
the French company was wasted. But
Uncle Sam is not doing things that
way. The Job is a big one and will
cost hundreds of millions, but its cott
is reasonable when account is taken oi
the American-raised products that will
flow through the canal out Into the
Pacific and on to the Orient, and of
the immense advantage it will be in
moving our navy from one ocean to
the other. Congressman Scott predicts
that the one dollar per ton tax on the
commerce that passes through will
more than pay the cost

HON. P.. S. THARIN.
Hon. R. S. Tharin, Attorney at Law
and counsel for Anti-Trust Lrogue,
writes from Pennsylvan a Ave., N. W ,
Washington, D. C., as follows:
"Having used PERUNA FOR CA-
TARRHAL DISORDERS, I am able to
testify to its great remedial ex*ellenc#
rod do not hesitate to give It my em-
phatic endorsement and earn** t recom-
mendation to all persons *'ted by
that disorder. It fs also a TONIC OF
GREAT USEFULNESS."
Mr. T Barnecott, West Aylmer, On-
tario, Can , writes. ' Last winter I waa
ill with PNEUMONIA AFTER HAV-
ING LA-GRIPPE. 1 took Peruna for
two months, when I became quite well.
I also Induced s young lady, who waa
ALL RUN DOWN and confined to the
house, to take Peruna. and after tak-
ing Peruna for three months she is
able to follow her trade of tailoring. X
CAN RECOMMEND PERUNA for all
such who are 11! and require a tonic.
PE RU-NA TABLETS.
Some people prefer to take tablets,
rather than to take medicine in a flu d
form. Such people can obtain Peruna
tablets, which represent the solid me-
dicinal ingredients of Peruna. Each
tablet is equivalent to one average
dose of Peruna.

Th# United States Steel Corporation
has secured a controlling Interest in

Company. It is understood that the
price paid ia a little above $85 a share.
The holdings of a pool controlling
some 70 per cent of the stock of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron A Railroad Com-
pany were transferred in the sale. Ia

Is estimated that the steel corporation,
acting through J. Pierpont Morgan ft
Co., has secured about $20,000,000 of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron stoek at.
an outlay of some $17,000,000. Thts Im-
portant deal has had th# effect of
