A dispute between two nations should go before that vourt as a disagreement between two corporations goes before a state or Federal court now.

They are sleek and professorial looking with VarDykes and horn-rimmed glasses.

They offer much high-blown abracadabra to impress seekers after new truths. There is the pungent odor of Incense, crystal balls shot with strange lights and shelves of ponderous books. The professors are usually in exotic robes and turbaned to give a mysterious atmosphere of orientalism. They are silken voiced and suave. Rich and neurotic women flock to them In limousines.

They pay as high as $o0 a visit for the curious mental infiltrations. There are lovely metaphors to be repeated parrot-like by the class and sometimes dep breathing exercises and silences. It is said the professors exchange names of their patients for their patrons usually go from one to the other in the chase for the chimerical panacea.

Prices have gone up in the last ten years. In the year of 1012, when the Zelig and Sirocco and Tricker gangs were warring with each other the price of murder was 510. -t- The gangsters used to have a term: "Putting him on the boat!" It meant the victim of hired vengeance would be seen no more.

It is said that In one year sixteen men were "put on the boat." No trace of them has ever been found. However, the death' of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, really ended the bloody, gang wars that characterized New York's East side of twenty years ago. The gangster is a coward.

The ruling made by County Attorney Ryan, holding as valid the order of the county commissioners revoking the constabulary powers of members of the Marion County Horse Thief Detective Association, should dispose of the controversy that has arisen between that organization and the police.

Recently the country has followed the legal battle between a wealthy American and a Russian prince for possession of a canvas by Rembrandt. The tourist frequently avails himself of the opportunity to visit galleries at New York, Washington and Chicago to see noted works of the old masters. The collection of such gems is a game confined to the possessors of millions.

It received a great impetus shortly after the war when impoverished Europe was compelled to sacrifice many art treasures. The latest stir In the art world has been created by the report that a portrait by Raphael has been acquired from a Berlin collection for the sum of $500,000 and that the canvas 'shortly will be brought to America.

An example of the manner in which research concerning some matter of local history may be conducted is given by the attempt recently made to establish the fact that Madison had the first waterworks system in the state, and to learn something of the history of the building of this system. -i- Last winter the following letter was received at the office of the historical commission from Dr. James M. Milli-gan, medical superintendent of the hospital for the insane at Madison: "On the grounds of this hospital there Is an old stone wall built across the mouth of a ravine to impound water for a reservoir in connection with the first waterworks system of Madison.

This Institution has already placed in position a stone marker. On this, a little later, we wish to affix a bronze tablet. We wish to learn first, in what year the dam was built, and whether this was the first municipal waterworks system in the state. I think the wall was built sometime between 1835 and 1845."

At any rate, the boys should not worry over the fact that it takes them a year longer to develop a soul. On the he-who-laughs-last theory, they may get a better one when It finally arrives.

This inquiry, which was Instigated by Curtis Marshall, president of the Jefferson County Historical Society, led to research conducted by Miss Katherine Belzer( which has resulted in an interesting history of this early waterworks system, the files of the Madison Courier yielding much material, as did also the minutes of the city Council. A start was made from a note in the Manual of American Waterworks, published by Engineering News, New York, in 1888: "The Madison waterworks were built In 1849 by the city, with Thomas God-man as designing englnoer and Theodore R.
