HUNTING WORK IN SUMMER.
A graduate of the University ot
Minnesota baa asked the New York
Post and the Chicago Tribune to air
tli reasons why commencement
should be held in the fall Instead of
In June, ile left school In June with
euch honors as Phi Beta Kappa dang
ling from his sheepskin, but, like Daw
on, '11, says be has found no work
yet. He blisters the paper with a
scorching argument that summer Is
not the psychological time to find em
ployment, liut suppose this young
man tvid been released from the class
room and campus along in September
and bad to trail the Jobless route tor
tbe following six months, would be
not, along about the holidays, deplore
a bleak world's unkind worlclUnessT
Would be not prefer to be knee deep
In summer, when, If be bad to remain
idle, be could at least retain a degree
of physical corafortT The trouble
with too many of these present-day
graduates Is that they emerge from
tbe dear old alma mater thinking
destiny has a greater career carved
out than Is really in store for thena;
they are not willing to begin at tbe
bottom, says the Indianapolis Star.
Scholastic training 1 tbe greatest as
set a young man can carry as be
strikes out for himself, but with It be
must have the determination to begin
with little things If ue hopes ultimate
ly to reach greater things. A college
degree Is not always a passport to the
presidency of a big Industrial corpora
tion, though It Is ortentlmes a condi
tion precedent
Following the store robbery and
shooting of a policeman In Cleveland
tiy a boy, Inflamed by stories of Wild
West life and highwaymen, a council
man of that city has Introduced an
ordinance prohibiting tbe sale of
trashy and Immoral books to tbe
youth. There should be such legisla
tion In every city, says the Ohio State
Journal. We spend millions to edu
cate a boy right; why not do some
thing to keep him from being educated
wrong? We have laws to prevent peo
ple from poisoning their bodies; why
not a regulation to restrain them from
poisoning their minds? To give a boy
a book that will make a highwayman
of him Is a black offense that should
not be permitted. It Is an attack on
society that society should not tol
erate. We are greatly excited upon
the question what scboolbooks shall
be furnished the children. We should
be a great deal more excited upon tbe
question of keeping harmful books
away from them. Ordinances are need
ed for this purpose. There Is a vast
amount of bad citizenship made by
bad books, and there are stacks of bad
boys.
It is a base libel on tbe American
ben to charge that she could lay about
twice as many cjtgs as she does every
year, and Is therefore slothful. It Is
unbelievable that the American Poul
try association Is responsible for tbls
reflection on bor powers. Tbe truth
Is, the hen's egg output Is automatic,
being regulated by the treatment ber
owners give her. On a proper diet,
wlch includes shell-making material,
he works with great diligence, ac
cording to her breed. If she Is expect
ed tc pick up a living about tbe barn
yard and to keep herself warm In ex
posed winter quarters, her tally nat
urally suffers. The ben Is a gold mine
only when her owner co-operates with

Tbe new minister of war In France,
M. Messlmy, Is growing unpopular
with the French officers. Taking an
Illustrious American exemplar, be has
Issued an order tbat the examination
for promotion to generalship shall In
clude severe physical tests, and an
other by which corps commanders are
to report officers who are unfit to take
the field. Any one who has seen an
army review In Paris, ssy July 14,
end observed the fat generals jolting
like Jelly In their saddles, will sym
pathize with M. Messlmy'a efforts.
Every dweller In tropical or semi
tropical countries knows that windows
and doors should be closed In the early
hours of the morning, and not opened
again until sunset If tbe house Is to be
kept reasonably cool throughout the
day. They are opened widely enough
to the breezes of the night, but dark
blinds and closed shutters are the se
cret of keeping tbe temperature low.
However, one can never convince an
Englishman of this fact unless he also
has Been Its demonstration abroad.
An Interesting sight In London Is
one of the great periodical sales of
raw skins and furs beld at a fur
warehouse In the city. Tbe magnitude
of the trade and the vast amount of
money Involved would surprise any
one who visited one of these sales for
the first time. At tbe premises in
Great Queen street one can wander
from floor to floor piled with thou
sands upon thousands of skins until
one begins to worker where all the
creatures they once clothed lived.
A baby of four months was one ot

there is no saying what Is going to
happen In this age of remarkable re
sources. It has been found that Russian ca

In Flemee From the Blazing
Gseoline Tank.
Dayton, O. Forced Into the air
by Jeers by thousands who called him
a coward, Frank H. Miller, aged 23,
a Toledo (0.) aviator, shot Into the
sky at twilight Friday evening and
at the height of 200 feet was burned
to death before the eyes of the ter
rified spectators on the Miami Coun
ty Fair Grounds, at Troy, north of
here.
Miller had circled the racetrack
and was just starting on a spiral
glide Into a neighboring cornfield
when something went wrong. He
could be seen making a frantic at
tempt to get his machine under con
trol, when suddenly the whirring of
the propellers ceased. The craft
then dropped like a shot for a dis
tance of 60 feet.
A tiny blue flame was emitting
from the engine and in an instant
the gasoline tank exploded. The
machine was wrecked by the Impact
and debris was hurled hundreds of
feet in all directions, what remained
of the machine and Its driver burn
ing almost to a crisp as they dropped
rapidly to the earth.
It was Miller's second flight of the
day and the fifth and last of the
week. In a short flight shortly af
ter noon his machine acted un
steadily and he did not care to go
up. The crowd Jeered him In the
afternoon when he Bald he would not
make a flight and In the evening he
went Into the air. "Let her go. I'll
be glad when this Is over," he shout
ed to his mechanician. Miller used
a Strobel biplane.
BITTER ON DR WILEY'S FOES
La Follette Calls frr Dtmlieal of
all engaged In Case.
Madison, Wis. In a bitter edi
torial In the laBt Issue of La Fol
lette's magazine, Senator La Follette
demands the retirement of the plot
ters who sought to oust Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley. In part he writes:
"The charge against Wiley was a
pretext to get the vigilant and honest
chief chemist. It collapsed under
the broadside of publicity.
Solicitor McCabe must go.
"Secretary Wilson may be forced
to retire. But It would be a sorry
perversion of Justice to drop Wilson
and keep Wickersham. Wilson has
to his credit years of service In the
upbuilding of agriculture. Wicker
sham has not a single achievement
to commend him to thepublic.
Fair dealing to the public demands
that all plotters, high and low, be
removed from the positions of honor
and trust which they have be
smirched." RISE IN FOOD STUFFS.
This Time It Is B amad on Result
In Canada.
Chicago. Foodstuffs which might
have been affected by an Influx of
Canadian products had Laurler and
his government not been defeated In
Canada Thursday, rose sharply in
prices In all American supply centers
Friday. Wheat led the advance and
was followed late in the day by flour,
when millers ignored their previous
price lists and adjusted their quota
tions to figures more commensurate
with the advanced cost of the grain
staple.
Oats, too, felt the effect of the
Canadian vote and as a result con
sumers may expect soon to pay In
creased prices for breakfast foods.
The Initial meal of the day, In fact,
seems destined to bear the brunt of
higher living costs within the next
few months, as It needed only to
day's developments in the trading
pits to add force to the recent ad
vances in coffee and sugars. The
consumer's toast and biscuit wheat
cakes and porridge, it is probable,
will but add to the woes of the

BIGGEST GF TRUSTS YIELDS
Bllllon-dollar Steal Corporation
Planning to Dlasoiva Problem
a Difficult One.
New York. It was reported here
on excellent authority that the mat
ter of dissolving and reorganizing the
United States Steel Corporation Is re
ceiving the earnest attention of the
Department of Justice and tbe legal
representatives of the so-called "Billion-dollar
Trust. ' There is ground
also for the assertion that the Steel
Corporation is making a strenuous
effort to meet the demands of the
government, but by reason of the
complexity of the situation little
headway has yet been made.
Chairman E. H. Gary declined to
discuss the status of affairs, and
Francis Lindo Stetson, the corpora
tion's general counsel, would not af
firm. nor deny the report that nego
tiations looking to a voluntary disso
lution are contemplated.
To those who have followed the
operations of the Vnited Statea Steel
Corporation since Its inception a de
cade ago the work of disintegrating
and reorganizing the largest indus
trial combination ever organized rep
resents a tank of titanic proportions.
Many of the Bubsidlaries which help
ed to make up the corporation have
lost practically all semblance of their
original selves, and In the opinion of
dispassionate observers it would be
well-nigh Impossible to restore
original equities.
It Is a matter of common knowl
edge that a large part of the $500,
000,000 common stock originally rep
resented little more than bonuses, or
water. On the other hand. It has
been admitted by government Investi
gators that much of this Inflated
value has been replaced In recent
years by moneys taken out of earn
ings. In fact, the report of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor
has practically fixed upon a value of
$50 for the common shares, because
of the millions put Into new con
struction, betterment, depreciation,

EROTHER KILLS BROTHER.
Hoe le Used With Fatal Ef act In
Fight on Farm.
Salisbury, Md. Walston's Switch,
a little village about five miles east
of Salisbury, was Ihe scene of a
bloody conflict In a cornfield In which
Theodore Ennis killed h's younger
brother, Eddie, in the presence of
their father, John Ennis.
The father and his son Thecdore
had some words concerning the
shares of corn due each, and Eddie
Ennis became Involved in the dis
pute. Eddie pulled his knife from his
pocket and lunged at his brother
Theodore, cutting him and also cut
ting the father's clothing while he
was attempting to separate the boys.
Theodore seized a hoe. and the two
brothers went at each other fiercely,
and after several gashes had been In
flicted by each Theodore sent the
sharp edge of his hoe into the brain
of his brother. ,
Eddie fell to the ground and died
at the house shortly after being car
ried there by his mother and father.

Montreal. The Laurier govern
ment and reciprocity Buffered an
overwhelming defeat In the Canadian
elections held Thursday.
By a veritable political landslide
the Liberal majority of 43 was swept
away and the Conservative party
secured one of the heaviest majori
ties, upward of 60, that any Cana
dian party has ever had. Seven
cabinet ministers, who had served
with Premier Laurier were among
the defeated candidates.
The Liberals lost ground In
practically every province of the
Dominion. Where they won their
majorities were small. Where the
Conservatives won their majorities
were tremendous. Ontario, the
leading province of Canada, declared
almost unanimously against the ad
ministration and reciprocity.
Robert L. Borden, leader of the
Conservative party, will shortly be
come the prime minister of Canada.
He will be supported In Parliament
by a working majority of members
far more than ample for his pur
poses. The government defeat means
that the Flclding-Knox reciprocity
agreement, ratified by the American
Congress In extra session, will not be
introduced when the Twelfth Par
liament assembles next month and
that a revised basis of trade with the
United States, looking to closer com
mercial relations, will not be pos
sible in the immediate future. The
Conservatives are committed to a
policy of trade expansion within the
empire and a closed door against the
United States.
Although re-elected In two constit
uencies In Quebec, the defeat of the
Liberal party also means the retire
ment from public life of Sir Wilfrid
Laurler, who for nearly two decades
has directed the destinies ot the
Dominion.

REGIPROCUY
BUTCHERED IN THEIR BEDS
Two Fertilise Exterminated at Cob
orado Springe Heads Smashed
With Ax.
Colorado Springs, Col. Butchered
In their beds by some person as yet
unknown, who used an axe, the
bodies of six persons, three in each
of two neighboring houses, were
found here Wednesday.- The heads
of all the victims had been smashed
in and the appearance of the bodies
indicated that they had been dead
several days, and that death came
while they slept.
A report says that, the murderer
has been caught and that he has con
fessed, but this is denied by the po
lice officials, who, it is Intimated, fear
a lynching might follow such an an
nouncement. An axe which had been
louned to Mrs. Henry F. Wayne, one
of the victims, by J. R. Evans, a
neighbor, lust week, was found blood
stained by Mrs. Evans on Monday
near the back door of the Wayne
home. No attention was paid to this
fact, however, as It was thought the
axe had been used In killing chick
ens. The dead:
Mrs. Alice May Burnham, wife of
A. J. Burnham, cook at the Modern
Woodmen Sanitarium.
Alice, aged six, and John, aged
three years, their two children.
Henry F. Wayne, a consumptive,
until recently a patient at the Wood
men Sanitarium.
Mrs. Wayne and her one-year-old
baby girl.
The Burnham house Is situated at
Dale street and Harrison Place, and
the two houses next to It on Dale
street are vacant. Directly In the
rear la the Wayne home and close to
it Is that of Evans.
The discovery of the bodies was
made by a neighbor who called at
the Burnham home. Not getting any
response and noticing a strong odor,
she forced an entrance. The bodies
of Mrs. Burnham and those of her
two children were found in their
beds, which were covered with blood,
and the walls and ceiling were also
spattered.
The woman rushed to the street
and gave the alarm. Instinctively a
dozen persons went to the Wayne
house, where there had been no signs
of life since Sunday and the same
terrible scene was presented. In bed
were the bodies of Mr. and Mrs.
Wayne and their baby, all horribly
mangled as in the case of the bodies
In the Burnham house.
That such a crime had been com
mitted In a thickly settled neighbor
hood and left unrevealed for three
days Is regarded bb Incredible. Not
even a footprint Is to be found on the
floor of either house, and no one
could be found who had seen any
one about the premises since Sun
day when ,all the murdered persons
at different times were In a neigh
boring grocery.

Neenah, Wis., Sept. 24. Thirteen
persons are dead, three others are
dying and five are seriously hurt as
the result of a fat train on the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway,
early Sunday morning, crashing into
a hay rack, on which a party of 31
merrymakers were returning from a
celebration. A big billboard beside
the railway tracks obscured the view
from the locomotive, as well as from
the wa(,on. Dust and fog were con
tributory chuhcb to the tragedy.
Nine members of the party escaped
without a scratch. Nobody on the
train suffered except from a
momentary severe Jar. The( collision
occurred at 3.40 A. M. at the Com
mercial street crossing here. Train
No. 121, northbound, whirled
through the wagonload of singing
and happy people, who were return
ing from the Peter Hanson farm,
where they had gone to attend the
celebration of a wedding anniversary.
All but two, who were Chicago men,
were resldeuts of Menasha.
Armless, legless and headless bodies
covered ' the right of way, as the
train, nine coaches In length, was
brought to a stop 800 feet from the
scene of the crash. Several of the
bodies were bo badly mutilated that
identification was possible only by
fragments of clothing. Six bodies
were discovered on the engine pilot
and two other bodies were hurled
through a flagman's shanty with such
force as to overturn the structure.
