WATCH THE PROFESSOR TO-DAY
Rumor that the "Trick Bill" viii Take
Another Turn.

1t was rumored last night that Col.
Andrews secretary, Miller, Mr.. Moody,
Mr.. Busbee and other Southern attorneys
and lobbyists, were very busy concocting
a plan to rush through the Legislature
to-day some kind Of a resolution pre-
venting anybody from bringing q suit to
annul the 80 year lease during the next
two years or to sue the railroad at all,
one rumor had it. One prominent lobby
ist was heard to remark: 1--WE will give
EN- hell tomorrow" They doubtless
are moving ON the principle that "the
King can do no wrong, why sue the

CORPORA rIoN VS.. THE PEOPLE.
a Comprehensive Battle Royal in Next
Campaign.
By DIR. j. j. MOTT.

a
This railroad lease fight is a fortunate
occurrence. 1t is a great lesson that has
been taught here within the lapse of one
week, and the people viii profit by it.
1t has brought right before the public
eye a case in point in the march Of the
money power in its oppression Of the peo-
pie.
It has been demonstrated here in this
conflict that a single corporation rail-
road trust-can balk the whole power of
the Legislature of a State backed by the
ind0mitable will of its Governor.
For days has this battle waged with
uncertain course, and at times it seemed
that the anaconda corporation would
strangle the State.
This narrow escape, this drawn battle,
leaves the case open to go to the people
themselves amid a wreck of parties.
We will have next year the most COM
prehensiye battle royal this State has ever
witnessed in politics. and the people will
get more political wisdom out of 1T than
they have ever known before

thing To he thankful for that combined
capital has not succeeded in dcbauching
our legislature 70 the extent of delivering
over the State to the myrmidons of the
money kings.
The people should not forget to be CRATE
full to Lusk, Cook, Sutton, Schulken,
Hancock, Brown of Jones, and DR. Alex

splendid fight which resulted in a victory
for the taxpayers of the State.
In all my career and experience with
important men in public affairs IN State
and nation. have never met a more man
II man than Virgil s. Lusk. He is a
fearless, and IN some respects, almost a
peerless man. When he comes TO deal
with what concerns his State, no selfish
thought ever enters his mind; and when
his conclusion is reached, he is as imlnoya-
Bile as the bases of his native mountains.

half its value, or in trying to keep it, If
they have done so by legitimate methods.
The humuhating fact is that they
should have had representatives of the
people willing to serve them against the

This terrific assault of combined capital
against popular rights will arouse the peo-

Michigan with his parents In 1926; and in
1888 located in Livingston Co., as one of
its pioneers, where he spent the remain

Gated.
He was twice married, in 1874 to Eliza
beth Goldsmith, who was called to the
better country in 1867, and nearly two
years later in 1865, to Miss Jennette Nc
Lain, who survives him He was lifelong
consistent Universalist, and though he
was denied the privilege of afiliation with
a church of his denomination, because of
his isolation, he took a deep and active
interest in the religious services of his
church in Oak Grove, where he resided
held by the affectionately remembered
ministers Of his church, Rev. VIM. Olds,
and Glider Sawyer of Michigan. After
the decease of the latter, he had mainly

Hatfield, Hampshire Co., Mass, Dec Is,
1924. When ten years of age he came to
the neighborhood in which he died. and
where he has lived an honest, helpful life.
A man whose word and counsel could be
relied upon. He was loyal Universalist
and before his health failed was one of
the most prompt and liberal supporters of
the church, and worthy of its unlimited
confidence and trust. AS the shadows
grew long in the declining day large
concourse of people filed the house, and
the shady lawn, to listen to words that
would but poorly express the love and es-
TEEN in which he was held by relations
and friends. He leaves a wife and one
son. May the faith that sustained him
comfort them The funeral was attended
by Rev. Abbie f. Danforth.

PAUL CASTER,

PAUL CASTER was born July %, 1924,
near Dublin, Wayne Co., Ind. died at his
home in Union township, May 81, 1897,
aged ~ years, 10 months and days.
Mr.. Caster came to Oskaloosa in 1S49,
then very small frontier town He
rented land on what is now Montgomerys
addition to Oskaloosa. August Z, 1S49, he
was married in Oskaloosa TO Miss Minerva
j. Widows, from Dublin, Ind. In the
spring of 1850 they located in Union town
ship on government land, where they lived
and died, his wife preceding him to that
other and better country by several
years. Six children were born to them
all of whom are still living in that county
The funeral services were at Union
Mill, Wednesday, June End, and there
was an unusually large attendance of rel
atives and friends. Rev Mr. Palmer,
and Rev. Mr.. Gage, were in attendance,
and each took part in the solemn SER
vices.
Paul Caster was of 1.-THE salt of the
earth" His walk was one of upright
ness before men. He never knowingly or
willingly wronged any human creature.
He was lifelong Universalist in relig-
ious conviction, believing in the final sal
walton of all mankind, not in sin. but
from sin, and was beloved by all who
knew him. The high esteem in which he
was held was most faithfully attested by
the large concourse of people, and neigh
bors, who attended his funeral During his
last sickness he frequently expressed his
unbounded faith in the goodness of God,
and faced death calmly, with the utmost
confidence. He had lived uprightly and
death had no terrors for him. In sweet
peace, in perfect confidence in unwaver-
ing faith he passed from death to life
like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch about him, and lies down to pleas
ant dreams. -

MRS. j. A. CORRIN.

Mrs. JULIA A. CoRBIN was one of the
early residents of Bay City, Mich, having
removed to that now city of about 40, 600
population, village of few hundred at an
early day. She, with her husband, Chas.
F. Corbin, was one of the charter men,
bers of the Bay City Universalist society,
and also of the church organized in 1867.
She was quiet transformations woman,
but devoted to her church, and one of the
ways ready to do what she could to pro-
mote it's welfare. She early became a
subscriber to The UNIvERsALIsT; and when
her church suspended its services on ac-
count of it's misfortune in losing its second
church edifce by fire, she priced her de-
nominational paper the more, because it
weekly brought her the Gospel she was
denied the privilege of hearing enunciated
from human lips. Her final illness was of
brief duration; and she fell asleep in the
arms of her Saviour, while the out
stretched hands of loving family sought
to detain her, on Feb. 4, 1897.
She left to sincerely mourn her loss a
devoted husband, himself an invalid-two
affectionate daughters, and two families
of grandchildren. Her remains were laid
to rest in the beautiful cemetery of West
Bay City. where she resided at the time
of her decease, and the consultations of the
Gospel were presented to goodly con-
course of friends, at her funeral obse-
quies, by her former pastor, the writer
who received her into the church

A Musical Note.

The time is past when it is necessary to
go abroad for musical educ ton, except
as foreign study shall be added to the
completion of thorough foundation work
at home. This is evidenced by the not
able successes that have been achieved
abroad during the past year by the grad
yates of the New England Conservatory
of Music, which prove beyond question
the value of the instruction given by this
institution.
The American musician should receive
his trainining at home. Then if he
wishes the seal of foreign commentator,
he may reasonably expect to secure 1t on
account of the thorough preparation that
he has received, which is so much better
adapted to his needs than similar work
abroad could possibly be.
The engagement of George w. Chad
wick as musical director of the New Eng
land Conservatory is fitting recognition
of American musicianship. That Ameri-
cas- greatest composer should control the
musical destiny of its most renowned Con-
servatory is condition the American
people will be quick to appreciate

may be said truly that she inherited the

had been borne with great patience.
