Refuse to Attend Glass Until Two Mem

Expulsion.

Lafayette, Ind, Jan. 24.-One of the
most determined stands ever taken by
students of Purdue university against
the action of professor was that Of
The senior class in chemistry in the
schooi % pharmacy, when the fifty
members left the class room in a body

dean Of the pharmacy school, had ex-
PEELED two members of the class be-
cause he thought them to be the in
stigators in a disorder in the class

After the Dismissed of the students,
a committee of the class waited upon
DR.. Green and told him that unless
he would permit the men to return
to their class all the rest of the men,
bers would refuse to attend classes
after a stated time. The time ex-
pired, and when the students assem-
bled for work they asked DR.. Green
for his answer. He told them that
he could not consider the demand and
the students arose in body and left
the building. They did not return all
day.

Gard Playing Clubs Unpopular.

The Indianapolis News of recent
date said that 1.-TWO seasons ago there
were scores of card clubs, today there
are only few. Persons are not tired
of playing cards. but they are tired of
feeling compelled to keep regular en-
gagement to play. 1t makes play en-
tirely too much like work.
The card club is not a factor In
making and maintaining friendships.
Conditions in a club are such that
friendships do not continue as do
friendships made with persons out of
the club.
1t is said that the card club is a
great place for the cultivation of dis
honesty. Persons who would scOrn to
cheat become callous after playing in
the club. Particularly does this hap
pen in clubs where prizes are given at
every party.

Apostle Smoot. the new senator
from Utah, is doubtless open to criti-
cism from an orthodox point of view.
but he talks like man who will do
his duty. In a speech of acceptance
to the Utah legislature he said the
policy of the present administration
on all national issues met his most
hearty approval and added: 81 hold
that the constitution Of the United
States is diYinely inspired; that under
the folds of the starry flag freedom
reigns supreme, and that my first
duty is to my country, whose laws
and institutions l love, honor and
respect. -

The San Jacinto Oil company, one
of the largest concerns OF Dallas,
operating 10 the Beaumont field, has
been placed in the hands of "a re-
ceiver, on the application of the Texas
Cotton Products Company of Texas,
which company had contract with
the San Jacinto Oil Company for a
large quantity of crude oil. This is
only the beginning. These oil COM
panies and mining companies that are
organized to catch the money of the
people will soon begin to topple.
There is always excuse enough, but
the real reason back of it all is that
seven out Of ten Of these concerns ale
organized for the purpose of falling.

The fact that Aguinaldo has made
an appeal to the United States govern
ment for the financial relief of the
Philippines is significant as showing
that tn ewould-be leader of the
Filipinos has accepted the sovereignty
Of the United States in good faith and
looks to this government for whatever
assistance the islands may obtain for
their development. Whatever the
American people may think of
Aguinaldo's suggestions, his offering
them must be accepted as assurance
that he has come to the conclusion
that existing conditions cannot be
changed.

something snapped. Her jaw refused

discovered that the bone had jumped
out of place. A doctor was summon

What the lcicle Teaches.

Have you ever noticed how an Icicle
is formed? II you have, you noticed
how it froze one drop at time until
it was foot long or more. II the wa
ter was clear. the icicle renamed clear,
and sparkled almost as brightly as dia-
mOnds in the sun; but If the water
was slightly muddy, the icicle looked
foul, and its beauty was spoiled. Just
SO our characters are formed-one lit
tie thought or feeling at time. If
each thought be pure and right, the
soul will be lovely, and sparkle with
happiness; but If impure and wrong.
there will be deformity and wretched-
ness.

Look Out for Frauds.

The city is being canvassed by q
representative of an association in
Chicago which pretends to build
homes for those subscribing to It's
stock and represents that it will give
to member 81, 900 or home with
in 6, 8 or IL months. This aSsoci.
alton is one of many in Chicago, against
which Attorney General Hamlin is
taking action with a view to induciny
the legislature to pass laws which will
drive them from the state. He says
"a large number OF concerns called
home cooperative companies, or home
builders, or home purchasing compan-
les. have engaged in business ID the
state, pretending to furnish homes at
small expense" He declares that
they are primarily for the benefit Of
the promoters, and incidentally may
benefit "a few Of the members to the
expense and loss of great majority. .
1t does not seem as if Elkhart people
would need to be warned against these
foreign institutions, but would, from
the experiences Of the past, naturally
expect them to be fraudulent and or
gained with the. sole purpose Of
sWindling the provinces. The Re-
view adds one more note Of warning
against any and all OF these institu-
tions which are organized outside Of
our own community. They have
proved failures in the past even If
they are not fraudulent in their pur-
poses. There is not promise made
BY these frauds that Is not better
promised and always fulfilled by our
home institutions. Elkhart Review.

Senator Beverage.

Charles Emory Smith, former post
master general, in an article contrib
uted to the Saturday Evening Post,
makes some interesting illusions to
the fightlin the senate over the pending
statehood bill, and incidentally to In
diana's junior senator, MIR. Beveridge
In part he says:
1.-The leadership of the opponents of
the omnibus bill devolves on Senator
beveridge as chairman of the CON-
mittee on territories. He engages in
the contest With all his ardor and
earnestness. His position in the sem
ate is steadily advancing. He came
there with high reputation as an
orator, out With the challenge which
faces new member. He encounter
ed the prejudice directed against his
youth. and the inquisition aroused by
his undisguised purpose to achieve a
place and make an impression. But
with his ability, his Studious industry,
his patriotism, his high ideals, his I'M
selfish devotion to the public inter-
ests, he disarmed the challenge and
has rapidly gained the esteem of his
associates. He has not made the mis-
take of speaking too often in the
senate, but he has been power on
the stump, and the range, elevation
and cogency of his speeches have COM
manded respect and confidence. /"

Bound To Be Dissatisfied.

The professional trust busters IN
Washington, the statesmen who de-
n0unce all combinations in production
as monopolies which must be destroy
ed, but who will not present plan by
which the destruction may be accom-
plished. are said to be greatly disgust
ed because all the prominent men who
are connected with extensive MAUI
featuring combinations are in favor of
the legislation proposed by congress
for the regulation of trusts, as they
are called. They nave been expecting
and predicting that every combina-
tion would send lobby to Washing
ton to defeat any legislation which
shall seem to be recognition of the
right of congress to regulate such
really interstate combinations. These
men are surprised that the great rail-
road corporations are more than will
ling to have law enacted which will
prohibit the granting Of rebates and
even the solicitation of them. 1t
makes them suspicious, for they can
not see that the railway company
which issues rebates usually does SO
under cOmpulSion and parts with
portion of its earnings as often as it
does SO. They will not see that a
manufacturing combination whose
business is on a sound basis desires
publicity for the reason that it prefers
to have its stocks sell at par. They
ignore the fact that the managers of
weak trusts burdened by issues of
watered stock, shrink from an expos
ure Of their assets and their transac-
tions, and the speculatorswho declare
that publicity will keep them out of
the stock market are those who now
deal In "industrials Of doubtful value.

hear representatives from the Retail
Merchants association before it makes
its report. Representatives of labor or
CARNATIONS were also invited to at
tend the meeting, which lasted two
hours.
Merchants Present Their Case.
Fred Meyer, president of the Mer-
chants association, Lafayette. said the
bill wou.s: make merchants sure of
their claims. and thereby enable them
to sell at a closer figure and enlarge
their credit business. Meyer favored
an amendment reducing the amount
subject to punishment to 10 per cent.

He said grocers as rule stand by
their honest customers in times Of mis-
fortune and that there would be few

Edgar A. Perkins. president of the
State Federation of Labor, said the
matter of trade between merchants

step in and say along what lines it
should be conducted; that to do so
would be a step toward socialism. The
