In the March Atlantic is a paper by
John Burroughs which is likely to pro-
woke more than perfunctory comment
from all writers and readers of so-called
mature" books. In this paper, which
Mr.. Burroughs has styled Real and
Sham Natural History" he unlimbers
some heavy literary guns against a
well-known group of writers whom he
playfully describes as Natural History
Munchausens. With his accustomed
interesting style and wealth of anecdote,
the dean of our real nature writers dis
poses of divers tall and sentimental
animal stories very sumparily. These
writers who, as Mr. Burroughs thinks,
are unable to tell chipmunk from a
red squirrel, may not enjoy his paper,
but catholic readers will surely consider
it as delightful as it is virile, and a
striking example of an ancient and adj
mirable type of magazine article which
nowadays is too seldom seen.

Green Bay, Wisconsin, in 1926, and when
IL years of age struck out for himself.
He early located in Michigan and after
serving as clerk in store in Detroit for
year pushed his way northward and
settled on the present site of the city Of
Marquette. From that time to this his
name has been inseparably connected
with the development of the Upper Pen
Ursula of Michigan and its wonderful
mineral resources. He shared all the
vicissitudes of life in that wild, un-
settled country, but fought his way inch
by inch to position of honor and in
dependence. During his long and un-
usually active life he has been mail car
rier with a dog sled, store keeper, un-
derwriter, banker and legislator, mean
while occupying many other positions of
public trust. In 1851 he was county
clerk and treasurer of Marquette county,
and has given much time to the service
OF the State, having been member of
the Hbard of Control of the Mackinac
Island Park, member of the State Lii.
brary Commission and has occupied
other positions which involved the ex-
penditure of much valuable time and
labor without pecuniary reward Mich
igan never had more genuinely public
spirited citizen than Peter White. He
has always been particularly interested
in educational matters and he will bring
to the aid of the University fund of
technical knowledge that will make his
services of special value to this great
institution.
No less fortunate was the nomination
of Loyal E. Knappen of Grand Rapids,
as candidate for Regent of the Univer-
sity. Mr.. Knappen is graduate of the
University and always has been an
ardent champion of it's best interests.
He is in the very prime of life, a
thorough student and ripe scholar. He
was born and bred in Michigan, educated
in its public schools and graduated from
both the literary and law departments
ofits great University, He is conceded
ly one of the foremost lawy ers of the
State, recognized leader at the bar and
a cultured gentleman of acknowledged
ability in other lines than the law In
the practice of his profession he has had
much to do with large business problems
and has proved himself to be business
man of rare attachments. Thus from
every standpoint he is thoroughly
equipped for the intelligent discharge of
the duties of the Office of regent 1t has
been truthfully said that "he is built
upon such lines as to be especially
adapted to the work committed to the
members of the Board of Regents. His
outlook in life is broad. He is man of
high ideals, of irreproachable character
and of progressive disposition. He has
the confidence of all who know him or
have ever been associated with him, for
he has never been untrue to trust"
This estimate of Loyal e. Knappen,
written by one who has known him in
timately for years, will have the en-
dorsement of hundred of citizens of this
state who have the honor of hisacquaint-
ance. 1t is true estimate of his
character

GROWTH OF MORMONISM.
Mrs. Maria Weed Begins Local Cru.
sade Against that Church.

Mrs. Maria Weed of Chicago spoke to a
good-sized audience last night at the How
ard-place Church on THE Menace of Mod
ern Mormonism." Her hearers were most
ly women. Mrs. Weed represents the In
terdenominational Council of Women of
New York. which is working in conjunction
with the w. G. T. L. in a fight against
Mormonism. The former organizat ton was
formed at the time of the opposition to
Roberts taking his seat in the Senate.
Mrs. Weed has a clear and convincing
manner and the address was enjoyed. She
told of the very rapid growth of the Nor
mon Church not only in Utah, but all over
the country. There was an addition of 20,
600 10 the church last year. The members
for this reason that the fight is being
made, as those who are not in sympathy
with the Mormon idea fear the spread of
Brigham Young's faith.
The present movement is not against the
Mormon Church, but against polygamy, the
speaker said She also declared that, de-
spite the fact that the Mormons say they
do not foster this belief any more, as a
matter of fact they yet cling to it. An at
tempt is being made by the Mormon Church
to make house-to-house canvass all over
the United States. This should be met with
equal vigor by the opposing denominations
Mrs. Weede said. or the time would come
when the Mormon Church would rule the
Nation.
The characteristics of the Mormon belief
were spoken of and Mrs. Weed told of the
exceedingly fascinating method that the
preachers of this faith have in securing
converts. An interesting incident of the
meeting last night was the presence of
three Mormon elders who are at the mis-
sion in this city. After the talk by Mrs.
Weed they went forward and asked her a
few questions about certain statements.
but did not argue the matter. She said
that she rarely spoke where there were not
members of the Mormon Church, but they
are not people to get angry over antagon-
ism to their faith and never cause any I'M
pleasantness. Mrs. Weed is the guest of
Mr.. George Ehle. at No 1928 Talbot ave-
nue., and she will be In Indiana two weeks.
A parlor meeting will be held this after
liam King, of No. 132 East Thirty-third
street. at which Mrs Weed will talk on
1.-The Influence of Modern Mormonism." No
meeting is scheduled for tonight, but an
nouncement will be made later of lectures.

They are members OF the original primary
election committee. The directors have
never received from the primary election
committee a report of its progress. The
objections TO the bill made to the directors
of the Commercial Club were stated as
follows:
1--WE do not believe the bill to be repre-
sentative of the rights of citizens. We par
ticularly object TO the provisions which
give to precinct committeeman the absolute
power of determining whether voters shall
have the privilege of nominating candidates
for Office by direct vote or delegate con-
ventions, and We also regard as pernicious
the provision which gives to the precinct
committeeman the power of selecting the
election officers whenever primary elections
are held.
These provisions of the bill are wrong
in principle, and we regret that the Com
mercial Club should be committed to adj
vocacy of political measure of such char
acter. If the Objectionable provisions men,
toned should become law, the right of the
people to nominate by primary election
would be subject to the will of precinct
committeeman, and IL they should permit
primary elections 10 be held. such elections
would be practically under their control"

MAYOR SENDS A LETTER.
Mr.. Neal Urged to Secure Endowment
Rank Headquarters for This City.

Mayor Bookwalter intended TO go TO Chi
cago last night to attend the session of
the board OF control of the Endowment
Rank of the Knights of Pythias, but was
prevented by the illness of his little son.
Yesterday he sent to Charles F. S. Neal, of
Lebanon, a member of the board letter
urging him to present the claims of In
dianapolis which the mayor purposed 10
do as the most satisfactory point for the
location of the endowment rank head
quarters. There has been considerable talk
of the removal of the headquarters from
Chicago and the candidacy of Indianapolis
has been regarded as formidable because OF
its accessibility and its proximity to the
center of population.
