Conscience In Work.

Talents and skill tell for much, but
conscience in work tells far more,
The mechanic or clerk who, beyond
his stated salaIy, beyond even his OBJ
legations to his employer, or the de-
mandS which public opinion could
make upon him, exerts himself to
make his work as perfect as he can,
and delights in its thoroughness and
excellence apart from any private
benefit 1t can render him, has a value
which can never be computed. 1t
matters not what the work. be, wheth.

sought far and wide; there are places

Why People Drink.

An Italian Society Of Temperance
answered this question thus: One
drinks because he feels happy, anoth-
err because he feels lonesome, one
drinks because IL Is dry, another be-
cause it rains; one drinks because he
worked hard, another because he has
nothing to do; one drinks because an
old friend has come, another because
his friend Is departing; one drinks
because he feels warm, another be-
cause he feels cold; one drinks that he
may sleep, another because he cannot;
one drinks because there Is wedding,
another because there Is funeral.
Thu people will always find reason.

To The Friends of DR.. Carl Swenson
Deceased

Ever since the untimely death OF DR.
Carl Swensson there have been repeat
ed suggestions by sthe citizens OF
I.indsborg and other friends of the de-
ceased, that a vault be erected at
some suitable place on the college
grounds as his last resting place.
Many have expressed desire to con-
tribute to a fund for that purpose. To
bring about definite results the Com
mercial Club Of LindSborg, Kansas, by
unanimous vote decided to place itself
at the head of the movement and
receive contributions.
DR.. Swensson's life was one spent In
the service Of his fell0wmen. He has
been potent figure in the upbuilding
of the west, and by wOro and deed
furnished valuable contributions to
the ideal side of our development. No
more betting tribute can be reared TO
his memory than such a monument,
built by voluntary contribution.
1t is the intention Of the committee
to have the vault ready by June LIST,
when the Augustana Synod, Of which
he was a member, coDvenes at Lings-
borg. Sums of one dollar and up will
be received and duly accounted for.
Those who desire to contribute to this
fund, will please do so as early as pos
slble. Direct correspt ndence and
money to Mr. G e Eberhardt, Sec
rotary of the Commercial Club,

President Roosev It's Attitude To-
ward the Trusts.

President Roosevelt and his admin
istration have faced the problems Of
improving the laws and enforcing the
laws with a good faith so entirely
above reproach that no criticism can
justly be brought against their policy,
their methods, or their motives They
have been justlas ready aud willing to
bring action against the coal trust as
against the Northern Securities. But
the present authority of the United
States over commerce. Is confined to
interstate matters. The anthracite;
coal industry is wholly within the
boundaries Of Pennsylvania. No one
knowing President Roosevelt'S rela-
tlon to the great strike could possibly
suppose that any personal disposition
to shield a particular combination
furnished a reason for failure to pro-
coed against the anthracite monopoly
under the Sherman Act. The great
service that President Roosevelt has
rendered, and its Importance cannot
be overstated,-iS to give the whole
country new sense Of respect for law,
The gentlemen who form the North.
ern Securities Company certainly had
no evil designs against the welfare Of
any class of people; but it may fairly
be said that they tried to do In an in
direct way what the laws forbade
them to do in a direct way.-From

Burial Of cir Walter Scott.

It was a bleak and stormy autumn
day, with an impenetrable gray sky
frowning over a lowering landscape,
when the mile-long funeral process
sion set forth from Abbotsford. With
one common voice OF woe the coro-
mach OF a nation walled over the hills,
the sad gray land being all in keeping
with the nodding OF black plumes and
the slow pace Of the horses, says a
writer In the Book-Lover. The road
traversed on his last long journey
had been one Of SCOTS favorlte drives,
and the most pathetic incident OF all
was the pause Of the cortege on the
brow OF Bemerslde Hill. The horses
that drew his llfeless body were the
carriage horses, and not knowing their
master was dead. they stopped OF their
own accord at the spot where Peter
Matheson had always drawn them up.
that Sir Walter, from where he sat,
might look down and enjoy his favor
Ito view. Every mourner noticed the
unexpected pause and the eyes Of the
grown men filled with involuntary
tears when they learned the reason.
Thus they buried Sir Walter Scott;
and Caledonia, stern and wild, re-
ceived into her arms her marvellous,
well-loyed child.

LOT COMING
STUDENTS AT STATE NORMAL
WILL BE MANY
Over Nine Hundred Expected
Some Changes in Faculty
All Laboratories Have
Been Enlarged

The Normal school opened Tues
day morning with about 100 stu
dents there to begin work. Indi-
cations are now that there will be
close to 900 students lin all depart
ments combined, an increase of about
100 over last year.
From all parts of the state, the
cities that have formerly sent from
one to three students, the number
will be doubled. Even from such
recognized school and college cities
as Boulder, Fort Collins and Colo
RADIO Springs, the number of students
will be more than doubled this year.
Some changes in the faculty have
been made during vacation. DR..
Croswell will be succeeded by Prof.
d. d. Hugh, formerly teacher of
psychology. as head of the training
department.
Dir. CIV. Barrett will be in charge
of the physical culture department
to succeed DR.. Way. DR.. Barrett
comes from the Hemingway GYM
nasium at Harvard university and is
also graduate of the Tufts Medical
college at Boston. He is a thoroughly
competent man, and under his direc-
tion even more attention will be
given to the physical development Of
the student than has heretofore been
the case.
Prof. W. G. Chambers from the
State Normal school at Morehead,
Mimi. will take the place of Prof.
Hugh in the psychological work and
other studies.
Miss Eleanor Wilkinson will take
the place of Miss Catherine Clute in
the domestic science department.
In all departments the equipment
has been greatly enlarged. Special
attention has been paid to the fitting
| up of the mathematical laboratory,
equipping this with the latest instru-
mentS.
Many new appliances have also been
added to the biological, physiological
| and chemical laboratories.
Special attention will be given to
| outdoor games, such as tennis, golf,
| basket ball and other athletic sports.
The art department will also be in
much better condition than it has
ever been. At the head of this will
| be Prof. Richard Ernesti, new man
at the school but of recognized artis-
| tic ability.

Students Came.

Two full carloads of Normal school
students arrived this morning from
the south. Some were new: others
had spent a season here before. 1t
was no trouble at all to distinguish
between the two. The young lady
who had already spent season here
was met at the train by from one to
four young men who grabbed up
band boxes, packages and grips be-
fore the fair owner had chance to
even touch the ground, while the
stranger looked timidly about her to
decide in which direction to depart.
