COMPLETELY IN
AMERICAN LIFE
REV. CHAS. WAGNER SAYS ITS
ONLY AN EXCRESCENCE.
He Believes Fundamental Principles of
Simplicity Will in the End Prevail
With Us-Country Life Typical of
Genuine American Living Lectures
Tonight on s'The Simple Life.''

Rev. Charles Wagner gave an illustra-
ton of his liking for simplicity this
morning on his arrival in Minneapolis
by announcing briskly that he would
like to walk to the West hotel in order
that he might get some exercise, see the
city and enjoy the glorious day. His
eye. was caught in passing by the Sal

said decisively to his travelling com
''That's a place we must VISIT
Queries on what had interested him
most in his American trip brought the
reply that he had been looking into So
clal and educational movements,

While Mr.. Wagner is delivering lee
lures in America, this is but an Incl
dent Of his trip, whose purpose is to
enable him to become acquainted with
America. He is speaking and holding
meetings several times day, inspired
BY his keen interest in all that he sees.
enable him to do this without signs Of
fatigue or tagging interest.
Professor Koenig in speaking of Mr..
Wagner's lecture before the Twentieth
Century. club in Chicago, commented on
the swell audience. made up largely Of
women VINO liked simplicity, but did not
practice it. "Why, they looked as if
they were going to a bali, many of them
were what we call 'decollette' in
France,' he said, but added that they
We're greatly interested and the occa-
sion was a pleasant one. -.
"People tell me that have been see-
ing: only the best,' said Mr.. Wagner
t'sand that I can It tell truly what condi-
tions, are, but I couldn It help but be
hopeful of country that has such a
best as a .regenerating force. I think
comple1ity is only an accident with you,
an excrescence, and that your funda-
mental principles of simplicity will in
the end prevail

ORATORS TRAINED
TO THE MINUTE
LIND AND PETERSON IN CONDI
TION FOR THEIR MEETING.
Ward Meetings Have Been Generally
Postponed for Tonight in Favor Of
the Big Joint Debate at the Interna-
tional Authorization Speaker
Will Consume an Hour or More.

The debate between John Lind and
James A.SPeterson this evening at the
international auditorium is the topic of
interest in political circles to day. The
general opinion seems stoSbe that Dunn
will gain little from the encounter.
Both republican and democratic COM
mlttees consented to suspend other po-
litical ward meetings for tonight to
permit everyone to attend the debate,
put this arrangement was apparently
made with some trepidation on the part
OF the republican managers and they
failed to postponeaas big meeting in tho
fifth ward at 510s Eleventh street S.
Senator Moses Fl. Glapp had been Sc
cured for this meeting and thousands
Of handbills were distributed as late
as last evening adyertising it. The
meeting with Clapp as the star attrac-
ton was intended. to dra wvoters away
from the debate. The spreading Of
this rumor was considered by repubh.
cans more disastrous THAN TO reverse
their plans in part, SO Senator Clapp s
engagement for this evening has been
cancelled, and D. p. Jones will be the
principal speaker Outside Of the fifth
ward m ice n other gathheEing? gen,
week. *sS,5 - 10 a, rs -. s ~ WIZ z5. -
General admission for the debate this
evening is free: !. Mr.. Lind is to speak
first for one hour. " Mrs: Peterson will
then use one hour and "a quarter, and
Mr.. Lind will finish! with! fifteen min
utes, for rebuttal. IF he makes any new
points in the rebuttal, Mr.. Peterson is
to have five minutes more to reply
\ professor Conway Mcmillan, who is
to be chairman, will also act as referee
in; deciding disputed points.
Benjamin: +. Ward has been appoint
ed sergeant-at arms for Mr.. Peterson
and w. II. Hatcher will act for Mr..
Lind. & These two have decided to per-
NIT no campaign advertisements of any
kind to be distributed or displayed.
The auditorium doors will be opened
at 7:l5 pm. and the debate is to begin
promptly.

DOES THE VARSITY
SHELTER FIREBUGS,

Were the recent university fires of
incendiary origin7
This question is causing university
authorities much worry. 1t was the
chief. topic around the campus today
and it is understood that the regent
members Of the executive committee
devoted their time to a discussion of
the question at a meeting of the com
mittee this morning. d. = =
When the cold MANI burned a
month ago there was much discussion
as to its origin. Spontaneous eeombus-
ton seemed the only logical solution of
the problem. When fire was discovered
in the mechanic arts building Saturday
night, and when it became known that
there was absolutely no fire in the
boilerrooms or. other part of the build
ing, people began to wonder. There
was tendency to discountenance the
incendiary idea until it became known
that Captain Guild, custodian of build
ings, had seen two men running away
from the building shortly before the
fire. The only. thing lacking to uphold
the incendiary theory is motive.

WANT JUNIOR BALL
Barbs Not Satisfied With Substitute of
$50 a Reception, r.a~:: #.,s

The junior ball disagreement at the
university is not yet over, if rumor is
correct. At the last meeting Of the
class it was decided by the class to give
a Junior reception. This left the field
open for the, ball Of the Pan-H Hellenic
association and obliged to change its
name by protest from the class.
The non-fraternity element, however
was not satisfied with letting the mat.
ter drop with. the. decision Of the class
to give a junior reception and com,
mittee was appointed to consider for
ing a junior class dancing party. A
day to hear the report of this commit
tee, and as the barbs allege* that the
fraternity men packed the last class
meeting and ran things as they pleased,
a lively session is expected.
