ROOSEVELT SEES OLD CABIN
President Spends Good Quarter Of An
Hour In His Old Cabin llnn North Dakota
Exhibit. a::

st. Louis, Dec. 5.-The state OF.
North Dakota and her exhibit in the.
agricultural building were honored as
no other states exhibits were honored.
North Dakota's exhibit. was the only
state exhibit that President Roosevelt
visited during his visit to the fair, and
even though there we're hundreds OF
other places for him to visit and see
during his brief visit OF q few hours
he saw fit to spend about fifteen min
utes in his old cabin. e: =. r.. ~ -
AS far as the president himself was
concerned no incident Of his visit to
the fair was more replete with inter
est to him than his visit to the
Roosevelt Cabin in the North Dako-
ia exhibit. In the log cabin which he
occupied for three years when a COW
boy in North. Dakota, the president In

seemed to live over again his life be-
tween 1882 and 1885, when he was
ranchman in the Bad Lands of west
ern North Dakota. He became en-
thusiastic and with the zest of a
schoolboy pointed out and recognized
the many articles of personal prop
erty which he used when punching
cattle" on the plains.
The presidents party proceeded d.
rect; to the agricultural building after
lunch, the president having expressed
a desire to see his old cabin in the
North Dakota exhibit and to which
Lieutenant Governor Bartlett had in
vited him. He entered the building
shortly after o'clock from the south
entrance and proceeded down the cen.
trail aisle Of the building to the North
Dakota exhibit. All along he was
talking to Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Alice,
Secretary Loeb, President Francis
and party generally about his life on
the plains, and relating instances con.
nected with the cabin.
AS he entered the North Dakota
space and caught sight of his old
cabin his face fairly beamed and with
his familiar laugh he exclaimed
.'There is the old place." Lieutenant
Governor Bartlett of North Dakota
greeted the president and escorted
him into the cabin, which he entered
eagerly.

club, Minneapolis. talked on the neccs-
sity OF the taking OF immediate steps
by the republican party in the legis-
lative control OF the large corporations,
now formed and being formed In this
country. He said in part:
"The main object to be aimed at Is
not general and promiscuous publicity
but is a repopularizing of the indus

be accomplished by a corporate policy

In the house OF commons George
Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland,
replying TO John Redmond, the irish
leader, denied that he had ever pro-
posed Irish legislation with the view
of giving home rule to Ireland. or as
a concession for the purpose OF chang
ing the views of the nationalist. He
also denied that he had any under
standing with the Irish party for n
purpose. He had been careful not TO
delude the Irish by rosy, ambiguous
periods, but he would insist that Ire
land derive a fair share OF the imam
cial of the empire.
Mr.. Wyndham did not believe the
Irish question would be settled Tor at

STANDS UP FOR NEBRASKA

Judge Holmes Quotes Facts Concerning
Nebraska's Criminal Record.
Judge f. p. Holmes, at the meeting
of the state board OF charities and
corrections at the First Christian
church. Lincoln. said:
ut is not true that the number OF
criminals in Nebraska is on the H..
crease, or has boen in the last few
years. and It is proven by statistics
that the number Of persons In the re-
formatory institutions of the state has
been decreasing at a rapid rate.
There is nothing the matter in the
homes or among the people in general.
In 1892 there was ar average OF 800
prisoners in the state penitentiary and
up to 1898 this average was held, but
that year II fell to 300.
I'm 1902 there were only 290 Grim
inals behind the bars of the peniten-
tiary, and in 1908 the average fell to
27O. The number OF inmates in the
industrial school at Kearney is gradu-
ally on the decrease. At present there
are about 14O boys there. In 1896 there
we're ninety girls in the industrial
school at Geneva, in 1899 there were
slNty-SlS, III l3ol 'heIe Wtie iol'y wv,
in 1902 ffty-seven, and for the year
1908 the average was forty-flve.
This can not mean anything other
than that crime in Nebraska Is on the
decrease. At the same time the popu-
lation Is on the increase, hence there
should be nothing to discourage the
workers for reforms. or cause them to
think their state is becoming more
wicked every day. In 1890 there were
fewer persons la reformatories in this
state than in almost any other. state in
the union. and Nebraska is making a
more rapid decrease in this number
than the great majority Of states. The
people ought to feel that this state
stands first, and not last, in it's success
in dealing with criminals
