REPENTANCE OF LAWSON.

Sow comes Mr. Thomas w. Lawson
with The statement that he has several
millions which he secured wronefully
Intends to give hack Eat the pioIer
time"
when win the proper time come, MI
Lawson?
In the matter OF making restitution for
ill-gotton gains, Is there ti'ne better
than the present time?
or perhaps you mean you win sIend
II all and IN this manner give II back
These are questions which must be
satisfactorily answered before The great
public OF these United States win take
Mr. Thomas w. Lawson seriously in his
newisole OF repentant sinner.
Sr Lawson has recently announced
that he has no political ambitions. In
the light Of this confession We are at
some pains to understand his present
attitude. II Is true he laid the founda-
ti0n for the terrific sensation which is
now pending In the Equitable Assurance
society, and he may be speaking the
truth when he says other and greater
sensations ~ the financial world will fol-
license TO go about the country posing
as he now does and confessinE that ne
robbed the public Of many millions 'ac-
corling TO the rules and promising to
give back the money thus obtained
Is Lawson crank?
Has she great white light in which he
has been basking for the p'tst fifteen
months turned his head?
He intimates IN his speech before the
Minneapolis chamber OF commerce that
he viii overthrow the entire stosk market
and make the American people sell every
dollars worth Of stock they own. Wnen
they have disposed Of It, he saws lac will
hx II so they viii never feel disposed TO
buy II hack
Such declarations have in the past been
taken in the Pickwickian sense. Can
Lawson make us lake them seriousy2
Whatever Iaws0n's intentions or hal
lucinations may be he Is stll a most IN
teresting figure in American l'fe TODAY
and his course will be watched By rli-
Hons He certainly iid start up some
thing in the system" and since he
threatens 20 keep IL going he viii not
be lost sight OF for a day.

soon land the four sew factories al
ready mentioned As a result OF bis
trip. Chicago capitalists have agreed
to furnish s6750o to purchase the
bonds Of four new factorie- which are
knock ng at the doors OF Fort Smith,
provided the Commercial club will
guarantee the interests on these bonds,
which. OF course. viii constitute a hrst
mortgage"
Il has often been explained that the
continual labor troubles IN Chicago
would result in factories seeking other
locat lous. The Fort Smith experience
Is an Indication OF this. The Fort
Smith plan is hardly desirable for
Guthrie. yet We should keep our eye
on Chicago Many men who want 10

Chicago are certain to go elsewhere

WHAT LUTHER BURBANK

1Ro OOFNEs
In the Country Calendar for July, w.
S. Harwood gives the following sum
mary OF the work OF the marvellous
Californian plant breeder:
"For tbirty-fve years Mr. Burbank
has been at wS-lt creating new forms
Of plant life and improving old ones. In
that time ne has created, by breeding
ana selection. more than two thousand
five hundred distinct species Of
plants
Some Of his creations are:
THE primus berry. a fruit unknown
before. made by the union of black
berry and raspberry, which union
scientific men said was impossible:
The white blackberry, very beau
tiful. with a delicaes flavor:
"The phenomenal berry a similar
creation, cross between a raspberry
and California dewberry. having the
color Of a raspberry and the shape Of
a blackberry, but larger than either,
far more productive, and with a flavor
surprising both.
''The plumcot Cresult Of the union
Of the apricot and the plum). Of rare
flavor and richness, again disproying
the dictum of the scientists;
"A plum with no pit and one with the
flavor Of the Bartlett pear;
"A walnut first so thin Of shell that
the birds could peck through II, after
ward bred backward along the path It
had come until shell Of the required
thickness was secured;
THe has produced a new thornless
cactus. combination of many other
varieties. which bears fruit, too, for
man and beast. and, which will re-
deem the desert places Of the earth;
he has done all these, and many other
marvellous things which may not be
mentioned here for lack OF space"
