influence Of John D. Rockefeller is so
potent in the teachings of the pro-
fessors of the University Of Chicago
that the campus smells like a Kansas
oil town.
Senator Dolliver called attention to
a book on political economy written by
Professor Myers in 1902, when a
teacher in the University of Wis
consin, in which good, wholesome doc
trines of political economy and socio-
logy were set forth along the same lines
held by Professor Ely of the same in
stitution. A few years later Professor
Myers went to the Chicago university
to teach and in 1905 wrote another
book the exact opposite to the one he
wrote three years before In his last
book he alleges that those who hold
the views he expressed three years be-
fore lacked good sense.
Senator Dolliver referred to the
views of Chicago university and made
a strong plea that american uni
versities be put on higher plane than
one which permits the influence of
money to shape the teachings of the
professors along the lines of sociology
and political economy" He regards
this as likely to become a dangerous
situation and one which sets up a false
basis of morals.

MOTORMAN HUGGED.
Presence of Mind Saves Party From
Death.

Death.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 20.-A
party of statehouse officials with John
Briar, secretary to Governor Cummins,
narrowly escaped death this afternoon
in streetcar accident on Nineteenth
street hill.
Secretary Briar and his wife were
taking the party to the Drake-Grin-
nell game. AS their car reached the
top of the hill, an empty sand car
started from a switch toward them.
Motorman Cell backed his car three
blocks down hill at terrific pace, the
sand car following just as fast.
Women shrieked and tried to jump
from the car. The motorman waited
until the cars were going about the
same speed, and then slowed a little
and permitted the collision. His cool
ness saved 100 passengers.
At the bottom of the hill, the
shedding car would have had to turn
sharn or go over an embankment. The
women Rugged the motorman and the
men gave him big sums of money for
mis- safe plotting.

BUILDING INSPECTOR GLAsFoRp
STOPPED WORK ON WOODEN
BUGGY SHED.
Behind Star Barns in West Alder
Street-Chsnges Will be Made and
Fire Walls Put Up.

Contending that the ordinance pro-
hibiting the erection of wooden build
ings within the fire limits was be-
ing Violated, Building Inspector
Glasford yesterday stopped work on
an extension to a buggy sned being
erected in the rear of the Star liv-
cry stable in West Main street. The
structure, which was about so feet
square, will be remodelled with brick
walls so as to conform with the re-
quirements of the ordinance.
Il had no intention of evading the
ordinance, but supposed that my
permit for the erection of an addition
to my stables gave me authority to
put up a wooden extension Charles
Taylor, proprietor of the stable, said
this morning. Il have lately doubled
the capacity of my barn and needed
an addition to my buggy shed. That
was the building the contractors were
at work on when stopped by Building
Inspector Glasford. AS a matter of
fact, I did not know just how far
the fire limits extended"
Inspector Glasford said this morn
ing that there would be no further
controversy over the matter as Mr..
Taylor had willingly consented To
change the building to conform with
the building and fire ordinances.

One of the most remarkable phe-
nomena in our industrial world, and
one about which comparatively little
is known, is the peonage system prac-
ticed in the South, whereby free ne
groes, citizens of the United States,
who have incurred debt to white men,
are compelled to 'work out" their
debts, often being retained in harsh
servitude long beyond the time repre-
sented by the amount of money they
owe. The abuses of the system have
been extensive and frightful. Some
time ago the Cosmopolitan commits
stoned Herbert d. Ward, the we'll
known writer, to investigate the whole
subject of peonage. His inyestiga-
tions are incorporated in an article in
the August issue. It's reading is earn
estly recommended to every one inter-
ested in the welfare of the nation.

We have protested against the fault
less even Dress of the hurried descrip-
tive writer, since evening dress is the
only male attire that excludes the possi-
bility of error. But long list could
be made of the phrases timed and
stale-which all writers use who write
like enterprising and hurried builders,
building with ready made doors and
window panes. For example, one never
reads an account Of Il railway accident
from the lips of the 'badly shaken"
passenger without finding that "all
went well until''-the thing happened.
But perhaps the most maddening of
these potted phrases is 'the rash act"
You will read how Mr.. Smith or Mr..
Brown sat down and wrote several long
letters to his relatives, how he had
with great care arranged his affairs,
how with the utmost delberation he
purchased poison, revolver new
razor and Il ball of twine; how he sent
his family away for Il holiday, went to
his room and conscientiously poisoned,
strangled, sliced and shot himself. mo
reason runs the inevitable comment,
