Letting Light Into Russia.

The good Samaritan of the days of old has his proto-
type in modern times and in the very midst of the greatest
evil of our day.
The great war between Russia and Japan was one of
the blacklist of the generation, yet out of it has
sprung of the enderest instances of human helpful
ness known to this prosalc, practical old world.
At Himej in Japan, in the midst of the war; japanese
officers established school where Russian reading and
writing taught the Russian prisoners of The
60 pupils at the start rapidly increased to 1000 Hundreds
of poor peasants who entered the densey ignorant Of
all their own immediate environment will go back
home with the bindfold removed, with the wide world
spread out before Them and with the voices Of the
whispering to tmeh wisdom.
AND THIS FROM AN ENEMY!
Where these Russian prisoners taken in battle had lit
tie to hope for the way Of mercy they accorded
sublime charity broad the human mind compre
hend and as deep as the heart can feel.
Tough old human nature, at its worst, war; is
not wholly bad, after all.
We need not go all the way back to biblical times to
find proof that made in Gid's image-and
ionay shows it.
1t irony of fate that these poor Russian peas
ants had to be driven 5000 miles away to Mancura
PEELED to fight the Japanese be taken prisoners and then
be taught by their enemies to read and write their
language.
1t is extraordinarily expensive way for Russia to ed
ucate her people.
But possibly, had the Russian peasants not been in
dense ignorance there could have been no war;
Possibly but for the ignorance of the peasants there
could be Russian auocracy grind it's own people and
to menace the peace of the world
Had Japan been moved by desire to vitality weaken and
eventually destroy the government of the di
rect method could have been written than that of teaching
the Russian peasants to read and write.
Every peasant who returns to his native district with
that spark of education will become amid the gloom glow
ing torch.
New sparks will be struck new torches will be kndled

HISTORIC FORT
SOLD for $4,000

JOHNSTOWNs N. Y, Oct. 5.-An
interesting real estate transaction
wos placed on record in the county
recorders Office today. 1t involves
the sale of the lands belonging to
the Akin estate, and embracing Fort
Johnston, the oldest baronial man
sion in the United States. to Ethan
and Louis Akin of Grundy county,
Iowa, for a consideration Of $4,000.
The estate was divided into 20 par
GELS. The first parcel sold to the
two brothers included Fort Johns
ton, which for many years has been
the Mecca Of students of history.
The fort was sold for $4,000.
Various historical societies have
at different times contemplated
buying the old stone fort and man.
sion, but the Akin family would
not part with it at any price. 1t
Is now believe that the big estate
will be divided into building lots,
and that the old fort, which is still
in good state of preservation, will
be left with few acres of ground
around 1t. The fort was the first
substantial building erected by Sir
William Johnston in this section
of the state after he had received
a grant of $4,000 acres of land from
King George II. of England. This
fort was the scene of many Skin
mishes with the Indians and also
of many peace conferences with
the red men whom Sir William sub.
dued.

There were football games at most
of the big eastern schools yesterday,
but they were intended for practice
games and were against weak teams
so little information could be gained
from them.
Much comment was caused by the
scoring of Ohio Wesleyan against
Michigan last Saturday. In fact the
game was tie. However this is not
so strange. The Ohio team begins
training much earlier than Michigan
and is in good shape whereas the big
school has but begun. Again the
Michigan game is an event for the
Ohio team and a practice game for
Michigan and the big school does not
let it's men loose.
o o o
Ohio Wesleyan was at one time
coached by Yost Mchigan's great
coach, and has played good foot ball
ever since. 1t is noticeable that what
ever Yost spent time coaching those
schools have maintained a fot ball
standing and enthusiasm ever since.
Iowa's team was brought to the front
by Yost.

ADVOCATE IMPORTANT
CHANGE Of LAW

CHICAGO, Oct 5.-Several hun
dred delegates, representing the
various trade, industrial and pro-
ducing interests of the country, met
here today for a three days confer
ence, in which various matters con-
corning interstate commerce, trans
portation rates, etc, will be con-
sidered. A movemtn is to be start
ed to induce congress to vest the
interstate commerce commission
with additional powers, SO that,
where a given transportation rate
has been challenged and, after a
full hearing has been found unreas-
enable, the commission may decide,
subject to judicial review, what
shall be reasonable rate to take
the place Of the rate objected to.
The ruling of the commission is to
take effect Immediately and shall
remain in force until it is reversed
by the court of review. An effort
will be made to arouse public in
terest in the movement.

Great Britain after leaving the
United States is indicated by dis
coveries in London and Manchester
that a man similar in appearance,
style and aliases has been making
love to women on wholesale
scale. He has already disappeared,
however, and his victims mourn
him as completely as did the WITT
hoff wives and fiancees across the
water.
The first suggestion that WITT
hoff was in England followed the
publication in a Manchester Sun
day newspaper of the mans photo
graph, with an account of his mari
tai escapades. Many ptople in Man

and let him have a diamond and
ruby ring, which he offered to have
repaired. Another one of his cap
lures was a beautiful young Jewess
with a dowry of $1,000. The dentist
negotiated his coming marriage
with her through Jewish marriage
broker, and after the engagement
the young girl was sent by the den
fist to Germanay, where he promis-
ed her he would shortly follow to
marry her. One young girl, whose
mother objected to her engagement
with the dentist, was about to be-
come engaged secretly to him when
he disappeared.

Among Witzhoff's aliases were
Weston and Goldstein. In the trunk
was also found silhouet, which
shows a remarkable likeness to the
picture of Witzhoff. A note book
full of the names and addresses of
women listed as Patients of the

trunk. Under the name of DR.. Geo.

housekeeper, and the wife of a

A Strike for the Sake of Mules.

The strike is of the great modern methods of
serving the rights of man.
1t is discovered also to be method of defending the
rights of mules
At an Indiana mine 125 miners have gone strike be-
cause the mules not being given enough to eat,
Here, say all men, is just strike
The helpless, harlworkked dumb brutes, requiring
only their living in return for their labor should have all
they want to eat though 125 must be idle and
great industry paralyzed to secure them Justice
Some rights are too sacred for to stop In maintain
ing them to count the cost Of money
The humane spirit and the sober of the whole peo
pie will ndorse strike in behalf of hard-wOrked mules
that not given enough to eat.
No self-syled sociologist theorizng economist will
question the justice Of tor the true economy of it. for
mules property and if not sufficiently fed they give less
service and deteriorate in Value
Yes all will agree that the who refuses to enter
into strike because his companion, the mule is not get
ting enough to eat is not worthy the of manhood
But let it be the workers wife and children who
getting enough to eat-et it be the worker himself
who is underpad and underfed-and then the strike is
garded with widely divided opinions.
Then sefstyed socologiss and theorzing economists
spring to declare the strike conspiracy against
ployers right to conduct his business he fit
Such is the vast difference in certain schools of pilos
ophy between the rights of undered human workers. their
wives and children and the rights of underfed mules!
The mule is a worthy animal. But the theory that his
claim to enough to eat is superior to that of the working
not justified the ground of either economic
