University of Wisconsin agricultural
college, declares that the seeds of mrs
radicalism were sown by the unfair
social life at Yale college. Although
he has not been in Madison long
enough to judge local conditions. Mr..
Patterson said today that western uni
versities are more democratic than
eastern institutions.
1.-The control Of Yale life by the sons
of the wealthy" declared the Chicago
an, who is a Yale graduate, 'is muo,s
the same as the dominance of the large
corporations in civic affairs. The less
opulent students, although. hard work
ing and worthy, are unable to make
the honorary societies, while the sons
of the 'Morgans' and Rockefellers'
control the elections. This first ex-
ample of class distinction and discrim-
ination aroused my resentment toward
wealth and modern conditions"
Mr.. Patterson arrived in Madison
with his family at the opening of the
short course, and is residing in pleas
ant home in Wingar Park. His course
in agriculture is preparatory to the
occupancy of farm which ne has pur-
chased near Chicago. 1t is probable
he will affiliate during his stay here
with the socialist club Of the univer-
sity

Is WELL STAGED.

Judging from newspaper reports
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" is
destined to be one of the biggest sue
cesses of the present theatrical season
and when Miss Alberta Gallatin ap-
pears as Charles Majors lovable he
roine at the Keylor Grand next Sat-
urday afternoon and evening, Dec. %,
she will probably be greeted by many
persons who have read the book.
Those who visit the production will
doubtless find proof in Miss Gallatin's
play, aided by recollection Of Mr.. Ma
jor's when Knighthood Was in
Flower" that no contemporary novel;
list has happier knack than this Hoo
sier author of humanizing historic
personages. This is true, even though
the subjects of his pen have long been
myths to the modern mind from their
long residence on the pinnacles of
fame. In reviewing the real life rO-
nance of Dorothy Vernon Of Haddon
Hail." Mr.. Major brings back the bril-
liant Elizabethan era, the most pic
turesque and dramatic of English his
tory. The spirit Of the days of Eliz-
abeth of England and Mary, Queen of
Scots, who waged their feminine but
none the less fatal warfare, are set
out in the strong, terse fashion of a
writer whose facts lend themselves
readily to the skill of such dramatist
as Paul Kester.
AS an example of the care and lib
crafty with which Manager Ernest
Shipman has produced the play, it is
only necessary to state that one of
the entire sections of Haddon hall has
a place in the settings. This is one
of the most celebrated scenic effects
ever attempted and was constructed
after photographs taken for this pur-
pose. 1t is evident that those who
attend the production will have one of
the real, genuine treats of the season
before them.

tract releasing all her claims against

room during the day but said that

cause complications which would in
terfere with a settlement and she did
not deny that she had been watched
by a detective.
When McCalley and his attorney

stand it.

EMIGRATION DESOLATES ITALY.

Tracts Are Out of Cultivation.
LONDON, Dec. 2O.-Professor Villari
Of Italy has. just delivered an inter-
esting lecture on the seamy side of
Italian emigration, which, he says, is
threatening to become an exodus, as
whole tracts of Italy have fallen out
Of cultivation for lack of laborers
He pointed out that the number of
emigrants had increased from 100000
in 1876 to 726,0OO in 1905 and was still
increasing. The professor declared it
had been observed in the provinces of
Udine and Belluno that the money
emigrants sent home from America
tended to increase alcoholism.
From the beginning of spring to the
end of autumn almost all the men in
that country were absent, and work
in the fields was left to the women, to
the great injury of their health and
that of their children.
Emigrants who had been in America
for five or six years returned with a
good sum Of money, but to obtain it
quickly they had undergone all sorts
of privations and frequently returned
ruined in health.
These returned emigrants usually
bought a field and built house. The
value of the land was increased, and
the wages of laborers rose, but agri-
culture made little progress, as the
small proprietors were lacking in cap
ital and knowledge.

Had it not been for Senator Spooner
