 A Minneapolis life insurance off, cial has just been sent to prison for three years for converting the con- pany's money to his own uses. The man made the mistake of not giving a fat contract to his son or son-in- law and dividing the profit with him in secret. This might have saved him from the penitentiary if the Jerome theory prevails in Minneapolis that the form is everything and the sub stance nothing. and that the intent is either innocent or criminal according to whether the trustee of other peo- ple's money puts the plunder directly into his own pocket or stuffs it into somebody 7lse.-New York Press.

CANNON IS WISE.
Says the Coming Campaign Will Be
 Important One for Republicans.

Chicago, Sept 15.-Speaker Joseph G. Cannon made a short speech be- fore the republican state committee, which met here Thursday. The re- form forces, to whom the speaker gave most of his attention. were clas- sified by him as ''the kickers." He soid that, inasmuch as their object seemed to be the immediate reforma- tion of the entire world, they were hopelessly beyond argument, and therefore the best course for sensi- ble man to pursue with regard to them was to leave them alone.'
 This is a mighty important cam paign for the republican party" con- tinued the speaker, "and we've got enough to take up all our attertion with things that are going to happen right now without bother'ng about things that can't be mended or with tn.nss that aie going to happen two years from now.
 Some people are a great deal bothered about what is going to hap pen in 190s.' Mir Bryan is bothered. He was met the other day in New York by great crowd of 10000 peo- pie, who came together to greet him on his return from Europe.
 Now Mir Bryan had been travel ing. and We supposed he had been informing himself. We expected that he'd come back home as a man who had gained experience and knowledge from seeing different men and coun- tries. but he no sooner makes a speech than we find him full of the sane olG heterodox notions and ideas.
 Hut as soon as MT Bryan discov- CTS that these ideas are not al.ogsth- CT popular with his party than be begins to go easy on them. Now he says that of course he's right. but that nevertheless he will accept a nomination from the democraty par ty even if 1t does not adopt his Ideas. But he tells them he's right. and they'll come to 1t in the future.
 NOW we've got better things to do than to bother about what's going to happen two years from now. Those things will take care of themselves when the time comes. What the re- publican. party has to do is 10 is.ke care of the things that are rp now. and that's what 1t Is doing"

A new theory of earthquake ori- gin, which is really an extension of the old, has been put forward by Major E. G. Harboe. He believes that the focus of the earthquake, in- stead of being restricted in size, "ramifies with varying degree of initial violence over nearly the whole of the seismic area" That is. that the earth rupture Is like the break in a brittle substance, and that the great crack is surrounded with many subsidiary cracks running in all di- rections from the former. It is said that this explanation does away with many of the peculiarities as to speed of propagation and varying violence, for which there was no apparent ex- planation with the old hypotheses.
