the January number. The mag

100 pages with cover in colors, and

contents deal with Idaho and its
activities, as we'll as containing
range of short story and miscel.
laneous matter for the family read
Ing table, that makes creditable
and interesting publication. The
general get-up of the magazine,
together with its evidences of lib

well for its stability. Departments

various organizations in the state,

coLLEoEMEM cRAErERs.

Mr.. Hughes, the celebrated law
yer, who has been conducting the
investigation of insurance com.
panies on behalf of the New York
legislative committee, made speech
the other day at college dinner.
Hughes is plain spoken man, SO
he up and tells the assembled col.
legemen that he had found college
men just as eager for their share of
graft as low down, uneducated
men. That indicates that grafters
are born, like poets, or that there is
something sinister about the higher
education. Mr.. Hughes intimates
very clearly that the main end of
present day college training is to
teach young men how to make easy
money. There is little or no time
wasted in trying to make honest
and patriotic citizens. The country
at large is not much improved by
the colleges. The diploma instead
of being a certificate of good char
acter has become the sign manual
of educated grafters. This is bad |
state of affairs.
The idea has been that a college
training was power for the uplift
of men, that it made them purer
and nobler; that it qualified them
for leadership in righteousness and
armed and inspired them to war
against iniquity. 1t is true that ex-
perience in a great measure belied
the idea, but in the face of such dis
enlargement it has continued TO be
cherished. Mr.. Hughes disclosure
will have tendency to make all
classes of people suspicious OF all
collegemen. Honest collegemen will
find it profitable to burn their diplo-
mas and forget their Alma Mater.
To be recognized as an alumni will ,
be about as bad as to be identified as ,
a horse thief, and to belong to a col
lege fraternal society with Latin
Or Greek name will be as bad as to
belong to the Malta. {
After a while it will dawn on the t
schoolmasters that education which '
Ices not make men purer and nobler Z
s a curse, and then some radical ]
,hanges will be made, but probably \
here will have to be a different S
breed of schoolmasters before that o
light shines. t

PROSPERITY IN IRON TRADE
Big Increase in Pig Iron Production
Fails to Keep Pace With the
Heavv Demand

The Iron Trade Review" says:
"All indications point to great
prosperity during the remaining
months of the present year. and at
least the early months Of 1907.
Seven new blast furnaces, having
an annual capacity of SS0,O0O tons,
have been blown in this year, and
others will be in operation at not far
distant dates, but if the present de-
mand continues, it is doubtful whether
even this added capacity will be
sufficient
prices are advancing more rapid
ly toward those of the boom period
of 1902 than conservative interests
like to see, and in this tendency lies
the only danger. which now threatens
a long continuance of prosperity. Car
famine is threatened. Leading rail-
road men admit that, in spite of the
immense purchases of equipment dur
ing the past IL months, the railroads
will not be in much better condition
than they were last year to handle the
crops, which will be very large.

CLAIMED MONEY WAS ALL GONE
Entire Sum Alleged to Have Been
Stolen Lost in Stock Speculation,
He Saws,

Clinton b. Wray, charged with
stealing s125OOO from the Union
Trust Company of Pittsburgh, while
employed there as a teller, was ar
rested in Toronto, Canada. With him
at the time was Grace Loughrey,
member of a well-known family, of
Kittanning, Pa, with whom he be-
came acquainted two years ago by
talking to her over the telephone
while she was working as a central
operator at Kittanning.
1t was through Miss Loughrey that
Wray was traced by Perkins detec-
tives after he left Pittsburgh about
three weeks ago. He will be brought
back and committed to JAIL where
Clifford s. Hixon, the individual book
keeper of the trust company, who con-
fessed that he and Wray stole s125,-
900, is confined in default of $4,000
bail
Although the speculations of the two
trusted employees extended over a
period of three years, they were not
suspected until about three weeks
ago, few days after both went on
their vacations. Hixson was arrested
last week and. after being 'sweated"
for about "a hours, broke down and
confessed.
Wray then said, in answer to ques-
tions, that he had lost all on stock

The meeting was an adjourned ses-

three weeks ago, when Emery's name

vote then was a tie. Since then the

STANDARD OIL INDICTED
Chicago Grand Jury Convicts It
of Receiving Rebates.
TRUE BILL ON NINETEEN COUNTS
Maximum Penalty is Forty Times
Greater Than the Amount of
Benefits Received.

A true bill-an indictment for ac-
cepting rebates in the form of remit.
ted storage charges from the Lake

quired by the court to furnish s25, 900

The violations of the law cover a per-
iod from August, 1908, to February,

aimed at the corporation, is silent on
both officials of the oil company and
the railroads.
The indictment Is drawn under the

and the maximum in the 19 offenses
is S3S0,O00. The total amount of re-
bates in monthly instalments Is sS,-
501.72, The quick action of the jury
came as great surprise to the oil
attorneys.

railroad company handles the pro-
duct of the Standard Oil Company
were laid before the grand jury dur
ing the morning by two officials of
the railroad and one Government at
tache. j. l.. Clark, general Western
freight agent and C. A. Slauson, local
freight agent of the Lake Shore. and
George r. Roberts, tariff schedule ex-
pert for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, were the men who testi-
fed.

products.
