VIRGINIA SCHOOL BOOKS.
Scope of Investigation in Progress at
Richmond,

RICHMOND. Va. December 12-William
E. Byrd, chairman of the school book in
vestigating committee of the Legislature,
which will convene in this city tomorrow
this afternoon gave out the following state
ment regarding the scope and extent of the
investigations:
'The committee will put on the stand as
witnesses the board of education as consti-
tuted in 1904. when the last book adoption
was made The board was at that time
composed of the following gentlemen: For
eral Anderson. Superintendent Of Public
instruction Southall. DR.. Kent of the Uni
versity of Virginia, DR.. Tyler of Williams
burg, Capt. West of Norfolk county, Car
ter Glass of Lynchburg and Prof. Bowles
of Stanton. The committee has also sum-
moned Secretary of the Board Brent The
examination will be held in the senate
chamber The order of the examination has
not yet been determined upon"
This investigation is calculated to bring
out some startling results. For instance
the committee wants to know why Virginia
pays more for it's school books than the
states to the south and west and north of
Virginia Chairman Byrd has spent several
months looking into the book question, and
he Is prepared to make the examination
very thorough. 1t Is a known fact that
books in Virginia cost more than in any
other state along the Atlantic coast When
child is furnished with set of books for
the session that set is likely to be changed
the following year, making more expendi-
ture for the family and more profit for the
American School Book Company from
whom the books are purchased.

YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.
College-Bred Fellows Should Get in
Public Affairs.

PHILADELPHIA, December IL. The
need of young college men in politics was
emphasized last night by Isaac 'Sharpless,
president of Haverford College, speaking
before the Loganian Society in Roberts
Hall, Haverford His theme was '"The
Political Conditions in Pennsylvania" Dr.
Sharpless, who as a Lincoln party candi-
date was defeated for the legislature last
month, referred to his race for political
honors in the course of his address. He
said
II believe that there is great place for
young men of high morals in public life.
suppose 1 should not have accepted the
nomination which recently did except that
l knew that If declined could never ask
a young man from Haverford to sacrifice
something for honest politics. If anything
can be brought to bear upon the young COL
lege men of this generation to take up
politics because they are fitted to work out
the problems which belong to political So
ciety, then the cause of patriotism in this
country will not be lost. A very large
proportion of Haverfordians constitute the
leaders of the reform movement in Phila-
delphia and the adjacent vicinity, and
trust that the fight for pure politics will not
slacken in the future through any failure
on the part of the Haverfordians here to-
night to do their share"

ity that should be absolute, John D. Rookie
feller's annual income was told yesterday
for the first time automatically 1t will be
sec. 100000 when the year 1908 closes. Henry
H. Rogers and John D. Archbold were talk
ing with prominent flnancier when the
subject came up Of how fast the Oil king
millions were piling on one another. Said
Mr.. Rogers:
IT know for fact that Mr. Rockefeller
income this year will be sixty millions -
Mr.. Archbold assented. These two men are
closer to John D. Rockefelser's finances
than any other two In the world.
Mr.. Rockefeller's income every day of the
year Is, therefore. $164 1882. Every hour
OF twenty -four, waking or sleeping, playing
golf or skating, sitting in church or super
intending the new house at Pocantico, John
d. Rockefeller Is sure that $8,S4O98 Is ac-
cumuiating for him. This is $l14 minute.

The long pending Danbury, Conn, boy
colt case, involving allegations of con-
spiracy, brought by Dietrich E. Loewe and
Martin Fuchs against Martin Lawlor and
others, has been settled, Judge Plat of the
United States circuit court dismissing the
complaint. The decision is on a demurrer
of the defendants. The plaintiffs allege that
the defendants were illegally using their
label. and that a combination had been
formed to limit the plaintiffs trade. 1t was
also alleged that the defendants endeav-
ored to 'unionize" the plaintiffs factory,
and. failing to do SO, declared boycott
upon hats made by the plaintiff, which
Were found in the hands of plaintiffs GUS
toners in .other states than Connecticut,
notably California and Virginia
Judge Platt's opinion declares that while
it is obvious that the defendants sought to
curtail, and. If possible, destroy the plain
tiff's production of hats and it's distribution
of the product, there is no allegation sug-
costing that the means of transporting the
product or the product itself while in trans
portaton was touched, handled, OBJ
structed or in any manner actually inter-
fered WITH" and that there Is no allega-
ton that the defendants in any way
engaged in interstate commerce.
1.-The real question is" says the opinion,
whether a combination which undertakes
to interfere simultaneously with both ac-
tons is one which directly affects the
transportation of the hats from the place
of manufacture to the place OF sale''
The judge does not find that the Supreme
Court has as yet so broadened the inter-
pretation OF the sherman act as TO mt such
order Of facts as the complaint presents.
What the court may do. IL the matter
comes before 1t. is very uncertain, in the
judgment of Judge Plat.
The efforts that are being made here
against child labor are referred to by those
in Chicago who are laboring to the same
ends. At a recent conference in Chicago
between Chief Justie Olson and Factory
Inspector Edgar H. Davis. 1t was decided to
start crusade against the employment of
children in factories and sweat shops. The
plan of action decided upon was arrest on
a warrant and imposition of heavy Rne
for every violation.
Inspector Davis said he had little success
in prosecuting employers of child labor In
Justice courts. as the defendants were In
Under the new court he hopes for better
success. and will vigorously press the pros
ecution of those who violate the state law.

dent Lincoln rode down along our

Minnehaha county at st. Olaf and
we can see the settlers brave the
Indian dangers by gradually moving
up the Missouri until they got north
OF the Yankt0n reservation.
We have n vivid recollection Of the
famous Canton convention Of 1872,
and Bill Aurner's white mule.
We can see a glorious fight between
the Poncas and Sioux Indians Just
above where Niobrara is now and the
scalp dance that followed after the
utter route of the Sioux. 1t was a
wild night and Agent Hugo wanted
us to cross to the east side of the river
to save our hair but we didn't have
much hair to lose and concluded to
see 1t out with all its hideous orgies.
Ii you can imagine thousand de-
mons let loose on the parade ground
of the Pluto's realm you might come
near realizing that wonderfully fasci-
mating picture of hellish rejoicing
over death. 1t continued all night
and we had front place among the
snrging, dancing yelling devils. Old
Gray Face of the Yankton Sioux
crossed the river and helped the
Poncas win their glorious battle
against the Spotted Tail braves but
scorned to carry home with him one
of thirteen scalps taken in the fight.
Then we saw the iron horse crawl
into Bismarck and Custer with his
gallant troopers across the river at
Fort Lincoln.
Then we saw the country between
Yankton and Bismarck fill up rapidly
with thousands of Industrious farmers
and the wilderness became home
for civilization.
We saw James Bordeau's first sack
of gold nuggets taken out of the
Black Hills in 1872 and thro ugh such
information the great stampede began
that the world knows what followed.
We have seen all these things and
took part in many of the stirring
events noted before Mr.. Mcintyre and
family left the territory for Colorado.
What retrospect indeed? What
glorious picture is opened before us
as we sit in contemplation of the
wonderful things that have taken
place since that December evening in
1869. Every town in the state has
been built since that time with the
exception Of Sioux Falls, Canton, Elk
Point, Vermillion and Yankton, and
Bon Homme, then village, has dis

A Recollection OF Lincoln.

| Rev. A. S. Loveall of the NJ. e.
church of this city will deliver a
memorial address on Abraham Lin
coin Sunday morning, February II,
and the announcement recalls Mr..
Lincoln as we saw him last.
1t is now over 40 years since the
assasSin'S bullet closed the career of
one of the greatest men in the hist ory
of the world.
The writer first saw A Abraham Lin
coin in New York City in 1860. short
ly after his nomination at Chicago.
He came to New York City to de-
liver an address, and in company with
William H. Seward, was driven down
Broadway to the old Astor House.
That great business street was crowd
ed from Union Square to the City
Hall park to catch glimpse of the
"great rail splitter" of the west. The
writer was close to the carriage when
he and Mr.. Seward alighted, and none
who ever saw that smile of his can
ever forget it. t.
About one year later we saw him
again. This time he was on horse
back and we in the army.
He came down to Fortress Monroe
in the fall of 1861 to inspect the gar
rison and troops at Camp Hamilton.
General John E. Wool, veteran Of
the Mexican war, was in command Of
the department. He was proud of
the troops under his command and
ordered all to assemble at Camp
Hamilton for inspection and to show
the splendid efficiency of the men in
the manuel of arms and in field move
ments and sham battle was arrang-
ed. Our brigade was under the COM
mand of Gen. MAX Webber and my
regiment was commanded by John E.
Bendix, both veteran German revolu-
tionists of 184S. COL Bendix was a
splendid soldier and strict disciplin-
arian and knew what his boys could

alton that can be secured at
Sioux City or Sioux Falls. Why not
have a Canton hospital and thus save
patients the railroad trip and ex-

u. s. Marshal Bullock.

The editor had the pleasure of
meeting our old friend Capt. Seth
Bullock of Deadwood on his way
home from Sioux FallsFriday after hav-
ing assumed the duties of the office of
United States Marshal for the state.
Capt. Bullock was feeling youthful
and full of contentment. He said
he should try to make his admins
tration satisfactory to the department
of justice and the people of the state,
and those who know this gallant
officer are satisfied that he will make
the best United States Marshal since
the organization of the Territory OF
Dakota.
