.SAGEBRUSH MATCHMAKERS
OVERRIDING THE THING
By W. W. NAUGHTon.

interest than it was supposed IL would

sible match OF the bunch.
jenries said some time before MS re-

crossed gloves with Peter Jackson,
Hank Griffin, and other coloTed broth

man in his career did many foolish
things which he couldn't do when he
became champion,
Billy Delaney gave him moral sup

argument sprung by Delaney. I think

The date of their coming is not yet
definitely known. Mr.. Randle wrote
that he would be here between the 10th

may be delay of several days from
these dates, as some sof the factory
men may not be able to get away at
the time stated. The first evidence OF
the forward movement % Flint, New
Castle and Peru was the arrival OF the
factory delegations to look over the
places. Flint secured score of fine
factories, New Castle, tWenty-one, and
Peru a bunch OF sixteen large factory
buildings. Winona ought to be able to
do even better than auy of these cities

Taft's Opening Cum"

Secretary Taft s speech last evening
cepted as giving the keynote for the
congressional campaigns of republican
candidates. It is fair summary of
achievement, notably restricted to this
administration. He "po hts with pride"
to no more ssremote object than that,
His enumeration Of what this congress;
has done is the severest possible critic
ism Of it's predecessors who neglected
doing what was as essential to be done
then as now The same responsible
leaders who permitted this congress to
act sat in former congresses and reftgs-
ed consideration to these same measures.
Their present submission now but at
tests the value of big stick in stout
presidential hands.
The secretary's argument for dissolu-
ton of the Solid South may not avail,
for impressions drilled in as were those
made by legislation following the Civil
war are hard to eradicate. Until the
negro ceases to be a politial problem
whose solving congressman seek with
annual bills to enforce an unenforceable
constitutional amendment, the South
may be expected to remain "solid. .
It rests with the republicans Of the
North to take the steps that will break
up that solidity When that impression
is removed econmic forces will work
division of parties, but not before.

City Became Serious on
Local Improvement
Reference was made a week or two
ago to the efforts at Winiona, Mimi, to
secure new industries. An association
was formed there some time ago, when
500, 900 was subscribed tocarry out the
proposition. The money was mostly
invested in real estate, a part being re-
served for promotion purposes.
The manager was sent eastward to
interest people in the proposed establish

This movement was started only
a few months ago, and the success of
the plan is suggested by the following
item from one of the papers:
When Mr. Randle and his delegation

a smash and they will get some cheap
tomatoes on forced sales.
The syndicate is said to hold about
| 2, 900, 900 cases. There was a profit at
one time on paper. But to turn the
goods into case at the profit prices was
not so easy. Now 1t is feared that in
case the banks continue calling loans
and selling out the tomatoes the market
will fall below the prices paved by the
syndicate.
The cornering Of a food product is
much simpler in the figuring out on pa
per than in the actual operation. Lett
.er, WHO cornered wheat, had immense
paper profits at one time, but his was a
bad finish. Nearly everything has been
cornered at one time or another, includ-
ing corn, oats, barley, coffee, copper,
fax, and numerous other commodities.
Failure attended these operations more
often than success. Slower and more
methodical work of the Standard OIL kind
seems the safest and surest way of get

P. Q. Dept. to aid Geological Survey

P. .. Dept. to Aid Geological Survey
The State Geological Survey has
been fortunate in securing the cooper
ation of the postoffice department in
collecting information on the roads Of
the state There are no persons wins

day at all seasons of the year as the
rural delivery carriers, and none who
are better qualified to tell Of them
They know every rut and bad spot and
every broken clggverG as we'll as the
good places.
In response to % request from Mr..
w. O. HotcfsAiss, who has charge of
Econonzic Geology for the state sur
vey, the fourth assistant, postmaster
general Fsas, sent. a letter to- postnnasters
in the state asking thena to furnish

alton desired about ROads along the

Survey in position to- advise as to the
best methods, Of making roads in any

1t is of. interest ttn note that Wis
consin is the. second state in which this
novel method of collecting data on
roads is used. The scheme was orig
mated and first used in Illinois by A.
N. Johnson Of the Illinois Highwa u
Commission. The fact that the POST
office, whose carriers form an extreme
ly small part of the travel over the
country roads, is anxious to cut ax-
penses by having better roads fore its
carriers to travel, is strong evidence
that the farmers themselves would
save much money if the roads We're i'm

Educational Discussion.

Supt. F. L. Ransom of Redfeld,
d., well known to many in Ladysmith
read paper before the South Dakot
superintendent in which he said:
Is not intelligence stronger thar
tendency? Aye! it may even be mac.
stronger than habit.
But if that which is acquired by ma
tire is allowed to have full sway, if il
is encouraged, if it is stimulated by
every contact with humanity, certain
it is that it will be the strong factor ir
the life and will likely rule.
''But let us suppose the law of inner
itance is not toward the bad but toward
the good. In this case we are born
with better possibilities than our par
ents, and our children are likewise born
into the world with still better inherited
qualities than we. How then can they
be worse than we unless it be environ
ment that influences them?
And still again, and this exhausts
the possibilities, suppose there is no
distinct law of inheritance that makes
the race either better or worse. IF the
race is better it is not the fault of the
ancestors but must be due to surround
ings. And so if the world is worse we
cannot lay it at the feet of the past but
must again come to the conclusion that
it is post-natal influence.
''Let me summarize into as few
words as possible:
'Inherited tendencies are, as whole,
either good, bad or neutral
Inheritance bad, environment bad,
result: Probable degeneracy. Pos
sible moral uplift, that is, the will pow
er of the race may make it win despite
all opposition.
Inheritance bad, environment good,
result: Not certain, but this case gives
us the best we can do if the environ
ment is as good as it can be made.
inheritance good, environment good,
result: Moral success almost certain.
Possible degeneracy, but if so it is I'M
avoidable.
Inheritance good, environment bad,
result: The struggle is directly be-
tween the two and we can accomplish
results for those who now are, only by
improving the environments.
inheritance neutral, environments
bad, result: Probably bad. There will
be hope in corrected environment.
Inheritance neutral. environments
good, result: Probably good.
This then is the conclusion, what
ever the inherited tendencies of the
generation may be, whatever of birth
our children possess it is the environ
ment that must raise them from a low
state of morals to any higher plane OF
ethican action.
'"Thus it will be noticed that the
great problem before us is not one O:
Inheritance Since we are trying to as
certain the cause of the low standard O
ethics among our pupils, let us compar
the influences surrounding the children
at school and on the play ground, wit
the influences when at their homes o
