ACROSS SWEDEN BY CANAL.
waterway Ericsson Helped to Build

waterway Ericsson Helped to BuiIS
NOW Route for Tourist Travel.
At least one canal In the world ha,
become a ,favorite route of pleasur
travel. This IL the Gotta canal, tn,
building Of which converted that par
or Sweden south Of Stock holm into al
island, says the New York Sun.
The canal crosses the land from ses
TO sea, forming an uninterrupted line
OF communication 2G0 miles long be
tween the Baltic and the Kattegat. The
Journey takes two days and half.
Ships drawing ten feet Of water may
pass from sea to sea through this chain
or lakes, cuttings, locks and regulated
rivers constituting the Gotta canal.
Nlnety-nine years ago this gigantic
piece or work was planned and twenty
four years elapsed before communica-
tion was finally established. The names
of some Of the greatest men in engi-
neering science are associated with the
canal.
A part Of the River Gotta, which car
r1es the water route to the Kattegat,
had long before been canalized and the
famous Swedenborg, who was a daring
engineer before he was strange
dreamer and the founder of religious
sect, had a hand In the work But
when the time came to use the Gotta
river as part of the new canal the
antiquated locks were discarded and
the brothers Nils and John Ericsson
began their great career as engineers
by recanalizing the western part of the
Gotta river and replacing Swedenborg's
work by series Of eleven monumental
locks cut out Of the solid rock.
1t takes seventy-four locks to lift the
vessels from one level to another and
lower them again. Each steamer leav-
Ing Stockholm Is gradually lifted 3O5
feet above the sea before II reaches
The water parting at Lake Vixen in
The center Of the peninsula Then 1t |
s carefully lowered again from one
ock to another till it Is once more at |,
yea level in the city Of Gothenburg.
At many points where several locks
ire passed In succession the passengers
lave time to walk along the banks of
he canal for closer view Of one or
mother attraction such as the magnlf1-
ent falls Of Trolhattan, which are cir
by the eleven locks that
nade the Ericssons famous.
The whole trip is charming, for there
great variety in the constantly
hanging scene. The contrasts are
very abrupt as, for example,
7hen the vessel emerges from thick
orest Of silver birches upon one of
he big lakes, whose further shore can
be seen.
Some things are done In a quaint
ay on these little vessels. An ac-
'unr book with a pencil attached
angs on the wall and everybody is ex-
ected to jot down the number of
eals he eats and the extras he orders,
'ot up the total at the end Of the voy-
ye and settle the bill, according to biz
vn calculations.

Bible is Debarred from Chicago
Schools.

The Bible now stands officially
barred from Chicago's public
schools. With the holy writ are
excluded all books containing
biblical excerpts.
The fight that has waged for
weeks over the proposed intro
duction of scriptural literature as
supplemental reading in the
schools ended with this result
Friday afternoon, when the
school management committee
of the board of education dispos-
ed of the matter summarily.
The reason for the Bibles re-
lection is given by the trustees
as fear that official sanction of
its use might result in evok;ng
distrust of the integrity and an
sectarian character of the
schools"
The matter will not go to the
board as a body, unless it is
brought forward by some trus-
tees.
Rev. Rufus A. White, after the
committee acted, questioned the
propriety of having certain
books in the schools of an alleg-
ed sectarian character, which
now are in use. His suggestion
was dropped as if it were a red
hot stove.

Some New Senators.

When congress meets at
Washington next month the SEN
ate will have II new members.
Fifteen of the old members will
be missing by reason of death,
resignation or failure to secure
reelection, and there will be two
new members from the new state
of Oklahoma. If Rhode Island
ends its deadlock and sends some
one else in place of Wetmore
that will mean Is new faces.
Four seats that were filled by
Democrats in the last congress
will be filled by Republicans in
the coming congress. and the po-
-litical complexion of the senate.
counting in two Democrats from
Oklahoma and a Republican
from Rhode Island, will be 81
Republicans and 81 Democrats.
The Republican strength is now
so great that under no circum-
stances will it be possible for the
Democratic party to get posses
sion of the senate during the
next four years. Should Demo
cratic president be elected. he
would have to face a dominant
opposition in at least one house
of congress throughout his term.
The new senate will lack some
of the strongest of the former
members, such as Spooner, Nor
gan and Pettus, but also it will
lack some of the weakest, such
as Clark, of Montana, and Alice,
of Delaware. Some of the new
members have had experience in
the lower house. but more will
be new to Washington life. The
fre-eating Jeff Davis, formerly
governor of Arkansas, will prob
ably enter into competition with
Tillman to make things lively
"FiddIing Bob" Taylor, of Ten
nessee. will probably seek to re-
place his musical notoriety with
statesman's reputation. There
will be two new multi-million-
aires in the body, Guggenheim.
of Colorado, and Stephenson of
Wisconsin, one of them counted
on as reactionary, the other
proved in long political strug
giles as OF liberal sympathies.

The official majority of Will
son, Republican candidate for
governor in Kentucky is 15,142.
A total vote of s13,O42 was cast
by the Republicans, which COM
pared with former elections
shows a healthy growth of the
party. Taylor, Republican, was
elected governor in 1899, his to-
tai vote standing at 1874.
Bradley, Republican, was chosen
governor in 1895, receiving in all
l72,436. The total Democratic
vote on governor this year was
19S, 900 In 1900 the Kentucky
Democrats cast their highest
vote for governor, 230,273. That
was the election succeeding the
Goebel tragedy and brought out
an unusually full vote on both
sides. Parker carried Kentucky
in 1904 by over 1900. The Re
publican vote for Roosevelt was
2O5,277, or 7765 less than Will
son received this month, fine
showing for Republican growth.
In Missouri, as in Kentucky.
the Republican gain is steady,
and larger than that of anv other
party. 1t is sometimes said that
the majority for Roosevelt in
Missouri In 1904 was case of
one-lnan popularity. but the Re-
publicans in that year elected all
the state officers except governor
and a majority of congressman.
In 1906 the Republican vote in
Missouri was but a few thousand
behind the Democratic. A ma
jority OF young men who come
of age in Missouri are Republi-
cans and the same is true of new
comers who buy land in the state
for agricultural purposes, a good
bargain when prices and fertility
are compared. Missouri Demo
Gratis expect Bryan to carry the
state for them in 1908. The
Kentucky Democrats played this
same trump card, but lost Mis-
souri, Republicans look forward
to 1908 with confidence.

INDIGNANT
YOUNG LADIES
Plymouth Paper Rouses the Ire
of a Hundred or More Young
Ladies by Publishing Their
Names as Alleged Contestants
Without Their knowledge or
Consent.

A hundred or SO highly re-
spectacle young ladies, about for
ty of them in Argos, and others
in various townships are highly
indignant over the unwarranted
liberty a Plymouth paper has
taken with their names.
The newspaper in question
which has been trying out several
different schemes for getting adj
vertising and subscription pat
ronage recently struck onto the
old medicine show gag of voting
for the most popular young lady
and some tlrle ago announced
that the names would be pub
lished of the young ladies who
desired to enter the contest.
In the meantime an agent OF the
paper quietly made the rounds of
Bourbon, Tippecanoe and Argos
and other points and secured a
list of names of young ladies and
this list was published without
the knowledge or consent of at
least the great majority OF them,
as near as can be learned none
of them being consulted in the
matter.
The scheme is identical with
that worked by the travelling fake
medicine show where the E. L..
Marks entered spirited contest
between a half dozen thoughtless
young ladies for the most popu-
lar lady in the audience, the f.
L. Marks getting the experience
and the travelling fakirs the mon
ey. In this case the newspaper
attempts to enlist each one of the
young ladies, whose name they
have secured and published, in a
subscription soliciting scheme
whereby she is to put forth a des-
perate effort in securing subscrip-
tions. for each one of which she
is allowed 50 many votes to es-
tablish her own claim as being
the "mest popular girl in the
county"
What makes the young ladies
indignant is not SO much the use
of their names without their con-
sent as the implied fact that each
of them is not already most pop
ular and sensible and possessed
with too much self-respect te get
out and hustle up subscriptions
for the privilege of voting them
selves popular and at the same
time taking a long chance of get
ting nothing for their efforts
while the newspaper in question
like the fake medicine show, gets
he money.-Argos Reflector.

Hanly and Folk to Aid the Chica-
go Crusaders.

Governor Folk, of Missouri
Governor Hanly, of Indiana, an,
former Mayor Jones, of Minneap
Oils, have been asked to take ;
hand in Chicago's Sunday saloor
closing fight. Invitations for tn,
two Governors to come to Chica
go and speak on enforcement O
the closing law were sent to then
Thursday. With the Governors
and former Mayor Jones in Chi
go it is planned to have a mon.
ster mass meeting in which the
sentiment of the public in regard
to Sunday closing can be display
ed.
Arthur Burrage Farwell has
announced that he will call for
volunteers to 60 through the diff
ferent sections of the city next
Sunday to gather evidence
against other saloon keepers.
These volunteers will also be re-
enforced by detectives from the
Central Detective Agency, work
ing under the direction of Mana
ger F. A. Campbell.
One feature of the saloon keep
rs trials before Judge Fake De-
cember 10 will be the attendance
of women and men who are in
terested in Sunday closing and
the temperance movement. 1t is
planned to invite a number of the
members of different temperance
'rganizations to attend the trial
in order that a big campaign of
education can be started through
out the city.
President Farwell was told
that the saloon keepers were
banking on the closing move
ment dying out for lack of finan-
cial support. The saloon keepers
do not believe that the church
people will contribute funds
steadily to the movement and for
this reason are seeking all the
delay that they can before COM
ing to trial.
IF the saloon keepers think
that the people in this fight are
not stickers they will find out
their mistake before long," said
Mr.. Farwell. 1--WE are in this
hight to win, and we will win if it
takes ten years to do it. | know

Sunday closing movement, and

A Good Occupation.

In the November bulletin sent
out to County Superintendents
by State Superintendent Cotton,
he has the following to say in
regard to teaching: "The op-
portunity offered to young men
and women to teach and at the
same time get an education and
prepare for better places ought
to bring the very best material
into the calling. 1t is hoped that
more young men will see fit to
prepare themselves for the work.
1t may not pay SO we'll in dollars
and cents as few other things,
but it will pay. In clean. happy
service and in the possibilities of
self-culture it will pay wonder
fully. And in money it will now
give living. al! in ALL" how

Foraker Throws Down the
Gauntlet.

Senator Foraker's bold an.
nouncement of his candidacy foi
the presidential nomination is
the sole topic of discussion about
the government buildings and
the hotel lobbies in Washington
where senators and representa-
tives are gathering in force.
Even the presidents friends ex-
press their admiration for the
fighting Ohioan's nerve. 1t is ex-
pected that no other Republican
dare do what Senator Foraker
has done. His defiance OF the
president on the floor OF the sen
hte during the last two years net
ted him nothing but ignomnious
defeat every time the opposing
forces reached a voting show
down. and often his was the only
voice raised in opposition to the
Roosevelt power. In spite OF all
the reverses he has sustained, in
spite of the countrywide popu-
larity that the president enjoys,
Foraker again throws his gaunt-
let into the arena, and in spite
of the long line of victories they
have won. the administration
gladiators feel icy chills along
their spines at the prospect of
again doing battle with him.
They claim to be certain they
will beat Foraker to a standstill.
Almost everyone but the dough-
ty senator himself will concede
that. But though they win they
will know they have been in a
fight and the administration can
didate for the presidency-Sec-
retary Taft-is quite likely to
limp into the national conven-
ton next summer looking some
what the worse for the encounter
with a divided Ohio delegation
behind him.
Political wise ones about the
capital see i'm the Foraker def
even more than the probable di-
vision of the Ohio delegation.
They regard it as the crystaliza-
ton of anti-ROosevelt sentiment.
They see in it the hands of
Hartman and of Rockefeller; OF
the ''reactionaries" who are
preaching less strenuously and a
return to the political primers of
the fathers, of that element of
the business world who lay the
country's ills at the presidents
door; in fast of the entire list of
forces, corporate. sectional and
individual that have lined up in
opposition to the present occu-
pant of the White House. Sena-
tor Foraker believes that he can
solidify all those scattered frag-
ments. and mould them into a
force sufficiently strong to tie
the presidents hands in the ma
tional convention. If he can balk
the president in his accredited
ambition to name his successor,
even though he comes out of the
ring badly punished himself, the
battling senator will doubtless
count his hurts as marks of vic
tory.

Exposes Alleged Plot to Rob
State Treasury.

An unsigned letter received
Friday by State Treasurer Oscar
Hadley, exposes an alleged plot
to rob the state treasury. AL
though Mr.. Hadley and his dep.
uty, Acil Alexander of Marion
do not take the letter seriously
the treasury is being guarded al
night by those connected with
the office. For some time it has
been the custom-inasmuch as
large sums of money in big bills
are kept in the vaults of the
treasury, for either Mr.. Hadley,
Mr.. Alexander or Virley r,
Rudd, clerk and bookkeeper. to
sleep in a room adjoining the
vaults. In a case in the room a
rifle and a revolver are kept. All
three of the officials in the treas
urer's Office live outside of Indi-
annapolis, and they have an ar
rangement whereby one of the
three spends the night in the
State House.
The letter received by Treas,
urer 4adley was written in Indi-
annapolis. 1t was mailed, accord
ing to the postmark, at 2 D. m,
Nov. 25. 1t is written in pencil
and in a large, bold hand. The
letter said the treasury would
have been robbed last July, but
that the plotters quarreled and
abandoned tine idea. However.
the letter says another plot is
being formed, in which the writ
er has not been included. Two
negroes, the letter says-one of
the alleged negro plotters being
named-were to watch the State
House policeman, Capt. Thomas
Shannon, while two others were
to rob the treasury, depending
upon the other two to warn them
of any danger of capture.
