Where Do People Head In?

The st. Paul Dispatch evidently does
not think much of Curtis, who was cleo
ted to represent Kansas in the senate.
The Dispatch says:
''And then the crowd proceeded to
caucus and select Curtis, and one more
is added to the crowd in the senate
,whose principal business is to see that
the design of the Almighty to commit to
,sundry Christian gentlemen the great
property interests of the country is not
thwarted by a lot of crank reformers
who worship not that God"
After all the hue and cry that has
,een raised throughout the country, the
,eople do not seem to have profited a
reat deal in the selection of United
) tates senator's. There is Guggenheim in
Colorado and Curtis in Kansas, both OF
them i'll sympathy with the interests
Where do the people head in, any
way!

Analyses American EmotionaIism. q

Professor franklin H. Giddings of the
of civilization traces the rise of emo
tionalsm i'm his article OH "The History
of American Morals" for The Times
Magazine. He says a population drawn
largely from the agricultural and arti-
san life, as that of the United States has
been, exhibits primitive, passions and
limitations, as well as primitive virtues.
Superstition, credulity and easygoing be-
lief in the occult and acceptance of the
wonderful furnish the material through
which epidemic emotion may sweep
like the flames of a forest fire.
Usually these classes are unmoved by
scientific ideas or philosophical specula-
tion, and a certain opposition to learn
ing and culture was early manifested.
The first great outbreak of emotionalism
was the witchcraft delusion, and expert
ence which paved the way for that later
and far more extensive emotional tu.
multi the great religious revival, start
ed by the preaching of Jonathan Ed
wards and George Whitfield and their
disciples.
The professor thinks it not surpris-
ing to discover that the Kentucky coun-
ties where the revival frenzies ragged
fiercest in 1901 are the counties where
lynchings occurred from 1882 to 1908. A
curious variation from the normal evolu-
tion was the failure of the invading
whites to reduce the native, Indians to
servitude For the first time in history
there seemed chance to create a civili-

The Rise Of Smith.

William Alden Smith, the newly
elected United States senator from
Michigan, is newspaper man. He rose
from the ranks of the newsboys, accom-
plished what a great many youngsters
have before him. He sold papers on
the streets of Grand Rapids during the
day and at night burned the candle low
in his efforts to obtain an education.
He was plucky lad He was made of
the right material. While the Smith boy
was striving to fill his mind with use
full information there We're Others of his
age who stood on the street corners
iGling away their time and devoting
hours that should have been better en-
ployed to questionable pleasures. Smiths
rise is but another example of what
can be done in this country by young
man who has sense enough to act with
prudence whenever the door of Oportu.
nifty is opened to him.
Mr. Smith is but one of many youths
who have pushed their way to the
front under circumstances that would
cause others to falter by the wayside
fearing that the pathway to eventual
success would be found filled with OBJ
stacles they could not surmount. Young
men and boys must not lose sight of
the fact that the age of opportunity is
not past There is yet place for the
right kind of man on the top round
o. the ladder The climb is not always
easy. but once the summit is reached
there should be no difficulty in main
tanning a foothold if the man possesses
the proper balance wheel.

RELATED BY MARRIAGE
Potz and Desf Were Friends For
Twenty Years.
From Tuesdays Daily,

FioHi lueSudy y Ddlly.
1t appears that the statement that
Henry Potz Nand Fred Deef, the princi-
pals in Saturday evenings shooting af.
fray, were hardly acquainted with each
other is hardly true. AT least, they
ought to be well acquainted, for POTTS
step mother is said to be an aunt of
Deefs wife. 1t is also said that they
have been good friends for twenty years
past, and that they never had any
trouble before. Both are peaceably in
clined when leaving liquor alone, but it
is said that drink irritates the temper of
both.
Deef at one time was resident Of
North Mankato and both he and Potz
are members of the German Catholic
church. w. r. Geddes, who is Deef's
attorney, remarked today that when the
facts fully come out upon the trial of
the case it will be found out that there
are two sides to the case. q
The revolver with which the shooting
was done was thirty-eight calibre

Good Roads Making.

S. III. Drum who has written several
interesting and instructive communica-
tions to Waseca paper on the subject
of good roads and the improvement of
bad ones, now discusses the action of
the good roads association, and offers
his criticism. He believes the recon-
mendations made by that body to the
legislature are altogether too sweeping.
He is opposed to the abolition of the
statute labor tax, and suggests that it
should be optional with town boards
whether the cash or labor system shall
be put in operation.
The law now provides that the vot-
ers in each township shall decide which
system shall be practiced, but as a
general rule they prefer the old system
which permits man to work out his
poll tax on the highway. Mr.. Drum
insists that ''some road districts are do
ing as much or more under the present
system than would be done under the
cash SYSTEM" Possibly Mr.. Drum is so
fortunate as to live in community
where the roads are being improved
under that plan which in most cases
has resulted in more harm having been
done to the roads than good.
The object of good roads legislation
should be to systematic the work on
the highways, and to inaugurate sim
pie plan whereby they will be improved
permanently and at the least possible
cost to the taxpayers. 1t is not the in
tention of the legislature to enact laws
that will allow the expenditure of state
and county money for the improvement
of streets in cities and villages, so those
living in the country districts should not
become possessed of the fear that
moneys raised for, the betterment Of
highways will be diverted from the chan.
nels for which they were intended.
The object of creating the state high
way commission was to benefit those
who reside in the rural or farming dis.
tricts and the hope is that the commits
sion will be enabled to stir up senti-
ment in favor of road improvement,
something that Mr. Drum would have
done if the matter were left in his
hands Mr.. Drum admits that some dis
trcts, and some town boards, do moth
ing in the way of road work." and he
wants to know show much such peo-
Pile will do under any system until
they are aroused and made to realize
that good roads are for their own per-
sonal benefit"
That's the whole thing i'll a nutshell.
The commission will seek to arouse that
interest and will proceed to build the
roads whether the sluggards want them
or not.

against him in their controversies. He
said. Others speak well of Deef and
express surprise that he should do any
thing of the kind.
Potz Well Spoken Of.
Potz is a son of the late Casper Potz,
an old and respected resident of the
county. He is about fortyfve years of
age, and has a family, and besides con-
ducting his large and fine farm he buys
and ships cattle. He is highly spoken
OF by those who know him, who say
any trouble, being very inoffensive.
The revolver is in the possession of
Chief Miller and is sealed up to await
Deefs trial. It contains three loaded
shells and two empty ones. Chief Miller
highly compliments Officers Bienaph and
Vogel on their efficiency and bravery
Had Deef succeeded in escaping he was
SO desperate and well armed that it
might have been a dangerous task to
capture him. 1t is very fortunate thai
the officers were so close at the time
and did such prompt and good work,
Deef's wife and children did not learn
OF the affair until after church yester-
day. They then visited him at the colln-
ty Jail.
James Meaeher called at the police
station yesterday and remarked that he
was sorry that he did not give Deef
good threshing and pay fine, as this
would probably have prevented the
shooting.
Numerous persons were passing along
the street when the shooting occurred,
and it created considerable excitement.
The shot was fired so close to Potz that
the powder burned his outer duck coat
where the bullet entered.
Chief Miller this forenoon signed
complaint charging Deef with having
committed an assault i'm the first degree

fore Potz will be able to testify ac-
cording to his physician. No effort will
be made to remove the bullet unless
complications arise The track of the
bullet is now being drained from both
sides and it is thought that it will heal
nicely.
Deef has retained w. r. Geddes as his
attorney, and still refuses to talk.
Deef now claims that he atNed i'm self

what he will base his case on when it
