SAYS the Centralia Courier; Gin
the School of Journalism the Uni
versi ty Curators have grated an
other Chair upon the body poll
tic. Its only results will be to pro-
vide a soft berth for a lot of ex-
journalists who haven't practical,
common sense enough to make a
success of running q newspaper,
and to divorce the tax payers of
the state from a big wad of their
hard earned stipends. And why
should the state be required to give
a young man newspaper expert
ence any more than it should DO
required to give him experience in
merchandising or any other voca-
ton in life? When the state edu-
Gates a young man gratis, hasn't
it done enough for him without
putting his knowledge into peac-
teal use for him? Next thing we
hear will be Chair of Sustenance
to feed and clothe the graduates
until they can make connection
with a soft snap that will take care
of them. A little more red blood
dancing through the veins of vigo-
rous, stalwart young manhood
that has the courage to fight the
battles of life unaided by the state,
is what is needed in these degen-
crate days of graft"

with having about all his family

Mrs. Bradley and their two sons,
Bryan and Fielding, in particular.
Regarding Mrs. Bradley, the state

THE %queerest instance of official
procedure known to this country
was that attending the kidnapping
of Haywood, Pettibone and Meyer,
charged with the murder Of ex-
Governor Steunenberg of Idaho.
These men were residents of Colo
RADIO at the time of the murder,
which was committed in Idaho,
but were charged with having
guilty knowledge of it. Though
all three were in business at Den
yer and all day long openly at their
vocations, they yer not arrested
until late at night ana hurried out
of the State on a special train, be-
ing denied communication with
lawyers or friends. AS soon as
they could, they applied to the
courts of Idaho for release under
writ of habeas corpus, but relief
was denied them, and the U. S.
Supreme Court sustains the lower
courts. So henceforth it will not
be "official lawlessness' to yank
a man out of his bed at the mid
night hour, in secresy, deny him
communication with friends, and
land him in another State whose
Jurisdiction he has never known.
Let no man hereafter waste his
sympathies upon the victims of
the infamous imperial lcttres de
cachet, under which men were
secretly taken from their homes
and lodged in prison for years
without trial, and of whose fate
their nearest and dearest ever re-
manned in ignorance.

Splitting Granite With Air.

The expansive force Of compressed
air is employed in very interesting
way by a North Caroline granite COM
pany, says the Youths Companion. On
a s!oping hillside, composed of granite
which shows no bed planes, but splits
readily in any direction when started,
a three-inch bore is sunk about eight
feet deep, and The bottom is enlarged
by exploding half a stick of dynamite.
small charge Of powder is fred in
this hole, which starts a horizontal
crack or cleavage. charges increasir"
in size are exploded until the cleavage
has extended over q radius of IS or 100
feet. Then pipe is cemented into
the bore, and air is forced in, under a
pressure Of from so 20 100 pounds.
The expansion of the air extends the
cleavage until it comes out at the
surface on the slope IF the hill. A
horizontal sheet of granite several
acres in extent may thus be separated.

How Anarchists Were Fooled.

The anarchist plot to assassinate
King Victor of Italy by placing bombs
on the railway line at Ancona was
frustrated in a remarkable manner.
One day last week, says Reynolds
Newspaper, a we'll known English
mining engineer who has had several
engagements in Spain, was riding on
a motor omnibus down Tottenham
court read.
Two foreigners assembled and in
dulged in heated conversation in the
Catalan dialect of Spanish, dialect
the English engineer spoke perfectly,
owing to his lc1g residence in Gaia
lonia. He overheard the whole details
of a plot to blow up the king of Italy
train near Ancona. Realizing the
gravity Of the situation, he alighted
and took a cab TO Scotland Yard,
where he told his story.
At first the officials were inclined to
.ough, but his gravity and credentials
at length convinced them that there
might be something in his statement.
Eventually the Italian police were tel
egraphed to, the bombs were discov-
ered and the preparations OF the ter
rible outrage prevented.

From Pioneer Press Washington
Washington, Dec. 30.-Although the
final results of the crop of 1906 in
Russia will not be determined for some
time, enough is known t. make it
the Russian peasant is facing one of
the worst famines Russia IN known
during the last twenty years
According to the preliminary report
of the central statistical committee,
the entire crop of winter wheat equals
3S,O00,OOO bushels, and of spring
wheat 299,00O,OOO. The rye crop is
663,oo0,oOO bushels. This makes the
of the previous years crop and more
than 100000 bushels short of the
crop Of 1904. The wheat crop of 1905
is the smallest Russia has had since
1901.
Interests the Farmer.
Discussing the Russian grain short
age, the Official Crop Reporter Of the
department of agriculture for Deem
Der says in part:
The interest Of the American
an altruistic one, for it's effects upon
the International grain market will be
important. Already the unusual situa-
ton is met with that Kronstadt, from
which port many millions of bushels
of rye have been shipped in previous
years, has recorded during this autumn
considerable imports of rye from Ger
many and Denmark. But it is upon
the wheat market that the influences
will be most felt, as more than 30
per cent of the net wheat crop of Rus
STA goes to supply the international
market.
Durum Wheat.
During recent years the production
of durum wheat in the United States
has rapidly increased, having reached
now an estimated total of $4,000, 600
bushels, of which the domestic market
may not absorb more than 10000, 900
bushels, and the remainder is avail
able for European markets, primarily
those of the Mediterranean ports, where
the demand for durum wheat is strong
est. 1t was in these that Russia knew
almost no competitors.
The present shortage strikes with
greatest severity Just those regions
where durum wheat, which is a spring
wheat in Russia, is raised. Whatever
spring wheat has been gathered is
recognized to be of a very inferior
quality. both as to weight and appear
arcc. The time seems propitious for
considerable extension of exports Of
durum wheat from this country to
Europeon markets, mainly to Southern
Fr"nce and Italy"
