Roosevelt Quoted a Muck Raker.
When the June number Of Every
body's Magazine came out 1t was evil
dent that Lincoln Steffens was the
person whom President Roosevelt had
quoted in a recent message to congress
as having spoken of the type Of mil
lionaire whose ''face has grown hard
and cruel while his body has grown
soft, whose son is fool and his
daughter foreign princess" This pre-
else language is contained in an article
giving interviews with Roosevelt. Taft
and La Toilette on "What the Matter Is
In America and What to Do About It."
The editors admit that the president
had examined advance proofs Of this
remarkable paper from the pen Of one
of the guild he had once characterized
as muck rakers.
Steffens goes back over the career Of
the president to show how he had al
ways been striking at this and that
thing which seemed to him an evil,
but how he had been ever blind to the
root Of all these evils-namely, the
business system under which we live
resentative government He gives
Roosevelt credit with having located
the enemy and with having reused the
conscience and the hopes and fears of
the nation. Steffens speaks in the
highest praise Of Taft personally and
says he will try to carry out the
Roosevelt policies. but that he will try
to do 1t quietly" which is quite diff
ferent Taft believes in the law and
public opinion as capable Of regulating
the most powerful business. Taft be-
lieves in the courts and their ability to
adjust the coming clash Of capital and
labor. but Steffens says that the secre-
tary does not see how the various evils
are correlated by the power Of wealth.
La Toilette Steffens puts down as a
leader who tries to represent all the
people. He summed up the trouble of
our country in one "misrepre-
sentative government" Back of that
he sees that government represents spe-
cial interests and privileges. He pro-
poses to restore representative govern
ment. When 1t comes to a choice Of
government ownership by the trusts or
of the trusts he Ga Follette) would be

Viper Venom Supply Renewed.
To replenish the worlds almost ex-
hausted supply of the homeopathic
medicine based on the venom Of the
lancehead viper of Brazil, most deadly
of snake poisons, DR.. E. w. Runyon of
New York, with the assistance Of the
curator Of the Bronx zoo, has per-
formed the operation of extracting
about eighteen grains Of the venom
of lancehead recently imported from
its native haunts. This new supply is
said to be the first to be obtained since
DR.. Herring. German scientist, acct
dentally discovered the uses Of the
venom while in Brazil eighty years ago
and obtained the first supply from one
Of the snakes. In greatly reduced
form the substance is used in the
treatment of diphtheria, insanity and
several nervous diseases. The present
supply is expected to last fifty years.
The process Of extraction is fraught
with no little danger, as the snake had
to be held in the hands Of the oper-
ators while it's head was directed to-
ward a cup covered with gauze 80 that
when it struck the drops Of venom
would drop into the cup. Also the
glands were pressed, as In the process

University Deposes Bawden.

Professor Henry II. Bawden has now
been dismissed from the chair of phi
losophy in the University of Cincinnati
by the trustees, he having refused to
resign on the request Of President Dab
ney for the stated reason that the pro.
fessor held radical and subversive
views on the subject Of matrimony. A
statement issued by the trustees as.
serts that Bawden came to Cincinnati
under false pretenses, as he had been
dismissed from Vassar on the same
grounds, that "his manner Of life as
well as his teachings is destructive Of
the family, the foundation of human
society,"" and that he had carried out
his threat of making public his views
ito the scandal of the university and
the violation of public decency and
good morals" Replying to this mani
festo, Professor Bawden defies the
trustees to prove that he taught any
thing destructive to the family and
that his private views on marriage had
never been mentioned to his classes.
The substance of his views Is that free
comradeship and not sexual love forms
the true basis of spiritual and intellec-
tual association between men and wo-
men. Mrs. Bawden disapproves Of all
this, but does not charge that the pro-
fessor is unfaithful in any gross way.
