The Bell Telephone company at Butte,
Mont. has settled the strike of the
linemen and operators which started
fifteen months ago by conceding near
ly every point in dispute, even having
dismissed some of the injunction suits

Of the Association of Duck Manufac-

was decided to close the nineteen fac

the failure to sell at profit.
To Make Black Print Paper.
The Wisconsin makers of print paper
propose to furnish newspapers with
black paper On which matter will be
printed in white letters. They say

made from old newspapers and almost
any fibrous stock. An effort will be
made to get newspapers to adopt the
black concertedly.

Professor Bawden Won't Resign.

President Dabney of the University
of Cincinnati has asked for the resig-
nation of Professor II. II. Bawden Of
the department of philosophy because
of the private views held by the latter
on the question Of marriage. 1t was
said that the request was inspired by
the disclosures made by Mrs. Bawden
concerning the effect of her husband S
peculiar views on their home life.
Professor Bawden promptly announced
that he would not resign and would
contest the effort to remove him, SUBJ
hitting the justice of his case to the
American people. Mrs. Bawden says
that the professors views have changed
since she married him twelve years
ago. They now live apart and have
no children to complicate the matter.
There is no charge of personal i'm
morality, but merely Of radical views
He holds that comradeship should be
the only tie between man and wife on
the spiritual plane and that where this
does not exist separation should be
made as simple as possible. The only
limit he would place on sexual promis-
Guilty would be- this ethical ideal Of
comradeship and the restrictions of
stirpiculture on the physical side. He
insists that comradeship rather than
love is the essential. He agrees with
Plato that the state should substitute
motherhood and that the individual
and not the family is the proper unit
Of political and social organization.
Against Competitive Athletics.
President Swain of Swarthmore col
lege has announced that the board of
managers will be asked by the faculty
to authorize the abandonment of inter-
collegiate athletic contests for ut least
one year and that the football and
basket ball games scheduled for next
year be Cancelled. But contests in the
milder form. such as tennis and la
crosse, may be continued. The deci-
sion is based on complaints Of men,
bers of the faculty and of the alumni
that '"the desire to win has come to
overshadow the legitimate purpose of
athletics to such an extent as to form
a serious menace to the primary pur
pose OF college life" The athletic adj
visory committee is willing that the ex-
pertinent be made. but believes that it
will not be found to be in the best in
terests Of Swarthmore.

wise agitation, he insisted that "the
governmental and business administra-
tons is more dangerous than the dem
agogic appeals of professional agitators
to class hatred" Because the nation
had "pilloried the real malefactors" he
warned against any one selling the
number of our business men are male

Some fricDds of the administration
voiced the opinion that the work of
the Prosperity league is really to pave
the way for the coming advance in
railroad rates. A circular issued by
the league says that prosperity de-
clined with the railroad adversely and
that it could return only by renewal
of good business for. the railroads.
Socialists Name Debs Again.
The outcome of the national conven-
ton of the Socialist party, which met
at Chicago during the week, was the
nomination of Eugene V. Debs to head
their presidential ticket, this being the
third time he has been the Socialist
candidate for president. Prior to the
balloting w. d. Haywood had with
drawn his name as a candidate for the
nomination. Benjamin Hanford Of
New York was named for vice presi-
dent.

The Ameer Proves Loyalty.

AS an evidence of his f-iendliness to-
ward Great Britain the ruler of AZ
ghanistan has prohibited the priests
from preaching holy war upon PEN
atty of having their tongues pulled
out. He has also ordered that all At
ghans who join the rebellious border
tribes shall have their feet cut off.
The British general, Willcocks, in COM
nand of the forces in northwest India
had reached close quarters with the
Mohmand tribesmen. The brother of the
ameer who is trying to usurp the
throne is avowedly anti-British. The
Mohmands. who are the chief cause of
the trouble. are great tribe half in
Afghanistan and half in British juris-
diction. British authorities can hardly
ask the amecr to control his half when
the British are totally unable to con-
troll those on their side of the border.
Churchill Wins In Dundee.
Winston Churchill president of the
British board of trade in the new cab
met. who recently was defeated in
northwest Manchester, has obtained a
decisive victory in the Dundee constit-
uency by plurality of 300, although
his vote was 2,197 less than the Liber
al total two years ago. The Laborite
candidate came out third in the race.
Britain to Pension the Aged.
The distinctive feature of the annual
budget presented to the British house
of commons by Premier Asquith is
the provision for allowances from the
national treasury of $1.25 a week TO
persons over seventy years old and
possessing incomes under $3.50 year.
This would not go to those dependent
classes already under the public care.
Asquith estimates that on this plan
the pensioners will not exceed 100000
and that the total cost will not exceed
$30000,000 Stringent conditions would
be imposed for forfeiture and suspen-
sion, and the premier added that If
this scheme was socialism 1t was So
cialism of kind that both parties ac-
copied. 1t will not go into effect until
Jan. / next.
Another feature of the budget is the
reduction of the duty on sugar from 81
to A cents hundred.
The national debt had been further
reduced by $90,0O0,00O, and the new
income tax scheme had brought in
more than had been estimated. In the
last three years they had paid off over
5000, 100000 of the national debt, SO
that 1t was now about where 1t was
before the Boer war.

The stampede to Taft.

The Stampede to Taft.
1t is openly admitted that practically
all of the Republican leaders who at
first tried to organize a movement
against the candidacy of Secretary
Taft have now Joined in the Taft pro-
cession. Various motives are given, but
the fact is no longer questioned. Taft's
bureau started the week claiming
enough delegates to win on the first
ballot and 12S delegates yet to be
elected. 1t was said that 456 had been
pledged, but that many in the unin-
structed delegations are known to be
for Taft This virtual stampede Is ac-
companied with some renewal of the
third term talk, since Utah and Texas
voiced the demand for Roosevelt first.
This appears to give color to the state
ment widely circulated that the con-
servatives have accepted Taft in order
to prevent the possibility of conven-
ton stampede for the president.

A committee of the new Prosperity
league recently started at st. Louis by
prominent business men called on the
president May IL and asked his aid in
furthering their plans. In a formal
statement they say that all the signs
for revival of prosperity are good if
only experimental legislation may be
halted. They point to the fact that
there Is promise Of bountiful harvests,
that the unemployed are eager for
work and that the relations of capital
and labor are not strained, while mon
ey is plentiful and ready for invest
ment. They asserted that business
had already suffered too much from
demagogic agitation and that they pro-
pose to proclaim, as the president has
proclaimed, that the bulk Of business
men are honorable and upright. They
deprecate the arraying Of class against
class.

IN THE SENATE.
Dilatory Tactics Prevent Transaction
of About All Business.

Washington. May 25.-An effort to kill
time by dilatory tactics without making
progress on any legislation except that
involved in conference reports was the
chief occupation of the Senate today I'M
der the leadership of Mr.. Aldrich. The
attempt was so successful that the net
result Of the days session was the adop-
ton of the conference report On the sun
dry civil appropriation bill.
Throughout the day Mr. Beveridge was
busy in an effort to get vote on bill
compensating government employees for
injuries received in their line of duty,
but after the debate had progressed far
enough to develop various objections to
the language of the bill. Mr.. Hale arose
to say he had information from the
House that no action could be expected
there today on the conference report on
the public buildings bill and that until
that measure was disposed of the de-
ficiency appropriation bill could not be
perfected After that he moved an adj
iournment.
Mr. Beveridge resorted to some tactics
to keep the Senate in session to consider
his bill. but Mr. Hale, amid laughter, re-
marked that "There are some things the
Senate can do without the senator from
Indiana" On his insisting upon a vote
on his motion the Senate adjourned
