III NDER the will Of the late Hon. William +.
Villas, of Wisconsin. who was Post
master-General and later Secretary of the Inter
ior under the Cleveland administration his large
estate will ultimately go to the University Of
Wisconsin, worthy institution of that State
The bequest is remarkable in that it is the first
large amount that has been bequeathed to a State
institution. The charitably disposed heretofore
have left parts of their wealth to private nstitu-
tions, presumably going the principle that
state institutions will never be lacking proper
financial support. And then there is a belief that
if money for the support of state institutions
comes from private means the legislators are
likely to cut down their appropriation for the aid
of those institutions. However there is no rea-
son why state university should not receive aid
from those who believe that they should return
to the state some of the wealth they have accu-
muated under the state.
By the provisions of the Villas will the endow-
nlent fund will eventually accumulate thirty mil
lions Of dollars, but it will probably require more
than century before this sum is reached. The
estate is nominally valued at less than million
with debt Of seventy thousand against it.
The actual value, however, of the estate at
present is believed to be about three millions. The
heirs named in the will have only life interest,
and at their death the university will come into
possession of the entire amount BY the condi-
tions of the will only half the income can be used
for current expenses, and the remainder is to be
reinvested annually until the endowment reaches
S2o,ooo,ooo, after which one-fourth of the total
income must be continually reinvested until the
Ssoooo,ooo fund is reached
There are so many unknown quantities in con-
nection with the WILL for it to be accurately
stated when the ultimate conditions will be full
hiied. But eventually the University OF Wiscon-

DEMAND TO HEAR TAFT.

nj ATURALLY enough, as the signs point to
more stirring campaign in the West,
Judge Taft is desirous of taking part in the fray.
The reports that the managers of the national
campaign have about decided to arrange a speak
ing tour for the candidate will be received with
satisfaction by those who are concerned in the
election of the ticket.
Wherever Taft has spoken he has made most
favorable impression. The more the people hear
of him and see him the better they will like him.
They will find him to be man who is entitled
to the thorough confidence of the county, a man
who is to be entrusted with guiding the ship of
state. He need not fear comparison with Bryan.
AS Governor Hughes has we'll pointed out, on
the one hand is a candidate well equipped and
tested in craftsmanship and executive ability, and
on the other hand a a candidate whose chief
claim to popularity is from the fact that he has
never been given an opportunity to show how he
could put his ideas into effect
The national committee is likely to be burden
ed with requests to hear Taft Already applica-
tons for him are pouring in upon the committee
Taft is wanted all through the West. Out there
the people have the notion that candidate ask
ing for the suffrages of the people should show
himself so that the voters can determine for
whom they are casting their ballots Wherever
Taft speaks he will make votes for the ticket

LABOR DAY PARADEs.

II THROUGHOUT the country yesterday
Labor Day" was celebrated in the larger
cities with all kinds of demonstrations. In Chr
cago there was a large turn out of union work
nemen and the address of the occasion was de-
vered by Mr. Bryan.
1t must have Jared the supporters of Mr.
BRYAN when one of the men at the head OF the
procession shouted "I1urrah for Debs There
was not much cheering of Debs, to be sure but
the one discordant note discloses that even or
ganized labor in Chicago is not for Bryan, despite
the efforts of Mr. Gompers and other leaders to
line IN these workers for the Democratic ticket
In the East the sentiment of the organized
workinemen is not unanimous for Bryan by
long shot And during the Republican rally at
Youngstown. Ohio. when Governor Hughes
spoke. thousands OF the workers were in the Re
publican parade.
1t is highly probable also that Debs will poll
a large vote in the ranks of union labor The So
cialists for years have been trying TO get control
OF the National Federation of Labor They have
fought Gompers at every turn and they are pro-
nouncedly opposed TO the attempt of Mr. Comp
ers TO swing in the votes of union men for the
Democratic ticket.
We fancy that Mr. Bryan will be deceived II he
imagnes that all the men who paraded on Labor
Day in Chicago will support him for president at
the polls.
1t is interesting in connection with Labor Day
TO notice the advice that was given to the work
ing people on that occasion. They were all
warned to assert their independence and to be-
ware of the "demagogue.' This is the old ia
mliar cry but the demagogue in these times
means the man whose ideas are not your ideas.
Labor Day is significant from the fact that it
calls attention to the hosts Of labor and to the
changed conditions under which labor works
With capital on the one hand fully organized, as
illustrated in the various associations of manu-
facturers. it logically followed that labor should
organize. and while the worllingman is spoken Of
as free and independent. his freedom and indie
pcnience IS largely what comes to him through
organization

The Central Labor Union will have
its regular meeting on Saturday night
instead Of September Is. the date for

because William ]. Bryan originally

have the tiniest of silver watches set in the side. For intending tourists nothing could be handsomer than the tourists coats of green and blue shad- ow plaids, in durable tweeds. The coats are very long and lined with green silk.
 The jabot effect is seen more and more. Many waists are accompanied by jabots of the same or of harmonizing material. A waist of yellow net, with green silk dots, has jabot of the net edged with green silk buttonholing. The price is s5.
 Occasionally tho surplice effect is seen, as in waist of pale blue net over guimpe of white embroidered net. A very narrow necktie of blue velvet rib bon is worn at the base of tho high collar.
 Elaborate ruching for the neck, con- sisting of wide, straight piece of lace above and below, is sold now by the yard, or it comes in lengths just right for the neck, with Q velvet bow as finish.
 Some new tan boots for tramping, very thick soled, and very high, have a narrow strap buckling around the top. These boots are laced. Not So stout, but very pretty, are gray suede boots with pearl buttons.
 The curious combination of fur and flowers on one and the same hat is seen now and again. One such creation is wide gray felt, with sable boa wound around it, and red roses placed wherever they will go. But some of the artificial flowers made today are so per feet that hat needs no other trim ming. One hat, designed by an artist, is very broad and flat, and has nothing on it but five enormous, deep-hearted red roses, subtly arranged. Some new stockings of dull green silk have design in yellow embroidered up the sides, instead of over the instep and up the front
 A waist of white linen has smocked yoke, made noticeable by the fact the shocking is done with embroidery silk of vivid red. There are cuffs and col. lar of red embroidery.
