TO ENTER LECTURE FIELD.
Big Money Tempts Governor johnson
to Forsake Political Game

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. l7.-Min-
nesota democrats want John A. John
son to run for a third term as COVER
nor, but they have a hard argument
to meet. The offer is open by which
Governor Johnson may go from the
governors office direct into the ma
tional lecture field, on a contract as
surfing him an income of $4,000 to
$4,000 year. His salary as governor
is $500 with demands that make it
hardly better than a bare living sal
airy.
VIII the lure of the lyceum gold pre-
vail, or the siren voices of friends, now
holding office by the governors grace
and relying on him alone for the ex-
tension of their halcyon days?
The siren calls are persuasive, but
the governor is obdurate. At this time
1t is believed, he fully intends to re-
fuse denomination and run for no Of
nee, but follow the platform road to
wealth like Bryan, La Toilette, Cum
minis and other statesman orators. He
is soft-hearted and hates to disappoint
his friends, but he feels that having
given democracy four years at the pub
lie crib he has about done his duty,
and has a right to consult his personal
welfare.
Lecture bureaus have been angling
for Johnson for long time. Had he
been willing TO leave his office for
few weeks at time he could have
made more money in the last year by
lecturing than his salary as governor
amounts to.

Lamro, in Trip County.


Lamro, S. D., Feb. 17.-Special to
The News; A special representative
of the government passed through
Lamro today, coming direct from the
Rosebud agency. He announced that
the opening would be in September
of this year and that the exact date

The selection or allottments in Trip
county has ceased and the business
being rushed to announce the opening.
A large number of allotments have
been made in Trip county and many
applications for change of allotments
have been asked. The agent said he
did not think that any changes of al.

those cases that comply with the regu-

and where the allottee was deceived
as to the location when selected. Allot-

Feeling at Wayne.

Wayne, Neb,, Feb. 1S.-No decision
was rendered by Governor Sheldon in
the matter of the attempted removal
of the three Wayne councilmen in the
hearing before him yesterday. He re-
quested that briefs from both sides be
flied with him February 25.
The city council has ordered that
the Anti-Saloon league and Peter
Thompson, saloonman, the bone of
contention, to file briefs with them
relative to the cancellation OF Thomp-
sons license.
The trouble has caused much bitter
feeling and citizens in general do not
like the free advertising the town is

Steven Jones, a member of the group
of five Indians from the Santee reser-
walton, gave a thirty minute address
Saturday afternoon on the work of
civilization and christianization of the
American Indian Mr.. Jones is a
young man of considerable ability. He
was educated In the Springfield, Mass,
Young Mems Christian association
training school and has carried on a
remarkable work of evangelization
among his own people. He criticised
the work of the United States govern
ment in its work to educate the In.
dian. He said that too much of this
work had been done by force and that
that is not the proper treatment of
the Indian; he is too independent.
His idea, therefore was that the Indian
must be reached and educated through
the efforts OF religious organization
and he knew of no better such an or
ganizatlon than the Young Mems
Christian association.
1t was voted in the Saturday after
noon session to make the Nebraska
Young Mems Christian association a
member of the Western conference of
the Young Mems Christian associations
thus transferring its membership from
the Geneva conference. This will
mean that the delegates from the Ne
braska colleges and university will
next summer participate in the sum-
mer students convention at Cascade,
Colorado, instead of at Lake Geneva
The Nebraska colleges and UNIVERSE
ties sent a total of fifty men to last
summers conference but are this year
planning to send twice that number
to the western conference which will
be held during the second week of
June.
On motion made in Saturday af-
ternoon's session, a committee will be
appointed to investigate the proposal
of state encamptment on the Blue
river near Crete, at the invitation of
Nebraska state association but is
meeting with popular favor.
A unique feature of association
mems enterprise was their street
service" which followed the regular
session of Saturday afternoon. The
prime purpose of this service was to
let the people of Norfolk know that
there is a Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION convention in their city. The
association men may, or may not have
lost sight of the fact that this has been
pretty generally known by people in
Norfolk and vicinity, as has been at
tested by their interest, but they have
a way of wanting to be sure of a good
thing and their street service" was to
make sure of this fact.

Saturday Afternoon.


The address Saturday afternoon by
Arthur ]. Elliott, international stud
ent's secretary was a direct appeal
to the college man. He said that col
lege men are needed to carry on the
work of college secretaries; that the
college secretaries have a work that
no city secretary man, of no college
experience can appreciate, work
that can alone be handled by able col.
lege men. Men" he said "of conse-
Grafton; men of ability and men of
power, We want men who are will
ing to give their lives to the work of
saving their fellow men; not men who
are merely looking for a lob" and
all such men now in the college work
should be kicked out"
He cited instances of great good be-
ing accomplished among college men.

Basketball Game Tomorrow Night.

Tomorrow nights game of basket
ball between the Dallas College team
and the Portland Y. M. @. A. team
will probably be one of the hardest
games of the season. Both teams are
exceptionally strong this season, both
equally anxious to win the league
championship and the resulting
struggle is sure to be very severe.
The Dallas team is in excellent con-
dition for the game and the players
express the highest confidence in their
ability to win by creditable score
although their margin will no doubt
be closer than in the recent game with
McMinnville college.
