THE HUGHES METHOD.

Governor Hughes, of New York,
has appointed commission to in.
quire into the facts relating TO spec
ulation in securities and commodities
in New York, with view Of ascer-
tanning the manner in which ilegiti-
mate transactions may be prevented
and legitimate business safeguarded.
The commission, whose first business
is to collate the facts, is asked to
report recommendation concerning
what changes, il any, are advisable
in the laws of the state bearing upon
speculation, or relating to the pro
lection Of investors, or with regard
to the instrumentalities and organic
atoms used in dealings in securities
and commodities which are the sub
iect of speculation.
The commission OF nine appointed
by Governor Hughes is most admir-
able in membership. 1t includes an
editor who is recognized financial
authority, former justice of the
state supreme court, professor OF
political economy, merchant who
gave Brooklyn business admins
tration as mayor, two lawyers OF
high standing aud a former presi-
dent Of the New York Stock Ex-
change. These gentlemen serve
without compensation and must even
pay their own expenses.
The manner in which Governor
Hughes goes about reforming"
the exchanges, is illustrative Of what
may be denominated the Albany
method under his administration.
Governor Hughes secures leoisla.
ton. That cannot be denied. His
legislation, moreover, is of the ade.
quate, the comprehensive, the we'll.
expressed sort thet accomplishes its
full purpose Therefore the title Of
"reformer" is legitimately his.
But he reforms scientifically that
is his peculiar virtue. In response
to great public cutlery against the
buses of speculation on the
exchanges, he does not intensity the
clamor by denouncing the exchanges
without reserve, by denying that
they perform an indispensable eco
nomic function in society, by dema.

gogically demanding legislation
before he knows what measures of
Legislation to recommend.
No, he wants first the facts. He
appoints commission Of able men
to get the facts. He awaits the
report of the commission before he
concludes what reforms" il any,
are advisable.
Exchanges for securities and com.
modities serve vital purpose OF our
economic organization. Legislation,
conceived in spirit that does not
acknowledge that truth, fails newt
ably, as the restrictive legislation OF
the last few years in Germany has
miserably done.
1t is not conceivable that the last
word in legislation relating to ex.
changes has been said. But, in
order to arrive at that last word, the
scientific method of collation. of facts
and deductions drawn from those
facts, mist be followed.
Therefore it is that the career OF
Governor Hughes in our politics is a
sign of such good omen for the
republic Minneapolis Journal.

be expected Of them in the Detterment
Of the life and happiness of the people

the sentiment and belief Of this assem-.
bly, Of school officers OF Day county
that both greater pleasure and greater
profit will result from closer relation
OF school-life 10 the social and CONNER
cisl Interests of the community; that
the introduction Of agriculture, in
some form, into the school work viii
do much to awaken and stimulate a
greater interest in rural life and TO
the growing minds Of our youth the
real beauties OF and pleasures in the
natural forces which surround them
that better ventilated better lighted and
better equipped school buildings will
greatly INCREASE the efficiency Of orr
rural schools.
And. be u farther resolved: that our
Representatives in Congress be urged
to further the cause Of Agricultural
Education by supporting any reasonable
measure having for its ultimate aim the
establishment Of County Agricultural
Schools.

clearly his best effort. He made
no grand stand announcements but
rather advised the safe and sound

recommendation as regards govern

North American Co. Seeking to
Get Control of the C. & M.
Electric Road
TO MERGE GREAT INTERESTS
Beggs Insists That He Will use the
Right of Way of the G.. and M.
E. in MilWaukee-F creed
Sale is Possible

A report which purports to come from
reliable sources states that the North
American Company of New York which
controls the street railway companies
in Milwaukee and st. Louis as well as
the interurban road between Kenosha
and Milwaukee, is making an effort to
buy outright the lines of the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric Railway Com
pany now in the hands of receivers and
it is SAID that the receivers are closely
considering the deal that has been sug-
gested. In case Of a refusal on the
part of the receivers to accept the offer
it is possible that a forced sale may
turn the property over to the great
eastern syndicate. The report states
that the big eastern syndicate is also
seeking to secure control of the lines
of the Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany and it is understood that if the
Chicago and Milwaukee is disposed of
to this company, A. G. Frost would not
be adverse to selling the Kenosha lines
as well if he gets the price demanded
For some days there have been rumors
about the city that the Kenosha lines
were to be sold and Mr.. Frost was in
Kenosha on Saturday afternoon looking
after the business Of the company. He
did not meet any of the city officials and
spent but short time in conference
with his superintendent. The work Of ex
tending the lines on Grand avenue will
be started this week and it is under
stood that there is an abundance of
money for the completion of these lines.
John [. Beggs the western representa-
tive of the North America Company
has announced in Milwaukee that the
cars of his system will run over a por.
ton OF the Frost lines and the managers
for Frost declare that no traffic arrange
ments have been made to this effect.
1t is claimed that if the North
America Company can secure the lines
Of the Chicago and Milwaukee that
the Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee line
which has been operated by the company
for nearly ten years will be used to take
care of local traffic. It would be an
easy matter to connect the two lines and
it is certain that this was the origina.
plan when the roads were constructed
The North America Company already
has interests in Kenosha and it is not
at all improbable that it is seeking
further interests.
The local managers of the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company declare that
they know nothing of any deal which
included the Kenosha line and they pro
fess ignorance of the plans of the east
ern syndicate to secure control of the
through line.

Wealthy Man Of the County Puts
a Bullet Into His Brain at
Brighton To-Day
WIFE MAKES CHASTITY FIND
Man Had Recently Traded Property
in Racine for Farm in This Coun-
ty and Thought He Had Got
the Worst of the Deal
(From Monday s Daily

Sitting in the bed room of his home
in the town Of Brighton just over the
north line Of the town of Bristol
James Rogan, aged At years, formerly
a wealthy resident of the City Of Ra-
cine, shot himself through the head
with thirty-two calibre revolver with
suicidal intent The man is still alive
but his condition is precarious and it
is Jared that he VIII not survive.
Rogan had been a resident Of this
county but a few weeks. He formerly
lived at 1919 North st. Claire street
in Racine and had sold his property
in Racine in order to purchase the
farm on which he attempted to take his
life this morning. He had been disap-
pointed in the farm and it is thought
that worrying over the deal caused him
to seek self destruction this morning.
Rogan had been about the house for
an hour before he shot himself this
morning and had talked with his wife
and she had not noticed that he was
worrying more than usually in regard
to the farms. He walked out to the
barn and did some chores and returned
to the house just after seven o'clock.
| Without word to any one ne walked
into the bedroom and sitting down in
a rocking chair he pulled his revolver
from his pocket am shot himself in
the head. The bullet crashed through
the skull just above the right ear tear
ing portion of the skull away. The
wife hearing the shot rushed into the
room and found Rogan in a pool of
blood on the floor. He was unconscious
| AS soon as possible she called DIR. F.
| &. Stevens OIL Bristol and he hurried
to the assistance of the wounded man
The bullet did not pass directly through
| the brain and Rogan was conscio~s
when DR.. Stevens arrived and told him
the entire story of his troubles and
his determination to end his life. The
condition of the man made it impossi-
bile for the doctor to probe for the
bullet, but he stated after the examina-
ton that he believed that it was locat.
ed in the skull on the left side of the
head. Rogan talked calmly in regard
to his attempted suicide and made no
effort to give any false idea of his
intentions. He declared that he had
no desire to live longer and expressed
the hope that his wound would result
fatally.
Rogan has wife and five children
who were with him on the farm at the
| time of the shooting. He had lived
in Racine nearly all his life and by
hard work had managed to accumulate
considerable money. He had purchas-
ed the farm with the idea of spend
ing his declining years there and claims
that he paid entirely too much for it.
and that it was impossible for MIN to
support his family with it's return.
