Prof. BILLY" Sumner Of Yale-ofR.
cially known as Prof William c. Sum.
ner-who has attracted attention by
ms wise and pertinent comments upon
the recent financial hurricane and IT'S
cause, has often been called by Yale
men the best teacher they had i'm col.
lege. Prof. Sumner is now teaching
sociology, but he used to teach eco.
Monies, and, according to a writer in
Harper's Weekly, he achieved the i'm.
preSsive feat of making that subject
entertaining. Sumner was a classmate
OF William c. Whitney, who was very
FOND OF the professor and who used to
ike to play with him in New Haven.
Sumner never got as rich as Whitney.
he never seemed to care to. He
amused his mind in another way. and
ne once enormously amused Whitney
by telling his old friend that the Yale
corporation had greatly increased his
salary.
That's splendid" said Whitney.
How much more do they give you.

And he always wondered why Whit.

PROGRESSIVE OKLAHOMA.

committee. Oklahoma was the first
state in the Union to adopt the
method of guaranteeing dopositors
In banks by requiring all state banks
to provide a fund for the purpose OF
paying depositors In full at once i'm
case a bank finds it necessary to go
into liquidation. 1t gives national
banks the same privilege by com
plying with the state law. This
makes a run upon banks out of the
question, because every deposition is
assured of getting his money at
once in case of failure.
Oklahoma is up to date in anotb-
er important Democratic principle.
II is also the first state in the Union
TO adopt the initiative and referen-
dunn idea to any extent. II is trua
that this obtains in some OF the
western states upon local matters.

BOB BuRoErrE,s BEAR STORY.

Mrs. N. F. Johnston Discuss
eS Art Before General
Club Federation.
BEING HELD IN BOSTON.
INDIANA CLUB WoMENLARE PAR
TICULARLY ACTIVE AT THE
CONFERENCE AND ARE AN ACT
I'VE FORCE IN DELIBERATIONS.

Boston, Miss, June 24-Mrs. l. New.
ton Taylor was unanimously elected to
represent the Indiana women on the
nomination committee for the forth
coming election of officers of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's clubs now
holding its convention here. While it
is the sentiment of the delegates from
Indiana that Mrs. o. P. Kinsey of Val
paraiso should be a candidate Mrs.
Taylor does not think her election can
be accomplished on account of the
strong sentiment for the other candi-
dates already in the field. 1t was
practically decided to indorse Mrs.
Philip N Moore of ST. Louis, who has
done great deal for the Indiana Or
ganization and is we'll known to the
delegates.
However. it was decided that every
delegate from Indiana will work to re-
tain Mrs. Kinsey on the board of direc-
tors. This stand they will maintain
to the end and it is said Ohio and Mis-
souri, will aid them.
The Indiana women are also to make
a fight to place Mrs. w. S. Major of
Shelbyville on the national civic COM
mittee and also booking Mrs. Lock
wood of Indianapolis for the national
child labor committee, for which they
claim she is more eminently fitted
than any other aspirant. A FIT.
Wayne woman, Mrs o. M. Guldlin, is
being talked of for the household eco
nomics board. The Indiana headquar-
tiers is the busiest place in Boston. The
delegates are active day and evening,
and are missing none of the social
events, nor are they overlooking any
of the many meetings and conferences.
An important paper is to be read today
at the art conference by Mrs. M. F.
Johnston of Richmond, Ind, on Dem
ocratic Art Movement"

IF COMPLAINTS ARE MADE AS TO

Indianapolis, Ind. June 24.-The In

for the express companies in affirm

refusing to mandate the United
States, Adams and American Express
companies on the application of the
Indiana Railroad Commission to de-
liver express packages free of charge
to any point within the corporate linn
its of all cities having a population
of $500 or more.
The opinion was written by Judge
Gillett. The court says that the alter
native writ was so framed as to cover
all express packages, whether coming
from within the state or from with
out the state and holds that under the
interstate commerce laws the state of
ficers and state courts have no juris-
diction over express shipments that
come into one state from another
state.
The supreme court says that if the
conduct of the express companies in
delivering packages is Objectionable a
complaint should be made to the In
terstate Commerce commission. Mem
bers of the commission are unable to
say as yet whether this will be done.

Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton at Niagara Falls was the speech
of President George F. Dieterle, of
Cincinnati who threw down the gaunt-
let to the Anti-Saloon League. Mr..

before the delegates; he gave recogni-

greatest force which is opposing the

which has done more to forward leg

This morning the Committee on
Resolutions got together and began
the draft of principles which will be
the keynote of the convention. The
resolutions will represent the first
concrete action taken by the associa
ton as a unit in the fight against
prohibition. The general sentiment
| of the convention is that it is better
first to close the trade of immoral re
sorts by refusing to sell them liquor
and having done that, to present the
liquor industry to the people generally
as a reputable institution quite as re
spectacle as other trades and quite az
worthy of support as any other large
