Making Democratic Votes.

When the majority of the ways and
means committee assumes that the
people of America are not yet fully
alive to the iniquities of robber trusts
they are laying up retributive wrath
against the political party that claims
their allegiance.
If the ways and means members
imagine that the people Of America
will bow to the dictatorship of a single
congressional committee, in the face
of an economic crisis, it merely shows
how fatuous and purblind trust ser
wants can become. Their masters, the
trusts, with all their wealth, will be
unable to stem the rising tide of revolt
against tariff ROBBERY.
The trouble with the ways and means
committee is that it has become en-
tirely aloof from the people. It's rul-
ings in favor of the trusts are as

1.-THE TIMBER THIEF" A GOOD PLAY
Sandusky Daily Register Says it is
in a Class with 1.-THE Man
IF the Hour

"The Timber Thief, = play by Geo.
W. Ward of Alexandria, which is to
be presented at the Turner Theatre on
May oath, is meeting with much sue
cess in the east. Mr.. Ward, who was
former student in the University of
Minnesota, is a capable ACTOR and
takes a prominent part in the play,
but the leading role is assumed by the
old Shakespearian fayorite, William
Owen. The Daily Register of Sandus-
ky. Ohio, puts the play in a class with
'The Lion and the Mouse and ''The
Man of the Hour and observes:
s'That Mr.. Owen can play other than
Shakespeare parts was clearly demon
strated by his portrayal of Abel Min
ton, the grating politician who runs
for governor of the state of Minneso-
ia, but is defeated by Johnson through
the manipulations of a clever young
newspaper free-lance editor. Mr..
Ovens work was beyond adverse cri-
ticism and he is supported by thor
oughly capable company Mr.. Ward
as the young editor, j. w. McCon-
nell, formerly with Mr.. Owen when he
played Shakesperean roles, as Sena-
tor Paine, and Margaret Morrison. as
Gladys, the daughter Of Minton, han
died their parts exceedingly we'll and
deserve much credit"
The play drew its inspiration from
the Minnesota campaign in which
Governor Johnson first came into
prominence. but Mr.. Ward declares
that no real characters are given.
Abel Minton, he says is pure fiction,
and as for Coy. johnson he does not
appear in the play-he is only talked
about.

Gov. Johnson's Honely
Story Of the Simple Life.

Governor Johnson in his lecture at
Detroit Wednesday evening paid a
beautiful tribute to old age and the
simple life. In discoursing on the
lust for money and the danger with
which it is fraught, he said:
'.When | think of wealth and the
curses that go with it there always
comes to my mind the picture of Mr..
and Mrs. Gibbs of Sarnia.
II met them during tour of Canada
three years ago with a party of Min
nesota editors. Today have forgot
ten the great men [ met, the statesmen
who strove to make our stay in Cana
da an enjoyable one, but always to
my mind comes the memory of Mr..
and Mrs. Gibbs.
81 had never seen a peach orchard,
and when we reached Sarnia and were
told that the fruit grew in abundance
about the town [ expressed a desire
to see an orchard. A friend drove us
TO the Gibbs homestead, a short dis
lance from town.
'sThe old gentleman welcomed us at
the gate, was told the request of Mrs.
Johnson and myself, and in his simple
way expressed his qualification at our
coming. We left the carriage and
walked around the house. But he
would not start for the orchard until
mother was there She was as sweet
~ simple as her husband, and like
children we all wandered through that
orchard, the boughs laden with the
luscious fruit. We Toasted until it
seemed I should never wish to eat
again, but when we returned to the
house Mrs. Gibbs invited US to stay
to tea Now, we didn't want any tea;
I hardly believed [ could drink a
drop; but knew that if we refused
they would be heart broken. So we
stayed and further enjoyed their hos
pitality.
CATER our tour through Canada
during which prime ministers and the
highest statesmen of the government
did us honor, we returned to Sarnia
to embark for Duluth.
81 was hurrying up the gang-plank,
a suit case in either hand, when an
old gentleman said: Goodbye, sir.
Goodbye [ said, without turning.
But when [ reached the deck, Mrs.
Johnson called me and said: There
are Mr.. and Mrs. Gibbs down there
on the dock Then | remembered who
it was that had spoken to me and I
hurried down to shake their hands.
'sToday it is the picture of the
sweet faced old couple, happy in their
beautiful home, the recipients of Gods
bounteous gifts, that fingers in my
mind. can see them hand and hand
in their peach orchard, passing the
twilight Of their lives, when the heroes
and master men of their land are to
me but meaningless names.

Owing to the illness of the artists,
Chris. Heller and Anton Gag, the part
nership heretofore existing between
them has been dissolved. Mr.. Heller,
as soon as he is able to travel, which
will be in three or four weeks, will go
to Youngstown, Ohio, to live with his
brother, and Mr.. Gag. while retaining
his residence in New Ulm, will retire
from active work entirely. The loss
to the community Of these two excel
lent workmen cannot be measured in
dollars and cents. They are artists,
both OF them, whose abilities entitle
them to win fame in broader fields
than that in which they chose to exert
themselves.

Commended to Sociologists.

The United States. Steel corporation
has become one Of the big facts OF the
present generation ~ sociological as
we'll as economic. This is emphasized
by it's recent report. Here is cor
poration which last year employed
more than 100000 men, which paid
$3.50, 900, 900 in salaries and wages and
which has more than 100, 600 stock
holders, many Of them employees. The
employees and stockholders are pretty
we'll scattered. But it is conceivable
that they might be unified for political
action under the spur Of self-interest.
Those 100000 employees, those 100000
stockholders would constitute power
full political force.
The future course Of this corpora
ton will be of great significance.
Presumably it is now Interested IN
maintaining tariff schedules. Ii 1t
should extend its political activities
and attempt to use the ramifcations
of it's influences to control the govern
ment, it would undoubtedly give a
great impetus to the general policy OF
government ownership. On the other
hand, should it be conducted on a
business basis with no disposition OF
insiders to exploit the stockholders or
to dominate the political parties, it
would constitute a strong conserVa-
tive force on public sentiment.
The case of the United States Steel
corporation is commended to the at
tention of classes in sociology. They
will find it a useful object of study.

reflect in the light from their polished

affect the ordinary use OF the mirror

The only remaining mystery has
been as 10 how these delicate differ
