MR.. CAGES SIMPLICITY

II is asst nishpg indeed the attitude which Mr. Lyman
Gage Secretary the Treasury takes toward the
ports which first MIN about the Sugar Trust frauds He
consider seriously the idea that such eminent capitalists
gentlemen head the Sugar Trust could possibly
be guilty of frauds against and he thought
quite the proper thing lay what him the of
charges against them those in his sim
In this Mr. Gage a trusting nature that fitted
well the CT the magnates of the big trus As long
plcy assuming they entirely gutless and would

half BY their suordinaes says The Salt Lake Tribune
they could charges fraud their interest referred
to correction all well with their operation; and
it appears of trust in them them the idea
that they extensive frauds and
bareaced swndng of the government According to the
developments in Sugar New York the dsbur
ing agent the who bought the Government
employees bought them very cheap $500 to $500
apiece seems to have the standard price.
But surely sckenng thing confession like that

the matter right there much like cousion with the trust
like official protection for the that were it not for
the Justly high character Mr. Gage he would naturally be
assumed couson with the trust However, in view Of
Mr. Cages high repue this is not thing to be

as it is showing creduy Of mind absolutely amazing is
doubtedy true explanation upright could not

real temptation to theft committing theft But that creduous

Man, the New Creator.
What is Man,

what Is Man!
There is a word of prophecy con-
elning him. If Niagara suggests the
old gods, slrly and mean to us-ward,
steel-making contemns them, is the
opinion of Eugene Wood in an article
on steel-making in Success Magazine.
Thor with his hammer, Jove with his
thunderbolts, Hercules with the orig
inal Big Stick-they couldn't hold
their job at steel-making GO to the
Office and get your time" would be
what the "pusher" would tell them.
The only mythic figure that the steel
industry suggests is that bold and res
olute, that unconquered and uncon-
querable spirit, whom Millions reluc-
tant pen was forced to make the hero
of paradise Lost" The flame, the
fervent heat, the rolling smoke re-
minds us of him. But most of all the
mighty works that are done therein
recall that prophecy of his (if Eden's
serpent be the allotrspe of Lucifer) ::
"Ye shall be as gods"-and more also.
What is Man? The New Creator.

PURPOSE NEVER MADE CLEAR
Probably No One Except Aaron Burr
Really Knew What He
Planned to Do.

There is to this day not q little ele
ment Of mystery about what was
known as Burr's conspiracy. Soon
after his duel with Alexander Hamil-
ton, in which the latter got his death
wound, Burr was indicted for murder
both in New York and New Jersey.
But before the warrant could be
served on him he made his escape to
the then primitive west.
Burr apparently made little or no eff
fort to conceal his Identity after get
ting out of the reach of the authorities
for the murder of Hamilton. In truth
he apparently was inclined to look
upon himself as something of a ma
tional hero, suffering from the pref
udices of politics.
In the course of his extensive west
ward tour Burr Matched a plot for
some sort Of gigantic, visionary and
mysterious empire over which he was
to become the ruler His real pur-
pose has never been definitely known,
even those joining in the enterprise
being kept in more or less ignorance
of its scope. Some historians have
the impression that his purpose was to
separate the Mississippi valley from
the rest Of the union and thereon to
found new country. Other historians
say that his real object was to raise
an army and conquer Mexico, thus
making himself the ruler of that coun-
try.
The headquarters of this plot finally
became Blennerhassett island, in the
Ohio river, the owner of the island,
Hartman Blennerhasset, becoming one
of Burr's co-conspirators. In 1906 Burr
gathered about him there group of
reckless adventures of his own ilk
and set out to march to the region of
Texas, ostensibly for purposes of colo
nization.
President Jefferson Immediately is
sued a proclamation warning all citi-
zens of the country against joining
the expedition, having been informed
that the real object of it was not a
peaceable one. Burr was finally ar
rested by the presidents orders and
sent a captive to Virginia, where he
was indicted on charges of conspiring
against the government. Blennerhas
set also was captured, but was subse-
qdently set free when Burr was ac-
quilted of the charge.

Perhaps it is not too much to saw
that through a series of properly
conceived and weli1onlucted Festiv-
ais, the civic and institutional life of
an entire county or district, and the
lives of many individuals of all ages,
may be permanently quickened and
inspired, the play movement thus
making surely for greater content
tense patriotism and righteousness
on the farm lands and in the vii
lage populations of our country. Such
indeed, are the socializing effects of
organized and supervised play.

the third Convention of the Play
ground Association of America.
1t must be emphasized that Play
Festival is not just for fun it is not
merely picnic The picnic has its
value and is not to be deserted. But
the Play-Festival like the ancient fes-
rivals and feast days of the Bible has a
purpose and an important mission to
perform. Of course, it consists large
" of play, and one of its chief
ends is the providing of amusement.
But preparation for this day Of pleas
ure represents months of effort in
the part of the thousands of child
rem and adults who take part init,
and a great deal has been learned
in this effort. Take a school for
instance, under the leadership of
good teacher. In getting ready for
their parts, the pupils become close
ly organized work of all kind is bet
ter done, school spirit is developed,
physical health is promoted in train
ing for the games. Then too, at the
Festival, the children may measure
their accomplishments with those
Of the children of other schools, and
find out just which are their strong
and weak points.

Crowd Of 10000
For Minnesota Game

A seating capacity of 10000 on
the football field at Madison is be-
ing prepared for the Minnesota Wis
consin game Nov. Is, when it is ex-
pected that the biggest crowd in the
history of football at the university
will attend the contest which will
probably decide the championship
of the Big Nine.
Since Chicago plays Cornell at
Ithaca, and Michigan meets Pennsyl-
vania at Philadelphia on that day,
the Gopher game will be the
only big one in the west Nov. Is,
and it is anticipated that all grid
iron enthusiasts of the Northwest
will be in Madison for that event.
Chicago alumni, 500 strong, will at
tend in body, and Milwaukee, Eau
Claire, La Crosse, GAINESVILLE, Beloit,
Watertown, Oshkosh, Racine and
other cities of the state will also
send big delegations. A large auto
party will go from Milwaukee to the
game, and the Twin Cities, accom-
panied by the Minnesota university
regimental band, will fill some l, 900
seats of the grandstand.

tons among cities of the state and
one for Milwaukee, with vacuum
cleaning systems as prizes for sell
ing the most stamps in proportion
to population or school attendance.
These systems cost from $500 to
$4,000, according to the size of the
building to be equipped. The offer
includes installation, all expenses,
piping, and course of instruction
for the school janitor. The Aero
system is the standard of the world
and is already in use in Madison
high school, ST, Johns military
academy, St. Johns Cathedral in
stitute in Milwaukee, schools at
Chiffon, Green Bay and Milwaukee.
The competition will be so ar
ranged that every city or school is
given an equal chance of winning
the prizes. If city Of 1000 sells
stamps in the proportion of 20 for
each inhabitant, for instance, and
city of IS, 900 sells only 19 for each
inhabitant, the smaller city wins the
prize. The exact details will be an
nounced later.
F. ]. Matchette, vice president
and general manager of the Ameri-
can Air Cleaning Co., has always
taken great interest in the anti
tuberculosis crusade, and his inven-
ton of the vacuum cleaning system
is regarded as an important step in
the prevention of consumption, as
it solves the dust problem, which is
recognized as one of the worst
breeders of disease known.
The Christm as stamp committee
was almost overwhelmed by the
magnificent gifts and believes that
with prizes valued at thousands of
dollars, enough interest should be
stimulated to make the sale of the
required 100000 stamps possible.
The gifts add another important
consideration to purchasers of Wis
consin Christmas stamps. Besides
bringing a penny into the anti
tuberculosis fund and teaching a
fellow being the peril of tuberculo-
sis when affixed to letter or pack
age, the purchase of a Christmas
stamp now means boost" for a
schoolin the state and onei in Milwau-
kee in the direction of winning a

COURTS TO REVIEW
MRS. HOLLAND CASE
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Granted
Woman Who Was Convicted Of
Poisoning own Baby.

Guthrie, okla. July 15.--Presidine
Judge Henry M. Furman of the Grim
inal court Of appeals has issued tenn.
porary writ of habeas corpus upon an
application presented by Ira n Terrill
the well known Oklahoma character
for Mrs. Ida Holland, formerly OF
Fort Leavenworth, Kans., who togeth-
er with blind woman was convicted
in the Lincoln county district court
and sentenced to life terms in the peni-
tentiary for the alleged poisoning Of
Mrs. Hollands baby, in hotel at
Gambler several years ago. The baby
died from the effects of carbolic acid.
The women, during the trial and sicne
claimed that it was the blind woman
that gave the child the poison, think
ing she was giving it medicine which
was on the same shelf as the carbolic
acid. The prosecution claimed there
was no evidence to show that the
baby's mouth had been burned on the
outside with the acid aud that blind
woman could not have given the baby
carbolic acid in a spoon without spill
ing it. The state pardon board several
months ago recommended the grant.
ing a pardon to Mrs Holland, but
the governor has held up the recon-
mendation owing to protests being filed
by Chandler parties The writ is re-
turnable next Tuesday when it will
be determined whether the woman will
be given her freedom. Mrs. Holland
and the blind woman are now in jail
at McAlester.
