liable to be piowboys, rail splitters

long lists of university degrees.
The Wrights are entitled to all the
honors they are receiving, and more.
1t will require future ages to fill the
due measure of their fame. Whatever
they have accomplished has been by
their own efforts. The few attempts
previously made to navigate heavier
than air machines were of little help
to them. They had to test every step
of the way by practical experiment:
they had to learn to fly by flying.
After the wonder is accomplished it
looks comparatively simple. but it was
anything but simple in the trying out
stages. The chief difficulties were not
mechanical. but scientific. The great
problem was that of balance, the over
coming of air currents. Here they had
nothing to guide them and were COM
PEELED to build up a science of air re-
sistances. to model and remodel motors
and propellers. rudders and wings. to
learn the details of gliding flight and
to perfect their machines until equal
to all demands. One of the great Sc
crets of their success is contrivance
for shifting the angles of their planes
as does a soaring bird. Contrary to
general belief. however. they COINED
no ideas from birds until they them
selves had flown. Then they could see
the reasons for the maneuvers of the
feathered folk and gained valuable
hints. One does not learn to ride q

TheBlack Mystery

Thousands of pages have been
printed about the Negro-rang-

Bones and Tambo to the ethno-
logical report of Professor High
brow of Blahah University.
But the truth is yet to be told.
Because the Negro is an ,un-
solvable mystery.
"The Unknowable Negro" by
Harris N. Dickson, is the best
and fairest article of its kind we
have seen.
For the first time the Negro is
fairly written about by a man
who knows no Mason-Dixon line
Judge Dickson might be called a
Nationalist. He has lived much
of his life in the North and has
the Northern point of view. His
home is in the very heart of the
Negro Belt--and he knows the
Southern viewpoint. His Won
derful article is the comprehen-
sive result of unbiased thought,
thorough research, based on facts
and conditions-not on preju-
diced opinions.

Why Mrs. Adams Was No. Home.

Why Mrs. Adams Was Not Home.
The Rev. DR.. Smith was acknowl-
edged great preacher. and he was
also a close student But he was no
pastor and had horror Of making
pastoral calls. One day he heard an
address which convinced the dear old
man that by not visiting his parish
toner's he had not perhaps fulfilled his
duties as spiritual leader. SO he de-
termined to call on each member OF
his church, and. taking the roster OF
the church, he decided to do 1t alpha
betically. The first name was Mrs.
Adams. so to Mrs. Adams house reso-
lutely went the faithful pastor next
afternoon. But Mrs. Adams was not
at home, said the maid
"Not at home?" echoed the pastor.
'tN-n-o, SIR" answered the somewhat
embarrassed girl.
But the pastor, not knowing why she
was embarrassed, thought perhaps the
girl was "nbbing." so he persisted.
when will Mrs. Adams returnY' he
asked ~
II really don't know" answered the
maid.

Trouble Ahead For Aldrich

Press reports state that Senator
Aldrich will have his tariff bill ready
for introduction three days after the
opening of the special session of
Congress, and that it is his purpose

When Aldrich attempts to rail
road a tariff revision bill of his lik-

ators may be seen but not heard.
Such men as Briston, Cummings,
La Toilette, Root and others who
are with them in this fight, cannot
be frowned down by Boss Aldrich,
and they propose to have any tariff
measure that may be presented
thoroughly considered before per-
hitting it to come to vote.

Stephenson Elected

AS a result of the joint ballot
for United States Senator, taken by
the Wisconsin Legislature, last
Thursday, March 4th, 1909, Hon.
Isaac Stephenson was formally de-
clared duly elected to that Office for
the full term of six years, commenc-
ing on that day.
Mr.. Stephenson's position as a
United States Senator has been at
tanned through an unfortunate COM
bination of circumstances which
we believe a majority of the people
of this state sincerely regret. Ten
years ago he was candidate for
this Office, but after determined
fight was defeated. The reform
phalanx was then being formed by
Mr.. La Toilette, and Mr.. Stephen
son joined it's ranks. He is not a
gutter" and bided his time. Two
years ago it came. His conspicu-
Gus service in the cause of reform,
supplemented by a promise that he
would stand back and give the other
fellows a chance if he could be per-
mitted to round out his career"
with two years in the United States
Senate, secured for him the coveted
prize.
In the meantime, what may prop
erly be termed the plurality pri-
mary election law, distinctively,
reform" measure, was placed in
the statute books. A few months
in the Senate served TO give Mr..
Stephenson an appetite for full
term therein, and he figured that
with three or four candidates in the
field a plurality primary would ap-
pease his longing in that direction.
He was an apt pupil in the school
of reform politics; went in to win,
and came out ahead. His methods
were the same as those employed
by his tutors. and those. common to
the candidates against whom he
pitted himself.
However much his success may
be regretted, Mr.. Stephenson's cleo
ton appears to have been regular"
and it will prove an instructive
lesson to some of the big. politicians
who will doubtless undertake to
shape the results of the primary
election to be held next year.

How 1t Happened

Those who are engaged in an act
i've warfare against Senator Steph-
enson are smarting sorely under his
election, which they charge was Sc
cured through intimidation and
fraud. They allege that the alb
sence of three Democratic members
of the Assembly at the time of bal
loting was arranged for, and that a
Republican member was threatened
with dire consequences if he did
not get into line for Stephenson.
Be this as it may, the La Toilette
Republicans are not in a frst-c1ass
position to condemn Democrats for
not voting while the record shows
that sixteen anti-Stephenson Repub-
lican State Senator's refrained from
voting upon the Senatorial question
January 26, as directed by law.
It is also alleged that some of the
Stephenson members who had been
voting for him in joint convention
for more than month have ex-
pressed regret that he was elected,
last Thursday, pending the investi-
CATION. If this is true they should
resign and go home before making

"BEN=HUR" IN TWIN CITIES
Klaw g Erlanger's New and
Gre alter Production to be
Staged in Minneapolis
and ST. Paul


Towering triumphantly as the
most massive and picturesque as
we'll as the most impressive drama
tic spectacle in the history of the
world, Ben Hur" will seek new
honors at the Metropolitan Theatre,
Minneapolis, on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings and We'd
nesday matinee, March Is, Is and IL,
and at the Metropolitan Theatre,
St. Paul, Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday evenings and Saturday
matinee, March IS, 10 and 20.
Of all the spectacular productions
of modern times, none has been
credited with so long run of pros
perity. "Ben-Hur" to-day is
crowned with record of $500 per-
formances in nine years, and has
been seen by more than seven mil
lion people. The success of the
play is credited to the religious
sentiment that prevails in the theme,
making it particularly attractive to
the non-theatregoer who as rule
avoids the playhouse, owing to re-
ligious scruples. "Ben-Hur" has
the endorsement of the leading
lights of the church world and has
appealed to all theatregoers as the
most powerful drama that has ever
been created for the stage.
Wallace had few peers and no
superiors in the art of presenting to
the eye the imagery of scriptural
scenes. In "Ben-Hur," his master
piece, he gives the life, the color,
the feeling, of the time of Christ.
With these he presents an intense
heart story, heroic drama, filled
with the tenderest emotions, tinged
with romance of love and war, ex-
allied by the evidence of Divine mir
acles performed by the Nazafene.
Although the sacred presence is not
shown, it is felt, and throughout
the play runs the strong undercur-
rent of religious feeling which dis
tinguishes "Ben-Hur" from all 9TH
er dramatic offerings based on Bib
lical themes. The symbolism OF
Rome and Jerusalem, of Jew and
Gentle, of peace and war, are
shown, surrounding the great mys'
terry of the presence of Christ
Each scene unfolds as perfect pic.
ture, the whole blending in living
pageant.
Mail orders for seats will receive
prompt attention at both play
J houses.
