T. Fuller, father of the "Fullerlicker bill.
 The amendment leaders are being criticized by some of their own people and it is said that they have hurt their cause ire parably.
 The anti-amenders are willing to give the amenders all of the votes that they can get h ere by holding Sunday polit- ical speakings.
 The Mercury Banner said editorially: sJn dear old Sabbath observing Hunts vile the amenders would not dare sh oclx the sensibilities of the people by a political discussion in church on Sun day. but the Lords day will be pro famed by discussing political issues at the Elks heatre this afternoon. What excuse is there for this proclamation? Are not six days sufficient for such labors? The amenders will learn that

MANUAL TRAINING
 FOR THE YOUTHS Great Work of Minnesota MiI-
 Iionaire Lumberman A WONDERFUL SCHOOL
Work of the Stout Institute Is Practi- cabiIIty-Boys and Girls Are Taught How To Work.
 Boys Make Success
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Private Car, Southern States Superin- fendents of Education, Menomonie, Wis. October 23--With a love of humanity that has sought to give aid to those who are willing to work, but know not how, J. H. Stout, millionaire lumberman and ac- tive citizen, has built up, or furnished the money to build up here a wonderful school for the manual training Of the youth of the land. Boys are taught the use of tools and the intricacies of trades while girls are given the knowledge that will fit them for wives and home-makers of the generations to come Year by year since 1908, when 1t began, the plant here has been carried on to activity and de- velopment until 1t is now worth half a million dollars and is probably costing Senator Stout s2O,Oo0 8 year to maintain.
 There are four distinct lines of work done by the organization, viz: The train- ing of teachers for manual training ana for domestic art and science; the tralnlng of young women as home-makers; the training of young men as trade workers and experimental work in the field of industrial education. The first organiza- tiOn WAS t1ldI Ol lno lTdlhlLS bCuooi III 1903, which, in 1908, this came under the general head and now all are thus or ganized as the Stout Institute. There are large brick buildings for each depart ment, and the local school building is connected with these by covered passage ways and the children of the town receive the manual training and the domestic sci ence courses without cost.
 Senator Stout, who is the head and front of this work, gets his best happi- ness out of it. Several years ago 8 friend in St. Louis mentioned that he knew of some young people who might be aided if they had knowledge of this kind. Send them along and I will pay for it." said the senator-who was not a senator then. It was found that just
