Address BY Professor Haynes.

From Mondays Daily.
Professor A. E. Haynes of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, gave a very fine
address at the Baptist church yester-
day morning. The subject was, "The
Study of the Bible Meets the Highest
Needs of Man." by giving a super
ior revelation of God, by furnishing a
correct ideal, by supplying the law by
which man can approximate to the
idea. This law was declared to be the
law of love and manifests itself in
abedience, service and sacrifice. The
speaker declared 'that the Bible was
the only book which taught man that
he was immortal. Laymen should
do their own thinking and not let
the preachers do all their. religious
thinking for them, declared the pro-
fessor.

Minneapolis Tribune: Minnesota may
yet have candidate for the presiden-
cy, and if it does, his name is likely
to be Winfield Scott Hammond, the
lone democrat congressman from the
Second district. This is the siren strain
that has been singing itself in the
ears of some of the democratic lead
ers and is now being poured into the
ears of Congressman Hammond. The
democratic leaders acknowledge it is
only a dream at present, but they
point out the fact that stranger dreams
have come true. Mr.. Hammond is
averse to accepting the nomination for
governor. He believes he can be elected
to congress again from the Second
district, and the st. James man has
a way of deciding his own plans. He
is not so certain that he can be elected
governor of Minnesota. This is where
he is at outs with such democratic
leaders as Frank Day, who insist
that it is possible for the democrats
to elect governor and say Hammond
can be elected, ''hands down.
Here is the kind of argument that is
being put up to the well-poised man
from st. James. He is told. in the first
place, that tariff and tariff reform is
to be the issue of the next state and
congressional campaign and also of the
next national campaign. They believe
the republicans are to be at outs with
themselves, both in Minnesota and
elsewhere, on this issue. In such an
event, they believe Hammond is the
ideal candidate for the governorship.
He was elected in All overwhelmingly
republican district, on just such an
issue. He defeated James T. McCleary,
who had a national reputation as
high protectionist. Mr.. Hammond does
for a different kind of tariff than the
one just enacted. He has reputation
as being able to make the strongest
speech on the tariff of any man either
in Minnesota or elsewhere. Hence, he
would be the ideal candidate for gov
ernor in a state which is likely to be
more OF less disturbed by this ISSUE
Then the democrats turn to the re-
publican ranks and find evidences of
discord. They say that Eberhart is
likely to be nominated. If he is nomi-
mated, men like jacobson, Dunn and
Brewer will be sore, or at least will
not be strenuously active for the elec
tion of man who will put them out
of the running for possibly four years

STATEMENT FROM CHIEF POND.

Chief of Police Pond stated today:
Il was called to task last evening
at the council meeting by Aldermen
Mahowald and Wiltgen for employing
a special police one night to watch
stolen goods. In about ten days time
Gamble Robinson & Co. had thirty five
baskets of grapes stolen, and we found
ten baskets of the grapes hidden near
the Milwaukee depot, where the party
put them, and | employed this special
police at So for the night to watch
these stolen goods in hopes that they
would come after the stolen grapes
and we could get the guilty party.
81 can't see any good cause for the
two aldermen going after me as they
did for trying to protect the tax pay
ers' property.
During the former administration
four phones were ordered for the
streets for the use of the police force
but were never put in use. The boxes
were at the corner of Rock and Front
streets, corner of Byron and Front
streets, corner of Vine and Fifth
streets, and at the corner of Warren
and Fifth streets.
'When Mr.. Meyer was elected mayor
we talked the matter over and came
to the conclusion that, with the linn
tied number of police which we have,
that it was almost impossible to use
them to advantage, so the mayor in
structed me to order them taken out
and save the city this expense, but
during the mayors absence from one
of the council meetings the council or
dered us to use the boxes.
81 am of the same opinion as the
mayor and some of the aldermen that
they are an expense that we could
stand it without. Now as I under
stand it, the matter of the telephone
boxes on the street and the fact that
L employed one special police for one
night to watch stolen property are the
reason that the two aldermen took me
to task"

BIDS FOR A new PIER.
County Board Opened the Proposals;
Contract Was Awarded.

Bids were opened by the county
board Saturday afternoon for build
ing new pier for the Bryson bridge
and for the repairing of another. The
work includes the building of false
work to hold the bridge up while re-
pairs are being made and the sliding
of the bridge two feet. 1t is long,
heavy bridge. A. Bashaw got the con-
tract at $2,33946 Two other bids
were submitted, one by C. S. Erickson,
$2,777.30, and one by S. A. Rause,
81, ,59095.
Work will begin at once, and when it
is completed, other expensive repairs
will have to be made to the super
structure. 1t is said that if the bridge
had been repaired two years ago, the
cost would have been but $25. Needed
repairs were delayed because there was
so much bridge work to be done.
There is another bridge needing just
about as extensive repairA

examinations FOR The RHODES
Scholarships

New York, Oct. l9.-Qualifying ex-
aminations for the Cecil Rhoades schor-
arships will be held in the various ed
ucational centers throughout the United
States today and tomorrow.
The plan of holding the examina-
tions in October is experimental, and
the question of making it permanent
will be decided later. The trustees
have decided that any candidate from
the United States who has passed the
qualifying examination in Latin and
mathematics snail be eligible although
he has not passed in Greek. Greek
heretofore has formed one of the sub
jects which all candidates for the
Rhodes scholarship must pass in order
to take any other examinations which
presupposes this entrance examina-
tion. 1t has been found that the small
amount of Greek required for this
qualifying examination, prevents some
otherwise desirable candidates in the
United States from competing for the
Rhodes scholarship.
1t has also been said that some
students, who are unwilling to pre-
pare the required Greek on the mere
chance OF getting scholarship, would
willingly do so when once the schol-
arship had been awarded to them
Oxford university has not, however,
changed its requirements 1t is al
most certain that the Oxford college
which accepts scholars so selected will
expect them to pass the required
Greek examination on coming into res
idence. An examination is held at Ok
ford toward the close of September of
each year. A scholar-elect will thus

The police department this morn
ing received by express from the Min
neapolis police department the waist
and ladies' gloves that are alleged to
have been stolen in this city. T.
Blum, proprietor of the Bee Hive, has
identified the waist as the one that
was stolen from his store the other
day, and 7. j. Lappin has identified
the gloves as pair that must have
been stolen from his dry goods store.
The package that was received this
morning weighed twelve and half
ounces, while that that was sent hast
week by l.. S. Gillick to his wife in
Minneapolis weighed pound and a
half. Allowing for the weight of the
collarette, it is estimated that with
the collarette in the package would
weigh a pound and nalf.
The Minneapolis police informed
Chief Pond by telephone this morning
that just as soon as they received
word from him to take the collarette
and forward it to Mankato they sent
to Mrs. Gillick's apartments but found
that she had gone back to st. Paul

History of Brotherhood.
The Minnesota Brotherhood was or
ganized at Albert Lea in 1907 and held
it's first annual session with Trinity
in Minneapolis in 1908. The work of
the past two years has been to or
ganize the men of the churches and
to secure the affiliation of such or
CARNATIONS with the Brotherhood. At
the Albert Lea convention but five
such organizations reported Today
there are about twenty in the churches
of the state.
The keynote of the year in the ma
tional brotherhood is organization. This
means perfecting the national organ
ization by completing state Brother
hoods and securing the cooperation of
our mems organizations. At a recent
meeting of the executive committee.
of the national brotherhood, it was
decided to Immediately complete the
organizations in three states, of which
Minnesota is one, by bringing them
into harmony with the national or
ganizat ton.
Herbert NJ. Bierce of Winona is the
president of the state organization,
and H. w. Jenson of Albert Lea the
secretary.

Henry kruse rescued man Friday
evening from the waters OF Swan lake
Just in time to save his life He was
the only person. within hailing dis
tance, and if he had not responded
promptly the man would have drown
ed. The hunter who had the misfor-
tune to fall into the lake was Mr..
Crabtree who conducts cigar store
in Minneapolis, and who was hunting
at the lake with party of Minnea-
polls friends. He got separated from
the others, and was near Enders' is
land when his boat, which was en-
! tlrely too small for safety upset in
five feet of water.
Called for Assistance.
Crabtree called loudly for assistance,
and Mir. kruse heard his cries nearly
half mile away and rowed as rap
idly as he could to the spot, but
could see no one. Finally he discovered
mans head above the water. Crab
tree was clinging to his upturned boat,
and standing on the lotion of the
lake, and the water came up to his
neck. The bottom was muddy and
uneven, and it was impossible to wade
ashore a third of mile or more dis
tant
Towed Man Ashore.
Mr.. Kruse turned Mr.. Crabtree's boat
right side up and with his shell case
dipped the water out, and then Crab
tree tried to climb in at one end
while Mr.. kruse steadied it, but his
weight took the little boat down so
much that it filed with water See.
ing that it would be impossible to get
the man into his boat again, and his
own boat being only large enough for
one, Mr.. kruse had Crabtree hold to
the boat and towed him ashore, which
was difficult matter to accomplish
safely.
Crabtree Fell Exhausted.
When Crabtree reached the shore, he
fell exhausted, and Mr.. Kruse feared
that he was about to expire, for he
was chilled to the marrow. Mr.. Kruse
built a fire and got the mans clothing
off and put on some of his own extra
clothing and got him warmed up lit
tie, and then, darkness coming on,
went in search of Crabtree's compan-
ions, whom he found at another part
of the lake. They hastened to the is
land and took charge of their compan-
ion, and supplied him with clothing.
Rescued Just in Time.
Mr.. Crabtree lost his shells and de-
coys and everything in the boat ex-
cept his guns, which be had chung to
and placed on top of his boat. Mr..
Kruse lost one of his oars in the
excitement and was obliged to paddle
with one oar in his search for Crab
trees companions. Had Mr.. Kruse not
been near and heard the cries for help,
the Minneapolis hunter would have
drowned, as he was where he coulc
not move and was weighted down
with long hunting boots filled with

Uncle Sam has "let out" his belt.
He is getting fat. Perhaps in sym
pathy with President Taft. Perhaps
because he is making more money.
During the present year the United
States has consumed more food of
all classes by far than during 1906.
This was brought about chiefly by
food conservation by natural means.
Basing per capita statistics of the
United States and the biggest coun-
tries of Europe on the consumption
of canned goods, the United States is
pointed to as the best fed of all ma
tions.
Since the recent finding of Dr. ii.
w. Wiley, chief of the bureau OF
chemistry at Washington, and member
of the federal board of food and drug
inspection. that American canned goods
contain no artificial coloring or pre-
servatives. the impression many had
gained through the agitation against
benzoate of soda has been corrected
and the use of canned goods has
greatly increased.
Taking peas. tomatoes and corn as
the three leading vegetables, the sta
tistics show that during 1909 America
Will eat close to S00,000,000 cans of
those varieties, while during 1906,
1907 and 1908 the average annual con-
cumption was only about 6O0OOO,OOOI
cans.
Return of prosperity to all classes
in the United States is shown in a
measure by the fact that canned
vegetables are gaining in popularity.
Not only do the figures point out
that the United States leads in the
quantity of food consumed, but it is
also shown that the sort of edibles
now going to the laboring and middle
classes is above the average i'll quail
ity.
Relative to the preserved foods,
canned products and the like, the in
crease in their use in the United
States during recent months is due
to the general spread of the knowl-
edge among housewives that chemical
preservatives are not employed by
the American Gamers and that steri-
lization by heat after the products
are placed in air tight cans is the only
preservation plan in use today.
Thus having confidence in the purity
of the food it buys, the American ma
ton is now consuming a greater guam
tity and a better quality of edibles
than ever before.
