MEN AUTOMAT|(NtS

All Their Actions Controlled

of Dean Vincent.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-"The man
who tips his hat to a woman is not
actuated by sentiments of chival-
ry," said Dean George E. Vincent
of the University of Chicago in an
address to the Cook County Teach
ers' association today. The wom-
ans smile merely touches a hut
ton over his heart and off comes
bis hat. An imaginary button COM
municates with the machinerys.o of
his chivalric makeup and causes
him to raise his hat with all the
sracefulness of intended. and
hearty Difference.
Men are made up of a series
of buttons, and all their actions
are controlled by the pressure
brought to bear ON them. To, a
large extent our lives are the Hives
of automatons. All we have to do
is to push the right button at the
right time and the right thing is
done.
THE well bred person never
gives any apparent attention to his
grammar or his English. or his
etiquette. How delightful 1t Is to
meet such person.

had a cigar In its mouth, and there
was door In its back where the
coal was shoveled in. There was
a place where you started the ma
chinery and off the man would
walk until the machinery was
stopped.
"But one day there was hitch
in the stopping of the machinery,
and it walked straight to the end
of the room and stuck its cigar and
hat brim into the wall, and it's
legs moved up and down in automa-
tic attempts to proceed.
There are a lot of people in this
world who can get along very we'll
automatically so long as there is
nothing to hinder the working OF
the machinery, and nothing 90 i'm

BY w. G. SHEPHERD.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-For the
first time in histor yam aeroplane
passed over warship when Will
bur Wright recently sailed nine
and one-half miles up the Hudson
river and back again.
Below, as he sped, lay dozens of
great fighting ships of seven
navles, their monster guns helpless
when he was above them.
Onto any one of these vessels he
might have dropped enough dyna-
mite to sunder them, according to
his statement.
Il could easily drop bomb on

But could he? The navy men who

Wright passed squarely, while the

Long before the machine could
be plainly seen the roar of the mo-

While it was in the distance
there were dozens of giant guns
that might have belched great mis-.

speck of human beings in the
seat. Always fearful of conflicting
breezes, the worst fears of Wright
might have been realized by the
rush Of air of one Of these great
shells, even IL It would not have hit
him. A network of rushing cyclonic
currents OF air might have been
thus thrown up into space against
him.

MINISTER'S SIS FARM
GOOD INVESTMENT
Sets Out Apple, Plum and Cherry
Trees and ls Now Realizing
a Comfortable Living.

FORT COLLIN, Col, Oct. 15.-
Less than eight years ago Rev. c..
E. Mogg, a Pennsylvania minister,
invested SIS in raw land, from
which he is now reaping a rich
harvest of money. The land con-
sists of 15 acre tract three miles
north of this city and quarter
of a mile from the terminus of the
electric line.
Fifteen years ago it was apprais-
ed at $1.25 per acre, being consid-
cred worthless except for grazing.
Little over seven years ago the
Rev. Mr.. Mogg bought the tract
for SIS an acre. He set out 1000

cherry trees, 700 plum and $50
apple trees. The land is not irri-
gated, but there are reservoirs near
by which afford some overflow,
and can be reached by the deepest
roots. 1t is now values at $1,000
an acre.
The cherry trees, which are not
yet all in bearing, yielded 1000
crates, one-third of what the or
chard will produce in a full crop.
One thousand crates of plums have
thus far been shipped and this
represents about one-half that
crop. Apples are just ripening,
and will also yield well.
The net profit on the tract this
season will probably be $4,000. The
owner is still an active minister,
and the revenue from his Colorado
orchard on an original investment
of SIS is so much easy money"

'In addition to these guns we

Judge Edwards is holding q short
civil term Of court here, arriving
here last Wednesday.
Nothing but civil cases are being
tried.
No date has yet been set for a
criminal jury term.
Tt is stated that no criminal term
will be held until the Supreme Court
will have appointed the several judi
ges, which it is understood win be
done. Then the judges Of adjoining
districts will not have to neglect the
business of their own parishes so
much, to attend to that Of st. Ian

Judge Perrault, Judge-elect from
this district, after spending a few
days home, has again gone to New
Orleans for medical treatment. He
expects to return shortly, when he
will have completed the treatment,
and will be able to remain home, and
perhaps soon assume the duties Of

subject of Child Hygiene"
Dir. Harvey Dillon, President Of
the State Board Of Health, was to
have been present to make a talk on

ably prevented from coming.
Mrs. Saint Martin is representing
thu National Mothers Congress, and
is delivering a series of lectures in
this State under the direction of the
State Board of Health.
She is an attractive woman and a
fluent and forceful speaker. Her OBJ
iect is to organize Mothers Clubs
throughout the country, and the
nucleus for one was started here.
''There are fifty Mothers Clubs in
New Orleans belonging to the Moth
ers Congress- said Mrs. Saint Mar

State. I will be followed here by
others, and hope that the necessary
interest for the organization Of q
Mothers Club will be aroused in 0pe.

"Our appeal" continued Mrs. Saint
Martin, is to the mothers. It is
stated on good authority that hall
the children that die in their early
infancy lose their lives because Of
bad sanitary conditions. The physi-
cal, mental and moral growth Of 9

viye is retarded from the same causes
IN many instances the underlying
causes Of bad sanitation are easily
recognized and easily removed. It il
to point out to mothers the simpler

Congress is doing this work"

MORE YOUNG NAN
MENTIONED FOR GOV.
IContinued from first page)

for his pains Of 1904.
Rural Louisiana is still very firmly
convinced that Bailey was cheated
Of his success in the last State pri-
mares.
Thus Bailey could speak as q pio-
neer in reform and as a martyr Of
the New Orleans organization power.
Both are powerful arguments to
country voters.
ROBERT G. WICKLIFFE.
Robert C. Wiekiife, on the other
hand, would come with laurels Of real
victory on his brow, laurels won
against the embattled forces of the
court house" influence in two-thirds
Of the parishes Of his district, against
the city and parish administrations of
Baton Rouge, against the IberVille
Parish organization and the st. Tam
many administrative influence.
Able workers, in the absence OF
Governor Sanders, used the influence
of the name of the State administra
ton against him, though Governor
Sanders declared that while he might
have his personal preference as Gov
ernor, he was hands off"
Wicklife is actually the first on
administration candidate for so high
an Office as Congressman who has
been elected IN The lower FIVE districts
of Louisiana in many years,
His campaign was watched with
Statewide interest, and be came to
his victory with perhaps fewer en-
emies than any man who has in re-
cent years won such q h~ardfoughb
political battle.
THE FORM SHEET.
Wicklife, Bailey and Dnpre are all
three young men; all three country
born and bred.
All three are lawyers.
WickIiRe and Dupre are college
graduates who have enjoyed the adj
yantages of means.
Bailey is largely aelf-educated.
Wicklife and Dupre possess per-
haps the more polished manners of
public address; Bailey is q stump or
ator Of proven force.
Both Bailey and Wicklife are re-
markable man-to-man c~ampaigners,
Bailey with the more aggressive per-
s0nality, Wieklife with an engaging
friendliHeas difficult to- resist.
Few men would be found to say
that any one Of the three would fail
10 do his own thinking but The young
Speaker has had the Disciplinary
training that might be held IN The
country to have rendered him TOO
susceptible to city organization IN
fuence.1
Wicklife, in Congress and Dupre
ais Speaker, could afford to await
easy opportunity, but Bailey perhaps
knows that the martyr ef yesterday
is soon forgot.
These three, or any two of them,
or any one, would lend an element Of
freelance hardihood to q Statewide
campaign unique in Louisiana poll.
