A Rose Birthday Party


On Tuesday afternoon Mrs, T. C.
Cheney entertained at her home on Har-
| rison Ave. twelve ladies whose birthdays
| occur during the month of June. 1t was
an affair of roses, the decorations and
refreshments assisting in carrying out
the scheme. Each guest was required to
guess upon the number of petals of a
huge rose, the most nearly correct esti-
mate winning prize. Mrs. Ernest Billings
won the prize, the consolation trophy
going to Mrs. Raspe. There were jig
saw puzzles of rose pattern, Mrs. Rich
and Mrs. Slayton winning the first prize,
Mrs. Child and Mrs. Rublee the consola-
ton prizes, and birthday cake of roses,
which upon investigation proved to con-
tain a pretty gift for each of the June
ladies. The browning feature of the oc-
casion was of course the real birthday
cake, with its candles. Those present
were Mrs. Geo. M. Powers, Mrs. W. A.
Beebe, Mrs. Fl. Dodge, Miss Blanche |
Peck, Mrs. f. r. Child, Mrs. H. NJ. Rich,
Mrs. o. S. Raspe, Mrs. E. j. Billings and |

Arago, the great French scientist,
was never seen with a decoration on
his breast. He valued honors lightly.
One evening Leverrier, the astronomer,
called on him on his way to dine with
minister. He expressed a wish to
appear decorated with an order to
which he was entitled, having received
the official notice of the honor, al
though he had not as yet the decora-
ton itself.
"Open that drawer" said Arago.
'and take whatever you want"
In that drawer were all the crosses
and ribbons which kings and empe-
rors confer.
While Arago wished above every
thing to promulgate science and to
make his researches useful. be did not
attempt to Identify himself forever
with his discoveries by writing books.
He had no time for writing, but con-
tented himself with noting the results
OF his work In the record OF the bureau
Of longitude or announcing It verbally
to the academy.

Recommendations President VIII
Make to Congress.
REGULATION OF RAILROADS
Would Increase Power Of Com.

Des Moines. Ia, Sept. 20.-President
Taft spent little more than four
hours In Des Moines end during that
time breakfasted with United States
Senator Cummins, one OF the 'insur-
gent" leaders in congress, reviewed
an imposing parade of more than
5000 federal troops and made an open
air address to an immense crowd
gathered from all the surrounding
country. In the speech he discussed
in detail the changes he will recon-
mend to congress In the interstate
commerce and antitrust laws. The
troops which the president reviewed
are engaged in a military tournament
here.
The president announced that he
would urge an interstate commerce
court of five members to consider ap-
peals from rates fixed by the inter-
state commerce commission.
He will also recommend legislation
to prevent one interstate railroad COM
pany from owning stock in compel
ing line and compelling roads thus
owning stock to dispose of their hold
ings within a given time.
Legislation to prevent the overissue
of stocks and bonds and the watering
of stocks will be strongly urged,
the presidents proposition being that
no stocks or bonds shall be issued ex-
cept by permission of the interstate
commerce commission after an in
quiry has been made into their neces-
sity.
Shippers to Choose Route.
Giving to shippers the choice of
routes in the shipment Of freight is
another important provision which the
president favors.
In taking up the antitrust law Pres
ident Taft declared that he knew of
no way in which a distinction could
be made between good" and bad"
trusts, for he regarded all combina-
tons to suppress competition and to
maintain a monopoly to be in the
same category, whether the terms of
the Illegal contract should be regarded
In some instances as reasonable" or
unreasonable"
The president also discussed at
some length the proposal to except
labor unions and farmers organiza-
tiors from the operation of the anti.
trust law. To specifically except
these organizations, he declared.
would be vicious legislation, but he
pointed way in which they could be
relieved Of some of the onerous re-
strictions now placed upon them. but
at the same time be held amenable to
injunctions, which form of procedure
he believes adequate to deal With any
violations by the unions.

John Albert johnson, governor Of
Minnesota, died September 2lst at
st. Mary's hospital Rochester, MINI,
as the result of surgical operation.
Not only the state, which he has
honored by accepting three times
the governorship is in grief, but the
nation entire is grieving for the loss
of one who has shone with such
modest lustre as enc OF its safest,
cleanest, wisest and most unselfish
political leaders. The greatest need
OF all nations is incorruptible, com.
prehensive statesmen. This need
was fulfilled in Governor johnson,
and recognized so heartily by the
people OF his own state that they
obliterated party lines to honor HIM
and entrust to him the highest posi-
tion within the gift of the state A
staunch democrat in state over
whelmingly republican is rarely
elected so nearly unanimously as he
has been, the only democrat On the
ticket elected. The eulogy that his
own commonwealth has so often evil
denced by their faith in hisintegrity,
their love for bis manliness and good
fellowship during his years Of ser
vice eclipses all eulogies that can be
written Of him. At forty. eight years
Of age be was one Of the best known
and popular statesman; his death
means a national less, his life gives
an object lesson that viii influence
the generations TO come and will
inspire other lives TO climb from the
obscuTity Of pioneer country life to
the pinnacle Of success. Leaving
school when fourteen years of age,
beginning at the lowest round to
carve name and fortune, he proved
that be who viii may rise without
college honors, or wealth, or social
influence 10 lift him. His political
career did not dim his allegiance to
the ties OF home and friends. Never
q husband paid more beautiful trib-
utes 10 his wife than Governor
johnson; he credited her with max
ing his home happy, his principles
hrmer, his discernment keener.
Last year be was asked to push a
campaign to secure his own nomina-
ton for president of the United
States. He declined to do SO; he
said be wanted VIM. j. Bryan to
b9re che more chance and after Mr..
Bryan's nomination the governor
made tour Of the state speaking
fOr the nominee, night after night,
when too worn and i'll to stand with
cut support. Governor johnson was
. born reformer and believed that
municipal reforms were the stepping
stones to reform in state and nation
and that the humblsst endeayor. as
the humblest individual, that helped
10 improve local or general social
and political conditions deserved
recognition. Truly great and
good man has gone to his reward
