NEW ROOSEVELT PROFESSOR

Much satisfaction is manifested in Germany,
especially in educational and scientific circles,
at the selection of Columbus university of Ben
jamin 1de Wheeler to fill at the Berlin unver-
slty the chair of Roosevelt professor, founded
and endowed by James Speyer of New York.
Prof. Wheeler, who for the last ten years has
been president of the University of California,
spent number of years in the sos at the
leading German universities, notably at those
of Berlin, Lefpsic and Jena, receiving at the
close OF his studies the highest honors, namely,
the degree of Phi. D. summa cum laude, from
the University of Heidelberg.
Many of the leading professors in Germany
are old fellow-students of his and as he has al

"A Cincinnati dispatch says the news
from Columbus that Gov. Harmon has
given orders to return tostheasConted-
crate veterans In Alabama certain
hags captured by the Fourth, Ohio Vol
unteer Infantry during the civil wsr
has led to protests and THAT the de-
partment commander .of.. the G. A.
r. will be asked to take action enjoin-
ing the governor. Among old union
soldiers there will be differences of
opinion as to the merits of the contro-
versy. A great many will side with
Gov. Harmon and hope that the flags
will be returned. The sentiment on
this subject among the great body Of
veterans has softened very much since
the FIRST administration of President
Cleveland, when huge. uproar was
raised in many parts of the north over
the report that the federal government
was preparing@to send back captured
southern tile flags to their original
owners. Another Memorial day is
approaching. The sections that were
severed during the civil strife have
grown together. Eleven years have
passed since sons of the north and
sons of the south marched side by side
under the starry banner of their re-
united country, to confront foreign
foe. 1t is high time to bury all the lin
gering hatreds of the past-and a
very large proportion of the men who
did the actual fighting in the civil war
have done so.-Exchange.

CREATOR OF GERMAN NAVY
Admiral Alfred Won Tirnitz secreta,

Admiral Alfred Won Tirpitz, secretary of the
navy in the German cabinet, is the man who is
really responsible for the sudden spasm of navy
building that is going on at a desperate rate
upon two continents In that connection he is
responsible for a strange feeling of national
uneasiness in at least one country outside his
own. For his determination to make his country
sea power of the first class is back of it ALL
Won Tirpitz is the pioneer and creator of
the kaisers navy, in broad sense. When, at
the age OF is, he became a naval cadet the
Pruss1an navy consisted of small collection
OF trlgates. The Faderland was considered about
as much of sea power as Switzerland, which is
landlocked. Consequently powers like Great

Woman's war upon the Payne tariff bill
looms largely as the burning issue of the hour
In her world. And instead of being confined to
the signing of huge petitions which nobody, will
ever read, or the passing of eloquent resolutions
by local literary clubs of whom nobody ever
hears, the campaign is to be an active one
fought on the ground at Washington and with
some of the same weapons that trust builders
and labor leaders and lumber kings and other
masculine interests use in such cases.

GREAT RAILROAD BUILDER

Donald D. Mann is a name that means little
to the average American reader. Most of them
have never heard it, or have not remembered It
II they did. And yet this Canadian railroad
builder and timber man has one unique claim to
public attention. It is this: For the past ~
years not single day has gone by that Mann
has not built or bought mile of railroad. He
is one OF the great railroad builders of his day,
He had commanding part in the creation of
the Canadian Northern railway, and he has cut
an important figure in the making Of manv
others of lesser importance to the world than
the one named. OF that he and partner re-
tain practically all of the stock

A Bold Step.

Is the Farmers Wife a Slave?
Scientific Investigation Shows That In Most
Cases Her Life is a Useless Tragedy.

What prosperity on the average
farm means to the women of the
country is described by William Ath-
erton Du Puy in startling article on
1.-The Useless Tragedy of the Farm
er's Wife," which appears In the De-
lineator for June. Were the six mil
lions OF farmers wives in the United
States placed in caldrou, fused into
one homogeneous mass, enough Of it
chopped out to make one woman-the
typical farm woman-and were she
depicted TO the people as she is, there
would be the greatest tragedy of Am
erican civilization, says Mr. Du Puy.
There is lot TO be found out about
this woman, and il is vital to know of
her. 1t is she who bears the brunt OF
feeding the multitude for which the
farmer receives SO much praise. 1t is
she who gives birth, before her vital
ity is sapped, TO the men who make
history. 1t is she who is martyred in
the times Of peace and plenty. 1t is
useless martyrdom, for it is easily
preventable, and for this reason 1t is
especially important that her condi
tion and the causes Of it should be
known.
In the first place, you will be tod
that it is all bosh about the unfavor-
able conditions on the farm; that the
farmers last year raised seven billions
of dollars worth of produce and that
they have given themselves the uplift.
Conditions are not at all like they
used TO be on the farm, you are told,
for these men are now riding in auto
mobiles and there is running water
which has been put in the house.
There is lot Of truth in some Of
your statements, for the farmers have
made a great deal Of money, and IN
some communities there are hundreds
OF conveniently arranged and ideal
homes on the farms. But the concen-
sus Of opinion Of the greatest author
titles IN this country upon farm condi-
tions is to the effect that probably ten
per cent Of the farmers are grasping
their opportunities for better living
In so far as the home is concerned,
and that the cond dtion of but ten per
cent Of the women is improved.
Strange 10 say, with the vast majOri-
w there has come worse condition
with the development of the farm aud
the advent Of posperity. The Country
Life Commission, appointed by he
President, has Travelled the country
over and found this to be fact.

Ho. Ho! Mr. Bluejay! and you're here again
Well. it's time. for tho robin. the bluebird

And all of the others are here long ago.
Was it fixing your toilet that made you SO
slow?
And sure. MIR. Bluejay. I'm bound to confes,
There's not one among them with such q
fine dress,
Your tie is the neatest, your hat is the best
There's never another so handsome and gay,
So fine altogether as you, MIR. Jay.
But then. Mr.. Bluejay. no doubt you have
heard
OF the adage. Fine feathers don't make 8
fine bird
You're saucy. old fellow. and quarrelsome
quite;
You scold the woodpccker. the robin you
fight,
The small birds you bully. you tease and
annoy;
You act altogether like big. surly boy.
And what's worse, you rascal, you know
you will steal;
The eggs of your neighbors oft make you a
meal;
You break up their nests. and you murder
their young;
Indeed. for your crimes. sir. you ought to be
hung.

Kay! Ksy!"
"Peedunkle! Peedunkle! PwiIhilly! Djah,

He squeaks like windmill: he screams like
hawk;
The squeal Of the porker he's trying to mock;
With fun overfowing each harlequin note
He pours from the depths OF his mischievous
throat.
All yes! He's jolly old mimicking jay.
There's never another so lively and gay.
In spite of his failures we can't help admire
His frOlicsome manners and handsome attire.
Most sadly well miss him through winters S
long reign,
When wild winds are sweeping o'er orchard
and plain;
Most gladly we greet him with hearty ''all
hail!'
As spring re-awakens the wood and the vale.

Old Bourbon! the motto inscribed on our
banners.
Though friends of good order may view it
with scorn;
We've sworn the subverson of civilized man
By ioyfuly shouting. Old Bourbon reform.
Ye friends of old Bacchus your colors are
flying,
They're now born in triumph, no longer
despair.
To raise your lost honors It's long we've
been trying;
Behold your old motto now floats in the
air.
The chains that nthralled you are bursting
asunder.
From Temperance dominion you are made
free:
You hear it proclaimed while the nations
may wonder.
Our holding for Bacchus great Jubilee.
The temple Of wisdom is already yielding.
The sceptre of virtue to revelry throng,
The dream powers reason your foes have
been welding.
Victims are captive to old Bourbon and
song.
Then strike the new anthem and raise the
Hosanna,
That each mortal rebel may catch the glad
sound,
Now unfurl to the breeze in triumph our ban
ner.
And soon well be able the earth to con-
found.
