A western college professor who de-
clares that the average high school
graduate, hardly past his eighteenth
birthday, has not the moral stamina
nor the experience to meet the world
silgle-handed as he finds it In college,
says: "One or two years should inter.
vene between the high school and the
college, in which the young man
should, in his home community, earn
his own support, and thus learn the
meaning of work, as well as the val.
ne of a dollar at the same time &C.

a lovely opportunity for argument

Washington.-That the critical situa-
ton between thit country and Nicara-
qua has reached the acute stage was
evinced Saturday when Secretary Knox
sent for his colleagues in the state de-
partment and for the acting secretary
of the navy and his aides to meet in
conference in his home. For nearly three
hours the statesmen went over the stu
alton. The result of their deliberations
was not made public, but it was not
denied that more warships are to be
dispatched south at once.
"When does she sail?' Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Winthrop asked Rear
Admiral Potter, as he came down the
steps of Secretary Knox's residence.
Monday" responded the officer.
Neither would explain the meaning of
their question or answer.

of the Aero club in New York has

REFUSED MILLION BRIDE
RECORDS OF JUSTICE DEPART

Letter Written by President Roose-

Open Attempt.

Washington.-It is shown by depart
ment Of justice records affecting the So
| called electrical trust that the govern
ment, in July, 1908, was offered a mil
l~ion-dollar bribe to cease further investi-
CATION of the General Electric Company
and the Westinghouse Company in par
| ticular. and of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, incidentally.
The bribery attempt was made prac-
tically in this form:
First-If the trust 'busting' investi-
CATION of the electrical interests Of the
country were stopped, $~1,0o0,000 would
be contributed to the Republican nation
al campaign fund.
Second-It was suggested that if the
government did not comply with the
terms Of this offer, it might be neces-
sary for the electric interests, purely in
self-defense, to support the Bryan can
didacy.

ney-General Bonaparte, in replying to
the notification of the bride offer, Is In

Dear Bonaparte-I want to congratu-
late YOU on the admirable stand you
have taken in this matter. If the cleo
trio interests are not joined in an illegal
combination-if there is not a conspir-
acy between the General Electric and
the Westinghouse people, which has en-
listed strong moral support of the tele-
phone and telegraph interests and the
street railway interests-why need there
be alarm over a private investigation?
If -- comes to you again shall
be really delighted to have you tell him
straight from me, that the investigation
will be pressed with the utmost energy
to a conclusion, and that this will be
| done whether his clients contribute a
million for the election of Taft or a
million for the election of Bryan, or
whether they fail to contribute a cent
to either side.

Just this message from me, and put it
on writing if you desire. Yours adj
