WILSON FORECASTS DISASTER

"If she loses her self-possession America will
stagger like France through fields of blood before
she again finds peace and prosperity under the
leadership of men who understand her needs"
The foregoing is one of the fiery sentences In
a hot speech recently delivered by DR.. Woodrow
Wilson, president of Princeton university, to the
sons of Old Nassau at banquet in Pittsburg.
Then, turning to the subject of churches, DR..
Wilson went on to say:
Il trust l may be thought among the last to
blame the churches, yet feel it my duty to say
that they at least the Protestant churches, are
serving the classes and not the masses, of the
people They have more regard for pew rents
than FOR the mems souls. They are depressing

WE'LL you needn't be ashamed to ask the ques-

to explain it to the Sigma Chi society of the uni

Here's the definition: An ion is an atom, or
a piece of an atom, a molecule or group OF
molecules which carries the electrical charge.
Now you know what an ion is. But listen!
By capturing a single ion and putting tag
on it Professor Millikan has swept away much

electrical charge since the discovery OF electric

ILLINOIS BRlBE CASE JUDGE

Judge w. H. McSurely of the Cook county
circuit court the jurist selected to try the first
of the Illinois bribery cases, is former member
of the legislature and therefore better qualified
than most judges would be to decide the issues
The Judge knows the usages of the Illinois legis-

stand will be plain to him without explanations
by counsel or witnesses.
Learned counsel for Lee O'Neil Browne

Though the senate committee on

the idea of letting the college have it

Country School
key to Problem

In accordance with the wishes of
number of Washingtonians who called
upon him during his trip, Governor M.
E. Hay has consented to appoint a
state country life commission. This
appointment will be made on April 10,
when the state executive returns to
the east side.
The purpose of this commission
will be to work in conjunction with
the representatives of neighboring
states to begin the great national
movement of lettering the conditions
surrounding rural life.
Speaking today of the work which it
is intended that this commission shall
do when named, one of the men inter-
ested said:
THE first aim of the movement is to
redirect the purposes of our country
people. This makes the first work
educational We mean to begin with
the country schoo s. to bring them to
the highest perfection. We believe
the country schools should be SO good
that the city people will send their
children to them rather than have
children from the rural districts jour-
neying to the cities for education"

JURrS VERDICT PUTS ALUM BAKING POWDER
UNDER THE BAN IN PENNSYLVANIA
Harrisburg Jury Decides by Verdict of Guilty in the Gross
Case that 1909 Food Act Forbids Sale of Alum Powder

In the case brought by the
Pennsylvania Dairy and Food
Department against MeyerGross,
a Harrisburg grocer, for the sale
of alum baking powder, the
verdict was guilty, which places
alum baking under the ban
throughout the entire state. The
case is the first one of its kind
to be tried in the United States,
involving as it does the denial of
the right to sell alum baking
powder unde.. any conditions.
1t was brought under the Penn
sylvania food act of 1909, which
forbids the sale of food or ingredi-
ents of food containing alum.
The Food Department through
this prosecution said that this

record at the end of my term does not
justify my reelection, 1 should not be
reelected. If / serve the people we'll
l should be favored to serve them an
other term by reason of experience.
Yet, no matter how good my re-
elected from eastern Washington, the
people of western Washington, COM
prising almost two thirds of the popu-
lation of the state and having tremen-
dous industries needing special atten-
ton, would be fully justified at the end
of my term in insisting that a senator
should be elected from their section of
the state, and this, no doubt, would be
done. Do not consider me in this mat
ter at all, but act solely for the benefit
of the state and eastern Washington"
