Great Storm

Chicago, April 25-Thc cold weather
which came on the wings of blizzard
last Saturday continues today and
every hour is adding to the damage
wrought to fruit and grain through
out the middle west.
Dispatches from all over the Mississ-

day nights reports of total damage
Of $50 100000 we're nor exaggerated.
The reports show that the fruit crop
apparently suffered the most and in
many sections it will be n total loss.
Farmers and nusery men stated today
that whatever fruit survived the snow
and icey winds of Saturday and yes
terday will probably be killed today.

LOR|MER PROBE IS BEGUN
SUBCOMMlTTEE OF SENATE COM
 MITTEE IN SESSION..
Ottawa Representative Who Was Ac- quilted in Chicago Ready
 to Testify.

Chicago. Sept. 23.-Senatorial in- quiry into the charges that have been made against the election of Senator William Lorimer started in the pres idential suite at the Congress hotel.
 The subcommittee of the senate committee on privileges and elections, which is to make the investigation, announced after a three hours eXecu- tive conference that all questions ot routine and procedure would be de termined at this session, which is public.
 Lee O'Neil Browne, who was acquit- ted of the charge of vote buying, is scheduled to tell the complete story of his connection with the affair The former Democratic minority leader in the house will be one of the first, if not the first witness called by the sen- atoral Investigating committee.
 Representative Browne is in Chi cago, and, it is said, in readiness to testify whenever he is called before the committee. Representative Charles White, the legislator whose comics sion marked the inception of the briD- cry scandal, also is in Chicago and prepared to testify
 Both Senator Lorimer and the Chi cago newspaper, which is responsible for the charges, have given the com mittee lists of witnesses whose pres ence will be necessary, but no sub poenas have been issued, ,-and none will be sent out until the committee has passed upon the need of their pres ence
 It is not likely that any blanket sub poenas for all the legislators who voted for Lorimer," will be issued.

TOPEKA RATE CONFERENCE
Just What the Meeting Will Accom- pllsh Is Not Known
 at Outset,

Topeka, Kas., Sept. Q3.-When Gov W. R. Stubbs of Kansas called to order the freight rate conference of governors, representatives of govern ors, mayors and representatives of commercial organizations of 12 west ern and southern states, no program had been mapped out. Instead, 1t was apparent that whatever resolutions were adopted would depend entirely upon the developments of the meet ing.
 The report that delegates from Hi nois would present charges to the con ference that western railroads have violated the Injunction obtained by the government against 50 western roads in the trans1lississippi rate cases caused considerable comment This injunction enjoined the roads from placing in effect proposed in crease in freight rates on grounds that the roads had conspired together. It is probable that resolutions urging the prosecution of the offenders will De adopted.

She stepped out of the buggy to open gate and lightning struck her, causing instant death. Her companion was not injured. !

A COMING MARKET

q ONE suggestions to California pro-
ducers of wine are made by the
~ United States consul at La Guai-
ra, Venezuela, Isaac A. Manning, which
would appear to furnish another argu-
ment for the establishment between
Panama and California ports of a gov
ernment-owned steamship line that
will lower the excessive freight charges
to Mexican and Central American
towns. Mr.. Manning says that Cali
fornia wines are quite unknown in
Venezuela and offers some suggestions:
1T would seem quite possible to in
troduce them here if a reasonable
freight rate could be secured from San
Francisco to Colon, there being COM
peting lines on this coast which would
insure a fair rate from Colon to La
Guaira. 1t is probable that through
rate from California has been made,
but the figures cannot be obtained
here. On coffee and cocoa from here
to California the rate is prohibitive,
being $1715 and $3.50 per ton, re-
spectively.
FROM france Ine rate on canned
goods and lines is 1912 per ton
(weight measure, at company's option),
and the ordinary rate between here
and Colon is 1886 or $4S2 per ton on
general cargo.
THUS it will be readily seen that the
cost of freight will be the leading
question in any effort to meet French,
Italian and Spanish competition here,
and when it is remembered that the
only vessels coming direct from Colon
here are of the above three national
tiles it may be difficult to secure a
through rate that will be sufficiently
low as to make this possible"
The quality of California products is
not open to question, either of the
canned goods or the wines, and it ap-
pears only a matter of transportation
rates whether the foreign competition
is met It does not seem reasonable
that commodities should be brought
across the ocean at less than CalifOr-
MIA goods can be set down on the coast
of Venezuela, and there is a sugges-
ton in this incident of the large trade
that may be in store for our products
when better shipping facilities are pro-
Vided

VAN LIEW'S CHANCE

NJ ANY persons will be inclined to
wi agree with at least one of Gov
Ia ernor Gillett's conclusions in the
Van Liew case, namely, that his con-
tinued headship of the Chico institu-
ton cannot be expected to rebound to
its benefit. Prof. Van Liew is held un-
der suspicion by a great many people;
the verdict of the trustees who ac-
quilted him-by a vote of three to two
was typical of the state of the public
mind concerning his culpability-per-
haps nearly evenly divided.
This being the case, his usefulness
is seriously impaired and the institu-
ton of which he has charge must feel
popular distrust so long as he is re-
tained at the head. If this We're the
first time Van Lew had been under
question as to moral fitness he might
be justified in insisting that he be given
the chance to live down aspersions;
unfortunately he has heretofore had
that chance, and the impressions to his
detriment persist.
Prof. Van Liew has had Ylndlca-
tion at the hands of the trustees after a
trial This is the time for him to re-
tire as gracefully as may be, If he hopes
to retire that way at all

Back to the States
(New York Times)

Good evidence of the abatement OF
the land speculation fever in the west
is afforded by the reports of the officers
OF the reclamation service that the tide
of migration from the western and
southwestern states to Canada has
turned and that many farmers are re-
turning to the States, while more
would be glad to return if they could
sell the Dominion farms they nave
bought and paid for. Farmers who
have come back to Montana are re-
ported as expressing unfavorable opin-
ions of the Canadian lands, of the crops
and particularly of the climate. They
dislike ice and snow in August
This northward migration of farmers
has attained in recent years volume
that has attracted attention. Our con-
suls have given these figures of the
emigrations from the United States
into Canada for the past five years,
ending March 81 of each year: 1906,
57,919; 1907 (nine months), 1869; 1908,
5S,S12; 1909, 59,926; 1910, 10S,79S; total,
312614.
AS speculation carried land prices to
the west and in the border states to
the highest figures ever recorded, it
was but natural that by selling out at
these inflated valuations and buying
cheap lands in Alberta the farmers

1--WE bless thee for the free and
noble spirit that is breathing with
uuickening power upon the educational
life of our day. and for the men and
women OF large mind and loving heart
who have made that spirit our common
possession by their teaching and ex-
ample. But grant that higher obe-
dience and sef-restraint may grow in
the new atmosphere of freedom. We
remember with gratitude to thee the
godlv teachers of our own youth who
won our hearts to higher purposes by
the sacred contagiof1of their life. May
the strength and beauty of Christlike
service still be plainly wrought in the
lives of their successors, that our chill
drcn may not want for strong models
of devout manhood on whom their
characters can be nodded.
do thou reward thy servants with
a glad sense of their own eternal worth
as teachers of the race. and in the heat
of the day do thou show them the
spring by the wayslde that flows from
the eternal silence of God and gives
new light to the eyes Of all who drink
of it,"
