was the combination Of announcement
and request with which John Olson. a
sailor employed on the Scandinavian
American line. greeted William eau,
proprietor of q market in Hoboken. as
he entered that establishment a few
days ago.
Mr.. Gau proceeded to open oysters.
The sailor looked hungry, so he made
haste.
AS the third oyster was pried apart
Mr. Gau uttered an exclamation, There
was a big pearl. well, that's the best
luck I've had in a long time" he OBJ
served. isn't 1t a beauty?"
Wal a minute" piped up Olson.
Didn't I buy the oysters and didn't
you take the money? My oyster, my

The oysterman protested, but the
sailor argued so convincingly that Mr..
eau finally acquiesced. They Jour.
neyed at once to a jeweler. who ap.
praised the Jewel at 5000 and threw
In an exclamation of admiration upon
Its white color for good measure. It

deposed national forester, delivered
his fighting talk"
The address vas delivered at the
banquet given by the st. Paul Roose.
welt club at the Ryan hotel to Mr..
Pinchot and to James R. Garfield, for.
mer secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Pinchot were
the chief speakers in q program which
included a happy address by Gov. A.
o. Eberhart.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering,
and significant as pointing to the pur-
pose OF the affair, the name Of Presi.

mitted to say that in selecting the
name of your club you have made

This was the nearest approach which
Mr.. Pinchot has made to any reference
to the possible future of the former
president and was received with 6
yell of applause.

ty went to the capitol and made an
automobile trip to Minneapolis.
A 1 o'clock luncheon at the Mime.
sofa club, where Governor Eberhart
and President Louis w. Hill of the
Great Northern railroad were guests,
was another feature of the day.
The advance notices of the speeches
of the two noted speakers, omitted one
fact. Mr.. Pinchot's speech was ad.
veTtised as a fighting talk" 1t was
not more of a fighting talk than was
that of Former Secretary Garfield.
Both speakers handled their subjects
without gloves. Mr.. Garfeld's talk
was a philosophic exposition of the
meaning and purpose Of the conserva,
ton movement. Mr.. Pinchot's was an
epigramatic attack on the present
order of politics. He dwelt on this
feature at length and in closing his
address, said that to drive out the
interests" was the one object to be
attained.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was
bitterly attacked by the former for.
ester, and the wooden schedule was es.
pecially singled out as an example of
the betrayal Of public trust.
1t was alleged by both speakers that
corporate influence was too powerful
at Washington and that legislators did
their behests rather than perform their
duties as legislators.

No direct attack was made on the
president, but indirect references were
made which might naturally be taken
as being aimed directly at the nations

who will give us not lip service but
actual, fighting, aggressive service, so
that we will give our own day and age
the best there is in government and
leave to posterity a heritage better
than it was when we received It,"
Mr.. Pinchot's address was rich with
e~pigramatic u~tterances, stingipg in
character and pointed in purpose.

Governor JBberhart received an ova-
ton when he entered the room, and
made q snappy talk which involved an
appreciation Of the conservation move
ment and was enlivened by lively sal
lies Of wit.

the fact that there is only one thing

GarfieId's Address.
In the opening of his address, For
mer Secretary Garfield called atten.

sofa swamp lands accomplished
through Governor johnson and the at
torney general Of Minnesota. He said
there were more states rights men In
the West than there are in the South.
They say" said MI. Garfield, I'VE
don't want you Eastern men to inter-
tere. That is the spirit that will IN
terfere with the settlement Of such
cases as the n from Minnesota that
have just noted. We are a nation
with a big N. As a nation we must
take up these subjects Of
ton. This does not mean the states
are to loose their political entity, but
the states must realize they are but a
small portion of the nation"
Because the people Of Minnesota are
IN control Of three water sheds, the
speaker said, 1t does not follow the
people Of Minnesota can control them
The same thing is true of the fuel sup
ply and of lumber.
Simply because the people Of Penn,
sylvania were unwise in caring fol
their fuel supply, it does not follow
that the people Of the United States
should be unwise in caring for the
fuel supply in the West and even in
Alaska. The man who steals public
property, he said, is the same as the
man who steals private property. I'm.
der the old order Of things it was con.
sidered proper to exploit the public
domain. The same thing is true of the
cattle ranges and the old cattle men
naturally resent what has come to bs.

IMPROVE IN ELECTRIC AGE
Use OF Steam Power Held Responsible
for Industrial Life Evils In
Italy.

Milan.-Prof. Enrico Ferri, Lom-
broso's most illustrious disciple in
criminal anthropology, attributes the
growth Of child crime in Italy to
steam.
Discussing modern industrialism In
relation to the phenomenon of youthful
crime, he expressed conviction that
the breaking up of family life, de-
generacy In male physique, engulfment
of women and children in white
slavery and other evils, were traceable
to the use Of steam power.
This appalling state of things, he
said, was destined to disappear with
the coming reign of electricity, which
would be universal, when, as science
foresaw 1t. man had discovered how to
convert the heat of the sun by direct
mean into electrical energy. He
stated that already in parts of the
United States and Belgium sewing
machine work In factories had been
abolished, and women were able to
work shorter hours in their own
homes with machines driven by cleo.
tricity.
Within a few years, he said, progress
sive government would be able to
shorten the working time of those EN-.
ployed In industrial occupations and.
what was still more imperative, from
a chronological standpoint, to abolish
night work.
