When governmental. economic or
other conditions become intDlcrahic
y has 5seH She custom of propic t1
flag to their w5atl and change thrur.
Under. these conditions they usually
pick out All the regulations Wbjeh
they think utopian at the time ami
ombody them ia q constitution n Is
such q constitution which the United
States has. and II Is nos becoming
quite venerable.
Every nov and then the country
want 20 do something and discovers
10 its dismay that the venerable cCai-
stitutlon does not permit Il. and i'm
nediately there arises In the minds
of the people tho conclusion that
there must be something horribl,
about the new proposition II the con-
siitution does not permit It, because
the constitution Is venerable.
II Is so with other established
customs which have In their way be
come as venerable as the constiti-
ton OF the United States. These ven
cradle Institutions have beer particu-
larly distressing TO those who have
attempted to advance the sciences.
As a result. those who wish to ad-
vance must not only establish the
merit of their own proposition. but
uproot the venerable institution or
lack of institution or nere-
tofore existing. Humanity has
an abiding faith that it may some day
get In front OF its nose. Just what
would happen in rhe event of such
an athletic improbability humanity
does not know. II never seems to oc-
cur 10 humanity. however, that tho
natural thing would be simply for
humanity to find itself reversed and
going IN the opposite direction until
1t met itself. after which progress
would again be resumed. Any such
catastrophe as this is avoided BY
close alliance with venerable i~nstitu-
lions which are from twenty-five 10
one thousand years behind the pre-.
ent.
Thus each change to meet the aX
~igencies and e~xpediences of the pres
ent Is accomplished only after a great
deal of energy has been expended IN
grating against that which is ven A.
able. Thomas A. Edison says the re
duction of friction is one of the
Edison IL correct, whether the ma
chlnery be electrical or some other
kind.-San Antonio Express.

MuTINY ON lake CRAFT.
Sailors Terrerize Young Women Rel
atiyes of steel Trust Offials.

Chicago, August 5.-During a
special trip from Duluth to Gary
Ind, with five young women rela-
tives of officers of the United States
Steel corporation on board, the crew
Of the ore steamer Douglas Hough-
ton mutined early Wednesday off the
Chicago harbor, and it took
Captain John Parke one hour with
a revolver to quell the mutineers. IT
is said that the mutiny started be
cause a deck hand had been locked
in the ships brig for peeping through
a cabin window at the women pas
sengers.
A two weeks trip was all but
over when the crew, led by Pet y
Peterson, freed the prisoner and mu-
tinted. The sailors later rebelled
because extra pay had been withheld.
The sailors were all discharged on
reaching Gary.
The young women, Cecilia Kirk,
Cleo McClusky, Louise Maxwell
Edith Anderson and Mrs. Louise
Maxwell, fled to their cabins and re-
manned there in terror until Captain
Parke, with leveled weapon, had
forced the less obstreperous sailors
to lock up the ~ringleaders and clear
away the broken furniture. Captain
Parke says he will prefer charges
against the men.

ST. PAUL TO GUARO ROOSEVELT
FORMER President WI ~ Carefully
t.uartlrai tag %f'aiie" at ii'e Ma
tional Conservation Meet.

81. Paul. MINI. August when
Theodore Roosevelt arrives in st.
Paul on September 5th, to speak at
the second National Conservation
Congress. he will DE guarded by the
police rs carefully as he would be If
he were still president, Every pre-
caution viii be taken to see that he
Is fully protected from the crowd
hat viii he near him all the time
during his stay in the city.
As president, Col. Roosevelt III
ways was under the eyes of at least
four secret service men whenever ne
was surrounded by Il crowd, He dill
not like the idea of being guarded
and used to try to avoid it, but the
keen-eyed sleuths stuck closely to
him and were ever alert for his safe
ty. Now that he is a private citizen,
he does not have this body guard
and it falls TO the lot of the police Of
the cities he visits to furnish proper
protection.
Following a conference with mem
bers of the local comAnittee on ar
raugements, Chief of Police John j..
O'Connor of st. Paul began working
on "A plan which, when perfected, viii
result in Col. Roosevelt being under
the care of the guardians of the Law
from the minute he steps into 81.
Paul until the minute he leaves the
city. The best men on the city's force
will be on hand all the time. They
will not be in evidence as they VIII
be in citizens clothes, but it will 4e
their duty to see that there is a clear
passage for the former president.
These precautions are not taken with
any thought of danger of attack on
Col. Roosevelt, who is a favorite in
st. Paul. but there are always peo-
pie in great crowds who want to
shake the hand of the former pTesi-
dent. There are others who would
have a word or two with him on some
subject or other. Should he stop tes.
seconds with each of these, there
would be little time left for him to
speak and attend the functions plan
ned for him.
Upon his arrival in St. Paul, Col.
Roosevelt will be met at the Union
Station by Governor Eberhart, as
many of the governors Of other states
as have arrived, cabinet members,
Clifford Pinchot, the reception com,
mittee of the National Conservation
Congress and the welcoming commit
tee. composed of members of ST.
Paul's commercial and civic organi-
cations.
While these dignitaries and organ
izations will attract attention, tn.
center of interest will be in he orr
ginal Roosevelt club, a ST. Paul or
ganization which is known all over
the country. Every member of the
club has promised to be present to
welcome the former chief executive
and act as his escort wherever he
goes.
The plans as nov made include a
visit by Col. Roosevelt to the Minna-
sofa State Fair grounds where &c
will make a brief speech. Then he
will return to the new st. Paul hotel,
where a suite will have been special
ly prepared for him. In the after
noon he will deliver the main speech
ium. After he has delivered his vi
| dress Col. Roosevelt will return to
the st. Paul hotel, where, if prese1 ut
| plans are carried out, an informal
reception will be held. In the eve l.
ing he will depart for Milwaukee.
