Miss Hedvig af Petersens, Swedish
Journalist. lecturer, student, and mem
Der of the nobility, will speak at Au-
gustana college next Friday evening
under the auspices of the lyceum.
Miss Petersens is making a tour of the
United States investigating and writ
ing of the condition of the Swedish
American people. Miss Petersens was
induced to stop for a day in Rock Is
land while enroute from Chicago to
minneapolis. She expects great things,
she says, from those of her country
men who have become naturalized cit
liens of the United States. Her lee
ture here will be on Selma Lagoles,
the celebrated writer who won the
Stockholm literary prize last year.
Have you been able to determine
yet" she was asked, what the influ-
ence of America is on Swedish people
who come here?"
Brings Out Best.
Yes. 1t is wonderful the way your
country brings out all that is best in
my people. America seems to have the
faculty of combining its own fine. en-
ergetic. enthusiastic, youthful qualities
with the worthiest qualities of its i'm
migrants. No wonder you are building
up such a strong. vigorous country.

of mine in eastern universities and
they are getting along splendidly,

never been accused of lacking intel

What do you think will be the in
fluence of the Swedish on the culture
of the United States?"
Sweden Natural Home of Poetry.
well, it has always seemed to me
that Sweden is the natural home of
poetry. We have two poets there now
who are expressing perfectly the life
of the nation. They are not crying,
oh. Sweden is the greatest country in
the world, or anything like that, you
understand. They are giving real
pictures of all that is best in us and
all that is worst in us 1t is a poets
business not to think. but to sing, and
that is what they are doing.
Now it seems to me that in the
third or fourth generation some of the
Swedish people who have come to be
citizens of your land will be poets.
They may help to build up a national
literature here Certainly they will
add to the idealism of the country, for

The report of the majority of the

nothing to the literature of present

Another illustration of the close
relation of import duties to the price

Washington. June 29.-The plan
cts have not left their regular orbits!
When the special senate committee
started its investigation CD into the
increased cost of living in the United
States, | stated that unless the sun
moon and stars turned green. and the
planets deserted their regular paths,
the committee would find" that in
creased prices were not in any shape,
form or manner, due to our protective
system.
This prediction has been fulfilled.
The report of the committee has been
announced by Chairman Lodge, who
asserted that the ultimate consumer
is a myth.
The report traces the increased
prices to fifteen different sources.
The public can take its choice of this
job lot of explanations The com
mittee is willing to charge high prices
to most anything save one-the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law,
The investigation was a farce from
beginning to end. Witnesses before
the committee who suggested that the
tarlfi might be blamable for increased
prices were brow-beaten and grilled.
Increased cost of living is the most
vital question before the American
people. Many are beginning to un-
derstand the causes. A pretended in
vestigation by a committee of the
senate, and an effort to divert atten-
ton from legislative outrages, car
ried out with flippancy and cold
blooded Indifference to the welfare
of the public, ought to be and will be
resented by the thinking people of
the country.
The report was obviously made for
use in the approaching campaign.
After mentioning every conceivable
thing which might tend to increase
the cost of living, the republican ma
jority of the committee reached the
conclusion that the tariff had been
mo material factor in causing the

HAT REVEALS SECRET OF
WEDDING TO A PRINCE

Paris, June 29.-Mme. Lane de
Pougy, who is now a real princess, is
an actress who more than any other,
except perhaps Hammerstein's latest
acquisition, Mile. Polaire. manages to
get herself talked about in Paris pa
pers. This week she became the
bride of Prince George Ghika.
II all came about through a colos-
sal hat worn by Nine. Pougy on the
streets of st. Germain-a fashionable
suburb of Paris-and when, as was
previously cabled, the prince gallant
ly resented the comments of some
normally dressed women their hus-
bands took up the quarrel and punch
ed the nose of Nine. Pougys princely
escort until he appealed to the police.
1t was through the recounter that
the attachments of the prince for the
actress was made public although
their intimate friends had known of
it for a long time. Their romance
having been made public, the two de-
cided that there was no reason for
postponing the marriage
The actress has figured i'm many
sensational episodes, the most notable
of which took place about fifteen
years ago, when Paris was startled
by the announcement that she had
attempted TO end her life with poison,
the result of an unhappy love affair
with Aeilhac. a well known librettist
and dramatist, who had given to the
world the first version of The Merry
Widow" He was then devoted to
