CORPORATIONS RULE


Corporations are responsible for
most of the frauds in all of the
city elections throughout the
country. Franchises worth thou.
sands and millions of dollars are,
as rule, at the bottom of corrup-
ton at the ballot box. In Denver
the plum striven for by the water
power company was franchise
estimated to be worth $3O,OOO,OOO
to $4O,OOO,OOO.
The Times estimates that more
than 81, 100000 was spent to gain
this much coveted prize, and in
its issue Ct Tuesday, says:
"All offices at city hall are closed
today and business is at an absolute
standstill. Every man holding an
office or position under the present
city administration is held person.
ally responsible for his precinct
and they are all busy today in
their efforts to see that large
party vote is polled in their respec-
tive wards and precincts.
"Never in the history of Denver
has n corporation gone to the
lengths to which the water COM
pany is going today. The COM
pany figures that million and a
half dollars is cheap for a franchise
that is worth from S3O,OOO,O 900 to
100000, and, therefore, it is
determined to buy it at this price.
at was no uncommon sight to
see the horde of agents in the en-
ployment of the water company
making n house to- house canvass
to buy votes. In some places they
were repudiated, but in many they
met with success. The usual price
per vote was $40, but in some in
stances as high as $50 was paid,
while reports had it that the vote
of family of three was purchased
for 500.

Every man who has his eyes open

While the Swedish gymnastics are
considered corrective. the German
gymnastics are recreatiye Floor
work Will usually last % minutes
for each class The rest of the As
minute period. after a brief rest, will
be given over to folk and fancy
dances and gymanstic games. 1t is
significant that more md more at
tention is being given 10 folk dane
ing in present day schools. Dr.
Luther H. Gulick. head of the de-
partment of physical education in
New York City, has just written a
book, THE Philosophy Of Dancing"
in which he shows very clearly the
educational value of folk dances.
Swimming, dodge ball, basket ball
and hockey will constitute the in
formal side of physical education.
The swimming pool will be open
to the young women twice a week
and to the young men, also, twice
week. The young women students
will organize class teams in basket
ball No normal team of young
women, however, will be permitted
to play matches with other schools
The normal school will be, however,
ro0rosented by team consisting
solely of young men, A strong
s,ne.ule has already been arranged.
The hockey field will adjoin the
gymnasium on the east. Games
will be played in the early spring.
The young women expect to have
strong team this year.
The completion of the gymnasium
marks another step forward in the
development of the Lewiston state
normal school The students there
will now have ideal facilities for ex-
ercise and the playing of indoor
games, such as basket ball, indoor
tennis and base ball.
Speaking of the new gymnasium,
President Black said today:
1T is our purpose to give every
young man and young women in the
school proper physical training. The
old saying A sound mind in a sound
body. is one i'm which we thoroughly
believe. Our new gymnasium is not
to be used for the purpose of de-
yeioping track sprinters nor athletes.
but to give every student an all
round physical development It is
our purpose. too, to introduce here
a normal course in play, the same
course which has received the APP
proyal of the American Playground
association. of which Jacob Reese Of
New York is the honorary president
and DR. Guilck of the New York
City schools, acting president.
