GOOD LANGUAGE.

A very valuable habit for family to
else language. AS matter of art.
such an acquisition is desirable. There
are beauty and grace in the very form
OF language correctly and concisely
spoken. There is a charm in the speak
er who is careful of his manner of
speech. But far more important than
the beauty of correct speech is the in
tellectual vigor which it Stimulates and
promotes. The use of good language
encourages the habit of clear thinking.
Speaking well and thinking well natu-
rally go together. The intellectual
process largely controls the manner Of
expression. This does not commend
tE9 use of stilted and pompous lam
guage, for that can be, and sometimes
is used, to conceal the lack of thought.
Our object is to discourage mussy, in.
coherent, scrappy and slangy speech,
because 1t tends to ruin the mind and
morals, too. People who use such Ian
guage have confused ideas and lack an
appreciation of what is true and beau
tiful. There is nothing more serv-
iceable in making good clean men and
women out of the children, than
household habit of clear and concise
expression. 1t promotes not only think
ing, but thoughtfulness, and thought
fulness is one of the greatst virtues
of home. But make exact and prop
er speech one of the institutions of
the home and 1t will remove from the
heart many anxieties for the future
OF the child.

HOLD UP PIONEER EXPRESS
Two Bandits Cut Air-Brake Hose and
Fight Conductor-No Money
Is Obtained.

st. Paul, Minn.-Two masked ban
dts made an unsuccessful attempt to
hold up and rob the Pioneer limited
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad as it sped through
the picturesque region of southwest
ern Wisconsin.
Conductor A. P. Shumway of Mil
waukee, in charge of the train, was
confronted on the platform of the
sleeping car Ontonagon by the two
robbers, who demanded that he signal
the train to stop, then throw up his
hands. He struck one of the men
down with his lantern and retreated
into the sleeping car. The bandits
had cut the air hose of the train,
stopping it, and they escaped.
A few hours later two colored men
were taken into custody in La Crosse,
Wis, on suspicion of being the ban
dts. They were heavily armed, but
denied completely in the hold-up. They
refused to give their names.

THE ROAD TO POPULARITY
Recipe Has Been in Use Many Years
But 1t Is Not Always Safe to
Trust 1t.

'The way to be popular has been ex-
planned by one of the marshmallow
magazines which initiates itself with
the idea that it is directing modern
life. when you shake hands with
man." runs the recipe, grasp the
hand as though you were glad to see
the owner, look him in the eye, and
give him a smile from your heart"
This is a sure-enough recipe. 1t
has been worked by some of the great
est frauds in Christendom to subserve
their own ends. The man who is
seeking popularity, posing for it,
angling for it, usually doesn't deserve
it. Keep your admiration for men
who show you their real selves, who,
when they are bothered or worried,
or mad, or glad, make it manifest by
appropriate facial expression, and
who are not constantly standing them
selves before the mirror.

ROOSEVELT ITALIAN CITIZEN
Accepts Honor Conferred Upon Him
by the Mayor of Historic Port
Maurizio.

Porto Maurizio.-Ex-P PRESIDENT oose-
welt opened new boulevard
which has been named after him
and accepted honorary citizenship
of the ancient and historic city of
Porto Maurizio amid repetition of
the same popular enthusiasm which
marked his arrival.
According to those who have long
memories, never before have local,
political, religious and all other diff
ferences been so completely obliter-
ated as upon this occasion.
The carriage containing Mr.. and
Mrs. Roosevelt and the mayor was
pelted with nosegays tied with rib
bons, bearing the words, Long Live
Roosevelt" as they traversed the
cheering town, until it was overflow
ing with flowers.
Dead walls were covered with post
ers bearing such inscriptions as
Roosevelt forever" Long live Roose-
velt," and similar expressions of re-
gard.
The municipal council, at a special
meeting, decided to confer the title on
Mr.. Roosevelt of Honorary citizen"
and to name the new shore drive,
which is now under construction and
is the pride of the town, Roosevelt
boulevard"

ORDER BUTTER TRUST PROBE
Attorney General Starts investigation
into Methods OF Elgin Board
in Fixing Prices.

Washington. Attorney General
Wickersham Thursday ordered a strict
investigation of the Elgin board with
view to prosecuting or dissolving
the organization as conspiracy III
restraint of trade, or in other words,
as the butter trust.
AS a matter of fact the Elgin body
of butter producers has been under
investigation for some time, but the
testimony of President Newman and
Vice-President Wood before the Lodge
committee forced the hand of the De-
partment of Justice and the open ord
er for an investigation was given.
Both Mr.. Newman and Mr.. Wood
testified that while the prices are con-
trolled by New York, the board at
Elgin does actually fix each Monday
the price that is to be paid for but
ter for the entire week. AS they also
testified that within the Elgin dis
trict are the southern tier of counties
of Wisconsin, the eastern tier OF
Iowa and all of Illinois, and further
that practically all the butter in
which the board deals is shipped east.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DEFIANT
Defends Administration Acts-Says
Pledges Are Fulfilled to Presi-
dents Limit.

Chicago.-George w. Wickersham,
attorney general of the United States,
speaking for his chief, William How
ard Taft, Saturday presented to the
Hamilton club of Chicago a compre-
hensive, defiant defense of the pres
ent administration.
And he concluded with the following
warning or appeal that reminded many
of those at the banquet of the scrip
tural words: "He who is not with me,
is against me-"
Il speak to an assembly of loyal Re-
publicans | am sure I voice your
thought when | say the time of run
ming with the hare and hunting with
the hounds is over and every one must
choose whether or not he is for the
president and the Republican party.
He that hath no stomach to the fight
let him depart. Treason has ever con-
sisted in giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. If anyone wishes to join the
Democratic party let him do so. But
let him not claim to be Republican
and in and out of season week to de-
feat Republican measures ana to sub
vert the influence of the Republican
president"
All blame for non-fulfillment of
pledges he placed on congress, to
which he said, President Taft had
caused to be submitted the bills en-
bodying the promised legislation.
And tracing the blame still farther
he found that if the bills failed to pass
congress it would be due to the action
of the Insurgents, whom he did not
hesitate to class as traitors" and
selfish obstructionists.

WANTS PARTY UNITY
TAFT IN SPEECH EXTENDS OLIVE
BRANCH TO THE INSUR-
GENTS.
"TIME FOR DOING THINGS"
President Says No Man Has Right to
Read Another Out of Republican
Fold-Demands Support for Meas
ures Pledged.

Washington.-Deter to sound
no keynote speech" President Taft
Saturday evening went to the ban
quet of the League of Republican
clubs.
He announced his determination in
his first sentence; but in the next few
moments he had enunciated a call to
party unity and a statement of his at
titude toward insurgency which
brought the diners to their feet with
yells of approval.
The president declared he had no
quarrel with the Insurgents; that he
sought to read no one out of the party,
but that he proposed to demand the
party should Judge its members by
the support they give to the party
legislation during the remaining
months of the present session of con-
gress.
This is not exactly the time for
speaking, except in the two houses OF
the national legislature" said the
president "This is the time for doing
things; the time for voting upon and
party has pledged itself
After congress has adjourned, then
is the time to form our lines of attack
against the enemy.
I'VE are reading no one out of the
Republican party. We want all OF
them within the party ranks. They
have the opportunity to establish
thoi1. oIo;yo ~ Dop,,hIioonicp hU that
which they shall do as legislators in
both houses of congress; by helping
to enact the legislation to which the
party is pledged. Old friends who in
good faith stand to the enactment of
legislation to redeem the promises the
party has made have the right to
stand forth as Republicans. If they
don't to stand with the party or help
the party to the enactment of it's leg
islation, have no quarrel with them.
They have the right to vote or speak
as they will, but we want their aid
as Republicans so long as they will
be Republicans. The Republican
party is not rigid party. We may
not all agree in our opinions upon
duu We AdNO LuS 11SAC "
express those opinions within the
party.
But when the evidence is shown
that man does not desire to support
the Republican party; when he shows
himself unwilling to redeem for the
party the pledges made to the people
by the party; when he withdraws sup
port from the party and wishes sue
cess for another party, then we have
the right to say that the label he
bears is not Republican.
mo man has the right to read an
other man out of the Republican party.
He reads himself out if he is disloyal
to the party, and if not, he can, by his
own words, show that he is loyal. So
you see it is in no defiant spirit that
am here. I want the help of all Re-
publicans, whether or not they may
in the past have slipped away little"

CATCH BANDITS IN BATTLE
THREE BANK ROBBERS SHOT BY
MARSHAL AND DOCTOR.
Blow Safe at Coal City, ILL.,, and Vain.
ly Attempt to Escape on
Freight Train.

Coal City, Ill.-The depredations OF
the James brothers were wildly
brought to mind when five bank rob-
bers fought a desperate battle with
officers and posse after they had
looted the Coal City State bank just
before daylight Thursday.
The bandits gagged and bound the
town Waterman and engineer, blew
the bank safe, boarded freight train
nered by the quick wit Of a telegraph
operator.
Three of their number were cap
tured by the posse that waylaid them.
while the other two escaped with the
booty.
The bandits were all Chicago youths.
The bandits entered the town on a
passing freight train and began OPP
erations by tying Barney Ghetto. the
night Waterman. and Washington
Erie, the night engineer Of the cleo
trical plant.
They then blew up the bank build
ing with a terrific charge of nitro
glycerin and leaped on west-bound
Santa Fe freight train with their
plumber. Three hours later three
men, believed to be of their number.
had been captured by Sheriff Thomas
Steel of Morris, ILL.,, who had been
notified by the night Waterman after
the latter had broken loose the ropes
which held him and made possible
the organization of the posse.
Just as the train carrying the five
bandits pulled out of the town, Ghetto
succeeded in cutting his bonds and
rushed to telephone and notified
Eugene Miller, the night Waterman at
Yazoo, seven miles south of Coal City.
and he, with Dr. E. d. Watts, who
happened to be at the station at that
time, lay in wait for the robbers.
Watts was armed with a repeating
shotgun, and Miller carried revolver
At Macon the train stopped to switch
cars. The bandits leaped from the
car as it stopped and hid in the dense
clumps of shrubbery which flank the
right of way.
Before the train was again in mo-
ton Miller and the physician had dis
covered three men crouching in the
bushes and opened fire. The fire was
returned and about twenty-five shots
were exchanged. The bandits then
leaped back on the train, which had
started, and escaped once more.
When at last the train came to
stop at Verona the cars were searched
by the sheriff and his men.
In an empty baggage car of the
train were found three of the bandits
All three were wounded and their
comrades had fled. 1t is believed that
they leaped off the moving train from
the side opposite the pursuing posse.

OF presidential inauguration from
March to a day late in April. in order
to avoid the risk Of inclement weather,
has ben sidetracked for the present.
There is opposition in congress on
various grounds. but one OF the most
curious is that the movement is in the
interest of tho Washingtonians. who
want chance for Showing off" under
favorable conditions. There really ia
little glory for the Washington people
in the inauguration exercises, and as
they bear the expense of the spectacu-
lar part Of the performance there
would not be any serious damage done

pants.

The immigration into the United
States in 1909 did not reach record fig
ures. the arrivals at New York, the
chief port of entry, being 771,38O,
against 1.O4O,169 in 1907, which marked
the flood tide. But the ingress of
aliens indicated that prosperity had
returned, for the ebb and flow of immi-
grafton correspond very closely to the
industrial situation in this country.
There were some unusual features in
the 1909 immigration, including the ar
rival of 1888 persons from Brazil to
locate here. Ordinarily the drift is sup
posed to be in the other direction,
Brazil being largely undeveloped and
offering notable inducements to set
tiers.

Newfoundland's Bad Record.

The Newfoundland Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis is carrying
on vigorous and necessary campaign
this year in the island. The death
rate from the disease in Newfoundland
is very large. About one in every
five of the total population dies of it,
and, what is worse, in the last six
years the death rate, which is sta
tionary or decreasing elsewhere, has
increased about so per cent. This is
due largely to the native horror of
fresh air in the house.
