AN UPLIFTING IDEAL
Chicago Editor Declares There Is
Something About Esperanto
Which Inspires Devotion.

Heaven has been kind to Esperan-
60, the international language idea, and
has guarded it against the patronage Of
wealthy benefactors," says Arthur Ba-
ker. the Chicago editor, who is to lee
ture about it under the management OF
the Salt Lake Esperanto group on
Thursday, February 10, at p. m, at
room 232 Commercial club building
We have something far better than
that-the unselish, persistent, some
times even heroic, devotion which
counts for more than money.
There is something inspiring about
the Esperanto idea for anybody pos
sessing the rudiments Of imagination or
the capacity of enthusiasm. Here YOU
have a world of supposedly intelligent
human beings spending enough Of their
energies fighting and killing OF in pre-
pairing to fight and kill each other, to
abolish poverty and root out many Of
the diseases and crimes Of which II is
the source. Even when such an epoch
making invention as the aeTOplane ap-
pears, so Obsessed are we with this idea
of slaughter that we discuss them prin-
cipally as a new weapon for teTrOrizing
our neighbors.
Into this tense atmosphere Of sus-
piciOn and race hatred comes ESperan-
tO-a simple language which the Tor
eigner' is learning by millions, and ac-
cOrding to the idealist, with a common
language we lose this murderous sus-
piciOn OF our fellOw-being. So far as
the EspeTantists themselves are con-
cerned this language is not only an
ideal, but a thing of everyday utility.
Your neighbOr who knows it can have
correspondents or agents or friends in
any country of the world. He can ac-
cept commission from business houses
in Germany, Russia or F ance. He can
visit any city Of Europe and find plenty
of friends who speak this language, and
are bound to him by the ties of a mu-
tual ideal
yes. call it a hobby-the name does
not matter Call it fad if you wish,
but take the pains to examine this fad.
If you can get your boy and girl to take
up an Esperanto book, study it at home
for a few evenings. and correspond
with other young people all over the
world. you will find them suddenly Dos
sessed of a wider outlook and broader
mental culture than they would have
attained from a year at the best uni
versity in America"

The Michigan legislature makes an

or anything Of selling value to devote
to road purposes. And after all we
should bear in mind the fact that per-

DDS Of crime could not get fair trial
in four days-if he had means. We
might convict q tramp or friendless
person in that time but never one
whose financial status gave him power
to pay the active agents OF delay. And
after conviction and sentence for re-
voting and brutal murder we would
hold off execution twelve months in
Iowa.
But is there any good reason why,
when both sides are ready for trial, or
have had time to prepare for trial. that
criminal case should not be tried
fairly in four days: Is there any good
reason for three months active deliber-
alton on case like that which followed
should case go up and down thru the
courts like that of Busseo And when
conviction is had and sentence imposed
for what reason do we keep brute like

the law, of course. but what is the

"H,cHER UPS" INVOLVED.
Names Of Prominent Men Brought Into
Alaskan Coal Frauds

Spokane, Wash.-Men whose names
stand high in national, state and
city government were today dragged
into the limelight as the result Of ex-
posures made to the federal grand jury
here, which is now digging into the
frauds thru which 1t is believed the
government has been swindled out Of
5000, 900 900 coal lands in Alaska.
Indictments were brought against six
men who are said to be the controlling
factors in the three groups Of coal
lands in the Kayak mining district.
Each group represents 131 claims Of
100 acres each.
Among those whose names are said
10 be involved as assignees OF one or
more of the claims and whose names
are now brought out a. parties to the
frauds are:
John H McGraw, former governor Of
Washington. (died last july.
Governor James *. Gille.t, Cai!tor-
mia.
Congressman McLachlin California,
Henry T. oxnard. president OF the
American Beet Sugar Company.
Harry White, former mayor Of Seat
tie.
The six men who were indicted and
whose indictments involved the names
of Governor Gillett and Congressman
Lachlin are:
Harry White.
Raymond Brown. Spokane.
William L. Dunn. Spokane.
Charles F. Doughton. Seattle
Charles A. Mckenzie. Seattle.
Donald A Mackenzie, Washington,
D. c.
What the Law States.
The jury charged in its indictments
that the six men who are being held
had made agreements with the claim
ants for more than their legal share in
the division OF the claims awarded. II
was shown by the witnesses that half
OF the interests in all the claims that
were involved in the cases OF these six
men had been retained. This, accord
ing TO the federal statutes. Is more
than the legitimate share
The prominence Of the names IN
volved created q sensation here. as Il
has been predicted that the names Of
the men who were really the zones
higher up would never come out In
court. The northwest and tho west
coast are now wondering whether the
grand Jury OF Spokane will take still
further radical steps in ITS recoTnmen-
cations.

LOWER MEAT PRICES.

Cudahy. the Chicago packer. .ha, lower
meat prices are in sight. and not only
i CudahE IN position 70 judge of
the situation. out he has something Of
a record : torecaster on such sub
jects. He predicted ,he late upward
movement al time when others were
of opinion that prices had risen as high
as they could and would either recede
or remain a. a standstill
The factor upon which Mr.. Cudahy
depends for lower prices of beef and
pork in this country is the low price OF
wheat and corn. Last year grain prices
were soaring. II did not pay farmers
eat its head off" Sheep and hogs and
cattle were sold because it did not pay
50 we'll to keep and fatten them as to
sell them and also sell the high priced
grain which they would have con-
sumed if kept on the farm. Now that,
for the time being, Russian wheat has
taken the place Of American wheat in
the markets Of western Europe, there
is a reduction OF grain prices in the
American market, which will make it
more profitable to the American farmer
to convert much Of his surplus grain
into meat and sell 1t in that form than
to dispose of it directly.
That seems to be good reasoning.
The relation of grain prices to meat
prices, Is or at least ought to be, very
intimate. II must be remembered,
however. that grain prices are still ro-
bust. and any decline In meat prices

sidered IL not likely to be at oil sweep

INSANE GIRL PENS PRIZE POEM
Young Woman Of Is Years Receives
$3.50 For Verses.

S25o For Verses.
St Paul, Mtnn.-Minnesota has a poet,
or rather a poetess, who has achieved
a measure Of fame and fortune despite
the fact that for sixteen years she has
been an inmate OF a state hospital for
the insane.
Some time ago a magazine offered
prize for the best literary contribution
to be submitted within a certain time.
The winner was to be presented with
free transportation TO Europe and re-
turn.
Among those who entered the contest
was woman, a member OF q wei
known Minnesota family. So excellent
was her effort considered that the prize
was awarded to her.
When the editors Of the magazine
learned who she was, and that because
Of environments she would be unable
to take advantage Of the prize she had
won, they sent her a check Tor $3.50.
The woman was placed first In the
hospital at Rochester on May 8, 1894.
In 1907 she WAS removed with other
patients to Hastings, and on May II.
1909. again was transferred, this time
to Anoka, where she still is held.
