tional student secretary, were the
particular bright lights of the conven-
tion- These men are indeed among
the men who are making the Y. NJ. c.
A. movement so vital and far reach
ing. Many of US have already heard
our own J. Z. Moorland, who is of
this same international committee,
and can gain some idea of what these
men have to represent
The theme of the convention was
The Y. NJ. c. A. and the Religious
Life of Men and Boys" Some of the
subjects presented by the leaders of
the convention were: Response of
Men of Today to the Call of Religion, -
Practical Y. NJ. c. A. Cooperation
with the Church" Practical Relig-
ious Methods in the Y. NJ. C. A" and
various special topics for college men
and young men generally. The speak
ers were forceful and spoke directly
to the point at issue.

We are often told that one reason why we
should not go down to the inferior things is that
they can never satisfy US. But the danger is that
they may satisfy US. boy at school may come
to like evil talk and unworthy stories When he
left home such things were unnatural and dis.
tasteful to him. but he let himself down to them
little by little until anything else is uncongenial to
him. The inferior things have come to satisfy
him. popular lecturer told recently Of having
heard one woman say to another as they came
away from an Ibsen play, II do not like Ibsen.
He takes the hope out Of life." If she spoke sin.
cereIy, 1t was only because she had brought her
self to such an unnatural philosophy. She did
not begin life with so unwholesome and untrue a
view. In the days that were real and worthy it
was hope which made life beautiful. If now she
preferred hopelessness It was because her pref.
erences had degenerated. and that had begun to
satisfy her which formerly would have been the
very depth of darkness to her.
This is the peril Of the soul's freedom. The
very capacity to rise involves the capacity to de-
scend. Just as we can go forward from any at
tainment, discontented with it, to higher things
which alone satisfy us, go we can go back.

Bio Sum Being Collected.

Columbus.-Attorney General Hogan
is now collecting delinquent Willis law
taxes at the rate of $4,000 per week.
A letter to each corporation in de-
fault, telling of the provision in the
Hollinger law for cancellation of char
ter in case of non-payment, is proving
sufficient inducement in most cases
for settlement, including back taxes
and penalties.
Last week some Willis fees, due as
far back as 1906, were paid. The fnan-
cial bureau of the department, manned
by Special Counsel Jacob Schlessin-
ger and w. A. Mcnamara, Willis law
clerk, is unearthing numerous foreign
corporations, doing business in Ohio,
who have never qualified to operate in
this state and have never paid a cent
under the Willis law. ne large con-
Germ of this sort which will have to
pay back fees is the Great Western

Uncle Sans experts devote any necessary amount
of time to nstructing these volunteers and the
Red Cross and the mine operators have shown
disposition to provide them with all the necessary

find at many mine a volunteer corps OF "hrst

their work and who can do just as much for their
entombed fellow-workmen or for miners overcome
by poisonous gases as could the experts on any

are hand to act Immediately without waiting
for the arrival of a government car. 1t Is these
volunteers who are expected to give zest to the
competitions in rescue work at the big gathering

taken up in the mines of this country only few

The Eighteenth took part in the
battle of Mission Ridge, and Joined in
the pursuit of the enemy so far as
Ringgold, Ga. It was on duty at
Huntsville, Ala, until May l, 1864,
when it joined Sherman in his great
campaign from Chattanooga to At
lanta. The Eighteenth was one of the
regiments at Altoona Pass and
helped to fight the battle bearing that
name, and it is said that no troops of
chat small force fought more valiant
ly than the Wisconsin soldiers. That
was the battle which brought out the
remark by Sherman, Hold the fort,

fought persistently for that pass, and
though the Union force was small the
enemy left 1900 killed and wounded.
The Eighteenth had some killed and
wounded here.
The Eighteenth re-enlisted, but was
unable to take advantake of the thir-
ty-day furlough until the following
November. In January, 1865, it re-
turned to Chattanooga, and in time
was sent to General Sherman's army

The Eighteenth had three different

Ruling by Secretary Graves.

Secretary of State Charles H.
Graves ruled that in election precincts
where three parties last year each had
over 10 per cent. of the total vote,
each shall have two of the six election
officers. The inquiry came from John
A. Sutton, deputy state supervisor of
elections at Findlay, where the Social
lists had the necessary vote in a pre-
cinct cited. Graves declared that the
law was clear in giving county boards
of deputy state supervisors sole power
to appoint precinct election officers,
regardless of party committee recon-
mendations, which are accepted under
an unwritten rule.
