PlASS is ON TRIAL
Former President of Washburn
Before Federal Court.
Charge Is Using the Mails for
Fraudulent Purposes.
BOOKS IN EVIDENCE.
Government Shows Organization
of Investment Company.
Will Try to Prove 1t Was Looted
by Officers.

Boston, June 1.-The trial of Rev.
Norman Plass, former president OF the
Redeema BILE Investment company to-
day was reiteration of the first days
proceedings. An attempt is being made
to prove that he used the mails for
fraudulent purposes. John /. Trap
hagen and Charles H. Brooks, also Off
GERS of the company are also charged
with using the mails to defraud.
Chester H. Krum, of st. Louis, was of
counsel for the three men. The suit
is in the United States district court.
The defendants formerly did business
under the name of the "Redeemable
Investment company" DR.. Plass for
several years was president of Wash
burn college, at Topeka He was q
friend of ex-Secretary Of the Interior
Richard Ballinger, and it is alleged
tn secretarys name was used on
letter of recommendation that was sent
broadcast by the company
In his opening statement, District
Attorney French said the government
would show that the redemption fund
$4,000 and that beginning March 81,
1910, the three defendants began to
plumber it by manipulating the books
and making false entries.
Mr.. French said by the time the
complaint was made and the defend
ants arrested, the funds had dwindled
down to practically nothing.
Harry Davis, secretary of the Della
ware Trust company OIL
told how his concern organized the
Redeemable company, under the laws
of Delaware, and H. A. Bingham of
New York identified the Redeemable
company's stock ledger and stock
transfer books, which are to be used
further on in the trial.
Rev. J. Spencer VOORHEES, was about
to tell his story of his dealings with
the Rev Norman Plass when court adj
journed. He was formerly pastor of
the Congregational church at Adams,
Mass, which post he gave up to be-
come a stock salesman for the Re-
deemable company. position he oc-
cupied for four months. He identified
a letter which he said he received from
DIR. Plass in October, 1909.
Judge Krum of ST. Louis, senior
counsel for the defense. sprang sur
prise by strenuously objecting to the
admission of the certificate of incor-
poration of the Redeemable company
and other following articles of evil
dence on the ground they related to
acts performed before the statute upon
which the prosecution is based was
passed by congress. Judge Dodge over
ruled these objections.

SPLIT MENACEs
HOUSE MAJORITY
IN NEAR FUTURE
Conservatives and Progress
sives in Democratic Party.
LEADERS ARE WORRIED

That the Democratic majority in the
House is about ready to split up into
progressive and conservative wings, and
that this split will seriously embarrass
the harmony hopes of the House lead
ers, was the confident belief of a NUM-
Der of Republican progressives at the
Capitol yesterday.
Republicans of both intra-party be-
liefs have been watching the progress
of events in the Democratic camp with
ill-concealed delight for the past few
days. Yesterday they professed to see
for the near future as serious a division
in the House as developed the insurgent
wing of the Republican party into the
balance of power during the sessions of
the Sixtieth Congress.
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS NERVOUS
Not only the watchful Republicans are
aware of the condition. Democratic lead
ers have seen it coming with alarming
speed in the last few days, and while
they do not admit openly that the situa-
ton is serious, they are keeping close
watch for an opening through which, the
condition may safely be approached and
the tension lessened. Realizing that no
one thing will so improve or injure the
chances for a Democratic national VIC
tory next November as the maintenance
or shattering of the solid and harmoni-

What of the Practical Result ?

What effect will the dissolution of the
Standard Oil Company into its constitu-
lent corporations have upon the price Of
oil? This is the test that must be ap-
piled to the Sherman act before any
definite conclusion as to its efficiency
can be drawn.
The ultimate object of all past anti
trust legislation has been to re-estab-
lish competition thus establishing a
natural price in commodities. That the
present prices of Standard Oil products
are none too low is oonclusively proven
by the enormous dividends paid on the
company's securities. II the dissolu-
ton ot the oil trust under the Sherman
act results IN a material reduction in
the prices of the former trusts products
/. the efficiency of the act in an important
application viii be conclusively DEM
onstrated, and its friends viii have cause
to rejoice. If, on the other hand, no
such reductions result, it win be quite
evident that something is wrong with
the practical working of the act.
The Sherman act can go no further
than to dissolve a trust that comes
under its provisions The Standard Oil
corporation has suffered this extreme
penalty, and If this does not bring about
the object Of the law in securing a
natural adjustment in the prices Of the

When the Governors Arrive.

IIastcning toward Washington in d
special train. but unfortunately delaying
their arrival by stops along the way.
some eight or ten governors of West
ern States are all unconscious of the
grca; Joy which awaits mem here They
may have eaten t'rrkey in Detroit and
gazed upon Lake Erie at Cleveland
and they may have brcakfasted with Mr.
Hearst upon Riverside Drive, but the
recollection of all these things will fade
away when they reach Washington.
For here in the National Capital.
where Justice is dispensed by black
ROBBED dignitaries, and the President
guides the ship of state. the governors
are to fall into the hands of a commit
tee that will equal in personal pulchri-
tude and geniality of temperament any
aggregation of Western humanity ever
born. There will be Commissioner Ru-
dolph, who can crate in English, Ger
man, Italian, French, and Sanscrit with
equal facility; and Thomas c. Moves,
who can talk baseball in every language,
ancient and modern; and William F.
Guide, whose Stalwart form is symbolic
OF Washingtons greatness; and James
F. Oyster and Ralph w Lee, men
whose ample girth bespcaks the genial
soul and merry Wit to tickle the gu
bernatoriai sense OF humor Surely in
She hands Of this quintet the honor and
the hospitality of Washington are more
than safe. An hour spent in such COM
pany is better than an evening at the
White House or a score of entertain
nients- in other towns.
We envy the governors the treat they
have in store. We only fear that after
they have been in such good hands they
will not want to leave.

As a Help to Happy Homes.

When the pedagogues of the Los
Angeles high school, which has estab-
lished course in courtship and matri-
mony, made up the curriculum for the
new branch of study they had a hard
task before them and did fairly well,
considering that most of them probably
had no experience in the bonds of mat
rimony. We learn from Los Angeles
papers that after completing thorough
course in the gentle art of wooing the
young people will be instructed in
household management, home dietetics,
dressmaking, millinery, and the care
of babies.
We trust that the school authori-
ties will accept in proper spirit some
suggestions. In the first place, we
would recommend, in connection. with
general instruction in the care of in
fants, a special course upon the man
agenent of babies during the wee sma'
hours of the night. A baby is thing
of beauty and a joy forever" in the
daytime, but during the night its con-
duct is frequently beyond human under
standing. This is due to strictly nat
ural causes, but it drives men to drink,
wrecks happy homes, and wears out
miles of perfectly good carpet Science
has succeeded in Harvesting Niagara,
conquering the air, and empowering
the most deadly germs. We hope that
it will in time discover method for
quoting the disturbing demonstrations
of crying baby during the hours of
darkness. We have no suggestions to
offer. We have tried everything. and
have miserably failed.
Another course that might advan
tageously be added is one on making
biscuits and pie like mother used to
make" The inability of the modern
housewife to perform creditably in this
important branch of the culinary art
is said TO have caused much domestic
unhappineSs The American husband
as a class demands that his pies and
biscuits shall be like mother used to
make" and when this has been achieved
sure road to his, affections has been
gained. OF course, different mothers
make pie and biscuits in different ways,
but little thing like this shall be no
obstacle to an ideal, and it is quite
possible that a satisfactory standard
can be evolved in time.

CampaiEning in Georgia.

Judge Richard B. Russell has embarked
upon one of the most remarkable speak
ing tours ever framed up for candidate
for the governorship in Georgia.
Leaving cambridge in an automobile,
Judge Russell has covered Baker Mitch
ell, Grady, and Early counties, making
from two TO three speeches each day.
At Judge Russelrs campaign head
quarters great satisfaction was express
ed at the result of these whirlwind speak
ing tours The more speeches the judge
has to deliver in one day, the more er-
fective those speeches are, his campaign
manager claims. From this date until
the conclusion OF the campaign, winding
up with an address in his home county
the night before the election, Judge Rus
sell will be speaking from two to five
times each day. In short, he expects to
deliver within the ten days about forty
campaign speeches
In speaking of this matter, James b.
Nevin, Judge Russelrs campaign mana
ger, said:
Judge Richard B. Russell is a per-
feet glutton for work. I never before
came in contact politically with man
so full of energy. I cannot give him
enough speaking dates to satisfy him.
He delights to meet the people face to
lace anu pIedu MS O"A NauSc' IL AS hoN
the time, l do net believe he would con-
sent that a single speaking date be
filled by any other speaker than himself.
He expressly stipulated in the begin
ming Of his campaign, that his campaign
work must not be allowed to conflict with
his judicial duties, and were 1t not for
the fact that he assumed this undoubt-
eddy correct attitude with respect to that,
l do not believe there is county in
Georgia in which he would not have de-
livered at least two or more speeches"

Politics and Right Doing.

No one will question for a moment
the Presidents frank declaration that
political considerations do not weigh
heavily upon him. 81 have tried" he
says, ito do in each case what seemed to
me the wisest thing, regardless of its
effect upon my own future"
Men may differ as to the wisdom of
. the Presidents actions or as to the ex-
cellence of his judgment, but no one
can deny his honesty, his fairness, his
utter contempt for all that tends to
lower the high standard of human con-
duct. If anything, he is too frank. He
is willing 20 acknowledge his own err
rors when other men would avoid con-
fession or attempt justification. He has
dealt openly and fairly with the people,
and his very actions have demonstrated
the truth of his statements that he has
not weighed the effect Of those actions
upon his own political career. His
frank and open nature takes the whole
world into his confidence. He has the
very 1ntithcsis of cold and calculating
mind
No one who possesses the slightest
knowledge of the Presidents character
would believe that he would depart
from the line Of duty in order to secure
a personal advantage Whatever else
may be said, the country will give him
full measure OF approval in this re-
gard. I. is but natural for him, under
the circumstl ices. to say that his re-
election Won. give him great satisfac-
ton; il is equally characteristic of him
l. add that il he is retired to private
life he will have no heartburnings The
consciousness OF rcctitude is with him.
This feeling. which the whole country
knows has ample foundation, is his har-
Dor OF refuge when the storms OF poll
:iCs arise
