He rested we'll last night" says
Chicago dispatch describing the con
dition of Hackensmidt after his match
with Gotch.
HE rested well last night says a
dispatch from Chesterfield describing
the condition of Henry Clay Beattie
after a sentence Of death had been
pronounced upon him.
Here Is study for some mental
scientist. Hackenschmidt, a physical
giant, trained to fierce encounter in
tie arena suffers a mental collapse
on the eve of his great match, cannot
sleep and is restless as a child with
the collie.
Henry Clay Beattie, pampered
child of fortune, delicate and frail,
goes through the ordeal of a public
trial like q stole, hears the sentence
of death pronounced without tremor,
and after it is over lays down and
sleeps.
Both men rest we'll after the climax,
but what difference in the way sus-
pense Is borne! There is an explana-
ton for these conditions, but it has
not yet been found.

ly enforced by hotel inspectors en-
ployed by the state. I used to jeer at
the idea of 9'foot sheets but since my
late trip must say that the statute
IS good one. There is only one i'm
provement I could suggest and this
is to make it an offense for hotels to
use bed clothing which cannot be regu.

be used on bed in public use. The
bed clothing should consist of sheets,
blankets and spreads and there should
be a law requiring inn keepers to
dress their beds with clean clothing
with every change of guest. l am
going to call the attention of the
North Dakota Commercial Travellers
association to this matter and see if
scme law cannot be enacted at the
next meeting of the legislature. If
there is additional expense entailed

reactionaries in North Dakota politics
for the past ten years, distorting the
facts and concealing conditions with
the sole purpose of deception. If it
is necessary to apply the knife I am
not in favor of upholstering the blade.
