five years of teaching service seems to
jar on his fellow rival for the presi-

gagged in gathering all sorts of opin-
ions. chiefly those OF sharp criticism
and distributing them.
The fact that Governor Wilson asked
for the money, and of all things from
a fund given by Carnegie, is held up
as the sad, depressing feature. That
the Carnegie trustees took a different
view and declined to indorse Wilson's
application is treated lightly The
query is pressed home: How can any
man expect To figure as a real, un-
trammeled radical when he asks for
Carnegie dollars? II is a specious way
of presenting the problem, but it has
an element which. If repeated often
enough between now and March, will
prove what a dangerous assailant and
ingenious radical Mr.. Hearst Is.

Austin stands to man against the
suggestion that it may be necessary to
put the torch to her ruins. Feeling
runs high, and should the health au-
thorities be forced to this extremity
there is no foretelling the result. The
Pennsylvania state constabulary holds
the town in its grasp, however. and the
troopers will remain here until Com
missioner Dixon gives them the word
to depart.
The flood swept valley offers no
shelter for the laborers expected here
today. and unless they come in bunk
cars they can not be cared for. Eight
homeless men slept last night on the
floor of house spared by the waters:
two women and five children, all refu-
gees. slept in the room above them,
while the household Of five huddled in
to two remaining rooms. This is but
typical of conditions everywhere in the
flood zone.
Food and clothing reached Austin in
carload lots yesterday. and there was
enough to eat for all. The distributing
agents lacked shoes and under gar
metns for the women and children,
however. These were ordered by tel
egraph and should arrive today.
