st. Andrews University.


And how did this seat of learning
fare under the rule of the men who
had freed their country from the yoke
of Rome, which, according to them,
was the yoke of ignorance? In the
seventeenth century the numbers of
students at st. Andrews gradually
dwindled until in the eighteenth only
five remained to matriculate in a GER
tain year. 1t is due largely to the
munificence of an American Scot, Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, that the fortunes
of the university have again begun
to flow, for there are now six hundred
students within her walls. 1t may be
noticed also as possibly more than a
coincidence that this renewed activity
is synonymous with the return of the
Faith to Scotland. The great hall of
the University certainly presented a
fine sight when the President, Lord
Balfour of Burleigh, took his seat to
receive the various deputations and
addresses which were to be presented
to him. Academic gowns with hoods
of all colors, signifying the various
degrees of the wearers and the faculty
they had matriculated in were every
where to be seen. A group of priests
in cassock and ferraiolo were also
present, headed by Monsignor Fraser
of the Scots College in Rome, who
represented him to whom the Univer-
sity owes it's foundation, the Pope of
Rome. Many were the speeches made,
and the tributes paid, always in
a guarded way to Bishops Elphin-
stone, Warlaw, Beaton, and many
more who had given endowments or
built colleges or started new study
within the venerable walls. There was
one discordant note, however, which
was struck by the man who is usually
acknowledged to be one of the most
brilliant public speakers in Britain
today, and who moreover is Scotch
man himself. Lord Rosebery was well
coined by a whole army of students,
and the assemblage in the big hall
hung on his words.
Among other things he went on to
conjure up the shade of the first Lord

Laurie Starr, the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs Louis Starr, died at the
home on south Adams street, shortly
after midnight, Thursday, Sept. 28th,
after being bed fast for nearly five
weeks with typhoid fever. Laurie
was born in Feb 1892 aad during all
of his short life he had lived in this
city except for about two yeats which
he spent IN Colorado. and from which
place the family have only recently
returned 1t is supposed that he con.
tracted the disease, which cut his life
so short. while he was still in Colo
1ado Before going to the west he
had been attending the public schools
in this city and had completed the
sophomore studies in the high school,
1t seems like a mistake in the plans
of the creator Of the universe that one
whose life was all before him should
be taken away before it was given a
chance to unfold itself and complete
its course SO recently begun. The
parents and other relatives have the
sympathy of Laurie's many friends in
this city and wherever he was known.
A large company Of friends were
present at the funeral services which
were conducted by Rev. Hannaford, Of
the Congregational church at the
nome Sunday afternoon. The body
was laid to rest at Hillside and six
of Lauries schoolmates acted as pail
bearers Roy Fisher, Clement N athan

This, the third, congressional dis
trict, appears to be in line for a
lively political scrimmage next year.
Our present congressman. A W.
Kopp, Of Platteville. is now serving
his second term but is understood as
being DESTROYS of another. Congress-
man John Nelson, at present repre-
senting the 2nd district, has been
legislated into this district by reason
of the new apportionment, which has
taken his county, Dane, fro the
2nd district and added it to the
third. Senator John j Blaine, of
Boscobel is expected to get into the
race in the belief that his activities

tage in a congressional campaign.
Another possibility is Charles L.
Harper, long an educator in Grant
county and now chief clerk in the
Office Of the state superintendent Of
public instruction, and the latest
rumors are that former Gov James
o. Davidson is considering the
desirability of entering the field
and to have expressed the opinion
that his chances of winning the
nomination are excellent. AS there
will also be several democratic
aspirants, in all probability, the
chances are excellent for a lively
primary campaign. L

Doing O Good Work.

The Southern Railways Road I'm

Carolina and is now making exhibi-
ton of ex' rt road building in the
upper part of the State. This train
will be at Orangeburg on Wednesday
morning, September 20. and at St.
Matthews Wednesday afternoon, Sep
tember 20. The train is operated
by the Southern Railway working in
cooperation with the United States
office of public roads for the advance
ment Of the improved highway idea
throughout the South.
ghis train is thoroughly equipped
for the work it has been sent out to
do. It carries exhibits, Illustrations
in the form of steropticon views,
samples of road building material
and many other features that will be

ested in the improvement Of the
roads of their section. There are also
on this train government experts on
road building who deliver lectures on
the subject at all points where the
train is greeted by crowds interested
in its mission.
The Southern Railway. which op-
crates this train over its lines with
out cost to any one except itself, is
doing it to aid in the building of
good roads because it wishes to see
the territory it serves grow and de-
velop and produce more business.
This is common cause. We are all
interested in the South's development
and we have come to know that the
most certain way in which to pro-
mote the growth of the South is in
the extension and Improvement of
its highways. This is a public SER
vice for which the Southern should
lie &C mm'nded.

ties in this section, and the people
living in them should give the South

Wilson Could BE Elected.

The conclusion of the Springfield
I.eDublican after a careful review Of
the national political situation. is
that Woodrow Wilson could today
carry the United States by a safe
majority in the electoral college
without the aid of New York or Con-
necticut. The Birmingham News
says this is a remarkable statement,
but it indicates clearly the drift Of
sentiment toward the lew Jersey
governor and emphasizes the fact
that he is today the most formidable
figure in the Democratic party. That
he will grow rather than diminish is
absolutely certain. The more the
country sees of Wilson and hears
from Wilson the firmer his grip upon
the public thought and the public
conscience. He has grown in the es-
timation of the people from day to
day, ever since he worsted the politi-
cal ringsters of New Jersey in bat
tie for the freedom of tn people from
machine rule. He has displayed all
of the traits that command the admi-
ration, the respect and the conf
dence of the people. Courage, re.
sourcefulness and fidelity to princi-
pie have characterized his conduct
from the first, and he has proven

Cats also have enjoyed popularity,
especially with little children and

been numerous and the blue ribbon
has adorned the neck of many an
aristacratic Maltese, Angora and Per-

But cats have their failings. Many g.

been robbed of their sleep by the

Again, their wandering and pilfering

neither cats nor tramrs contribute

his dog, but tramps and cats go free.
But the worse of all is the fact
that cats and tramps have all impia-
cable hatred for water. Never has
ore been known to voluntarily take
a bath. And it is in that fact the
health. of every family and commun-
ity is menaced. Eight kinds of dead
