The funds are collected, says the
report, to bring in settlers and place
them on the land and not to build
houses or assist farmers in the de-
velopment of their homesteads.
The demands by possible settlers,
as shown by the records of immigra.
ton, aggregate one thousand and for
ty-one families.
The continuation of legislation pro.
viding for the immigration tax fund
is pointed out as most desirable and
necessary.
Senator Chillingworth successfully
moved to defer the bill till Tuesday
so as to have corrected typewriter
copies. He added that the committee
had done diligent work and most care

THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.

cIares Woodrow Wilson.


How widespread is the progressive
movement in American politics was
eloquently expressed by Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in q
recent speech. The governor said:
at does not require any great imas-
ination to think that high thoughts
and purposes in politics are running
subtly through every household and
every member OF every household in
this country. II does not need that
you should touch Enthusiastically
touch elhows-with uen In the street
and men in the shop in order to know
the great issues Of human happiness
that are involved in a great contest
like this, for the question Of the tariff
Is not mere question eG policy. L: Is
question Of the Encouragement OF the
public interests as you touch evefy

any man In such circumstances Gun
hold bis bead up after he has voted for
a special Interest without u hlse con-
ception Of the common interests [ for

But whether men eun comprehend
1t or net, help 1t or not, we all know
that the mills OF the gods grind slow
", and they grind exceedingly Hne.
and the men who now resist this
great impulse Of reform, the men VINO
impede this great compulsion ot pub

Ganaais Of the Plaunnusa.

Thespis in 53G B. G. acted his plays
In a wagon. In 4D9 b. e., during the
time Of Aeschylus, creator Of drama
the performances took place upon tenn
p0rary wooden scafTolds, one Of which,
having collapsed during 4 representa-
tiou. the Athenians were Induced to
build the great theater of DiOnysius,
calling 1t the LenalOn, which was the
first permanent stone structure of its
kind. 1t required 100 years to erect it.
There was no scenery, but he scene
was decorated so as to represent the
locality in which the action was going
on, Roofless was his structure, but
around the building were portcoes, to
which the people retrcated during rain
storms. Sometimes awnings were used
tQ ward off the suns heat. Invarl-
ably the actors were males, who wore
masks with mouthpieces, answering
the purpose Of speaking trumpets.
Owing TO the vastncss of the theater
metal vases were placed under the
seats to serve as re6ectors of sound.
Performances began In the morning
and usually lasted twelve hours,--New

The Sun.

1t is computed that the temperature
OF the sun would be expressed by 49,.
900 degrees of Fahrenheit's thermome,
ter, or about ninety times the tempera-
turo of boiling water. This is about
FIVE times the temperature that man is
able TO produce by artificial means.
The light given or from the surface of
the sun is reckoned as being $500
times more intense than that of the
molten metal in n Bessemer converter.
though that Is of an almost binding
brilliancy, or, II we compare 1t with
the oxyhydrogen flame, the sun sheds
a light equal In brilllancy to 1i6 times
the intensity of the limelight.

1t won Id appear that it is up to the

1t won Id appear that it is up to the
state board of text book commissioners
to alter the present service OF fur
nishing school looks to the different
districts of the state. Under the pres
ent method of securing text books the
higher grades in the public schools are
compelled in some Instances to wait a
week or more after the beginning of
school before entering upon tha years
work, for the reason that books are
not in stock in local book stores. This
in face of the fact that the j. K. Gill
company of Portland is under contract
to keep complete depository of text
books in every town in the state,
60 we are reliably informed. TO the
contrary, this is not done, in Athena
at least. The result is that the looks
have to come from Portland ON order
after school starts and all of this
weeks work will be practically lost to
the students in the High school de-
partment. No blame can be attached
to local book sellers for the reason
that the narrow margin of 10 por cent
op sales will rot permit of them carry
lug voluminous stock of books, when
the contracting company refuses to
allow the return of uusoId books.
This is nothing less than tlsgraut in
justice to the local seller, the school
pupils and the public. aud apparently
is iu rank violation OF the depository
clause of the contract between the J.
X. Gill company and the state. The
text book situation should he SO ar
ranged that any one paying the price
could at any time procure any book
embraced in the general course Of
study without having to wait for an
order to go to Portland.

coast to coast NJ. J. Jones. director OF
education at the local Y. NJ. [. A., said
yesterday he did not believe Mr.. Smith
ment to use the word scandal in the
sense in which it is generally accepted.
but rather in the sense of a "reproach
called forth by wrong, criminal or ma

the word given by a dictionary.
Il do not believe Mr.. Smith meant the
word scandal to imply single moral
wrong, but rather the whole drift OF ath-
letics, social life and loose habits in the
schools, including smoking. drinking and
SO forth.
Mr. Jones was certain that whatever
Mr. Smith had meant he could support

WINE GROWERS MANIFESTO,
Fraudulent Competition Said to Be
Principal Grievance.

RHEIMS. France, January ol.-The
wine growers in the champagne district
have ceased their manifestations agains
the presence Of strong military force
but have issued a manifesto declaring
that the principal grievance is fraudulent
competition.
They say that the parliamentary act
delimiting the champagne district is moi
operative and is constantly violated. and
that additional legislation lis needed tc
prevent abuse through the introduction
OF inferior wines from non-champagne
districts and abroad.
The growers also assert that these
wines. after blending and other treat.
ment, are placed on the market as genu-
inc champagne thereby completing the
ruin Of an industry already dem0ralized
by failing crops.
