THE THINKERS.

T B. Oliye-Were it not for the
fact that the government prevents
the Indians from disposing of all
their lands the white man would
own the greatest proportion of the
aboriginal holdings and poor LO
would have nothing but beggar S
heritage left. Uncle Sam has decreed
that they cannot dispose of all their
holdings and that they must reserve
at least forty acres, which makes
it imperative for them to obey. We're
it not for this wise provision, it
would be but a short time before
the Indians avarice and desire for
INN ediate cash and the white man s
land hunger would find the red man
without place to hang his hat. The
Indians are also rapidly assimilat-
ing with the white race and there
are already many who have more
white blood than that of the abor
igine in their veins. With this in
terimngling, become more shrewd
and are apparently able to take
care of themselves.
Leonard Mathews.-As now con-
dried bulls hide-tread it down in
one place and it will fly up in an
other. 1t is almost irresistible and
the paramount issue in 1911 will be
whether or not the money trust shall
rule or the rule of reason take its
place. Some people who try to be
essentially polite try to dignity this
trust under the Euphonious name OF
Big Business but it is only the same
old wolf with sheep skin pulled
over it.
Will ]. Robinson.-Men hunt life
in the mad scramble for wealth and
they sacrifice every righteous and
noble impulse that would hold
them back. They are forever goad-
ed on by greed, but when the end
comes they find that death is the
only game they get in the strenuous
hunt for life. Men hunt life in dis
sipation. They drink and get drunk,
imagining that life's sweetest dreams
come from maudlin sleep and that
life's troubles may all be drowned
in the flowing bowl. Men hunt life
in crime and immortality, gratifying
unnatural desires and apetites, ap-
parently unconscious that three is
anything better or nobler in all the
world. The hunt for life, for ex-
citement, for dissipation, for wealth,
for power, is the greatest destroyer
of human energy that curses the
world.
Samuel Gompers.-As Americans
wa have been fOrtunate. we have q
feculty for overcoming obstacles.
Through all turmiols and despite
national upheavals we have some
how landed on all tours safely.
From the time of the framing of
the constitution, a network of diff
ficulties has been overcome. We
have become a nation of optomists
and self-sufficient and for that very
reason we often fail to appreciate
the dangers that confront us-dan-
gers not so much from without as
from within. The common concep-
ton is that Rome fell victim to
marrauders from the outside; In
reality, that republic fell as others
have done, to growing weakness and
dangers from within. The decadence
of fallen republics is due to men of
wealth arrogating to themselves
first power, then titles, charters,
| concessions privileges and immuni-
ties. They took away from the mas
SEES their means of protesting and
in doing so they resorted to issuing
edicts and making laws denying the
people the right to associate.

T. c. Henry.-The investment of
part of the 100000 of Colorado 8
idle school funds in irrigation bonds
would inspire the confidence of cap
ital. Irrigation has made the school
lands valuable and the irrigation
district legislation has safeguarded
all Indebtedness. Whenever the
state will show confidence in the re-
demption of its arid lands by in
vesting its school funds, then east
ern capital will no longer hesitate
to follow the lead set by the state.
These bonds would bear interest and
thus increase the fund, whereas at
present the money Is used by the
banks who pay no interest upon 1t.

Winona.-The time for the spring
meeting Of the bishops Of the Meth.
odist Episcopal church has been ad.
vanced week, and unless there is a
further change from present plans
outlined in letter sent to Rev. Frank

dist church here, by Bishop Mcintyre,
the meeting Of the bishops will open
here Wednesday afternoon, April 20.
and will close the following Monday.
The meeting will be Of special i'm.

to be reported to the quadrennial gen
eral conference of the church to be
held at Minneapolis in May, 1912. At
their meeting in Winona the bishops
will formulate the memorials upon
these matters to be sent to the annual
conferences for their votes.
An effort is now being made to get
Bishop H. w. Warren, the presiding
bishop for the meeting here, to come
to Winona for the Sunday before the
bishops sessions open, and, if he
consents to this, arrangements will be
made to have him give, on Tuesday
evening, his lecture on "The Forces
in Sunbeam"
The bishops want two meetings for
special purposes, one for education
and one for missions, and these will
be arranged. A series Of lectures Of
extraordinary merit will also be pro-
vided. These will be given in the
Central Methodist church. Among the
bishops who have been asked to lee.
ture are Bishops William A. Quayle,
Edward Hughes and F. M. Bristol,

to give his lecture on Brains"
The business sessions of the bishops
will be held from A. M. to IL NJ,
and from 2 to p. NJ, and these will
be executive in character for the bish-
ops alone. Arrangements will be
made for series of public afternoon
meetings in the church auditorium,
while the bishops are in executive ses-
sion in the church parlors, and it is
expected bishop or two will be ex-
cused long enough to address these
public meetings. Bishop Mallalieu will
hold revival meeting at the Olive
Branch church.

CORONER SUSPECTS MURDER.
Investigation Of Burned Cabin Brings
Gruesome Facts to Light.

Duluth.-While Deputy Coroner H.
G. Seeley does not say so directly,
his conduct in the investigation Of
the death OF Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. New
man, the Minneapolis couple whose
charred bodies were found in the
burned ruins Of their cabin two miles
from Allen Junction, establishes the
belief that he thinks the couple were
murdered and robbed. He will COM
municate with the district attorney
at once, and q coroner's jury will in
vestigate the case tomorrow.
Mr.. Newman had his clothes on
when he died in the cabin The cloth
ing was all burned, but the buckles
of his vest were under the remains,
and other facts establish the fact that
he was not in bed when the cabin
burned.
Some Of the kitchen utensils Of the
Newman house were found hidden
near the cabin. Articles of jewelry
which bore marks Of Identification are
the only ones that have not been re-
covered. The four sons of Mrs. New.
man, Charles, Nathan. Wallace and
William Lowrence. Of Minneapolis,
took the remains to Minneapolis for
burial.

FLOGGliNG MACHINE CHARGED.
ALLEGED ABUSES IN BOYS,
TRAINING SCHOOL, RED WING,
Senator Rockne to Call for Probe %
Result Of Statements BY
A. D. Stephens.

Red Wing, MINI. - At the re,
quest Of F. A. Whittier, superintend-
ent OF the Boys Training school, SEN
ator A. j. Rockne will introduce a reso-
luton In the state senate asking for
full and searching investigation Of the
management Of that institution. Sat
urday evening, at Crookstou. former
Senator Stephens, before a legislative
committee that was being given a
smoke social, made the charge that
the boys were being abused and that
logging by flogging machines was the
custom at the Redw Wing school.
10 representative who in inyesti-
gated the school Superintendent Whit
tier denied the allegation and invited
the fullest investigation. The state
training school will again be in the
llmel1ght and legislative committee
will undoubtedly hold sessions here
soon and search for the truth. Il
When the attention of Mr.. Whittier
was called to the article in which Sem
ator A. D: Stephens of Crookston al
leges outrageous conditions in the
treatment of the boys, he said that
there was little to be given in reply
to statements that were so indefinite.
Senator Stephens says that the boys
are numerically >fogged by hogging
machines. Mr.. Whittier asserts that
there has never been machine of any
kind used for that purpose in the in
stitution and never has hogging been
allowed.
1t is not desired that corporal pun
ishment be resorted to, but when it
is, it is always and only as last re-
sort. says the superintendent. Then
it is always with the approval of the
superintendent and always in his or
the assistant superintendent pres
ence.

NIGHT SCHOOL ON RANGE
Virginia Has 500 Adults ATTENDING
Glasses.

Virginia. night school depart
ment of the Virginia public school
system soon will have an enrolment
of 500 for the present year. This
school is the Oldest of the range night
schools, having been started seven
years ago by Superintendent l.. Bliss.
The school is run both afternoons and
evenings five days in the week. The
scholars are all adults, mostly men,
Last year out Of an enrolment of
1863, more than 100 took out their first
naturalization papers, and this num-
Der will be much surpassed this year.
Besides learning to speak, read and
write English, much useful Informal
ton is presented in this night school
in an attempt to make those attend
ing better citizens and give them a
clutch on life in this country.
For instance, different ways of earn
ing living are discussed, and Ger
tain ways like saloonkeeping, etc., are
condemned. They are taught laws of
business, how to write letters, how to
dress and keep clean, to be polite and
honest. They learn by heart certain
sentiments intended to make them
better men and women like: do your
work as we'll as you CAM" There is
always room at the top" If you
would be wealthy, think of saving, as
we'll as of getting money" with
malice toward nSne, with charity for
Tall;" Keep the spark of conscience
alive in your breast"
They are taught about state and
city government, why taxes are nee
essary, why not to sell their votes,
the use Of a police department, fire
department, street cleaning depart
ment, health department and what
it should mean to every one to be a
citizen of the United States. They
are taught to do unto others as they
would be done by, and that the land
of their adoption, America, means op-
portunity, for those who are sincere,
work hard and lead a clean life.

HEARING FOR SALOON MAN.
Wisconsin Liquor Dealer in Court on
Charge Of Murder.

Winona.-The preliminary hearing
of AL. Childs, the Buffalo county, Wis
consin, saloon man who shot and killed
Henry Dingdelder in his saloon two
weeks ago, began at Alma, Wis.
The defendant is in a weakened con-
dition physically, the effects of two op-
erations during the last year and the
beating he received after the recent
shooting. Bail will undoubtedly be
fixed at the hearing today, and it is un-
derstood Childs will be in a position
to secure any necessary amount. PLY.
sicians do not believe the man will
live to serve more than a few months
In prison, should he be convicted.

jurist, and his genial and many sided
nature made him popular as a man as
he was highly regarded as a lawyer.
III for Some Time.
Justice Jaggard had been i'll for
some time. There seemed to be gen.
eral breakdown of his rugged health
and he thought that two months spent
in the sunny climate of the Bermudas,
away from work and worry, would
place him on his feet again. He left
st. Paul, Jan. g., expecting to return
about the middle of March. Since
then little was heard from him, but it
was generally believed he was recover
ing his health.
Justice Jaggard was a unique figure
on the bench, deep student of the
law: he was popular after-dinner
speaker, member of many fraternal
orders and always in demand socially
because Of his loyal qualities. He
took deep interst in public matters
and wrote several books on legal SUBJ
jects.
He had been mentioned in the last
two campaigns as a possible candidate
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. His ability as speaker and
his splendid presence. it was thought,
would have made him an irresistible
candidate.
Funeral arrangements are not CON-
pleted, but cable messages have been
sent to Mrs. Jaggard, who was with
her husband. 1t is expected the body
will be brought to st. Paul for inter.
ment, the state of Minnesota paying
it's last respect to the man who has
been on the supreme bench since 1904.
Judge Jaggard was born in Altoona,
Pa, in 1859. He graduated from
Dickinson college in Carlyle, Pa, in
1879. He came to St. Paul in 1882
and was elected to the district court
by the Second district in 1898, and
served continually until his death.
He was the author of numerous pam
phlets on taxation and legal questions,
and his opinions were considered high
ly by lawyers throughout the country.
