PLEADS FOR THE RICH.
College President Deplores Attacks on
Successful Business Men.


In his baccalaureate sermon Presi-
dent Flavel q. Luther OF Trinity COL
lege, Hartford. Conn, condemned the
indlscriminate attack upon men who
are adversely criticised because OF
their business transactions.
I'VE read and hear much" said he,
"of evil, grasping selfshness in the
business world. Men are held up by
name to the scOrn and deTision Of the
reading and listening world. Their
methods of business are denounced in
many quarters as Of deviish origin
and of fatal effect.
There is something in all this, but
the curious thing is that these men,
whose names, l suppose, occur to you
as am speaking, when you come to
meet them, are honest, straight, up.
right, loving fathers, faithful hus.
bands, Christian gentlemen, charitable
lovers OF men and lovers Of God
There is something pltiful In the
genuine surprise with which in the
last few years Christian gentlemen of
the sort whom | have described dis,
covered that the things which they
have been doing are regarded by the
world as evil.
II do not believe that these men are
sinners above other men. They are
the victims OF the imperfect standards
which have been placed in their
hands"

Western Dakota Asks Relief.

Pierre, S. d., July 5.-Petitions are
being circulated in the northwestern
part of the state in which the claim.
holders are asking for relief on az.
coun; of the dry conditions in that sec
ton. They ask that they be "absolv.
ed and discharged from making any
further payments due to the govern.
ment on these lands" In this terri
tory claim they have a precedent in
the action for relief of settlers on the
lands of the Sisseton reservation,
where conditions were settlers did not
raise crops for several years and that
as they are in a worse situation than
were the Sisseton settlers, they are
entitled to the same relief which was
given to the settlers further east in
the state. While they are so petition.
ing they do not expect to secure ac.
ton without fight, and are preparing
to make such a fight as they can for
the relief they ask.

MAKE THE SUBURBS PRETTY
UnsIghtllness In Development Usually

The unattractiveness of most su-

fact that the land Is hopelessly sub

excepting by an expenditure Of money
which the investment does not justify;
hence the attempt to obtain variety by
stunts and detail, much OF which IL

Secondly, the designing OF these

hands Of spectators and promoters.
has not usually been intrusted to arehi-
