Millionaire Tells CIapp Com
mittee of His Connection
With Parker Campaign.
WAS OPPOSED TO JUDGE.
BUT GAVE TO SAVE PARTY

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-Thomas
Fortune Ryan, the New York financier,
testified before the senatorial commit
tee investigating campaign contribu-
tions> today that he had contributed
about 100000 to keep the Democratic
national campaign from collapsing in
1904. He said that he took this action,
although he was unalterably opposed to
the nomination of A. B. Parker and
had favored the nomination of Arthur
Pue German, of Maryland.
Today was the first time that Ryan
has ever appeared as witness before
senatorial investigation. He was the
first witness called. George w. Per-
kins, former partner of J. P Morgan
and a leading supporter of Theodore
Roosevelt, was the second witness, Mr..
Ryan's testimony being brief. Ryan
told the committee he was engaged in
agricultural pursuits in Virginia and
then volunteered a statement of his
connection with the 1904 campaign.

Il went to st. Louis" he said, "as a
delegate from Virginia in 1904 Judge
Parker was a candidate for the presi-
denCy at that time and his friends
sought to enlist me in his campaign;
but l opposed his nomination, being in
favor of Senator German. Judge
Parker was nominated in St. Louis but
took no part in aiding his nominal
ton and furnished him with no cam
paign funds.
After the committees were organ
lied in New York | made the national
party committee a contribution of $780,

tional party small sums to 100000
Toward the end of the campaign mem
bers of the national committee came TO
me. when it was perfectly apparent
that Judge Parker could not be elected,
and told me that the campaign would
collapse unless they had financial aid.

party together would have the aid they
thought necessary, l contributed about

School Spirit

While attending the Normal
school football demonstrations last
Thursday afternoon and Saturday
evening we heard varied comments
upon the nature of the proceedings,
and we were quite surprised to note
that some severely criticized this
form of youthful enthusiasm as
demonstrated by the students.
Yet these same critics are anxious
to see our school prosper, and will
take just as much pride as anyone
else in having the River Falls Nor
NAL the foremost in the state But
they condemn the very thing that will
be the most beneficial to the school;
student enthusiasm, school spirit, a
pull all together"
A school where "school spirit" is
lacking is seldom heard of by the
outside world, and what is heard of
it is not generally favorable. Stu
dent enthusiasm is not confined to
athletics, it cannot be. The students
are enthusiastically for the school
because they realize the benefits
they are deriving from it. They
want the school to succeed that they
may succeed. They wish everything
that the school undertakes to be
big success, whether it be scholas-
tic, social or athletic. They are
taught the meaning of the phrase
that I'm union there is strength"
and that whatever credit there is in
school victory is reflected upon
each student individually.
Then too, this school enthusiasm
is lasting. The student carries it
with him after he has graduated
and he continues to boost for the
school, and his boosting advertises
the school and brings more students
here.
Most of the citizens appear to
fully realize the fact that this stu
dent enthusiasm is great thing
for the school, and large number
were down at the depot, encourag-
ing the students in their enthusi-
iasm. We all want the River Falls
Normal to be leading school, for
its success will surely put this city
more prominently on the map, so,
instead of wearing blue Monday"
crouch when the students are max
ing big demonstration, let's join
and encourage them.

Train Schedule Changed

The train schedule on the local
branch has been changed as fol-
lows: Leaves for Hudson at 7:10 a.
m. and returns at 9:45 a. m. In the
afternoon it leaves at ESQ and re-
turns at 6:53.
This change in time comes far
from meeting with the approval of
local patrons of the line, but the
approval of it's patrons in this neck
of the woods doesn't appear to
count for much at the. Omaha COM
pays headquarters The announce
ment of a train schedule on this
branch amounts to practically no.
thing as a guide to the arrival of
south bound trains. The morning
and evening trains from Hudson
are so seldom within the hour of
their schedule that if it should hap
pen to blow in" on time it would
be an event deserving of lengthy
comment and wonder.
The Omaha people claim this
branch as about the most paying
run on their line, but their method
of showing their appreciation is
certainly shabby one. If rival
line should threaten to cover this
territory the Omaha would surely
come around to showing little
more respect for the wishes of its
patrons here, and they'd do it so
humbly and politely that one would
think they had been planning it for
years. But as long as they're the
whole thing here they run their
train solely for the convience of the
influential ones at the Twin City
end of the line. The Twin City
merchants are possibly back of this
change of schedule, the idea being
to give the transients from this
locality more time for shopping up
there.
Whatever the idea is, together
with the uncertainty of the time of
arrival of the trains from Hudson,
is a matter that the Omaha com pany
should be required to remedy.

MenomOnie Wins

The Menomonie high school foot
ball team was too big a proposition
for the lighter and less experienced
players of the local high school
eleven and the game here last Sat
urday was rather lop-sided affair,
the visitors winning by a score of
SO to 0. The locals, however, put
up surprisingly good defense dur
ing the first half, and once in the
third quarter they nearly scored
when Loucks intercepted a forward
pass and carried the ball to Menom-
onie's FIVE yard line. But Menom-
onie held them and secured the
ball on downs.

The Potato Situation
Hurry in Disposing of Them
Seems Not Warranted

The potato situation does not ap-
pear to warrant the haste in their
disposal that is manifest in many
sections. The fact is that the esti-
mate of the yield of potatoes this
wear has been lowered from month
to month and is not now at figure
that is inconsistent with a fair
market price.
Again, the potato growers are in
clined to forget that last year mil
lions Of bushels were imported into
this country and that millions of
people were removed from the con-
Stunning population by the prohibit
i've prices that prevailed. When
these elements are taken into con-
sideration, the yield for this year
comes nearer to the normal point.
Once more, when we have large
crop as this year there will always
be found a large quantity of pota-
toes of poor quality that are rushed
upon the market as in the case at
this time, producing demoralizing
condition and low prices.
The potato crop is we'll distributed
over the country this year. This
means that at anything like living
prices the whole population will be
consumers and will take care of the
increased production. 1t means also
that those who have good keeping
potatoes are far ahead of those who
planted poor seed in unfavorable
ground and raised a poor crop.
Don't hurry in marketing your
potatoes.

THE THIEF" WELL PLAYED

"The Thief" Henri Bernstein's
story of how wife pilfered 5000
francs to buy fnery, under the mis-
taken notion that if she were gowned
as we'll as the most fashionable of
her sex, she would be the more GER
tain of retaining the love and ad-
miration of her husband, opened
the weekend engagement at the
Lyeeum Thursday. Bernstein is
French writer who delights in deal
ing with things that appeal to the
heat, in other words the inner
secrets of home life. In this in
stance he pictures a beautiful
woman madly in love with her hus-
band. This in itself should not be
considered unusual, but the methods
she adopts to insure a reciprocal
sentiment are the things that lend
interest to the story and grip the
attention of the appreciative theatre
goer.
Critics have approved of Bern
STEMS creation as one of the best
from the Frenchman' standpoint,
and popular sentiment has applaud
ed the decision. The play has had
successful run in the higher
priced houses and is expected to re
ceive equal favor at the hands of
new clientele. 1t is talky, another
Bernstein characteristic, but not
tiresome. In fact, the talk is SO in
tensely interesting that one forgets
the lack of action.
The cast now playing at the Ly-
ceum is uniformly good. Miss
Marion Sherwood plays the part of
Marie Louise Voysin, the Thief,
with definite understanding, espe-
cially in the trying scenes of the
second act, where her husband,
Richard Voysin (Jack Emerson).
| discovers that she and not young
Fernand Lagardee, is the real thief.
Little is required of Harry Kline in
the last named character, but he
does it we'll. R. Iazear Wilbur
gives a satisfactory delineation of
Raymond Lagardes, and pleasant
things may be said of Barry Towns
ley as M. Gondoin, known as M.
Zambault, the detective, and Miss
Lena Chase as Isabella Lag ardes.-

DIVIDES COUNTRY
ON ZONE SYSTEM

Postmaster General Hitchcock
has sub mitted a formal report to
the Senate recommending the pas.
sage Ex-senator Bourne's parcel post
bill, and it looks as though that
measure had some chance of getting
through at this session of Congress
Concerning the bill Mr.. Hitchcock
says:
at provides for a general parcels
post service throughout the United
States and its several territories and
possessions, excepting the Philippine
Islands. 1t provides also for a
special parcels post on rural routes
and in the letter carrier systems of
cities and towns. 1t consolidates
the third and fourth classes of mail
matter, a reform long advocated by
the department, and raises the
weight limit to eleven pounds,
which is the limit tor the interna-
tional parcels post. Articles as
large as seventy.two inches in COM
bined length and girth will be car
ried provided they are not perishable
within the peroid required for deliv-
cry and are not calculated to do
damage in transit.
'The rate to be charged for artic-
les carried in the rural route service
and city carrier s.rvice will lie FIVE
cents for the first pound or frac-
ton of a pound and one cent for
each additional pound or fraction
OF a pound, This rate applies to
matter mailed at a post office from
which a rural route starts for deliv-
cry on such route, or mailed at any
point on such route for delivery
elsewhere on the route or at the
office from which the route starts,
or ON any other rural route start
