In the apple orchard-this
Is the time to linger there.
When the sunshine's goodbye kiss
Makes the apples passing fair
Red and brown and yellow-see
How contentedly they hang,
Laying upon the tree
Brimming with the cider tang.
In the apple orchard-Um-m-m!
Tfngling scents watt from each tree
Perfumes such as never come
From the shores OF Arabyl
Glowing reds and russell browns;
Yellow spheres that sway and cling
Where we saw the blossom gowns
Rustic in the breath of spring.
In the apple orchard-see
What a stumbling. humping flight
Has that drunken honey-bee,
Who has quaffed to his delight.
See the heavy-laden boughs,
Dropping half way to our feet.
Where the hayward bees carouse.
Coaxing us to come and eat.
In the apple orchard-this
Is the time to finger there,
When the sunshines goodbye kiss
Lends the apples bushes rare,
When the mingled odors rush
In a Turing perfume-wave,
Telling that the trees are lush
With the best that summer gave.

Ing words Theodore Roosevelt sum-
married. his testimony here Friday at
the close Of the first part of his hear
ing before the Clapp committee of the
senate investigating campaign funds:
i asked no man to contribute to the
campaign fund when l was elected
president of the United States, and
wish to reiterate that Mr. Bliss and
Mr. Cortelyou both assured me that
no promise had been made as a return
for any contribution Neither they nor
anyone else having authority asked
me to act or refrain from acting in
any manner while was president be-
cause any contribution had been made
or withheld.
Gentlemen. could l put 1t more
sweepingly?"
The colonel specifically denied that
he ever asked for contributions to his
1904 campaign fund or that he had
known of any contribution by ]. p.
Morgan. To these statements he
added that he had ordered the return
to the Standard Oil company of any
contribution 1t might have made in
1904; that he had been assured by
George B. Cortelyou only yesterday"
that he knew of no such contribution
and that he did not believe Cornelius
N. Bliss ever demanded a contribu-
ton from John D. Archbold or from
any corporation by any methods of
extortion.
Colonel Roosevelt did not deny that
corporations had contributed to the
1904 campaign. He said his letters
and published statements always had
acknowledged that fact, but he speci-
fed that no such contributions had
been obtained under any suggestion
that the administration would reward
the giyers with special favors.
Senator Penrose should be driven
from the senate" he declared, be
cause of his acknowledged friendli-
ness with Standard Oil interests
Charles D. HilIes and Congressman
Bartholdt should be forced to prove
their statements that the Roosevelt
primary campaign funds this year had
amounted to $3,000.000 or $4,000 900

SAYS CRIMINALS
NOT RESPONSIBLE
rs to 60 Per Cent. Declared
High Grade ImbeciIes.
WISCONSIN CONDITION GIVEN
President Greenman of State Chari-
ties and Corrections Addresses the
Conference at Observation-Disclosures
to Be Asked TO Give Relief,

Madison.-That from 25 to so per
cent of the inmates of correctional
institutions are not above the class
of high grade imbeciles, and from
these people spring a great majority
of the criminals of the world, were
two Of the significant statements
made here last night by President
Walter F. Greenman of Milwaukee at
the Wisconsin State Conference of
Charities and Corrections, which is
meeting here in cooperation with
the extension division of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
These persons never become ca
pable of self-control, and deeds OF
violence, arson and murder imme-
diately follow upon their release
from custody. The women of this
class are proved to have a feeundity
about double that of normal women.
The progeny of such parents is
tainted with feeblemindedness So
the stream of the unfit widens daily"
declared President Greenman.
These people should be segregat-
ed according to sex In colonies of
fifty upon FARMS" continued the
speaker. "They should be committed
on an indeterminate sentence. They
can live happy and harmless lives,
mostly in the open upon such farms.
They would be almost self-supporting
and the expense to the state would
not be one-twentieth what it now is
to pay for court and police charges
with the expense of maintenance of
each delinquent and all his progeny
for several generations, because the
expense never stops with his death
unless he has been prevented from
becoming parent.
"The lack of woman's reforma-
tory constitutes one Of the most
wasteful conditions ia the state.
There are always from ten to twelve
girls in the state Industrial school
at Milwaukee who must be released
on reaching FL years of age, but who
are manifestly unfit to be returned
to the community at large For wom-
en- over eighteen years of age we
only have Waupun, the county jails
and houses of correction OF course,
some of the women committed to
these places may already be hard
ened criminals; but if a woman is
not already hopeless we condemn her
TO life of habitual crime by COM
hitting her under the law to exist
Ing institutions. In recognition of
this CHASTITY fact, some judges con-
TESS to their reluctance to commit
and frequently suspend sentence,
turning the delinquent woman back
% her evil environment until she is
again arrested for something worse
so that she may be sent to Wau-
pun"
President Greenman says there is
only one solution for the present APP
palling state of affairs. in reference
% Wisconsin's treatment of her
criminals, delinquents and unfit. He
proposes to have the state legislature
appropriate funds for the mainte-
nance of board of control which
is to consist of five members hold
ing office during good behavior. One
member should be an expert on lun-
acy, one on penology, one in char
ity and one in finance, besides one
named as president.
