attain perfection and points to Mona
Rees, 81, as the first example of the
efficiency Of his philosophy in driving
out evil.
Mona Rees is perfect" asserts See.
''She has attained the absolute life
which is absolute freedom"
He has challenged three Chicago
preachers to disprove his claims. Sem
sational revelations were made few
months ago at Sees trial for ahduct-
ing Mildred Bridges. He was sentenc-
ed to ten years in prison, but has ap-
pealed.
mo matter said See, "if / go to
jail, I can live the absolute life as
well as Ii retain my freedom. I
am happy that one of my pupils has
reached the ultimate.
She is completely free from all
material things. She stands alone,
pre- eminent in all the world, in her
transcendental spirituality. If the three
preachers to whom l have written
will examine Mona, they will find her
free from moral weakness. / defy
anyone to prove her subject to the sins
Of other nlortals."

I. R. TALKS
TO HIGHBROWS
Makes Appeal 10 the People Of
Massachusetts
DISCUSSES 'LORlMERISM"
SAYS awe ARE ABSOLUTELY
FREE FROM AFFILIATIoN WITH
OLD PARTIEs"-APPEALs TO
THE WOMAN AS WELL AS TO
THE MAN.

Revere Beach, Mass, Aug. 17.-
Honesty in nominations and elections
and social and industrial justice form
ed the text of a speech delivered here
today by Roosevelt. The progressive
candidate for president also contrast
ed the progressive platform with tha
democratic platform as discussed by
Wilson in his speech of acceptance.
Whereas Wilson. he said had
stated, "a platform is not a pro-
gramme," Roosevelt declared the pro.
gressives treated their platform as &
programme and "a contract which we
shall scrupulousIy fulfill If the peopla
give us chance"
Roosevelt said in part:
Men and women of Massachusetts,
and on the platform on which
stand I make the same appeal of SER
ious and sober purpose to the woman
as to the mani come to this state
with it's background Of adherence to
lofty ideals, and ask you in the name
of Massachusetts to place the Massa-
chusetts of today on the side Of thosa
who battle for all that is highest and
best in our national life.
I'm making my speech here in Mas
sachusetts on behalf of the progressive
policy I wish to emphasize the fact
that we are absolutely clear from af-
fiIiation with either of the old parties;
that we regard both old parties as
hopelessly corrupt and incompetent.
and that we appeal to the rank and
file Of both old parties equally to stand
with US for good citizenship in the
spirit OF true Americans.
Tex democrats and ex-republicans
alike we hope, will share with us the
task of building up the progressive
party and we invite into our ranks
men and women entirely without re-
gard to their former political affiIia-
tions, to their creed, their birthplace
or the color OF their skins"
Roosevelt took up the Lorimer case,
discussing its start two years age.
1--WE who then took part in that fight
did so at a time when the average
public man thought 1t would come TO
nothing. Gradually, and especially In
the recent contest, In the republican
primaries, we hammered into the
heads of the politicians that the people
were against Lorimer and Lorimer-
ism"
Roosevelt's discussion of the courts
was along the same lines as in sever
al previous speeches.

.lO3 BUSHELS OF
OATS PER ACRE

Mandan Pioneer: Morton county. it
Is believed, has broken the record of
the northwest for an oat yield this
year, as w. Campbell, who farms in
the Fort Lincoln Flats reports. and
shows a theshers receipt to prove his
statement, that he secured an average
of 103 bushels of oats to the acre on
an eighty acre tract.
The rich soil of the Missouri river
bottoms and the ideal weather con-
dttions are given as the causes of the
remarkable yield.
From all over this vicinity come re-
ports of wonderful yields. One well
known farmer near Glen Ullin. who
had about 100 acres in barley, secured
an average yield Of 70 bushels to the
acre. aE
The wheat in the Custer Flat neigh
borhood will average nearer 80 than
as. ap - n N
The week thus far has been ideal
for harvesting, and by the end OF the
week is is safe to assert that fully
county will be cut, and this will prob
ably hold true in Oliver county. In
Mercer county more than half the
grain is cut, and the rest will be
down by the middle of the week. In
the southern part OF the county the
threshers have been at work all week
and though returns from the, thresh-
ers have been slow in coming in the
general results are highly satisfac-
tory. Some wheat is expected to 90
as high as 80 bushels, but from is TO
18 is nearer the average. Barley is
running from 20 to 40 bushels, and rye
from Is to 25 bushels.
The severe storm of last Sunday
did very little damage. though north
OF New Salem a number of farmers
were hailed out where grain was not
cut. Hail also fell at Brisbane. though
the wheat, oats barley and rye were
practically all cut, yet fax and corn,
which Is a heavy crop in that section.
probably suffered.
Every threshing rig in the country
will be going next week and the ele-
vators and railroads are preparing FOR
the biggest movement of crops in the
history Of the state.

New York, Aug, 17.--A general in
vestigation into police graft in all its
phases is to be undertaken by the ex-
traordinary session Of the supreme
court, presided over by Justice Goff,
who has been designated by Governor
Dix to sit In the trials of Police Lieu
tenant Becker and others charged with
the murder OF the gambler, Herman
Rosenthal.
The news that the supreme court
would conduct a grand jury investiga-
ton with Justice Goh having full
power to compel testimony, caused a
panic in the underworld today, and
many gamblers and others hurried out
of the city.
It has been supposed that the ap-
pointment Of Goff was only for the
purpose of trying the Rosenthal mur-
der cases, but IL leaked out that the
supreme court would begin a John Doe
inquiry that would delve into the in
