GODLIKE AMERICANS
THE FUTURE RACE

PHILADELPHIA race of god-like
Americans, perfect in face and form,
and intellect, is proposed in book
just got out by Prof. Scott Nearing
of the Wharton school of the Univers-
ity of Pennsylvania.
"Supermen." is the name he would
give to the creatures of his ideal race
wonderful being like those from
whom the ancient Greeks of the
classical age loved to trace their de-
scent.
Three things according to the pro-
fessor are necessary in order to pro-
duce supermen and super-race.

THINK HEALY FIRE rs.
WAS INCENDIARY

The burning of the Healey the
ater at Hibbing on Friday morn
ing last, entailing a loss of $780,
600 or upwards, is to be made the
object Of research by the state
fire marshal's department, it be-
ing the consensus of opinion that
the fire was Of incendiary origin.
So far as known the theater
building had not been entered
since it's lease to Messrs. Allerdt
& Sigel week previous, and the
heating plant had not been in op
Grafton since January LIST. The
electric lighting wires, which en-
tered the building through con-
duits, had not carried current for
a week previous to the conhagra
ton. The theory Of incendiarism
is also borne out by the fact that
a rear door was found open,
while the fire when discovered
was burning briskly on the stage
and in the wings.
State Fire Marshal Keller and
Deputy Sam Fullerton are in Hib-
bling conducting the investigation.

MICHIGAN PLACES BAN ON
CLOTH ADVERTISING CLOTH

Cloth signs placed in front of
buildings for advertising purposes
have been put under the ban by
State Fire Marshal G.. A. Palmer,
of Michigan, according to a bulle-
tin he is sending out to all fire
chiefs, mayors and village presi-
dents of the Wolverine state.
In the bulletin it is stated that
an investigation by the depart
ment has convinced the off cials
that the use Of cloth advertising
signs in front of stores, vacant
buildings, and bill boards, is a
decided fire hazard and menace
to life and property.
"You are therefore directed to
see that all such signs are prompt
ly removed wherever they are in

BADLY FROZEN ATTEMPT
ING TO ESCAPE

Carl Falkenberg, II years Of,
age, who was sent to the Red
Wing training school from Eve
leth few months ago, was badly
frozen on Saturday in an attempt
to escape from the institution
which has gained so nauseating a
reputation through the investiga-
ton into the brutalities Of Supt.
Whittier. In order to escape the
officers Falkenberg jumped the
pilot of through passenger train
which made no stop between Red
Wing and Lacrosse, a distance of
70 miles, and when found by
trainmen in the Wisconsin city
was frozen to the engine. He was
taken to Chicago, but Whittier
was on his trail day later and he
has been returned to the Red
Wing school, where it is probable
he has since been given a taste of
conclusive evidence as to the
methods Of punishment employed
in this state institution.

The man who makes money !

The man who makes money in
community has duty to per-
form in that community. It NAV
be that ne has made his money by
his superior business ability, and
that he would have done as well
anywhere. That does not alter
the case. If his gifts are great.
his responsibilities are equally as
great. No man was placed on earth
for the sole purpose of making
money, and the man who has this
as his ideal had better never been
born. It is not an act of charity
but the performance of a simple
duty for the man who has made
money to pass a little of it on for
the benefit Of the community, even
though he never expects to see a
dollar Of his contribution back.

SAM oORD0N's PLATFORM

SAM aoRDoN's PLATFORM |
Accompanying the announce
ment of Sam Y. Gordon that he
would become candidate for the
republican nomination for COVER
nor is declaration of the plat
form on which he goes before the
people that is not only unique
from a republican standpoint be-
cause it stickles for the interests
Of the people but which presents
to the special interests and to the
present administration a bold and
direct challenge, the "planks of
MIR. Gordon platform being set
forth in the following:
l. The absolute prohibition of
brewery ownership of saloons, the
chief cause for the grossest evils
of the liquor traffic, and the chief
source of brewery domination in
politics and public affairs, which
is at once the most subtle, the
most crude, the most sinister, and
the most mischievous force in the
public life of this commonwealth.
2. The adoption of the state
wide primary and the presidential
primary, to the end that bosses,
backed and financed though they
may be by the money of arrogant
selfish interests, shall be forced to
surrender their misused power to
the people, to whom it belongs,
and from whom it has been taken.
These measures should be accom-
panied by the further safeguard
of rigid and effective corrupt
practices act.
3. The adoption of the initia-
tive, the referendum and the re-
call, to the end that the people
shall have the closest possible con-
troll of governmental operations.
There is wide division of opinion
as to the wisdom of applying the
recall principle to judges, and as
this is in the experimental stage,
| do not believe that it should be-
come an issue in this state until
it has been tried by the states that
have adopted it.
4. A fair, honest and equit-
able Legislative reapportionment,
that shall do exact justice to all,
and that shall remove the gross in
justice Of the present Legislative
apportionment, and so end for all
time a sectional feeling from
which nothing but harm can come.
5. A reorganization of state
departments for economy and eff
ticiency, including the assembling
under one effective department of
all branches relating to the prop.
er care and development of the
states resources Of land, timber
iron ore, etc., and the settlement
of idle areas; together with a
rigid curtailment of the expenses
Of the state government, legisla.
tive and executive.
6. The ratification of the Fed.
eral income tax amendment.
7. Strict regulation of railroad
rates and service, that shall put
this state on an equality with its
neighbor states, and that shall
put every part of the state on the
same basis of fairness, will
special favors neither to individ
uals nor to communities.
8. A thorough readjustment
of railroad and other taxes, to the
end that each individual and eacl
industry shall pay according tc
its ability to pay, and not accord
ing to it's ability, through cunning
or the prostitution Of political
power, to shoulder a part Of its
just share of the tax burden up.
