CONSERVATION IS MADE AN
ISSUE BY COL. ROOSEVELT

st. Paul, Minn.-Another plank in
the platform on which Col. Roose-
welt is to fight out his campaign was
brought forth in a speech which he
made here last night. Taking as
his subject "The Welfare of the
Farmer" he said the movement for
converting the country's natural re-
sources and for helping the better
ment of country life had not been
carried Forward in the period since
the end of his administration. He
advocated a policy of governmental
activity in this direction.
Col. R~oosevelt's address was de-
livered towards the close of the day
in which he Travelled cro Iowa and
a part of Minnesota and made a do
zen speeches. ION reaching St. Paul,
he conferred with political supports
ers and In the evening went to the
auditorium, where he made his prin-
cipal speech of the day. He then
went to Minneapolis to make a short
speech before starting for Chicago.
At Cedar Rapids, Vinton, Water
loo, Cedar Falls and Rockford, in
Iowa, and at Owatonna, Faribault
and Mortified, in Minnesota, he
spoke from the train. At Albert
Lea, Mimi, he left his train to adj
dress an open air meeting of such
size that many persons were un-
abe to get within earshot of the
speaker.
The impromptu meetings at the
railroad stations were among the
largest of Col. Roosevelt's tour
through the middle west, and on no
previous day did he find the crowds
more demonstrative. In these
speeches Col. Roosevelt repeated his
arguments in favor of the control of
the government by the people in
stead of by a representative part of
the people," which, he said, always
meant the bosses. At Albert Lea
he discussed the tariff, re-affirming
the position which he has previously
taken in favor of regulation of tar
if schedules by a commission.
A delegation from St. Paul and
Minneapolis met Col. Roosevelt at
Albert Lea and escorted him to the
Twin Cities. A crowd and a band
met him at the station here. After
his speech In the auditorium, he was
taken by automobile to Minneapolis
for the meeting there.

A Few "Don'ts" for the Men

Grace Margaret Gould. the fash
ion editor of the Womans Home
Companion. writes an article in the
February number of that periodical
on the subject What Men Are
Wearing" Talk about the fads
and frivolties of womens dress"
says Miss Gould Surely the men
are not far behind with their infini-
tesimal stlye changes which they
follow with such serious precis-
ion "
Before going on to tell what is
stylish for men this year the author
points out a few errors that are
fatal Following are the "don'ts"
she lays down:
" Never refer to your evening
coat as a swallow-tail or dress coat.
To-day is it known and known only,
as the tail coat.
BE sure to remember that the
plain black cloth waistcoat for even
ing wear is an unknown quantity.
And, by the way. vest" is a word
that is no longer in the smartly
dressed mans vocabulary. 1t is an
obsolete term.
Don't speak OF the coat for in
formal evening occasions as the
Tuxedo. If you do. you brand your
self as well as your clothes as hope
lessly out of date. The Tuxedo is
now referred to as the dinner
jacket.
"'Of course You would never
commit the error OF wearing
black waist-coat and turn-down
collar with the tail coat.
Neither are you apt to be SO
hopelessly ignorant OF things fash
ionable as to wear white tie, ana
a shaped one at that, with your
dinner Jacket.

Skull and wife, an aged couple. were
found almost destitute. sick and
helpless, by County Physician Dr.
A. c. Mccain yesterday and today
he started for their claim to bring
them to the county hospital. Mrs.
Skull, who has done the heavy work

paralyzed from the waist down, is
very i'll with rheumatism. In conse-
quence the old pepole have been al
most at the point of starvation and
unable to get word of their condi-
tion to their neighbors. About
seven years ago Mr.. Skull was in
jured when a loaded beet wagon
fell on him. For time after they
lived in Denver and then hoping to
get little home sold their small
belongings and settled on the claim.
Always cheerful and hopeful they
have been an inspiration to their
neighbors. They have seldom ask

AMERICAN CHILDREN DO NOT
MIND AS WELL AS FOREIGN

DR., Roger Dennee, a specialist
in the diseases of children in New
York City, is writing an interesting
series of articles in the Woman's
Home Companion on the daily rou-
tine, habits and discipline of child
zen. In an article on The Healthy
Baby in the February number he
says in part:
Lack of discipline is an Ameri
can weakness. You cannot imagine
the humiliation with which l have
listened to foreign-born mothers of
my charity patients say, But he is
like the American child, he does not
mind
"A child's training begins dur
ing his first week of his life; and,
unless he has learned the meaning
of discipline at home where it is
kindly meant. it goes hard with him
by the time he gets out into the
world. A child's naughtiness is
punished because if it is allowed to
go on he will not be happy himself,
and he will be the cause of unhap-
piness in others.
From the very first a baby who
| is picked up every time he cries
recognizes the lack of discipline
| ne cries 10 dllTGtt II IL
| about the only thing he knows how
to do. He is held more and more
each day until he ruins his health
| by lack of sleep and too much
handling and spoils the pleasure OF
his parents. Now, if we only play
with him a little before his feedings
or during his afternoon recreation
hour. he will become accustomed to
being taken up and laid down as we
wish. and it will never occur to
him to expect it at any other time
There are several particular.
trying periods in a child's training
One of them is at eight or nine
months, when he is particularly in
sistent upon having his way. He has
really just discovered that he is ar
individual with will. He wants
something on the table and reaches
for It, Mother takes it away from
him. and he picks up the next
thing. Mother takes this away, and
the same performance is repeated
until there is nothing left. Then he
cries until Mother gives it back to
him to keep him quiet.
What Mother should have done
is to put up her finger and say No.
If he tries it again, as he is liable
to do. his chair is turned back to
the table, SO that he may know his
mfsbehavior has been punished. II
is wonderful how soon he learns to
stop when told to do So"

ARE THE PEOPLE FITTED FOR
SELF GOVERNMENT?

President Lincoln said:
This country, with its institu-
tions. belongs to the people who in
habit it. Whenever they shall grow
weary of the existing goevrnment.
they can exercise their constftu-
tional right of amending 1t. or their
revolutionary right to dismember
or overthrow it. ." Why
should there not be patient con
fidence in the ultimate justice or
the people? Is there any better OF
equal hope in the world?"
President TAFT says:
There are those OF US who do
not believe that all people are fitted
for popular government. The fact
is, we know they are not Some Of
us do not dare say SO, but l do. .
]" We are called upon now. We

going to protect the institution OF
the judiciary. and continue 1t fnde-
pendent of the majority. or Of all
the people"
Senator Penrose says:
"If the 90,O00,O0O people Of this
country were to be called together,
l do not believe they would be any
better able to frame a constitution
than would the inhabitants of the
Philippine islands"
Theodore Roosevelt says:
with Lincoln, l hold that this
country, with its institutions. be-
longs to the people who inhabit it.
Whenever they shall grow weary of
the existing government, they can
exercise their constitutional right
of amending it Many
eminent lawyers believe, and some
times assert. that the American
people are not fitted for popular
and that it is necessary
to keep the judiciary independent

pie take absolute issue with all
who hold such position. l regard
1t as a complete negation of our
whole system of government.

the American people are fit for COM

BROKEN BY ARREST OF
GANGS

Houston, Tex, March 1l.-A few
weeks in the wake of an influx of
letters from spain to several peo-
pie In Houston asking monetary
aid to retrieve some great for
tunes, comes the news that a gang
has been arrested and broken up
in Spain, which for ten years has
perpetrated the Madrid swindle"
all over the world One of the
men taken into custody during the
raid at Bilboa was the ring leader
of the gang who has secured inter
as the Spanish prisoner. This
title was given him because the
letters sent out by him and his
agents apparently were written
from some Spanish prison.
All the letters recently received
by people of Houston were of the
same tenor. Each letter was writ
ten apparently in Spanish prison
and told at length of the imprison-
ment of the writer who was heir to
millions in gold if he could secure
his release. The writer appealed
TO the addressee that if he would
forward certain sum to him to
buy his release from prison he
would show his appreciation by di-
vidtne half the fortune. which he
named. Immediately upon release
from prison.
One method which "the Spanish
prisoner" worked apparently to the
greatest success followed the close
of the Spanish American war. His
operations first attracted public at
tention after the war when certain
spanish soldiers, who had been
quartered in Cuba began to receive
MYSTERIOUS letters. The gist and
nature of the letters was that fair
American heiress, whose brother
had. been in Cuba, had often heard
her brother speak of the addressee.
until she began to entertain for him
tender affection: and would he
not send her his photograph.
Usually the youthful. romantic
Spaniard. although not remember
ing the brother, complied with the
request. Then succeeded a cores
pondence, which usually developed
the fact that the girls brother had
died. and that she had been left
with her great wealth without any
protection but a wicked guardian,
who would force her to marry him
so that he might become possessed
of her fortune. "Oh' for only few
hundred dollars" that she might
fly to her Spanish lover, who would
know how to thwart the wicked
guardian! Usually the son of Spain
fell into the trap. All over Spain
there are sad-eyed youths waiting
for the appearance of talr ana
Wealthy American senoritas.
