S. r. MORSE. Editor.
EDUCATE AGAINST sELFIsHNEss.
RIVER FALLS.

=
Recently addressing body Of New
England students, Richard Olney, sec
rotary of state under President Cleve-
land, urged them to the duty OF sub
ordinating interests of their respective
future crafts to the highest claims OF
citizenship. Which is only another
way Of saying, that in educating our
young people we should teach them
first the art Of living, and second, what
ever art by which they are to live; that
is, that living comes before getting a
livelihood. The claims Of citizenship
are above those of any trade or profess
sion. Our schools that go in for the
vocational training, eminently good in
itself, need to look out lest they lay
the chief stress upon the matter Of
getting hold of technical knowledge as
the means of making a living. The
schools, none Of them, are teaching too
much about how to become good and
worthy citizens, how to make dyna-
mic men and women out of ordinary
boys and girls. There is the place for
the stress. That, we think, Is what Mr..
Olney had in mind when he urged
those students to sink selfish plans
for immediate ACKNOWLEDGMENT in the
larger purpose Of doing good and be-
ing good for their country, says the
Omaha Bee. For as sure as they do
they will have no difficulty in picking
up livelihood somewhere. So if our
curriculums could be made to teach
and throw their weight against selfish
ness in education our educational sys-
TEN would be improved right here.

Congress Receives Many Protests
From Cattle Breeders Against Any
Further Investigation.

Washington, May 19.-The cattle
breeders association of the west
and southwest intimately connected
with the packing interests, are max
ing final efforts to prevent a COM
plete investigation of the unhygienic
conditions that surround the slaugh-

is being flooded with protests against

Absolutely no doubt exists, how
ever, that in spite of these protests
the committee on expenditures in the
department of agriculture will order
a full and complete investigation.

Fredericks body was conveyed from
the Hamburg Hof hotel to the railway
station with full military honors. A

man infantry had been provided for
an escort and the soldiers were accom-
panied by the regimental band. The
troops carried cased colors of the
regiment in honor of the dead. The
streets were lined with solid masses

King Frederick VIII, accompanied

attendants, was on his way to the Ri
veria, where physicians had advised
him to go to recuperate from the ef-
fects Of a severe attack of influenza
and incipient pneumonia, OF which he
was recently the victim.
A long motor ride through the damp
air is believed to have brought on re-
lapse, and his insistence on walking
through the streets in the chill night
air, despite the entreaties OF his at
tendants, is thought to have aggra-
waited his condition.
Queen Louise Hysterical.
When Queen Louise was informed
that the body Of man OF rank, richly
dressed, had been found near the wa
ter front she became hysterical and,
| with a strange premonition OF evil, de-
cared that it was the king. No de-
scription of the body had been given
and members of the suite ridiculed the
idea that the body found almost at the
entrance of the docks was that OF
their sovereign
The body had been carried to pub
lie hospital ward, and after life was
declared extinct search revealed doc
uments Identifying it as that OF Count
Kronberg. This, although the local
authorities did not know it, was one OF
the kings titles and was adopted by
him as an incognito.
The instant that the queen entered
the barely furnished ward she recog-
nized the corpse as that OF her nus
band, and in a paroxysm OF grief
threw herself across the cot on which
the body lay.
Physicians fastened to her side and
she was led, sobbing, from the room.
Restoratives were applied and when
she became more calm she ordered
that the body be removed to the Ham
burg Hof hotel with all possible dis
patch.

TRIAL OF EDITOR

On May 7th, at Fort Scott, Kan,
three members of the editorial
staff of the Appeal to Reason.
Wayland, Phifer and Warren we're
placed on trial before Judge Pol
lock. The charge is that on April
20, 1911, the Appeal printed three
affidavits in which were set forth
the conduct of ex-Deputy Warden
Frank II. Lemon. 1t will be main
tained by the government that the
language used in these afidavits,
describing the actions of the ex-
deputy warden, was obscene and
therefore unmailable. The govern
ment does not dispute the truth
fulness of the statements set forth
describing condition of moral
depravity which you can find de-
scribed nowhere outside of Shakes
peare and the Bible itself. The
Appeal found 1t necessary to make
public the vile conditions existing
in the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth. AS a result of our
exposure a government investiga-
ton was instituted and radical
changes made in the prison man
agement. The strange spectacle
will then be presented at Fort
Scott of the editors of the Appeal
being tried for having told the
truth about the conduct of public
ofiicials.-From the Appeal.
The Appeal is socialist paper
with a circulation of half million
and it is claimed the prosecution
is made to cripple the paper and
to put it out of business.

IN MEMORIAM

Lucinda G. Wright, wife of A.
ID. Matthias, was born in Broadtop
City, Pa, May 20, 1855, died in
Monte Vista, Colorado, May 8,
1912. Had she lived until the
Goth of this month she would have
reached the age of 81 years. She
was one of family of eleven child
rem all of whom with her mother,
survive her; with the exception of
one brother.
On Feb. l, 1877, she was united
in marriage to A. d. Matthias, and
in September of the following
year the little family joined the
great tide of emigration then set
ting westward and founded new
home in Crawford county, Kansas.
From here again in 1900 the
family removed to the vicinity of
Monte Vista, where they have
since made their home. OF this
marriage five children were born,
all boys, and all were present to
assist in the last office of love
toward their mother, bearing her
sacred dust with their own hands
to its final resting place.
For some years Mrs. Matthias
had been afflicted with stomach
trouble which by its insidious
working gradually undermined her
strength so that toward the last of
January of the present year she
was compelled to take to her bed,
there to remain for more than 13
weeks, much of the time in great
suffering.

THE ONE GREAT INTEREST

The Interest" is a common
phrase among the people, but in
fact the word should be used in
the singular, for there is but one
interest that is all dominant and
powerful and that is the steel
trust. This trust is shown by the
evidence before the Stanley oon-
mittee to have capital and bond
ed power of over six billion dollars
and controls besides the steel bust
ness, steamships, railroads, express
companies, banks, telegraphs, oe-
ment aud other industries. One
section of it only is the actual steel
trust. That section alone has is-
sued bonds and stock to more than
a billion and half dollars and is
collecting from the people interest
on nearly billion dollars, which
does not represent one dollar of
investment.
The steel trust has 90 directors
and officers, who are also directors
and officers in other corporations
representing 25 billions of dollars.
These figures are so vast that they
are beyond the power of the human
mind to grasp in their full signiti-
canoe.
This combination was organized
in 1901, and began it's career while
Roosevelt was president. 1t was
protected all through his two
terms and after that until the
present time under the admins
tration of Taft. Its formation and
growth have been wholly within
the administrations of Taft and
Roosevelt and the government un-
der their administrations is res
ponsible for it.
Those are the facts now known
to all intelligent men. The %
directors of the trust, being also
directors in nearly all the great
corporations, banks, insurance COM
panies and railroad combinations,
do in fact exercise a directing
power over nearly all business and
control the destinies of the people.
The vision of Ignatius Donnelly
in his celebrated work Caesars
Column" is almost realized.
