Repeated Her Trip.

When the first passenger train ran
over the recently completed Duluth
Twin City line of the 500 road, in
terest centered in Mrs. Harriet Jones,
IS years old, who made that trip Sc
years ago with her husband, Rev.
James Peet, Duluth's first minister.
1t was a nine days trip over what
was then called "the lonesome trail,
and she was the first white woman
to make the journey. She repeated
it a few days ago in luxurious OBJ
servation car as the guest of the
railroad, and a reception was given
to her when she arrived.-Springheld

Made Home in Grainoman's Bath.

A combination bath room and
chicken coop was found by Inspector
Mauldin at the home of Grainoman,
229 Crew street, and the latter was
araigned in police court SATURDAY
morning for violating section 1896
of the city code, which relates 10
sanitary conditions.
The inspector told the court that
he found chickens roosting every
where in the bath room, and they
we're housed and fed in there Just
like they were in coop in the yard.
And how anyone could battle in such
a place he said he couldn't under
stand.
Grainoman admitted all this, but
said they were his wife's Chickens
and he wished the court would get
her to move them.
Suppose you can't take a bath
without getting feathers on your
legs" remarked the court.
The man then told the court that
his wife seemed to care more for her
chickens than she did for him, and
a while back when he was sick IN
bed she wouldn't even give him
chicken soup.
The case was dismissed, and a case
ordered made against Mrs. Graino-
man. who will have to explain Mon
day to the court why her bath room
was made a chicken roosting place.

AS MEASURE OF SAFETY

For the purpose Of adding another
measure OF safety TO the regulations
concerning the automobile a number Of
cities have adopted ordinances for the
purpose Of restraining the misusers OF
The auto horns. The desired object
is less noise and more safety. New
Jersey has long been the battle-ground
for automobile legislation and only re-
Gently passed a law against the muffier
cut-out in towns and cities, much the
same as in this state.
Newark has been greatly bothered
BY the careless and indiscriminate use
Of the automobile signals a source of
much annoyance from the standpoint
of noise. The ordinance adopted there
requires that every automobile shall
be equipped with an adequate signal
and defines such a signal as one pro-
ducing an abrupt note. sufficiently
loud to be heard under all conditions
OF traffic" but restricts its use to times
when it is necessary as a warning
OF danger" The purpose in obviating
the needless noise evil and restricting
the signal for the purpose of safety. Is
one which has the sanction Of all rea-
sonable motorists as we'll as the gen.
eral pubic. This keeps the horn with
in the use intended for it and instead
Of being used simply to make a racket
and attract attention II the public
knows that the foot of horn indicates
danger 1t will be better prepared to
avoid accidents; whereas the senseless
use Of sirens, horns and squawkers
may mean anything from hilarious 10Y

IDEAS OF PLAIN MAN

but some molecules that have come
closer together. After a while the
meeting breaks up, the members ad-
journ, and go home or depart to form
other assemblies. The iron rusts, the
wood burns, the glass skaters and
dissDlves. So apples rot, trees fall and
become soil, soil becomes flowers, flow
ers pass to fruit. fruit joins the con-
vocation we call Man. which by and by
returns to dust again.
For Man Is but a temporary Organ
ization, composed Of delegates from
Oxygen county, Hydrogen district, the
state Of Nitrogen. and the cities Of
Carbon, Phosphorus, and the like.
Those busy gentlemen arrive by the
door Of the Mouth and the Highway Of
the Throat, and meet in Stomach lob
by and Intestine corridors, there get
their orders and go each to his place,
sailing through arterial canals. some

others as bone or hair or skin or eye
lens or finger nail. They are elected
only for time: their term Of office
expires when their successors arrive,
and off they go back again to Earth
and Air and the grimming Sea
These little molecules, or call them
! atoms, or integers, are the real People.
We are Assemblies; when we meet

BEE TRUST BREAK UP.

The announcement made by the Ma
tienal Packing company, the s15,ee0,
geo beef combination, that 1t will vel
UNFAIRLY dissolve by the Hrst of August
relieves the government of a task Of
causing 1t to disintegrate and the veil
untary action of the trust indicates
that it Is desireus of overcoming the
inevitable In a peaceful manner. When
the government lost its criminal suit
against the packers for violation of the
Sherman law everything locked rosy
for the meat men until the civil suit
was threatened and that brought
forth an indication that congress in
tended to push it.
The criminal suits brought out that
there was a combination of the pack
ers for the control and regulation Of
their business and the intention now
to wind up that trust is an admission
of illegality or they would not hesitate
to fight it. BY gaining the advantage
of a friendly dissolution the terms
lie between themselves, which is likely
to be more favorable than might be the
dictates of the court. The suit will not
be withdrawn by Attorney General
Wickersham until he is satisfied that
the combination has been broken up
and that the law is not being violated.
1t will require some close following Of
the steps taken and a well detailed
statement of the action to satisfy that
the trust has ceased to be. This evil
dence the government should insist on
before it drops its suit.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO,

Despite the excitement which is at
tracing the attention Of the country,
President Taft is giving his close at
tention to the business which confronts
him and his judgment is not DETECTED
in the least by the other interests. He
did as he was expected to in applying
his veto to the army appropriation
bill. 1t Is not because of the exorbitant
expenditure for the army that he re-
fused to sign the bill, for the expendi-
lures have been cut down rather than
increased, but he made it plain that
one Of the chief objections he has to
1t is the provision which legislates
Major General Wood from office, and
and the disregard for recommendations
of government officials.
The taking up Of such matters of
legislation and injecting them into ap-
preparation bills is not the proper way
to conduct the business. He calls at
tention to "the fact that a single pro-
vision Of the bill can cause such seri-
Gus consequences offers further evil
dence of the unwisdom of a method
which deprives legislation of it's usual
safeguards of scrutiny and discussion. /"
The intention was to carry through
this rider with the important matter
Of the money for the army. 1t did
not work and it ought not to any
more than the disposal of the COM
merce court by the same method. and
the president will doubtless veto the
legislative, judicial and executive ap-
preparation bill. Other presidents have
found it necessary to do so before and
congress will now have to get busy
and thrash it out properly.

rAEr FORCES CONTROL

Some idea of the fight which the
Roosevelt men have been preparing
for is to be gained from the conduct
in the opening day of the convention.
Tbsre were the same kind of tactics
which characterized the campaign with
cries Of thief and plenty of bluff and
oluster, but it was found that Taft
possessed sufficient delegates to con-
troll the organization by the choice Of
Elihu Root as temporary chairman.
This indication of strength with 55S
votes to 502 shows the preference Of
the delegates. Is others having scat
tered their votes or did not vote.
Shortly before the convention open
cd a coalition effected by the Roose-
welt managers with the LaFollette
forces brought Governor McGovern of
Wisconsin as the compromise candI-
date for temporary chairman by the
combined progressives. This strength
ened Roosevelt by %, the remainder
Of the Wisconsin and North Dakota
delegates scattering their votes. If
LaBollette drops out on promises of
being backed four years hence he will
be doing what he has always main
tanned would never happen. His dele
gates will stand by him, but not all
viii go for Roosevelt. 1t is surprising
that LaFollette should sanction any
support whatever OF Roosevelt. after
the treatment he has received.
The advantage Of the organization
was an important point gained by the
Taft forces and Senator Root will be
the permanent chairman. Many of the
delegates who supported him cannot
because OF instructions. vote for the
president, but while this applies to Hi
nois and Maryland, Hawaii and dels-
gates in other states will return to
the president in accordance with their
Instructions. Senator Root set well
before the delegates the duties in
volved ut the convention and laid
stress upon unison and adherence 20
constitutional government.
AS forerunner of what NAV be ex-
pected today. the opening of the con-
vention gave promise of plenty of life
and action and the nomination Of
President Taft for a second term.

CREAM OF AMERICAN ATHLErEs.

CREAM OF AMERICAN ATHLETES.
Speeding across the Atlantic to the
Olympic contests and at the same time
keeping up their training, is a ship
load of athletes, the pride of America.
They are bound for Stockholm, to
compete in an international contest in
athletics, probably the most elaborate
exhibitions ever arranged. Those who
will compete represent the best of their
respective countries and a magnificent
contest should be the result America
sends the best she had in athletic abil-
ity, lusty young men. who were not
selected by favoritisrn, but because
they excelled in open competition in
running, jumping, vaulting, weight
throwing, swimming, craftsmanship,
riding, and, in fact, practically all
the outdoor games for individuals COM
mon to the country. The country has
confidence in their ability, though far
from home to give a good account of
themselves and bring home victory.
All sections of the country are repre-
scented, and there is just pride in the
American boys who make up the team
In bodily culture, which has been a
part Of their training. and a part of
the educational system of the country,
they represent the top notch of devel-
opment in muscle and nerve.
The team from this side will be able
to show that all is not devoted to
money making endeavors, and that the
instinct for victory, whether it be
in business or athletics, is just as keen
as among the nations on the other side
of the water and should this prove
true with the present team of athletes
there remains the consolation for them
that the chips of the old block are not
disgracing the stock from which they
came.
