Old Story Revived.

Mrs, Britain has become known dur
Ing the last few years TO evaneelistc
workers in and about Boston. In an
interview tonight she said that TO the
best of her belief Richeson was converted
to Mormonism while a student at William
jewell college In Liberty Mo-. from which
he was expelled In 1889. At that time
Richeson became attached 10 a young
woman, who now makes her home in Salt
Lake City To this young woman is due
Richeson's trend toward Mormonism.
Mrs Britain believes.
The affidavit, which was given out prior
to the interview, described some of the
meetings at which she said she had seen
Rtcheson, and concluded as follows:
Il have always considered Elder Clar-
ence V. 7, Richeson a mcnber Of the
Mormon organization.
while IL is not common, 1t Is not IN
usual to find the more educated of the
Mormon elders preaching In the pulpits
OF evangelical churches which baptize by
immersion"

Think It Over.

A Bemidji business man said yes
terday that although in many cases
he could get better service for his
money if he sent to the large cities,
he never sent an order out of Be-
midi that could be filled here. This
man believes that it is better for
himself as we'll as for the other fell
low to accept slightly inferior service
and have the money stay here than
to send it away and reap merely a
temporary advantage.
"My business in certain lines does
not amount to much, che said, "but
that little stays here. 1t is the
Littles' that count and go to make
prosperity. I want to see my neigh
bors prosperous. It is to my advant-
age also for then they will be able to
assume some of the tax burden that
! have to carry. It seems to me if
every Bemidji business was conduct
ed with the idea of keeping at home
every dollar possible and making it
work for bigger and better Be-
midi, we would all see a noticeable
increase in business; ''
= That sounds reasonable. Think it
over.

A College Education.

In the fall and in the spring many
people are asking what is the real
value of college education. They
ask why it is that a college education
is said to be good for a man or
women when college graduates are
not worth as much when they grad
uate as many men and women of no
education at all.
Dean Vance, of the college of law
at the University, has answered the
question in the following words:
"All these wordy efforts to fix a
cash valuation upon college training
are equally folish and entirely ignore
it's real significance in social econo-
nv. I once stood in great steel
plant and saw an immense steel in
got, weighing upwards of two tons
carted away after the long and ex-
pensive process by which it had been
changed from pig iron to carbon
of little value to steel Of great value.
s:In that state it could not be used
for anything. 1t was not even pref
ty to look at and was quite too heavy
to play with. A foolish person
might say that tackhammer was
Of more value than that steel ingot
because you could make some use of
a tackhammer, but not of the ingot;
but almost anyone would detect the
folly of such a remark. While that
ingot was not useful in it's present
form it constituted material out OF
which it was possible to make the
most valuable and useful machinery
"A man just graduated is not
worth anything in particular in most
cases. He is not at the moment OF
graduation as useful as the grocer's
boy. but he is splendid material from
which can be made the most valuable
kinds of workers for the use and ben
eft of society.
Every college graduate should re
cognize that generally speaking thu
increment of value due to his COLLEGE
training is merely potential. He i
merely splendid material ready to b.
made into something that is splendid
ly worth while. 1t is as foolish 70
him to expect to receive high wage
during the progress of being fashion
ed into something useful as it is TO
the business man to expect him to
something useful before life has tax
en- him and fashioned him for speci
f1c service"

Are Our Courts So Bad?

In his annual message as president
in 1906 Mr.. Roosevelt spoke with his
usual severity of what he alleged to
be THE habit of the courts of revers-
ing cases for technical reasons" re-
ferring especially to criminal cases
The complaint was based on the re-
lease by the Supreme Court of con-
victed men on the ground that the
acts proved were not crimes. which
was hardly technical reason.
The incident is of historic interest
because it seems to have given impe-
tus to the movement for the recall of
judges. The complaint has been in
dustriously reiterated ewes since. Even
the American Bar association was at
one time moved to sanction it.
I. J. Johnston, an eastern lawyer,
was moved to investigate the founda-
tons for this complaint 1t the time it
was made. He obtained the appellate
history of l45,5sl cases in which jury
verdicts were given in the same year
in New York county, in the states of
Vermont, Indiana. Alabama. North
Dakota and Washington. and in the
nine circuit courts of federal appeal
He prints summary in the New York
Sun.
And he finds that from the deci-
sions OF the courts of first instance in
these l4S.ssl cases there were only
3lol appeals and 7s4 reversals, for any
reasons. including technical ones.
The percentage of appeals was 2.l3,
and of reversals was .sl8. or one case
in 1893.
The popular argument for the recall
OF judges is the assertion that judges
continually" reverse the findings of
the jury, which is supposed to repre-
sent public sentiment" and in any
case in which public interest is acute
may be counted on to do so.
That can hardly be called "contin-
ua" or even frequent which happens
IN only one-half of one per cent of the
cases in which it might happen And
reversals have been given by judges
to jury verdicts in only that number
of cases tried in the courts of FIVE
representative states, the metropoli-
tan county Of another state, and in the
federal circuit courts. which cover
the entire country.
Mr.. Johnston further states that
only a small fraction of this small
traction OF reversals were upon what
any lawyer would call Technical"
grounds. In the great majority of
cases the judge interferred because it
was clearly shown that through the
influence of prejudice or the incom-
petence of counsel there had been
miscarriage of justice.
Mr. Johnston remarks that. prop ]

SCHENCK FAVORS MAIL OR.
DER HOUSES.

On another page will be found a
communication from Mr.. w. H.
Sehenck, which purports to reply to
an article which appeared in a recent
issue of The Tribune, wherein the pol
icy of buying from mail order houses
is questioned Stripped OF all mat
ter not germane to the subject Mr..
Schencks argument is about as fol-
lows: The people in town are not
producers, hence they are bloodsuck-
ers living off the toll Of the farmers;
the farmer cannot afford to feed and
clothe the do-nothings, hence don't
patronize them; saving can be made
by buying of the mail order house,
which Mr.. Schenck reckons to be
about IS per cent on the average.
Like a great many other people Mr..
Schenck assumes that the interests
OF the people living in town are inim
zeal to the interests of the people liv-
ing on the farm. Why this should be
neither he nor any one else ever at
tempts to explain. 1t is assumption
pure and simple and not at all we'll
founded The interests of Caldwell
and OF Deer Flat are identical. The
prosperity OF the one depends upon
the prosperity of the other to a great
extent. Caldwell was here and pros

mere and prosperous if Caldwell were
wiped out OF existence tomorrow. But
each is more prosperous by reason of
the other being here. The fact is so
paipaole as to need no further com.
ment. But let us look at the whole
question from a broader and more
sensible standpoint The merchant in
