Wilson's Views on Life.

Washington, D. c., May l9.-- President Wilson, ill presenting an American flag today to dele Sation of ~ school boys from San Francisco, made a little speech in which he said:
 II dare say you think that schoOlmasters are often a bit hard on you in requiring you to do things. in order that you may pass the tests of the school, but l want to warn you that when you get out of the school you are go- ing to have harder schoolmasters than you had before.
 "The world requires that we make good, no matter what hap pens, and the man who does things amounts to a great deaI more than the manw hO wishes he had done things and wht promises he will do things. The men I am sorry for are the men who stop and think that they have accomplished something before they stop at the grave itself. You have got to have your second wind in this world and keep it up un- til the last minute"

 ing, Move to Quash.

Boston, May I9.--The trial of President Wood and others, Law renee. .woolen mill owners. charG- ed with having 'planted: sticks of dynamite in order to incite anti strike feeling, commenced. today |and the attorneys for the accused mill owners moved to quash the indictment because the planting of thef;dypamite, they. y.claim, is not a crime.
 The company hired men to place sticks of dynamite about the works and when discovered the blame was placed on the striking mill workers and public sentiment was thus manufactured against the strikers, who were badly beat ell in thesriOts which followed and several women and children were shot by the police and citizens for which .Ettor was recent ly tried and acquitted.
 The men who made the plant have confessed and will testify against the mill owners.

 His Investigations, he reported, showed that dance halls were leading cause of he downfall of good girls who attended the dances after a days work and mingled will women better dress ed, with plenty of money, who, acting as prOcurers. would induce the young girls [" enter lives of shame. holding out the induce ment of plenty of fun and money and no more hard work over the counter or in the factory.
 The massage parlor>, he as serted. were also stepping stones to the downfall of girls.
 !. The most startling part of his report deals with the traffic i'll girls for houses of illfame all ov- CT the country. who. acting to- @ether. would secure girls who lived in one city and send them Ir :l:uses in other cities, where they could not be discovered. This rnnibil;r extended in Alaska. says Kneeland.
 The Rockefeller bureau was or Eanized soon after the recent special grand jury because of the information laid before that jury of which young J. D. Rockefeller was foreman. He furnished the money for the investigation and the bureau will issue reports as fast as they are obtainable. Oth- CT investigators are w0rkin" in boroughs of the city and start ling results are expected.

NEW YORK TAXI RATES LESS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Beginning
today you can hop into a taxi in New
York city and ride considerable dis
tance without having to give the
chauffeur your watch, rings and a
mortgage on the old homestead for
payment. Sweeping reductions in the
rates are included in the new law
which went into effect today. One
part of the new regulations prohibits
the use of unfit hacks and irrespon-
sible drivers" An entirely new sys-
tenn Of registering for licenses by
prospective chauffeurs and drivers be-
comes effective. BY the new system
the taxi patron may feel assured that
he is not being "chaufeured" by a
thug. yeggman, pickpicket or escaped
convict-which he couldn't be certain
of before today. All taximeters will
be inspected regularly. in some in
stances daily and the chauffeur who
runs up" his taximeter on a custo-
mer, is liable to heavy fine or a
Jail penalty, or both. Because of the
frequency with which dishonest chauf-
feurs formerly got patrons, inebriated
and otherwise, to ride on the front
seat with them under various pre-
texts, and then rob them, both the
passengers and chafYeur are liable to
fine if the former rides outside with
the driver.

tion of the present boat racing sea-
son, has been entered in the Missis-
sippi Valley Power Boat association
races to be held in Keokuk, Aug. 26,

trials few days ago and fifty-five
is expected.

kuk. This boat participated in the in
ternational elimination trials at Hunt
ington bay, winning over all other con.
testants for the English races, but il

LONDON, Aug. dispatches from
Bangkok, capital of Siam. carry the
report that the present king will shat
ter all traditions of his ancestors and
have only one wife. Left legacy of
CUn widows and the right as heir to
the throne to have as many wives as
his father before him had, the present
king, who was educated at Oxford,
England, will not indulge in that
doubtful pleasure of having more than
one belpmeet. Siam, the dispatches
tell, is experiencing radicacl change
in government and social life. The
young king has inaugurated at least
enc custom that is making great
hi5 with his subjects in building the
ater.; in several large cities of MS
kingdom, which are being run by the
government. No attempt will be made
to make money on the project, the
cost of admissions being kept at Il
figure which will assure the perina-
nency of the drama. The king has
adapted number of English and
French plays and operas to Siam. One
of the kings theatrical companies is
now rehearsing Siamese transla-
toin of one of George Bernard Shaw's
plays. Later on, the king intends to
tell, is experiencing radical change
open negotiations with several French
and American moving picture cno-
Germs with the idea of establishing q

POWER COMPANY IN COURT.

DENVER, Colo, July 31.-The right
of the government to control power
sites and water rights, and to force
individuals and corporations to bow
to ite will in the matter of taking out
permits and paying fees for the use
of government lands, will be fought
out in a case which began in the
United States district court here to-
day The government is trying to
force the Central Colorado Power
company to take out permits from the
forestry service before it use the for
est lands. 1t is alleged that Colo
RADIO is rapidly drifting into "the
arms of the power octopus" and that
the state through its law officers, is
unwttingly aiding and abetting the
great eastern power concerns by in
teivening in the case and asking to
he heard against the government.
The entire issue of the government
and states rights will be involved be-
fore the case is finished and if the
government is successful it is under
stood that similar court proceedings
will he Immediately instituted in a
half dozen other western states. The
government contends that it is mere
ly acting as protector of the state
and the individuals and that it is
trying to prevent monopoly of nat
ural resources from which the state
of Colorado should receive huge an
nual income. The state has come
into the case, it is alleged through the
influence of politicians who are IA
vorable to the monopolist power con-
Germs.
