THE LOBBY INVESTIGATION.

When President Wilson issued his
warning to the American people, con-
corning the existence at Washington
of an 'insidious lobby" working
against free wool and sugar, a howl of
derision went up from the organ Of
the interests" and not a few Of the
s~ober-minded citizens of the nation
were inclined to look with skepticism
Upon the presidents statement. The
beginning of the s~enate's Investigation
did not give promise of anything to
support Mr.. Wilson, and the derision
of the interests became paeans of
triumph. r..
But a change. has come over them.
The trail of the. lobbyist has been
struck. and each days developments
make 1t more clear that the, man in
the White House has facts to- back up
his assertions.
Henry T. Oxnard, the chief repre-
sentative of the anti-free sugar forces,
and T. B. Palmer, his worthy assist
ant, have been shown as spending
thousands of dollars every year to lin

against relief from oppressive tariff
duties.
And not only did they influence the
individual members but their argu-
ments were potent enough to enable
them to relieve the republican cam
paign committee of the task Of writing
that party's argument on the G
question as presented in the campaign
book of last year.

COLLEGE

Measuring the value of a college
education in dollars and cents must
always be a somewhat elusive task,
owing to the inability to ascertain
what a given individual could &C
complish with or without the schol-
astic training. Successful self-made
men of a past generation were fond
of boasting Of what they had been
able TO do without a book education,
but the forging to the front of the COL
lege man gradually pushed to the rear
n without such training.
But In the past few years there has
developed a tendency to decry the
taking Of a full college education, vo-
cational schools being ! one of the
means employed to shunt the youth
off the main line, The anxiety to get
into active life, even when the parents
are able to send the child to school
as long as desirable, has been a con-
tributing factor, the last two years
necessary to complete a college course
being begrudged as a handicap by the
young man in a hurry to set the world
on fire.
An estimate of the value of a COM
plete college course has been made by
an Illinois school, the conclusion
reached being hat for forty years Of
active 1ife the ollege-trained man
would be a gamer by $4,000. The
figures were arrived at by taking the
class of 1908 as a basis, it being found
that the average annual earning power
of the men of the class was $1,S62
for the past five years. Now the
average earning capacity of the Chi
cago salaried nan is placed by the
census department at $1,000, the diff
ference between the two average
salaries for forty years. making the
total gain for the college man.
There can be no question about the
assistance which a full college course
is to a man surrounded by modern
conditions. The years of training, to
use a very old illustration. are like
the exercise of the athlete, even
though moi a line of the books is
found directly seryicable in real life.
Those who can complete a school cur
riculum are given a comprehensive
grasp Of subjects which usually comes
to the un~educated only by painful ex-
perience.
b young man who can complete
g college course before entering upon
q business or professional career has,
at n rate, q dying start denied to
those less fortunate.

fairs at the bungalow. Things come
out all right in the end. but before the
sun shines upon a calm matrimonial
sea the house has had an opportunity
of enjoying a bunch of fun through
the domestic tangles of the family at
Ormond Beach. AS the widow, Miss
Wilson cleverly fills the part. There
is that blending of the soberness and
gaiety that n looks for and then she
acts as an excellent foil for the whim-

Nonsense song and too-ridiculous pat

sings them capitally. In the former he

also dances gracefully. Inez Girard,

effect, particularly in the quintette in

which n other vocalists are Miss
wilson, H. 7. Shannon, C.. r. McKin-
ney and Guy Voyer. Mr.. Mckinney is
the excitable, over-of-pedigree man

Still NEEDED
JOHN INGALLS,, WELL KNOWN
CROP EXPERT, TALKS ON CON-
DITloNS-W. j. HILL TALKS ON
CONDITIONS ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE LINE.

A heavy soaking rain is what
the farmers of North Dakota need
according to John Ingalls,. the well
known crop expert who is spending
a few days in this section. He
stated that while the conditions in
this state were not serious that a
good rain was needed and would he
needed very badly before long. He
said that the rains of the past week
have done much good but have not
gone far into the soil and as a result
the grain nea the soil is being baked
by the hot sum-. He came from Fargo
yesterday.
This view bears out the statement
of farmers in this vicinity who de-
clare that rain will soon be badly
needed. Reports last night said that
Grafton, Langdon, Churehs Ferry and
Bottineau had received rain but 1t
was not very heavy. The barometer

from now on Minnesota can only have
a fair crop. Without rain soon 1T will

Summer Heat Dangerous to Little
Ones whose Bowels are
Neglected.,

A mother cannot do better for her
children than to teach them from their
earliest days regularity of the bowels.
Regularity can be promoted without
the child knowing it by watching its
food n by so. varying the food that
all the elements Of digestion are used,
when nature will do the rest. The flu
ture health of the child depends upon
this.
But try as. you will there are times
when the little one will become con
stipated and bilious. In hot weather
immediate attention is necessary. as
many serious diseases result from
stuffed-up bowels. Don't give salts or
cathartics or ~purgatives, as they are
too harsh. but give a gentle, pleasant
tasting bowel stinulant like DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t has been used
by the children of this as well as a
former generation, and thousands of
families are proud to speak well of 1t,
