CHAPTER Xxl.-Continued

Nothing OF a personal nature had
been allowed to help contribute TO this
success. No mention had been made
In the News OF the assault on its edi
tor in Mike Noonans lodging house
because to Wright it had appeared as
a personal matter The day previous
Gloria had denounced him and cried
aloud for vengeance, He recognized
that had Gloria not been mixed up in
the affair the result might have been
the same. but the personal element
Was what made him hold his peace.
The news that the day had been car
ried for good government was only a
temporary intoxicant. There were a
few moments of exhilaration when his
real feelings were submerged in the
general rejoicing that David Kerr had
been given more severe setback
than he had ever before received.
Then came the ebb of the tide leav-
ing him on the desolate shore OF dis
heartening uncertainty The past was
nightmare and the future a blanl-
The tumult and the cheers had died
away, the brass bands at last were
stilled, his sitting room with two win
dows on the street and its own private
entrance had been cleared OF tobacco
smoke. and the reception he had held
when it was learned the election had
gone his way was at an end. wnen
Joe Wright sat himself down alone in
the quiet of the first hours OF the
morning to take stock OF his future.

that any overtures he might make

that her prejudice was such that there

WITHDRAWAL OF RADiUM LANDS
Protested by Governor AZ Attempt to
Iniure State.


Iniure State.
Denver.-Colorado protested against
the proposal of Secretary OF the Inte-
rior Lane to withdraw all lands from
tie public domain, believed to contain
radium. Thomas X. Henahen, state
mine commissioner, addressed letter
to Secretary Lane protesting against
the plan, and Governor Ammons is out
spoken in his opposition. Mining men
throughout the state, it is thought, VIII
voice their objections.
III the plan becomes effective said
Eenahen, 1T will paralyze Colorados
most promising future resource-the
development of lands in the Paradox
valley and in Gilpin county, from
which radium now is extracted
Fear of monopoly of radium bear
ing lands by foreign capital is the
reason given by Secretary Lane for
his proposal to take the action. He
FONTS out that threefourths of the
radium produced in the world has
come from the United States and ex-
tractnd in Europe, and the biggest
field known is Colorado. With this
obliged to pay whatever price the
European chemists want to charge.
Only two grams, held at s24o,0co. can
be found in America. He wants to
shut off European chemists and spec
ulators until steps are taken to ex-
tract the element from the ores by
American chemists.
In q statement made by Commission
er Heuahen, he says that Secretary
Lanes proposal to guard against for
eign MONOPOLY Of the valuable ore Is
cCmmendabl BILE, but that Colorado Will
suffer the worst setback it has had in
the last two decades when develop
ment of mineral resources is con-

Saws Feeble Minded Should Not Wed.

Dcnver.-The sterilization Of all
feeble-minded, or. if this is not feas-
lille, the segregation of them on the
ground that recovery is Impossible for
this class, is the chief recommenda-
tion of Dr. A. p Busey, superintendent
of the State Home for Mental Defec-
tives, in the annual report of the in
stitution made to Governor Ammons.
Or. Busey declares, in support Of
his sympathy with the well-known
theory of scientists:
This unfortunate class accumulates
because it is impossible to restore a
feeble minded person to normal condi-
tion and by reason of the fact that he
cannot be restored he should be kept
in an institution indefinitely and not
be turned into the world as graduate
and permitted to marry and perpetu-
ate his kind.
Nln years gone by institutions for
this class of persons took pride in
graduating as many as possible and
would turn them out into the world
to multiply.
This error is being corrected as far
as possible by holding them indefinite
ly in institutions provided for their
care and protection.
1T is needless to relate how feeble
minded persons will multiply If given
the opportunity, as they are the most
prolific in reproduction of any class
known.
Therefore, colonization, steriliza-
ticn and other we'll known methods
should be authorized to check their
increase"
A bill. providing for law to fulfill
tie aims of the above recommends
tions, was drawn by DR.. Busey and in
troduced in the last Legislature, but
was killed.
Thirty-three inmates have been
cared for by the institution during the
last year, according to the report; OF
these twenty-three are men and ten
women.

STITuTiON HEADS LIST FOR
DEGREE or COMMON SENSE IN
NATION.

The Fargo college seniors are under
going d sever wedding OUT process
his year.
Fargo college is at the head of the
list Of institutions TO require a de
gree in common sense" sometimes
called the most uncommon sense in
the world.
The seniors have already undergone
a difficult spelling examination in
which some interesting facts were dis
closed. The boys evidently are bet
ter spoilers than the u ladies'.
Three hundred and forty-four words
were given by Miss True in about for
ty-five minutes. Out of this 344,, people
missed ron Is to 1873. Clarence Ran
som proved to be the champion of the
class, missing only Is of the total
number. He was followed in rank by
Miss Creep, with % missed, Will Gran
dal 26, Harry Haggart %, Lloyd Mus
burger 80. Miss leila Jacobson 3S, Miss
Lois Dart IS, Miss Ethel Symons 35.
The other seniors missed from SO to
129 of the 344 words.
1t is very probable that outside the
examination room, eliminating the
mental strain, a much larger percent
age would have been spelled correctly.
Some curious photographic princi-
pals were applied. Seven different
ways were discovered for spelling dys~
pepsia, eXhilerate, efficacious, mis-
ChieVouS and souvenir.
Seventeen words were missed by
nine Or more of the seventeen. Four
teen misSpeliCd oDerous, supersede,

ecstasy, geneology, liquefy, stratagem,

Besides spelling the graduates will
be compelled to be proficient in read
ing, especially aloud to an audience,
writing a legibIe hand land simple
principles of arithmetic.
1t is expected that when Dean Rob-
inson she finished this process with
the college seniors, they will be bet
ter fitted to meet the severe criticisms
of business men who discredit the abil-
ity of college men. At least they will
have a degree of common sense.
