CUMMINs DECLARES HIMSELF.
Says End Must be Put to Unfair
Competition of Foreign
Countries.

Washington, d. c., Feb. o.
"The saloon must CO. Sobriety must
be the ruiz of conduct for the fu-
ture,'' said United States Senator
Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, men
toned as republican presidential
possibility, in outlining the vital
problems which confront the Ameri-
can people.
Mr.. Cummins listed some of the
present day needs as follows:
"A new tariff law, which will put
an end to unfair competition of for
eign countries by imposing duties
which are high enough to allow our
producers to enter and hold our
markets, realize fair profit on the
sale of their commodities and low
enough to prevent the exactions of
undue prices without inviting the ri
valry from abroad.
Labor Supervision Needed.
"A careful and continuous super
vision of the field of industry in or
der to make it sure that the COM
petitive forces in business are pre-
served. This means that big business
must stop short of monopoly; that
1T must halt its growth before it
reaches the point of suppression OF
effective competition.
Excessive hours of labor must
cease If we would maintain our
standard of citizenship and the
workingman must know that the
law is his friend.
THE saloon must go. Sobriety
must be the rule of conduct for the
future.
"The small borrower must have
his opportunities widened. We have
reached a time when the agricultur-
al output must be increased by eX-
tending to the farmer more and bet
ter facilities for production.
Must Unlock the West.
I'VE must unlock the west, not to
the mere promoter of monopolies.
but to the seller and improver. Con-
servation can be attained without
denying the people OF the western
states the right to grow.
81 believe in reducing the arma-
ment of the world, but until this is
accomplished the United States must
be kept strong enough SO that every
other nation will know that we can
and will resist any unjust demands
and enforce our honorable rights"
Senator Cummins, who has been
urged to run for the presidency on
the republican ticket has steadfastly
refused to encourage his supporters.

IMPORTANT EVENT
FOR LUTHER COLLEGE
New Articles of Incorporation for
Luther College Were Singed
on Feb. II.
THE OLD ARTICLES WERE
SIGNED so YEARS Ago
President G. X. Preus Signed the
Present Articles, and His Father
Signed the Previous Ones
Half Century Ago.

A meeting of more than ordinary
interest was held on the first of the
present month by the Board of Trris-
tees of Luther College. The meeting
was called for the purpose of signing
new articles of Incorporation, the old
articles signed on Feb. /, 1865 hav-
ing expired. The members of the
present Board of Trustees, whose
duty it was to draw up and sign the
articles of Incorporation are:-Prof.
c. X. Preus, President; Prof. l.. S.
Reque, Secretary; HI. B. Hustvedt,
Treasurer; DR.. T. Stabo, Rev. Kr.
Kvammes Hon. A. III. Grindeland,
Hon. A. HI. Dahl, and C. A. Erstad.
Rev. H. A. Preus, Thore Peterson
of Calmar and Gulbrand r. Lowmen
of Decorah were the incorporators on
Feb. /, so years ago. Rev. H. A..
Preus was then first elected presi-
dent of the corporation and signed
the articles as such. His son c. K.
Preus is the president of the corpor-
alton now and signed the articles as
such. The signatures were so years
ago acknowledged before the late
Judge G.. r. Willett,. now it was done
before his son, Atty. Norman Willett.
The articles were in both cases filed
on Feb. II. The meeting of the pres
ent board was held in the presidents
Office in the college building. Fifty
years ago 1t was presumably. held in
the st. Cloud Hotel, which was at
that time used as the school build
ing.
Quite change has taken place
in the affairs of the college since
then. Only two of those who in the
first articles of Incorporation are
named as officers are alive. These
are, DR.. l.. Larson, now confined to
his bed in the Decorah hospital and
Rev. N. Brandt, who is spending his
declining years at the home of his
Son-ln-iaW, frOI. Il. .. Reque. TWO
OF those who were students at the
college at that time are now connect
ed with Luther College. These are,
Prof. c.. X. Preus and Prof. l.. s.
Reque.
The college then owned and used
the brick building west of the st.
Cloud Hotel and was then known by
the name of "Hattehe'.
The street between the st. Cloud
Hotel and the old court house serv-
ed the boys as campus, the main di-
version being tugs of war. The only
thing remaining of the old court
house now are the two pillars at the
entrance to the college campus, sup
porting the arch.

SENATOR ENGER's NEW BILL.
Census Bureau EmplOye Urges Vital
Statistics Law. Enger Measure
Provides $4,000 ApprO-
priatiOn.

DR.. F. l.. Watkins special agent
for the bureau of census at Washing
ton, appeared before the senate COM
mittee on public health Thursday
urging favorable action on a bill by
Senator Enger of Decorah providing
for the establishment of bureau of
vital statistics.
Two club women, Mrs. A. Marston
of Ames, chairman of the child well
fare committee of the ID. A. r., and
Mrs. A. j. Barkley of Boone, chair
man of the legislative committee of
the d. A. r., also attended the meet
ing. They did not address the COM
mittee.
The bill was introduced by SEN
ator Enger on the last day for filing
appropriation measures. 1t provides
for an appropriation of $4,000. 1t
is his intention to offer a substitute
asking for an appropriation of only
$4,000, and changing the provisions
to a marked degree.
DR.. Watkins told the committee
that Iowa, Alabama and Arkansas
were the only states in the union
which had not taken steps to secure
a complete registration of births and
deaths. The Iowa law, at present,
calls upon doctors and undertakers
to report deaths, burials and births
but has not proved effective, it is
said.

REGISTER AND LEADER BURNS.
Register and Leader and Tribune
Left Without Home, But Will
Publish.

The building and entire plant OF
the Register and Leader, morning,
and Des Moines Tribune, afternoon
newspapers, were destroyed by fire
early Sunday morning. The loss ex-
ceeds 100000 about three-fourths
of which was covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is not GER
tain. 1t broke out about o'clock.
after the night force had left and
one report was that a newsboy in the
circulation room in the basement had
dropped lighted cigaret in some
waste paper. This could not be YER
flied.
The flames quickly shot upward
to the composing room and practi-
cally the whole plant was wrecked in
short time. Falling floors des-
troyed the presses in the basement.
Gardner Cowles, publisher and
principal owner of the two papers,
said the plant would be rebuilt i'm
mediately. Temporary quarters in
the Des Moines Daily Capital offices
were accepted by Mr.. Cowles, and no
issues Of either the Register and
Leader or the Tribune will be omit
ted.

In many European countries the
women are striving to better the con-
ditions of marriage, which now rob
the women of property, children and
personal rights and give all the di-
vorce privileges to the husband. In
Egypt the mother of the Khedive has
organized Woman's Educational
League in an attempt to spread
knowledge of truth. In Persia fem
inism is demand by women for edu-
cation; in Turkey, an attempt to un-
veil in India, the crying demand
for free choice of husbands.

Liszt, Dreams OF Love e(Liebestraume)
Poem by f. Freiligrath.
o love. love, while still thy heart
can feel the rapture and the pain.
The hour is near when DER a grave
thou'lt weep in vain.
And be thy heart aglow with love
All, do not quench the fire divine
While still another loving heart with
tender longing beats for thine.
And lavish all thy wealth of love if
e'er this heart should be thine own!
All, give it joy and happiness and
never let it grieve alone.
And guard thy tongue-an angry
word has power to wound the low
ing heart,
Though thine from i'll intent be free,
The other throbs in misery,
