NEW SYSTEM Of
MUSIC PLEASING
MISS LUCILLE BUTTS WILL GO
TO SUMNER SESSION
AT CORNELL.

Miss Lucille Butts leaves today for
Jacksonville, whence she will go to
Ithaca to attend the summer session
of Cornell.
Under the new system of music in
troduced by Miss Butts into the local
schools, the advancement of the pu-
pills has been rapid and thoroughly
satisfactory. The efficiency of the pu-
pills in sight-reading and their i'm
provement in tone quality has far ex-
ceeded the expectation OF the mem.
bers of the board who recognize that
the work has been well done.
Miss Butts will take the complete
course at Cornell and has had great
encouragement from the faculty upon
her talent and the progress she has
made in her work

DENOUNCES THE DEMOCRATS
Writes a Three Thousand Word
Letter to Give Views On the
Subiect-Speaks of the
Weakness of the New Pro-
gressive Party.

CHICAGO, June 26.-Colonel Roose-
welt declined to run on the Progress
i've ticket and gave his unqualified en-
dorsement to Hughes}in a letter to the
Progressive National committee which
met here today.
Col Roosevelt is very severe in his
criticism of the Democratic admins
tration and devotes the major part of
his 5000 word letter 10 what he STYLES
its shortcomings. He says he feels
assured that Sooner or later the ma
tional principles championed by the
Progressives of 1919 must in their
general effect be embodied in the
structure of our national existence"
He asserts that with all his heart he
will continue to work for these ideals
but concludes: yet it has become
entirely evident that the people under
existing conditions are not prepared
to accept the new party"
While the Progressives find il i'm
possible to abandon their convictions.
the Colonel thinks they are faced with
the fact that their organization no
longer offers the means whereby they
can make these convictions effective.
Therefore the Colonel argues what
he styles Wilson's weakness and
Hughes strength andIurges the mem
bers of the Progressive party to sup.
port the Republican ticket

WASHlNG1ON June 26.-Whethe1

demanded in the note sent to Car.

the administration explain in inter.
preting the communication, that the
course of the United States will be
determined by Carranza's final state
ment of his intentions toward the
American expedition in Mexico to pro
tect the border. rather than the Car
rial incident
The war department had not re.
ceived the letter from Capt Lewis s.
Morey of the Tenth Cavalry giving
the first official American version of
the fighting at Carrizal. 1t had been
advised, however, that Morey was
and a complete report on the affair
was expected promptly The publish
ed text of Capt. Morey's letter was
construed as indicating that the Amer
lean force was to some extent respon
sible for the clash. Officials noted this
fact, but said that an official account
from Capt. Morey would be the basis
of judgment, rather than the hurried
note written by man who was ex
pecting death and was suffering
from wounds and thirst.
1t was pointed out, however, that
Secretary Lansing's note did not base
its demands upon statement that
the Mexicans precipitated the fight
Apparently the question has no di
rect connection with the course
President Wilson is pursuing. The
note of General Carranza saying he
personally directed that General
Trevino resist any movement OF
American troops in Mexico except in
retirement toward the border is the
real issue.
The Washington government con
strues this action as a formal avowal
of deliberately hostile action. 1t de
mands that if this is Carranza's pur
pose he so state through regular
diplomatic channels. Aside from the
diplomatic improprietY of making a
subordinate military officer a me.

where the acts of military com.
manders have been later disavowed
by the de facto government and it is
known that many of Carranza's com

A DELAYED Execution,

An eighteenth century execution on
Remington common was stopped for
time owing to strange cause. On
Aug. 10, 1853, two days before the date
of the execution, heavy fog came
over London, accompanied by thunder
and lightning and torrents of rain.
These conditions lasted for nearly for
ty-eight hours, and many people be-
lieved that the last day had arrived.
When the time fixed for the execution
arrived the assembled crowd cried
shame on the sheriff for hanging a man
when the world was coming to an end.
AS he persisted in his preparations,
they burst through the barriers and
stopped the proceedings. shouting that
the cufprit might as well wait few
minutes, when the grand summons
would come to all The sheriff had to
obtain the assistance of force Of SOL
diers before the execution could be car

Highly Commended.

Efforts Of State Bar Association Arc
Highly Commended.
The Minnesota State Bar Associa-
ton is to be congratulated for its
heroic efforts to improve the standing
of the legal profession with the gen.
eral public
In the program of their annual
meeting to be held at Duluth, Aug. 9Th,
9Th and 10th, the committee on ethics
(moral duty express themselves as
being DESTROYS of Kidding the profess
sion of lawyers whose conduct VIC
lates their oaths and requires of the
bar generally a proper standard OF
moral responsibility. They also say
that the public rightly looks to the
bar to purge itself of those OF it's
members whose misconduct merits
not only the criticism of the bar but
it's disciplinary action.
For years our courts have been
crowded with suits framed up by dis
honorable lawyers, mostly of the per-
sonal damage kind.
The present laws give them the
privilege of bringing suit, present
ing their evidence and getting it dis
missed, going through this operation
four or five times until the victim of
the plaintiff is completely worn out,
and compelled to make an unreason-
able settlement to prevent being
harassed further.
AS the law now reads personal
damage suit can be brought against
employers, property owners or house
holders within five years from the
date of an accident. In the larger
cities action against the city must be
brought within thirty days.
The expense to the taxpayers of
Minnesota for such framed up law
suits is enormous and the principal
reason for the large increase in taxes
of recent years.
Special attention will be given to
the practice, now so general and so
much condemned, of loading down
the courts of Minnesota with action
by nonresident plaintiffs against non
resident defendants on causes of ac-
ton arising outside of Minnesota.
In a recent issue of the Pioneer
Press it was stated that the cost to
the taxpayers of Ramsey county alone
for such suits amounted to $4,000 a
year. Unnecessary suits brought
against residents of the state No.
cost as much or more.
1t is the purpose of the bar associa-
ton to give the public the same pro-
lection from the so called ambulance
chasers that the city governments now
receive.
The expressed intention of the Min.
nesota State Bar Association to rid
the profession of dishonest and shy.
ster lawyers is to be highly COM
mended and will meet with the ap-
prevail of all Of the leading civic as
sociations of the state and the pub

SHE WAITED IN VAIN.
Pathetic End Of Romance Lasting
Over Thirty Years.

Over Thirty Years.
Many years ago while studying in
Boston l lived for a time in private
boarding house Of the Back Bay. As
most Of the guests were wealthy wild
ews, named it the House Of Wells.
Among those coming in from the out-
side to take their meals was Miss
Adams. descendant of the historical
Adams family and a woman Of about
sixty years.
She was engaged to be married and
years. Her lover called, took her to
dinners and the theater, sent her flow
ers and sweets as in the days of their
youth. Those who knew her told me-
this story:
While still young she had been left
an income sufficiently large to main
tain herself in comfort, but not enough
for the upkeep of a home such as she
thought befitted her station in life. 81.
she lived in lodgings. while her fianca
cared for his widowed mother, who
lived to be very old.
At the time to which l refer her lover
held a responsible position, and tho
only obstacle in the way of their mar
riage was the aged mother
They were devoted lovers at sixty
and had been devoted lovers for thirty
years Being the longest engagement
of which | had ever heard or read, I
was interested to know the ending Of
story so unusual in life.
Some years after, meeting a former
guest of the House of Wells, l asked
about Miss Abigail Adams. The
mother had outlived the son.
A sad and lonely old woman was still
living in lodgings. looking back to the
pride and selfishness Of her youth,
which had cost her home and all that
home might mean.-Chicago Tribune
