''The Eyes of the World"

When Harold Bell Wright began
work on 'The Eyes of the World" he
was resident Of Redlands, Cal. This
story, which has had a sale of nearly
100000 copies (Which means, ac-
cording to the publishers accepted
ratio of five readers to each sale
about 100000 readers), has been
put into elaborate cinema form by the
Clune company and is to be- seen at
the Strand theater on Sunday and
Monday, Oct. S and 6.
An interesting incident in connec-
ton with this fact was related re-
Gently by Mr.. Wright when the work
of translating the book into motion
pictures was under way. Much of
this work was done, in Redlands, for
Sit is the common belief that the
author put into the story people
whose prototypes he observed while
pastor Of church there.
The authors Indictment of Society
did not refer specifically to Redlands,
but applied equally we'll to any other
community where wrongful social ten
denotes are in evidence and that
means practically every good-sized
American community nowadays.
So it seems Fairbanks, the scene Of
many Of the incidents Of the story, is
not thinly disguised pseudonym for
Redlands, but only happens to be the
name that sprang into the mind Of
Mr.. Wright for the purpose of his tale
of fiction.

Seth Bullock is Dead.

Seth Bullock has gone to join his
hunting partner and close friend
Theodore Roosevelt, and although he
had several notches on his ,gunstocks
he was man and not a bandit the
hicks on his gunstocks meant that he
had killed that many bandits in the
execution of his duty. Like Bat Mas
terson, he cleaned up the bad men in
his territory. Those who would not
leave the district peacefully he shot
and he was handy with gun.
He hunted with Roosevelt at Dead
wood in the good old days and their
love for one another increased as
years rolled by. Bullock was on sew
eral occasions a guest at the white
house when Roosevelt was president
and when Theodore was returning
from his African hunt he summoned

he showed them the time of their lives

by Martha Haynes, who has achieved
an enviable reputation in musical cir.
cles. The program consists of cos.

appeals to all, for the music is pleasing
and varied, and readings humorous
and otherwise-are introduced through
the evening.
The lyceum course is furnished us
by our university of Minnesota, and
that in itself speaks for the excellency
Of every number. These courses are
not put on for profit but that every
town in the state, however small, may
have the advantages Of high class en-.
tertainments such as are at all times

They are furnished us at cost, but
because they are high-class entertain
ments their cost is necessarily high
so they must be supported by the com
munity as whole to make them pos.
sible for community.
So boost for the lycium course by
buying tickets for your entire family
and persuade your neighbors to do
likewise.
Any money made over and above the
cost of the course by the Civic Better
ment club, which carries the response
bility Of it, will be used for public
purposes.

MEETS TRACICDEATH
Walter Johnson, Mistaken by Posse
for Car Bandit, Shot to Death
on West Point Bridge.
Fails to Halt Machine When Com
manded by Armed Guards and
is Riddled With Bullets.

A tragic death resulting from the
murder of E. H. Foley occurred on
Monday night at the bridge over. the
Rum river at West Point, where armed
sentries on the lookout for the Elk
River car bandits shot and mortally
wounded Walter Johnson, farmer
who lived about a mile from the place
where he received his death wounds.
The facts, as near as we can ascer-
tain, are that Johnson was ordered
by the guards to halt, but, instead Of
obeying the command, proceeded on
his journey across the bridge. The
posse thereupor> commenced to shoot
with the result that johnson was
struck with bullets in a number of
places. When the car stopped several
hundred feet away in the road the
guards ran up and found the victim
lying over the wheel. To their horror
they also saw that he was one of
their neighbors. He was Immediately
rushed to hospital at Braham,
where he lived but short time, John
son was % years old and unmarried,
There is probability that Johnson,
when commanded to halt, believed the
armed men to be bandits and endeav--
ored to evade them. Whether he had
heard of the killing of Deputy Foley
is not known. However that may be,
it seems to us that the proper way to
have guarded the bridge would have
been to throw barrier across it, which
would prevent any machine from get
ting away until inspected by the SEN
tries. This would at least have pre-
vented this shooting to death of an in
nocent man. ="
It is to be deplored that Johnson,
met his death in so tragic a manner,
but the fact that he did not stop when
ordered to do so led the posse to be-
lieve he was one of the car bandits.
The men who fired the fatal shots are
cast down with grief as result of
the mistake they made.
A coroner's jury at Cambridge on
Tuesday night exonerated the SEN
tries who shot and mortally wounded
Walter Johnson.

Telephone Rates May be Readjusted.

Telephone Rates May be Readjusted.
An attempt to bring about COM
plete readjustment of telephone rates
local and long distance in Mime
sofa will shortly be undertaken by the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion, says Commissioner Putnam. The
question will be brought up without
formal complaints from telephone
users or municipalities on an order
directing the companies to show cause
why they should not restore their pre-
war rate schedules.
The companies plan to resist such an
order and preparations now are being
made to contest it. New rates proba-
bly, will 'be dated December 1. Rates
fixed by the postoffice department .un-
der federal control are in force until
that time unless changed sooner by
state authority, and some contend that
when federal rates cease to be in force
the old rates automatically are re-
stored. The companies dispute this.
The state Of Minnesota at the COM
ing hearings will have for the first
time complete valuation data on prop
critics Of the Northwestern and Tri-
State companies in the state. When
the companies petition for increased
rates was denied by the state commits
sion year ago, but was granted by
the federal authorities, staff of men
was put to work making the valuation,
and their work now is being summar-
lied. From Is to Is men have been
constantly at work for a year, using
the books and records of the COM
panies, and valuing not only toll
properties but local exchange plants
