The Trappist monks of Kentucky

white habit, a black wool scapular
and a leather cincture. The white
cowl is worn over all the other gar
ments. In their medieval garb they
are picturesque. Seen under a wan
ing sun at work in the fields or in
the dim chapel at the singing of a
Gregorian chant, they transport one
to the days when barefoot friars
were to be seen on every road and
when there were two Popes, one at
Avignon, the other at Rome.

Spirit Of Revolt

In refusing to acknowledge the
authority of Boss Keyes at the out
set was merely expressing a COM
mon and widespread, though large
ly unconscious, spirit of revolt
among the people, movement of
the new generation toward more
democracy in human relationships.
No one had thought 1t out in
sharply defined terms, but nearly
every one felt 1t. 1t grew out OF
the intellectual awakening of
which I have already spoken. the
very center and inspirational point
of which in Wisconsin was then.
and has been ever since, the uni
versity at Madison.
1t is difficult. indeed, to overesti-
mate the part which the univer-
sity has played in the Wisconsin
revolution.
In all my fights in Wisconsin,
the university and the students
have always stood firmly behind
me. In a high sense the univer-
sity has been the repository OF
progressive ideas: it has always
enjoyed both free thought and
free speech.

Captain Larson and his two mates remained aboard but coast guardsmen brought the other g members of the crew ashore.
 The weather was favorable and members of the crew said Captain Larson had told them that his chart showed s6 feet of water at the point where the vessel struck. All her fires were swamped, two holes were punch ed in the hull and considerable oil was leaking out of the ship. It was be- lieved, however. that there was a good chance of saving the steamer.
