WOMAN USURPING ANOTHER MALE PRIVILEGE. I A GIRL STOWAWAY IS THE latest. Previously the art of beating a transportation company has been the perogatiye of the. male sex, but some j-woman being determined to go to Europe "or die" and get there without j paying, has been discovered in mid-ocean. It -would be no more than she dej served to drop her into the sea, but humanity, if not gallantry, has caused 1 the captain to hold on to her and have a punishment fitted for the crime. THE SILLY SEASON IS NOW OPEN. LAST TEAR THE TOLL OF human life, caused by drowning In Lake i county and its immediate environs, was fourteen. This year and summer j has only just begun, the total has already reached six. It seems remarkable that who cannot swim and those who are cautious on land, display the utmost recklessness and often fool hardiness when they get near a body of water. True it is the silly 6eason. Men want to show oft and they often 'pay the penalty for it. It might be timely, too, to call attention to the fact that it is often suicidal to go into the water when the body is overheated. Exercise the same care of yourself when you are on or in the water as you would in getting on a street car, and the chances are you will live through it. Six lives in one month is a pretty large toll for a district of this size. What will the harvest be at the end of the summer? One may well ask. EATING UP THE FOREST.

WHILE THE COUNTRY IS THREATENED with a lumber famine, the paper trust is eating up the American forest at the rate of 3,962,660 cords a year. A report just Issued by the United States census, shows that to be

The spruce forests of the United the demand, and the imports of spruce in 1907 than in the previous year; and 1899. Most of this wood is bought (the trust) before it is cut. With every reason to encourage pulp, and with every inducement to

Aside from the fact that huge profits are made illegitimately by the suppression of competition in this industry, we ought to be moved to have

"THIS IS MT 57TH BIRTHDAY." Stnyvesant FUh. Stuyvesant Fish, financier and railroad official, was born in New York, June 24, 1851, the son of Hamilton Fish, who was secretary of state in the cabinet of President Grant. Soon after his graduation from Columbia college in. 1871 Mr. Fish began his railroad career as a clerk In the New York office of the Illinois Central railroad. A year later he became secretary to the president of the company, which position he held for several years, resigning It in 1874 to form a connection with a New York banking house. Before he had reached his thirtieth year Mr. Fish had ' gained a thorough knowledge of banking as well as the practical side of railroad management. From that time on his rise In the financial world was rapid. He became a -m-ember of the New York stock exchange in 1876 and the same year was elected a director of the Illinois Central company. In 18S7 he became president of the Illinois Central and retained the position until defeated for re-election in the memorable contest with the Harrtman Interests two years ago.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS, IT'S FOLLY TO TRY AND FIND OUT HOW MUCH AN ENGAGEMENT RIXG COST. They are etlll talking all over the land about the great speech that Han ly did not make in Chicago.

Taft, the presi dential candidate belong? READER. Mr. Taft is a Unitarian himself and an Episcopalian by marriage. A man's enemies anxiously await an opportunity to meet his widow. Said Senator Lodge: "The old shib boleths of the democrats are today the epitaphs of policies which are dead and damned." Not all; some of them have been stolen and are being shouted by the burglars. Speaking of good voices, what's the matter vvlth the voice of conscience. A fleet of ships from. China are in the Frisco harbor bringing firecrack ers for the Glorious Fourth.

eart to Imeart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1508, by Edwin A. Nye. THE HARVARD STOOP." Dr. J. E. Goldthwait of Boston declares that deep trousers pockets are more dangerous to young men than French heels or tight laced corsets to yocng women. W-h-a-t? Ever see that stoop? They call it the Harvard stoop iu and about Boston, but it prevails everywhere. Note the stooping, lounging pose of the young collegian or young man about town. He doesn't seem to know what to do with his hands. So he Jams them down into his deep trousers pockets as far as he can thrust them. Note the enforced curvature of his spine. Ills backbone Is a curve of beauty, and tils shoulders droop out of all proportion. The stoop may be picturesque in the eyes of the girls, but it is not at all conducive to good health or a manly carriage. Therefore the Boston doctor pre scribes shallow trousers pockets when one of these young men comes to him for treatment. He says it Is a case for the tailor rather than for the doctor. The stoop is fashionable. Therefore It is popular The average young fellow is a close copyist of the manners and poses of his set. Because "all the fellows" push up their coats behind when putting their hands in their trousers pockets instead of pushing back the coat from the front, aa was the universal custom when we were boys, every young man must perforce push up his coat from behind. The only way to cure the average young man of this custom of hunching his coat up from behind is to start some new way of doing the act. The only way to save young men from the health destroying "Harvard stoop" is to make it unfashionable. When it becomes "the thing" for young men to stand up and throw their shoulders back, as they are compelled to do in the military schools, then, and not till then, will the Harvard stoop" become obsolete. Beneath the rule of men entirely great the college tailor is mightier than the director of the college gymnasium. Because your young American Is bound to be in the swim. ionl experience trill be slouchy as a woman and an a wife. Just Try It, Girls.

NO DOUBT HIS SATANIC MAJESTY GRITS HIS TEETH WHEN HE MEETS A MAN WHO LOVES HIS NEIGHBORS AS HE LOVES HIMSELF. IN POLITICS It is safe to say that the tears shed by Congressman Crumpacker over Fairbanks' defeat were not sufficiently copious to cause the Kankakee marshes to overflow.Indianapolis Independent. Quite a little interest is being taken by Lake county republicans in the coming democratic congressional convention at Monticello. The chances of Mayor Becker's for capturing the nominatlon are being closely watched by them. Terre Haute, Ind., June 23. "Roosevelt has us all beat as politicians; he is the greatest politician in the country." This is what "Uncle Joe" Cannon told his old-time Terre Haute friends while riding home with them on th train from Chicago. "Uncle Joe" did his studying of law when a young man In Terre Haute. He spent two years In the office of John P. Usher, afterward secretary of the interior in Mr. Lincoln's cabinet. The little building in which the office was situated was only a block away from the store in which another young man, later to become a famous Illinois politician, had been employed Richard J. Oglesby. New York, June 23. When Secretary Taft goes to Oyster Ray Saturday he will, exchange views with the president as to who will be the best man for chairman of the national republican committee. There Is little doubt that the man whose duty It will be to

manage the campaign will be decided on at this conference. As a matter of necessity Secretary Taft's wishes must be considered and if a chairman is agreed upon by him and the president that man will shoulder the burden. Their choice will be told to the national committee when it meets again in Washington next week, and if there is no divergence of opinion their favorite will assume command.

The republican state committee will meet here next week to make the first outline of plans for the state campaign. The returns from the sixty-day polls are practically all in. They show, according to Secretary Riddick, that the republicans will Avln if they can get out their vote. Columbus, O., June 23. Attornsy General Wade H. Ellis, who took such an important part in framing the re publican national platform and who carried the draft of that document in hi? pocket from Washington 1 to Chicago, has issued" a statement taking issue with William J. Bryan. Bryan takes exceptions to many planks in the platform, especially the anti-injunction plank, which he dubs as a "sop to labor." The Ellis statement in full follows: "There are two things since the Chicago convention which must be very amusing to all who were in a position to know the facts about the formulation of the republican platform. "The first of these is the indignation claimed to be felt by Mr. Bryan because of the omission of certain planks which he thinks important and because of the form of the declaration on federal injunctions. "The second is the great Joy pro fessed to be felt by one' or two reactionary newspapers over certain differences which they claim to have discovered between the original draft of the platform, published before the meeting of the convention and the final draft as adopted, the inference being that a number of changes were made to the disappointment of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft." PBIMARY IN NORTH DAKOTA. Bismarck, N. D., June 24. By tomorrow the people of North Dakota will know the makeup of the rtate and congressional tickets for which they will vote at the fall election. Republican and democratic primaries are in progress throughout the state today. Many close and interesting contests are on in both parties and the results of the primary are awaited with great interest. The fate of United States Senator Hansbrough hinges on the result of the republican primaries. The senator is opposed for re-election by three candidates of his own party. They are C. B. Little of Bismarck, Thomas F. Marshall of Oakes and M. N. Johnson of Petersburg. Little has the effective organization of the "stalwarts" behind him, and Johnson is regarded as the candidate of the "insurgent" faction. The contest for the governorship in the republican ranks is between C. A. Johnson of Minot, and Treadwell Twitchell of Fargo, representing the stalwarts and Insurgents, respectively. Both factions likewise have candidates in the primaries for all other places on the state ticket. These include lieutenant governor, Justice of the supreme court, secretary of state, state audi tor, state treasurer, superintendent of public instruction, attorney general, commissioner of insurance, commissioner of agriculture and labor, and commissioner of insurance. Neither is there any lack of candidates in the democratic ranks. In fact, the number of aspirants for places on the democratic ticket is unusually large and is taken to indicate that the party this year has great hopes of success. There are several candidates for every office except the governorship. No one has appeared to claim the place of Governor John Burke and he is assured of renomlnatlon without opposition. The democratic candidates for Senator Hansbrough's seat are John L. Cashel of Grafton, and W. F. Purcell of Wahpeton. Mr. Casnel is chairman of the democratic state, central committee and Mr. Purcell is a member of the 6tate senate. MEETING OF MICHIGAN MEDICS. Manistee, Mich., June 24. The Michigan State Medical society, with a membership of 2,000 physicians and sugeons, began its annual convention in this city today. A large attendance marked the formal opening of the gathering. The convention will continue and conclude Its session tomorrow. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE MEETS. Atlanta, Ga., June 24. Many important measures are to come up for disposal at the hands of the Georgia general assembly, which convened In regular session today. Many bills that were left over from the last session are to be considered and acted upon. Among these are an anti-pass bill, antilobbylng bill, a bill to revise the laws regarding the incorporation of railroads and a bill regulating primary and other elections. The future disposition of the state convicts is among the most important matters to receive attention. The five-year lease of the convicts, which has caused considerable criticism, will expire during the coming year, and it is therefore necessary for the present session of the legislature to solve the question. Many of the members oppose any further leasing of the convicts to private parties, and will favor putting them upon the public works of the state.

LABOR NEWS In Austria when an unemployed wage earner cannot obtain work, he registers at a government labor bureau and he is supplied with food for himself and family by the government until employment is found for him. The national Joint arbitration board of the Oranite Cutters' Employers' association and the Granite Cutters' union has adjusted all the points in dispute at Quincy, Mass., and there can be no strikes nor lockouts for the next three years. Under authority of the American Federation of Labor, and within the Jurisdiction of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, enrollment has begun ln a local to be known as the Picture Machine Operators of Greater New York. Recent advices from Christinia are to the effect that strikes, lockouts, and labor conflicts are numerous ln Norway at the present time. The lumber, building, woolen and leather industries are particularly affected. The Diamond Workers' union of Antwerp, by a vote of 5,001 to 390 decided on complete cessation of work. The decision affected 10,000 men in the polishing and allied trades. When work is resumed the unions intend to ask higher wages for its members. The first notice of labor unions was when Plutarch wrote of various craft guilds as having existed in the Rome and Greek dominions. From Rome the idea was passed on to the young nations that followed, and in the middle ages the guilds were to be found evi erywhere. More than five hundred managers of Chicago's places of amusement, including theaters, concert halls, nickel shows and public amusement parks, recently received circular letters of warning from State Factory Inspector Edgar T. Davies as his first step In a crusade against the employment of children in these places. Parents are also to be held to account by the chief Inspector when it is found they permit the children to work In these places when they are under sixteen years of age. .
