Resists Extradition to titan.
Application baa been mad before Gov
ernor Mickey to authorise the extradition
of O. D. Wolf of .Butler county to Bummlt
county, Utah, where he la charged by the
Utah Construction company of Ogden with
obtaining money under false pretensea.
Another complaint lodged against Wolf is
that of removing mortgaged property from
Utah without first satisfying the debt
hanging over it.
' Wolf Is resisting extradition and Btate
Senator Hasting of Butler county ap
peared Derore tn governor to conduct the
defense. Wolf pleads' that the prosecution
is merely a noax; mat me uian company
has only a civil claim againat him In which
a sum of money Is Involved, and that If he
were extradited the" criminal , case would
Immediately be dropped and the civil case
substituted. Wolf explains that he wa
acting aa a, subcontractor for the Utah
concern and during their dealings a dis
pute arose over a aura of money. He ob
jects strenuously to the tactics of the west
erner in thus making a foot ball of the
statute of extradition, and he beseeches
the governor to give him the full protec
tion of the law. After a hearing that con
sumed most of the afternoon Governor
Mickey took the matter of extradition un
der advisement uttfll tomorrow.

"Tixis icVi! reiivo."
Those who have ever felt Its keen, cutting pains, or witnessed the intense
suffering of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is rightly
called "The Kinj? of Pain."
All do not sutler alike. Some are suddenly seized with-the most excrucia
ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn
asunder. Others feel only occasional slight pains for weeks or months, when
sudden change in the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night
ir brings on a fierce attack, lasting for days perhaps and leaving the patient
with a weakened constitution or crippled and deformed for all time.
An acid, polluted condition of the' blood is the cause of every form and
variety of KUeumatlsm, Muscular. Articular, Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory
(and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is an
end to your aches and pains. External applications, the use of liniments and
plasters do much toward temporary relief, but such treatment does not reach
the real cause or cleanse the diseased blood ; but S. S. S., the greatest of all
blood purifiers and tonics, does cure Rheumatism by antidoting and neutralizing

Principal Speaker.
BOSTON, July 7. The program of the
National Educational association today pro
vided for meetings In eight departments,
be sides a general session to be held in the
evening.
The departments holding sessions today
were the national council, elementary edu
cation, higher education, normal, manual
training, business education, child study
'and Indian education.
The national council discussed "Religious
Education," with George A. Coe, professor
of phl'.osophy. Northwestern university,
speaking on "Contributions of Modern Edu
cation to Religion."
Demand for Improvement.
He said in part:
The demand for Improvement in religious
education apparently assumes that the edu
cational principles employed in the "secu
lar schools'' are capable of promoting re
ligious natures also. This assumption
should not be accepted without scrutiny.
Religious education should, be religious in
point of process a well as of purpose. But
modern education, though it originated
within religion, haa built up a set of at
Icust apparently Independent principles.
Kriticatioiial theory rest chiefly ipon two
Ideas, the natural development of the child
and his social destination. The tlrst de
termines the nature of the educational
process; the second describes the end of the
material. The idea of child-development
expands Into the principles of appercep
tion, free self-expression, concretrness and
symmetry. The Idea-of the chHd's social
destination makes the work and end of
education predominately ethical. Analysis
of these principles will show that they are
Inherently adapted to the work of religious
education.
First Modern education agree with re
ligion in recogniilng the Inner life as the
essential life of man. Only that which we
assimilate enlarges life.
Second Education nnd religion agree In
conceiving; life broadly life is right feel
ing and right willing as well as right think
ing. .
i hird They agree in demanding that the
Inner life come to outward expression.
Maxim of the Teacher.
The maxim of the teacher. "No impres
sion without expression," has Its counter
part In the Idea of good work a the
expression nnd evldenco of faith.
Fourth The educational principle mat
the concrete should precede the abstract,
the realty the symbol, is In harmony with
the religious Idea of Incarnation, or the
revelation of the Invisible God In a visible
person. The school deals with visible and
tangible things, but not for their own sake;
rather because seeing and handling are
means to the growth of personality.
Fifth Both education ana religion aim ai
freedom, yet employ authority. The para
dox Is solved through the Insight that au
thority In both spheres expresses tne neeas
of our deeper self. We become free only
through obedience.
Hirth Modem education is worxing wun
religion for the adjustment of the Individ
ual to society.
Thus the modern eaucaiionai movement
as a whole nas neep wnrmns uui i-armm
pedagogical aspects of Christian belief. It
follows that the entire body of the educa
tional principle Is adapted to the specific
work of religious training. The contribu
tion of modern education to religion is form
and method, which church and home must
be relied upon to fill with the complete
Christian content.
Iaflaenee of Itellition.
Rev. Edward A. Face of the Catholic
university, Washington, t. C, spoke on
"Influence of Religious Education on the
Mind and Conduct." and Commissioner of
Education W. 1 Harris of Washington, D.
C, on the separation pf the church from
the achool, supported -by-oubllo taxes.
At the session of the elementary depart
ment , the , time , was devoted to paper
mainly on technical subjects, with discus
sion of each. .
In the department of higher education
the toplo wa "The Length of the Bacca
laureate Course and the Preparation for
the Professional Schools.
Among those who presented papers were
President Nicholas Murray Butler of Col
umbia university and President William R.
Harper of Chicago -university.
Make a Mistake.
President Butler said In part:
In my Judgment most participants in the
discuBBiou now going on throughout the
land as to the length of the baccalaureate
coerse and the preparation for the profes
sional schools, err In supposing that the
two questions are necessarily reducable to
one and also In taking hold of that one by
tiia wrunk end. The nature, content ana
proper length of the baccalaureate course
are matters quite Independent of the proper
standards of prot-'SHlonal education, and
are entitled to consideration on their own
merit.
Th. nine of the baccalaureate course and
Its standard will never be established on
sound principles until the question of It
lei.gth Is made suDorainate to nose reiai
In to its content and Its purpose. More
over. It Is quite unreasonable to assume
that the baccalaureate course should be
one and the same length for everybody.
The baccalaureate of college course of
study of the liberal arts and science should
be preserved at all hnxrdB as an essential
fart of our educational organisation. It
a distinctly American and a very power
ful factor In the upbuilding of the nation's
culture and Idealism. It Hiiould be treated
a & thing of value In and for Itself and not
merely as an Incident to graduate study
or to professional schools.
Course of Two Years.
There should be a college course two
years in length, carefully constructed as
a thing of Itself and not merely the first
part ot a three years' or four years' course,
which will enable Intending professional
students to spend this time as advantag
eously as possible In purely liberal studies.
The university colleges can establish such
a course easily enough; the Independent
colleges will have to esiahllnh sucn u course
or see their Influence and presuge steadily
decline. ,
To try to meet the new situation by sim
ply reproducing all present conditions on
a three-year scale. Instead of a four-year
scale. Is a case of solvltur ambulando.
The shortening of the college to three years
for all students Involves an unnecessary
sacrifice. As usually depended this policy
Involves ho educational principle, but
merely concedes a year of liberal study to
the modern demand of haste and hurry.
A "university ought not to admit to Its
professional schools students who have
not had a college course of liberal study,
or lta equivalent. A minimum course of
two years of such study should be
insisted upon. A four years' course should
not be required for the two reasons that it
delays too long entrance upon active life
work ind that It does not use the time
and eltort of the intending professional
student to the best advantage.
Ideal ot College Tralaiaa;.
For a university to admit professional
students direct from the secondary schools
is to throw the weight of Us Influence
against the spirit and Ideals of college
training and to prepare for the so-called
learned professions a large body of very
Imperfectly educated men. To say that-any
other procedure Is undemocratic Is not only
a grave misuse of words, but la to Imply
that the universities should not struggle
to give this democracy what it most needs,
well educnted and highly trained profes
sional service.
One of the principal addresses In the
normxl department was that of Prof. Fran
cis B. Brandelo of the Central High school,
Philadelphia.
"Trade Schools," was the general topic
in the manual training department. Arthur
H. Chamberlain, principal of the Normal
school of Throop Polytechnic Institute,
Pasadena, Cal., was among the speakers.
The child study department topic was
"Child Btudy In Relation to Elementary
Education."
In the Indian education department the
tople was "Cltlsenshlp,'' with addresses
by H. B. Pears, superintendent of the
Haskell Institute; Dr. Sheldon Jackson, gen
