Hosmer on "John Harvard in England," the observance of the 800th anniversary of the birth of John Harvard, founder pf Harvard college, begins at the, university today and will continue for eleven days.

President Ennaovnlt and many other distinguished sons, of 11 vara nave Deen invited to attend thin banquet. The annual Yale-Harvard football game will be played Saturday, and it is thought that this, combined with the Harvard memorial dinner, will attract famous alnmnt ronfall Sal-ts of the country 'fe IT. A collection pf Woks and relics con nected with John- Harvard and his tjnies has been prepared and placed on exhibition in the new, reading room of, Oore hall.

Contemporary views of Lon don and Cambridge are -shown, and, so far as possible, John Harvard's library has been reproduced. The original library bequeathed to the institution' by its English founder was destroyed in 1764, when Harvard hall was consumed, by fire. A torchlight procession from the yard to the stadium, in which sands of undergraduates and alumni will participate, will be a spectacular: feature of the celebration. Harvard clubs throughout the coun try have been asked to collaborate by holding commemorative exercises in their home cities, and also by sending delegates to Harvard on the night of the dinner. i I i 14 We have for sale three 5-room and" one 3-rooin cottages, all' ia good order, that bring in over 14 per cent on the investment.

Julian Laughlln, lawyer, author and democrat, of St. tools, delivered lecture on "The Origin of Civilisation," at Old Concordia hull Sunday afternoon. Mr. Laughllu says that in a moment of thought lessness be wrote a book entitled, "The History of Civilisation," and since that time he has found it rather difficult to break away from the clvliiation business, hence his date to lecture In Little Kock, For years past Mn. Laughlln has traveled extensively and being a close student' of and men he has made the financial condition of the country a study.

He la conversant with alt- the big financial deals of the past decade and during bis stay In cltv he advanced a theory for the present financial flurry which, to say the lea.it. Is worthy the consideration and thought of every one, Like others he attributes the flurry to "high finance," but he goes further and. tells you to Just what' particular deal be attributes the present situation, citing the Inmost workings of the kings of nuance who manipulate the business affairs of the coun. try to further their own ends and to make or break as the case may be. Speaklg to a representative of the Demo.

crat at the Hotel Marlon Saturday eveulng he snld the present depression and scare was simply renewal of the old fight for SHpreuuuiy-between the. two. greatest flunn clal kings of this country, Rockefeller and Morgau, and he says when the smoke of battle has cleared away and confidence Is once nlore restored at the order of tho win ner In the fight, the country will see newly crowned king, or more strictly suonltln? an old king recrowned, In no less a personage than J. Plerpout Morgan once king of Wall street and master of the financial situation, but since 1003 prac tically playing second fiddle to his victo rious opponent in the memorable struggle of that year, when the country was plunged Into a financial situation similar to the one which prevails at the present time. Mr.

Laughlln recited the first rise of J. Plerpont Morgau as the be-crowued and be. sceptered king of finance at the time of the organisation of the great steel trust, and the resolve of the Rockefeller crowd to dethrone him and fleece him of many of his millions. This scheme he Bays was carried out along the line of financial manipulation originated and used effectively by' tne late Jay Gould and a few of his associates that of making money scarce to tne crowd which was endeavoring to boost and hold up the prices of stock to denude the country of ready money and -deprive the reigning crowd of the wherewith to noiu the market up. As soou as Morgan was nicely seated on.

his throne with J. J. UUl as his chler lieutenant and the acknowledged "railroad king of the United States, the Btandurd Oil crowd et about to dethrone him and reap the harvest which always follow the shearing of the It was not necessary for this crowd to plunge Into the sale of stocks to accomplish this. At first It was only necessary to retire their incomes as the cash accumulated and later to set the other machinery to working to make the thing sure. It is a matter of history that the Standard pushed Morgan and his crowd to the wall with a fabulous of European loans ion their, bands and forced him to settle to the amount Of a iroodlv nortion of his Then John D.

Dockefeller was hailed as the "king" and a new railway magnate loomed nn in the horizon to step Into the tracks of J. J. Hill H. H. Ilarrimsn, the acknowledged king of the railway financial world of today.

Hlncn the elevation of the Rockefeller crowd to the Dlnnacle of financial success, there has not been a single element in this country able to dethrone it or even make feel Insecure In Its position. But there was an element at work mrnltmt them, silent relentless enemy, in tho of Thomas W. Lawson, of Bos ton, ho Mr. Laughlln confidently believes to the head and front of the nhii-h hna lust succeeded in readjusting the financial affairs of the n-tlon. Lawson has for years, been the relentless eiumy of the Standard, both in finance and literature, and It would seem that he has almost.

If not Quite, made good his threat-to oust-the "system" from Its position of control. According to Mr. Laughlln Lawson readily figured that no single element was big enough to break the Standard, but in the gradual manipulation of things three elements have conspired to accomplish this end Thomas W. Lawson, the most skillful stock manipulator of this or any other age. J.

P. Morgan-wlth-hls-frlends-andJ their millions saved and acucmulnted since the wreck of lOOSi and the Federal government of the United States. Whether or not the Lawson-Morgun crowd was able to bring snfllclenr political pressure to bear to bring, about the recent persistent prosecution and hammering of the Rockefeller-Harriman Interests by the Federal government, Mr. Laughlln does not attempt to say, but' he alludes to the visit Morgan to' Oyster Bay In his yacht "Corsair," and smiled significantly at the possible similarly of the name of the vessel and the purpose of the visit. Anyhow, he believes, these three "great elements have rollaboratd to accomplish the end which Lawson snd his colleagues have so long sought.

He believes the fight Is now ended and thot Morgan and his henchmen are the unquestioned winners. It -has been accomplished by retiring suflclent money from circulation to "squeeze" the Standard crowd, by the skillful manipulation of stocks and the unrelenting prosecution of the trusts' by the government the "bad" trusts in this Instance have been the Rockefeller-Harriman Interests from start to finish. The retirement of money and Its result ing scarcity to the crowd In control 01 Wail street has been aided materially by the recent New York law prohibiting life Insurance companies from Investing their fnnds In stocks and bonds, thereby with drawing one of the principal sources of ready money to bull the markets and putting It entirely out of the way of the According to Mr. Laugblln's view Rock efeller and his crowd bare lost In the mood of a thousand million dollars In! the present fight and have already "settled' with the vanquisher, who Is now awatlng sn opportune time to declare "con. fldence once more restored."

his three cent traction fare council has held out the olive branch to the old companies. The Clove land Electric Railway Company, the live-cent fare corporation, has refused to accede to the demand of the council to sot a price on its stock in contempla tion of turning it over to a holding company. The council offers partial ar bitration of stock values. A SERIOUS strength of their adversaries by the-inven lion and use of superior weapons. From this time on down through history the white race has been superior to 4111 others but Mr.

Laughlln thinks the dominant race is committing a great blunder in educating the Inferior races in the use of modern weapons of war that they will nse this knowledge against the white race In cen turies to come. Even today, the speakerer claimed, the human race Is dlvded Into four colors, and four distinctive root languages, Just the fame as in tbe formative. when there were four colors and classes of monkeys. Ha stated that the first great discovery was that of 'fire, and It' was not long be fore, all classes and races knew Its nse. Next came the ability to catch fish and kill gams, and he traced civilization down through the various steps to the present "CJvUlied mankind," said Mr.
