Must Fig If War Does Co May Be Glad To NEGRO S Whom He N Grave F It is freely predicted in high government circles that it is not at all improbable that there will soon be a clash of arms between the United States and Japan over the color line. The South has once before plunged America into a heartless and relentless bloody war on account of theiraint and obsolete ideas on "racial"imes and "states rights" and now after forty years of partial peace the South gain takes the fore rank to plunge the country in another more deadly andinseless war. Should war with Japan one the United States may findsemselves very much in need of Negrooldiers whom they now ostracize, discriminate against, and dishonorablydischarge in battalions for no provenoffense whatever. Following we give some Washington ideas on the war situation. Washington.—Following consultation between the president and acific coast congressmen, at which the Japanese situation was discussed, the prediction was freely made that war between Japan and the United States is bound to come, and will probably be precipitated by some action prejudicial to Japanese labor or the desire of Japan to hold the supremacy of the Pacific. Representatives Hayes and Knowlson, of San Francisco, spent half an hour with the president. Hayes has a joint resolution ready to introduce in the house calling on the president to enter into negotiations with Japan for treaty to exclude Japanese laborers from the United States. After leaving the White House Mr. Hayes startled a group of newspaper men on the steps of the house by predicting that Japan and the United States would engage in war. War with Japan is sure to come," said Mr. Hayes. "But I do not believe will be provoked by the school question. The struggles may be deyaled twenty-five years, but sooner or later the two countries will test each other's fighting strength. In my opinion the war will be brought on by the best for the supremacy of the Pa- United States senator who is a member of the committee on foreign affairs, also called on the president this morning and talked about the delicate Japanese question. He stated afterward that he was convinced that the United States and Japan would ultimately go to war. "Japan has every confidence that President Roosevelt will adjust the Japanese-California school controversy entirely to the satisfaction of both nations. Feeling this confidence, Japan has ceased to be agitated over the situation. The Japanese newspapers are emphatically moderate in all their notices of the affair, and so far as the Japanese nation is concerned there is absolutely no reason for the revival of the newspaper notoriety in this country." The Associated Press was today authorized to quote the Japanese embassy as above. It was further said that there were no new developments in the situation of any character; that the matter was in the hands of President Roosevelt and his willingness and ability to act was entirely relied upon. Henry B. Miller, United States consul general at Yokohama, will be given an opportunity by the state department to affirm or deny a published interview in which he is quoted as saying that the Japanese are organizing their army and navy to fight the United States. A clipping of the alleged interview has been forwarded to Mr. Miller and the statement is made that if he denies it his answer will be accepted by the state department as conclusive. England and Franice Stirred by Rumors London.—President Roosevelt's solution of the difficulty arising from the anti-Japanese rule of the San Francisco schools is awaited with the greatest interest. The London papers contain sensational statements made by recent arrivals from the far East, suggesting the possibilities of war. Paris.-Great interest is manifested here in the situation growing out of the exclusion of Japanese children from the public schools of San Francisco. Some of the French newspapers take an alarming view of the affair, owing to sensational statements cabled, representing the far East as saying that a clash between Japan and the United States is inevitable.

Elliott, commandant of the marine corps, in his annual report urges an increase in the commissioned and enlisted personnel of the corps and says the demands for both officers and men are daily on the increase. He states that unless prompt action is taken in this matter by congress he will be unable to carry out the directions of the secretary of the navy and that the efficiency of the corps will suffer materially. Yardmaster Had Had Three Chances to Shut the Door. Not long ago I overheard a conversation at a station outside of Chicago that to me was very amusing. Our train had pulled in, and our engineer had left his engine to the care of a round house attendant. An old man came along whose business it was to polish the iron horse. "Can you run an engine?" asked Pat of the yardmaster. "No," he answered, "I can't run an engine. Can you? "Can Oi run an engine!" sniffed Pat in derision. "If there's anything Oi'd rather do all day long, it is to run an engine. Huh, can Oi run an engine!" "Suppose," suggested the yardmaster, "you get up and run that engine into the house." "All right, Oi'll do that same," Pat bluffed, and he climbed into the cab, looked the ground over pretty well, spat on his hands, grabbed the biggest handle and pulled it wide open. Zip! the went into the round house. Pat saw the bumper ahead and guessing what would happen, reversed the lever clear back. Out she went—in again—out again. Then the yardmaster yelled: "I thought you said you could run an engine!" But Pat had his answer ready. "Ol had her in there three times. Why didn't you shut the door?"—The Sunday Magazine.

I know many men who would be quite well dressed if they would only refrain from lumbering their pockets; in fact, I wonder that some tailors do not send home a printed warning with each suit: "This suit is not constructed to carry heavy weights." Take those bundles of papers out of your inside pockets and button your coat up and you will find that you look much better than you do now. You have stretched the coat a bit out of shape, but it may recover itself. Remember to take everything out of the suit and fold it up. That is the only fair treatment for a good suit. Clothes are warmed by the body while they are being worn, and while they are warm they get molded into shape. If you always keep one pocket loaded with a handful of loose change and another pocket weighted with a huge bundle of keys, those pockets will become permanently damaged. Possibly you may have noticed that a new suit never looks quite so well as a suit that has been worn half a dozen times; that is because the new suit has not been warmed by being worn, and therefore the cloth is not molded to the shape of the figure. A new coat should always be worn buttoned up for the first few days.—Chicago Tribune. Clogs in the North of England. At least 4,000,000 pairs of clogs are sold in the northern counties of England every year. The "clog" is a sort of shoe with a wooden sole (made in one piece) and a leather top. The sole of the clog is finished with a set of "corkers" or "irons," one OF MARINE CORPS ant of the marine corps, in his annual missioned and enlisted personnel of the officers and men are daily on the inaction is taken in this matter by conthe directions of the secretary of the os will suffer materially. for the heel and another for the front of the sole. These irons are about a quarter of an inch wide, one-eighth of an inch thick, and are made to fit the shape of the sole somewhat as a shoe is fitted to a horse's hoof. With the first opening of Congress steps are begun to inquire into the drastic order of President Roosevelt in dishonorably discharging three companies of colored soldiers without trial or court martial of any sort. Two resolutions were introduced into the Senate Monday, one by Senator Foraker, the other by Senator Penrose. Senator Foraker is disposed to question the constitutionality of the president convicting any man "of felony by order" and in the same manner imposing sentence and inflicting punishment. Two sets of resolutions, addressed to the president and the secretary of war, respectively, were introduced in the Senate today by Senators Penrose and Foraker. The Penrose resolution calls on the president for all information regarding the dismissal of a battalion of Negro troops at Fort Reno, O. T., on account of the affray at Brownville Texas. The Foraker resolution, addressed to the secretary of war, directs that official to furnish the Senate copies of all official letters, telegrams, reports and orders filed with the war department in connection with the recent discharge of the troops in question, together with a complete list of the men discharged, showing the record of each, and the amount of retired pay each was entitled to. The ruling of the department is asked on this or any other similar case regarding the right of the men to such retired pay; also the ruling of the department as to the right of such discharged men to retire on three-fourths pay, with allowance, subsistence and clothing; their rights to enter the National Soldiers' homes; to be buried in a national cemetery; to receive subsistence and transportation from the place of discharge to their homes; also the complete official record of the Twenty-fifth regiment of infantry from the time of its muster-in to the date of the discharge of the companies mentioned. Senator Foraker tonight explained the purposes of his resolution as follows: "I will say, however, I have no purpose of raising the race question. It is a question of constitutional power on the one hand and constitutional WE WILL QUIRE INTO ent Discharging Was It Lawful? and statutory rights on the other. Until we have a complete record, I do not know just what questions will arise, but we may have to consider whether a man can be convicted of felony by order and whether, following such conviction, sentence may be imposed and punishment inflicted by order. "Discharges without honor may be granted where they are not based on an offense against the law of the land, the commission of which is denied and where no punishment follows. But where there is conviction, sentence and punishment, I have always supposed there would have to be also trial either in a civil court or in a court-martial or before some other tribunal thereunto duly appointed by law. But it is idle to discuss any of these questions until we know whether they are raised by the record." President Roosevelt may find yet that even the president of the United States has not the power of complaint, judge and jury. Maybe there is justice yet in store for the Negro. Let us all hope. JAPANESE SPUNKY; RIOT ACT TO ROOT. The Japanese Minister Reads the Riot Act to Americans. Japan Will Not Stand for Color Line. WHERE IS TILLMAN? It is generally agreed in Washington that Viscount Siuzu Aoki, ambassador from Japan to the United States, is the spunkiest diplomat ever seen there. When the viscount made his first call at the state department to protest against the separation of Japanese from white children in the San Francisco public schools there is said to have ensued the most heated colloquy Secretary Root has ever had with a foreign diplomat. The ambassador of his imperial majesty is wroth all through and he let the calm-tempered Mr. Root know it without mincing words a bit. Mr. Root forthwith communicated with the president and the result was the immediate dispatch of Secretary Metcalf to San Francisco to look into the situation carefully and make a full report to the president. Viscount Ooki's wife is a German of high birth and he seemed to feel that the treatment accorded the children of Japanese at San Francisco was a personal insult constituting an international incident of grave portent.

Washington, Dec. 3.—The following is the full text of President Roosevelt's message to the second session of the Fifty-sixth congress. To the Senate and House of Representatives: As a nation we still continue to enjoy a literally unprecedented prosperity; and it is probable that only reckless speculation and disregard of legitimate business methods on the part of the business world can materially mar this prosperity. that basis—that is, if this discrimination is far from this particular shipment was made with an 18 instead of a 25 rate and the tariff rate was maintained as against their competitors—the result might be and not improbably would be that their competitors would be driven out of business. This crime is one which in its nature is deliberate and premeditated. In that case the link over night would between the date of Palmer's letter requesting the reduced rate and the answer of the railroad company deciding to transfer the property to the other subject. No congress in our time has done more good work of importance than the present congress. There were several matters left unfinished at your last session, however, which I most earnestly hope will complete before your adjournment. I again recommend a law prohibiting all corporations from contributing to the campaign expenses of any party. Such a bill has already past one house of congress. Let individuals contribute as they desire; but let us prohibit in effective forms contributions from making contributions for any political purpose, directly or indirectly. Another bill which has just past one house of the congress and which is urging the government to pass a law is that conferring upon the government the right of appeal in criminal cases on questions of law. This right is not limited to the District of Columbia by act of the congress. It is of course not proposed that in any case a verdict for the defendant be made against the defendant in aside. Recently in one district where the government had indicted certain persons for conspiracy in connection with the defendant's demurrier; while in another jurisdiction an indictment for conspiracy to obtain rebates has been sustained by the defendant and two defendants sentenced to imprisonment. The two cases referred to may not be in real conflict with each other, but the two defendants even be an apparent conflict. At present there is no way by which the government can cause such a conflict, when the defendant is a higher court; and the wheels of justice are blocked without any real decision of the question. I can not too strongly believe that the law will result in a failure to pass mass will result in serious President Roosevelt. hampering the government in its effort to obtain justice, especially against those who do wrong; and may also prevent the government from obtaining justice for wageworkers who are not themselves guilty of the judgment of an inferior court has been against them. I have specifically asked the court to issue a judge leaving railway employees without remedy for violation of a certain so-called labor statute. It seems an absurd demand, and it is against what may be the judgment of the immense majority of his colleagues on the bench, to declare a law solemnly unjustifiable, and to impose stitutional," and then to deny to the government the right to have the supreme court definitely decide the ques- Criminal Prosecutions. It is well to recollect that the real efficiency of the law often depends not upon the presence of public excitement, but upon the passage of acts of this nature as to which there is not much public excitement, because there is a little public excitement in the court, while the interested parties are keenly alive to the desirability of defeating them. The importance of enacting into law these laws is further increased by the fact that the government has now definitely begun a policy of resorting to the criminal law in those trust and interstate commerce proceedings, because the government has become increasing chance of success. At first, as was proper, every effort was made to enforce these laws, and the proceedings had become increasing that the action of the government in finally deciding, in certain cases, to undertake criminal proceedings, had been some conspicuous failures in these cases, we have had many successes, which have undoubtedly had a deterrence effect upon those who either fail or imprisoned in the shape of fine or imprisonment—and penalties of both kinds have already been inflicted by the courts. Of course, the way to inflict the penalty of imprisonment the deterrent effect of the punishment on other offenders is increased; but such an effect has not been achieved. Judge Holt of the New York district court, in a recent decision admirably stated the need for treating with just severity offenders and His "The government's evidence to establish the defendant's guilt was clear, because the court ordered that a dargent one. The transactions which took place under this plea contract were not returned were considerable; and the amount of the rebate itself was large, and the entire tariff charge for the transportation of merchandise from this city to Detroit, opinion, that if this business was carried on for a considerable time on "The sentence of this court in this case is that the defendant Pomeroy, for each of the six sines, has been convicted, be fined the sum of $1,000, making six fines, amounting in all to the sum of $5,000; and the defendant. The sum of $5,000 is the road company, for each of the six crimes of which it has been convicted, be fined the sum of $1,600, making six fines amounting in the aggregate to the sum of $2,600, that effect will be entered in this case." Evasion by Technicalities. In connection with this matter, I would like to call attention to the very unsatisfactory state of our criminal law, re-working the setting aside the judgments of inferior courts on technicalities absolutely uncommon, and where there is no attempt to see that there has been any failure of substantial justice. It would be well to enact a law providing something to the court. No judgment shall be set aside or new trial granted in any cause, civil or criminal, in the improper admission or rejection of evidence, or for error as to any matter of pleading or procedure unless, the application is made, after an examination of the entire cause, it shall affirmatively appear that the error complained was resulted in a miscarriage of justice. Injunctions. In my last message I suggested the enactment of a law in connection with the death of a worker, and I believed been sharply drawn to the matter by the demand that the right of applying injunctions in labor cases should be made available to workers, whether a law abolishing altogether the use of injunctions in such cases would stand the test of the courts; in which case it would be ineffective. Moreover, I believe it would be wrong altogether to prohibit the use of injunctions. It is criminal to permit violence there should be no impairment of the work of the workers in upholding the law; and if men seek to destroy life or property by mob violence there should be no impairment of the work of the workers in the most summary and effective way possible. But so far as possible the abuse of the power should be provided against by some such law as I advocated earlier. In this matter of injunctions there is lodged in the hands of the judiciary a subject to the possibility of grave abuse. It is a power that should be exercised with extreme care and should be subjected to the possibility of condemnation and condemnation should be meted out as much to the judge who fails to use it boldly when necessary as to the judge who uses it wantonly or oppressively. It should be used with strong will for his office will enjoin any resort to violence or intimidation, especially by conspiracy, no matter what his opinion is, and there must be no hesitation in dealing with disorder. But there must likewise be no such abuse of the injunction to laboring men to strive for their own betterment in peaceful and lawful ways; nor must the injunction be used merely for the enforcement of out schemes for its own aggrandizement. It must be remembered that a preliminary injunction in a labor case, if found, may often settle the dispute improperly granted may do irreparable wrong. Yet there are many judges who assume a matter-of-fact course granting of a preliminary injunction to be the ordinary and proper judicial disposition and thereby be flagrant wrongs committed by judges in connection with labor disputes even within the last few years, atho I think much less often than in the past, and I think more wise action immensely strengthen the hands of those who are striving entirely to do away with the power of injunction; and therefore such careless use of the law is not only a very existent, very existence, for if the American people ever become convinced that this process is habitually abused, whether in matters affecting labor or in matters affairing high-nigh impossible to present its abolition. Criticism of the Judiciary. It may be the highest duty of a judge at any given moment to disregard, not only the wishes of individuals of great political influence but of the overwhelming tide of public sentiment, and the judge who does thus disregard public sentiment when it is wrong. Such a disregard of public sentiment is special interest when the pleading is not founded on righteousness, performs the highest service to the country. Such a disregard of public sentiment is honor cannot be paid to this wise and fearless judge if we permit the growth of an absurd convention which would prevent the gravest injustice, or who in his capacity to judge and therefore in part a maker of the law, in flagrant fashion thwarts the cause of doent government. The judge has a branch of the government. The judge is cised; he himself sits in review upon the acts of both the executive and legislative branches of the government; save in the case of an amenable only at the bar of public opinion; and it is unwise to maintain that opinion in reference to a man with such power shall neither be express nor led. The best judges have ever been foremost to disclaim any immunity from criticism. This has Seen true since the first case of the liberty to judge Parker, who said: "Let all people be at liberty to know what I found my judgment upon; that, so when I have been judged, I will be at liberty to judge of me." The proprieties of the case were set forth with singular clearness and good temper by Judge W. L. Heyes of the United States circuit judge. Itvenes ago. "On the other hand, the danger of destroying the proper influence of judicial decisions by creating unfounded prejudices against the courts justifies and redefines our attacks shall be met and answered. For our defense rests their defense upon the inherent strength of the opinions they deliver as the ground for their conclusions and must trust to the calm and deliberate judgments of all the people as their best vindication." Sound Judgment of the People. There is one consideration which would be taken into account by the good people who carry a sound proposition to an excess in objecting to any criticism of a judge's decision. The instinct on the justice system as a whole is this matter. They will not subscribe to the doctrine that any public servant is to be above criticism. If the best citizen of the state is to judge their judgment in such matters, and above all those belonging to the great and honorable profession of the bar, life, take the position that there shall be no criticism of a judge under any circumstances, their view will not be accepted. In such a case, the whole. In such event the people will turn to, and tend to accept as justifiable, the temperate and improper criticism. Surely it is a mistrustome to accept such a function, right in itself, which they are certain to abuse. Just and temperate criticism, when necessary, is a safeguard against the judge, which if it is a whole of that intemperate antagonism towards the judiciary which must be combated by every right-thinking man among the people at large, would constitute a dire menace to the republic. THE NEGRO PROBLEM Danger of Face Hatred. Every colored man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the grotish criminal who accounts for the direful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree an offense against the whole country, and against all possible earnestness and zeal every colored man to fail to help the officers of the law in hunting down with all possible earnestness and zeal every judge, my judgment, the crime of rape should always be punished with death, as is the case with murder; assault with inhumanity; capital crime, at least in the discretion of the court; and provision should be followed immediately the punishment may follow immediately the offense; while the trial should be so conducted that the victim need not be wantonly shamed while giving testimony; much a loosening of the bands of civilization; that the spirit of lynching inevitably throws into prominence in the publicity shall be given to the details. The members of the white race on the other hand should understand that the victim must much a loosening of the bands of civilization; that the spirit of lynching inevitably throws into prominence in the publicity shall be given to the details. No man can take part in the torture of a human being without having his own creature to dwell therein. Every lynching means just so much moral deterioration in all the children who have any knowledge of it, and just so much additional trouble for the next generation of Americans. Let justice be both sure and swift, but let it be justice under the law, and not the wild and crooked savagery of a mob. Need for Negro Education. Exciting Mob Vengeance. Be it remembered, further, that the individuals who, whether from folly, from evil temper, from greed for office, from malice for malangage, in indulge in the inflammatory and diary speeches and writings which tend to arouse mobs and to bring about lynching, not only thus excite the mob, but also to intimidate the criminologists call "suggestion," greatly the likelihood of a repetition of the very crime against which they are injured, of the people of one race, of the man lynched of another race, the who in their speeches and writings either to usurly the action tend, to course to excite the feeling and to cause the people of the opposite race to lose sight of the abominable act of the criminal himself; and to course to excite the menace they give to the hideous deed, to doubtedly tend to excite in other brutal and depraved natures thoughts of the criminal, to contemptless and orderly punishment under the only way by which criminality is this type can permanently be supprest. CAPITAL AND LABOR. The Preaching of Class Distinction Is Severely Condemned. Duty of the People. Railroad Employees' Hours. Labor of Women and Children The congress at its last session wished for a truant court for the District of Columbia to advance on the path of properly caring for the children. Let me again urge that we assume at a thorny investigation of the conditions of labor and of the labor of women in labor and of the labor of women in people are growing. More and more our people are growing. We fact that the questions which are not industrial but of social importance of the industrial but of social importance of these two questions most emphatically THE FARMER IN WESTERN CANADA. The Quality of No. 1 Hard Wear Cannot Be Beaten. The Canadian West in the past five or ten years has given a set back to the theory that large cities are the backbone of a country and a national best asset. Here we have a country where no city exceeds 100,000, where only one comes within a distance of that figure according to the census just taken and where other city reaches a population exceeding 15,000. The places with population over 5,000 can be upon the fingers of one hand, and the prosperity that prevails is something unprecedented in the history all countries past or present. CO com The reason for this marvelous prosperity is not hard to seek. The large majority of the $10,000 people who inhabit Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have gone on to the front and have betaken themselves to the task of not only feeding and clothing themselves, but of raising food for others less happily circumstanted. The crop of 1906, although not normal, is an eye-opener to many who previously had given little thought to the subject. Ninety million bushels wheat at 70 cents per bushel-$18,000; 76,000,000 bushels of oats at cents per bushel-$22,800,000; 100,000 bushels of barley at 40 cents per bushel-$6,800,000; makes a total $92,600,000. This is altogether the root products; dairy products, the returns from the cattle trade; beet sugar industry and the variety other by-products of mixed farming. When such returns are obtained from the soil it is not to be wondered at that many are leaving the congested districts of the easyt, to take up themselves the life of the prairie far and the labor of the housband. With the construction of additional railroads new avenues, for agricultural enterprise are opening up, and proved opportunities are offered to settler who understands prairie ting, and is willing to do his part building up the new country. This is the theme that Mr. J. J. H. the veteran railroad builder in West, has laid before the people a series of addresses which he given at various points during past few months, and, having for so long identified with the department of the West, there are men better qualified than he to press an opinion upon it. Take of the country, says he, and the child will take care of themselves. The farmers of the Western Sui and the Canadian West, are prosperous than ever before, when it comes to measuring sults, the Canadian appears to be somewhat the better of it. His is cheaper in fact, the government continues to give free homestead settlers, and the returns per acre heavier when the crop is harvested. Farming land in the Western Sui runs from $60 to $150 an acre and whereas equally good soil may be chased in Canada for $5 to $15 acre, within easy reach of a ship point, and much of this is available for free homesteading. The quality the Canadian No. 1 hard wheat not be beaten, and the returns to acre are several bushels better on this side of the line; the soil climate of that country being peculiarly adapted to wheat growing. The fact is evidently approved by the large number of American farmers who have in the past two three years settled in the Canadian West. The agents of the Canadian Government, whose address was found elsewhere, advise us that the fiscal year 1904-5, the show that 43,543 Americans settled Canada, and in 1905-6 the reached 57,796. From all of which appears that at present, there is good thing in farming in West Canada, and that the American farmer is not slow to avail himself of Wife. Desertion. Alarms. Wife Desertion Alarms.

A drastic law should be enacted for the District of Columbus and the territories. Employers' Liability. among the excellent laws which the employer's liability law. It was a quick step in advance to get the recourse of employers' liability on the occasion past at the last session was employer's liability law. It was a precautionary exercise by employers there are avoidable accidents and even deaths involved in nearly every line of business. The inevitable sacrifice of life may be caused to a minimum, but it cannot completely eliminated. It is a great injustice to compel the employee, the victim, to bear the entire burden of an inevitable sacrifice. In other societies, society shirks is duty by laying a whole cone on the victim, whereas the legitimate risks of trade, compensation for accidents or deaths in any line of industry to the actual conditions under which that industry is operated, the legitimate risks of the community for the benefit which the industry is carried on—at risk, by those who profit by the industry, upon the employer, upon the employer, he will empty and properly add it to the estimate cost of production and assess it proportionately upon the consequence to my mind that the law would place this entire 'risk of a side upon the employer.

During the same period there were 1,065,684 employees, throwing over 1,000,000 people of employment. These strikes and knots involved an estimated loss to employees of $307,000,000 and to employees of $433,000,000, a total of $450,000,000 indirectly as great additional loss. But money loss, great as it was, did not ensure the anguish and suffering employees whose pay stopt when their work stop, or the disastrous effect of a strike or lockout upon the business employers, or the increase in the cost of the inconvenience and to the public. many of these strikes and lockouts did not have occurred had the parties the dispute been resolved, the police representing nation and, face to face, state the reasons for their contention. In most cases, the police and nation and to be due to a misunderstanding each of the other's rights, aggravated an unwillingness of either party to accuse the other of wrongdoing to the justice or injustice of the matters in dispute. The exercise of a justice, representing the federal government, as would be provided by a commission conciliation and arbitration representing the federal government, and concluding parties, and the giving each side equal opportunity to present fully its evidence, to present any evidence, to present many disputes from developing serious strikes or lockouts, and in other cases, would enable the commission to terms. this age of great corporate and law employers and not employers should be left unmercy of the stronger party to a dis- regardless of the righteousness of a prospective employer, proposed to be in the line of action sensation of the fact that in many cases the public has itself an interest that cannot wiser, disregarded, an unwilling, or not willing, for the question of a just and per public policy must also be con- sidered well to advance cautiously, testing step by the actual results; the step forward, then, taken, for decisions of the commission, and the parties in legal fashion, and would give a chance for public opin- oort to its full force for the right. Withdrawal of Coal Lands is not wise that the nation should make its remaining coal lands. It is temporarily withdrawn from settlement, which the geological survey has indicated will increase the probability containing, coal. The situation however, can be properly set up by legislation, which in my opinion would allow the coal of these lands from sale or from save in certain especial circumstances to be owned in the United States which did not, however, attempt to work, but permit them to be worked by the individuals under a royalty system, or by the authorities as to permit it to be made that no necessary price was charged consumers. The course be as necessary to give the common carriers, so that they shall in turn carry the product as charged by those who mine it; the supervision must extend to the common carriers, so that they shall in turn carry the expense of another. The withholding these coal lands would constitute an analogous to that which has followed in the past from ordinary settlement. The use of the forests, should be treated as property of the public and its disposal should be under conditions which imure to the benefit of the public whole. CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS: Commends Some Minor Changues in Laws Recently Enacted. Present congress has taken long in the direction of securing properties and control by the general government and by the government in interstate business—and the majority of corporations of the managed interstate business. The passage of the bill requires only to a less degree the passage of food bill, and the provision and reopening more effective international industry, mark an important the proper direction. In the present case, perhaps be difficult further advance, but the best to wait until the laws in operation for a number of before endeavoring to increase hope, provide with exactness their merits and accomplishments and thus give opportunity to define what further remedial action will in the end be advisable with the packing house in-house, provide for putting a house on the label in inspection to the packers All Need of Federal Legislation. In enacting and enforcing such legislation as this congress already has to its plan, with the steady endeavor to secure the needed reform by the joint action of the moderate men, the plain men who do not want to be dangerous, but who do intend to deal in resolute commonsense fashion with the real and great evils of the present violent extremists show symptoms of joining hands against us. Both assert, for instance, that if logged in, we will be able to resist the railroads and the like; the reactionaries, because on such an issue they think the people would stand with the bourbon and the like; to preach discontent and agitation than to achieve solid results. As a matter of fact, our position is as remote from the nation of the bourbon as the nation of the railroads or sinister visionary. We hold that the government should not conduct the business of the nation, but insist on such a plan as will insure its being conducted in the interest of the nation. Our aim is, so far as may please, for all deceased and incarcerated men, equality of opportunity and equality of burden. Combinations Are Necessary. This means that the law as construed by the supreme court is such that the business of the country cannot be conducted without breaking it. I recommend that you give careful and early consideration to this subject, and if you find the opinion of a corporate commerce commission justified, you should law so as to obviate the evil disclosed. INHERITANCE AND INCOME TAX: Both of These Are Recommended by the President. The question of taxation is difficult in any country, but it is especially difficult in ours with its federal system of government, where the ground be levied is a special district or use in that district. Thus the taxation of real estate is peculiarly one for the immediate locality in which the real estate tax may be legitimate tax for any state than a tax on the franchises conferred by that state upon street railroads and similar corporate state boundaries, sometimes in one and sometimes in several municipalities or other minor divisions of the state. But this tax only be levied by the general government as to produce the best results, because among other reasons, the attempt to impose them in one particular state to the state may be impossible, a graduated income tax. The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the state, because he derives special government. Not only should he recognize this obligation in the way he leads his daily life and in the way he earns and spends his money, but he derives special government. Not only should he recognize this obligation in the way he gives him. On the one hand, it is desirable that he should assume the proper state tax, as the taxation of other hand, it is quite as necessary that in this kind of taxation, where the man should pay the tax, as the taxation of other hands there should be clear recognition of the danger of inaugurating any such system save in a spirit of entire justice and moderation. Whenever we, as a people, unite to distribute the burden of support among the lines suggested, we must make it clear beyond adventure that our aim is to distribute the burden of support than at present, that we intend to treat rich man and poor man on a basis of absolute equality, and that we regard it as a duty to permit injustice to the one as to do or permit injustice to the other. Subject Needs Careful Study. There can be no question of the ethical propriety of appropriating the conditions upon which any gift or inheritance should be received. Exactly how far the inheritance tax should be imposed, limiting the transmission by devise or gift of the enormous fortunes in question, is it wise that progress in this direction should be gradual. At first a permanent national inheritance must be incremental than any such tax has hitherto been, need not approximate, either in amount or in the extent of the tax, but in what such a tax should ultimately be. Inheritance Tax Constitutional Is Income Tax Constitutional? In its incidents, and apart from the main purpose, of raising revenue, an income tax stands on an entirely different footing from an inheritance tax, because it involves no question of the per person nature of the income size. The question is in its essence a question of the proper adjustment of burdens to benefits. As the subject of the question, the cult to devise a national income tax which shall be constitutional. But whether it is absolutely impossible is another question; and if possible it must be made possible. The income tax law was past by the congress in 1851, but the most important law dealing with the subject was that of 1854. This the court held to be unconstitu- The question is undoubtedly very intricate, delicate, and troublesome. The question is whether the law is by one majority. It is the law of the land, and, of course, is excepted as such and loyalty obeyed by good citizens. The question is whether the constitution felt by the court as a whole in coming to a conclusion, when considered together, is consistent with the decision of the subject, may perhaps be the possibility of devising a constitutional income-tax law which shall substantiate the constitution. The difficulty of amending the constitution is so great that only real necessity can justify a resort thereto. The constitution must be in accord with this subject, as with the subject of the proper control by the national government over the use of corporate legislation which without such action shall attain the desired end; but if this fails, there will ultimately be no alternative to a constitutional amendment. EDUCATING THE PEOPLE. Technical and Industrial Training In a Need of the Nation. It would be impossible to overstate (the it is of course difficult quantitatively to measure the importance of what may be called organized patriotism, which necessarily includes the substitution of a national feeling for mere individualism, the inability for the whole country. No country can develop its full strength so long as the parts which make up the whole each have the same feeling of loyalty to the whole. This is true of sections and it is just as true of classes. The industrial class, in the same way, work together, capitalists and workers must work together, if In every possible way we should help the wageworker who toils with a constantly increasing measure) also toil with his brain. Under the constitution the national legislature can do the welfare save where he is engaged in work which permits it to act under the current commerce clause of the constitution; and why I so earnestly hope that both the legislative and judicial branches of the constitution in the broadest possible manner. We can, however, in such a matter as industrial training, in such a manner as setting an example to the states by enacting the most advanced legislation that can wisely be enacted for the District of Co- Agricultural Interests. The only other persons whose welfare is as vital to the welfare of the whole country as is the welfare of the wage-earners and the farmers. It is a mere truism to say that no growth of cities, no growth of wealth, no industrial development can atone for failing to fulfill the character standing for the farming population. During the last few decades this fact has been recognized with ever-increasing importance, not only in the realization of that farming, at least in certain branches, must become a technical and scientific profession. This means that there must be open to the farmers the training, not theoretical merely, but of the most severely practical type. The most important training, not theoretical merely, but of American citizenship, and he must have the same chance to rise and develop as other American citizens have. More especially, as it is of the business man and the wageworker, that the ultimate success of the nation of which he forms a part is the prosperity but upon high moral, mental, and physical development. This education of the farmer-self-education by preference, but also education from the other sources, is crucially necessary here in the United States, where the frontier conditions of the farmer are now nearly vanished, where there must be substitution of a more intensive system of cultivation for the old wasteful farm management, and where there must be an organization among the farmers themselves. Good of Grange Organizations. Several factors must cooperate in the improvement of the farmer's condition. He must have the chance to be educated with the most possible sense in the sense which best represents his relationship between the theory of education and the facts of life. In all cases, it is a good thing to produce a certain number of trained scholars and students; but the education superintended by the farmer is a good thing to produce a certain number of trained citizens than one scholar, and it must be turned now and then from the class book to the study book. This is especially true of the farmer, as been pointed out again and again by all observers most competent to pass practical judgment on the problems of our country. This is especially true that education must seek to train the executive powers of young people and to confer more real significance upon the students. It is also necessary to pare the pupils so that in addition to each developing in the highest degree his individual capacity for work they can develop, he must be educated in opinion, and show in many ways social and cooperative spirit. Organization has become necessary in the business world, in the education profession, in the world of labor. It is no less necessary for farmers. Such a movement as the grange movement is good in itself because it is a humble, humble extension for good so long as it is kept to its own legitimate business. The benefits to be derived by the association are partly economic and partly sociological. Irrigation and Forest Preservation. Much is now being done for the states of the Rocky mountains and Great Plains thru the development of the national policy of irrigation and forest preservation; no government internal conditions has been more fruitful of good than this. The forests of the White mountains and Southern Appalachian regions should also be preserved; can not be unless the people of the state are thru their representatives in the congress, secure vigorous action by the national government. Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington to the congress to the estimate of the secret war for an appropriation to enable him to begin the preliminary work of the war, and to amphitheater at Arlington. The Grand Army of the Republic in its national encumment has urged the erection of such an amphitheater as necessary for the purpose of the war. Day and as a fitting monument to the soldier and sailor dead buried there, the heartily concur and command the matter in a favorable consideration of the congress. Marriage and Divorce. I am well aware of how difficult it is to pass a constitutional amendment. Nevertheless in my judgment the whole question of marriage and divorce is not a matter of the authority of the national congress. At present the wide differences in the laws of the different states on this sub issue result in scandals and abuses; the curse of the law is essential to the welfare of the nation, nothing around which the nation should so bend itself to throw every citizen under the same average citizen. The change would be good because it would confer on the congress the power at once to deal radically and efficiently with polygamy and with marriage and divorce are dealt with. It is neither safe nor proper to leave the question of polygamy to be dealt with by the several states. Power is conferred on the national government. When home ties are loosened; when men and women cease to regard a womely family life, with all its duties and obligations, and with all their bilities lived up to, as the life best worth living; then evil days for the commonwealth are at hand. There are regions in our land, and classes of our people in the land, whose sunk below the death rate. Surely it should need no demonstration to show that wilful sterility is, from the standpoint of the nation, from me to you, of the mind, from sin for which the penalty is national death, race death; a sin for which there is no atonement; a sin which is dreadful exactly in proportion as the number of persons thereof are in other respects, in character, and bodily and mental powers, those whom for the sake of the state, be many, see the children and mothers of many children well brought up in homes made happy by their presence. No man, no woman, can shirk the primary duties of life, to ease and pleasure or for any other cause, and retain his or her self-respect. American Shipping. CURRENCY REFORM. Amendments to Existing Laws Are Badly Needed. Need of Automatic System: I do not say that this is the right system. I only advance it to emphasize my belief that there is need for the adoption of some system which includes the use of sound banks, so as to avoid all possibility of discrimination and favoritism. Such a plan would tend to prevent the spasms of high money and interest in New York market; for at present there is too much currency at certain seasons of the year, and its accumulation at New York tempts bankers to invest in the currency purses; whereas at other times when the crops are bing moved there is urgent need for a large but temporary increase in the currency supply in order to meet that this question concerns business men generally quite as much as bankers; es- Philippine Tariff. I most earnestly hope that the bill to provide a lower tariff for or else absolute free trade in Philippine products we become a aaw. No harm will come to us because we will be able to have there will be some small but real material benefit to the Filipinos, the main benefit will come by the showing made as to our purpose to do all in our power to provide a lower tariff to the Philippines, has been abundantly justified, not mainly and indeed not primarily because of the added dignity it will give to our people, we are capable honorably and efficiently to bear the international burdens which a mighty people should bear, but even more because of the immense benefit that we are able to have we are justice. We have provided efficient police force, and have put down ladronism. Only in the islands of Leyte and Mindanao we have been mounted, mounted and mounted resisted and by this wild mountain tribes under the superstitious inspiration of fakirs and pseudo-religious leaders. We are constantly increasing the measure of our government, the first time legislative assembly, and the way in they stand this test will largely determine whether the self-government thus granted will be increased or decreased. We are now in the direction of making Philippines it has been in proceeding too rapidly in the direction of granting a large measure of self-government. We are also to see it that they are given free access to the more imperative duty to itself and mankind than the duty of managing the affairs of the islands under the American flag—the Philippines. Porto Rico is the most important place that it is in every way to their advantage that the flag should fly over them. Porto Rico American citizenship should be conferred on the citizens of Porto Rico. For more information, San Juan in Porto Rico should be dredged and expenses of the federal court of Porto Rico should be met from the federal treasury. The administration of the african port of Porto Rico with respect to the Philippines, Hawaii and our other insular possessions, should all be directed under one executive department; by the executive department of state or the department of war. Hawaii. The needs of Hawai'i are peculiar; every aid should be unceasing to develop the small freeholders, not of great planters with coole-tilled estates. Situated as this territory is, in the middle of the island, this small community which do not fall in like degree or manner upon any other American concern, and which warrants it differently from in which we treat territories continuous to or surrounded by sister territories or states and justifies the setting of boundaries of the extended for educational and internal improvements therein. Hawaii is now fit in an effort to assume the duties and burdens of full American citizenship, and whenever the leaders in the various indigents and heartily join our administration in endeavoring to develop a middle class of substantial citizens, a way will be found to accomplish that goal and industrial problems which now appear to them so jealous. The best Americanism is that which aims for stalwart citizenship, rather than immense returns on large masses of capital. Alaska. Alaska's needs have been partially met, but there must be a complete reorganization of the governmental system, as I have been urged to you. We especially attention to all the. Our fellow-citizens who dwell on the shores of Puget sound with characteristic energy and resources of Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition. Its special aims include the upbuilding of Alaska and the development of American energy resources in Alaska Yukon Pacific position, in its purposes and scope, should appeal not only to the people of the Pacific slope, but to the people of the Pacific coast. The government was bought has yielded to the government $11,000,000 of revenue, and has procured nearly $300,000,000 and fish. When deeply developed it will become in large degree a land of homes. The countries bordering on the Pacific slope are numerous than that of all the countries of Europe; their annual foreign commerce amounts to over three billions of dollars. The United States is some $700,000,000. If this trade were thoroly understood and pushed by our manufacturers and producers, the Pacific slope, but of all our country, and particularly of our cotton growing states would be greatly benefited. Of course, order to get these benefits, we must treat fairly the countries with which we trade. INTERNATIONAL MORALITY. All People Coming to Us Should Be Treated Allike. Not only must we treat all nations fairly, but we must treat with justice and good will all immigrants who are not American. When they are Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Gentile; whether they come from England or Germany, Russia, Japan or France; whether they all have a right to question is the man's conduct.

"To Live and Let Live" Is Our Motto LABOR IS HONORABLE. Parents Make a Sad Mistake In Rearing their Children to Shun Work. The Coffeyville Independent wants more young men made useful workers and fewer into worthless "gentlemen." It says: Ther are more young men in the penitentiaries in this country learning trades than there are outside learning trades. The principal cause of this is that we are educating our young men for idle gentlemen, trying to make lawyers, preachers, doctors and clerks out of material that is needed for blacksmiths, carpenters, merchants, and other honest "hewers of wood and drawers of water." It is a mistake and a big one to teach boys and girls to believe that labor is disgraceful, and to do nothing for a living is more becoming to society. Hang such society! It is rotted to the core and is ruining our country today; and there are sons and daughters who are now being educated to play the "leading lady" and "walking gentleman" in the great drama of life, who will light out for the poor house or the penitentiary before the curtain drops on the last sad act of the play to which they have been educated by their too indulgent parents. TILLMAN'S FALSE PRETENSE. This Senatorial Curiosity Must Shift Mightily to Make His False Ar- Mighty to make His False Arguments Hold Water. From the Chicago Chronicle. If there was any point or purport to Senator Tillman's harangue at Orchestra hall the other night it was that the Negro is seeking social and political rights which render him dangerous. This is Mr. Tillman's favorite man of straw. First assume that the "nigger" wants to eat and sleep with the white man besides exercising political domination over him and then point out how necessary it is for every white man to buy a shotgun and go gunning for "blackbirds." The whole thing is, of course, false prtense. Senator Tillman knows as well as anybody else that no Negro, North or South, so much as dreams of social equality with the whites. He knows that in the South, where he lives, the Negro has practically abandoned any idea of insisting upon his political rights. The one thing that Negroes, North and South, hope for is the concession of their legal rights—that though they are inferior to the white man socially and politically, they shall be his equals before the law. Surely this is no extravagant nor offensive aspiration and Mr. Tillman himself recognizes it when he proclaims that he would protect his old Negro servant with his own life if necessary. But it will be observed that Tillman proposes to do the protecting. He would take his trusty shotgun and defend his servant, but he would not concede that the law should defend him, much less that the servant should defend himself. Senator Tillman, in other words, would defend his Negro servant as he would defend his horse—not because the servant has any rights, but because he is Senator Tillman's servant. And this is his attitude toward the whole question. He seeks to raise a false issue by prating about the Negro's prentensions to social and political equality, but in the final analysis it develops that Senator Tillman wants to deny the Negro the rights of a human being when any white man is concerned. That is why he breathes threatenings and slaughter and predicts race wars in the near future. It may be that the Tillman doctrine will find favor in the North as it is accepted pretty generally throughout the South. There is undoubtedly a growing tendency in the Northern states, and especially in the Northern cities, to spell Negro with two g's and to raise the lynch cry whenever a Negro is involved. If it is held, however, that a white man has the right to kill a Negro without process of law the doctrine ought to be openly avowed without any subterfuge and humbug about social and political equality.

Every department of the church made a very creditable showing both spiritually and financially, and the second quarter starts off with many bright prospects. The quarterly conference Monday night was honored with the presence of Presiding Elder H. W. King of the Topeka district and Rev. S. S. Washington pastor of the A. M. E. church of Newton.

Lewis was attacked by two white cowboys from Texas who made an attempt to hang him for no greater offense than wearing a Knights of Pythias charm. Things are indeed getting to a fine pitch when a colored man must be assaulted and almost hanged, simply because he wears the emblem of the society of which he is a member. Mr. Lewis is not only a Pythian but is also Grand Chancellor of the Kansas Jurisdiction, and the indignities heaped on him so unprovocated should meet with the unsparing condemnation of all men who believe in law, right and justice.

Especially he is need to remember our duty to the stream of justice, to the sure mark of a low civilization, a low morality, to abuse or discriminate against or in any way humiliate such person, from here lawfully, and who is conducting himself so formally. To remember this is incumbent on every American citizen, and it is of the peculiarly incumbent on every governmental state of the nation or of the several states. Hostility to Japaneo. Our nation fronts on the Pacific, just as it fronts on the Atlantic. We hope it will be the great ocean of our world. Wish, as we ought to wish, for a great commercial development in our dealings with Asia; and it is out of the great ocean of our world that we have such development unless we freely and gladly extend to other nations the same measure of justice and good treatment which we expect to receive from the people of this country of our citizens that act badly. Where the federal government has power it will deal summarily with any such wrongdoers. It is not that I earnestly ask that they also deal wisely and promptly with such conduct, or else this small body of wrongdoers may bring shame upon the great ocean of our world. I attribute this thinking fellows—that is upon our nation as a whole. Good manners should be an international no less than a moral attribute. I will treat for them as I would ask fair treatment for Germans or Englishmen. Frenchmen, Russians or Italians. I ask it as due to humanity that we should act as due to ourselves because we must act uprightly toward all men. Naturalization of Japs. CUBAN INTERVENTION. Review of the Establishment of the Provisional Government. Last August an insurrection broke out in Cuba which it speedily grew evident that the existing government was the government. Was repeatedly asked by the then Cuban Provisional Government to End. The Bio Conference. The second international conference of American republics, held in Mexico in the years 1901-2, provided for the holding of the conference to the governing board of the American nations and committed the fixing of the time and place and the arrangements for the conference to the governing board of the American nations and committed the fixing of the time and place and the arrangements for the conference to the governing board of the American nations in Washington. That board convened with marked identity and palmstaking care, and upon the courteous invitation of the United States of Brazil, the conference continued from the 23d of July to the 28th of August last. Many subjects of common interest to all the American nations were addressed, and the conclusions reached, enclosed, and proposed conventions, will be laid before you upon the coming conference and promoted to delegates. They contain many matters of importance relating to the extension of trade, the increase of communication, the increase of carriers, to intercourse and promotion of better knowledge and good understanding between the different countries represented, and to work reached with substantial continuity. It is interesting to observe that in the successive conferences which have been held in the United States of America, American nations have been learning to work together effectively, for, while the first conference in Washington in 1880, 1901-2, occupied many months, with much time wasted in an unregulated and fruitless discussion. It is much easier to find the facility in the practical dispatch of business which characterizes the permanent deliberative bodies, and completed its labors within its framework of weeks originally allowed for its sessions. Quite apart from the specific value of the conclusions reached by the conference of all the American nations engaging in harmonious and kindly consideration and discussion of subjective or communal value, a substantial value for the promotion of reasonable and considerate treatment of all international questions. The thanks of this conference to the people of Brazil and to the people of Rio de Janeiro for the generous hospitality with which our delegates, in common with the others were received entertained, and the work of our team. Incidentally to the meeting of the conference the secretary of state visited the city of Rio de Janeiro for a conference, of which he was made an honorary president. The announcement of his intention to make this visit was for the purpose of courteous invitations from all the countries of South America to visit them as the guest of their governments. It was deemed that such invitations we might appropriately express the real respect and friendship in which we hold our sister republics of the southern continent, and the secretary according to Chill, Peru, Panama and Colombia. He refrained from visiting Paraguay, Bolivia and Ecuador, only to send the onboard made it impracticable with the time at his disposal. He carried with him a message of peace and friendliness and understanding and mutual helpfulness; and he was everywhere received in the spirit of his message. The members of government, the press, the business, the great masses of the people united everywhere in emphatic response to his friendly expressions and in doing homeland country and cause which represented. In many parts of South America there has been much misunderstanding of the attitude of the American toward the other, American republicans. An idea had become prevalent that assertion of the Monroe doctrine implied, or ordered, or required, the priority and of a right to exercise some kind of protectorate over the countries to whose territory that doctrine applies. Yet that impression continued to be a serious barrier to good understanding, to friendly intercourse, to the introduction of American trade. The impression was so widespread that apparently it could not be reached by any ordinary means, and the American intention to dispel this unfounded impression, and there is just cause to believe that he has succeeded. In an address to the conference at Rio on the 1st of July he said: "We wish for no victories but those of peace; for no territory except our own; for no sovereignty except the sovereignty over ourselves. We deed the sovereignty and equalize the smallest and weaker member of the family of nations to as much respect as those of Our Efforts Appreciated. These words appear to have been received with acclaim in every part of South America. They have my hearty praise, and I can not be wrong in the conviction that they correctly represent the sentiments of the whole American people. I believe that the United States, in theitude of the United States in its assertion of the Monroe Doctrine than in the words of the distinguished former minister of the United States, is in his speech welcoming Mr. Root at Buenos Ayres. He spoke of—"The traditional policy of the United States in its periority or seeking preponderance, condemned the oppression of the nations of this part of the world and the control of their destinies by the great Powers of Europe." It is gratifying to know that in the great city of Buenos Ayres, upon the twnished with Argentine and American flags for the reception of our representative, there were emblazoned not only the names of Washington and Jefferson and the nation of their services to the cause of South American independence, the names of James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and Richard Sherman, but also in graceful courtesy of the government of Brazil, which has given to the beautiful and stately building first used for the meeting of the congresso, and in graceful courtesy of our grateful acknowledgments are due to the governments and the people of all the countries visited by the secretary of state for the courtesy, the friendship, and the generous hospitality to him. In my message to you on the 5th of December, 1905, I called your attention to the embarrassment that migrants from foreign nations assert by foreign nations of the right to collect by force of arms contract debts due by American republics to the United States to the danger that the process of compulsory collection might result in the occupation of territory tending to become permanent. I then said: "We must be forced to enforce such contractual obligations on behalf of its citizens by an appeal to arms. It is much to be wistful that all foreign governments would take the same action." This subject was one of the topics of consideration at the conference at Rio and the resolution of the United Nations recommending the respective governments represented "to consider the advisability of asking the second peace conference at The Hague to examine the situation of public debts, and in general, means tending to diminish among nations conflicts of purely pecuniary origin." Resolutions Adopted. This resolution was supported by the representatives of the United States in accordance with the following instructions: "It has long been the established policy of the United States not to use its armed forces for the collection of ordinary criminal matters, and to govern governments. We have not considered the use of force for such a purpose consistent with that respect for the index of the family of nations, which is the most important principle of international law and the chief protection of weak nations against the oppression of weak nations. Our practice is injurious in its general effect upon the relations of nations and upon the welfare of weak nations, and ought to be encouraged in the interests of civilization; that it offers frequent temptation to bullying and oppression and to encourage the abuse of power. We regret that other powers, whose opinions and sense of justice we esteem highly, have at times taken a different view of the circumstances of bombing, with reluctance to collect such debts by force. It is doubtless true that the nonpayment of public debts may be accompanied by some circumstances of bombing, which shall discriminate between such cases and the simple nonperformance of a contract with a private person, and a resolution in favor of peace, which shall discriminate between such cases and the latter of the latter." Central America. Last June trouble which had existed for some time between the republics of Salvador, Guatemala, and Haiti, which threatened to be ruinous to the countries involved and very destructive to the commercial interests of American farmers, are taking an important part in the development of these countries. The thorny goodness of the United States and Mexico enabled this government and that of Mexico to unite in effective mediation between the warring republics; the long-continued and patient effort, in bringing about a meeting of the representatives of the United States warship as neutral territory, and peace was there concluded; a peace which resulted in the saving of thousands of lives, the calculable amount of misery and the destruction of property and of the means of livelihood. The Rio conference past the following resolution in reference "That the third international American conference shall address to the presidents of the United States and the American and Mexican nations in which the conference which is being held at Rio expresses its satisfaction at the happy results of their mediation for the celebration of peace between the republics of Guatemala, Honduras, and Sal- This affords an excellent example of one way in which the influence of the United States can be the power of the peoples of the western hemisphere; that is, by action taken in concert with other American republics and therefore free from those suspensions and prejudices which are taken by one alone. In this way it is possible to exercise a powerful influence toward the substitution of considerate action in the spirit of justice, the insurrections of the hitherto been so great a blemence to the development of many of our neighbors. Repeated examples of united action by several of many American republics in favor of peace, by urging cool and reasonable, instead of war, and by promoting of international controversies, can not fail to promote the growth of a general public opinion among the American nations which will elevate the standards of international cooperation. In international duty among governments, and tell in favor of the peace of mankind. Panama Trip. I have just returned from a trip to Panama and shall report to you at length later on the whole subject of the Panama canal! The Algeciras Convention. The Algecina convention, which was signed by the United States as well as by most of the powers of Europe, appealed to the United States, which was also signed both by the United States and a majority of the European powers. This treaty confers upon us our common duties and does not entail a single obligation of any kind upon us, and I earnestly desire that we refuse to ratify it would merely mean that we forfeited our commercial rights in Morocco and would not achieve another of any kind. In the event of such an agreement we will be briefed five times in a hundred and twenty years without any commercial treaty with Morocco; and at a time when we are everywhere seeking new markets and outlets for trade. THE FUR SEAL QUESTION: A Revision of the Present Regulations In Need The destruction of the Pribilof islands fur seals by pelagic sealing still continues the museum's commissioned surveys made in 1871 by direction of the congress, numbered 470,000, and which, according to the survey of both American and Canadian commissioners, amounted to 1,000 seals now been reduced to about 180,000. This result has been brought about by Canadian and American commissioners, and female seals while in the water during their annual pilgrimage to and from the south, or in search of food. As a rule the seals in the museum also has an unweaned pup on land, so that, for each skin taken by pelagic sealing, as the rule, three lives are destroyed in the nursing pup, which is left to starve to death. No damage whatever is done to the seals by the carefully regulated killing and the solely responsible for all of the present evil, and is alike indefensible from the standpoint of humanity. In 1896 over 16,000 young seals were found dead from starvation on the Pribilofs, that since pelagic sealing began upward of 400,000 adult female seals had been killed at sea and over 300,000 young seals had been killed at sea. The revolting barbary of such a practise, as well as the wasteful destruction which it involves, needs no demonstration. The Bering sea tribunal, which sat in Paris in 1833, and which decided against the claims of the United States to exclusive ownership of the seals, presided over and to a property right in the fur seals when outside of the three mile limit, determined also upon certain regulations for the proper protection and preservation of the fur seal in, or habitually reporting to the Bering sea. The tribunal to be held in the Pribilofs, from the 1st of May to the 1st of July, and excluded all killing in the war, thirty miles around the Pribilofs, the regulations which they had determined upon, with a view to the protection and management of the seals, fitted every five years to new examination, so as to enable both interested governments to consider whether, in the past experience there was occasion for such a pass experience. The regulations have proved plainly inadequate to accomplish the cee of prohibiting the use of the four seals, and for a long time this government has tried vainly to secure the British such provision, modification of the regulations as were contemplated and provided for by the European Parliament for the Raids by Japanese. The process of destruction has been accelerated during recent years by the appearance of number of Japanese vessels or to the number of Japanese vessels have not been bound even by the inadequate limitations prescribed by the tribunal of Paris, they have paid the amount of 80%-mile limit imposed upon the Canadians, and have prosecuted their work upon the very islands themselves, as well as the several Japanese vessels made raids on the island of St. Paul, and before they were beaten off by the very meager and insufficiently armed guard, they succeeded in carrying off the skins of most of them. Nearly all the seals killed were females and the work was done with the assistance of the appear to have been skinned alive, and many were found half skinned and still alive. The raids were repelled only by the raiders, and the raiders were killed, two were wounded, and 12 captured, including the two wounded. Those captured have since been released and are in the management. An attack of this kind had been wholly unlookt for, but such provision of vessels, arms and ammunition will now be found profitable. Suitable representations regarding the incident have been made to the government and all practical measures will be taken by that country to prevent any recurrence on the island will be increased, and better equipped and organized and a better settlement will be established; next season a United States war vessel will also be sent there. We not relaxed our efforts to secure an agreement with Great Britain for adequate protection of the seal herd, and negotiations with Japan for the same purpose. Laws. Need Revision. In case we are compelled to abandon the hope of making arrangements with other governments to put an end to the idleous and wasteful question to pelagic fish it will be necessary for you serious consideration how far we should continue to protect and maintain the seal herd on land with the result of continuing such a practise, and whether it is possible to use by externalizing the herd ourselves in the most human way possible. Second Hague Conference. In my last message I advised you that the emperor of Russia had taken the initiative in bringing about a second peace conference in Hague. Under the emperor of Russia arranged the preliminaries for such a conference has been progressing during the past year. Progress has necessarily been slow, owing to the number of countries that have consulted upon that has arisen. It is a matter of satisfaction that all of the American republics have now, for the first time, been invited to join in the proposed conference. The close connection between the subjects to be taken up by the Red Cross conference held at Geneva last summer, and the subjects which naturally would come before the Hague conference, it apparent that an agreement of the Red Cross conference completed and considered by the different powers before the meeting at the Hague. The Red Cross conference ended on 14 July, and the revised and amended convention, which was signed by the American delegates, will be promptly presented at the conference a special and highly appreciated courtesy of the governments of Russia and the Netherlands, a proposal that the Hague conference contract with a time the conference with the conference of the American republics at Rio de Janeiro in August was laid aside. No other date has yet been set for the conference has been proposed by the government of Russia, and the subjects which it enumerates are undergoing careful examination and consideration in preparation for the conference.

In both the army and the navy there is urgent need that everything possible be urgent for the maintain the highest standard for the personnel the gards the officers and the enlisted men.

All possible encouragement to the enlisted men should be given, the otherwise and, everything practicable does include the tractive to men of the right type. They should be held to the strictest discharge of their duty, and in them a spirit should be held to the demands not the mere performance of duty, the formance of far more than duty. if it conduces to the honor and the interest of the American nation; and in return the simplest consideration should be theirs.

The readiness and efficiency of both the army and navy in dealing with the recent sudden crisis in Cuba illustrates the readiness and efficiency would have been very much less had it not been for the existence of the general staff in the army and the readiness and efficiency are essential to the proper development and use of our military forces afloat and ashore.

The army and navy war colleges are of incalculable value to the two services, and they cooperate with constantly increasing efficiency and immanence.

Was Headed For Heaven. Some years ago the Hon. Elijah Morse and Abner Upham witnessed the hanging of a man at Dedham. While they were driving home the subject of sin and its punishment came up. "Brother Upham," remarked Mr. Morse, who was a rigid orthodox in belief, "I suppose, according to your belief, that this man who has been found guilty of murder by his fellowmen, and hanged because he is not a fit person to be at large among his kind, has now gone straight to heaven." It is necessary to explain that the incident took place before gallows were equipped with trap doors, and it was the duty of the executioner to give the rope, fastened about the victim's neck, a tug that actually jerked the doomed man into the air. "It is not for me to judge a fellow man, Brother Morse," replied Deacon Upham, who was an ardent Universalist, gravely, although there was a twinkle in his eye, "but I must say that the last I saw of the unfortunate fellow he was headed that way."—Boston Herald. Bores Pitted Against Each Other. Wigg—The last I saw of you, Young-pup was talking to you to death about his baby. How did you get rid of him?

The Story of Postum Cereal in Words and Pictures. The growth of the Postum Cereal Co. is like a fairy tale, but it is true, every word of it. "The Door Unbolted" is the title of a charming little booklet just issued by the Company which tells, and illustrates, the story of this remarkable growth. It takes the reader from the little white barn in which the business was started Jan. 1, 1895, through the palatial offices and great factory buildings of the "White City" that comprise Postumville, Battle Creek, Mich. The little white barn, so carefully preserved, is a most interesting building, for it represents the humble beginning of one of the country's greatest manufacturing enterprises of today, an enterprise that has grown from this little barn to a whole city of factory buildings within but little more than ten years. No less interesting is the quaint official home of the Postum Cereal Co. The general office building of Mr. Post and his associates is a reproduction of the Shakespeare house at Stratford-on-Avon, and upon the house and its furnishings has been expended vast sums of money, until the rooms are more like the drawing rooms of the mansions of our multi-millionaires than like offices. That Mr. Post has believed thoroughly in the idea of giving to his employees attractive and healthful work rooms is proven not only by the general office building of the Company and its furnishings, but by his factories as well, and of all of these things this beautiful little booklet tells the interesting story. It will be sent to anyone on request. Checked Attempt at Monopoly. Checked Attempt at Monopoly. Trusts were sometimes dealt with summarily in old England. For instance, the records of the Brewers' company show that "on Monday, July 30, 1422, Robert Chichele, the mayor of London, sent for the masters and 12 of the most worthy of our company to appear at the Guildhall for selling dear ale. After much dispute about the price and quantity of malt, wherein Whityngton, the late mayor, declared that the brewers had ridden into the country and forestalled the malt, to raise its price, they were convicted in the penalty of £20 ($100), which objecting to, the masters were ordered to be kept in prison in the chamberlain's custody until they should pay it, or find security for the payment thereof." Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, new much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Uses of Masks. "Among the North American Indians the origin of the use of masks lay," says a writer, "in the desire to conceal the emotions. Thus should two warriors meet in combat, the mask conceals any expression, whether of sympathy, fear or other emotion. For instance, the knowledge that fear was depicted on one's face and that his antagonist knew it would very possibly insure the defeat of the one whose feelings were betrayed to the other." Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to deafness, and deafness is intracutural remedies. The ear is damaged by an inflamed mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or if the ear is inflamed you have a painful feeling is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition this tube is restored forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by the inflamed mucous but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Mix Soap With Dough From a communication read to the Association of Belgian Chemists it seems that continental bakers are in the habit of mixing soap with their dough to make their bread and pastry nice and light. The quantity of soap varies greatly. In fancy articles like waffles and fritters it is much larger than in bread. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands.

Able to Command Sleep. With Georges Clemenceau, the new French premier, sleep is a more matter of volition, in which facility he resembles Gladstone and the great Napoleon. He drops off to sleep at any odd moment—in his private carriage and even at meetings of the cabinet when only routine matters are under consideration. This ability to go to sleep when and how he pleases is the secret of his tremendous ability as a worker. He learned English in this country and speaks it perfectly, though with reluctance, feeling that his accent is not exactly to his liking.

He was an itiner ant preacher of western England—his circuit calling him from walled Ches: ter on the west to the hovels of the charcoal burners in mid-England; and during the years of his itinerancy I followed him in the pursuance of his duties through sun and rain and winter gale. I repeat this in order to explain just how I regarded my grandfather in the light of a certain hereditament he left to me, his diary, but which be expressly forbade me opening until I had passed my twenty-fifth birthday. ‘There were many things I witnessed and heard in my boyhood for which X covfid find no explanation until I broke the seal of this book wherein the magnitude of my grandfather's very soul stands revealed. The first entry in the diary is as follows: My beloved grandson, in this ‘diary are recorded events writ down for thy especial edification, Without comment I leave it with thee to judge whether I have been the victim of a terrible mind disorder, or whether I ‘am gifted with perceptions beyond the usual ken of man, ; It was in the first years of my study. of the occult, long before thou hadst come to gladden thy grand- sire’s heart, that 1 was journeying to Blore Health. When night came down fate led me to the door of a desolate fon slowly dropping to ruin in the perpetual shadow of a grove of oak. ‘The aged host greeted me most cordially, for at his inn guests were not frequent and therefore the more welcome. In the parlor back of the denuded bar I found his old wife and his daughter, the only other persons about the place, moving silently here and there preparing the evening meal ‘The daughter was young and tall and straight and stronz and her hands were coarsened with outdoor work for, it appeared, she was now the burden-bearer of the family. | After the supper was cleared away, ‘the aged parents entertained me with reminiscences of a past glory, of when the inn was new and the great tide of travél used to pass its door. ‘Then in saddened tones they told of how the opening of a new thorough: fare had diverted custom to other hos- telries. So when the daughter was married to a well-to-do young farmer they closed the inn, perforce, and went and made their home with her. Bs one ill-fated day the newly- Sqoaded husband rode away to a neighboring market town and never returned. ‘After due time the farm and tene- ‘ments passed Into the possession of the next helr-at-law, a cousin of the husband; and the old couple with their dowerless daughter returned to the deserted inn, now racked and wrecked with storm and long neglect. “Thou canst see the gables of the farm over yon above the trees,” said the mother, “and we might be living there now ‘mid comfort and plenty if Lisbeth would only hearken to us and wed with Garver Hallard, the cousin who succeeded to the estate. He Is a right honorable yeoman, and hat; favored Lisbeth since they were chil dren in pinafores: “Wat-Etsbeth hath @ base alscrust of him, and treats him oily when he would come to woo— and he that willing to do for her own parents,” Then, Lisbeth, lifting her _ sorrow. fagen eyes to a portrait of her hus band on the wall, said: “Mother, thou need’st not grieve for the rich living at the farm beyond Whitsun- Ude. That day I promise to give mry hand to Garver Hallard an’ he still de etree: tt.” “{ would not coerce thee, dauxhter against thy own good,” quavered the mother in almost childish glee. Then a gloomy silence fell Ike a funeral pall over us, and we sat about the fire absorbed in our own thoughts until there came the sound of a quick atop up the pathway and an im perative knock at the door, and Gar wer Hadlard entered. He was a dark hard-featured, harsh-spoken mat ‘whom any tender young woman might well have shunned. T could not understand it then but I Intultively felt that he was a man with a guilty conscience. And in the light of the recent narration, I fel to comparing his features with thos« of the picture hanging above his heed ‘As my gaze wandered from one t¢ the other there came to me a sense o} a presence in the room, a conviction | could neither define nor evade; an¢ while I strove to analyze critical this Impression a strange metamor phosts seemed to come over my sense and I felt myself drifting, as it were into a state of double consciousness Still with that Sense of a divides ego, with the voices about me echoin: vaguely through my brain, I though fa a eon So anne ae a the damp, soft earth. In my trance I continued to throw the dirt to the right and to the left until from ouc the brown loam appeared. the face in the picture. Then the feverish vision broke, and I emerged as from an hyp- notic spell to find the old couple dis- cussing eagerly with Garver Hallard concerning the wedding settlement, the while Lisbeth gazed hopelessly into the expiring” embers on the hearth, This synthesis of psychic sugges- tions—I dared not call them more— so deeply impressed my mind and so harassed me that I thought of scarce aught else when the next morning I started out to follow my itineracy, preaching the peace on earth of which this world knows little until the time was come for me to return to read the marriage service over Lis- beth and Garver Hallard. I had stopped the night at the market town of Oswestry, a day's Journey from the inn, and when I rode away in the morning I galloped over @ goodly number of miles before I gave small heed to my surround. ings. Gradually I became aware of something familiar in the landscape though to my ken I had never passed ‘hat way before, and I began to think that for me memory and madness must be moving hand in hand for here was the deeply rutted cart-road I had traveled in my vision of the inn, and before me lay the steep as- cent. Again, as In my vision, I felt my volition chained by some higher pow- er, and in obedience to an overwhelm- ing impulse I turned aside from the highway. When I came upon the fallen oak, in a tremor of mingled awe and ex- pectancy, I reached into the hollow trunk and searched among the dead 7 et, al, 8 ey, Gio, 3 Maye a Y ae Bs (ge ee roNN Jere a— ONS PES GP ay, Ws Foe th, FA ANA Y= MG MANN A> SSO Gg AN, wiley COERE ee BT ee “ude - A. f @ | Reached Into the Hollow Trunk. leaves and woody fragments for the spade which I did not doubt but I should find concealed therein; and after I drew it forth I paused to verify each stamp which time and the elements had set upon blade and handle, as I had remarked them erstwhile in my vision. As I rolled the log back from its hollowed bed I espied among the crumbling bits of bark the remnant of a glove, with the initial H embroidered upon the wrist. I hastened back to. Oswestry and raised a hue and ery that murder had been committed. Accompanied by a sheriff and posse and a motley crowd of ex- cited citizens, I returned to the spot —my absence of explanation un- noticed in the-frenzy of the hour. With the exhuming of the body an unusual phenomenon was discovered to have taken place. The waters of the little brook close by had per- meated through the soil to the corpse ot the murdered man and, acting upon the tissues, had preserved it with Hfe- like features. Both I, and those with me who had known him In life, recog- nized in him Lisbeth’s husband who had so mysteriously disappeared four years before. A stab in the back that penetrated to the heart told how he had met his death. When I went on to the inn to pre- pare the widow and her parents for the bringing home of the husband so long dead, I found Garver Hallard, and a few guests who had been in- vited to the wedding, impatiently awaiting me. Lisbeth had been tricked out in bridal white, but her expression was that of deepest de- swair, “In view of the news I bring, the marriage would better be postponed awhile,” I said low yet so that all might understand. “Lisbeth, I bring thee sad tidings of thy last husband.” Then I said that the body was found and Hallard staggered back against the bar as though I had dealt him a blow. There came a great fear into his narrow eyes, his swarthy fea- tures grew livid; and after I had told my tale he asked with quivering lps and voice if any elue to the assassin had been discovered; and I, bearing the glove in mind, did look him level in the eye and answer him shortly “yes.” In the confuston of the laying out of the dead man and the tmpanelling of a corner's jury, Garver Hallard escaped from the house and from the vengeance of man. But his aecount is with God! He keeps it, and He will settle it when the dial points the hour! With the disappearance of Hal: lard, Lisbeth, as the only hetr-at-law again came into the estate that her husband haunted the earth to restore to her; and now that his body was laid in a consecrated grave, his rest. less wrath seemed to find peace be- yond the porteullis of the Borderland, in that Heaven, that Nirvaua of our hopes, we pray.
