HATtoxALiZArrvx tr nAiLirira President Roosevelt, in his address at St. Louis, made further announce ment of his purpose to recommend to coogresc at the coming session addi tional legislation looking to the en largement of the government's rights of supervision and regulation of cor porations engaged in interstate com merce. The country had been pre pared, by former letters and addresses by the president, for the announce-' ment of bis policy, but bis St. Louis speech was directed to the presenta tion of arguments to show the neces sity of the course he has decided upon. After reviewing the difficulties that are constantly rising from the efforts to enforce railway regulation by the dual governments of state and nation, the president called attention to the fact that nearly every railroad in the nation is today an interstate commerce agent. Five of the big railway sys tems, be pointed out, control four fifths of the railway mileage of . the country, making the number of miles of railways engaged In 'purely intra state business, over which the state has exclusive jurisdiction,' very small indeed. According to the president, he 'railway has grown out of state control and is now a national problem. The president admits that ther will, of course, be local matters affect ing the railroads which can best be dealt with by the local authorities, but he insists that as national com mercial agents the big interstate rail ways ought to be completely subject to national authority. Under this au thority would come control of rates, the issue of stock, ' capitalization features, problems of competition and all the questions arising between the transportation companies and their patrons. By such control, the presi dent contends, only can the nation se cure complete subjection of the cor porations to the laws and thus protect both tho railroads and the public to the point that neither shall be Injured by the other. The policy outlined by the president ia practically a repetition and endorse ment of the attitude of 'the late Mr. Edward Rosewater In a series of spe cial articles published In Tbe Bee and The Twentieth Century FarmrMn' the spring of 1905. In those articles Mr. Rosewater discussed all of the phases of the railway problem in the United States and the abuses that grew out of -a lack of proper control of the in terstate commerce roads. He called attention to the loose charters that had been granted in some states to en- courage railway extensions, tbe over capitalisation and stock watering, the growth of rebates and rate discrimina tions and the evils that had arisen from railway activity in state and na tlonal politics. His conclusions, after thorough review of the situation, were that the problem of fair rates and proper operation of . railways conld only come through, the nationalization of railways, th transfer of the con trol of such questions from the state to ' the national .. government.41 The program for this control, as outlined by Mr. Rosewater, was practically identical with that now being urged by President Roosevelt. The devel opments of the last few years indicate the education of the people to this view or- tne situation ana noia a prom Ise that favorable cpngressional action on the president's recommendations will be taken at the coming session of congress. The result of such action will be to place in federal control the most momentous problem tvtt , has confronted the American peon e since the civil war. Towns sees a tifenr. Charles A. Towne, former senator of, the United States, originator and founder of the silver republican party, candidate for vice president with Mr. Bryan, Tammany congressman and a statesman whose heart is already to bleed for the constitution and the flag, has just returned from the Phil Ipplnea and haa filed, aa it were, a pe tition for divorce rom the Anti-lm- perlallst league of which he was once tha better half, the othev. halt being Etving Wlnslow. " According to Mr. Towne, it would be a crime to sell the Philippines or to allow any other nation to get con trol of the islands. . He Insists that it would have been better if this country had never secured control . of : the Islands, but that It is now too late to back down, until American duty has been fully performed. He agrees with the best thought of Americans of th day that tbe Philippine problem la a: American problem; that until we have decided what ahall be the status there the American authority must remain absolute and unchallenged. The Amer lean people muat do absolute justice to the Filipinos. American experience, energy and admlnlstiative capacity are engaged In a great work, making for the economic advancement of the FIJI pinos and preparing them to take their proper place In the world's work when the time conies. Mr. Towne contends, however, that an injustice Is being done the Fill pinorby our failure to give them ac cess to the American market for their products. .This country took the Span Ish market from the Filipinos and then placed a barrier against their free commercial traffic with the United States. This barrier, Mr. Towne in ttlsts, and most Americans will agree with him, must be removed before the Filipinos can reap, the benefs they were promised when they were added to the colonial possessions of th United States. coincident witn Mr. Towne a an nouncement of his conversion cornea another appeal from the Anti-Impe rialist league, aigued by "Ertlng Wlnstow, secretary," and protesting "against the continued and indefinite retention of the Philippine Island." It is the old cry and wall, to which but one. intelligent response can ba made. Any action at this time looking to the granting of Independence to the Philippines would be nothing short of a crime. The Filipinos are not ripe for self-government and the declara tion of their independence would be a ignal for a reign of anarchy and dis order, for which the blame would ul timately fall upon this country. The general sentiment of the United States is undoubtedly against the permanent retention of the Philippines, "but It is also unalterably against asking them to walk when they are barely able to crawl. Mr. Towne can do the nation a distinct service by engaging in a little missionary work with his former associates of the Antl-Imperianst league. MR.' TAFT PEACE EMISSAR7. The address- of Secretary Taft at Tokio was apparently the one thing necessary to puf. a final and lasting qnletus on the talk of war between the United States and Japan. Serious thought of such a; conflict was never entertained in this, country, unless it was by some over-zealous hotheads in San Francisco who made an effort to magnify a police incident into an in ternational complication, but .develop ments have Bhown that the Japanese were disposed to look upon the matter more seriously. In their ' failure to understand the American form of gov ernment, with Its clearly marked lines between municipal, state and federal urlsdlctlons, the Japanese naturally looked upon the riots against their countrymen at San Francisco aa an act of the American government and they were slow to understand how lttould be otherwise. The little Nippon iiaa become particularly chesty since his victory over Russia and the elder statesmen in Japan found, the plain people eager : for, a fight with the United States, in resentment of the San '.Francisco mob incident. The war cry was made the paramount issue by '.a a. 1H.1..I I Aa In Tnnnn One 0 inO pumiCUl paino , v nt'u.u rnmnlications that were exceedingly embarrassing. ' The reception tendered to Mr. Taft showed that the officials of Japan ap preciate the situation and his address, in which he told the Japanese some very plain trutha about themselves, made the attituda of the administra tion and the majority of the American people plain. ' He appeared aa the bearer of a message of good will from President Roosevelt and the American people, a message that evidently has been accepted in the spirit In which it was sent. Mr. Taft has done tho United States a good service by dis pelling the "war clouds" from the in ternational atmosphere. Incidentally, he has rendered an even, greater serv? Ice' to Japan, ; i - PROGRESS OF POPULAH EDUCATION. Preliminary reports from the col leges and universities, most of which have opened their school year within. the last two weeks, indicate that the strong purpose of the early builders of the republic to foster education has acquired strength by them undreamed of. It is estimated that about 110,000 students have been entered in the academic courses in the private col leges and institutions of the country and fully 60,000 are enrolled in the state universities. In addition, about 70,000' are to attend professional schools, some of which are under state control, making a total of about 230.- 000 studying in advanced courses. About 1,000,000 pupils are enrolled In the high schools and the private in stitutions of corresponding grade. To these must be added the 17,000,000 attending the public schools and other institutions that give instruction in the grammar course grades. These figures are based partly upon the re ports from colleges and universities of which there are about 600 in the country, and on the normal increase from the. most recent available federal statistics. ' The growth of our educational In terests has kept pace with progress along other lines. A census taken Just prior to the civil war showed only sixty-nine high schools throughout the country, outside of the large cities 6t the east. Today .scarcely a commu nity of 6,000 inhabltanta la without ita high schools. Attendance at the high schools increased from 202,693 In 1890 to 679.702 In 1906. .and is now estimated to be nearly 1,000,000. or quite that number it those are In cluded who are taking the high school course In other Institutions. With the development of the high school a .marked growth has been shown also In primary instruction. There are about 3,600 kindergartens in the country today compared with forty-two in 1885. Many high schools are giving practical mechanical educa tion, in their manual training courses, and a marked trend is toward the practical In education. Many states have agricultural colleges which give special attention to Instruction in the agricultural and industrial arts. The report of the commissioner of education shows tha cost of thia ex pansion In the educational develop ment of the nation. With 38,000,000 In 1870 the public schools of the coun trv coat 863.000.000. while the" ex pense In' 1905, the latest government report on the subject, was $228,000,- 000, an Increase of more than 300 per cent, while the population bad In creased but a little more than 100. per cent. These figures do not include either the state universities nor the private or denominational colleges of the country, the expenses -for which were, estimated at $160,000,000 for 1905, making n, total of $378,000,000 for educational expense for the year. It Is a source of pride that our sys tem of popular education reaches over wider territorial area than that of any other country, offers instruction to the children of . all countries and that: Its advantages are grasped more generally than In any other nation on the globe.

It will serve as the head quarters of twenty-one natlona and will coat when fully completed 11.000,000, f which Andrew Carnriil contributed I7SO.000 and the different American nfttlons t'SO.OOu. This ImpoKlng International building will stand on one of the most attractive sltea of ground in the national capital, which covers five acres facing the Wh0te House tot, on tha east, and Potomac park on the south. They dimensions of the building will be approximately 180x160 feet. The main por tion will stand two stories above a high studded basement, and will, in turn, be surmounted by dignified ballustrados. Tha rear portion. In otder to cover the assembly hall, will rise still higher. . It will be constructed throughout steel and concrete with the effect of a Spanish stucco finish and with whlto marble steps, foundations and trimmings. The roofs will be of colored Spanish tile and the Interior exposed portions will be decorated with polychrome terra cotta. The general architecture will suggest Latin-American treatment out of respect to the fact that twenty of the twenty-one American republics are of Latin origin. .Its most notable featurea of construction wll be a capacious, typical, Spanish patio, of over fifty feet square. In the front sec tion, covered by a glase roof that can be opened In summer and closed In winter, thus providing protection against the woather for constantly running fountains and continually growing tropical plants; a large reading room, 100x00 feet, where can be seen all the South as well as North American publications, and a beautiful, dignified, assembly chamber, 100x70 feet, that Tor "the present purposes, may be called the "Hall of American Ambas sadors." which will provide the only room of Its kind In the United States specially designed for International conventions, re ceptions to distinguished foreigners and for diplomatic and social events of kindred nature. , The expected coming of Mr. Wu Pn8 fang as Chinese minister to the United States does not produce much Joy In Wash ington diplomatic circles. On the contrary most of those who came In contact with him In years past would rejoice If he never came back. The Washington correspond ent, of the Chicago Tribune says Wu could not have stajd forty-eight hours In a Eu ropean capital. Not only did he outra geously violate diplomatic etiquette, but he was "cheeky." He adopted without hesita tion Talleyrand's principle that language was made to conceal thoughts, and liked to talk about things In a way which would be Just within the border line of diplomatic propriety. When the question of his recep tion was tinder consideration the author ities of the State department reasoned In about this way: "Wu Is a man we know all about We understand he would lie for his country. Who wouldn.tr Knowing It, we will be constantly on guard. We are aware he haa done things which would Justify a re fusal to receive him. But If we should do so he would be appointed to a high posi tion In the Chinese foreign office. With our action rankling In his mind he would be always alert to do us Injury. Hero he will be more or less under our control. "Moreover, if China ahould send us an other 'man we would not know his char acter as we do Wu'i. He might and prob ably would be tricky, but we could not as sume; we would have to find out. There fore, It la wiser to let Wu come back, to watch him sharply, and If he should transcend diplomatic ethics to hand him his passport without delay." A new "poison squad" Is to ba created by Dr. Wiley, the 'chief chemist of the De partment of Agriculture, for the purpose of determining the Wholesomenert of so-called aoft drinks. f The Inquiry Is the 'result of a request from the War department for information regarding the different varieties of aerated drlnka that are sold at army canteens. Dr. Wiley will select a class of young men upon whom he will experiment with tha drinks usually sold at soda fountains and In pop bottlea to determine the effect, whether deleterious or otherwise. Mrs. Harriet Anderson, who drove all the way from Xenia, O., to Washington In an ox-cart to get her pension restored, has reached her home on the return trip, ac cording to advices received at the pension office. She Is 67 yeara old and the widow of a civil war soldier. Until ten months ago she was receiving 112 a month penalon, It being stopped then by the pension office on complaints as to the character of her house. She explained to the pension officials that aince her husband's death she had supported her self by letting rooms for men, and con vinced them that ltwaa a legitimate and proper business, the reports to the contrary emanating from Jealous neighbors. Before she started, on - the return trip she waa assured that 'her pension would be restored, and on her arrival at Xenla found a check for $120 for ten months' back pension awaiting her. One of tha characteristic sights of Wash ington Is to see tha government clerks going to and leaving their work. Many of them at tha treasury, and the other departments, too, for that matter, come In different atyled antiquated vehicles. Some of these are qld night liners which are nearly worn out after years of service here in social llnea and other duties, when many notablee . occupied tha cushioned seats. These cabs have fallen into the hands of old negro drivers and many of them have their regular customers, whom they carry to and from their work ave,ry day. Xot a tow of the employes use crutches. Others aro still atrong enough to get along with the aaslstanca of a cane, and riding on the cars, wend their way alowly through tha Immense structure to their respective quarters. Some of thoee ar riving In their own or hired vehicles almost have to be carried Into the build ing and to the elevator. A walk over to the national eapltol, aays the pathfinder now reveals to you an edi fice well worth seeing, aa a vaat amount of repairing and renovation haa been done since congress adjourned. Inside and out tha great building has been overhauled and only after spending some time In wav ing through It can you gain a conception of what tha domestic life of the eapltol is. For Instance, consider thst it contains 430 room! which are used for office, com mittee, and atorage purposes: 679 windows, 660 doorways. 140 fireplaces, 2S1 waah basins and sinks, 14 bath tuba, 15 veatilatlng fans, IS motors, I elevators, 1.000 horsepower of boilers. steam pumps, a lighting aervlca equivalent to 26.000 Incandescent lamps of 14 candlepower each, and over 14,000 square feet of sky-lights. This Is all on tha Inside, and when we look over the outside and tha forty acres of land , to be . kept up, wo begin to realise that It Is no small job to keep the cobwebs ouj. of the eapltol and the weeda out of the yard.

Weatera Money Invested In Easier Short Time Loans. Philadelphia Record. . At tha meeting of the bankers of Ne braska Mr, Hall of Lincoln said that the agents of eastern brokers and Investment concerns are now In that state offering their paper to Nebraska banks. It does not follow, as Mr. Hall seemed to think, that the financial relatttins between the cast and tha west had been reversed. The change la that whereas the western banks used to send their money east to sci'k In vestment, the demand for the money In the east la now so great that the eastern con cerns send to Nebraska after It. It Is not new for the west to send money east. Profits are large In the west, and available investments aro chiefly real es tate and active business, from neither of which can money be quickly withdrawn. The business of tha west depends so largely' upon tha harvests that It is excessively act ive in the fall and early winter and dull In the late spring and summer. In New York, however, the stock market affords a con tinuous fluid for tha employment of money, so It has boon Iho custom of western banks for a long time to send money that they have no Immediate use for, but are liable to need-in the fall, to the east for tem porary employment. When the cropa are to be moved the west recalls these funds, loans are called, stocks are sold In order to meet the rslls, and there is a declining stock market and more or less stringent money. It is not yet shown that this course has changed radically. The west la richer than It was and recalls its deposits Instead of making loans, but in one case as well as In the other the nionty is withdrawn from New York becauae needed more In the west and south. One recent financial writer de nies that the west Is Sending money east and Insists that It Is Investing Its money at home. But in his address in Omaha Mr. Hall says that between t7.OOO.00O and tft.ObO,- 000 weekly have been placed In New York. Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago by Na braska banks In short loans. According to this the flow of money eastward In tho spring and summer goes on aa before, and if so, the flow will be westwsrd In the fall and early winter, as it haa been for many years. , It ia Liver Jruls vssxtiS Ak your jack if ht loom iafer mi or ttugguh liuer than Aur' b8 "Ohimod Shoes OR!
