PRESIDENT ANDREWS, OF Brown uni
versity, declares that the recent car
was the wickedest man alive. This is
unreason. He acted according to his
lights, which were dim. He was
taught that his highest duty was to
preserve the autocratic power of the
throne. and he was rendered incapable
by his training. and also by inherited
defects, of recognizing his duty to his
people, which is plain to all who have
lived in the atmosphere of modern civ
ilization and who are Unprejudiced by
personal interests. The crime. the
great wicke1ness which President
Andrews charges against the czar, be
'ongs to organized society

DR. PRrpENrE MoRAEs.

Dr.. PRUDENTE MoRAEs. elected
president of the republic Of Brazil last
May, was inaugurated without any of
the riots or disorders which had been
predicted. He succeeds General
Peixoto whose administration has
been turbulent and costly but leaves
the new republic stable. The change
is chiefly notable from the fact that
PeixotO as a soldier naturally pushed
military methods to the front. while
Moraes being a civilian promises TO
give business administration, and
pay special attention to developing
the material resources of the country
and extending It's commerce with
other nations.

New Argument Against the Nude In


Iowa Is considerably torn up
over the question whether a figure
which is to surmount public
monument shall be nude or drap-
ed. Opinions on the subject are
various and discussion wakes
warm. The matter is talked of
from the standpoints of art. pro-
priety, morals, and the weather.
The last named element Is drag.
ged into the argument by a news
paper which evidently wants to
dodge the points made by object
o-s to the nude In art. This paper
which is published in Keokuk. ur-
ges that while a naked statue may
be all right in warm Southern
cline, it is quite inappropriate to n
high, chilly latitude like that of
northern Iowa, Hence. the statue
should be draped, because Its ex-
p0sure to inclement weather would
be out of harmony with all ideas of
comfort, and might give the shiv-
ers to sympathetic behollers.

ONE of the interesting things
about Japan's campaign in China
is that the japanese themselves
have subscribed all the money need
ed for the conduct of the war. The
loan which the Government asked
for short time ago was subscribed
at once, and the amount offered
was greater than that accepted.
The European money lenders have
not been called upon, and 1t seems
that some Of them, who had ex-
pected to make big profit out of a
Japane Sc war loan, are disappoint-
ed, and do not like the Japanese
ways.
China, on the 'other hand, has
been negotia ting for loans in Eu-
rope ever since she got into trouble,
but her prospects of getting the
taels which she needs or of being
able to furnish the security which
is required are very poor.
In battle, in diplomacy, and In
finance the experience of China
are unlike those of Japan.

OF course he was surprised, and no
doubt had visions of another strike

as a grievance committee. His
surprise, however, was complete
when Mr.. Schewnke stepped fortt,
and in short speech presented to
him roll-top desk filled out with
a silver ink stand, gold-pen and

thanked the boys for their kind

her laughter. She did not laugh
however, when Mr.. Schwenke pre-
sented to her fine silver tea set

that she could not find words Il

Nothing in This World

Is so cheap as newspaper, whether it be
measured BY the cost Of its production or BY its
ualue to the consumer. We are talking about
an american, metropolitan. daily paper Of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good you cant afford in this day
of progress to be Without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just Hke it. 1t prints all the real news Of
the world-the news you care for euery day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do days
work too. 1t is an Independent paper and giues
all political news free from the taint Of party
bias. In word-it's a complete, condensed
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west-l25, 900 to 14O, 900 a. day.

GREAT DRY DOCKS FOR THE NAVY,
The One at Port Royal is Nearl,
Completed, and is the Largest in
the Country,

VuC
The great dry dock building for
the navy at Port Royal, s. c., is
about completed, and will be ac-
cepted by the department as soon
as the pumps for clearing the basin
of water are tested. This dock is
the largest in the c'untry, and is
capable of accommodation the great
battle ships now building. No
other dock is large enough to hold
them, and as the Indiana, the first
of the three ships authorized four
years ago, is now nearly ready to
be docked, she will probably be the
first vessel placed in it. There il
yet much work to be done before
the dock will he in condition to re.
ceive vessels. and work is to be be-
gun by the Government the latter
part of this month in dredging a
channel from the mouth of the
dock to deep water outside. The
appropriation is now available, and
1t is expected that the work can he
completed in two months.
This new dock was authorized
during Secretary Tracy's admins
tration, and is the first of the three
large docks now building to be An.
ished. Its length is 627 feet, with
maximum breadth of 76 feet and
minimum breadth of A feet. Its
location makes 1t well adapted fol
all war ships on the home station
south of New York, and will be ex.
tensively used by the West Indian
squadron and ships requiring at
