when constructed. the government will
have the choice of at least four indepen-

which TO ship men and freight. thus in
surfing reasonable rates always.
At San Francisco the entire transcon-

Of one gigantic corporation, whose motto
is to charge "all that the traffic will

Senator Foraker replies 10 the TRADE OF
Mr.. Carnegie against the annexation Of the
Philippines and 10 the allegation Of that
prohibits the ''open door, policy. In an IN
,ervsew recently. as follows:
"Mr. Carnegie Is a strong. vigorous and
torceful man. whose opinions are entitled
10 the highest respect but ne Is msnifestly
greater IL commerce and manufacture than
as constitutional lawyer. He rails AZ the
open door policy in the Philippines. not
only because he thinks II Is a bad business
policy. but also, and particularly. because,
az he asserts. 1t Is in violation Of the con-
sfitu,icn- As TO whether Ii is good or bad
business policy. men may differ. but as 10
the constitutional question, that Is another
matter. and one about which there is no
room for controversy. as Mr.. Carnegie win
quickly learn when he takes the question
into the courts. as he threatens TO do
Senator Foraker then quotes the language
of the constitution applicable to the case
as follows:
But all duties, imposts and excuses shall
De uniform throughout the United States"
Cart. !, Sec. S, United States constitution,
and comments as follows: Thus IL Is seen
that the language employed by the consti-
tuition is. that all such duties shall be uni
form throughout the United States, not the
United States and the territories. Section
g. Article 4. provides that congress shall
have power 10 make ali needful rules and
regulations respecting the territories and
other property belonging to the United
States. This clause confers on the congress
pienary power TO deal with each territory
according 10 its position and condition and
requirements. and is another illustration OF
the wisdom and foresight of the men who
framed and established our government.
The constitution further provides, in Arti
Gle s, that all treaties made, and which
shall be made under the authority OF the
United States, shall be the supreme law OF
the land Under this clause, II the treaty
about to be entered into should so provide
and be ratified, the open door policy OF the
Philippines could be established beyond
peril OF Mr.. Carnegies lawsuit

II Is surprising how little enthusiasm is
manifested in Germany with regard 10 the
return OF the imperial pilgrims from the
Holy Land. An attempt to concert meas
ures for public welcome in Berlin fell fiat.
TO the fact that OF the eight members Of
the committee five were court tradesmen.
and two Of them high police officials. An
other paper explained the singular lack OF
public enthusiasm by the fact that the
kaiser was not returning home from cru
sade. but merely from a cooks tour.

not understand.
What's II for, mammal she asked one
day. What do we go to church for?'
Mamma tried to. tell her the reasons, and
concluded by saying:
And when you cannot understand what
the minister means you must remember he
is talking about good and beautiful things;
and you must make up your mind TO think
of something good yourself
That day Marjorie was very quiet in
church and her mother praised her for IL
