WORK IN EARNEST
Board of Trade Has Established Per
 manent Headquarters

The practical work of the Board of Trade has begun in earnest, and in a short time the merchants hope to feel the re- suits.
 Headquarters have been established in room No. 426 on the fourth floor of the Chalifoux building, which is in charge of Secretary William Ryan. The room has beon neatly furnished with desks, chairs files and other needed articles, and any member of the board will find a pleasant welcome.
 Secretary Ryan has been kept busy with a variety of matters, some of them rou- tine and others of pressing importance. He is also assisting Chairman F<lotz, of the suburban trains and excursion commit tee, which has in charge the Board of Trade Day celebration to be held on July 25. The arrangements for the celebration are well in hand, and nothing will be left undone to make the day signal success
 Emil Loveman, who filled the position of assistant secretary under Temporary Sec retary O'Neill, is assisting Secretary Ryan, and will continue in that position for some days until the work is thoroughly sys- tematized.
 The several standing committees will hold their meeting in Secretary Ryan's of flee, but the regular semi-monthly meet ings of the board will be held in Elks' hall until permanent quarters can be obtained
 President Chalifoux furnished the room in the Chalifoux building free of rent until October l. for which he was given a vote of thanks at the last meeting of the board.

consonance with public opinion.
In his second proposition Gov. Sayers
stands upon better ground. 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that if the matter of restraint of
trusts is with the states, in whole or in
part, they must agree upon a line of pro-
cedure. They cannot afford to act upon in
dividual lines, and therefore play at cross
purposes The task, if everything were
favorable for its execution, would be diff
cult enough but with everything unfavor-
able it cannot be executed at all except by
a strong and steady pull altogether. One

for New York. fourth for California. and

Philosophers who have sought for a pro-
phetc characterization of the coming CEN
fury, appropriately following the designa-
ton of the present period as the age OF In
vention. may perhaps solve their difficulty
by agreeing tlat there is at present no more
promising outlook than that the next few
decades will be devoted to psychological
progress Indeed the age of bacteria has
already opened. Science has but begun it's
inquiries toward the eradication of disease
before it $ confronted with a demand for
the disclosure of the benevolent bacteria
which will afford positive factors for the
preservation of health. In other words il
is not enough to find the evil agents and
exterminate them. We must make the ac-
quaintance and use the services of a host of
good germs. Somebody has already started
al work on artificial fermentation. for the
cheapening Of wine production. Brewers
are searching for infnitesimal friends to
negotiate for new alliances. Bread makers
are clamoring for help from the germs.
The outlook is that at this rate of progress
sion the culture tube will effectually re-
place the val and kneadng tray, while the
laboratory will succeed the workshop.
Meanwhile there is d great deal of work to
be done in a defensive warfare against the
bacterial pests. Science is not yet through
with the negative side of the problem, by
any means. 1t is going further than ever
before in making bugaboos out of hitherto
harmless things and in prescribing a course
of the most rigid conduct for the modern
man if he would avoid the drinking, breath
ing absorbing of evil-natured buglets
just now German scientist, according to
the Scientific American, is conducting a re-
search into the domestic hiding places of
the malevolent bacteria. He finds that the
average refrigerator is veritable summer

water of melted ice. Only by means of a

Several Strings to His Row.

1t is seldom that a political leader is sus-

The Bryan men are doubtful of his 10y

be a signal victory, and give him great

the country. He would, of course. head
the Buckeye delegation to the next demo-
cratic national convention, and it requires
no lively fancy TO picture the enthusiasm
Of his reception by that body.
But We're he to miss first place; If it de-
veioped that the Nebraskan could not be

He is quoted admitting that he would.
And probably lie would. He was candi-

The Illumination ON Dewey Night.

There are many fine opportunities for IL
luminative display along the line of the
march on Monday night October =, when
Admiral Dewey cones to town. In the
stretch from Sixth street to the Treasury
and along Fifteenth street around to the
entrance to the White House the raw ma
terial for some exceptionally handsome con-
tributions to the celebration is the
ground. In view of the widespread spirit
of earnest participation in the welcome
which pervades the community it is not
too much to expect that this Material will
be fully utilized to the end that the route
of the procession will be ablaze with lights.
The recesses in the avenue line formed
by the crossing of streets at angles afford
chances for special features of the illumi-
nation. In one of these stands the Post
Office building, which, whatever may be
the divergence of public opinion as to its
architectural attractiveness is nevertheless
an exceptional basis for a unique night
decoration. The great tower stretching
skyward might be hung with incandescent
lamps to send far into the country the
rays or the Intelligence of the admiraIs
arrival There are many windows in the
fronts, each of which could at small cost
be given an individual light, presenting a
beautiful. spectacle In any event the great
pile could be brought out from the OBJ
security of the night by means of search
lights. as in the case of the Capitol. What
with the public funds and the efforts of the
occupants of that building and the aid
which may be extended by the central COM
mttee the post office could be given dress
of fire for the occasion which would in it
self be a worthy illumination in honor of
the hero. Another unique opportunity pre-
sents itself in the lone chimney in the
square formerly occupied by the power
house. Here is a rare chance for an cleo
trical display of appropriate character. a
bunch of lamps cleverly arranged at the
top, or festoon hung from the summit.
or draped in d graceful curve to some near
by building would be a striking addition
TO the avenues decorations. Other prom
inent structures along the line suggest
themselves as readily available for this
purpose. The Saks corner the Parker
Bridget corner. the entire block between
Ninth and Tenth streets, the Raleigh hotel
the Southern Railroad offices, the National
Theater and the Post building, the hotels
in the block above, and the entire space
east of the Treasury front all are notable
instances of this splendid opportunity
Aside from the special designs and elabo-
rate displays it is expected that every
smaller structure will be illuminated. From
every window should shine a light. From
every roof red fire should burn. Fireworks
will be exploded in great abundance. But
when the rocket has Kissed its way to its
climax, and the roman candle has sputter-
ed forth its fountain of colors and sparks
and the red fire has faded into dull smoke
the avenues steady glow of welcoming
lamps should shine on, giving a cheerful
significance to the greeting of the capitals

4 Suggestion for Dom Paul,

From the New York Journal.
Here is a suggestion for President Kru-
ger, rendered gratis:
Offer to adopt verbatim the naturaliza-
ton laws of the United States. They are
perfectly satisfactory to England. They
include a five-year franchise. They also
include the requirement of an explicit re-
nunciation of all allegiance to any foreign
power, and especially to that of which the
applicant has previously been a citizen or
subject.
Under such rule the number of Out
landers applying for naturalization would
not be sufficient to endanger the indepen-
dence OF the Transvaal. And surely Eng
land would not go to war with a little re-
public for doing something that is entirely
satisfactory when done by big one.

them, is third of century behind the
times in his own state. His idea that an
ignorant negro is a better citizen than an

The Truth. Rather Than victory.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
1t appears that too many of the dele
gates to the Chicago trust conference went
there with opinions made up and looking
only for arguments to confirm these pre-
Judgments, and so they divided into fac
tions. This savors more of political pas
sion than Of scientific calmness and earnest
ness. The aim of the conference ought to
have been to seek the TRUTH not victory
for cause by majority vote, be it right
or wrong.
