A CONFUSION OF NAMES.
The President Requested 20 Settle u
Geographical Puzzle.

The President, the Secretary of the
Interior, the Postmaster General. the
Governor of Oklahoma, the Delegate in
Congress from Oklahoma, and the Assist
ant Commissioner of the General Land
Office have been parties TO an interesting
controversy over the naming of a county
and county seat in Oklahoma Territory.
The county was laid out by the Assistant
Commissioner, and il is the business of
the Interior Department to give Ii
name As the county seat will be post
office the Postmaster General has the
privilege of naming it. Governor Jenkins
and Delegate Flynn wanted the county
called Mckinley. and as Fort Sill. where
General Lawton was stationed when he
captured the willy old Apache, Geronimo.
is located within its borders, they thought
it appropriate that the county seat should
be called Lawton.
The Postoffice Department officials ad-
vanced the theory that some day Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territory might be merged
into a State, and as there are poStofnceS
of Lawson in the former and Lawton IN
the latter they opposed the recommends
tiou of the Governor and the Delegate
that the new county seat be named in
honor of the late army officer on the
ground that confusion would result. The
Governor and the Delegate took the mat
ter 10 the President, and he persuaded
the Postmaster General 20 agree to their
recommendation, with the understanding
that the name of the L&wton in Indian
Territory would De changed.
Meanwhile the Interior Department ap-
proved the request of the Governor and
the Delegate that the new county be
called Mckinley. But opposition from the
President himself was encountered. He
is said to be in doubt as to the propriety
of bestowing his own name on county
during his Administration, and the matter
has not been adjusted.

CarIyIe and Emerson.

A story that is told of Carlyle and
Emerson illustrates fairly well two sys-
tens Of thought to be found in the
world. one or the other of which CON
trolls in some measure every member Of
the human race. Emerson went to Lon
don. and Carlyle and he had arguments
Emerson was persistently serene. Car
lyle as persistentiy explosive. Carlyle
finally took his guest down to London
slum and showed him the very lowest
specimens Of humanity he could lind
there. Then he turned to the American
and enquired, An moo. man, dye be-
lieve in the deeyil noo?'
Emerson said he regarded all those
people as parts of a great machine. and
It seemed to him they were doing their
work quite satisfactorily. He was the
same Emerson who. when accosted on
Boston Common by an excited Millerite
and told that the world would come TO
an end next Tuesday" replied that he
thought he could get along without it.
To some people this invincible sereni-
ty may seem simply colossal egotism,
on a level with that Of Louis XIV in his
declaration, Il am the state" or that
of Napoleon's magnificent message
after terrible disasters in Russia, The
Emperor Is safe" There may be some
thing akin to egotism in them all.
Great men have always been free from
many of the doubts and misgiving
which actuate others. This does not
mean that they have had no doubts; it
may mean that their problems are so
far above and beyond those Of the aver
age man that his seem unworthy of
consideration. A man who is riding
hard to save great forest from confia-
grafton cannot stop to rescue a wood
pecker's nest already overtaken by the
flames.
There are two temperaments of op-
posite types, each represented in one Of
these two writers; the impemous emo
tional impElslve personality. hurting
itself against Whatever seems to be op-
posing it or it's ideals. and the calm.

doing it as a mere police regulation.
What would be the result? Simply
this: The producers of sugar would
either have to stop producing or export
the Whole of it. But to call such reg
ulation as that an export bounty would
be an insult to common sense. Ii then,
the absolute prohibition of the use of
sugar within a country cannot fairly be
regarded as a bounty on its export. still
less can a mere tax on consumption be
so considered.
When we turn from the technical fea-
lures of the question to the business
aspect of the matter. it looks very much
worse for Mr.. Gage. Presumably he
was appointed Secretary of the Treas
ury upon the supposition that he was
good business man. In private life an
employe who committed so egregious
blunder. and one fraught with conse-
quences so disastrous TO his employer.
would not be permitted to hold his po-
sition single day. In order to collect
eountervailing duties upon three hun
dred thousand dollars worth of sugar
from Russia, he endangecs our entire
export trade with that country,
amounting to almost a hundred times as
much; and even the countervailing du
ties are themselves a direct injury to
the seventy-five millions of people in
this country who use sugar. When a
man gets himself into such a position
as Mr.. Gage now occupies. it is no Won
der that he desires the newspaper dis
cussion TO stop-but it won't.

neither was quite an extremist; each
had something of the others greatness
Carlyle. for all his pessimism and de-
nunciation. saw in flashes the same
truths perceived by Emerson, and IN
his calmer moods was content TO wait
for things to work themselves out ac-
cording to law; his eagerness to make
people understand the law did not bllnd
him to the fact that it must rule. on
the other hand. Emerson did not over
look the fact that in the great plan OF
things emotionalism and impetuosity
are necessary, and he was by no means
inactive when the time came for him to
speak or to act. He could oppose
wrong as vigorously as if he did not be-
lieve it to be, in its time, step toward
the ultimate right; because he recoS-
nized the fact that the wrong had to
disappear before the right could be ac-
conlplished. It all comes to the same
thing in the end.
Lesser men than these two go to one
extreme or the other, and become IA
natics or dilettantes. The wise refor-
mer, or philosopher citizen, VIII
have strong convictions, and yet be
ready to change them if there is need;
he will be eager to do what he believes
is right but careful to do it so far as
possible in the best way; and he will be
tolerant above all things. for the world
can little afford to have its earnest and
thoughtful men destroying one an
others work through blind and mis-
taken zeal

RUSH TO SECURE REBATES.
Retail Tobacco Dealers Taking Adj
yantaEe of War Tax Reduction.

RICHMOND, Va. June 26.-The reduc-
tion of the g-a1 tax on tobacco will go into
effect on the 1st of the month. and the
retail dealers. in anticipation of that
event, are preparing to reap hnanciai
harvest The reduction amounts on man.
ufactured tobacco to $40 per hundred
and the Government win allow that re-
bate on all stock which the dealers have
on hand, but will not recognize any claim
for less than $40.
The consequence of this ruling is that
the manufacturers, not only here Dut an
over the country, have been overwhelmed
with orders far in excess of the naturai
demand at this season of the year. so
great has been the anxiety of the retailers
to have heavy stocks on hand when the
reduction goes into effect that where they
have been in the habit of ordering stock
sufficient to meet their wants for thirty
days they have already placed orders tar
beyond the ability of the manufacturers
to fill. almost in every instance ordering
supplies for sixty and ninety days, ana IN
some instances even further ahead.
AS a result last years crop has been
practically exhausted, and in some IN
stances the manufacturers have been COM
PEELED to draw on the new crop but where
this has been done, the reservation mas
been made, particularly in the matter
of plug tobaccos, that they shall not be
placed on sale under thirty days.
AT the Tobacco Exchange this morning
the r. A. Paterson people said that there
would not be any reduction in the price
to retailers after the first of the month.
as when the war tax was put on the man.
ufacturers had borne the bulk of 1t and
tie reduction in the tax. which goes into
effect on the first of the month, would
not be sufficient to meet the increased
cost of manufacture.
W. T. Hancock conGr=1eG the report OF
the heavy buying of the retailers to
secure the rebate, and said that pretty
near all Of his last years stock had been
exhausted. He thought that instead of
any reduction in price following the re-
duction in the war tax, that there would
shortly be a decided Increase in the cost
of manufactured tobacco, as there had
been a rise of almost 100 per cent In the
product He said that where short, time
ago lugs could be bought on the exchange
for s. and s6, the same grades were To-Day

A RECOUNT PROBABLE.
Census Returns in Maryland May
Need Yerificafion.

1t appears probable that another re-
count of Maryland census returns will be
necessary. The enumeration of the popu-
lation of Kent County is matter that
seems to require investigation.
The State census, taken after the Fed
eral census. shows a discrepancy of many
thousa nds in the returns. Mr. Sloan, the
geographer of the Census Office. with a
corps of clerks, is now in Maryland GEM
pairing the Census Bureau returns with
the results shown by the State census
1t is believed to be probable that condi-
tions of fraud will be developed as in
Charles and Prince George counties and
that a recount Will be instituted by the
Census Bureau.
The work now being done is not in the
nature of an investigation, but 1t is be-
lieved that thorough enquiry will fol-
low The comparison of the Federal and
State lists is being made at the request
of the State authorities, and was COM
mepced several days ago.
Dr. Wines. Assistant Director OF the
Twelfth Census, is authority for the state
ment that the State authorities have
given their enumerators the privilege to
amend their returns by the addition Of
any persons not taken by them in the
WOrk Oh
The prosecuting attorney of Kent Coun-
ty applied to the Assistant Attorney
General of Maryland, John c. Rose,
requesting that the Federal lists be
placed at the disposal of the State
enumerators for purposes of compari-
son. This permission was granted by
the Census authorities. and Mr.. Sloan
with a corps of assistants took the
necessary papers to Baltimore several
days ago and the work of eompar-
ing the lists has been going forward.
One out of the eleven districts, it is un-
derstood. has already been completed,
with the result that numerous omissions
have been found in both lists. In the Sec
ond district alone the Federal list shows
a thousand more residents than the State
list, and this too, Notwithstanding the
fact that T76 names have been collected
by the State enumerators which do not
appear on the Federal lists.
The State is now engaged in looking up
those whose names appear on the Federal
lists alone for the purpose of adding all
names that are rightfully those of resi-
dents TO their enumeration.
II Is not expected, however, that this
search will result in finding all of the de-
ficient names to be those of actual per-
sons. and a situation similar to that in
the other Maryland counties will, ii Is
thought, Develop. DR. Wines states that
should the developments warrant ii. an
investigation by the Director of the Cen
sus will undoubtedly be made. 1T is

PEACE SUCCEEDING WAR.
Fifteen InsuIar Governors Installed
In the Philippines.

In the mail received from General Mac
Arthur at the War Department yesterday
was report upon the organization of
civil government in fifteen of the prov
inces of the Philippines. The officials to
conduct affairs in these provinces were
appointed by the Philippine Commission
with the approval of the military com
mander.
In each province there has been ap-
pointed a Governor, secretary, a su-
pervisor. and fiscal TO conduct affairs.
Their salaries range from $1,000 down to
81 200 year. according 70 the size of the
province, it's importance, and the import
ance of the Office administered. The ad-
vices state that natives have been select
ed TO fill these positions in the pacitied
provinces, but in those where hostilities
are still in progress or where there are
any organizations of insurgents, army Of
ficers have been designated to perform
the functions of civil officials, and are. OF
course, under the Military Governor until
July 4, when Judge Taft becomes the
Civil Governor.
The native officials have been required
to furnish bonds for the faithful perform
ance of their duties. but Ihfs action has
not been deemed necessary in the case of
the army officers.

Wage workers and Small Producers


It is morally certain that the Repub-
hcan leaders will permit no action to be
taken within that party looking to the
removal of protective duties from trust
controlled goods. Large numbers of in
dividual Republicans, like Mr.. Babcock.
admit the wrong. but those in public
life who are willing to brave the men
who dictate the party policy are too
few to count for much in such an effort.
The most of Republicans. in office and
out, while not having the hardihood to
deny the evil, viii endeavor to prevent
all action by raising objections TO every
proposed remedy. Some of them will
claim, and are now claiming. that if we
endeavor to curb the trusts it will SIM
ply react and injure the wage worker;
while others will continue to claim. as
they are doing now, that the effect viii
be TO destroy the small producers. These
pleas have a certain plausibility and
will deceive many well-meaning people.
It must be remembered, though. that
there never yet was public abuse the
correcting of which has not been resist
ed by specious pleas that if blows are
aimed at the wrongdoers they will be
certain to hurt others. Measurably this
may be true in the most of cases. 1t
may not, as rule, be possible TO re-
dress any great wrong without now
and then hurting somebody who has not
Intentionally been party to the wrong.
But this is no reason whySthe large
public should suffer forever. and make
no effort TO obtain relief.
In the matter of the trusts the two
objections mentioned have about as
little merit as any that can well be i'm
agined. It is simply impossible to show
how the formation of trusts has the
slightest tendency to benefit labor
Quite the contrary. The primary object
of these combines is TO advance their
own interests at the expense Of every
body else, the wage worker included. If
now and then an honest worl1ingman is
benefited by securing a good place and
holding it. such cases are wholly excep-
tional. According to the trust pro-
gramme, as soon as the price, Of par
ticular product begins to fall, IL must
be sustained by curtailing production,
working force, short time. or a cut in
the wages Besides. the more the coun-
try's great industries become concen-
trated in a few hands. the greater win
be the power of the employers, and the
more helpless the working men and
women will be.
AS TO the pretended plea for the small
producers. it is enough to say that in a
very short time there viii not be any
such, unless the trusts are restrained in
some way. The small producers are be-
ing crowded out with almost incredible
rapidity. They might as we'll be de-
stroyed by the public in an effort at
seIf-protection as to be swallowed by
the huge cormorants that are preying
upon all classes alike.
But there is no danger of the small
producers being ruined by such an ef-.
fort to remedy the trust evil. 1t viii
benefit the country at large, and this
will help the small producers along with
the rest In most cases the tariff as it
stands now gives the huge trust more
advantage over its small competitors
than it would otherwise have.
