Lincoln worked the GROWER.

Mr.. Edward Rosewater. of the Oma-

ing the past week, says the Washing

Lincoln" said Mr.. Rosewater. few
nights ago, was the first President /
was privileged to meet. 1t was during
the Civil War. At that time I was in
charge of the telegraph bureau in the
War Department. We were working
day and night at fever heat, and when
the news came of the fall of Vicksburg
I remember that we sent a messenger
out for a can of beer. OF course, it was
contrary to the rules of the office to
drink anything of the sort there, but
we were so exhausted, and, withal. so
jubilant over the glorious news, that
We couldn't resist the temptation to in

There was no use of attempting to deny

chief executive. He had seen the tell

practically empty, Lincoln was too

strictest orders of the War Depart

notice. Coming over to my instrument
he asked to see the latest dispatch. he
read it slowly, handed it back, and,
turning to the messenger, who had
been hoping for a favorable moment to
make his escape with the can, Lincoln
asked:
What have you in that bucket?"
Answering for the startled messen-
ger, I explained what we had been do
ing.

all.

and fill it up again. SO saying he turn

did, that the capitulation of the South

point of the war, and after the many
Northern reverses the news of so sig

sacred thing to us. When he had fin.

SEEKING TO BE EMPIRE BUILDERS

The Philippine Commission, of which
Judge William II. Taft is president, is
asking for powers so vast that even
the Republican leaders of Congress
are astounded. 1t is now beginning to
be understood what Mr.. Root, the Sec
rotary of War, and the President
meant, when they said--the former in
his annual report and the latter in
his message-that in order to paeify
the Filipinos they should have their
time and attention occupied with great
industrial enterprises.
The members of the commission
seem to regard themselves as empire
builders. They ask powers from Con-
gress such as no similar body of men
ever possessed. If they were not hon
est, AMI Congress should grant their
requests, they could, in very few
possessed by the Standard Oil mag
mates.
Among the powers they ask are the
following: The right to issue charters
for street railroads, and for steam
roads TO any part of the islands. to
give land grants to steam roads, to
authorize cities to issue bonds for pub
lie improvements, to buy hundreds Of
thousands of acres of improved lands
now owned by the friars, and to issue
bonds for the lands. to sell these lands
to the people on the installment plan,
to charter all sorts of industrial en-
terprises and to grant mining and tim
Der concessions. etc. Indeed, it seems
as If they want authority to do about
everything which Congress, or ruler
having absolute power. could do.
No doubt the commission is sincere
in asking these vast powers. 1t does
not mean to profit by them, but who
can say that It viii never be tempted
to misuse its power? A year hence its
personel may be entirely changed. An
ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS man may
become chairman of it, and its mem
bers may be more concerned about fll-
ing their pockets than the uplifting Of
the Filipinos.
II is probable that there are syndl-
Gates waiting to grab the franchises
and the mines and timber lands. The
Filipinos. who are not versed in mod
ern methods Of grabbing franchise
rights, and who do not know the value
of them in their own islands would
become simply toilers for capitalists.
] Their rich heritage would be taken
from them, and. that too. by authority
of the government which ought to pro-
tect their interests.
II is probable that Congress will not
give the commission the authority it
wants. Whatever It is permitted to
do will be done under the supervision
Of Congress.

Az EXPERINIENT.

Capital and labor are going to make
a great effort to settle their differ
ences without strikes and lockouts.
They are going to make an experiment
There will be very general rejoicing If
il proves to be successful. And,
strange as it may seem, Senator Han
ma is the chief figure in this expert
ment. 1t was not until heads of great
industries and the leaders of labor met
in conference the other day that it was
generally known that he was a friend
of the laborer and approved of labor
unions. During the presidential cam
paign of 1896 and that of 1900 it was
asserted quite often that he was an
oppressor of labor. 1t was known of
course that he was an employer of
very large number of laborers, and it
was assumed no doubt from that fact
1t seems, however. that the labor
leaders have known for some time that
he is friendly to organized labor and
that he is ready to advance in every
way he can the cause of labor. If there
were not very kindly feeling towards
been put at the head of the committee
that is to have charge of the work of
settling labor troubles.
There is every reason to believe
that the effort to make this experiment
successful will be sincere. Both capt.
toI
unless there is harmony between capt.
tai and labor-unless they work to-
gether-the United States will not be
allie to continue capturing the mar
kets of the world as they have been
doing in recent years. If our work.
men are to be kept employer we must
place our manufactured products in
every market. That we can compete
successfully in all markets has been
abundantly demonstrated. Our sue
cess is largely due to the superior skill
of our workman and his ability to do
a greater amount of work in a given
time.
Our worknen ought to have a fair
share of the profits resulting from the
combination of capital and labor. If
that is given them there will seldom be
a strike, and capital ought to be per-
mitted to earn a fair dividend. If la
Dor will permit it to do so there will
be but few loekouts.
or course the experiment that has
been undertaken-the experiment. of
settling labor troubles before they
reach the acute stage-may prove a
failure, but it is certain that it will
be given a fair trial Some of the
ablest and sincerest men in the coun-
try are concerned in it, and if it is
not a success there will be little ground
for hoping for the settlement of differ
ences between capital and labor except
in the old way-the way that brings
misery into the home of labor and ruin
in the house of capital.

that the Office is of life tenure, with a

he will accept the offer and resign as
