No Return Checks Given.

For the third time Gen. William j.
Sewell has been elected to the United
States Senate from New Jersey, says the
Philadelphia Post. Senator Sewell is a
serious man with positive manner, and
a certain keen wit that he possesses may
be due to the fact that he is of Irish
birth.
MIR. Sewell, who was born in 1885 and
came to this country at an early age,
was engaged in business at the out
break of the Civil War. He enlisted in
the Northern army, was given a cap
tain's commiss on, and at the close of
the war was major general.
In 1872 he actively entered politics, and,
after being for several terms state SEN
ator, he was elected to the United States
Senate. He was chairman of the New
Jersey delegation at seven consecutive
national conventions, including that of
1900
He was for some time actively inter-
ested in railroad affairs, and once, when
he was holding an important Office In
one of the large trunk lines, a political
enemy came to him in a somewhat
shamefaced way and said:
General, i should like to have trans
portation for myself and family to Chi
cago."

him to make out the passes to Chicago
The politician accepted them. expressed
his thanks and departed. But in a few
minutes he returned. exclaiming:

The political future of Cuba and the
pensive problems that the American peo-
pie will have to settle in one way or an
other either by war or by patient wait
ing. But the sociological problem that
has come with our domination of the ISL
ands is greater than the political one. In
short, we have taken on another race is
sue, and one that is likely to prove ex-
tremely difficult. The white people of
the Southern part Of the.-United States
have been wrestling with such an issue
for many years. They have had to gov
eTn and to great extent support an in
ferior race of people incapable of gov
erning and supporting themselves. 1t
has been a hard task, one never before
placed upon the shoulders of a free peo-
pie. Some progress has been made, new
ertheless, the problem is still unsolved In
its entirety. The people of the North
ern section of the country know little of
the struggles that have been endured by
the whites of the South with relation TO
this matter. To them the blacks have
been merely a far-removed incident, TO
be considered in the abstract and coddled
at long distance. There are indications.
however, that the race problem in the
United States is becoming a much more
general one. 1t is now commanding at
tention in Indiana, Illinois, New York
and other Northern communities.
There is, however. this wide difference
between the race prob EN- which we have
We have acquired in the islands: Here
we have as tAe dominant element a con-
solidaton of fair-skinned races originally
from the north of Europe-English,
Scotch, Irish. German. scandinavian,
Dutch. ETC., the best elements for insti-
tuting and maintaining a good and free
government. To contend with, and make
the race problem, we have the negro. the
most docile and tractable of all the dark
skinned races In the Philippines We
have the brown and yellow-skinned races
to deal with. The Malays are noto-
riously intractable, cruel and treacher-
Gus. and no dependence is to be put in
the yellow-skinned people. Even the
white people in the island are of a who'll
ly different character from the white
people of the United States who hold the
race question within bounds. The whites
of the Philippines are from the South
of Europe. Their habits and customs
are unlike ours. They have no love for
US, and would sooner foment discord
among the inferior races against us that
lend their aid to solving the racial prob
lem. The American race question is a
great one, but it is small when compared
with that in the Philippines.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR"

During the course of a recent lecture
in New York DIR. William T. Helmuth, a
leading physician of that city, spoke of
OF medicine and the passing of the family
doctor" Modern evolution in the curative
art, he said, had split the science of
medicine into a hundred specialties and
killed off an individual once known as
the family DOCTOR" which individual was
once called in to attend all the ailments
from which patient might suffer. He
was always ready, and doctored the eye,
the ear, the nose. the throat, as well as
set bones, and lanced felons. He
probed wounds. sewed cuts and
prescribed for fevers. He ate and
drank with the family. and the
family loved him. No such being exists
upon the earth to-day. except perhaps in
some untelephoned and photographed re-
gion, where, as yet, human evolution has
not laid its hand"
DR.. Helmuth makes the error of not
looking outside of New York. Like many
other persons who dwell in that city, he
regards New York as being the United
States, and thinks that whatever condi-
tons obtain there must of necessity OBJ
tain everywhere else in the country. In
New York the medical profession may be
divided up among specialists on each part
of the human anatomy. But in most other
parts Of the country the family doctor"
still has place in the economy of
things, and enjoys a large practice and
the love and respect OF his patients. And
he must remain with us for a
long time 10 come; not only in ''untele-
phoned ands untelegraphed' communities,
but in all except the largest and wealth
lest cities. All men and women cannot
live in New York. Chicago and Philadel-
phia, where if person We're to stub his
toe and fall and bruise his nose one spe-
cialist would be sent for to doctor the toe
and another to poultice the nose; nor are
all persons able to pay the charges
which the specialists make for their SER
vices The demand for the family doc
tor, therefore, continues; and the man is
here to meet and ill 1t. And he is well
equipped for his sphere in life. He is a
hard student, tireless worker, a sympa-
thetic adviser. and faithful friend. His
daily occupation Is calculated to inure
him to the pains of his fellow creatures,
nevertheless no remains tender-hearted
and charitable. No cry Of distress and
suffering falls unheeded upon his ears.
1t may be true that he does not "eat with
the family as of old. especially In the
cities; but in the smaller communities
and the country the family doctor retains
practically the position that he occupied
fifty years ago, carrying hope and COM
fort wherever he visits.

A GOOD WORD ron THE RICH.

The formation recently of the billion
dollar steel trust has attracted renewed
attention to the fabulous wealth possessed
by few of the leading men in American
industries and finance. 1t is stated that
Mr.. Carnegie will now have an income of
$15, 600 600 per annum, which is more than
$28 per minute. Mr.. John d. Rockefeller
has an income quite as large and possibly
larger. Are these colossal fortunes a
menace to the institutions of free gov
eminent? Assertions to that effect are
made in public prints and by political lead
ers. 1t lis also asked, have the holders of
these great fortunes benefited the coun-
try in proportion to their wealth?
There is two sides TO every question, OF
course. Without pretending to defend
trusts or monopo.ies, or to deny that they
may be employed to Cypress and crush,
the New York Financier says good word
for the very rich men They have not
grown wealthy alone. AS they have
amassed riches the country has grown
richer. AS they have become powerful
the country. has acquired power, until to-
day it stands in a commanding position
among the nations of the world. Before
Andrew Carnegie launched into his great
scheme of steel and iron consolidation, lit
tie charcoal furnaces made all of the iron
Of the country, and millions upon mil
lions of dollars were exported to England
to pay for rails at the rate of $3.50 per
ton. Now the United States are making
steel rails for themselves and for export
The price for these rails is $26 per ton,
or about one-seventh what we used TO pay
England. The reduction in cost has in
creased the demand, and materially aided
in giving the country the best railroads
in the world. Mr.. Rockefellers career in
the oil industry is something of parallel
to that of Mr.. Carnegie in steel and iron.
Surprising there had been law which
said 10 Mr.. Carnegie, Mr.. Rockefeller and
other men who are now lti-millonaires,
You may make half million dollars, or
million dollars. but no more" is II IN the
least likely that as a nation we should
now be occupying our proud position?

exporting millions of dollars worth of

ton, compelled to send gold to Europe
frequently to settle the trade balances
against US?
The foregoing is brief outline of the
Financer's plea for Justice TO the million
aire. 1t presents the question from a
point of view which, as a matter of fact,
is seldom employed when accumulated
wealth is under discussion. That the mill
