JUDGE HUMPHREYS TO RESIGN.
But Will Not Do SO Until Another
Judge Is Appointed.

In answer TO an inquiry as to the
report that he contemplated resigning
from the bench as circuit judge, Judge
Humphreys yesterday dictated a
statement for the Star, which he in
formed Republican reporter last
night exactly expressed his views.
there being nothing to add to it. In
this statement he said:
''As matter of fact have for some
weeks thought of resigning my posi-
ton. The salary is inadequate and
the great shrinkage in values during
the past year have lead me TO believe
that | am making greater financial
sacrifice in retaining the Office than
my condition warrants, | have not
said. however. that | would tender my
resignation at once, nor do | intend
doing so.
Il have not given any thought to
the question of nv successor. Any
good man upon whom the bar, or
majority of ii. may unite would be
satisfactory to me. NY individual
Carter and If ne can be prevailed upon
to accept the position. | Will. when |
resign. do all in nv power TO secure
his appointment. He made a splendid
record as an honest able, impartial
and Industrious Judge
II certainly cannot think of resigning
now and leave the community with its
large interests without any Judge. Ny
sense of duty forbids any considera-
ton of that sort"

A SECRETARY OF COMMERCE..

The creation of a new cabinet office
is being urged with considerable per.
sistency in the East. The secretary
ship for which there is alleged to be a
crying need is that of commerce ard
industry, and it is said that President
Roosevelt is heartily in sympathy with
the plan. The Manufacturers assoc
citation is back of the measure and will
exert its powerful influence to push
the necessary bill through congress.
The promised aid of the administra-
ton will Tighten it's labors.
The chief argument advanced in fay-
or OF the creation of the new depart
ment is that modern conditions inner
ativeiy demand it. It is pointed out
that the manufacturing and industrial
interests Of the country are no less i'm
portant than are the interests of agri.
culture, which is represented i'm the
presidents family advisers. The out
put OF manufactured goods reaches the
enormous total of a billion and half
dollars annually, while the transpor-
tation interests are rapidly increasing
in magnitude. At the present time a
number of commercial and industrial
bureaus are scattered throughout the
different departments. There is Meth
err harmony nor system in their control.
There is the bureau of foreign COM
merce in the state department: the
bureau Of statistics in the treasury de-
partment, and the so-called department
of labor, which leads an independent
existence.
There is no doubt thai should these
various bureaus be swept together into
one their usefulness would be greatly
increased. 1t would bring under the
control Of one chief all matters of the
same class. Tariff matters and recip-
rocity treatries would logically come
under the purview of this proposed de-
partment.
These arguments. however, are far
from proving the necessity of adding
another position to the cabinet, which
is already large enough to answer the
purpose for which it was created. Sim
liar arguments could be used in prov
ing the necessity of half dozen more
cabinet positions. But, with the pow
erful backing the proposed measure
has, it is safe to predict that a secre-
tary of commerce will be added to the
cabinet of President Roosevelt during
the coming winter session of congress.

THE NATIONS OF THE EurruRE.

Anaconda Standards: Of late GER
tain college professors have been spec
ulating as to the nations of the future.
professor Stein, of the University of
Berne, Switzerland, says that America.
England and Germany will be the
three great nations of the coming age
surviving long after their more or less
esteemed contemporaries of to-day have
disappeared. Germany. he thinks.
Will absorb France and the other Latin
nations. Professor Suess, an Aus
trian authority, also declares the great
nations OF the future will be three, but
they will be America, Russia and
China. A writer in the PHILADELPHIA
Times in careful analysis of these
two predictions comes to the conclusion
that Professor Suess is the nearer
right.
In any event it is reassuring to our
national pride to learn that it is agreed

DECIMAL SYSTEM.

Writer Gives Good Advice to Conn
mercial Enxland. :
The continental bagman, who is in
fair way to drive his British rival
from the markets, starts his business
career with second commercial edu-
cation. The decimal system of COIN
age and measures reduces arithmetic
to the simplest of exercises. At the
age OF 10 he has learned enough for all
practical purposes, and turns his at
tention to languages. When the day
comes for pushing his country's COM
merce abroad he is. thanks to carefully
compiled bluebOoks, walking ency-
clOpedia OF the requirements Of the
country which he is about to visit.
Not only can he converse with his GUS
toner in his own language, but he can
also show him samples of what he most
requires, marked according to the COIN
age and measures of his country. II
England would hold her own, not only
in Europe, but iE more distant mar
kets that her enterprise alone has
opened to the world, she must educate
her sons differently, says the London
Express. Let them waste no more time
on useless calculations concerning
acres and hogsheads, however excellent
the mental exercise. but turn their at
tentiOn to few and simple coins and
measures OF other lands, as we'll as
their languages and requirements.
Better still, let England take up the
decimal system and render such calcu-
lations unnecessary to any. In SO do
ing she would be but following in the
footsteps Of other countries, who are
certainly not losing ground where for
eign trade Is concerned. 1t is nearly a
century since. France adopted her pres
ent system in place of one as obsolete
and cumbersome as our own. Ameri-
ca, too, must have made the change at a
comparatively recent date. The pill
