legal Roman practices. The frlends

A writer in Automobile Topics says
that the automobile to-day is JUST
about where railroading was at the
beginning of the last century or where
bicycling was twenty years ago. Give
the American mechanic five years
more and he will produce 4 machine
that will be the surprise and envy OF
the world. There are more bright
minds in America concentrating their
thoughts and best efforts on the prob
lem than on any other in TIE line OF
mechanics. Can we doubt the result:
To do so would be to disregard all
mechanical history Of the past.

The excess Of fiction circulated in
the public libraries suggests the Ques-
ton whether these institutions &"e
rightly fulfilling their purpose, which
is something more than recreation,
and which includes education IS well,
observes the Providence Journal. IN
many instances more than Sky pc:
cent. OF the circulation is fiction. The
abnormal circulation of fiction in many
libraries demands far more serious
consideration than it is receiving.
Large sums OF public money, and,
what is vastly worse, IN immense
amount Of time and effort, are eZ-
pended on books that produce useless,
If not pernicious, results. Undoubt-
edly too much that is trashy and
ephemeral is offered to the public.

A PROCLAMATION
Issued By Aguinaldo, Ex-Insurgent
Leader.

Manila, By Cable..-The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people, made public Friday evening:
81 believe l am not in error in pre-
suming that the unhappy fate to
which my adverse fortune has led me
is not a surprise to those who have
been familiar with the progress of the
war. The lessons taught with a full
meaning and which have recently
come to my knowledge suggest with
irresistible force, that a complete ter
minatlon OF hostiHties and lasting
peace are not only desirable, but ab-
.solusely essential to the welfare of the
Philippine Islands. The Filipinos have
never been dismayed at their weak
ness, nor have they faltered in follow
ing the path pointed out by their for
titude and courage. The time has
come, however, in which they find
their advance along this path to be
tmDedcd by an irresistible force which,
while it rest-ains them, yet enHghtens
their minds and opens to them anoth-
er course, presenting TO them the
cause OF peace. The cause has been
joyfully embraced by the majority or
my fellow -countrymen, who have al
ready united around the glorious,
sovereign banner OF the United Stetes.
In this banner they repose their trust
and belief that under its protection
the Filipino people will attain all
those promised liberties which the!
are beginning to enjoy. The country
has declared Enthusiastically in favor OF
peace. So be it. There has been enough
blood, enough tears and enough desc
lation. This wish cannot be ignored
by The men still in arms, II they are
animated by a desire to serve our
noble people which has thus clearly
manifested its will. So do respec.
this will, now that 1t IS known to me.
After mature deliberation, 1 reso-
lutely proclaim 10 the world that l
cannot refuse to heed the voice OF
people longing for peace, nor the lam
entations Of thousands OF families
yearnirg to see their dear ones enjoy
ing the liberty and the promised gen
eros;ty Of the great American nation.
BY acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States
throughout the Philippine archipelago
as I now do, and without any reserva-
ton whatever, I believe that am
serving thee, my beloved country
May happiness be thine"
To signalize this important step IN
the pacification Of the country General
Macarthur orders the release, on
swearing allegiance to the United
States, OF 1000 insurgent prisoners.

LULL IN Iron TRADE.
Business Is Not So Brisk as It Was
in March

Cleveland. o.. May 9-The Iron
Trade Review for this week says:
Quietness with sustained strength
characterizes the iron market There
is activity that not long back would
have been considered noteworthy, but
in comparison with the record of
March, which in pig iron was unprece-
dented. the current buying is light
Mills are running to their utmost ca
pacity on nearly all description Of pro-
duets, though i'll plates there is not the
accumulation of orders that was noticed
in the winter and early spring. Rail
business has not been cut off by the
advance, but it is now evident that fur
Their new business for delivery this year
must be taken care Of in mills east Of
Pittsburg.
The course of pig iron production is
being watched with interest by the
trade. Buyers seem to be proceeding on
the assumption that consumption will
be overtaken shortly and that the ac-
tive blast furnace capacity will be suf-
ficient to preserve stable prices through
the year-at least to guarantee against
any material advance Two OF the
large new central western furnaces
have just gone into blast; another is to
follow shortly, and others will come
later in the year. 1t is already evident
that the United States Steel corpora
ton will not be in the market for as
much pig iron in the second half of the
year as it bought for delivery before
July L Foundry buying keeps up,
though at slackened pace. and the
melt of iron in foundry cupOlas is prob
ably in excess of any record yet made.
Sheet and tin plate works are being
driven to their fun capacity. 1t is the
expectation that a basis viii be agreed
upon with the Amalgamated associa-
ton that will obviate the necessity of
a shutdown on July !, pending the ad
justment of the scale, putting that or
ganization in line with the Cancellation
movement which looks to a. continuance
Of operations pending all adjustments
of labor questions The possibility of
n achinists' strikes at various points
on May 20 is one element of uncer-
tainty in the situation. The nine-hour
day and increased wage will be grant
ed in some cases, it appears, but the
majority of employers are expected to
refuse the double concession.
