ton. Men familiar with the history of
expositions will believe that the st.
Louis exposition has better chance for
success than the one which closes Sat-

exhibits are drawn from one section or
hemisphere will close with a balance on
the wrong side of the ledger. ~.

AN INSUlAR SECRETARY.

Those best Informed upon the mat
tiers arising out of the administration
of the new possessions secured by the
war with Spain believe that President
Roosevelt will recommend that all con-
Germs of this recently acquired terri
tory be placed in the hands Of an official
who will devote to the insular affairs
his entire attention. At present the d.
rection of affairs in the islands is given
into the keeping Of several departments
of government. The Philippines have a
governor whose position places him un-
der the direction of the president; the
military branch of the government in
the islands reports to the secretary of
war while Governor Taft is in no respect
under the authority of any member Of
the cabinet. In Porto Rico the depart
ment of state directs affairs and in
Guam and Tutuila the navy department
is in charge.
1t is plain from a glance at the con-
dition of things in the administration Of
the insular possessions that more effect
i've work can be done by collecting the
affairs of the islands under one
authority and operating the machinery
of government through the department
of state. 1t is not at all likely that the
present method of administering the
affairs Of the islands will be long con-
tinued and the plain, business like
habits Of the new president would lead
to the belief that he will not delay in
making the required change. The
prophets who have given a forecast Of
the subject matter OF the forthcoming
message appear to have good grounds
for the prediction that change in the
methods by which insular affairs are
conducted will be part of the sugges-
tions made to the next congress.

IN TINE FREAK CLASS.

A recent escapade of q bank emplOye
in the city OF New York has brought to
light developments that are looked upon
as interesting, not to say sensational.
The employee skipped with the daily COL
lections. amounting to about $4,000. and
after expressing the non-negotiable share
of his plumber to his employers, spent
the rest in a wild carOuse. When the
case was brought to the attention of the
police, it was stated that the young man
had been employed in the bank Ave
years and had no bad habits, This con-
duet being exemplary from necessity, as
his salary was only s. per week. Here
is problem, then, for those who give
thought to sociology to speculate upon.
Did the bank employe imbibe dishonesty
from an Office policy which held down
his salary to the merest pittance. or
would he have exhibited his innate
crookedness sooner had his weekly sti-
pend been more liberal? In other words,
Is honesty a matter of income, and may
a character be kept spotless on s. per
week? These are some Of the questions
which are being pondered by writer's
who have directed their pens to the
task of telling why the young man
in the bank went wrong, and how
greatly his course down the toboggan
Of crime was accelerated by the size
Of his salary. To an observer whose
vision is not befogged by hair-splitting
theorizing concerning the cause and
effect of the young mans downfall
it would appear that there must have
been something wrong with him at the
beginning. or he would never have stuck
in the $S-a-week class for Ave years.
His long service In the position he held
puts him outside the ranks Of the en-
ployed, whose condition calls for serious
discussion. The young man who works
for, So per week longer than is required
to pick up knowledge of q business
which will enable him to. strike a Job
that carries with 1t a better salary, has
a defect in his makeup that is likely
to be shown sooner or later in just such
a way as the young bank clerk exhibited
his weakness. Such. young men as the
one under discussion are so rare that he
is entitled to be classed with the freaks.

The United Kingdom Is alive to nm
importance OF taking advantage OF. thu

Samar, the island over which the SOL
diers of the Ninth regiment of United
States troops are chasing Filipinos,
sent out last year 21,000000 pounds of
hemp, and made large shipments of rice,
sugar, tobacco, coffee and chocolate.
Nearly all Of this was carried in ships
flying the British flag. The importance
of encouraging the building of an Ameri-
can merchant marine was belittled by
members Of the last congress who
allowed prejudice of a partisan charac-
ter to override their judgment. The
necessity for such action is now so ap-
parent that the situation no longer
admits of delay.
The advancement of Great Britain's
ship building interest is accounted for by
the fact that government aid is freely
given to this industry. In construction
and navigation bounties the United
Kingdom pays out annually about six:
million dollars. It must be obvious that
unaided American shipping cannot suc-
cessfully enter into competition with this
formidable rival. r..

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

Persons have been known to
gain pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS emulsion,
1t is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro,
duces the pound it seems to
start the digestive machinery
going properly, so that the
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinary food, which
he could not do before, and
that is the way the gain is made
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you
have not got it you can get it
by taking SCOTS Emulsion.
You will find it just as use,
full in summer as in winter, and
if you are thriving upon it don't
stop because the weather is

people that it may be well to extend
the same process to the more import

this direction. but it is only Of recent
