opinion of Prof. Washington and his work,
and is going to Tuskegee at the first op-
portunity

Philippine Navigation Regulations.
President Roosevelt has signed an order
which revokes an old order of the Presi-
dent to the Philippine commission in
pine tariff act provided that the navigation
laws of the United States should not apply
until July l. 1904. The Philippine commits
sion was authorized to make any navigation
regulations relating to interisland traffic
and commerce, but 1t was found when the
matter was taken up that the commission
could not act. as 1t would be in contraven-
ton of the order issued some time ago and
the order just made was for the purpose of
revokng the old order and allowing the
commission to legtslate to meet the re-
uuirements Of the commerce of the islands
under the Philippine legislative act
Politics in the West.
DIR. J. E. Jones, one of the lieutenants of
Senator Kearns of Utah has returned to
Washington from long trip to China and
Japan and through the western states. "a
hot campaign is being waged in Utah" said
Dr. Jones. The democratic campaign is in
charge OF Senator RaWIlnS and ex-senator
Cannon, chairman of the democratic state
committee. Both sides are drawing upon
national speakers. The democrats are at
tempting to elect legislature that Will re-
turn Senator Rawiins to the Senate. The
democratic speakers are following the re-
publican speakers at every place. For rep
resentative in the lower House of Congress
the candidates are Judge J. H. Howells, re-
publican, and deXRepresentative King, dem
ocrat. There Is little or no doubt that the
republicans will carry the legislature and
elect Judge Howeils to the House.
In California the hottest campaign in
history Is in progress. While the outlook
is for republican success there is prospect
that Representative Loud will be defeated
He is opposed by letter carriers and labor
interests. In Nevada Representative New
lands is making a most active fight to come
is going to retire. The new mining camp at
Tonopah. Nevada, bids fair to rival the
great Comstock camp.
The west is on fire for Roosevelt and this
sentiment has crossed the ocean to China
and Japan Big business interests in these
countries believe the President will succeed
himself. Commerce and agriculture have
never enjoyed greater prosperity in the
west. The farmers look with despair upon
any assault on the tariff. They believe in
reciprocity, but they do not think the re-
publican party needs to be in a hurry to
tinker with the tariff
