in America, which is vitally interested
in the case, is represented by Arch
bishop Riordan of San Francisco. and

Aside from any Importance attached
to the Pious Fund Claims case in it
self the proceedings Of the tribunal
will be watched with closest attention
all over the civilized world for the
reason that the case is the first to be
tried under the provisions of the in
ternational arbitration agreement
formulated by The Hague peace con
ference.
The history of the Pious Fund goes
back to 1897. when it was started in
order to enable the Jesuit missionaries
New Mexico and California When
the Jesuits were expelled from the
Spanish dominions in 1857, the fund
was seized by the crown and put in
the hands of the Franciscans. Later
when Mexico won her independence,
the trust of the Picus Fund was
transferred from Spain to the republic.
In 1912 Mexico sold the properties
constituting the fund and put the
proceeds in the treasury, stipulating,
however, to pay to the church author
tiles 6 per cent in perpetuity on the
capital. When, by the treaty of
Queretaro, Upper California was
ceded to the United States, Mexico
ceased to pay it's share of the interest
on the fund and in 1868 the church
authorities made claim on Mexico
for the interest for twenty one years.
The case decided against Mexico and
the republic paid over TO the church
the sum of 1904. 700. No further pay
ments were made, however, and now

A street railway magnate wants dam
ages from two newspaper men who wrote
and printed things which he alleges made
a sorry looking object Of his reputation.

The complaining street railway man AL
leges, aff1rms, even swears. that the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader did him ire
parable damage by calling him a "con-
fdence man." and certain other endear-
ing names. His deep wounding is in part
explained by the fact that-perhaps by
reason Of the newspaper articles-he
didn't get franchise much desired.
AS salve for his lacerated reputation
and a balm for his fractured feelings
he hailed the newspaper men into the
presence of the awful court. and of
them demanded instant payment of 1arpa
sums. The veraeious chronicIer of the
affair does not go to the extent of saying
the newspaper men paid spot cash, or
any other kind of cash-not even stage
money.
Without any further information as to
the details of the case The GIob 9 is
willing to go on record as predicting that
the magnate with the mortified reputa-
ton will not get the relief sought, nor
vengeance, nor anything else except a

NO HOPE FOR THEM.

From far away Oregon comes the
ominous sounding of the bell tolling the
death kneIl of hope Of independence and
liberty for the Filipinos In convention
assembled the Republicans Of that state
loudly declared in favor Of everlastinglv
keeping the Philippines as a dependency
Of the United States. There was. of
course, the usual cant about allowing
them the fullest local self government
they are capable of sustaining-the people
of the United States to be the judges Of
the degree of government the Fill
pinos can support. 1t may be noted. in
passing, that George III and his politi
clans talked a good deal along the same
lines in 1776 and the years Immediately
preceding.
That the action of the Oregon Repub-
licans will be followed by those of other
states when conventions meet goes with
out saying. That party has adopted the
motto, ITO Have is to Hold" apparently.
all considerations of history and ex-
perience to the contrary notwithstanding.
The sort Of Republican paramount In
party councils today pays no heed to the
words Of wisdom falling from the lips Of
such great party leaders and statesmen as
Senator George F. Hoar, Senator Eugene
Hale, ex-senator George f. Edmunds. ex-
Secretary Benjamin H Bristow, ex-Speak-

the people confidence in the patriotism
and honesty Of the party. On the con-

If the answer is in the affirmative no
time is lost in acting accordingly.
The illustrious Republicans mentioned
above, and thousands of others of the
party, believe that if me promise of ulti-
mate liberty and independence had been
held out to the Filipinos as it was to the
Cubans there would have been not one
drop of American blood spilled in warfare
in the islands. But the mercenary spirit
Of the Republican leaders overmastered
all other motives, and the hard fact was
made plain that the Filipinos, having
been delivered from the Spaniards. were
but vassals Of another people. They re-

Expenditure Involved VIII Be About
$4,000, and Material VIII
Be Asphalt and Sand
stone.

Under pressure from the East End Bust
ness Mems association and property own
ers IN general, Asseublyman Nelson last
night forced from the assembly approval
OF the contracts for the paving of Payne
avenue its entire length.
The property owners say they arc tired
waiting for the street TO be paved, ana
besides they are losing money in its pres
ent condition" said Mr.. Nelson.
Assemblyman Wheeler tiled to impress
upon Mr.. Nelson that the price was 81. 50
a square yard, but he was told that the
property owners were NOT kicking on the
price. They wanted the street paved.
The contract for paving Payne avenue
is one Of the largest placed this year, ana
involves an expenditure Of nearly 90tO.
The street railway company will have 70
stand about $4,000 Of the expense.
The contract is divided between James
FOrrestal and the Barber Asphalt com
pany, but the major portion goes to the
latter firm. It's bid was S37,139 for the
asphalt paving, and James Forrestal ST.
coo for the sandstone paving.
The business men along Payne avenue
have been clamoring for the paving Of the
street for years, and feared that if any
more delay was suffered the work would
never be done.

IN EVIL INFLUENCE.

II the board of control Is composed of
men who are anxious to secure
an improved administration Of the
certainly a very unfortunate body,
or one very much given to hopeless
laundering. From the beginning Of its
existence to within the past twenty four
hours it has given the most convincing
evidence at frequent intervals Of its utter
unlitness for the work with which it is
charged. 1t has pleased no one, either
in private or public life, and has given
offense to almost every person or firm
in commercial life with which it has had
dealings, save, of course, those to whom
it has extended it's official favors.
1t cannot well be otherwise. It's pow
turn the head of any ordinary man
charged even in part with their exercise
In addition, those powers, while practi-
cally unlimited, are so indefinite as neces-
sarily to arouse the hostility Of every Of
fetal who is brought within the range Of
the authority exercised by the board.
More than all this; the appointments have
been made by Gov. Van SAINT more with
view to the promotion Of his own polit-
zeal interests than of the interests Of the
state and its people. And the exercise
of their powers by it's members has at
every point shown that they bear steadily
in mind the obligations they are under to
the author of their official existence.
Since the advent Of the present gov
ernor it is notorious that every power and
prerogative of his office has been utilized
for his own political advancement. He
has gone daft on the subject OIL renomi-
nation; and he has steadily shown that
ton to force the hand Of his party as
scciates in giving him d denomination to
the Office he holds. 1t is not surprising
that the new executive body, whose men,
bers received their appointments purely
because Of the political influence they
are severally supposed to exercise, should
under all the circumstances find itself at
war with every interest not mixeu up in
politics with which it has been in touch
from the beginning.
The situation of affairs at this moment
evitable result Of the methods of the
board Of control, and of the absolute
hold which politics and politicians have
of every branch and every department of
the service Of the state under the present
executive. There a man was summarily
dismissed from his employment under such
conditions as left his reputation a thing
of shreds. If he were an ordinary politi-
cal retainer, he would probably content
himself with accepting silently the in
dignity done him, swallow the insult put
on him and look for a job in some other
department through the influence which
is always available to the state Office
holder under the present system. He has
not done so. He has demanded that com
mon justice be done him; and now a great
display is being made Of having the
wrong done him righted.
Until the system of political charlatan-
ism which underlies the present system of
state administration is ooted out we will
have continued the same kind of scandals
which have attended every month of Van
SAINTS control of the executive depart
ment.

THE TRUTH or TT.

The conviction has settled itself per-
majority on the American mind that
some form Of public regulation of inter-
state railroad carrying must be provided
by congress beyond that which is now in
operation. That conviction evidently finds
expression through the reported purpose
Of the national house Of representatives
to act speedily on the-measure introduced
Representative Corliss in the house, bet
ter defining the powers CT the interstate
commerce commission.
At the present moment there is no man
IN public life who is more identified with
the movement to establish an effective
system of public control Of interstate
the interstate commerce commission, Mr..
Charles A. Prcuty. He it is, above all
men, who is fighting the fight for more
effective national control Of the inter-
state roads. Indeed his position is
accepted generally by railroad officials
as one of hostility to the interests of the
roads.
This gentleman has just delivered an
address in the city of Chicago before the
Illinois Manufacturers association. 1t is
an ilIuminative address on the subject Of
which it treats, viz: "The Cause Of the
Steady Advance in Freight Rates" It
deals amply with the situation, and its
author takes the general position that
for want of proper railroad control freight
rates are advancing unduly.
The address of Chairman Prouty has
also something to say about competition
as a means of securing lower freight
rates, and Of the position taken by the
governor and attorney general of Mime
sofa in their anti-Northern Securities
crusade. The reader who really desires
enlightenment on the subject will do well
to read it carefully. Chairman Prouty
says:
eff competition has been the regulator
of railway rates in the past and that
competition is fast becoming a vanishing
ural answer is: Compel competition by
law, prohibit combinations by statute.
That is the remedy of Gov. Van SAINT.
That is the remedy of the attorney gen
eral. 1t never can be made an effective
one. The Northern Securities company
may be dissolved; if 1t be an illegal in
stitution it certainly ought to be. But
what has been gained by it's dissolution?
A little over-capitalization has perhaps
been blotted out; nothing else has really
been accomplished.
THE Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railroads are still owned by the
same men. They are friends in fact and
no amount of legislation can ever compel
them to fight like enemies. What is true
there is true in every other case. You can
not secure satisfactory railway competi
ton by law You may compel it in spots
and by spasms but actual, effective COM
petition, competition which competes will
soon be thing of the past in the railway
world. The quicker we appreciate this
fact the better shall we deal with the
problem"
When the general public have come to
fully comprehend the truth which Chair
man Prouty sets forth in the two para
graphs here quoted they will cease being
deceived to their own loss either by pol
iticians or interested spectators.
