HE HAS SQUARED THE CIRCLE.
William Bersh. of Newport News, Tells of His Men
tai Travail Before He hieved Success

will figure the result correctly by heart
in less than minute. But we have to
recognize the great law of the universe.
and it is and Will be the wonder how
carefully and exactly the mathematical
system Is adapted TO the measurement Of
the eternal and eternity.
What do We call tinle?
HERE'S SOME REASONING.
Behind us is the history; it is the past.
The past history of humanity Is ignored.
The past is represented by perfect
square. On the utmost corner of the
square runs an innnitcsimal point. a frac-
ton Of the smallest part of fraction,
and that little point reaches over into the
circle. The circle is the future. That lit
tie vanishing point is the exact dividing
space between the past and the future.
That Insignificant little dividing spot-we
call it the inside of time-iS the present
We want to divide and square it. IT IS
growing out Of sight until it is impossi-
bic to see ii any more. but there it is, all
the same. We figure on the circle, the
idea of the universc-not behind US. as
with the square-there it is in front. and
that unnoticcd thing behind US, the far
thcr we go the more it grows. 1t grows
into immense proportions; it runs from
miileniums to milleniuns. and in the dis
pearirg distance we don't notice any more
the realm of creation, but the one great
universe is wide open.
CIRCLES GALORE.
All, and the beginning! The logical rea-
soning begins with atoms, definition
which humanity never understood nor
fully recognized Our mathematics begin
properly with the never-van: shirg point,
which is there. but which we Gid not rec
oSnize. 1t grows into circle, and little
circle upon little circle follows until the
little circles behind US are squared and
greater circle opens We find out that the
greater circle was only a part of much
gran6er constellation of circles. and
everything nearby looks insignificant and
becomes the vanishing point: and even
the mute figures do honor to the vanish
ing point and arrange themselves on the
outside ir parad;ng distance.
From what I perceive in the revelation
of the so-called secret, which has been
within my knowledge only few days,
my own knowledge must be imperfect.
How beautifully will it be enlarged when
it is properly recognized by science the
wisdom of the world.
This is a preliminary presentation In
a very short time, if possible within the
few remaining days or The year 1902, the

SOURCE OF OLD DISPUTE
origin of OmciaI Contention I'm Philip
pines IL Explained By
Taft.


WASHINGTON, Feb. BIN his statement
before the senate committee ON the Philip
pines today Governor Taft dealt especially
With the question of the relationship Of the
civil and military authorities in the Philip
pines and his explanation was received with
much interest by the members Of the COM
mittee. The days session began with the
understanding that there should be no in
terfuption by members of the committee
until the presentation Of this entire branch
Of the subject was completed.
Governor Taft said that originally the
civil and military control Of the islands had
been in the hands Of the military and that
naturally there had been some difference of
opinion between the military authorities
and the commission as to the method Of pro-
ceeding. This difference had arisen with
General Macarthur and there had been more
or less correspondence % the subject,
The general had commended that authority
over the islands was vested In the military
and the representatives of the chief execu-
tive, because the islands were in a state Of
war. In this view the commission did not
concur. This difference did not extend to
the control OF the municipalities.
In this connection Governor Taft ez-
planned at some length the contention be-
tween the commission and General Chaffee
which had, he said, arisen oyef the habeas
corpus provision In the commissions code.
That provision had been inserted, he said,
to protect native officers who surrendered
and who are subject to arrest on charge OF
service, believed TO be contrary to the rules
OF civilized warfare. Such charges against
these men were common, and often they
were ~unfounded.
The provision had been invoked in the
interest Of an enlisted man serving in
Cebu, who was seeking to secure his release
from the military service in an indirect
way. Thus, q conflict had arisen and the
question had been referred to Washington,
with the result that instructions had come
back that the differences might be COM
promised. General Chaffee and ! are on
the friendliest and most cordial terms" he
said, "and we had no dihiculty in Seaching
an understanding at a prolonged confer
ence."' ~
us IL not true" interrupted Senator Diet
rich, who has visited the Philippines,
while the women are engaged in conduct
Ing the Affairs Of the family the men are
generally engaged in attending cock
hghts?"
Governor Taft said that he had never
met a Filipino who was not a musician
and courteous. The Filipino also shows
capacity Tor skilled labor, but he is neeli-
gent Of machinery. l wish 1t were true
that the Filipino is as industrious as Is
claimed, but he is not. Indeed, there are
many OF them who might secure work who
do not seek It. This condition leads to q
demand for the bringing in of Chinese"
This statement led Senator Hale to make
inquiry concerning the presence Of Chi
nese. The witness replied that the con-
tractors and business men contend for the
necessity Of bringing in Chinese labor.

DISEASE I'M FOREIGN CATTLE
T-uberculOsis, Secretary Wilson Says,
H. spread by Imported
stock,

KANSAS CITY, Feb. Sin a paper read
before the Central shorthorn Breeders as
ISOLATION at its annual meeting here today
Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, states that II has been found that
tuberculosis is being spread by imported
animals purchased to improve the common
cattle. Of this country, and suggests the
propfiety Of shutting dow on the importa-
ton OF cattle and sheep, following the ex-
ample OF Great Britain. Chambers, too, he
said. was an imported disease and he sug-
gested that 1t might also be we'll to exclude
foreign horses from the American mar
kets. Secretary Wilson spoke against the
sentiment that we must have fresh blood
from Europe to maintain the standard OF
American herds, and he gave It as his be-
lief that the sentiment had no other foun-
dalton than tradition and personal In
terest. 10
1.-THE idea," he continued, THAT foreign
cattle as a class are the better In the show
ring or have greater potency than our cattle
is a tfallscy that the American breeder
should set about dispelling now and for all
time"
He stated that statistics indicated that IT
is p~re-eminently the development Of the
home market that has benefited the cattle
industry. He explained attsome length how
American cattle are now being excluded
from Argentine because English cattle have
foot and mouth disease, and yet the United
States permits the importation of British
cattle. We are large buyers Of Argentine
And he thought we ought to insist upon our
cattle being admitted there.
Mr.. Wilson was unable to be present
and his paper was read by George M.
Rommel, an expert from the Department Of
Agriculture.
The association voted to held its next
convention outside of Kansas City owing to
b desire to stimulate activity in the as
sociation elsewhere. az ~

GORDON SCHEME DEFEATED
Judes Ksys'r su'tAiut Demurrer to YOdsr's
49,. o.. Petition.
Mayors sAltsY Is NOT Involved
De1taI Of, Application for Injunction
de PreSens city Council from
Approximations Money to
Pay Mr., Moores.

In an opinion filed late Wednesday Judge
Keysor gives Samuel l. Gordon another re-
versal in the ~latter's apparent endeavor TO
harass the city into paying him money for
the time he pretended to serve as police
Justice OF Omaha. The opinion Of Judge
Keysor s~ustains the demurrer to the petit
tion Of William G. Yoder for an injunction
preventing Isaac S. Hascall and others Of
the city council from appropriating, by or
dinance OF otherwise. any moneys for the
payment of the salary of Frank T.. Moores
as mayor for the month of January, 1902.
The action is dismissed at plaintiffs cost.
In the opinion Judge Keysor says.
1T is conceded that the mayor took the
oath prescribed by the legislature as found
in section ! Of chapter K of the Complied
Statutes, and that he. did not take the oath
provided for by section /, article xiv, Of the
constitution of this state; and 1t is also
conceded by counsel on both sides in. this
case that IL the mayor be not a censtitu-
tional tfacer that. the injunction prayed for
must be denied.
The constitution, of Nebraska, so far as
the court has been able to discover, mo-
where names mayors of Incorporated cities
among the officers for which 1t provides;
unless the mayor be a police magistrate.
Whatever may have been the function OF
mayors OF cities In olden times, the Offices
of mayor n police judge are now too
clearly separated to warrant the court in
finding that the trainers Of our constitution
intended to embrace mayors in the term
police magistrate. The court is therefore Of
the opinion that the constitution does not
embrace mayors Within 1.-The term police
magistrate which 1t employs, and hat the
constitution does not In express terms in
clude mayors. Of cities in the list of Offices
which 1t names.
Section u of article v Of the constitu-
tion. provides that the governor shall have
power to remove any officer. whom he may
appoint in case Of jncompetency and neg
lect Of duty or malfeasance in office. Here
again we find the language Of the constitu-
tion very broad and general; but the SUI
preme court in the case of State against
Smith, 35 Nebraska, Ia, decided that this
section applied fonly to officers named in
the constitution. The court is therefore of
the opinion that the words. executive and
judicial ~of1csfs, as used, in section l Of
article xiv of our constitution means only
such executive and judicial officers as the
constitution itself names or provides for,
and that the plaintiff is in error In his ar
gument that the legislature is limited IN
providing for the terms and conditions OF
executives Offices which it itself creates"
