DIR. CRowELL's THEME.
The United States in the World Market
Discussed

Dr. John Franklin Crowell of the treasury
bureau of statistics gave the last OF a series
of lectures on the position Of the United
States In the world market, at Column
btan University Wednesday afternoon on
the topic 1.-THE Exploitation of the Tropics"
The modern history Of temperate zone peo-
pies, he stated. cannot be understood with
out taking into account the white mans
relation to the tropics. On no part of the
world have so many dreams of empire been
erected. so many visions of wealth been born
for early extinction. nor 80 many noble
sacrifices, official misdeeds and mistakes of
policy been brought to light. And the rea-
son for 1t all Is sought in the policy Of con-
quest for the purpose OF commercial exploit
tation OF the conquered peoples.
With rare exception. DR.. Crowell stated,
this shortsighted policy of working tropical
peoples as one would work a mine has pre-
vailed until more recently, when the policy
of developing the producing power, and thus
the purchasing capacity OF the native peo-
pies and their lands by superior methods
has come to the front This policy con-
cetyes of the people, not the territory. as
the best OF all Assets. and puts the premium
on their economic Improvement. This Is
why the United States In its policy In the
Philippines has seemed to set at naught
the tropical experience OF England. France
and Holland.

GATTTFERSBURG. Md. March Is, 1868.
The special meeting of the town council

regular session week ago the applications
for building permit filed by the Gathers
burg Milling and Manufacturing Company

to the vigorous opposition of the residents
Of that locality. and the fact that decision
was promised tonight accustomed the I'M
usual interest. The full council was pres
ent, and the permit was refused, the vote
standing four to one. Councilman Thomas
/. Fulks voted in the affirmative. The men,
bers Of the town council, 1t is stated, while
refusing the permit, made 1t plain that this
action is in no sense to be taken to imply
that they were opposed to the new enter

WHO is the great man? He Is the con-
queror of truth. About him will gather the

There Is another power in this world and
that is beauty. We Americans lack a
sense of beauty. We lack taste. Beauty Is
joy, happiness: May forever, autumn In its
colors. spring in its blossom, children's faces
looking up to God. We, in order to find
beauty, adorn ourselves with fantastic
colors, and God knows with what not. Viz
tue and love spring from beauty. What do
we love? That which is most fit to love.
The pig loves full trough We have the
instructive love of mother, father and child.
In men-it Is really hard to tell what men
do love.
THE trouble with men of today is that
we are not striving enough. In our uni
versities we boast of large numbers. and do
not count the work. But we fail to see
that one really great man outweighs mil

Bishop Spalding took occasion to pay a
high tribute to Bishop Conaty, who is soon
to retire from the rectorship of the univer-
sity. Speaking Of Bishop O'Connell, Bishop
Conaty's successor. he said:
Bishop O'Connell is the most brilliant
conversationalist I have ever met. He Is
intensely American and embraces the cul-
ture and wisdom of the old world with his
love for the new. He will bring new life to
the university"
An informal reception followed the lee
ture.
