CONSULS MUST
BE EXPERIENCED
The President Determines to Apply
a Promotion Rule to the Di-
plomatic Service.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 5.-An important
change Of policy with respect to the MAX
ing of appointments in the consular
service has been decided on by President
Roosevelt. He discussed the change yes
terday with Assistant Secretary Of State
Francis B. Loonlis. :.
For many years it has been almost the
uniform practice Of presidents to appoint
men to positions in the consular service
substantially without reference to what
ever previous experience they may have
had. Quite naturally the president en-
deavored always to select for appointment
men Of integrity and ability, but expert
ence was not a determining factor in the
equa ton. @<aszg 49,
with Secretary Hay, Assistant Secretary
LOOMS and members of his cabinet not
Immediately identified with the state de-
partment.. has decided to appoint here
after to important places in the consular
service men who already are in the serv-
ice and have had that experience and
training in minor positions which will rem
der them the more capable of filling places
Of higher grade and greater Importance.
The change in the policy does not ex-
tend the. civil; service to the consular
service and it, does not extend, neces-
sarily, a consuls tenure of office at any
particular place; but, 1t Is pointed out, 1t
does give reasonable assurance to the
manufacturing and commercial interests of
the United States, which particularly are
interested in the extension Of the coun-
try's foreign trade, that in comparative
ly brief time all importan tconsular situa-
tons will, be filled not only by men OF
character and ability but by men who by
| training andt3 experience are especially
qualified to advance the trade interests on
the United States.

GOVERNMENTS THREAT

bans and Treaty Failed.

Washington. Sept. 5.-Officials at the
state department and Minister Herran of
Colombia have given up all hope that
the canal treaty will be ratified. The two
sides have been getting farther and far
Their apart since the last Of July when
the state department sent a cable of in
structions to Minister Beaupre, the last
words of which contained an implied
threat, which set the Colombians almost
frantic with anger. The message said if
Colombia refused to ratisfy the treaty
unamended 1.-THE United States would be
forced to take action which would be a
source of regret to all true friends of
Colombia"
Minister Beaupre presented this mes
sage and the wrath of the Colombian Off
Gals was centered upon him. The state
department was content to allow him to
become the target of the shafts of the
irate Colombians until the authorship of
the message was traced direct to the de-
partment. Now the officials there are
standing by Mr.. Beaupre and asserting
that he is performing his duties satisfac-
torily.

HOLD BOYS AS SLAVES
Investigation Reveals System Of
Child Peonage Among Mich
i igan Greeks.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Sept. 5.-Anthony
Demers proprietor of a shoe-shining
stand, confessed that he paid SIS for
Nicholas Demoggeor. Greek boy, 13 years
old. who ran away from him Thursday.
Demers was "sweated' by the sheriff, and
his revelation of a system of child peon-
age followed.
Every year boys are stolen in the
streets Of Greek cities and sold into
slavery in this country. The purchasers
pay from $50 to s75 for 5-year- boy
for the first year The second year the
price is advanced s25. Each succeeding
year a small advance is made in the fig
ure paid until the boy Is Of age. Then the
purchaser must take his chances with his
purchase. ..r.-
Anthony Demers and a brother, Alex
are at the head of shoe shining organi-
cation which operates shoe-polishing par
lors in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Jackson
South Bend, st. Joseph, Benton Harbor

of polishing shoes is all done by Greek
boys, whose ages range from to 18 years
The boys are shown how to polish shoes
and allowed to pick up what English the!
can. There their education ends. Demog
geor ran away on account Of abuse.

THEOLOGY And

Bishop Joyce Tells Young Ministers
the Former Is Futile Without

South Bend, Ind, Sept. SIN address,
ing a northwest Indiana Methodist con-
ference class yesterday afternoon on their
being given deacons' orders,sBishop Joyce

clared that If: he were rich enough or had
enough rich friends he would establish
new theological chair-the chair of COM
mon sense His remarks startled the as
sembled ministers. ..s$@;:a IS. z:9
Bishop Joyce said: &.
ut is real fact that God calls poor
boys to the ministry and they >are forced
to go thru many sacrifices in order to
reach the place where they are fully
equipped for the work Of the. ministry.
The pioneers had no theological training,
or, at. least, the training OF theological
genuine and right from the start. I do
not wish to be put down as against the
theological school, but I do wish those
schools would introduce a new chair and
call 1t the chair Of common sense. It Is
needed in the training OF young men for
the ministry. Some Of them actually lose
their best traits by too much book learn
ing. The preacher should be skillful in
himself and the school should help his
skill to reach the hearts Of men. It
should be the first thought of a preacher
to appreciate first that those who come
to hear him are always full Of heartache
and they are looking for consolation ex-
tended to them in such manner as will
be effective and will act as balm for
the affliction that is troubling the SOUL

Mennonites Of Manitoba Are Prepar-
ing to Start It Near Herbert,
Assiniboia.
Land to Be Bought Outright for
1000 Families and a Town
Built Up.
spaoial 20 The. Journal.

Special to The journal.
Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 5.-According to
advices from leading Mennonites in the
Winkler colony, in southern Manitoba, a
movement is on foot among them to es-
tablish a large colony In Assiniboia. The
new settlement is in the neighborhood OF
Herbert on the Canadian Pacific railway
between Regina and Swift Current.
The Mennonites expect to commence the
colonization Of the district Immediately
and great results are expected.
For some time there has been a move
ment among the leading Manitoban Men
nonitesr to establish a new colony in the
northwest to meet the demands Of the
rapidly increasing colony at Winkler,
Man., and also to encourage further immi-
grafton of Mennonites into Canada. In
order to select favor1ble district dele
gates were sent to Rosthern. They found
a good district but the land had not been
behind the surveyor and took 1t up as
quickly as it was surveyed. The delegates
therefore returned to Winkler without &C
comprising anything.
Last June trustees of the colony sent
two delegates to Herbert, where they were
offered townships at s4.75 an acre. The
delegates, j. d. Dyck and J. A. Kassen
reported favorably on the land.
The soil Is good, altllo somewhat heavy
in the immediate neighborhood of the
river. There is wood in plenty on the
river banks, and Leithbridge coal can be
obtained at $4.75 a ton in the neighbor-
hood Of Herbert Lumber is inexpensive
and plentiful Wherever land has beer
broken oats, wheat and flax grow In
abundance. Potatoes, tomatoes and al
vegetables can be cultivated. Both
timothy and clover can be grown III
abundance.
A second delegation visited the proposed
new colony last month and reported IA
vorably May Is. Wheat planted has
yielded thirty and thirty five bushels ar
acre. Oats promise equally well, while
flax sown on June 8 is now 21s feet in
height and in full bloom.
The Mennonites have decided as a result
Of these reports to procure by public sub
scriptions among their sect, both in Eu-
rope and America, enough money to buy
the land outright and commence immedi-
ate colonization and development.
There Is land enough for 1000 families
and the prospects are the coming year
will see a prosperous colony city fully es-
tablished on the banks of the Saskatche-
wan river.
