The Interior is very glad to join
with the demand which Mr.. William
]. Bryan makes in the Commoner for
the passage of federal law cutting
the throat of the guessing contest
as the throat of the lottery business
was cut by congressional enact
ment some years ago. Senator Jones
of Arkansas, has introduced such a
bill at Washington and it should be
passed. Proposals of prizes for
guessing are usually framed so that
some mathematical estimates are
possible upon them, and in this way
they are kept from under the legal
definition of lottery. But practical
ly the outcome still depends upon 4
chance, for at best the estimates
cannot be accurate. Ard it is man
ifest that the prize never represent
any service done for any one by tn,
winner, so that it is always unearned
Every vicious influence which attend
outright gambling is therefore cover
ed up in the guessing contest" ant
law is not logical if with the one i
does not also interdict the other.

Will General Kennedy get the PEN

Enquirer reports say the the Sena-

they will compromise on General
Kennedy. The Toledo Blade and
Columbus Dispatch correspondents s
seem sure Kennedy will be agreed
upon and endorsed by both Senators,
and as this in line with suggestions
made by the President, will insure
his appointment. In the meantime
Mr.. Kennedy is in Washington using
his influence.

HANDSOME PIANO
Built for the White House and
Presented to the President.

In the newly decorated Red Room
of the Executive Mansion stands a
beautiful fifteen thousand dollar
piano, which was presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt as the representative
of the United States of America.
Few know the donors of this magni-
ficent instrument, for publicity is sun
desired by them, and they do not wish
the charm of their gift spoiled by
having their names sent broadcast
throughout the land, as though the
present had been bid for self-ad-
vertisement.
1t may be mentioned, however, that
a piano firm in New York city, wish
ing to fttingly commemorate an i'm.
portant event in their Commercial
lives, conceived the idea of de
signing a special piano to go with the
new furnishings of the White House
The entire instrument is overlaid
with gold. 1t is mounted upor
three eagles, half regardant, witt
outspread wings and standing upor
square pedestals draped with laure
wreaths.
The details of the ornamentatior
are very delicate. The outline of the
reverse of the carving on the back o.
the music rack, in pale gold. and th'
band of masks and scrolls about th'
temporary lid are very happy. Tit
groups of dulcimers, tambOurines anC
hageolets in open carving at the side
of the music rack are designed will
sincerity and freshness of feeling
while they afford strength, and a
the same time lightness. to the con
struction- Their treatment is one o
the minor successes of a whole il
which every detail has been though
out with the most loving care.

James r. Gdrfield's Appointment

President Roosevelt has again dem
onstrated his wisdom in the selection
of James R. Garfield to be commits
sioner of corporations in the depart
ment of which Mr.. COrtelyou is the
head. This department of corpora
tions will deal with the internal COM
merce of the United States which is
reckoned by the billions of dollars,
figures equal, it is claimed, to the
foreign commerce of all nations OF
the world combined.
The commissioner of corporations
will have to deal with the trusts. 1t
is not necessary that his appoint
ment be confirmed by the Senate. 1t
was feared that in the event the
President selected man whom the
trusts do not like they might,
through the efforts of certain sena'
tors, have the appointment rejected
The senate provided that the ap-
pointment he confirmed but the house
struck out this provision and in the
haste of passing the bill the senate
overlooked the point, and so there
can be no interference with the
Presidents appointment.
1t will become the duty of the com
missioner of corporations to dea
with the trusts under the laws pass
ed by this congress. If the combi
nations refuse to furnish the com
missioner with such information a;
he has the right to demand under
the law the refusal will be passed tC
the President and by him to congres:
which can strengthen the publicity
feature of the new law if such 4
course is necessary.
Those who have the pleasure Of
knowing James R. Garfield will ap
plaud the appointment. He is the
SON of the martyred President and i:
much like his father in menta
equipment. He is broad, aggressive
and well informed, is man of the
highest personal character and just
the kind of material that a man like
President Roosevelt wO Ild select fol
so important position. Carried /:
now a member of the civil service
commission and wi ], of course, re
sign to assume his new duties. The
President will not be disappointed
In his new commissioner OF commerce

liberties, are impelled by this trust
question, and Roosevelt, seeing the
danger, before the people do, has en-
tered the lists as their leader and is
making great battle against the
cruelty of greed, and the brutality of
sordid wealth, that he may save the
Government of the people. And he
will have the enthusiastic support of
the people of all classes. He is in a
position to lead, he has the ability to
lead, and the heart to lead, and woe

"A Southern Preacher and

ProClaimS the Opinion That In

This Continent.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr.. a Baptist
preacher, who was reared and educa-
ed in the South, has for several years
lived in the North, because its civil
ization, business and culture are
superior to the South, and spends a
good part of his time lecturing in
the North. Having the gift of CAB,
he draws good audiences like Sam
Jones' and evidently considers him
self an oracle. Saturday. he was in
Cleveland, and unbosomed himself to
a reporter of the Leader, as follows:
"Just now," the South needs the
Negro. 1t is section of the country
that is being rapidly developed, and
the services of the Negro as a labor
er are in great demand. A time will
come, however, when the Negro will
be looked upon by the white as COM
petitor in the labor market. When
| that time comes; when the presence
of the Negro becomes burdensome
to the white man, and that time, is
rapidly drawing near, the latter will
try to suppress the Negro. The Negro
will resent this, and war in its most
