IN YEARS.. - -
- syssss Exc: rss77s:
John III. Reagan Passes Away
at the Age of Eighty-SiX.
He Was. the Last Surviv-
ing Member of the
Confederate
Cabinet.

Houston, Texas, March 6.-Judge
John III. Reagan, sole surviving
member of the Confederate Cabinet,
died to-day at Palestine, Texas, of
pneumonia. Judge Reagan, who
was Sc years old, had been in failing
health for year or more.
Judge Reagan was born in Sewer
county, Tenn, October 8, 1918. He
was postmaster general in the Con-
federate cabinet. After the civil war
he was elected district judge in Tex
as, and later to the United States
Senate. After retiring from the Sen
ate Judge Reagan was appointed
chairman of the State railroad COM
mission, but from this he resigned a
few years ago. AT the time of his
death he Was engaged in writing his
biography.
Judge Reagan was first elected to
congress IN 1856 as a Democrat. He
remained in congress until 1861,
when he returned home and was
elected to the state convention, in
which he voted for sessession. He
was chosen by the convention to the
provisional Confederate congress.
He was also acting secretary of Il @
Confederate treasury tor a short
time near the close Of the war. He
was the only one of the cabinet that
was captured with Jefferson Davis,
and was confined for many months
in Fort Warren. He had conferences
with President johnson, Speed and
others on reconstruction, and wrote
an open letter to the people of Texas,
advocating laws for the protection of
negroes, which should grant them
civil rights and limited political
rights, with an educational quail
fication. His letter subjected him to
misconstruction, and he was retired
from politics for nine years. But he
was elected to congress by 1900
majority in 1874, in 1875 by 500 and
after 1878 with little or rnoopposition.
For nearly ten years he held con-
tinuously the post of chairmrn of the
committee on commerce, with the
exception of one term, and has been
noted for his decided views and ef-
forts to regulate interstate commerce.
He was one of the authors of the
Cullom-Reagan interstate commerce
bill, which became law in 1887. In
1888 he took his seat in the United
States Senate, having been chosen
for the term that ended in 1898.
Since then he has been chair man OF
the Texas state aailrOad commission.
Judge Reagan was in this city
Thursday transacting business. Whe q
he returned home the family ply
sician was called. He complained
of pain In the lungs. Sunday pneu-
monia set in and he grew rapidly
worse. Gathered in the death cham
ber were his wife and daughters and
w. Greenwood, his son-in-law.
Hundreds of kilograms of condo
lence are being received from al
parts of the United States.
The funeral will take place a.

That Mr.. Swartzell lacks the discre-

action Of the board in arranging that
he shall be transferred In order TO
transfer him, however, it is not at all
necessary that he should displace an
other principal whose work has been
as successful as MS has been unsuc-
cessful. And it is no more necessary
in order to relieve $50 pupils of his

Increasing Our Exports.

July first, as the beginning of a new
fiscal year, holds high place in the
minds of the people of Washington
who are engaged in the service of the
Government. 1t brings new visions
Of peace and plenty 1t means the
tine has arrived when new appropria-
lions become available, when the de-
partment head IS able to take UP new
lines of work by grace of the liberal
ity Of Congress, the bureau chief to
assume new air Of opulence in the
exercise OF his official dictatorship,
and the weary worker in the clerical
class adopt more easy-going air than
ever. It's all in the atmosphere. It's
the beginning of the new fiscal year.
While this is the prevailing tone of
things in officialdom at the National
Capital. the coming of the new fiscal
year has another significance n some
ether directions. To specify many of
them would be laborious and uninter-
esting except to lover of statistics.
But TO mention one alone is to open
up vista of opportunity interesting
enough for thousands of the wage
earners OF the whole country, from
ocean to ocean. This is the provision
in the last legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, effective
July l. authorizing trade experts to
go abroad in the interest of extending
American trade.
Five fayorably known young men
have been appointed to this work and
have already entered upon theil
duties. They are to receive $40 day
and travelling expenses, and are tt
take different sections of the populou:

department is to make known their
findings to Congress.
Uncle Sam is paying $50, 900 as an
experiment to see what these young
men will have to say on the point Of
opportunities for promoting the for
eign commerce of the United States.
But he expects to get results which
will be measured in the millions.
American trade is good trade and the
peoples of the earth are beginning to
find it out generally But it is not an
American way of doing business to sit
still and compel foreign travellers to
come here to find out what we can
give them at better prices than the
most favored nation with which they
have been dealing heretofore. 1t is
the Yankee way to push trade, and
that is the reason these five advance
agents have been named.
July l has brought to them the op-
portunity to spread their wings and
| fly away. When the winter winds
| do blow they will be back again. with
| splendid tales of all the wonders OF
nature and civilization and ethnology
they have seen. It is expected they will
also have under their hats the infor-
nation which Congress has contract
ed for, in behalf of the American mer-
chant who wants to put his manufac-
tured goods in all the available mar
kets Of the world The opening of a
new fiscal year means much, there
fore, and prospectively, to American
manufacturers and the likelihood of
their being satisfied with results will
be greatly increased if they know
that the search for this information
has now begun.

their way round the globe and are

An IndiscTeet Russian.
The governor is right.

At last man has been discovered
in Russian officialdom who does not
care how brightly may glare the lime
light of publicity, and displays no fear
that its disseminating rays may dis
close direful conditions. He has been
discovered in most unexpected quar-
ter, for he is the censor of news at
st. Petersburg, usually regarded as a
model OF discretion, but now, happily
or unhappily, grown rash and rasher
The measure of his temerity is d
telegram under an Odessa date line, q
date line which at the present time
ought to cause any sedate and well
regulated censor to put extra weights
on the lid. This telegram reads:
Odessa, July IT (old style).-The tran
quiility of the city .saving been inter
rupted. martial law has been declared
II this censor keeps to this course
all Russia will soon know what hap
pened to Togo, and then there will
be trouble.

Simplicity for Funerals.

Governor Hoch of Kansas has made
a speech advocating simplicity for
funerals and the abolition of black as
an emblem of mourning. He goes
even further and condemns the prac-
tice of exposing the dead to public
view.
The governor is right.
If Christianity teaches anything. it's
great lesson is the immortality of the
soul. 1t is based on the belief that
this life is but a preparation for a
future and better existence In the
light of that belief it is absurd to
make the death of the body an oc "a
sion for what often seems an obtru-
sive display of heart-broken grief.
More simplicity in funerals is also
much to be desired 1t is a sad COM
mentary on the faith that shall move
mountains that funeral should be
the occasion for a lugubrious demon
stration which, if justified at all,
could only be on the ground that
death ON earth means loss of the
soul as well as the body of the dead.
Simplicity is in all things an ex-
cellent thing. Decorum and absti-
hence from the overwrought express
sion of all emotions are the signs OF
| calm faith and a knowledge of what is
fit and appropriate. 1t is surely not
appropriate that funeral should be
place for hopeless lamentation and
despairing weeping.
The governor is right.

Enough Ten Times Over.

A cause like that of the public play
grounds enlists the labors Of men and
women out of pure love for humanity.
Their only recompense lies in the sue
cess of their cause, and the success of
the cause is measured by the good
done for others. This is pretty close
to real charity, isn't it?
That this is the spirit of the play
grounds movement was manifest at
yesterdays meeting of the Fairgrounds
committee. The workers knew their
business. They had planned play
grounds ali over the city for the use
not of children in the abstract, but
of the children in each particular Sec
ton of the city. They had put them
In charge of trained workers among
children-teachers in kindergartens,
men familiar with the child-nature and
in sympathy with it, and experienced
supervisors of public fairgrounds.
The results were what might have
been expected One lady who under
took to tell a story to little children
had 125 childish auditors. Another,
who was to teach games, had class
of seventy-f1ve These we're two re-
ports only. But the teachers and
organizers were ready to give seven
teen others like them.
And the money was coming in. The
E<xr,% ~
further was to be raised But the
people of Washington were interested
In earnest Those who could not give
more were giving 81, and those who
could not give 81 were giving so cents.
Surely there was abundant evidence
that the people of Washington were
not only understanding the play
grounds cause, but were ready to give
it support.
What prospect all this suggestsi
Twenty Fairgrounds with perhaps
seventy-five children on each play
ground all through the hot months of
summer. Maybe it is your province
to go off to the seashore and swear
when the breeze is off shore and fuss
because the meals are always the
same If it is, you will have to
stretch your imagination TO realize
what relief these 500 children will
find in the Fairgrounds. But if it is
your province to stand over a hot
stove, or bend over steami1lg tub, or
work in hot shop and come home
at night to wife weary and dis
couraged, you will not need to stretch
your imagination You will know
that place is being found for your
little girls off the streets and your
young boys away from the alleys. You
will know that your support has con-
tributed to supply what the city has
failed to supply. And you will be
mighty content in the prospect OF
healthful bodies and clean minds
when the winter comes.
Yes-the only return to those who
work for the Fairgrounds is the sue
cess of their cause. But 1t is enough
ten times over.
