ENGLAND UPHOLDs JAPAN.

London. Aug 21.-The Associated Press was informed at the foreign or fee to-day that President Roosevelt has not reauested the British govern ment to make representations to Ja- pan on the question of peace. The for eign office thinks it would be imper- tinent for the British government to request Japan to modify her demahds. The government believes that these demands are moderate and that Japan should not be deprived of the fruits Of her victory. '.
 The foreign office further said 1t did not believe that Japan would modify the terms put forward at the opening of the conference.
 Official reports received by the gov. ernment from Russia take a gloomy view of the situation. The members of the British cabinet are divided, some taking hopeful view and oth- CTS believing that all hope of peace has been dissipated.
 This would have been an Ideal day to negotiate peace. It is an even pleasanter day to bask in the warm sunshine on the veranda and this IS what many of the attaches of both missions are doing. The principals, however, Baron Komura and Mir Ta- kahira and Mir Witte, nave no time for recreation. Before breakfast this morning Mir Witte, although he was not feeling well. was hard at work and he scarcely stopped while breakfast was served to him in his room. Baron De Rosen hsd not returned from Mag nolia.
 No plans for either mission have been announced today, but as both are expecting cablegrams from their home governments which may decide the fate of the negotiations 1t Is un- likely that they will go far from the hotel today. The Dolphin has re ceived orders to sail for Boston and will probably get under way this morning. It is assumed here that she will later return here In case the en- voys upon the conclusion of their la bors wish to return to New York by water.
 The Mayfower will remain through out the conference.

AN INNOVATION.

AS near as can be figured out from
reading the reports of the controversy,
the mothers of some of the high school
children who belong TO fraternities and
sororities, have met and passed some
resolutions protesting against their
children belonging to secret societies
of this character, while the children
insist that the societies are all right.
The action of the mothers is an
other twentieth century innovation.
There was once a time when the ma
ternaI slipper was deemed more eff
fective than a set of resolutions, but
perhaps that day has passed The
proper thing now seems to be to meet
and draw up some resolutions to con-
troll the rising generation. If your boy
insists on playing hockey, get the
other patrons of the school together
and resolute on the subject. If your
six-year-old daughter insists on max
ing mud pies in the gutter against
your wishes, call in the neighbors
and pass a resolution. If the baby
cries at night when by all the rules of
fairness and decency it ought to be
asleep, why not draw up a resolution
or two?
We are assured by the youthful
members that the sOrorities and fra
ternities in the high school are a good
thing; that they are organized with
excellent purposes in view. It is quite
probable that this is true. It is also
quite possible that they may be over
done. A good many older people
know from experience that such or
CARNATIONS frequently are overdone,
even by those of more mature judg-
ment. To an outsider it appears that
a firm guiding hand on the part of the
parents would straighten out any diff
Guilty there may be regarding these in
situations. Then if the parties in
terfere with the studies of the mem
bers of the societies, the school au-
thorities can make some rule regard

Getting the Taint On NToner-

In all probability the action Of the
Congregationalists in bowling to the
VIII OF Mr.. Rockefeller was FASTENED by
the expert opinion of President Eliot,
who declares that the church did ex-
actly right in accepting the money"
What President Eliot does not know
about the acceptance of money cannot
be taught in the ordinary four years
course at great university, and some
thing seems to murmur to US out of this
fine Chicago fog that If Mr.. Rockefeller
should start for Cambridge with a mil
lion or two in tainted funds for Har-
ward. President Elliot would meet him
at the Back Bay station with a carpet
sack and a police escort and go with
him at once to the bank. And we
should think the more of him for it.
The sooner we get the faint off money
by applying it to good uses the better.

CATCHING TIP.

Are the majority of the people OF
the United States just catching up
with the Kansas Populists of twelve
years ago? There are some things
which indicate as much. If you hap
pen to have a relic of the days of Pop
ulism in the shape of some of the lit
erature that was published at that
time you will be surprised at the
similarity of some of it to things you
see in the staid eastern papers today.

fore the public had been forced to take
the millions of dozens of eggs that the
packing trust had in cold storage
