magistrate.
Manager Guggenheim of Sherry's and E. S.

be exposed, that it may be a lesson to him.
What right has boy of your age to be touch

father and mother will never be a success in

Mr.. Rockhin said;
It came into existence about the time that the

JAPAN'S NEW LOAN.

Only small part-probably not
over s25,000,00O in the aggregate-of
| Iapan's new $3.50. 10000 loan Is to be

S surprising, as money is rather plen-

Tecent theoretical stringency. The
iqueeze on Wall street a week or two
rgo sent call money up to % per cent
or time. but a decline quickly set

iverage for the crop-movlng season,
Oddly enough. France gets more
han twice as much of this latest jap
lnese loan as comes to the United
States. France takes 100000. 900 of
he loan. although, as an ally of Rus
ia, she had been averse to helping
Japan financially during the war
Money is commonly somewhat plenti.

as the United States. To the Japan.
SO loan foated in July of this year
70 United States contributed s5O,OOO,-

t is believed that England will con.
ribute more than half of the present
'25O00O,0 900 borrowed by her ally. To
'ermany will probably be assigned as
mail an amount as to the United
States.
The significant thing about the pres
ent Japanese loan is that no specific
security is demanded from her. She
gets money on the same terms as
England, France, Germany or the
United Staes. Her faith and credit
are the only collateral that are asked
by the contributors of the cash. Thus,
financial standing, Japan is placed
on the same level as the most ad-
yanced of the great nations. She can
not borrow money at so low a figure
's the United States. England or
France, but If she conducts herself as
sanely in the next year or two as the
world believes she will, she will be
able to get money on exceedingly IA
vorable terms. This is Japan's fifth
loan since the beginning of the war,
little over year and three-quarters
ago, and her bonds are expected to he
sold in the United States for about
81. The war has cost Japan over
81 900 100000 in the aggregate, but in.

INLAND WATER IMPROVEMENTS

The people of the United States are
beginning to grasp the possibilities
Of transportation on improved rivers,
canals and lakes. Some things have
happened already, or are going for
ward, that are scarcely understood
in their full significance. II was stat
ed in a recent address before the
American Geographical society that
the river tonnage at Pittsburg exceeds
that OF the Suez canal Back of this
fact is comparatively local system
of river Improvement which has not
received mucn attention in the coun-
try at large and yet has created a
vast commerce. In former years the
rivers forming junction at Pittsburg
shrank in summer to a few inches in
depth, and John Randolph in Congress
heaped ridicule on the idea that IT
was worth while to attempt their i'm
provement. But progressive men of
, affairs, merchants, manufacturers,
farmers and mechanics worked for tue
/ improvements and a tonnage greater
than that of Suez is the outcome. The
Monongahela has been locked and
I locked and damned, the Allegheny in
part has been developed In the same
manner, and so has the Ohio below

steam craft ply on these stretches
all the year round, affordlng water

dustrial establishments.
Nor is the public generally aware
that the national government haJ be-

NO SPLIT AMONG
THE REPUBLICANS
%

II is safe to disregard the story
from Washington that the Republi-
cans in Congress will split over the
question of railway rate regulation.
A division of opinion exists now
among the Republican members of the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee, but there are evidences that this
will practically disappear by the time
that Congress meets. Chairman Ell
kins of that committee denies that he
is opposed to the principle of the
presidents plan. He says he differs
with the president only on details, and
the details. OF course, are something
which will have to be arranged in
Congress. The president has nothing
to do with the minute provisions of
the regulation scheme In his forth
coming message he will urge the en-,
actment of a law that will give GER
tain powers in the regulation of rates
to the Interstate commerce commits
sion or to some other board belonging
to the general government, but Con
gTess. II 1t agrees with the scheme,
will frame the measure.
From present indications a majority
of the Republican members of the SEN
ate Interstate commerce committee
will be on the presidents side by the
opening of Congress. Cullom of Hi
nois and Dolliver Of Iowa have been
with the president from the begin
ming. Millard of Nebraska, who is
counted as doubtful, is also with the
president. Several times in the past
few months he has made his attitude
plain to the country. There is now a
reasonable chance that Elkins will
side with the administration by the
time the bill is framed which will pre-.
sent the matter to the senate. Forak.
Bile conflict between him and the
president on the rate issue, which
means that they believe Foraker will
be over on the presidents side by the
time the subject comes up In Con
gress. Kean of New Jersey. who is
new man in the senate, and who
has been placed among the oppon'
ents of the presidents policy, Is re-
ported to be swinging over to the ad-
ministration. The division among the
Republicans of the senate Interstate
commerce committee will not be seri'
GUS enough to give the Democrats any
aid and comfort
At least three facts will prevent
split among the senate Republicans
on the rate regulation question The
people OF the country, by a large ma
jority. favor that policy. A rate regu
lation bill will pass the house early
In the session, and will receive the
votes of three-fourths or more Of the
Republican members At that chamber
