one knew what merit it might display.
The bill proposed by the committee as
a substitute was printed in T he J our
n al yesterday, and it does not take
long<to discover that St IS III no sense
a substitute for the original bill. It
has no provision whatever for reciprocal
demurrage, and the only thing it at
tempts to do is to give the railroad COM
mission the right to regulate the pres
ent demurrage charges. No one is
complaining Of extortion Or injustice in
the present system. Demurrage charges
are a good thing for the shipper as
well as the railroad, because they keep
the cars moving. What the shipper is
demanding is that the railroad shall
pay him demurrage when it fails to fur
nish him cars that he orders. This de-
mand is not recognized at all in the
Hugo, or committee bill, &c.,. !, ~.

No Manana in japan.

i A Japanese army officer visiting in
fEngland was asked for some incidents
fof the Manchurian campaign. "There
fwere no incidents,'' he replied, "every-
thing happened as our commanders had
fplanned in advance that it should hap
tpen.''
i This is perhaps rather large order,
HUT there is no doubt the Japanese
have accomplished great deal of
what appears to us marvellous by pre-
paredness. But the fact that they have
picked out in advance the places where
Fthe' battles should be fought is not out
fside the proper range of military sci
ence. Grant, Napoleon, Kitchener and
TALL really competent commanders of
Emodern armies did the same thing.
FLord Wolseley pricked on the map the
|spot where he would meet the forces of
the mahdi, and weeks afterwards met
land crushed them on that very spot.
i What is truly admirable about the
Japanese is that they have been able
TO take advantage of the successful
features Of all other military organiza-
Itions and to learn from their own mis-
takes. In the Korean war the Japanese
sailors died like flies from beri-beri;
lin the Chinese war disease carried off
their soldiers faster than the survivors
could inter them. !, The Japanese
studied and pondered these things un-
til they developed a medical department
that has conquered the plague and
which has accomplished wonders in the
hospital The Japanese medical service
is the most highly honored in the army.
8 When the Japanese army moves the
medical corps moves in the front and
picks out the place for the encampment.
It has the power to veto the selection of
camping place that does not fit it's
ideas. The result is that the Japanese
army finds the best of conditions pro-
vided.s
The quality Of being prepared is the
hardest one to instil into the human
mind. The Japanese have learned it.
There is no "manana' in Japan.

The Fame Of Brooten.

It may never attract the attention Of
Lincoln j. Steffens; it may never be
set forth in the Civic Reform Guide,
but the village. of ,Brooten, state Of
Minnesota, has been enjoying a little
game Of graft that has it's points of
excellence and even of originality.
What is it the poet says?
On Pittsburg graft why lavish all your
&c.. lays? - ~ 81
Come, honest muse, and sing sweet Broo-
tens praise.
Brooten has, a village president, a
village marshal, a village hall and a
village bell. 1t has two flour dealers,
one of whom is the said president, and
now it has lawsuit. which explains
all the rest. -
The village president, in his private
capacity as dealer in; -four, conceived
the idea Of making Brooten famous by
making flour cheaper there than any
where else on earth. To sell flour
cheap, it must be got cheap, it must
be handled cheap: or. it must be sold
without profit. The village president
knew all these things: He knew that
he could not buy cheaper than his ri
val; he had no thought of giving up a
legitimate profit, but he, did see way
to handle flour very cheap, and on the
success Of this plan hung the subse-
quent fame Of Brooten.
/ He would store his flour in the city
hall, for which he paid no rent. When
the housewife wanted -four, she would
ring the town bell. And who would
take her order and deliver the flour to
hers The village marshal would come
running when he heard the bell and
deliver the goods But would not the
marshal expect some extra pay for this
extra "servicef Yes, and the village
president would. see that he got it, too
He would have his salary raised by the
village council: :'zs@ t..>
| The whole plan worked like a charm
The town bell SOON began: to ring with
"a pleasant frequency that carried more
joy to- the heart Of the village presi
dent than Shandon bells or the marriage
bells or Swiss bell ringers ever did tc
anybody. These were not merely auric

The Review Of Reviews has calmly TAX
en- up the matter Of reforming the senate.
It says:
We have no charges at all to make; but,
In the calmest possible way, we would
suggest to good citizens in the different
states that they ask and answer for them
selves several questions: ID Is their own
state represented by senators, one or both
of whom are looked upon at Washington
as the tools of private interests? (2l If
they are under such suspicion. to what
extent Is the suspicion justifable? 60
Are the senators from their state the
very best men who could be sent to Wash
ington? (D If they are not, how can
good citizens organize to defeat the spe-
cial interests that in so many states, OF
recent years, have managed to dictate the
election Of United States. senators?

president, these questions may seem to be
almost '.inspired.',s

Saturday Evening,

wrote chapters of new law into the re-
vision, and assumed the law-making
power. The most up-to-date revision in
the country, that adopted by Massa-
chusetts in 1902, was framed on the old
accepted theory. In the preface to that
revision the commission explains the
powers that were given to it by the act
Of 1895, which created it. This law
said: ~. ~.
In consolidating and arranging the stat.
utes, the commission shall have authority
to omit enactments which were redund
ant. and which had ceased to have any
effect or influence on existing rights; to
reject superfluous words; to-. condense
into as concise and comprehensive form
as is consistent with q full and clear ex-
preston of the will Of the legislature all
circuitous. Pathological and ambiguous
phraseology. and to suggest any mistakes,
omissions, inconsistencies and imperfec-
tons which may appear in the laws to be
consolidated and arranged, and the man.
ner in which they may be corrected, sup
piled and amended.
If the Minnesota commission had fol-
lowed this plan of action, and had con-
fined itself to suggesting" changes in
the law, the revision would have been
a holiday task for the legislature. But
the members have found the code so
interviewer with new matter that it was
impossible to remove it all. The code,
as it stands, is partly restatement of
the old law, which can only be used as a
starting point to work back from. 1t is
also a mass of minor changes in the old
law, whose effect no one can tell until
they are put in operation.
The risk we are running is great

imaginary. What is the hurrys
