GOLF AND SWEARING.
Efforts to Lift the Game to q
Christian Basis,
WRshinRton Post

Rev. George Cady. a preacher at Iowa
Falls, Ia, has formed an organization OF
Christian golhsts who pledge themselves
not to swear during the progress OF the
game. He is an enthusiastic golfer, and
being debarred by the sanctity OF his pro-
fession from expressing his disgust and
anger in profane terms, he wants COM
panions in his misery.
Such is the story which comes to us
upon the throbbing wires. The reverend
gentleman is evidently reformer, good
and proper. At the same time, we desire
to relieve the ancient and honorable game
Of golf from the opprobrium which is cast
upon IL by Mr. Cady's announcement. Men
swear, of course, when they are playing
golf, but so do men utter profane ejaoula-
tions when they prick their fingers or stub
their toes or tread upon a tack at night
while walking with a baby. Why is golf
singled out as the one game which is
provocative of improper language7 II is
true that when the niblick fails to extract
the ball from under the wall Of a high
bunker or when a drive is topped into tse
high grass the occasion demands strong
language; but IL is equally true that
muffied fly or a badly returned tennis ball
OF a mean split on the bowling alley Is also
likely TO lead TO an exclamation not fit TO
print. The fact is that a man who swears

AFTER PEACE.

With the ending OF the war both Rus
sia and japan may be expected TO begin
as soon as possible the work Of indus
trial and commercial development
While there is no accurate information
as to what the conflict has cost them.
they are poorer by hundreds of millions
Of dollars than before. Russia has ad-
ded largely to a national debt that be
fore the war was a heavy burden. Her
industries have declined and her foreign
commerce has fallen Off 20 the extent of
fully one-third Of what 1t was prior to
the war Present conditions in much
Of the empire are said to be very bad
crops much below the average and in
some districts a complete failure, fam
Inc imminent in several provinces, great
numbers of people already suffering
hunger, and an army of workingmen in
the cities unemployed. Now that the
government has no longer to think of
providing for war expenditures 1t un-
doubtedly will promptly turn its atten-
ton to relieving the unfortunate inter
nal conditions as far as It is possible to
do so. For this purpose II is assumed
that 1t will have no difficulty in obtain
ing whatever money It may need. A re-
vival OF industrial activity and a res
toration of foreign commerce are to be
looked for as an early result of the
termination Of hostilitles. Russia has
great resources and with her statesmen
devoting themselves, as they are now
free to do, to the consideration Of poll
cies for promoting the development Of
the country's resources, Russia within
the next decade may be in better condi-
ton, as to all her material interests,
than she was at the outset Of the disas-
trous conflict just ended.
Japan, also, will bend all her energies
TO the enlargement Of her industries and
the extension Of her trade. Her national
debt is now about three times what it
was when she went to, war, but while a
good deal Of burden upon the country
II will be taken care Of without great
difficulty. The industries and the for
eign commerce Of Japan did not suffer
from the war. On the contrary there
was during the past year a considerable
increase in the imports and exports of
the country. There can be no doubt
that her trade will steadily grow and
that she will make rapid progress in in
dustrial development. 1t is reasonably
to be expected that Japan will find a
much larger market for her products in
China than heretofore, while she Will
derive great benefit from the develop
ment of Corea that is now certain to
take place. An example Of what Japan
is capable Of doing in upbullding is fur
nished in Formosa, whose commerce is
flvefold greater than when the island
came under japanese control. While
the resources Of Japan are not compara-
BILE in extent to those of Russia, yet
they are very considerable and there are
no more energetic and enterprising peo-
pie than the japanese.
The world will continue to feel deer
interest in the two nations whose titanic
struggle is now concluded and it will
be the universal hope that both will earn.

CONTEMPLATING THE PRESIDENT

CONGRATULATING THE PRESIDENT
President Roosevelt, through his sue
cessful efforts for peace, has attained a
pre-eminent position among the worlds
statesmen. History will ascribe to you
the glory" declared NJ. Witte in his
message to Mr.. Roosevelt after the en-
voys had reached an agreement. In a
like spirit are the messages sent by
European rulers. All of them recognize
how great is the credit due the president
Of the United States for the fortunate
outcome OF the Portsmouth conference.
1.-THE whole of mankind must unite, and
will do So" telegraphed Emperor VIII
liam, 'in thanking you for the great
boon you have given it."
1t is a fact universally understood
that the head of no other nation could
have accomplished what was done by
could have interposed without melting
distrust and misgiving on the part of
one or the other of the belligerents. The
appeal of the chief magistrate of this
republic, however, received respectful
attention because 1t was known to be
sincere, disinterested and could not pos
sibly have any Interior motive. 1t was
regarded, also, as representing the earn
est desire for peace of the whole Amer
lean people and the public sentiment OF
this country is a potent influence with
the governments Of the old world. The
nation shares in the honor and glory Of
It's presidents great and memorable
achievement.
Mr.. Roosevelt's political opponents
have asserted that he was not a friend
OF peace. That accusation can no longer
be made. What he has done in bringing
about a termination Of hostilities in the
far east shows him 10 be not only a
friend of peace, tut the most resource
ful OF peacemakers.

CHEAPER Gas FoR oMAHA.

The announcement that the Omaha
Gas company will make a voluntary
reduction in the price of gas to private
consumers, bringing the rate down to
S1.25 per thousand cubic feet after Octo-
ber /, and giving us $l.15 gas after
October 1, 1906, will be received with
qualification by Omaha householders.
When the gas franchise was renewed
twelve years ago with a substantial re-
duction in price and a stipulated sliding
schedule to provide for future reduc-
tions as consumption increased, the peo-
pie were satisfied that they had won a
great victory. The present reductions,
which figured on this years business
amount to a remission of $4,000 to gas
consumers and $4,000 annually after
next year, are no less substantial, and
the gas company will doubtless and
should recoup itself in part by the en-
largement of the consumption of gas
sure to follow the reduction in price.
The connection between the present
reduction. in the price Of gas to private
consumers and the pending renewal
contract for street gas lamps is not en-
tirely clear to the public. The position
Of Mayor Moores and the councilmen
acting with him has been that in the
concessions to be secured the public
should have the preference, and If the
gas company should show a disposition
to be reasonable in the matter of lower
price for private consumers the city
could well afford to meet the cut half
way on the street lighting contract
When the accounts are balanced we are
sure it will be very plain that the public
comes out big winner by the bargain.

prominent member of the Swedish Par
Lament, has arrived in New York.
Charles William Manwaring. a genealo-
gist of note, has just died at Hartford,
Conn. For five years he has been engaged
on an important literary work, which he
completed while on his deathbed.
Charles t. Yerkes. who is building Lon
don's subways, has recovered sufficiently
from his recent severe illness to leave
London for Paris. His recovery had been
pronounced doubtful by eminent specialists.
Meissner, the noted German sculptor, has
completed for the city of Nuremberg the
statue intended as a memorial to Peter
Henlein, who 400 years ago substituted
springs for weights in CLOCKS, and thus
made watches a possibility.
From Salem, Ore, comes the report Of the
death of l.. c. Scovell, one OF the oldest
of the veteran stage drivers and mall car
riers of the Pacific coast. He went from
Iowa In 1858 and drove the first stage coach
on the coast between Corvallis and Oregon
City year later.
Lady Harcourt, who has arrived at New
York from Europe after an absence of
many years, IS the daughter Of the Amer
lean diplomat and historian, John Lothrop
Motley, and the widow Of the late Sir VIII
liam Vernon Harcourt one of the most

new 1OTk Times.
The high prices reached by the stocks
formerly in the Northern Securities COM
pany treasury and by those of the an
thracite coal roads have directed atten-
ton to the profits which have accrued
to the great railroad corporations which
few years ago were forehanded enough
to invest In these stocks. So great have
these profits become and so large is the
income derived from the stocks held that
such companies as the Union Pacific and
Pennsylvania are taking on the charae-
teristics of great investment concerns
which also operate railroads.
How true this is can be seen In the
fact that the Union Pacific owns over
sl93.OOo,OO0 in stock Of other companies
while the Pennsylvania, still the fore
most railroad Of the country in this re-
spect, owns S2T3 10000 of various stocks.
Princely incomes flow TO these roads from
their~stock holdings alone, and this bids
fair TO be augmented in the future, as
there is no abatement TO the stock buy
ing movement by these and other rail-
roads rich enough to indulge themselves.
Outside of the Union Pacihc's great
holdings and the increase of $s3,0 900 in
their market value, although some OF this
must be deducted owing to the fact that
Southern Pacific has as yet paid no divi-
dends, the striking examples of increases
over the purchase prices of stocks held
are found in the anthracite stocks. Here,
too. other factors had made these acqui-
sitions OF great value. The Reading stock
held by Baltimore & Ohio and Lake Shore,
for instance, now pays an annual divi-
dend Of per cent where Il paid nothing
when bought In 1901. Baltimore & Ohio
now pays Pennsylvania an income at the
rate Of per cent on par, or per cent
and more on the cost price Of the stocks
to the Pennsylvania. So again with On
tario & Western, which pays New Haven
a per cent dividend as against nothing
when II was bought. and this is true also

Years at Peter COOper's wonder.
Philadelphia Record.
The seventy-fifth anniversary of the run
made by Peter Coopers locomotive from
Baltimore TO EliIcott's Mills is a convenient
occasion for rejecting upon our national
debt to the annihilator of time and space
The Tom Thumb which was a stationary
engine on a wheeled platform does not in
the slightest degree resemble the machines
that today make a mile a minute without
difficulty, hauling half a dozen ponderous
cars, but there is no more change in the
machines themselves than there is in the
United States.
1t is extremely doubtful II country so
large as ours could have been held together
without the railroad. Communication be-
tween the original thirteen colonies was so
slow and dificult as to endanger their in
terests at times. AS population moved
westward and found itself separated from
the eastern seaboard by a range of noun
tains the scheme OF an independent Mis-
sissippi valley republic began to occupy the
minds of men. There would have been more
danger of its realization had not the Ohio
river afforded means of transportation for
a considerable distance toward the east.
After we acquired the Pacific coast that
remote region was held to the rest OF the
union Dy such 'ffhBlle ties that the least
pressure wQrid have snapped them. AL
though we had aeclared for "F1fty-four-
forty or fght"sin our controversy with
England over the remote northwest, we
compromised for concessions nearer home.
and 1t is hardly to the discredit Of Daniel
Webster that he regarded the Puget sound
region as scarcely worth controversy; it
took so long TO get thereof what real
value could II be, to the people dwelling
between the Atlantic and the Mlssissippi7
When the south kseceded the Pacific coast
was strongly disposed to cast in It's lot

country than with the distant north At

roads were promised as a means OF holding
