HOPES FOR REPUBLIC
Federal Convention at Manila Indorses
Roosevelt's Policy

BY Associated Press.
MANILA, June 20.-The federal con-
vention has reassembled After a
heated discussion it was resolved to
place among the resolutions a section
advocating the policy of President
Roosevelt to transform the government
Of the islands by permitting govern
ment by the Filipinos with the assist
ance of Americans. The federals be-
lieve that If this policy be followed con-
stantly and progressively it will result
in complete self government.
The definite aim desired is an ulti-
mate republican government, though at
the same time maintaining necessary
political union with the United States
The radical wing Of the party opposed
a clause in the resolutions supporting
Secretary Taft's policy, and left the
meeting, to reassemble again.

His triumphs in the financial and
cial world have been many and a de-
light to his American friends who have
watched his rapid ascent of the ladder
of success with a pride born of loug
friendship, in which he has fully sus-

He claims his residence at Salt Lake

New York and London, where he and
his wife, formerly of Leadville, are
the most lavish of entertainers, and in
England they are admitted to the in

Social Successes
An honor not extended to any other
woman was that enjoyed by Mrs.
Newhouse when she occupied the post
of honor in the parade and ceremonies
attending the coronation of King Ed
ward, she preceding the corps of am
bassadors representing every nation
on the face of the earth.
This distinction accorded an Ameri-
can woman was the social sensation
Of coronation week, but merely at
tested the high favor in which Mr.
and Mrs. Newhouse are held at the
royal home of Britain's ruler.
During the Boer war, Mrs. New
house was leader in the movement
which resulted in sending the hospital
ship Maine" to South Africa to sue
cor the sick and wounded soldiers on
both sides of the fierce conflict, her
efforts being largely responsible for
the outfitting of the ship and its sue
cessful results.
In social affairs in London. Mrs.
Newhouse is regarded as a leader and
her hospitality is enjoyed by the ex-
elusive set in the favor of the reign
ing house.
Built FIatiron Building
One of the achievements for which
Mr. Newhouse has become famous
throughout the civilized world is the
successful building of the unique and
decidedly original Flatiron building in
New York city. He bought the ground
conceived the design and erected this
building, which has attracted so much
attention and discussion all over the
globe.
He also constructed the Newhouse
tunnel which connects the cities of
Georgetown and Central City, Colo,
the tunnel extending under mountain
separating the cities, and taps several
rich, paying veins of mineral wealth,
which have long since repaid the heavy
expense of constructing the tunnel.
His other mining and smelling prop
critics are located in the southwestern
portion of the United States and all
over Mexico. and to attempt an estt-
mate of his vast wealth would be fool
hardy, for 1t is said that even he Is
unacquainted with the figures.
He is genial gentleman, polished
and highly educated. He is also
brilliant conversationalist and withal i
most pleasant man to meet.

RUsslA'S INCREASING TROUBLES

Troubles grow from day to day for
the Russian government and when &,
under what conditions the end will be
reached no man can foresee. The grav-
est fact in the situation is the spread of
the revolutionary spirit in the army and
navy, which threatens the utter demOrall-
zation Of what has been the bulwark
and security OF the government. How
far the mutinous spirit will 60 it is i'm
possible to say, but the indications are
infected most of the men who are serv-
ing in the military establishment. The
soldiers and sailors who have revolted
have the sympathy of the people and
especially of the working classes and I'M
doubtedly the revolutionaries will to the
fullest extent use the opportunity to in
cite mutiny in the army and navy. They
understand fully that If they can accom-
plish the decentralization OF the govern
ment's military and naval power they
will have a pretty clear course toward
the attainment OF what they desire.
No prediction as TO what may yet take
place before peace and order are re-
established in Russia is OF any value, so
confused and troubled are all the condi-
tons. While a portion OF the people are
showing a conservative disposition,
among a much larger element there is a
tendency to turbulence. There is an in
fiammable mass that may at any time
burst forth and renew the work of
slaughter and destruction. Meanwhile
1t is not apparent that Count Witte and
his ministers are making much substan-
tial progress In securing popular conf

ton which is reported to exist. Our
government should treat the people OF
Porto Rico at least as well as the Span
ish government did, and it appears evi-
dent that thus far IL has not done so.
The change of flags was most cordially
welcomed by the Porto Ricans. who re
garded It as giving assurance OF a larger
measure OF freedom and self-govern-
ment Their present attitude attests
that they have been disappointed and
that unless something is done to improve
political conditions in the direction they
desire our government is likely to have
no little trouble in dealing with them.
1t is not to be doubted that the appeal Of
the Porto Ricans for self-govenment
will have the sympathy of a very large
portion of the American people.

NO FINANCIAL LEoTsLATIov.


It seems to be practically settled that
no comprehensive financial bill can be
put through congress at the coming ses-
sion. II is TO be expected that the advo-
Gates OF more elastic currency, OF
whom Secretary Shaw is one. will make
an effort to secure some action In sup
port of their idea. but while it may find
favor with a considerable number Of
congressman there is very little proba-
bllity OF anything being done. 1t is
pointed out that the forces in charge of
legislation are the same which have al
ways opposed such measures and there
is no reason why they should change
their attitude. The fact is that there
is very general feeling in the business
world that the existing financial system,
while not perfect. is working very well
and that there would be quite as likely
TO be harm as good from meddling with
1t at present. So far as the question of a
more elastic currency is concerned, it
has been verv fully discussed and has
not made a very great impression upon
the public. The banking interest is by
no means unanimous regarding 1t, in
view of the conditions which its advo-
Gates would impose, and the general
business interests appear to be to a large
extent Indifferent, since they experience
no difficulty in obtaining whatever ac-
commodations they require.
II has been stated that the secretary
Of the treasury will recommend an eX-
tension Of federal control and regulation
Of the national banks, with a view espe-
cially of preventing arbitrary increases
in the rate of interest, as was done a
short time since in New York. What
specific suggestions Secretary Shaw will
make are not now known, but 1t is safe
to say that what it is reported he will
recommend will not receive any very
serious attention from congress. It will
hardly be questioned that there is some
danger in the unrestricted power of the
banks to raise the interest rate, but
tltIt Is ItdSOn 10 DelltNe illdl COnSTtSS
will not attempt to interfere with it. 1t
is suggested as not improbable that a
bill for the improvement of national
bank examinations may be passed. The
support of such a measure by the comp
troller of the currency is counted upon,
he having more than once urged that
improvement can be made in the matter
of bank examinations. That these are
not always as careful and thorough as
they should be is very generally adj
mitted and has been shown i'm numerous
cases of bank failures. Many bank ex-
aminers have more work imposed upon
them than they can perform efficiently.
The existing monetary system has
been found adequate under all condi-
tons and exigencies thus far and there
Is reason to think will continue to be
for an indefinite time in the future.
The advocates of so-called reforms
urge the possibility OF difficulties at
some time in the years to come, but
their fear in this regard is not very inn
pressive. At all events the country is
very well satisfied with the monetary
system as It is and there is no general
disposition to try expedients or expert
ments.

The merchants of st. Louis are con
Quoting a vigorous campaign for an
early morning fast mail service from
St Louis to the cities and towns in
Oklahoma on the Frisco line. Why
cannot Omaha merchants do likewise
with regard to an early morning fast
mail service over the Union Pacific and
Burlington lines, or at least one of the
two overland lines? Nearly every other
city in the country has for years en-
joyed fast mail service way beyond its
trade territory, but westward bound
mails in Omaha are held until or 8
o'clock in the morning and do not reach
most of the Nebraska towns before noon
or late in the afternoon. This affects
not merely the merchants, but the news
papers. 1t goes without saying that the
newspapers exert a powerful influence
in stimulating trade. and the paper that
gets there first circulates the most and
the country merchants naturally give
their patronage to the cities whose
papers they are accustomed to read. I'M
less some other city enjoys special adj
vantage in transportation rates.

APPEAL FoR 4 NOBLE CHARITY

The appeal of Rev. f. A. Fogelstrom,
rector of the Emmanuel Deaconess Insti-
tute and manager of the Emmanuel hos
pital, for substantial aid to meet the
growing and imperative needs of these
benevolent esta blishments merits gener-
Gus response at the hands of Omaha
phlanthropists.
Although this community has within
the past year contributed most literally
to the establishment and upbuilding Of
various educational, benevolent and
charitable institutions, none are more
deserving and more entitled to consid-
GRAFTON than the hospitals that are open
at all times of the year and at all times
of the day to invalids and persons dis
abled by accident or chronic diseases
The benefCent work, which within the
past few years has been carried OH by
an organization Of Swedish-Amerlcan
women who have devoted their lives to
the nursing of patients under the care
of the Emmanuel hospital, merits en-
enlargement and recognition at the
hands of oil who are in position TO rem

and donation, and this is the season of

DANISH SALOONS FROM THE PRO
SCRIRED DTSTRICT.

Twelve months ago an earnest appeal
lice Commissioners to refuse to relicense
all saloons located within the prescribed
district. 1t is a matter of notOriety that
these licensed dram shops derive their
patronage chiefly from the lawless and
vicious, and are moreover resorts for
dangerous criminals who infest the city
from time to time For reasons not ex-
planned the board turned a deaf ear to
the appeal last year and granted licenses
TO these outlaw saloons, the only color
Of justification being that the protests
formally filed against them by Elmer f.
Thomas had been withdrawn in con-
formity with compact alleged to have
been made between the Civic Federation
and the legal representatives of disor-
derby resorts, that they would henceforth
and forever live up to the law and keep
orderly places.
This compact was no sooner made
than 1t was broken. 1t is a matter of
notorlety that saloons located in the pro-
scrlbed district had little business in the
daytime and the most of their business
was after midnight. In the nature of
things it is out of the question for them
to observe the law strictly or to main
tain order when their patronage comes
from a class of men and women stepped
in vice and crime and requiring constant
police surveillance.
The time has now come for rational
license reform. The line should be
drawn between decent and orderly
places and resorts that are designed al
most exclusively for the entertainment
of the most degraded and lawless class
of the community. 1t should not require
individual protest to Danish the saloons
from the prescribed district The police
board has ample power to reject appli-
cations for license for saloons located
within the district, and this power it
should exercise fearlessly in the inter
est of good government.

DIRGE FOR TAMMANY's CHIEF.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Not drum was heard, not a funeral note
AS Murph to his grave ground was hur-
ried:
For the grafters who couldn't control the
vote
From the sickening scene had scurried.
They buried him gladly at dead OF night
The sods with their auto wheels turning,
By the struggling moonbeams misty light
And the gas lamps dimly burning.
Short and strong were the things that were
said
About Chawles in his hour of sorrow,
AS they silently gazed on the conical head
And thought of the ''roasts' on the NOR
row.
Loudly they'll talk OF the leader" that's
gone,
And for his bad record upbraid him;
But little he'll reck, II they let him sleep on
In the grave where the people had iaia
him.
