Paris, Aug. ga feeling of deep
solicitude prevails concerning the
crisis at Portsmouth. which officials
expect will continue for some days
pending the last desperate efforts to
avert rupture. The view In O6icial
quarters took . discouraging turn. ap-
parently as the result OF confidential

sources.
It Is semi-ofIicially announced that
the special cabinet council to be held

inous OF growing disposition to hold
aloof from proftless Intervention.
The prevailing view among offcials
is that President Roosevelt. having
initiated the movement, should cope
with the difaculties without outside
interference.
French journalists at Portsmouth
continue to quote M. Witte and other
members of the Russian mission as
declaring that rupture Is inevitable.

HOW JOE WORKED HIS WAY.
president Bradley, of Iowa College, in
Christian Endeavor World.1
Joe was a blacksmith's son, one of
seven children, going to school in a
little town of northern Iowa, and do
ing odd jobs about the shop in the
village for the advantage of the fam
lily. Joe would have stayed in the viii
lage always, but for the minister in
the little Congregational church where
he went to Sunday school and Chris
Endeavor Society. The minister said
to Joe: Don't be content to be a
horse boy in N. Go to college
But where's the money coming
from?" said Joe.
"work your way" said the minis
ter. So Joe got together his things,
and packed them in a canvas tele-
scope, and spent about all the money
he had to get to Iowa College.
He arrived in the evening, and tried
to find place to work for his board
and room, but in vain. That night,

ADVANCED POLITICAL ECONOMY.

In a, very interesting article on
",he Political Economist and the
Public" which Jacob II. Hollander,
professor of political economy in John
Hopkins University, contributes to the
February number of the North Ameri-
can Review, the writer pleads for the
adoption, by the political economists,
of the methods which are employed
by the physical scientist In his inves-
legations. He must derive his subject
matter not from past history alone,
nor from the present experience of re-
stricted localities; but he must OBJ
serve and collate the phenomena under
co-extensive With their manifestation:
he must interpret each group OF facts
in the light of the conditions prevails
ing in that particular place: and he
must test the uniformities revealed, by
reference, as tentative hypothesis, to
conditions in still other localities.
When the political economist pursues
his labors along these lines, the public
may be expected To turn to him for
specific and definite guidance with re-
ation to great economic problems
such as trusts, tariffs, and trades I'M
ions. In illustrating his idea of the
proper method of work for the polit-
ical economist, Professor Hollander
says:
eff he Is attempting safe and useful
generalizations, he must consider, for
example, the taxation of corporations
not by one state. but by every state. He
must study the structure and functions
of trades unions, not with respect to
a handful Of labor organizations and
a few convenient cities. but in the light
Of the policy ard practice, declared
and actual, Of every important national
labor union, as displayed in many rep
resentative localities. In word, the
basis OF economic induction must
henceforth be, to much greater de-
gree than heretofore, qualitative data.
