TRADE CENTER or THE ORIENT.
Views and Predictions Of Ono or shc
American Merchants IN China.

To THE EDITOR or The SuN-Sir! Your
very interesting editorial In to-days BUN on
-The Trade Center OF tho Orient" recalls to
my mind an interesting Interview had with
Mr. Edward Hooper. formerly OF Boston.
Mr. Hooper had been resident OF China ano
Japan for twenty-three years. First ana
for many years associated with Messrs. nus
sell 4 Co.. large and well known merchants
at Hongkong, China, he later became inter-
ested In manu- featuring In Japan.
While journeying to visit Boston Mr.
Hooper reached Honolulu three days after
the ratification Of the treaty OF annexation OF
Hawaii. and my Interview was just prior
10 the first conflict Of Agulnaldo and his
forces with the United States soldiers In
February, 1900.
Mr.. Hooper said that some few years pre-
vious he had visited the Philippines. many
parts Of Luzon and some Of the adjacent
islands: and when asked him what the ao-
quisitlon Of the Philippines was worth to the
United States no replied that 1T would prove
the richest prize ever acquired by Unole Sam.
But he foretold the revolt that was destined
to arise and did develop. saying. however.
that II would not be Of long duration. for
once gained the Filipinos would appreciate
what had been done In their interest and
become loyal citizens. As they had never
taken part In government a9airs ana were We're
and languages. slow progress was inevitabiss s
before they became fitted for taking muGh
responsibility In the management OF PUBLIC
affairs. Many Of the Fllipin0s, however. ne
described as bright. but as there was much
ignorance there was great need OF equcation.
Mr.. Hooper thought they would deyelop
along lines somewhat like those. Of the Japa-
nese He said that the United States w9s
manufacturing e. large surplus OF goooss
In China; thatporthern China especially would
prove liberal market for woolens and other
goods, which trade had been, but little reached

The Rarey Of Railroads.

The one and only issue that stirs the
people Of Georgia to-day is stated plainly
and forcibly by the Hon. SMITH CLAYTON
of Atlanta:
"HoKR SMITH is making q fight to make the
railroads do right. He Is battling for popular
rights against corporate attng for
them In Georgia. He believes that the people
should control tho railroads and not the railroads
the people. That's the point. He believes that TO
that end these railroads should be domesticated."
The Georgia railroads must be domesti-
Gated, tanned, made to lose their present
wild and ferocious nature. Georgia
railroads must be run for and by Geor-
gians. No foreign corporation must be
allowed to own, control or manage rail-
roads that run in or through the State.
1t may be little inconvenient to change
cars at the State line but that Is nothing
by the side Of question Of principle
and right. The Hon. HoKE SMITH has
raised the question, and he is supported
by "a whopping majority" Of the prom
inent people of Polk county and all the
other prominent counties.
NIldI dTc tuc cIlcIIilcS vi IclOIIu, luClu-
ding, We regret to say, the Hon. CLARK
HOWELL, what are they doing? Do
they meet this issue fairly? No. they are
quibbling and jeering. They are trying
to defeat Mr.. SMITH by harping upon
the barroom OF the Piedmont Hotel. of
which he is one Of the proprietors. One
would think that the charity balls"
there sold we're deadly ammunition
against Mr. SMITH, who nobly gives his
share of the profits to charity. The Wash
ington Reporter expresses the sentiments
Of fairminded men as to this Pecksniffian
treatment of Mr.. SMITHS liberal and
liquid beneAcence:
ave are no apologist for any ones bar. yet II
makes US tired TO hear the old rednosed topers
around town say they arc agin' Hoxl on account
OF the Piedmont afiair."
And who are the assaiiants Of one of
Georgia's noblest sons? The Milledoe-
rlle Neus tells us:
"A great many Of the fellows who criticize HoKE
SMITH because he has interest In q hotel inciu-
ding the bar. are members Of clubs where liquors
are sold and are either running . bar or a blind
tiger themsclvee. II no more objection than that
can be found 70 AR. SMIrH he will pass ins pection..
In vain does the Hon. Tom LoYLRss
fling his filings and sling his slngs at
the editor who "has never been able to
tell the difference between that charity

assert 'that HoKR SMITHS eloquent
tongue and the palatable Piedmont bar

Compulsory Investigation, Not Arbi-
......... tration.

VEdtlOhs
Colonel BRYAN addressed a Labor Day
picnic in Omaha, Neb., Monday, and
contributed suggestion for the settle
. ment Of disputes between employers
and employees that was more sensible
than the oft repeated cry for compulsory
arbitration. Colonel BRYAN said:
There ought to be In every CITY in every State
and In the nation permanent arbitration board
with power to investigate and report on any labor
trouble.
The compulsory Investigation Of q labor trouble
must be distinguished from tho compulsory en-
forcement OF the finding Of the board. 1t Is far
more important that the investigation shall be
compulsory when either party desires It than that
the finding shall be binding. because public opinion
will surely enforce fair and impartial finding"
The plans for compulsory arbitration
that have been advanced from time to
time have been defective in that they
provided no practical method for the
enforcement Of the awards to be made
under their operation. In specific cases
the parties in dispute might consent in
advance to be bound by the decision of
Q board Of arbitration, but no general
rule has been devised to compel such
consent. Under the present legal system
no rule could be laid down covering any
and all cases that might arise. Colonel
BRYAN wisely abstained Monday from
an attempt to formulate such a rule.
Instead, he would have compulsory
investigation, apparently with full publi-
cation OF the findings in each case. The
rest would be left to the operation Of
public opinion.
What value there is in the plan thus
outlined is question. To determine
the scope Of such Investigations might
prove perple1ing. The selection Of COM
petent investigators would offer many
difficulties. In practise it might be
found that what seems 80 simple in
theory would prove impossible Of execu-
tion, but Colonel BRYAN is right in his
estimate Of the power Of public opinion
to correct any abuse Of sufficient impor-
tance to receive its attention. This, in
fact, the leaders of the movement for
the CLOSED shop are learning, and the
strong sentiment in favor Of the open
shop manifested in many parts Of Amer
lea now Is the result OF the abuses the
unions have fostered under the guidance
Of fanatical or corrupt leaders.

when Cesar happened to see some strangers at
