GOVERNMENT AND RAmROAps.


 From all sections of the country, North, East, south and West, come like complaints of ear shortage and consequent~ Freight congestion, for one naturally goes with the other The enormous crops in many sections are in danger of bslhE spoiled because cars cannot be found to move them. In the cold North and Northwest there is suf- fering already ana liabIe to be much more, because there are no cars to haul coal and wood, IL is imma terial what causes these conditions, or whether there is blame attaching anywhere, but one curious and significant result is thus alluded to by The Hartford Times:
 Mir Roosevelt is reported to have a new idea. lt Is to have Congress pre- road managers of the country. He is understood to have instructed the h. terstate Commerce Commission to in- vestigate the railway ear shortage in the Northwest. At the same time he is preparing a message urging Congress to authorize the Commission to seize and operate any railroad whose man. the necessities of fife to the people wHo reside along sucR railroads.
 This repoTt-and 1t is not an idle one --leads The Times to remark with some sarcasm and much truth:
 No doubt the situation in the North. west is especially strenuous and nee- essitous at the present time. But if the railways are to be seized whenever there are not ears enough 10 do all the business that is offered, 1t is evident that all cur main lines may be liable to go into the hands of Government of ficers whenever period of prosperity the Springfield papers a pretty strong case could he made out for the seizure of the Boston and Albany Railroad al the present time that line having al- together failed to afford it's patrons the transportation facilities which they re- uulre Nobody In New York city, We suppose, will object to the proposition that the management Of the Grand Central station ought to be taken away from the New York Central officials and entrusted to the agents of MT. Roosevelt It is quite needless to give how much better the Government could do the business than the railroad man. agers do it, now The fact that the latter, haxe more business than they can hapdle Us. evident. and 1t only remains tG enact a law making 1t a criminal offensk for any man to have more bus iness than he can properly attend to in order to effect great ster forward in human progress.
 curious phase of this condition, as VIC lsarn from New York newspapers and one which is significant of the change of sentiment in this country is that something like general appea has been made tc the national Govern ment "to compel the railroads 10 sup ply the necessities of life promptly Does any one suppose that such ar appeal would have been made 10 any previous administration The people ot this country are fast being led to look on this az a strictly ,psternal govern m6ht which can ana VIII correct al wrongs and take charge Of the peo ples interests and supply all theil

 President Roosevelt wants Congress to pass bill oonferring oR hint as commander- in-ehief the absolute pow or to remove and discharge at his dis erection commissioned officer of the army. Of this recommendation The New Orleans Item says:
 During MT. RooseveIt's adm!nistra- tion there has already enough been done towards eliminating ali esprit de corps. wfole-heartedness and enthusi- asm which formerly existed, and which should always pervade every army es- tablishment, and to discourage sense of pride in the service; and this has natually resulted from kae exercising tty, by undply promoting junior officers over the heads Of their equally. quail fled seniors. and advancing a large nunber of Inferior rank and ordinary capacity to the grade of general in or. der to retire them on largely Increased pay.
 We can we'll believe that Congress Will be very slow to comply with such a demand. especially during Roosevelt's term of service. Give him another four years of such law as that tS back him. and the army would be of1cered entirely by his favorites. No such dangerous pruning knife win be en- trusted to Theodore.

conditions and facts which would
interrupt the friendly relations be-
tween the two nations. There is
no objection here to the presence
of any number of Japanese stu
dents, merchants, travellers, and
financiers No other classes of
Americans desire to go to Japan.
We are in position to demand of
Japan that she shall give to Ameri-
cans of those classes the same per-
feet freedom in Japan and its de-
tendencies which the Japanese OF
those classes enjoy in the United
States.
At present there is no such free
dom to our people. We are in po-
sition, either with or without the
consent of Japan, to exclude the
classes who live by manual labor.
Japan is at perfect liberty to exclude
American laborcrs from that coun-
try. We desire to continue or
friendly terms with Japan, both for
sentimental and commercial reasons.
There is but one way to do it,
and that is to keep Japanese man
ual laborers out of the country.
Our workingmen will never bother
Japan. AS for giving up our civ
ilization for that of Japan, which
must follow the free admission Of
Japanese coolies, we won't do it,
and the Japanese and the United
States governments combined car
not make us do it.

MATTER OF TAXING WEALTH
is BEING DISCUSSED

Washington, Oct. 24-It has now
been definitely stated in official cir
eles that the idea which originated
with President Roosevelt OF placing
tax on accumulated wealth has
taken a very practical shape and that
at the next session of congress the
matter will be introduced. Mention,
however, should be made OF the fact
that it is not the idea of the presi-
dent to have the matter finally de-
cided at the next session of congress
which will last only three months
but he has always found It good pol
icy to bring such reforms to the atten-
tion of the country in a short session
so as to arouse discussion and
generate public opinion for use in the
long session of the following congress
Another important matter congrebs
has to consider at the next setting is
the federal licensing of corporations,
but 1t has now been settled that 1t is
to the fortune tax that the president
will devote most of his attention.

TO PRESERVE THE FALLS

milwaukee,, Wis, Oct. 24.-At a.
very largely attended convention OF

today the campaign waged by the as
sociation for the preservation of Nj
agara Falls was continued with great
zest. Mr.. J. Horace Mcfarland, the
president of the association, an
nounced that the large commercial
interests which had been making such
free use of the water power afforded
ly the falls, fought hard for their al
legged rights, but the power OF tie
aroused public sentiment was too hard
for them. President Roosevelt had
given the association cordial co-opera
tion in its fight and valued assistance
was rendered by Congressman Bur-
ton of Ohio; chairman of the rivers
and harbors committee of the house
of representatives, and in recognition
of their services both gentlemen men,
toned had been made life members
of the association. The Hon. Henry
Mcfarland, one Of the commissioners
OF the District of Columbia, discussed
"Our National capital, and the ques-
tion of the Appalachian reservations
was also considered The diversity
of interests covered by the associa-
tion was well indicated by the mat
ters which formed subjects for dis
cussion at the convention There
were reports on women's outdoor
league, arts and crafts. children's gar
dens, city making, libraries, public
nuisance, parks and public reserva-
tions, railroad Improvement, rural inn
provement, school extension and So
cial settlement.
