JAP CONTROL IN MANcHURIA,
Railroad to Be Exclusively in Hands
of Mikado's Subjects.

Dispatches from Toxic declare that
the bonds of the South Manchurian
railroad have been oversubscribed
many times but that there were no
Chinese applications. Explaining this
fact, the Pekin correspondent of the
London Times says that although
China was invited to participate she
did not do so because there were no
funds available for the investment and
none could be had without recourse to
foreign loan, which policy and the
fear of foreign complications forbade.
The railroad, therefore, the CORE
spondent says, although nominally
China7Japanese, will be exclusively
Japanese and gives Japan effective
control over southern Manchuria.

Has Scheme to Keep Down the Vicious
Blacks.

Blacks.
In speech on the race problem de-
livered recently Senator B. R. Tillman
declared that the time had come when
the south must act, and suggested the
adoption of European passport sys-
tenn by which each person must have
a certificate of good character before
removing from a residence or home,
or before being received into new
section, and that any person without
such certificates be imprisoned.
This, he admitted, would be placing
great inconvenience on the whites,
who would have to be included in the
law because Of the 18th amendment,
but he declared that II the plan or
some peaceable one was not adopted
Immediately the country surely was
rushing toward the brink of an abyss
which means a horrible and bloody
race war of determination.

Foreign Trade a DeIuslon.

"The costliest error will be in cling
ing to the delusion that we are to con-
tinue to increase our exports and to
live upon the profits of the foreign
market.
Money invested in railways expects
fair return on the investment, and
also expects the same measure of pro-
lection before the law that is accord
ed to other property. The enormous
pressure of masses of people seem to
crush out the hope and energy and
prosperity of large proportion Of
them, and the great problem Of mod
ern progress, after all, is how to deal
with this tendency; how to prevent
the forces Of advancing social evolu-
ton from being destructive as well as
creative. This is the problem Of the
nation, exactly stated, and it is in a
special sense the problem of the north
west"

1.-THE irrigation of lands by the gen.

but when all the present plans are
completed, they will furnish land for
fewer than 100000 small farms Of 40
acres each, or for a population of
seven or eight million people. Our

plotted with a lavish hand. Our ex-

Our iron and coal supply will begin to
show signs of exhaustion before so
years have passed. The former at the
present rate of increasing the produc-
ton, will be greatly reduced. Our for
ests are rapidly going, our vast supply
of mineral oil flows to the ends of the
earth. We can not continue to sup
ply the whole world and recruit our
own resources by the methods of trade
that now obtain because the minerals
stored in the ground do not recreate
themselves. Once used they are gone
forever. We shall, with these coming
millions to provide for, be thrown
back upon the soil, the only resource
of mankind that it capable of infinite
renewal and that offers life for gen.

department. Of commerce and labor is
bound to conduct any investigation
upon the demand of either house Of
congress. It is not necessary to have
even a joint resolution, but simple
house resolution will do. The depart
ment of commerce thereupon is bound
to 90 to work. After the investigation
is concluded the president may with
hold its results, at his discretion, but
even he has no authority to veto. a
house resolution requesting information
from any government department.
Furthermore, such resolution when
once introduced, is under the rules of
the house, privileged. That is to say,
the member who offers it, whether re-
publican or democrat, has an unques-
