THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.

Those who are predicting the estab-
lishment of Russian republic on the
ruins Of autocracy, do not seem to find
support for their view IN the daily
events. The government announces It's
determination to put down rebellion,
and as long as considerable number
OF loyal soldiers can be found. this win
be done. Count Wltte announces that,
as far as he is concerned he win take
no further step. until the representa-
tiv. assembly meets. II Is, he says, to
make that meeting possible that he will
exert himself TO the utmost to establish
order, by putting down the reds" And

fectly right. Russla'S cause should now
be champloned by constitutional means

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

While some OF our statesmen are talk
ing OF the exclusion OF Japanese from
this country, the japanese themselves
are figuring on extending their trade
into all parts OF the world. To accom-
plish this. they need at least one large
harbor, with modern facilities for hand
ling goods. According to a report by
Consul Sharp at Kobe. the japanese
regard Osaka as the coming center of
the oriental commerce. That place, they
claim, Is situated on the highway OF
the worlds commerce, and its position
Is unique as n distributing center for
China, Korea, and the South Sea Is
lands. 1t possesses within easy reach
many factories turning out articles for
export. while in the matter OF domestic
trade II covers an area, containing two
thirds of the total population OF the
country. For fuel the coal fields In

dangerous weapon 10 the hands of the

LAST YEAR AND THIS.

According to Bradstreet's review, the
past year has been one OF almost un-
precedented activity In trade, Industry
and speculation. II was n year OF rich
rewards to agriculture. Of abundance of
employment for labor. and OF very few
serious strikes. of bulldinO and con-
structlve activity In all lines; OF en-.
ormously enlarged bank clearlngs to-

ness done and the unprecedented num-

Professor T. w. Tausig OF Harvard
says. THE desire for wealth is not a
simple motive. but very complex one,
made up OF all sorts OF differing pas
slons and instincts. The several as
poets or constituent elements OF this
complex desire may be analysed under
four heads First, love OF ease and COM

third, the impulse to activity. fourth,
the passion for power and mastery"

THE PASSING OF STEAM
Kansas city Journal.

The announcement that the Pennsyl-
vania Railway company Is prepa ring TO
do away with steam engines and to use
electric motors exclusively throughout
its extensive system presages the end
OF the age of steam and the coming
triumph Of electricity. The statement
may seem startling ut first but as a
matter of fact the railroads have been
experimenting with electric engines for
some time. and their eventual use was a
foregone conclusion. Not only In the
matter of speed but In every other
respect electricity has the advantage
over steam as motive power

Mrs. Adams was not at home at the

later she went to the back door. She
sent her two little boys around to the
