THE PARLIAMENTARY REPORT.

Whether rightly or wrongly there
has always been a popular opinion in
this country that among the Russian
people there existed fierce religious
hatred of the Jewish citizens and that
this was in large degree responsible
for the terrible massacres that occur
from time to time. Reports as to the
recent slaughter of Jews at Bialystok
however have indicated that it was the
soldiers and troops that were the gull
ty ones. The report of the investigat-
ing committee appointed by the lower
house Of parliament strongly empha-
sizes the fact that there was no relig-
ious hatred of the Jews among the
peaceful Russian population and that
the rioting was directed by the police
and supported by the troops. 1t is
stated that there is overwhelming evil
dence that the outbreak was deliber-
ately prepared. 1t was claimed that
the massacre was planned in high gov
eminent circles in ST. Petersburg but
this has been denied. Deplorable. dis
graceful as it may seem, it is evident,
however, that the responsibility rests
with the government and that the
same authority and control that
stopped the fighting at a moments no
tice could have prevented it altogether.

WHERE A SMALL TOWN SCORES

Louisville Herald:-Small towns
have their drawbacks. No man need
try 1t in these vigiIant little centers
to lead double life. There are faith
full, sleepless watchers at each end Of
the line, with several sentinels along
the way, to report on, his doings, his
failures to do and his misdoings. Ev-
erything else falling, his very thoughts
are searched. The faithful videttes
conclude, from his smallest movement,
or lack Of movement, what he must have
in every circumstance meant. On re-
turn home after every absence his
friends and neighbors cross examine
him as to every detail. He had better
tell the truth, because some one will
in due course turn up to point out the
Inaccuracies In faulty narrative. In
large cities very few II indeed any
of your neighbors will worry much III
at length about your mornings or out
goings. Few, if any, outside your own
life, care for your doings while away
They are all too busy-too many peo-
pie moving backward and forward Ia
be kept track Of.
The small town has not, 1t is true
the sanatoriums and the professions
nurses of city life, nor the freedom OF
the latter from neighborly vigilance;
but it has the big city beaten to q
whisper when 1t comes to the food
supply. If Brown, the butcher, for in

COMM ERcIAL AMERICA.

The department of commerce and Ia
BOZ, has prepared statistics of the CO.
merce and commercial conditions in
the various countries in America in
1905. The total commerce Of all Amer
lea is shown to be $5,O50,027,OO0 of
which f1fty-four per cent of the imports
and fifty-seven per cent of the exports
are of the United States. Regarding
the countries south of the United
States it is shown that in those coun-
tries whose ports have shorter trans
portation routes to this country than to
Europe, the share of their imports
drawn from the United States is larger
than from any other country. In the
countries where there is not much ma
terial difference in the length of the
transportation routes the share drawn
from the United States is small The
report says:
The most easterly point of the
South American Continent, which all
steamships must pass in their routes
to and from the ports of eastern and
western South America, is much far
Their cast than the principal CONNER
cial ports of the United States The
distance which a steamship must tray
ell from that point to New York is
greater than to the principal CONNER
cial ports of northwestern Europe.
With the large supply of European
owned steamships running regularly
between South America and the ports
Of Europe, and the comparatively small
supply running to and from the ports
Of the United States, the trade of the
South American countries naturally
tends toward European ports, and this
is intensified by the fact that much
of the trade, finance and banking facil-
tiles OF South America are also in the
hands of or controlled by Europeans.
The fact that Brazil sends direct to
the United States over 100000, 900
pounds Of coffee and 35,0O0,O00 pounds
of india rubber annually; that Argen-
tina sends 40,000,00O pounds of wool
and 29,000,000 pounds Of hides; that
Chile sends 60,000,000 pounds of nj
trates, and that Brazil, Argentina and
the countries of the west coast of
South America send in addition to this
over $17,000,000 worth of miscellan-
eous merchandise suggests that the
vessels bringing this large quantity Of
merchandise should offer ample facili-
ties for direct shipments from the
United States to those countries on
the return trip. This result, however,
is not realized, since a large proper
ton Of the vessels bringing this mer-
chandise from these South American
countries to the United States take
cargoes from this country to Europe
where, after discharging those cargoes,
they reload with European merchan-

1T cannot properly be said that the
states are disappearing.
When the slender book which con-
tanned all the statutes of state hun
dred years ago Is put beside the big
volume required today 1t becomes ap-
parent that the states are legislating
about an increasing number of sub
jects. They have to enact laws con-
corning insurance corporations, the
regulation of labor in factories and
mines, and other matters which did not
concern them in their youth State
legislatures have more to do than they
used to. They work harder. 1t is the
custom to say that the men who have
seats in them are not so able as their
predecessors. but the tendency to glor-
ify the past at the expense of the pres
ent may be at work here. Fifty years
hence the state legislatures of today
may be spoken of more reverently than
they are now

DO COLLEGE STUDENTS THINK

Chicago Inter-Ocean: President
Thwlng of Western Reserve university
considers, In the current North Ameri-
can Review college Students as
Thinkers" He reaches the conclusion,
after somewhat exhaustive inquiry.
strengthened by many years of per-
sonal observation, that, as class, coll
lege students refuse to put their gray
matter to either full or a free USE
Among college students thinking, as
intellectual creativeness, does not ap-
peal to the average young man. The
superficial, really unimportant, fea-
lures Of college life appeal to the ma
jority, while the satisfactions Of schol-
arships are realized by but few.
DR.. Thwing cites five specific causes
that he believes discourage student
thinking. First, the "cramming" Of the
fitting school, made necessary by tho
demands Of the college. Second. the
increasing luxuriousness Of academic
life-a reflection Of the increasing lux
uriousness of life without college walls
tends to produce "softness of intel
lectual and ethical fiber f1abbiness, in
dolence, and a preference of the passive
graces to the active virtues" Third,
athletic affairs and glories divert at4
tention. Fourth, the elective system
permits the student to choose for him
clined- Fifth the appearance Of the
young man who expects to follow com
mercial pursuits, and who takes COL
lege course for general reasons--the
life the social, athletic and literary
features-rather than with any inclin
alton or intention OF devoting his time
to hard or high thinking.
These causes unquestionably exist
and are potent. With all it's popularity
to aft <N~ j,1,t
ly or too cheaply viewed by many
young men. The son OF wealth takes
1t because it is "the thing" and "the
other fellows" are to take it. The
youth Of more serious motives and
higher ambitions too often works al
ways with one eye on the outside
world and it's material successes He
favors the tabloid form in learning, be-
cause it is more easily bolted. Both
these young men read and study SUI
perficially and think but little.
However, in large measure DR..
Thwing's criticism Is the one that age
has ever made and will ever make up
ON youth. 1t is unfortunate, perhaps,
but 1t is inevitable that the seriousness
OF life, and Its greater possibilities, in
or out Of college, cannot be made to
appear as they are to the average full
blooded young man. Only the retro
spective survey proves to man the
little he has made Of his life.
It is the nature given spirit of youth
full optimism which annually plays
havoc with the plans and desires of Sc
rious educators. And it will not be
conquered until the increasing number
of college men in the competitive
struggle for positions makes scholar
ship not only a fashion, but requisite
Of success as well.

sTATEs NOT DISAPPEARING.

A number of men profess to be
greatly alarmed at what they term the
drift in the direction of a centralized
government, that the national govern
ment is steadily stripping the states
of power. The Chicago Tribune thinks
that the opinion that congress is
usurping the power Of the states Is a
mistaken one and commenting upon
the statement of Justice Brewer to the
effect that the states are disappearing,
says
ITO a certain extent this is true.
There is in progress readjustment OF
functions or duties which is expanding
the sphere of action of the national
government AS time goes on it be-
comes apparent that some things
which have been done poorly by the
state can be done more efficiently by
the nation. The protection of the coun-
try against such epidemics as yellow
fever is one of them. That can be bet.
ter attended to by one authority than
by number of discordant authorities.
The action Of congress regarding quar-.
antine Is evidence of good sense and
not purely of centralizing tendency.
"The states should be willing to
transfer to the nation duties it is bet
ter qualified to perform. They will
have more than enough left to keep
them busy. They retain. jurisdiction
over most of the affairs of their citi
zens. State laws regulate marriage
and divorce and the ownership and
transfer of property. Usually it is in
state court that a man seeks justice
or is brought to justice. The subjects
of prime Importance which the states
have had from the beginning remain
to them. So long as that is the case

We have caught them at their steal.

We will make them beg for mercy al

Oh, day of wrath is coming for the
gorged and gouging scamps,
And We'll go marching oni
We will read this gospel to them as In
fear at last they kneel:
I'VE have dealt with us unfairly. but
in fairness we will deal;
We have felt your foul oppression. sim

While we go marching on
We have started forth to battle, we

We intend to lift the goddess back up

Oh, ye sinners heed the warning, We

AS we go marching on!

And make shameful faces at us from

But you may be fooled yea. even az
