This wasn't Corbett's fault. He made

Boston Is sure 20 take n brace again
the coming season under Jimmie Collins
who will be given full charge OF the team
from first to last and make a supreme'
effort to put the cX-champiohs In their

Boston has picked MP enough Of young

Washington will play more consistent

Pittsburg Looms Up Strong.
In the national League Pittsburg looks
stronger than last season and will be
the club to give the Giants battle for
first honors. I can't see how the Giants
can be stopped this season. Pttsburg
has fighting chance, and Will slip In

Philadelphia and Chicago are pretty

Quakers arc not as strong on paper, but

A Significant Choice.

A significance undeTlies the resig-
nation from Congress of Representa-
tive Newton w Gilbert of Indiana to
accept appointment to the bench of
the Federal court in the Philippines.
which is not likely to receive the at
tentiOn it merits.
For Mr.. Gilbert represents nearly
all the qualities which distinguish the
recently awakened American citizen.
He is a college man and a successful
lawyer. He has made himself an
Independent political force in his own
district. He has been trained for
practical service in Congress by
terms as State senator and State
lieutenant governor. Though elected
from a district normally doubtful his
reelection was regarded as assured.
Vet this man. in the course of his
first term. relinquishes membership
IN the House of Representative for
judgeship in the Philippines. The
explanation Is that, in his judgment.
the opportunities open to able men in
those Islands are very great This,
Notwithstanding that AIr. Gilbert is
at the head of the bar at Fort WAYNE.
has received the most acceptable COM
mfttee appointments. and could rea-
sonably look forward TO growing use
iulness and influence in the House.
The decision has the more signifi-
canoe because Mr.. Gilbert is deciding
IN the light Of personal knowledge OF
the Philippines. He has been there.
As member of the Taft party he
touched the insular administration at
all its points. He knows its needs.
And he must regard the rewards open
10 American citizens who can meet
those needs as high inaeed to give I'd
for them a seat in Congress.
Other men have gone to Manila
under seeming protest. Mr.. Gilbert
is going there because he believes in
the future of the archipelago. His
career may we'll be, therefore, an
object lesson of no little Importance
to the whole country.

AMERICANS IN ROME TAXED
ON BASIS OF SOCIAL DISPLAY

ROME, Iarch lathe American col
ony IN Rome is much annoyed over a
vcNaticus municipal tax levied upon res
identS in the capital The tax is not as
sessed on any actual return Of income.
but is assessed entirely on external
symptoms of the wealth of each in
habitant
An illustration OF the absurdity of the
practices Of local assessors is found in
the fact that the tax agents scan the
local society papers, and woe be unto
those who communicate 10 editors ac-
counts of their balls and dinners. The
local assessors are said to consider this
Il sufficient reason for starting out in
the search Of more concealed wealth -
One American lady jokingly remarked
and the JOKE has been passed along
throughout the American colony, that
taxation ia Rome was based upon the
number of newspaper paragraphs which
the individual taxpayer received during
the year

worthy of trial. Friends at court.
even in China, cannot fail TO be of
decided benefit. They would at least
aid in protecting American citizens
resident in China.
But might not these invading
Chinese students learn too much ?
Suppose they were to wander beyond
the 'clOistered. shades of learning.
out into the business world, and be-
come imbued with the "Machiavel-
liam spirit" proclaimed as rampant
in American commercial activities
In that event, seeing the efficacy OF
the policy of 'freeZe-out" and re-
prisal, they might forget the princi-
pies of moral philosophy taught them
by brOadminded educators. Some of
our native college graduates have so
forgotten.
Or, these Chinese scholars might
wander into the political arena and
study at first hand the business of
government Suppose they came TO
Congress. Suppose they observed the
Senate of the United States disre-
garding the prayers of the Filipinos
and smothering the Philippine tariff
bill. Of course. it might make these
Chinese students more content with
our treatment of their countrymen,
but would it tend to make them any
more favorable to this nation once
they were at home and engaged in
playing the international game?
These benevolent assimilators of our
own make might then go so far as to
countenance such an ubiquitous policy
as boycott on American goods. But
possibly President James intends to
confine these Chinese students TO the
college yard.
The Washington times., 1906-03-13
Do You Want Manufactures ?

A new force has been given lately
to the old suggestion that Washing
ton should exert herself TO estab-
lish manufactures within the boT-
ders of the District OF Columbia and
along the near banks of the Potomac
river The Board of Trade, hitherto
inactive and apparently uninterested,
has twice discussed the matter with
something more than earnestness. It's
committee on manufacturing and
commerce is now engaged on full
report. which must cover, if it full
fills the direction of the board, the
whole subject and include a working
plan for the encouragement of such
industries
Manifestly the Board of Trade is
divided. II is clear that every OrganI-
cation OF citizens in the District of
Columbia would divide likewise. For,
while everyone IN the community
accepts the contention that the field
of employment now open to the
and that manufactures would widen
II. there is in every neighborhood.
and particularly in Congress, a strong
objection TO converting the Capital
from a community of residences to one
Of business.
In the end the decision will rest
with the Senate and House. But the
views of the people of Washington,
of those who must live without the
manufactures or with them. may
be expected 10 have weight with Con
gTess while it considers the question.
In that light, it is essential the
community should make up its mind
out OF as much knowledge as it can
obtain. Wherefore The Times pro-
pounds to each of its readers these
questions, in the hope that the con-
siGer2tion Of them Will help to crys-
tallize public opinion:
/ Are you in favor Of the estab-
hshment Of general manufactures in
the District of Columbia?
, Are you in favor Of establishing
what are known as Tight manufac-
tories in the District of Columbia?
j. Should such manufactures. if !
established, be limited TO particular
areas or localities?
t. Would you make concessions in
the form of decreased taxes for a
number of years, or the repeal of the
smoke law. or in any other form to
encourage manufacturers to remove
their plants to the District of Co
Iumbia?
These questions are not easy TO an /
swer. They require a full realization
OF the present need for more oppor- /
tunity Of employment and the future
prospect of more trade and business
conditions instead of the conditions !
which now make Washington a city
Of homes and of nothing else. But
1t IS inconceivable that any citizen .
can reach any just opinion in this /
matter without considering it from .
every one of these points of view.

American-Made ASSimiIatOrS.

The Chinaman continues in the
foreground, This fact is emphasized
by the visit to Washington Of the i'm
perial Chinese commissioners. en-
route to investigate political condi-
lions in England, France, and Bel
GUM; also by the announced recall
Of the Chinese minister, which is
regarded as a fortunate happening
for American interests in China.
Educated in America, where he has
long lived, in his coming service in
the Chinese foreign Office. Sir Chen
tung Liang-Chens is expected to be
influential in promoting friendly re
latiOns with the United States.
This expectation, freely expressed
in Official circles, brings into promi-
hence the plan looking to the estab-
hshment of closer relations between
China and the United States which
originated with Dr.. Edmund J.
James. president of the University
of Illinois. President James proposes
TO send to China a commission COM
posed of brOadminded educators, who
would extol the advantages of col
1egiate training in America and urge
Chinese students to matriculate in
our colleges and universities.
1T is believed" says President
James, that by u very small effort
the good will of the Chinese may now
be won over in a large and satisfac-
tory way. We may not admit the
Chinese laborer, but we can treat the
Chinese student decently and extend
to him the facilities Of our institu-
lions of learning. Our colleges and
universities are today far better
adapted for giving the average
Chinese student what he desires in
the way of European civilization than
the schools and colleges of any En-
ropean country. We need but to
bring these facts to their attention
In order TO secure their attendance
here, with all the beneficial results
which would flow from such an OPP
pOrtunity to influence the entire cur
rent of their thoughts and feelings. .

ready noted in these coIumns-is we'll
