the Milwaukee is seeking an arrange

cious minerals, and coal and copper
In abundance.

state of Idaho; these will be so util-
ized during the next two years as to

in England within year. The inter.
change of visits between French and
British workingmen was a phase OF
1t, as as the fraternizing of schoolboys
from either side of the channel. Very
recently French university fellows
were welcomed as the guests of the
University of London. The institu-
ton of the Rhodes scholarships gave
q great impetus to it, In a sense the
Mosely plan is an extension of the
"sabbatical year" system under which
the more fortunately placed American
college instructors study abroad every
seventh year on full or half pay.
Such an exchange of teachers be-
tween nations is bound to be produc-
tive of heightened interest and in.
creased efficiency. Why should not
the plan be adopted here? asks the
New York World. If similar induce
ments are held out to American teach
ers TO visit Europe for study and i'm
proving travel it is likely that the
main difficulty would be to restrict
the number desiring to go. 1t should
be feasible to secure like concessions
Tor cheap transportation during the
OH season of travel and to make pro
vision for expenses. The benefit to
American teachers of educational
trips abroad under such auspices
would be inestimable. They could
VISIT the culture centers of Europe at
a most favorable time, when the tide
OF summer travel is over and the
schools are in session. They would
bring back all that Is newest In edu.
cation In Berlin. Paris and Oxford.
Or they could visit historic Athens
and Syracuse without danger to
health, which is hardly possible in
midsummer for persons of northern
strain. Pupils not less than teachers
would profit by the plan, and boards
OF education might well allow partial
pay to those undertaking such trips
for general study.

More Railroad Facilities Needed

The railway mileage in this country
is about half the total in the world. 1t
exceeds the total in Europe by about
one-quarter, yet our facilities for rail-
road transportation are still so far in
adequate to the demands on them that
the progress of business is retarded
seriously. Railroads generally are con-
gested with traffic. More tracks, loco
motives and cars are required. and it
is impossible promptly to provide the
further facilities needed to keep up
with the growing traffic. At the rate
of that increase in the last seven years
the tonnage seven years hence will be
nearly doubled. The provision of IA
cilities adequate for the transportation
of this traffic is, for this country, the
most serious problem for discussion
and settlement.

Republican Pledges.

The Republican party's pledges to
Indiana are thus succinctly set forth
by the Charlottesville Journal: "The
Republican party of Indiana through
its accredited delegates in state con-
vention assembled has solemnly
pledged itself to the enactment of a
law providing repositories for all
public funds, state, county, township
and city, and to secure to the people
all interest derived from these funds
To further protect the public from
graft the party pledges itself to pass
law requiring all state officers to
make daily settlements with the state
treasurer and also to prvide for uni
form system of bookkeeping and an
examination of all public accounts
In these specific pledges is found the
germ of legislation which in the com
ing years will save untold millions to
the people of Indiana. They signify
that the party which has run the
public business so successfully in this
commonwealth for the last ten years
is now ready to take another import
ant step in advance. 1t is inconcciv-
able that the taxpayers will refuse the
Republican party the opportunity tc
carry out these promises"

The oniv man who ever arrested
a President of the United States is
now serving as juror in the District
OF Columbia Criminal Court w. H.
West is his name and the occurrence
that made him famous happened in
this way: President Grant was fond
of horses and was frequently seen on
the roads about Washington driving
spirited animal at a lively clip.
West was mounted policeman and
was given instructions to break up
fast driving Among the first to
come under his notice for exceeding
the speed limit, was President Grant,
although West did not know it was
Grant until after he had caught up
with him and placed him under ar
rest. The President did not realize
he was driving at an excessive speed
and did not deny the charge but ac-
companied West to the station where
he was quickly released Grant ad-
mired West for doing his duty and
the two were good friends for years.
Everywhere on the streets of Wash

only man who ever arrested a Pres

The President Hits Hard.

President Roosevelt is still the
peoples champion. Accompanying
Commissioner Garheld's report OF
the investigation of the Standard Oil
and sugar trusts methods he has sent
message tcscJngress in which be
minces nothing but calls things by
their right names. The unlawful
practices of the two monopolies are
unsparingly denounced and congress
is vigorously recommended to pro-
vide remedies.
The message doubtless will have
the effect of making senators think
twice before they vote to amend the
railroad rate bill so as to destroy its
efficiency That, probably, as the
Irishman said, was 'the intintion."
President Roosevelt is in earnest
in his endeavor to break up the IL
legal practices of these cormorant
trusts; but he is no more in earnest
than are the people who are support
ing him. His suggestion that, as a
last resort, the government might
produce oil from the public domain
is doubtless intended merely as a
warning. If government ownership
ever comes, it will be solely because
government control is found impos-
sible. The latter is a bene6cieni
remedy. The former would be cure
only less evil than the malady-

The Wanderer From Indiana.

Occasionally good man grows
dissatisfied with Indiana. The milk
is too yellow or the honey too sweet
and he doesn't like them to flow over
his land anyway So he parts with
his farm, sells his live stock and 10Th
er things too numerous to mention.
and moves to Kansas There he takes
his good Indiana money and buys a
farm which today is and tomorrow is
not. Or he tries Colorado and slushes
around in the mud irrigating a strip
of bottom so narrow that COW
couldn't jump in a field because she
would jump over it.
Then he hears of Texas and goes
down to hunt the bag of gold on the
rainbow. In the daytime he scratches
sandburs out of his flesh and at night
the tarantulas nibble at his feet and
centipedes crawl over his face. When
his money is all gone he feels like
he did the first night he ever stayed
away from home.
He yearns for good old Indiana and
the yearn sticks in his throat and
chokes him until tears come 1to his
eyes. He would give a months work
to see the cows standing at the bars
on his Indiana farm and hear the
horn blow for supper.-Excbange.

Otto Weininger, who has achieved
prominence as scientist, has just
brought out book entitled Sex and
Character" in which he makes the
assertion that woman is neither good
nor bad, but purely passive. In NOR
al and intellectual life, he asserts, she
is merely the reflection of the male.
Her one desire, says the professor, is
to be taken possession of by man and
to be formed by him in accordance
with his own desires. Furthermore
he alleges that he is borne out in this
analysis by Plato and Kant and by
Christianity itself We do not pro-
pose to make any comments on or
draw ary conclusions from this scien-

very much to be present when he at
tempts to elucidate his theory for the
