to the F'ilipinos that he hoped to visit
them again in two years, "but then +

zen" What does this mean? Has
the Secretary Of War come to the con-
5clusion that the President has not
power enough to secure the formers
nomination, or does it mean that Taft
expects Roosevelt to take the nomina
tfon himself. or does 1t mean that the
Secretary thinks that the next Presi-

1t is now urged that the pure food
laws are responsible for the high
of such a. charge is apparent That
such a charge is not true is proven by
the fact that only small proportion
of food stuff is now subject to federal
inspection. Outside Of meats there is
practically no federal supervision,
while state pure food laws apply
only to certain lines of products and
some states have no laws of any con-
sequence on the subject.

FATHER RIckAsy ON SOCIALISM
Vieiousness Of Modern Dogma Strongly
Pointed Out.


Pointed Out.
One does not engage in the study Of
Socialism long before we discover GER
tain antagonisns between it and Cath
olicity. We meet them in the philo-
sophical conceptions underlying So
cialist theory, in the fundamental de-
mands of Socialism. in the terms in
which the Socialist program is advo-
Gated. and in the policy Of it's leaders
and advocates, as expressed in their
writings and speeches. writes Father
Rickaby to the London Tablet.
One finds in all Socialist propaganda
two large assumptions, viz that COL
lectivist organization Of Soaiety is pos
sible and that such an organization
would render impossible all the evils
that exist and are alleged to be due
to the present system. But, confidently
as these assumptions are made, there
is very little effort made to justify
them by the setting forth of any de-
finite conception of the conditions un-
der which the New Society would func-
tion. The commonest answer of So
cialist authorities to such difficulties
as presented themselves to them when
once the problem raised by production
and distribution and the like are faced
is of the 'solvitur ambulando" type.
Give us the new conditions and the
difficulties will settle themselves is the
gist Of much of their reply. However,
from the definite attempts Of some, and
the partial sketches Of others of the
Socialist spectators who have written
on this side Of the question, we can
find enough material to offer a quite
definite criticism on the problems in
herent to a collcctivist organization,
which is impossible.
Granting. however. the esta tablishment
of collectivist society. the difficulties
associated with internal orsaniza tion
are to be considered. How is produce
ton to be determined and regulated
as regards the amount and variety OF
articles required not only for home
consumption. but for exchange abroad?
How is the element Of international
competition, which would produce the
same results as now, to be kept out?
Then arises the problem Of the insti-
tuition Of labor SO as to ensure the
regular suppl yof things required: the
provision Of the various kinds of labor
needed: the distribution Of products
themselves. BY what methods and on
what basis will they take place. Ac.
cording to work done, tn labor time
given. or according to need?
After this comes the important ou..-
ton of the occupations of the citizens.
How will they be determined? II by
the choice Of the individual how will
regular production be organised and
regulated? II. on the other hand. oc.

Perhaps Captains of Industry owe
their great success to the fact that
each one is at least two persons. John
D. Rockefeller is a. great promoter of
churches and colleges and is said to be
real nice old man at home, vet the
great majority of the American people
look upon him as a financial tyrant.
They say e. H. Hartman in his private
life OCCASIONALLY looks pleasant and
sometimes talks with friends. In the
business world he is known as a man
who Is so busy looting railroads that
he hasn't time for anything else. The
other. day a friend of Mr.. Thomas F.
Ryan undertook in the New York World
to tell the people about the simplicity
and goodness of that gentleman. The
people know more about Ryan in con-
nection with the looting Of the Metro
politan Traction Co. of New York and
the manipulation of the funds of the
great life insurance companies. II

ated into their component parts. we
might look up to the one individual as

PLENTY or AMMUNITION
Negro Soldiers at Brownsville Could
Easily Have Obtained It.
ouartermaster General Says No Close
Check IL Kept on Shells Fur
nlshed for Taget Practice.

Washington, March 14.--When the
26th infantry was transferred from
Brownsville, Tex, to make room FOR
the negro soldiers Of the 2Bth infantry
the white soldiers left behind many
suits Of cast-off khaki uniform and
Shells, cartridges and bandoliers ~
ing about loose In storehouses and
barracks.
This important testimony was CIV
en- Wednesday before the senate COM
mittee on military affairs by Row
land Osborne, the white post quarter
master general at Fort Brown dur
ing the occupation Of the fort by both
the 26th and 2bth infantry. Osborne
did nothing concerning the loose am
munition and clothing except to take
40 rounds Of Krag-Jorgensen car
tridges which he still has at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas. His recollection was
that all OF the ammunition which he
saw at Fort Brown after the depart
ure Of the 26th was Krag-Jorgensen
ammunition, but he could not state
positively that there were no Spring
field cartridges left behind.
On cross-examination he said 1t was
a very simple matter for soldiers to
get extra ammunition as when they
were on the range for preliminary
proctice or target shooting other than
competition shooting close check was
not made Of the actual number Of
shots fired by soldiers. The soldiers
were expected to turn back the shells
not used, but there was no way to be
sure that they had done 30. Osborne
was still on the stand whom the noon
recess was taken.
Captain B. ]. Edgar, Jr., who was as
sistant surgeon at Fort Brown, with
the 26th infantry until July 5. 1906,
told Of the hostility Of the people Of
Of Brownsville to the coming Of ne
gro troops and of attending injured
soldiers who had been attacked by
people Of the town. He corroborated
other white officers in their state
ments that the citizens, with few ex-
ceptons, were Of character not de-
sired as associates for refined people.

interior Friday issued an order 70
Commissioner Bellinger Of the general
land office, Intended to expedite to the
utmost the issuance OF patents to 3d.
900 entrymen whose applications have
accumulated In the general land OFFICE
The order Is based on President Roose'
yelt's recent action making easier tne
process Of proving up" under the
law. It directs the commissioner OF
the land office, TO take up for ac-
ton all locations, selections and en-
tries upon which final certificate has
been issued and II the proof is found
regular and complete, and there is no
pending protest or objection, the same
will be passed to patent in the regular
order"
1.-THE local officers" continues the
order, "will proceed in accordance
with the circular Of December 7, 1905,
governing the manner Of giving mo-
tice Of final proofs and the action TAX
en- thereon. You will furnish them
maps defining the mineral areas with
in their respective districts as soon
as they are provided by the geologt
cal survey.
"You will instruct local officers that
II is equally their duty to facilitate
the issuance Of final certificates to
bona fide settlers, as to guard the In
terests Of the public and the govern
ment in preventing illegal entries and
that in the performance Of their du-
ties. they will be held to strict account
for the exercise Of sound discretion
and good Judgment. 1t is expected
that registers and receivers In their
respective districts will obtain knowl-
edge Of the general character and
quality Of the public land over which
their Jurisdiction extends, and In the
disposition Of cases before these off,
GERS, they should make use Of such
knowledge, either in aiding the entry
men or in preventing an illegal entry,
as the case may be.
In discussing the order Secretary
Garfield said:
"This order is one Of unusual I'M
portance to the citizens Of the public
land states, involving as It does about
10000 entries and large number OF
locations and selections which have
accumulated in the general land or
flee pending examination before the
issuance OF patents. Included in these
are about 10000 homesteads, 1000 tim
Der and stone and other cash entries
made under specific laws, 1000 desert
land and 500 mineral entries.
because of the failure Of congress
to provide an additional appropriation
for the necessary field inspections.
the work can not proceed as rapidly a.
desired, but the force and means now
available will be used to the utmost
limit to expedite the patenting Of
lands where the entrymen have com
piled with the law In good faith"
