FRIENDS OF YALn.

Both the Academic and Scientific departments of Yale University are very much at this time in the hearts of generous people. The former has unexpectedly been made the bene- ficiary of handsome English estate amounting to nearly a half million and the latter has been given a new recitation building which will cost $150,O00.
 There is much mystery connected with the English gift So far as any body knows, he has never seen Yalo nor has he had any relation with it. He was known as man who cared little or nothing for his blood relatives and had no other use for the money he accumulated than to let it pile up This is scarcely a training for the consideration of any educational in stitution as a possible beneficiary for such men rarely think of what is to become of what has cost them so much to get together. The mere thought is pain to them. Is it not pos sible, therefore, that somewhere and at some time he came into personal contact with a son of Yale whose amiabillty or astuteness so impressed him that when he came to face the inevitable his influence was distinctly felt? Is there any other conceivable explanation?
 The instinct which prompted the gift of a recitation hall to the Shef. field Scientific School is understood. The parents of the young student who was killed in June as result of an auto accident desire to show their appreciation of his life here while they erect memorial to their boy It was the same instinct which led MT. Van derbilt to erect the beautiful dormi- tory which bears the family name on the old campus

4 CURIOUS CITY SCHEME.

The. United States Steel corpora ton is building a city on the shore of Lake Michigan, and it feels sure that it will be able to populate it with a mixed but industrious population. Another kind of city-making is in the works in West Virginia, where a city is to be established exclusively for ne- groes. Its projectors believe that the scheme will find such favor among the colored people that in a short time they will have a city of several thousand population without a white person among them. Eight miles from Charleston is the West Virginia Col ored Institute, an institution for the higher education of the negro. It is maintained by the State. The former State tax commissioner, c. w. Dill lon, has purchased some five hundred acres adjoining the colored institute, and is having it cut up into city prop erty, grading streets, laying cement walks, and providing a water supply and lights In addition, he is provid- ing for a large city park He will re- fuse to sell lot in this new town to any but a negro, and with the dis tinct understanding that no white man is to be allowed to live within it's precincts. It is believed that the negroes will take to the idea kindly, as the place is near enough to Charleston to allow them r. retain their positions there.
 It wouldn't be a bit surprising if this scheme should fail, and perhaps it ought to. Such a city wouldn't do anything to help solve the race prob- lem and it might add to it's trouble

THE sM4ETJ1PtYtsE.

When the war between Russia and Japan broke out 1t was discovered that smart Japanese had been quietly living in Russia and studying every thing that 1t would be for the advan- tage of their government to know about Now there is talk, especially in Washington, that smart Japanese are doing the same thing in this coun- try Some concern is expressed by United States military authorities at the large number of Japanese immi- rants coming to this country with close association with the Japanese army. It is no exaggeration to say that fully fifty per cent. of the Jap anese who have been deported within the last three months are known to have. seen service with the Mlkado's troops. Of course, this may be only singular coincidence. Some of the more apprehensive officials at Wash ington, however, prefer to take the view that there may be something sinister in the persistent efforts of Japanese military men to gain en- trance into the United States. In some cases no attempt is made to conceal the fact that the new arrivals are veterans of the Russo Japanese war. 1 They wear ragged regimentals and other relics of the hard campaign of two years ago Others, however, have nothing about their appearance to in- dicate that they are army men. They wear the usual plain, civilian garb ,of the impoverished Jap, and it is only by chance that the immigration off, cials discover their former occupa- | ton.
 It Is known that the Japanese gov- ernment is industriously engaged in seeking military information, not only Ill Luc bHilcu DllJeSt but NNAy SNitVA ally all over the globe. A representa- tive of our government who recently returned from Venezuela, ran across couple of Japanese attaches there who were busily plotting the harbors and defense works of that country. They made no effort to conceal their purpose, and one Of them frankly admitted that brother officers were doing the same kind of work in other parts of the world Very likely, and 1t is also very likely that they will succeed in getting what information they want in this country

the problems of which we have heard so much are to be more attributed to disregard of the fundamental law of the land than to twentieth century ideals and demands. Tn the estima- ton of many sound lawyers and ex- perienced publicists the old constitu- ton is performing it's best work by making impossible of enforcement ex- perimental philosophies which are bred in the disorderly minds of un- skilled students of politics. It is still possible to amend the fundamental law, which may do for the time. At any rate President James has done his duty as he sees it.

CUTTING THEM DoWN SoMr.

Brevity is said to be the soul of wit, and perhaps it is, but it is not the soul of the messages of presidents, governors and mayors nor of the ar guments of learned and distinguished counsel. It appears that the fact that there has been too much lawyer-talk in Canada has been recognized there, and that Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, chief justice of Canada, and the other members of the supreme court of the Dominion, have just inaugurated a reform They have decided that save by special leave of the court, to be granted in exceptional instances, the speeches of counsel are to be re- stricted from henceforth to maxi mum of three hours.
 Encouraging. If three hours is not long enough for any man to talk 1t is long enough for any man to have to listen If this meritoNous reform goes in Canada, and we sincerely hope 1t will, 1t should be pushed in this coun- try. It is one of the needed reforms. Words, idle words, and busy words, are too many Many use words as if they were of no value and in so do- ing succeed in taking the value out of them.

Taxation of Railroads in south Carolina

Charleston News and Courier)
 The opportunity of South Carolina is great but it is not to be advanced or improved by discriminations against the railroads or other large corporate interests in the State. Only a few days ago the announcement was made that the assessments of railroad prop erty in South Carolina had been in creased for tho present year by more than $Ii, coo, 900. We do not believe this is a fair assessment relatively to the assessments placed upon the taxa ble property in the State. We do not believe, whatever their sins of omis- sion or commission, that the railroads shculd be overtaxed. Only a day or so ago the announcement was also made that the Southern railroad had ean- celled orders calling for. the expehd- iture of S15,0O0,00 In the improvement of it's lines in the South, becatse of the hostility with which this system is being pursued in 8 number of the southern States. We protest against inequality in the treatment of the tax payers. We stand by the clear man. date of our own constitution that there

COSTLY PATERNALISlr.

Though the United States govern ment is so paternal that it comes to the relief of Wall street whenever re- lief is necessary" it is not yet as pa- ternal as the government of Sac Paulo, a Brazilian State. That gov- ernment adopted the plan of buying up a lot of coffee from the enormous crop fin order to regulate the posi- ton of the different markets" and to distribute it only as the require ments of consumption demand, at prices that will guarantee the advan- tages which it is the object of the government to secure to planters.

The great storm of red dust that not long ago swept up from Africa over Europe performed service for which men of science are most grate~ full by coloring the glaciers of the Alps on a grand scale, and thus pro- ducing stratum on the vast ice streams the red hue of which will render it recognizable for years. The importance of this consists in the fact that by noting the position of the dust-stained layers the movements of the glaciers can be studied more ac- curately than would be possible with out marking.

The Picture Post Card.

(The Ohio State Jourpal)
 The fact is that to the average trav- eler and his friends the picture post card is joy aud time-saver. The fact that it is gradually dlsplaclng the long, laborious travel-letter Is really in its favor; for although a few travel-letters have been distinct blessings, 1t is easy to recall plenty more that were not. To receive a long, closely written epis- tie crowded with 0 detailed descrip- tion down to exact statistics Is not a boon to the person who Is too busy to take a vacation. On the other hand, the receipt of a card decorated with the place of sojourn in colors is Dleas~ ant reminder of the absent friends and gives one quite enough information about the place he Is staying. It also saves the traveller a vast amount of time and gives him quite as much re- lief and satisfaction as if he had writ ten volume of his travels.

4 CHANGE FOR WESTERN wo1rEs

Perhaps the animals feel obliged to justify the "nature-fakers" who have exhibited faith in their ability to act almost or quite like human beings, Anyhow, they are acting as if the devil were in them. One of the lat est is that wolves in Colorado are raiding melon patches and eating the best melons.
 We don't know why wolves shouldn't like melons, especially the Rocky Ford kind, There is a cat in New Haven that eats all he can get of them, and would not hesitate to steal them any more than the Col orado wolves do. There is nothing surprising about the wolf-story But if the western wolves will take to eating copper and thus reduce the supply which eastern bears are now making so much of they will not only surprise but please.
