There ought to be some consolation to depositors of the bankrupt bank that the Oregon Trust company's mot to was: We pay per cent We hope SO; and more.-Portland Oreg- onian.
 We trust that when, during the cruise to the Pacific, our commanding officers reach the age of retirement they will not be dropped overheard 1 by their younger ali more sprigntly cuccessors.-ChicGso News.
 American money is now passing over into Mexico, exactly as European investors formerly sent their money to develop our resources. The war on capital is sending capital outside our territory and setting up a rival in business at the sametime.-Jackson- vile Times-Union.

 To assume that most of the peo- pie will always desire hubbub and change-redicalis alism-is to assume that the American people have sud- denly lost their most characteristic quality. That they have ever desired destructive radicalism has been dis proved many times.-New York Globe
 We observe the persistency of the report that MT Roosevelt has made some sort of an agreement with the Emperor William whereby the integ- rity of our Atlantic seaboard is to be guaranteed by German war fleet during the absence of the American navy in the Pacific ocean.-New York Sun.
 Four hundred million dollars is big price to pay for such bunch of trouble as the Philippines and the prospect is even less roseate, when it is considered that this sum is but a drop in the bucket to what they will cost us, unless we grant them inde- pendence under American protection. New Britain Herald.
 When all the water is squeezed out of the Interborough Metropolitan railroad finances men will not be able to go up and down Broadway without rolling their trousers half way to their knees. Indeed, some stockhold- CTS in the company are anxiously in- quiring if it is possible that they can swim to dry land.-Brooklyn Eagle.
 A dispatch from Washington inti- mates that the retention of the Philippines will be burning ques- tion in the coming congress and that a strong effort will begin to get rid of the islands. It will in all probability prove unsuccessful,=but=i would be money in our pockets if we could wash our hands of our Oriental pos sessions. San Francisco Chronicle.
 That Gov Hughes is willing to be president there is little doubt and that the opposition to Taft in the convention will concentrate on him is more than likely if the present conditions hold. Suppose he should develop more strength than Taft? Would the president then accept the nomination? This is thing that most of us would like to know Washington Post.
