Before the press of the country had
completed its editorial commenda-
ton of John ID. Rockefeller for hav-
ing given 81, ,000,0 of his wealth
for the cause of education the an
nouncement is made that the Stand
ard Oil company had increased the
price of oil from two to five cents
gallon. This Statement throws dam
per upon the hilarity of the people
and robs Rock efeller of much of the
credit which the public was prepared
to lavish upon him for his "munifi-
cent? gift.
The fact that the Standard Oil com
pany will reap an increased p1ofitsof
$40, ,000, 900 from the sale of oil under
the new rates adds to the feeling ex-
listing among the people that Rookie
feller never makes gift of his
money without recouping himself
for what he gives. In this latest case
the willy head of the Standard mo-
nopoly appears to have made a profit
of $50, ,0OO, 900 and secured good
deal of undeserved praise under false
pretense.-Exchange.

claring such ii plan an outrage the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad pass
ed out of existance and became a
part of the Pennsylvania system.
At the same time an address was
issued to the stock kholders of the
Northern Central Railway announc-
ing that the proposition to merge
that road with the Pennsylvania
that had been under consideration
several years had been abandoned.
Overwhelming CONTROL of the capi-

amounting to more than 96 per cent:
made it possible for the Pennsylvania
to go into the annual meeting and

The absorption was carried out ac

To build great battleships does not
imply war, nor does il menace any
particular nation. 1t only represents
keen business as well as lofty notion
al instincts. The United States has
insular possessions to guard and to
make their position sound in every
conceivable way it is essential for
this country to have real fighting
navy.
The lesson taught by the battle of
the Sea of Japan was that the big
ship and heavy gun won for the Mi
kado an empire-saving victory. Rus
sia's fleet couldn't endure the smoth
ering broadsides even at long range
poured in by the japanese battleship.
Both Japan and her ally, England,
have since the war applied their
greatest naval energy in the direction
of larger warships than ever before
existed. 1t is safe to assume that
those two countries know more OF
the real inside facts about the effect
of heavy gun fire from big ships than
any others.
The United States makes no mis-
take, first, i'm deciding to enlarge the
navy, and, second, in putting the
money in battleships of the most
powerful type. 1t should only be
necessary for everg citizen to re
member that every dollar invested
in American property is made more
secure when an American fleet ride.

The State Department, being now
fairly assured through the adoption
of the report on the immigration bill
that the San Francisco authorities
will rescind their action excluding
Japanese pupils from the white
schools, is prepared to take up again
the negotiations that were already in
progress with the japanese Govern
ment looking to the regulation of
Japanese emigration into the United
States. 1t is expected that these ne
gotions will result in an agreement
between the Government of Japan
and that of the United States for the
Withholding of passports to japanese
of the laboring classes seeking to en-
ter the United States.
For several years past the Japanese
Government has declined to issue
any such passports, but the intention
is to make this IA matter of formal
agreement if possible. In the short
time remaining of the present session
of Congress it is not possible, it is
said, to frame anything in the nature
of treaty which would require the
action of the Senate. In fact it is by
no means certain that formal con-
vention is necessary to issue the con-
tinuance of the present Japanese,poi-
icy of refusing passports to coolies.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor, being in charge of immigra-
ton, will at once, upon the signature
of the immigration bill, proceed to
instruct the collectors at the various
ports of entry of the restrictions plac-
ed upon the admission of immigrants
by the new act. No mention is to be
made of japanese laborers, but the
collectors will be enjoined to enforce
the passport provisions of the new
act which will meet the needs of the
Pacific Coast.

The DanqilIe News says: "rhe en-
tire village of Light Street, above
Bloomsburg, is in state of excite
ment over the sensational develop
ments of Il case in which an irate
mother whipped teacher of the
public schools because the latter
caught the formers son playing
hockey aud catching him forcibly
dragged him into the school room
and placed him in his seat.
ssThe affOir eliminated in a hear
ing Friday evening. From the testi-
mony it appears that Mrs. Jennie
Darrah, mother, appeared at the
school and uncer noniously making
her entrance grabbed the teacher,
Miss Jennie Shew, and thumped and
shook her until her hair hung down
her back and her hair pins were
scattered over the school room. The
testimony was somewhat incOherent
at times for the frequent Outbursts OF
Mrs. Darah, during the hearing
threating to break up the proceed

| Iy station agent for the Northern
Central railroad in Canton, were
, panied tn learn of the serious acci-
dent he sustained at Penn Van,
Monday night of last week, which
necessitated the ann Sation OF one
leg. He had Ispent a portion of the
afternoon at Milo station, four miles
south of Penn Yam, and when he did
not care to wait for the 80 nol TIL
bound tram, so he attempted to walk
the four miles. When nearing the
long switch known as the Shaw sid
ing, he was struck by an extra north
bound freight train and was hurled
some distance.
The train stopped and picked up
the injured man, and taking him to
Penn Van, DIR. William w. Oliver,
the railroad physician, was Summon
ed. Upon examination it was found
that his right leg was so badly man
gled that amputatiOn was necessary.
In the opinion of what is regard
ed as excellent authority the present
session of the Legislature will not
come to an end before July LIST.
All the conditions favor long
session. There are hundreds of bills
in committees already, and not
fair fraction of them have been con
sidered, many of the most important
being left that argument may be
heard on them. Only a few of those
demanded by the platforms of the
dominant political parties have been
considered, and at least half IA hund
red are locked up in the desk of the
committee chairman. Some of these
bills will halt the attention of the
Legislature for many hours, and be-
fore they are whipped into shape
and passed, they will have to be
dissected and examined as under
microscope. This all takes time.
The new capitol investigation com
mittee cannot possibly, in the opin-
ion of the best authorities, report be-
fore June 3Oth, and until its report
is made it is folly to say when the
Legislature shall adjourn finally.
The accountants are busy going over
the bills for the new capitol at pres
ent, occupying a room in the Audi
tor Generals department, and until
they are we'll advanced the commit
tee has nothing on which to com
mence. After the Investigation be
gins it will hardly sit while the Leg
lature is in session, for the reason
that every member of the commit
tee is interested, more or less, in
legislation on its way through the
various stages.

posses cling to the belief that Emil
Ito is still hiding in the Captain noun

get away and that he is being assist

in Mexico, a country of which Gomez
