LOS ANGELES, March BIN AN inter-
view here DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
president of Columbia university, said
President Roosevelt will not run for
president again, no matter what pressure
is brought to bear upon him. The prin-
ciples which Roosevelt stands for are
greater than the man. The republican
party must support these principles. no
matter who its standard bearer may be at
the next election. With Mr. Root president
and Mr.. Taft chief justice of the supreme
court, conditions would be pretty near
ideal But I hardly look for such q COM

BRYAN TALKS OF LEGISLATION
to Control Congress Than TO
Handle states.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1S.-The Times
today will print an interview with William
j. Bryan in which, when asked for his
opinion Of the proposed conference between
President Roosevelt and the railroad pres
idehts. Mr.. Bryan replied!
1.-THE republican leaders object TO the doc
trine, with the consent OF the governed in
the Philippines, but some OF them seem to
think nothing can be done In the regiia-
lions OF railroads without the consent OF
the railroad nagnates. The principal part
Of that announcement. however, is that the
railroad magnates want the supervision of
the railroads transferred to the federal
government that they may avoid state
legislation and this eontradicts the presi-
dents theory that the corporations favor
state rights as a means OF avoiding fed
eral control.
THE great corporations would much
rather risk control by congress which IL
far away from the people, than by state
legislatures, which are close to the peo-
Pile"
BINGHAAdToN. N. Y. March IA rep
resentative OF the Associated Press today
asked William ]. Bryan on his arrival here
what effect the Hartman and other lnvsstl-
cations would have on the agitation in
favor Of government ownership or manage
ment OF railroads. He replied
"The most interesting phase OF the situs,-
ton IL the refusal OF the people to lend
money freely to the railroads. The ran
road managers say this IL due to hostile
legislation. but this is a mistake. There
; has been no hostile legislation OF sufelent
severity to impair the real value Of rail-
road securities where the railroads have
been honestly conducted upon an honest
capitalization.
III the Investing public Is alarmed It Is
because the railroad managers In a vain
EFFORT TO terrorize the legislatures have car,
red matters too far. II any other answer
is needed for the hestancy ON the part
OF investors, the Investigations furnish le

Treasury VIII Not Call for Return of
Special Deposits at Present.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The secretary
of the treasury today announced that the
$50 100000 which was deposited in national
banks the last of September, to be re-
turned about the beginning OF February
would not be called for at present. Beyond
saying that ne was keeping a close watch
on the situation in New York Secretary
Corteiyou would not indicate what his fur
Their plans were.
The oficIal statement of Secretary Cor
teyou is as follows:
The secretary OF the treasury announced
this afternoon that Il is not his intention to
900 additional deposits placed with existing
depositary banks secured by state, munich
pal and railroad bonds, under the terms Of
the press announcement of September "a,
1906, shall be returned to the treasury.
on october % last the secretary OF the
treasury authorized national banks that had
government bonds on deposit to secure
public deposits to substitute for the govern
ment's bonds, state and municipal bonds,
provided they would use the government
bonds 50 released to increase their circula-
ton, Eighteen million dollars was fixed as
the limit of this increase The secretary
provided. however. that this increased cir
eulation must be reduced at the rate of
100000 a month, beginning on March l.
In view of the money situation In New
York, Secretary Cortelyou thinks II is un-
wise TO compel a compliance with this order
and therefore has stated that the banks
that took advantage Of this offer OF Geo
Der % may retain their increased circulation
provided they substitute Philippines. Pan
anna and Hawaiian bonds for the state and
municipal bonds they now have on deposit,

cussed by leading Republicans. This lalk has been especially rife since the recent Japanese war scare. The fact is generally acknowledged that were war to break out Japan could easily and quickly seize the islands, and while our war experts seem to think that in the end we could win they a lso think that after the Japs were once in the islands. it would be I very difficult job to dislodge them In fact in a war with any country with T strong navy the islands would be our weakest point.
 It is on other grounds, however. that the idea of letting go is mainly based. The fact is that the Philip pines are costing us an immense amount of money and there is no end to the expenditures in sight. The administration is costly and if there are any improvements made in the islands they must be paid for out of the public treasury. The people are poor and need help. They cannot be taxed for roads, sewers, parks, rail- roads or anything else calling for large sums. Uncle Sam must pay. Then. too. if the islands are retain sd millions must be expended for f ortifeations. A considerable army must be maintained to keep order even in time of profound peace. We cannot make citizens out af the natives in generations. Our indus tries, cotton, sugar and tobacco, ob- feet to giving the islanders entrance to our markets, yet We keep them out of other markets. In short, the is- lands offer all kinds of problems with out. so far as can be seen, any compen- sating advantages.
 \ western senator has suggested 10 the presient that the United States take two permanent coaling stations in the islands. that two be given to England and that for these conces-
 sions the two nations jointly guaran- tee the independence and territorial integrity of the Philippine nation. There would be no guarantee of pro- tection in ease of war, but simply a pledge of nationality.
 This in the main may be talk such as We have heard before, but from one point of view it is the right kind of talk. Every fair minded man must concede that we should do one of two things. We should either give the Philippines chance to develop in- dustrially and commercially, and give
 them a square deal instead of exploit ing them. or we should cut loose
 from them. So far we have refused the square deal, and if we are going to continue to refuse. it will certainly be more honorable and decent to give them independence.

James Bryce, ambassador to this country from England draws a salary of $50 600 a year, as much as our president gets, ana in addition has an allowance of sl0, GOO for installing himself in his ambassadorial home in Washington. and other perquisites. Our limit for salary allowances for ambassadors is ST, 500, and we are very stiff-necked about allowance and perquisites. As consequence the foremost posts in our diplomatic service can be given only to rich men. for only rich men can support them as they ought to be supported, if they are to be maintained on par W ith those of other countries. Eng land, on the other had, pays her dip lomats so liberally that public men of comparatively modest means, who,
 on account of their ability, she may desire to advance to the highest places in the diplomatic service, can accept appointments without any mis- giyings concerning financial matters. In this respect England's policy seems much the best. Ultimately we will probably adopt it.

Elmer E. Brown, the new L. 5. Commissioner of Education, wants fifty additionial native schools estab- lished in Alaska. and the adoption of different system O. education there in. The last suggestion may be all right, but what he would do with any additional native schools in Alaska, unless some efficacious plan of compulsory attendance can be devis- ed, cannot readily be seen, or even imagined, by those at all conversant with the situation. There is now, not more than three miles from Ketchikan, one of these schools, with high salaried teachers the attendance at which does not average half a dozen pupils. and is frequently with out any pupils at all Certainly, no more native schools are needed in this section of Alaska, if indeed it is de- sired that native children shall re- ceive a modicum of benefit from the money expended in their mainten- auce,

the question from the standpoint of profit and loss, having regard to dollars and cents only.
 It is perhaps needless to point out the fact which is, or should be, known to everybody of ordinary iE telligence. that the salaries of all the officials appointed, as now, by the president governor, secretary, judges marshasl. district attorneys. etc, would as now be paid by the general government as would also the per diem and mileage of members. to- gether with all legitimate expenses of the legislature, including the print ing of the laws. On the other hand, the salaries of such territorial officials as the legislature might deem necessary to the proper administra- tion of territorial affairs, together with the cost of maintenance Of a territorial prisoa and the care of the insane, would have to be paid from the territorial treasury.
 Now. what would be the probable cost. assuming that we are capable of proper administration of our own affairs? How many territorial officials would be required? Moptana with a population of over to, GOO in 1888, taul years subsequent to organization as territory, had an official roster en- bracing a treasurer, aduitor, attorne. general. superintendent of public in- struction, and superintendent oi agriculture. the sum total of whose annual salaries amounted to s2. 800,
 with the addition of fees to some of them which were. however, not a charge against the territory. Colo
 rado, six years after organization, had a treasurer, audi or, attorney
 general and superintendent of public
 instruction, with salary payroll of 1 the same amount as Montana, where as Dakota got along with territorial salary pay-roll of sS15. 7o.
 ] It will not be assumed that Masks could. or would, conduct its affair: so cheaply. as Colorado or Montana,
 as to salaries, but they certainly could be administered with as few. if rot l fewer. territorial officials. Ii is hardl ' probable that more than an Auditor, l Treasurer. Attorney General and Su-
 perintendent of public instruction
 would be required, and their com ] bined salaries should not exceed slo, 600 annually Then, what would be l the pro bable cost of maintenance o1 territorial prison and caring foi
 the insane? Would it be $50, ooo, slOO. 600. or how much?
 Here We pause to give the op-
 ponentsof territorial organization time
 to give us their estimate. in t4e last
 regard, reserving 10 another issue our own estimate of the probable cost of home government together with ar exposition of how that cost can be met without a single dollar of prop erty taxation.

Uncle Joe Cannon. who will un doubtedly again be elected speaker of the House of Representatives, in a speech to Porto Ricans at San Juan the other day, promised them self government as soon as they are ready for it. And thereby hangs tale susceptible of several different inter- pretations from the standpoint of your astute politician. Who is to say W hen the people of Porto Rico are ready for self-goyernment-the people most directly interested, or the politicians at Washington? The people of Alaska have declared them selves, by overwhelming vote, ready for self-governmeut, and yet Uncle Joe and the wlseacres of congress say them nay.
