ENDORSE ORDINANCE.

lauf Saloon Plan.

At the meeting of the quarterly BIZ
bounty convention OF the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in this
city the sixty or more delegates from
Richmond, Henrico and Hanover unan-
imously endorsed the Umlauf ordinance
for fewer saloons and higher license.
However: the members were particular
to explain that they are out and out
for prohibition, but are willing to
accept the Umlauf ordinance as step
in that direction.
All the reports submitted to the
convention were of an encourag ing
character. and show that the temper
ance sentiment in the territory COW
cred by the organization is growing.
The meetings were held In the I'M
manuel Baptist Church, and were pre-
sided over by Mrs. G. M. Jobson, the
president Of the district union.

Washington. D. c.. Sept IL. 1907.
1t Is reported that President Roose-
welt will recommend to Congress the
creation of new executive depart
ment of the government, whose head
is to be known as the secretary of
transportation.
1t Is probable that the President
has not made up his mind on the sub
ject. There Is no way of confirming
the story here.
In a recent address before the Amer
ican Bar Association at Portland. Me-,
Commissioner Prouty. of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, declared
for legislation looking to the separa-
ton Of the administrative and judicial
duties of the commission. In other
words, the Commissioners proposed that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
should be vested with the duties of
a court, exclusively. and that the adj
ministrative functions which 1t now
exercises. should be entrusted to some
other body.
Should this view be approved by the
President, which several well-inform-
ed people think likely. he would prob
ably recommend the creation of the
Department of Transportation.

DR. Macdonald has spent many years

the direction of inducing governmental

WASHINGTON, D. c.. September IL
Secretary Oscar L. Straus, OF the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, to-.
night returned to Washington. after
an extended visit to various cities
along the Pacific coast and to Honolulu,
where he went to gather Information
bearing on the work of his depart
ment
The visit OF Secretary straus to the
Pacific coast, including the Hawaiian
Islands. has been an enjoyable one,
and Is likely to lad to practical re-
suits. He planned trip along the
Canadian border to Vancouver. and
thence south through Seattle and Port
land to San Francisco, with Honolulu
as the ultimate destination. He return
cd to Washington to-day. and talked
freely about his experiences. especially
those in the Hawaiian Islands. When
he arrived at Honolulu the islanders
were out in force to greet him and
his party. They were taken to the
hotel in automobiles, the route being
lined on both sides by the people. who
were enthusiastic in their demonstra-
tons The presence of Representative

largest and most representative bodies

applying to the islands. which penalize
the carrying of passengers and freight

American bottoms.

Straus assured the islanders that he
would endeavor to have existing
grievances remedied, and concluded
his address by saying:

shortcomings in the way of the pro-
gress of the islands is that there is

On another occasion the Secretary
was waited upon by delegation Of
Japanese editors. representing the
four Japanese newspapers of Homo
lulu, who called to ascertain his views
regarding Japanese matters in the
territory. and as to his policy with
reference to Japanese immigration.
particularly If he believed that the
preponderance of Japanese in Hawaii
was inimical to the future welfare of
the islands. In reply the Secretary
said:
An Equilibrium of Races.
An ideal condition for the future
welfare of these islands would be
that there should not be too great a
preponderance of any one race, but
that an equilibrium be maintained.

Reuuisition Refused

Lansing, Mich, May 30.-Sus-
pecting that the ends of justice
would not materially suffer, Gov
Warner today refused to issue his
warrant for the extradition of Ly-
man H. Dunning, of South Dakota,
who is wanted in Owosso for alleged
embezzlement. The amount of the
embezzlement is 1854.
The complaining party is the FL
deity Accident and Protective So
ciety, of Saginaw. Dunning is un-
derstood to have been its agent in
Owosso and some disagreement re-
suited as to his commissions. On
account Of the smallness of the
amount involved and the possibility
of the proceeding being one to col
lect a debt, the requisition was de-
MED.
Another feature of the proceeding
which might have "queered'it with
the governor, was the fact that a
municipal constable was detailed to
make a trip to South Dakota after
the prisoner, the sheriff of Shiawas-
see county being salaried officer.

wreaths we lay on their graves are
but symbols of the great tribute we
owe to their fame. The reality lies
in the duty of glorifying and mag
nifying the prize bought by then

of lives poured out on the battle
field are not wasted if they teach
us selfsacrificing obedience to the
mandates of civic duty.
There is no lesson says one of
our Grand Army leaders, we, as a

cessful and untroubled business, we
are all too prone to do every man
what is right in his own eyes. The

spirit and devotion which actuated
