A unique vote winning device was

Speaking of criminals, it has been
decided that this element in Washing

Washington at least no protest has
been made by her citizens. The way
of it is this. The penitentiary at
Trenton has been designated by the
Attorney General to be the receiving
station for all prisoners from the Dis

1908, the District prisoners were sent

EDUCATIONAL
School Baths Provided.

The school board of Pittsburg, Pa,
has decided to install a system of
baths in one of its school buildings.
This will be for the use of the school
children during the day, while the
mothers will be permitted to bring
children after school hours. This is
practically the first bathing plant es-
tablished In the Pittsburg schools, for
while the other was instituted some
years ago It was for the use Of kinder

Neighborhood Schools Wanted.
Discomfort with the public school

lister Hayashi subsequently presented
to the Korean cabinet Japan's de-
mands, which virtually revolutienize
the Korean form of government,
though permitting the throne to remain
as a sort of figurehead. The financial
archives of the government have been
transferred to the Japanese city to in
sure their safety and the seals have
been transferred to the new emperor,
thus recognizing his rule as absolute, al
though the edict of abdication con-
templated making him merely regent.
The new emperor is well known in
this country, where a part of his
schooling was obtained, he having at

at Delaware, @. He was noted for his
lavish expenditure of money and for
his fast life during visits to New York

Year after year these public schools
nave been growing bigger and bigger
until at present it is common in the
little tots crowded together into the
same building, which is in consequence
just so much further from the homes
Of many. Machine methods, under
such circumstances, become inevitable,
and it is difficult to give any kind of
elasticity to such system, and the
writer believes that the growth of the
private schools marks revolt against
this kind of public school. He thinks
the remedy will be the development Of
neighborhood schools under central SUI

Medical Colleges Condemned.
A special committee Of the Amer
lean Medical association, which was
appointed three years ago to investi-
gate the instruction and standards Of
the various medical colleges in the
United States, has now submitted its
report, which condemns about one-half
of all the so called medical colleges
IN the land and appeals to the public
to aid in remedying this evil Among
the members of the committee are
Drs. Bevan of Chicago, Frazier of
Pennsylvania university, Witherspoon
OF Nashville, Councilman of Boston,
Vaughan of Ann Arbor and Colwell of
Chicago. The committee finds that
there are too many of these schools
in which preliminary education is In
sufficient and in which the course Of
instruction is inadequate and the lack
of trained teachers evident. 1t ap-
pears that there are now In this coun-
try 100 medical schools, or as many
as in all Europe. The report holds
that the great advance in the sciences
In recent years has made necessary

course of medical education than for

four year high school course is re-

work in hospitals and a year as in

middleman's profits and sell direct to
consumers. To this end they would
form company composed exclusively
Of members of the union and operate
large exchange in Newburg, selling
farm and garden produce slightly be-

operation of the labor interests the
farmers have asked to join the Central

Proportions of Sexes In Swine.
The bureau of animal industry of the
department of agriculture has recently
issued an interesting bulletin ON the
relative proportions of the two sexes Of
pigs at birth. This is information not
heretofore obtainable for the reason
that, while the herd books have given
the total number Of pigs farrowed,
the number Of each sex was given only
for those raised. The report includes
lat filters. The number Of boar
pigs was $1,000; the number Of sows,
66625. The average per sow was:
Bears, 4.51; sows, 4.4S. For all prac-
tical purposes the sexes may be re-
garded as equal in number at birth,
although the boars are seen to be
slightly more numerous than sows.
Expressed in the lowest terms of
whole figures the proportion stands
pol boars to 200 sows. The results
were gathered from twenty-five states
and territories and represented eight
breeds, with several filters of grades
or mixed breeds.

Bryan Defers Ownership Issue.

Bryan Defers Ownership Issue.
In a formal statement William ].
Bryan announces that government
ownership is not an Immediate ISSUE"
as "a large majority of the people still
hope for effective regulation" He still
believes, with many Democrats, that
public ownership of railroads is the
ultimate solution Of the problem but
he and they recognize that regulation
must be tried under the most favorable
circumstances before the masses will
be ready to try more radical reme-
dy." He adds that regulation cannot
be sufficiently tried within the next
year and that there Is no desire any
where to make government ownership
an issue in 1905" That, be thinks,
would give the railroads an opportuni-
ty ito dodge the issues of regulation
and deceive the public"
Nevertheless Mr.. Bryan says that the
railroads SO far have been successful
In preventing effective federal regula-
ton, while state regulation, as rule,
has "been restrained by the United
States courts" 1t took ten years to
find that the commerce commission
was powerless and ten more to amend
the law, even then the president hay
ing to compromise with the railroad
Republicans in the senate" State agi-
tation has resulted in the railroads
seeking ito centralize all rate legisla-
ton in congress- The Democratic
party, therefore, must meet the issues
by resisting the Entertainments of the
authority Of the states" and insisting
upon ssthe exercise of the federal pow
er for the regulation of interstate COM
merce." The party should demand
the ascertaining Of the value of all
the railroads, the preventing Of over
capitalization and the reduction of
rates to point where they will yield
only a reasonable return on the real
value of the roads,

Opening for the defense, Lawyer
Richardson early brought into his ar
gument the Roosevelt letter referring
to Haywood, Meyer and Debs as ''un-
desirable citizens and the fact that
the Standard Oil company owned the
mines and smelters in the Occur
d'Alenes, where all the trouble began.
He explained how the Pinkertons had
hired Orchard to kill Steunenberg and
others in order to involve the leaders
of the miners union, thus departing
from the theory of Orchards personal
vengeance against the Idaho ex-gov-
ernor.
Following Richardson, Lawyer Oar

if they thought him guilty of such a

the word of "a cowardly, lying muir

the biggest liar AS to immunity, Or
chard was already paid by having his
life prolonged in a soft, comfortable

A New Foundation Method.
The Literary Digest quotes from
foreign engineering paper the descrip-
ton of a new method of making
foundations now used in all sorts of
conditions 1t is known as the com

holes through the soft soil down to
hard pan by means of tapering arm
which is forced down like pile driver
and then filing these holes with stones
and rubble in successive layers, each
of which is firmly rammed down.
The result is to produce monolithic
block of great strength. No ground is
removed in the boring of the shaft,
the sides of which acquire great com
pactness.

utmost the release of the defendants,
promising armed protection to the
state officers. and thus precipitating a
direct conflict of authority between the
federal court and the state of North
Carolina.
Judge Pritchard's decision main
tanned that the penalties inflicted un-
der the new statute would close the
doors to Judicial hearing and would
amount to virtual coniscation of the
railroads property. He explains that
be had already, on June 20, enjoined
the state from putting the new rates
into effect pending an inquiry as to the
constitutionality of the law and that
be had protected the rights of the pub
lie by requiring coupon to be given
to each ticket purchaser showing the
amount to be refunded in the event
the rates should be upheld; heDce he
holds that the federal court was not
the aggressor and that it would be
incumbent upon him TO protect the
rights of the parties to the controversy
and the authority Of his court by pre-
serving its jurisdiction. He points out
that If the case had been carried to a
higher state court that court would
not have permitted the execution of
sentence based upon the infraction of
q law whose validity was yet to be de-
termined by the courts.
Governor Glenn, in a statement to
the press, resents the charge of usur-
patton made by the railroad men and
says that he is simply trying to enforce
the law as the executive officer Of the
state, it being his duty to see that VIC
lators are punished.
With view to adjusting this con-
dict of authorities Assistant Attorney
General Sanford was sent by President
Roosevelt to Asheyille to propose a
compromise providing that the injunc-
ton suit be brought to final hearing at
once, that the habeas corpus case be
carried at once to the sl,3 ame court
by appeal and that all fl>S- her proceed
ings under the rate law in the state
court be suspended until the supreme
court Of the United States could rem
der final judgment This proposition
was rejected by Governor Glenn
promptly as involving his surrender to
the federal court He said he would
not consider any offer from the other
side until the railroad had complied
with the law and until the federal
courts had recognized the right of the
state to institute suits and to prosecute
them under the existing law. He or
dered other prosecutions to be pro-
eeeded with, saying that he would use
every lawful means to enforce the
laws Of the state. He holds that the
interference Of Judge Pritchard pre-
vented the state courts from perform
ing their duties and would have tied
the hands of the governor.
Judge Pritchard formerly served
eight years in the United States SEN
ate, having been elected on the Re
publican-P opulist fusion ticket. At
the end of his term he was appointed
BY President Roosevelt to the supreme
