THE BRAINIEST
GAME IS CHESS

Chess always has been the subject
of more dispute, so far as its origin
is concerned, than any other game. It
is probably the most ancient as well
as the most intellectual of games, and
it is played all over the world. The
belief which is most generally accepted
is that it came from the Hindoos, and
the most conservative estimates places
it's age at one thousand years. Some
persons, however, claim an age OF from
four to five thousand years for it. It's
basis is the art of war, and the Hindoo
name for it, c~haturanga, means the
four 'angas' or members of an ru.y
which are given in Hindoo writings as
horses, chariots, and foot
soldiers.

Exit Shin Subsidy

We have no idea that the prosperity OF
the country will greatly suffer during the
remainder Of the year by reason Of the
timely death of the ship-subsidy bill.
Trade reports from all parts of the COM
mOnwealth indicate that we are suffering
more severely from a shortage of freight
cars than from the decline In American
shipping" and statistics show that some
how American foreign commerce con-
tinues to prosper. IN spite of our I'M
willingness to subsidize shipping
Undaunted by defeat, Senator GaHinger
threatens to come back next fall with
another subsidy bill, and to keep right
on with the subsidy struggle until some
thing is done TO brace up American ship
ping by grants from the public Treasury.
Ninety-one per cent of our commerce. he
iaments, is carried in foreign bottoms
and that sort of thing. he thinks. the
American people viii not permit very
much longer. But how can this unfor-
tunate state Of affairs be remedied by
subsidy legislation unless the government
goes into the freight-subsidy business at
a cost of untold millons2
It is very doubtful if public sentiment
Will ever indorse so extravagant a propo-
sition- Only by introducing the head of
the camel could the subsidy people ever
expect to get the body Of the animal
into the Federal Treasury. For the pres
ent, at least that greedy quadruped has
been showed off the sidewalk.

Letting "A Presidential Candidate.
From the Boston Herald.
The Herald does not conceive il to be 2
part Of its duty 20 select candidates for
political parties. Its function, as we IN
derstand and exercise it. is to give the
facts and 20 tell the truth about candi-
dates after they have been nominated.
and, upon occasion. to support the one
whose election viii, in our judgment, best
serve the public interest. But we don't

and proved ability; Woodrow Wilson,
president of Princeton University. born
In Virginia too late OsJ6) to have partici-
pated in the civil war. a Jefersonian
Democrat, a scholar, a wise man. and a
capable administrator: Gov Folk. of
Missouri, a refoTmer who has reformed
things and sent gTafters and bribers to
prison; Gov. Johnson. Of Minnesota. born

gressive and yet level-headed Democrat,
who has been twice elected governor
the last time by plurality Of 1900 in
a State that gave Roosevelt above 10000
and has made good in Office
We believe any one Of these men could
get more votes than Bryan would, where
the votes would count In Presidential
Ieiectors-if the Bryan men would give them
an honest support. Whether one Of these.
or any other Democrat. can be elected is
another matter-depending upon the
course of events during the coming year,
and upon the Republican nominee. At
present the outlook is more than doubt
full; it is desperate.

The Rrran.Reveridrs Discussion

That the country is eagerly interested
in the discussion of present-day issues
between Hon. William. Bryan. on the
one hand. and Senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge, on the other. becomes clearly cyl
dent from observation Of contemporary
comment throughout the land. Their
opening installments anent the subject of
State rights, as contrasted with so-calIed
Capitalization. which appear in the cur
rent issue of the Reader. while not ex-
haustiye. nevertheless whet the appetite
for more.
1t is doubtful whether the country
would listen with as much attention to
any other two men who might be named.
Both are graceful and thoughtful writer's:
each represents the advanced thought OF
his respective party. Not only is this
true. but the contestants, or rather the
disputants, are equally famed as ready
and fluent speakers, quick IN thought
and hard TO corner in argument. The
training which has come to both by rea-
son Of hard and aggressive campaigning
has made them alert and careful. watch
fui and thoughtful in expression deliber-
ately intended for public consideration
and which might appeal TO the better
thought OF the nation. 1t would seem.
therefore, that people who want to get at
facts based upon careful research and
painstaking investigation are likely to
ind satisfaction in this debate
Now, on the eve of a campaign which
perhaps wilI be more far-reaching in its
effects upon the future Of this country than
any other campaign since the war, seems

Congress and the PHILIPPINES

Congress has at last done something
for the Philippines II has passed the
bill providing for an agricultural bank
in the islands. and authorizing the Philip
pine government 10 guarantee 10 tho
bankers who may undertake that enter
prise per cent on the capital Invested
The proposed bank is TO be allowed to
make loans for agricultural purposes
only, and no loan in excess OF 5000 can
be made without the authorization Of the
Philippine secretary of finance Il is ex-
pected that most Of the loans will be for
small sums. and that the opportunity
afforded by the agricultural bank of bor-
rowing funds for farming operations al
the rate Of 10 per cent yearly. the rate
fixed by the bill, instead of pei. cent a
month, which is the rate commonly
charged by native bankers. will prove a
boon to Philippine agriculture.
The most interesting feature Of this
legislation in Behalf of our Oriental sub
jects. however. is that it does not cost
the United States government a solitary
cent. The Filipino pays the freight both
ways He pays the 10 per cent interest
on his loans in his private capacity. and
he pays the guaranty Of interest on the
banks capital stock. should that stock
fail 10 earn per cent, in the role OF
taxpayer As Mr.. CruInpacker said. the
government of the United States assumes
no kind Of liability. There IS no pro-
vision or feature of the BILL" according
to Mr.. Crumpacker, that contingentIy or
remotely or implicitly creates any liza
biiity, legal. moral, or speculative. on the
part of the United States government.
So it was not difficult to convince Con-
gress Of the wisdom of doing something
for the Philippines that threw the la
bility on the other fellow.
On quite a different footing is the
Philippine tariff bill, which Congress
failed 10 enact for the benefit of the
FilipinOs- That measure would have af-
fected our revenues; it would have dis

ures have been passed about which the
Filipino people are complaining. both of
them measures for the benefit of favored
interests in this country One is the
special act discriminating in favor Of
American cotton goods imported into the
islands, the operation of which has been
to increase the cost of cottons to the
Filipino consumer; the other the inpOsi-
lion of an export duty on hemp and
other products of the islands, which Is
refunded to American importers. This
refund costs the Philippine government
100000 annually over and above the
duties collected by the United States on
imports from the Philippines and covered
into the Philippine treasury.

Now that the gas question is much in

For example, it is proposed TO deliver

view to the interests of the government
and the people than Ethan Allen Hitch

viii find that Mr. Cortelyou has left
behind him at the POst-of1ce Department
a record Of efficiency that sets d strong
pace for his successor.
Probably none of President Roosevelt s
Cabinet appointments has been more
widely commented upon than that of Mr..
Cortelyou TO be Secretary OF the Treas
ury. into which important Office he was
indicted yesterday. The traditions OF
that Office have required that it be filled
by a financier. or by some one who has
been connected with financial legislation
in either House of Congress. President
Roosevelt chose TO ignore this tradition,
and has placed at the head of the Treas
ury trained and efficient administrator.
That the Treasury had need of just such
a man as Mr., Cortelyou was made SUI
flciently manifest by the report Of the
Keep Commission. and We have no doubt
that on the administrative side the Presl-
dents selection will be abundantly justi-
fed. With respect 10 the financial side
of Treasury affairs, there is no ground
whatever for apprehension that Mr.. Cor
telyou viii not prove fully equal TO his

sanity OF judgment will stand him in

Different from all of these evils and in
some respects more formidable to the
public is the evidence presented that Har-
riman and his intimates have long been
extending the grasp of system which
runs railroads for Wall street purposes
and by Wall street methods. They have
been displscing experts with SPECTATORS
in the management-the real control--of
great railways. They have made the
