at work, and where great deal of
extra official political activity goes on"
The university's appeal to patriotic
American citizens everywhere for sub
scriptions with which to establish an
adequate endowment fund is beginning
to bring results. DR.. Mitchell Carroll,
chairman of the committee on building
and endowment, welcomes even the
smallest contribution, for the greater
the number of contributions the more
widespread the national interest in the
institution which the university is
seeking to create.
1t is believed that President Roose-
velt's forthcoming speech at Indian
apolis will be one of the most i'm
portant and significant utterances Of
the year. 1t was given out tentatively
that he will seize the opportunity to
make plain his matured attitude to-
ward the growing anti-corporatlon
movement. While reiterating his we'll
known position on the question, 1t Is
believed that he will particularize as
to the LaFollette proposition for a
valuation of railroad property and will
also take exception to some OF the radl-
cal features of Governor Hughes pub
lie utility bill in New York. Politicians
affect to see in this something more
than appears on the surface, for the
president, provided he follows out the
above program, will take sharp issue
with Senator LaFolette and Governor
Hughes, both of whom have been mem
toned in connection with the conVen-
tion of 1908. Such action would mark
ont sharply the lines of the coming
campaign, and as Secretary Taft is
expected to echo his chiefs arguments
in his coming trip in the northwest and
southwest, the inference is plain.
No one was surprised when Lieu
tenant Governor Lawrence Y. Sher-
man of Illinois declined the appoint
ment rendered him by President Roose-
Welt as a member of the Spanish treaty
claims commission. The life of the
commission will expire before the close
of the year, and as Mr.. Sherman's con-
nection with 1t probably would lnJure
him in state politics, besides diVorc1ng
him from the public crib after only
brief service in a federal 1op, ms rea-
sons are regarded as good. promptly
unon receipt of Mr.. Sherman's declln-
etion the president promoted Harry K.
Daugherty of Pennsylvania to the va
cancv Mr.. Daugherty for some time
has been connected with the commits
sion in the capacity of assistant at-
| torney.
There are nine American Si'iDSiis
looking forward eagerly to the coming
of Iiang Tung Yen, the new Chinese
minister. They were his chums at
vale. and it was due to the orlental
Quick wit that the nine managed TO
i've from month to month and exc out
an existence between their periodical
checks from home. They were all
Heood fellows and each one OF them
received monthly allowance or ABOUT
the same amount-$1o0. All their
checks reached them about the same
time, with the result that there was
one grand orgy, and at the END OF tWo w :,
or or three days all were strapped"
Tdanp Tung Yen came to the rescue Gu!
with a proposal that solved the dliIi-
Guilty. Taking the ten checks ne
nooled them, and for exactly tnree
days one man paid all the expenses pens OF
his fellows. In this way the $1,000 was
snread over thirty days and tney man
aged to get through each month tnere-
after without being in danger OF prl-
vation' 1t is suggested that a re-
nnion of the ten be held soon atter
Tiang assumes his duties mere.
