Since his service in Seoul, the Am
bassador has filed various posts. He
obtained from Great Britain a recog-
milton of China's sovereignty's in Tt
bet; in Mukden, China IS rights against
japan. He has held high positions in
the Wai-Wapu, or foreign affairs of

merit for his present position.
The China Mail recently declared
that His Exeelleney's mission to the
United States is for a far more i'm.

and adds:

Chinese Students Petition.

At the Consulate the president of
the Chinese Students Alliance of Ha-
wall, Mr.. Tom Alloy acting as spokes-
man for a delegation, presented pc
tition to His Excellency which asked
that the Chinese Government devote a
part of the Boxer indemnity to schOl-
arshGps in American colleges for Chi
nese students of the Hawaiian Is
lands. The Ambassador promised that
he would do all he could to help the
Chinese students here. As is well
known, the Boxer indemnity RENTED
by the United States is to be devoted
by China entirely to the education of
Chinese youth in American colleges
and universities, and the young men
of Hawaii desire to acquire the same
advantages. All boys educated from
the fund are expected to enter the
service of the Empire.
The Ambassador is a graduate of
both Harvard and Columbia colleges,
and is therefore no stranger to Amer
lea. At one time he was secretary of
the Chinese commission sent to Korea,
and headed by Yuan Sie-Kwai, as
president. Many of the distinguished
men of the Far East have paid tribute
to the ability of which he gave proof
then in combating Russian intrigues to
dispossess China of her natural heri-
tage in Korea. Mr.. Tang viii now di-
rect his talents to the more easy and
agreeable task of Strengthening the
friendly relations between China and
America.

that he hoped the friendly relations
existing between the United States

the two countries together even more

The sad news of the illness of the

happening in the debatable
states that lead to the belief that
the Republicans themselves are

Hughes as they do, would they

strengthen their ticket?
And even with Hughes on the
ticket, there is a chance for
Bryan to carry New York, for
the racing interests will fight the

In the cities they will likely give
huge majorities to the Demo
cratic ticket.

Gently passed years by those two
grand apostles of popular govern
ment-Theodore Roosevelt and

Mr.. Roosevelt's caution and
discretion have always been
noteworthy, and nothing that he
hasdoneh has failed to meet univer-
sal approval. He knows what
the people want better than they
do and ne gives them plenty of
it. But Joseph Cannon is GER
tainly the ideal public servant.
He is always anxious to cut down
expenses Of the government and
to do everything in the interest
of the common people. This
mans self sacrificing devotion
to public duty and to the welfare
of the masses has been beautiful.
Certainly no one cab view

with the fact that the people do

The Z Cent Fare.

In retrospect the 2 cent pas
senger rate law may appear as a
hasty and inconsiderate legisla
tive attempt at regulation, but
so far as the larger roads of the
state are concerned it seems to
have justified itself.
The report of the Chicago and
Alton railroad, it is true, shows
that while 100000 more passan-
gers We're carried in the year
ending June 30, 1908, than in the
year proceeding, the passenger
receipts were S208, 900 less. This
in itself indicates nothing as to
the justice or injustice of the law.
1t does not carry the necessary
comparison to operating expen-
ses or show the relationship tofair
and adequate profits. 1t proves
merely that the road has car
ried more passengers and has
less money. The fact of interest
is that railroad men are willing
to continue under the law, al
though they say that it is econ
omically wrong" and protest
that they should be allowed to
adjust rates to traffic.
This is an old contentionagainst
rate regulation, both passenger
and freight, and if it be econom-
ic soundness, then it and public
policy must part company. Rail
road men no longer argue serious
ly for this right. The one test of
the 2 cent law, as of all other reg
ulating statutes, is whether it
permits a fair and just earning
for the road. 1t may be permit.
ed that the legislature which
gave the state a 2 cent fare took
much forgranted, but so far as the
larger roads are involved it has
not been proved that the legisla-
jump in the dark has had dis
asterous consequences.
The original idea that the re.
duced rate in itself would prove
a stimulus to passenger traffic
sufficient to compensate for the
reduction in rate and sufficient
to justify the elimination of spec
ial reduced rates as an incentive
to travel has not been made good
to the full extent expected. The
railroads which at first proceeded
upon the theory that the latter
result could be expected have re-
cognized their mistake, and an
other year under the law proba
bly, will find the number of pas
sengers increased largely and
the passenger receipts swelled
accordingly.
The fate Of the law is with the
smaller and weaker roads rather
than with the larger, Weather,
and more powerful. The latter
are working ander it with no
great disadvantage, whether they
like it or not --Chicago Tribune.
