WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
EST FROM THE CAPITAL

Many exaggerated reports have
found their way into the news
papers regarding the Harbin in
cident in Manchuria, where United
States Consul Fisher has made a
formal protest against one or
more regulations promulgated by
the Mapchurian Railway, which
north Of Harbin il controlled by
the government of Japan. The
fact is that the Secretary of State
is not at all disposed to be suspi-
cisus of Ruseia's motives in Man.
ch iria. On the contrary he has
every confidence that if Mr.. Fish
er's point is we'll taken Russia
will uphold the equities in the
situation, even though she is COM
pelled to reject the pretensions of
her own subjects, the owners Of
the Manchuriap Railway. On the
other nand il is regarded as pecu-
liarly fortunate that an incident
occurred which has enabled this
country so clearly to demonstrate
its determination to promote re-
spect for the administrative entity
of China in a friendly controversy
with power with which the
United States is on terms of as
warm frien dship as Russia. Con-
sui Fishers protests to the Rus
sian authorities, upheld by the
Russian government may have a
most salutary influence upon the
methods employed by the Japan
ese in their administration of
their section of the Manchurian
Railway.

The Summer Term of State

The Summer term of the State
Normal Sch ool at Kirksville is ex-
pected to be a record breaker. 1t
opens June End. 1t complies with
minimum and maximum require
ments of the State Board of Edu-
cation. 1t offers every variety of
instruction which public school
teachers will desire; all the COM
mon school branches, all the col
lege cources; all the good old
fashioned subjects and most of
the popular ''fads"; Practice
School work and all varieties of
Professional Studies.
1t retains the full faculty of
more than forty teachers, all wide
awake and ambitious men and
women, anxious to build up
the schools of Missouri. There
will be: cources for rural school
teachers, special exhibits by the
Model Rural School; special
cources for Superintendent and
High School teachers; regular
cources for everybody: all told 1926
different cources and classes.
A unique and very popular
feature of great value to town and
village teachers, is the course in
Photography which includes the
making of lantern slides and the
use of stereopticon. A S25. port
able lantern outfit has been de-
vised which many am
bilious teachers will learn to
use. They will learn to make
their own slides to illustrate
Geography, History and Litera-
ture and many other studies.
Past experience proves the
summer season to be the best and
the healtniest time to GO to school.
Less than one percent of the
summer students have heretofore
been absent from classes on ao-
count of sickness. This fact has
broken down many venerable
traditions.

The House Committee on Naval
Affairs has reported naval pro-
gramme which authorizes the
President to construct two new
battleships but makes no appro-
priation, thereof, so that the adj
ministration would, under this
bill be able to do nothing more
than prepare the plans for the two
new destroyers. Judging by Sem
ator Hale's recent attack on the
military establishment in the
Eenate his committee is not likely
to increase the naval appropria-
tion. 1t is entirely probable how
ever, that the President will take
occasion to send to Congress a
special message on this subject.
He is intensely earnest In his adj
vocaey of four new battleships
The Montgomery tribune., 1908-04-17

Speaking of Senator Hale's atti-
tude toward the military establish
ment suggests his recent diatribc
against the so-ca'led army pro-
gramme, which it was stated In
local newspaper, Secretary Taft
advocates. The fact is that Secre-
tary Taft has never even seen the
proposed reorganization plan
which calls for an increase of the
standing army of 125, 900 men.
When the General Staff urged the
necessity of certain increase
in the army the Secretary suggest
ed that they work out compre-
hensive scheme and prepare an
argument in favor ofits adoption.
Before this programme was SUBJ
mitted to the Secretary the chief
OF STAFF, General Bell revealed it to
some newspaper men and one of
them published it as.Judge Taft's
scheme. Senator Hale is too ex-
perienced in public life to believe
anything he sees in the News
papers but the public statement
furnished material for his annual
diatribe and he has made no effort
to ascertain it's truth or falsity.
In cidentally MI. Hale has no love
for Secretary Taft. He has op-
posed the Senator and his col
league, Senator Frye has support
ed him. The result is that Maine
will send solid Taft delegation
to the National convention and
Senator Hale's son, Chandler
Hale, who is wise politician, has
given out an interview strongly
supporting the Secretary of War
greatly to the Senator's chagrin.

The indications are that there
will be little legislation from now
on excepting the appropriation
bills, and itis.not improbable that
Congress will be ready to adjourn
sometime between May 10 and
May Both. - The legislation urged
by the President, including the
bill amending the Sherman anti
trust laws before Congress as the
National Civic Federation bill, is
believed by the leaders to be
doomed. The dissatisfaction of
organized labor with the measure
is the reason alleged for the luke
warm attitude of Republican
members of Congress toward the
proposed legislation. Were it
possible to amend the law in thos e
instancessin which it is admittedly
defective, and at the same time
satisfy both organized labor and
the railroads, the Republicans
would cheerfully undertake the
task, despite their knowledge
that the Democrats would sieze
upon such a move to make politi-
GAL capital and in so far as possi-
BILE present the motives of the Re-
publicans in false light. But
with the almost certain result of
being unable to satisfy anybody
perhaps with an imposaibility of
accomplishing anything at this
session, the leaders are determin-
I'd to do nothing.

FAINT HOPE OF A HAIR CUT
This Man VIII Shun BARRIERS Until
Bryan ls Elected


II w. j. Bryan Is elected Presi-
dent of the United States this
year, "Uncle" Thomas Benton
Robertson Of Macon, Mo-, will
hike to barber shop for shave
and haircut. Then he will
draw on Quincy bank for 500
which has been laying there to
his credit conditional upon
Democrats election since 1896.
When Mr.. Robertson read Bryan's
"cross of gold" speech that stam-
peded the Democratic convention
in Chicago in 1895, he threw his
hat in the air and shouted "glory!"
His cousin Charles Winfield of
Quincy, ILL.,, suggested that there
might be a slip between the cup
and the Nebraskan's lips.
"Don't you believe It'll" said
Robertson. "That man is going
to be President. l am so sure of
it to agree here and now, never
again to shave or cut my hair un-
til he or some other Democrat is
President.
"Pshaw" said Winfield, ,"you're
only talking but I'll tell you what
I'll do. If you keep that pledge
I'll give you 500. the day a
Democrat is elected and will de-
posit 500 to your credit at
Quincy"
Robertson was fifty years of age
then and tall fine looking man.
He was more than ordinarily care
full about his personal appearance
and Winfield did not think he
would run the risk of becoming an
oddity. But the Bryan admirer
accepted the challenge and has
kept compact faithfully through
all the defeats of .'the inspired
son." Allowing one shave a week
at ten cents per, and eight hair
cuts a y ear, Mr.. Robertson figures
that he is $500 to the good for
the twelve years, but admits that
he would greatly enjoy lifting the
boycott against the BARRIERS. He
keeps his hair from looking con-
spicious by wearing it plated on
top OF his head. His widowed
daughter with whom he lives earns
so cents week for attending this
feature of his "make ready" The
hair has grown out long and
bright, like fne silken threads
and glistens over the patriot like a
silver sheen.
Mr.. Robertson was born near
Quincy, ILL.,, in 1910. His parents
moved to Missouri two years later
and settled in Knox County,
Since 1858, he has been the owner
and operator of portable saw
mill, and is in that business now.
To distinguish him from the
other Robertsons in that vicinity
his friends and neighbors call him
"Sawmill" Robertson. eff you
get this story up right and don't
stretch it too bad" saio Mr..
Robertson, "Im going to send
Mr.. Bryan copy of the paper,
and ask him if it amt about time
I cut my hair. I'm going to put it
directly up to him."-Kansas City
Star.

Within sixty days at o and
probably sooner passengers between
Chicago and New York will have the
privilege of travelling back and forth
in anew type of car. the all steel, non
collapsible, noncombustible passenger
coach which railroad men say. will
entirely supersede the old style wood
and steel coaches.
Announcement was made Saturdl II
that the Pressed Steel Car company
is completing for the Pennsylvania
railroad the largest order of steel pas
senger coaches wei placed. The or
der calls for e~ighty-hve coaches TO be
used on the Pennsylvania main line
between Chicago and New York. The
order was given some time ago, but
effort was made to keep it quiet until
the cars were delivered. Many of the
cars are completed the first of them
will be delivered March /, and all will
be ready by April 1.
The new cars are steel throughout
The floors are made Of a combination
of conrete and sawdISt, which is nom
inhammable. The Ears are eighty feet
long and will be only a trile heavier
than ordinary wooden coaches. The
order is the first extensive one for
steel cars, although several roads
have ordered two or three steel cars
as IN experiment and have found
them successful.

Pennsylvania Shareholders.

According TO figures given out BY
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
to show the importance of the net
earnings of a railroad to a large num-
Der of people, the shareholders in the
Pennsylvania compan t, January 1
numbered 1925, an increase of g.
$40 for the year 1907. During the
year the average holding decreased
from $50 shares to 10 shares. The
number of women stockholders in
creased from 1929 to 26,471, while
the number OF European investors in
the stock grew from 1883, December
81, 1906, to 9,149 one year later. The
increase in total holders for The
month of December, 1907, was 1881
A compilation also has been made
which shows that in the companies
controlled and directed by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company there are
for the lines east Of Pitslrrg I'LL
shareholders, and IN the companies
west of Pittsburg 9,6s2 holders OF
stock. These make a total of 20,793
holders in all tie subsidiary compan-
les. A few hundred of these holders
represent the Pennsylvania railroad
proper, but approximately 10000 are
entirely independents stockholders.
These are in addition to the 1926
investors in the parent company.
