When the CA. S. S. Manu1ka arrives
at Tanning Island three days hence she
will learn whether or not it is neees-
sary for her to go to Christmas Island
TO take off the passengers and members
of the crew of the wrecked British
yesterday afternoon at O'Clock for
Sydney, via Tanning, she was to ex'
pect instructions as to her movements
on leaving that island. As the U. S.
Supply Ship Solace has been ordered
by the Navy Department to go to
Christmas Island to rescue the Aeon 8
people, the services of the Manuka
may not be required except possibly
to pick up those who wish to 60 to
Sydney, the Solace attending to those
who are destined for Page Page.
The Manuka arrived early yesterday
forenoon from Victoria and Vancouver.
The voyage was without incident ex-
cept for some exciting games of bridge
and euchre The purser in his official
news of the trip says: Progressive
bridge and euchre bringing forth large
numbers, are exciting, as was also a
holly contested cricket match. The
passengers defeated the officers in
cricket playing, mainly due to the ex-
eellent performance with ball and bat
of Mr.. Arthur Kidman.
Among the passengers for Honolulu
were DIR. Babson, w. Deitz and Mrs.
De Freest. wife of the customs broker,
who has been on the mainland for
several months.

LONDON, August 29.-London has
some queer HDrafleS, out perhaps one
of the strangest is that known as the
<'Ocean Library" connected with the
well known Passmore Edwards Settle
znent. This is a novel system for sup
plying Jack Tar with his favorite
books. Parcels of books are made up
and packed in strong canvas bags,
which again are placed in boxes. These
are shipped on board various vessels
for the use of sailors at sea. Upward
of 10000 books are thus shipped away
per annum. Sailors are great readers
and they have a decided reverence for
books. Captain Custard, wEo keeps the
library and attends to the sending of
books all over the world, reports that
he never has any trouble with sailors
who come TO the place for information
IT for books. Most of the volumes are
sent direct to vessels. Orders come
from all over the world, and parcels
are constantly going out to such far
away ports as Delagoa Bay, the Per
sian gulf, Australia, China, and the
west coast of Africa. In speaking to

Kill THE DANDELIONS

BULLETIN ON THE SUBJECT
OF WEED KILLING.
INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE
PRESERVED BY ALL BIS.
MARck RESIDENTS.

There are many calls upon the
agricultural experiment stations to
give advice as to how to eradicate
the dandelion on parks and lawns.
Complete eradication of this weed is
probably an economic imposisbility
for the obvious reason that it has
gained a worldwide distribution in
waste places and from these it may
always be expected to furnish seed
for general distribution upon lawns,
parks and meadows and roadsides.
Is wind-blown seeds are produced
at almost all times of the year and
may be expected to be present in
large numbers upon any piece of
ground.
Many of our best parks and lawns
are kept free from these weeds by
pei sistent diligence in using the
spud or knife, cutting below the
ground. This method if sufficiently
persisted in, eventually DESTROYS the
old dandelions, providing only the
person who does the cutting does
not allow any leaves to come to light

they are again to become strong, eff

for it is rare that the person who
once gets out of adjustment with

Let Congress Complete the Roosevelt
Program.

The intervening of a presidential
election, with it's diverting incidents,
ought not to obscure the country's
PERCEPTION of the main points of pol
icy that it is the business of the
present congress to deal with. The
railroads should have protection as
well as regulation; they should know
their rights as well as their duties;
they should be made to serve the pub
lie faithfully and efficiently, and they
should be allowed to earn good re-
turns upon their investments and
their efforts as business organizations.
The completion of Mr. Roosevelt'ts
railroad policy at the present time
ought to give stable equilibrium to
the railroad situation for a generation
to come. Again, as respects the big
welt has shown that theuB ..W,o
industrial corporations, Mr.. Roose-
has shown that the law is supreme,
and everybody is now ready to admit
it. But although the, authority of law
is indicated, the statute provisions
of law have been shown to be very
inadquate, and to some extent absurd
and unjust. Mr.. Roosevelt lays down
policy for the changing of the stat
utes and for the better administration
of the law. In its main outline this
policy is right and wise. The great
businesses of this country are legiti-
mate in their commercial motives and
in their general lines of conduct. The
large way of doing business has come
to stay. But these enterprises have
to be subject to legal regulation, and
they cannot be properly supervised
by the individual states. The work
ing out of the actual legislation may
prove difficult, but it is not impos-
sible, and the Sixteenth congress
ought to undertake it and see it
through. From The Progress of the
World, in the American Review of
Reviews for January.

Basis of Circulation
and Test of Necessity

) 1 would not have the government
take these bonds until all idle capital
was supplied; but If there were Iegiti-
mate bonds and no capital to take
them, here is the test that more
money Is needed. Then government
should step In and prevent the ,stoR

necessary, increase its lawful paper
money to do it. There is the test
When the Panama canal three per
cent. certificates were put on sale an
almost unlimited quantity of idle
capital sought to invest
Senator Bacon disclOses a possible
fact that strangers lack faith in coun-
ty anu municipal bonds. But | am
not discussing that question / am
saying there is no reason why legiti-
mate state, county and municipal
bonds cannot be made a test to pre-
vent the over-issue of fiat paper
money
If each state would examine into
and guarantee all the county and mu-
unicipal bonds before sending them
TO the national treasury, that might
be SUFFICIENT, but IL plan can be de
vised to insure depositors in banks
against loss, SO a plan can be devised
to secure the purchasers of state,
county and municipal bonds against
loss, and when such assured bonds
are placed on the market, the govern
ment can stand guard over them and
prevent their sale at less than par,
and test the condition of the money
market as to whether or not there is
or is not sufficient quantity Of
money in circulation to do all legiti.
mate business.

/ have been advocating that state,

safely purchased by the government.
Senator Bacon now purposes to use
them as security for additional cur

drich will agree to that. We do not
disagree that these bonds may be
used, but We disagree as to the way
they are to be used, and the kind of
currency that the government shall
issue.
Purchasing these bonds when neces-
| Sary to increase the quantity of paper
money is one thing, and merely hold
ing these bonds as an excuse for do
mating the use of paper money to
their owners, as Senator Bacon wants
to do, is a vastly different PROPOSE
ton.
The government should deal in
these bonds in a business way for
two purposes.
f1rst, as means of ascertainiHg
whether there is any idle capital; if
so, giving it the first chance to pur-
chase these bonds, and if not taken,
then the government should take
them if possible without increasing
the quantity of paper money, but to
issue more paper money If necessary
rather than see legitimate business
come to a standstill for want of a
lawful money to do the business with.
Second, for the five per cent inter-
est, which should be collected, and
pad into the United States treasury
for the benefit of the government
purely in a business way.
Then issuing legal tender paper is
one thing, and issuing promises to
pay gold on demand, as Senator Ba-
con proposes to do, is a vastly differ
ent proposition. The government can
do the one safely; but it can not do
the other safely.
The United States government with
all its power cannot redeem twenty
paper promises to pay gold dollars
with one gold dollar. Issuing more
paper promises to pay gold than you
have gold will force the government
to enter into a struggle for gold with
all the other nations on earth, just
to give gamblers a chance.
But to do SO foolish thing as that,
IN order 10 donate the use or these
promises to pay gold to the owners
of national, state, county or munich
pal bonds, Is not a sane proposition.
If the government has the gold,
why not hand it over in the first in
stance instead of issuing promises to
pay what it has not.
But Senator Bacon takes particular
pains to assure congress that his bill
proposes to donate paper promises to
pay gold, rather than fiat paper
money
{ Does Senator Bacon deny that the
government has the power to craete
legal tender paper money? Certainly
ne will not deny that; because that
question has been established be-
yond legal controversy. Well, that is
fiat money.
Why, then, shall not congress exer-
