PERSONAL NOTES.

The Philadelphia health authorities arc
doing some wholesale vsccinating among
the people Of that burgh, who doubtless
find II a pleasant variation Of their tag
day experiences.
Charles Green Bush. for years a leading
csrtoonist OF this country, died Friday
night at Camden. s. c., OF heart trouble,
after an illness which had incapacitated
him from doing but little work for several
years. He was horn in Boston in 1st2.
A Chicago woman made her husband buy
her seven hats in a month. her simple
process for accomplishing this being to
destroy a hat every time she got angry
and to get angry every time she wanted a
new hat. In applying the system the first
essential is to get that sort of a husband.
Albert e. Herpin. New Jerseys sleep
less wonder has turned inv entor. lie
says his wekefulness has made his fortune.
He has invented a process for underglaze
photography, by which he asserts he can
reproduce portraits on chinsware at about
the same cost as placing a photograph on
paper.
The famous Arab, lEzet Pasha, head Of
Abdul Hands secret police. who fled to
London on the proclamation of the
Turkish constitution last July TO escape
the fury Of the mob, has now fought re-
fuge in Paris. He may be seen dining in
secluded corners Of the boulevard restau-
rants, apparently stunning notice as much
as possible.
A monument to the genuine negro poet,
Paul Laurence Dunbar, Is to be unveiled
Sunday, June 8, his birthday. Addresses
will be made by Prof. w. S. Scarborough
of wilberforce university. Bishop David w.
Moore and Rev. w. D. Clarke. The mem
orial is a fine granite bowlder. bearing a
bronze plate on which is engraved a verse
from Dunbar's Death Song"
President Taft. who will attend the fifth
annual convention OF the Associated WEES
tern Yale clubs at Pittsburg next Satur-
day. has also accepted a congregational
invitation to attend services next Sun
day morning at the First Unitarian church.
While in Pittshurg President Taft will be
the guest OF Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas X.
Laughlin. Mrs. Laughlin is a sister of
Mrs. Taft.
Emilio Aguinaldo. commander-ln-chief of
the native forces during the period of the
insurrectlon, has left for Bagnlo to pass a
week as the guest OF Vice-Governor W.
Cameron Forbes at the ~latter's country
place. This is Aguinaldo's first visit to the
northern mountains since his memorable
retreat in that direction with several col
umns of American troops in pursuit.
Aguinaldo has been recently engaged in
planting at Cavite, having withdrawn from
public life.

In Illinois.

The i~ong-drawn senatorial deadlock
in Illinois has resulted as such dead
locks most often do-in the election
of a dark horse candidate who was not
in the original list of entries.
In Illinois the possibility of a dead
lock was supposed to have been fore
closed by the enactment of a primary
law providing for a preference vote on
senator to determine the nominees of
the respective parties. The result of
the primary was to give former United
States Senator Hopkins a decisive
plurality on the republican side, and
had the primary vote proved effective
he would have been promptly re-
elected. Yet after futile balloting for
more than four months the senatorship
has been awarded to Congressman
William Lorimer by a coalition of re-
publican and democratic votes.
Under these conditions the demo-
Gratis who have been loudest in their
talk about letting the people rule will
not be able to chide the repu blicans
for ignoring the preference expressed
at the primaries of their own party.
In his speech of acceptance Senator
Lorimer reafirms his party allegiance
as a republican, so that the democrats
who voted for him can labor under no
delusion an to his political Affiliations
past and future.
Senator Lorimer has had a remarka-
BILE political career, climbing from the
bottom to the top of the political lad
der by his own almost unaided efforts.
He has been a politician, taking part
in every fight, accumulating most de-
voted adherents and also most bitter
enemies as he went along. He has
not distinguished himself particularly
by his service in congress, nor does he
measure up to the grade of statesman
ship which Illinois would be expected
to contribute to the senate. And yet
he will not suffer by comparison with
Senator Hopkins, whom he succeeds.

ANOTHER LrauoR DECISION.
No New PrincipIe Invoived In the
High Courts Decision,
Pittsburg Dlspatch,

Pittsburg Dispatch.
No new principle Is involved in the liquor
shipment case decided by the supreme court
" the United States against the state Of
Kentucky. II is but a new affirmation
OF the Interstate principle. first
stated in the lows original package case.
The court holds that a state law Is pow
eriess to prevent interstate shipment,
which is guaranteed by that clause OF the
constitution which says that trade between
states shall be free, and that no state
shall pass any law 20 the contrary. Ken
lucky has but given another illustration
of the reckiessness OF state legislatures in
passing clearly unconstitutional bills in the
face OF better advice.
The decision does. however. give point
to the position taken on this subject in the
United states senate by Secretary Knox
while a member OF that body He decided
that a proposition to prohibit such ship
ments would not be sustained. And he
pointed out that the most that could be
accomplished along that line, without an
amendment to the constitution. would be
to prohibit carriers from completing a
transaction Of barter. That is. the express
companies could be prevented from ac-
cepting shipments to indefinite c%onsignors
and from delivering to any but those
clearly nominated In the way bill. In the
light Of this decision there can be no doubt
that Senator Knox was absolutely right.

Philadelphia Record.


Mr.. Rodman Wanamaker's proposal to
erect in New York harbor a monument
to the aborigines is arousing a good deal
of interest. 1t is a picturesque idea TO
perpetuate In art the memory of the race
that inhabited this country before the
white man came. 1t might be regarded
also as in sme sense a p%enttential act,
for the treatment Of the red mar as of
the black man, is a deep stain on the
history OF white civilization. 1t was wan
ton, too. With all their savager the In
dams were overawed by the white men,
and when treated honestly and kindly
were friendly and helpful. The Quaker
government of this colonly found it pos
sible to live p%eaceably with all men, even
Indians. In other parts of the country,
too, the Indians were little disposed to
resist the invader except when Infatuated
by personal outrages. frauds and the dis
possession of their lands.

Proposed Emergency Currency.

The inherent weakness of our cur
rency system came so prominently to
the fore during the panic of 1907 that
a demand was made upon congress for
the immediate passage of a bill permit
ting of more elasticity to meet just
such conditions as hen existed. After
much discussion an emergency cur
rency law was finally passed and a
commission created to recommend fur
Their changes in our currency system to
make 1t conform with modern require
ments. Immediately after the passage
of the bill the Treasury department set
about preparing the plates and print
ing the emergency notes, which task
after a years labor has beer COM
pleted. There is now in the treasury
$500, 600, 900 in currency subject to
requisition-an amount approximately
equal to the present national bank cir
culation.
The banks are repeating the story
of the man with a leaky roof-when it
was raining he could not fix it and
when 1t was not raining it did not need
fixing. With the single exception no
banks have taken any steps to avail
themselves of the privileges of the new
law. With the passing of the panic
furry and it's attendant pressure for
money the whole matter has passed
into history and the bankers are wait
ing for the monetary commission to
report and for congress to provide a
permanent system of currency re-
sponsive to the needs of business.
1t is to be hoped that there will be
no need at any time to draw on the
$500. 100000 OF emergency currency
now reposing peacefully in the treas
ury vaults, but the mere knowledge
that it is there should be helpful In
preventing any call for it.

permitted, will milk the treasury dry
and when no more plumber remains
there they will become revolutionists
again. It is such a condition which is
feared in Washington and which would
render IL necessary to intervene unless
the local government should develop
real strength.
Cuba was restored to the people with
the best wishes OF the United States,
and a condition demanding interven-
ton again would be a source of disap-
pointment and regret. The United
States, however, is sponsor to the
world for peace and order in Cuba and
cannot permit 1t to sink to the old-time
level of Hayti and San Domingo, where
political chaos was constantly the rule.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-28
Problems for Cuba.

There are indications that the ma
chinery of the Cuban republic is not
running as smoothly as was hoped and
that the government at Washington is
watching the drift of affairs with inter-
est If not concern. When Uncle Sam
turned affairs over to the Cubans he
left the island in peace, its administra-
tion we'll ordered, its financial outlook
&c cd and with well-matured plans for
future development. According to the
best estimates the necessary expendi-
lures would be approximately S24,-
OOO, zee and the $50 600, 600.
Included in the estimate of expendi-
lures was a liberal amount for sewers
in Havana and other cities and for the
prosecution OF sanitary work under
taken during American occupation and
absolutely necessary for the well-being
of the country. o.
Instead of following the disinter-
ested advice of the outgoing American
officials, the Cuban government has
sQuandered its revenues in the pay
ment Of a horde Of useless officials. an
army has been created far beyond the
requirements and the legislature itself
has absorbed al undue proportion of
the governments resources. Malad-
ministration has caused a decrease in
revenues and these wasteful expendi-
lures have brought the republic face
to face with a deficit of approximately
$40, 200. 600.
There is evidence that some of the
native leaders appreciate the situation,
but they are apparently powerless to
stem the tide. The long period of IN
rest and revolution in the island has
created a class of adventures who can
be appeased only by making it more
profitable for them TO be peaceful than
TO be re, olutionists. These leeches, II

LUMBER TARIFF COMPROMISE.
A Reasonable Reduction as Far as
IL Goes.
Chicago Record

IL UOess
Chicago Record-Herald.
When a tariff provision or amendment
is adopted or defeated In a way to
emphasize the Aldrich grip or the fanati-
cism OF the standpatters the judicious have
every reason to grieve. Such a result gem
orally represents the triumph of an ag-
gressive interest" over the interests OF
the ultimate consumers, so-called, and of
the reasonable producers who are satisfied
with moderate and legitimate protection.
There is nc occasion for sorrow, how
ever. in the defeat of the free lumber
amendment. The vote discloses no sinister
division, while the arguments, even II not
always persuasive or even ineligible,
have the right ring.
A 81 tariff on lumber would be an out
rage on the consumer and a danger 20 the
forest resources OF the nation. To free
unbe there is undoubtedly, as Mr.. Dol
liver said, earnest opposition even among
those who have expressed grave apprehen-
sion at the threatened destruction of their
forests. Moreover, democratic senator's
may feel, with Mr.. Bailey. that lumber
may be properly taxed for revenue pur-
poses.
The case is one in which a compromise
Is wise and honest. The house schedule,
which cuts the duty on rough lumber in
two while leaving the differential un-
touched, may be accepted as the iRht com
promise. The president has said explicitly
that under no circumstances and under
no cloak would he favor a 50 rate on lum-
Der, but that is as far as he has gone.
II an attempt should be made later to
raise the rate to $50 1t is to be hoped
that the progressives will combine to de-
feat the scheme. 1t won't do to spoil a
reasonable and satisfactory compromise.
