The Japanese are good railroad construc-

bridges with the finest OF stone work
abutments, and are finishing them with
steel work made In America, The roads
are ballasted with quartz and other hard
rock, broken into pieces the size OF a sugar

The japanese officials tell me that the

and they expect TO make 1t a great bust

harbors on the western Pacific. 1t is free
from ice the year round, and ships draw
ing thirty feet can enter at low tide. They
can land at the immense docks and piers
and unload their freight directly into the
cars. Talienwan bay, upon which the
harbor is situated, comprises many square
miles. and the deep water area is big
enough to handle the shipping of all China
The harbor has granite wharves with
vertical faces Of twenty-eight feet depth
at low water. These wharves are more
than a half mile in length. and there are
others. almost a mile long, accommodating
ships up to drafts of twenty-five feet. The
narrowest of the wharves are about 400
feet wide, and the railway tracks run out
upon them. The wharves are lighted with
electricity and the hannels by gas buoys.
Steam cranes move on tracks up and down

New Dalny.

Indeed, Dalny is becoming a new city
under the rule of the mikado. The Rus
SLAMS spent something like $40. Oo0,00 o in
dredging the harbor. in erecting huge
granite docks and in putting up magnifi-
cent buildings for their offices and homes.
When the war closed a large part of the
city had been burned. The roofs were
off many OF the houses. The Chinese had
carried away the doors and windows, and
had even tried to steal the Russian stoves.
In the residence section the most of these
damages have since been repaired and a
new town n rising between that place and
the harbor. There are fifteen brickyards
now making building materials. and hun

The Tariff Must Be Reduced.

Senator Aldrichs remarks in the
tariff debate seem to show that he
does not feel bound, through party
pledges, to a general reduction of
tariff taxes.
Yet that is exactly what every Re-
publican speaker, from Mr. Taft down.
bound the Republican party in the last
campaign to do. With that plain un-
derstanding the Republican party was
continued in power by the people.
To say this is not to say that every
rate should be reduced. But the pledge
was to make important reductions
and, in general, to revise downward.
That pledge was accepted in good
faith by the people, and their approval
of it was recorded. And the will Of
the people, expressed with delibera.
tion, is the supreme law.-Chicago In.

What About the ProsperitY7

What about the great prosperity
which was promised to the people in
the event of Republican victory?"
This is Mr. Bryan's question. He asks
it in the Commoner.
Well, the great prosperity which
was promised is on the way. 1t is
coming as fast as it can. But mas.
much as it took about four years of
onslaughts to drive off prosperity, it
requires somewhat more than a year
to bring it back.

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.
Minority Leaders Will Make Serious
Mistake If They Resort to Dill
atory Tactics.

Democratic senators cannot materi-
ally strengthen their party by holding
conferences on their course of action
while the tariff bill is under considera-
tion. No parliamentary strategy will
give them an advantage in the man
agement of the bill They have not
the numbers and they have no we'll
knit policy. The tariff is in the hands
of it's friends, the Republicans.
All of the Democrats naturally share
in the indignation expressed by Sena-
tor Daniel, when he bitterly com
planned because measure of the
highest rank in Importance, embracing
the special purpose of the session, had
been prepared without consulting the
senators on the Democratic side. The
contemptuous treatment of the minor
ity was explained by Republicans, who
said that there was an urgent necessity
of completing the bill as soon as pos
sible. The Democrats had no purpose
except to create embarrassment and
delay, they said, and the country de-
manded promptness.
This Republican explanation of a
summary course toward the Democrats
suggests the point at which the Demo
Gratis may make the serious mistake
of their programme. If these confer
ences and councils on the Democratic
side are to produce no results except
a series of long speeches and dilatory
tactics, the party will make more enc
mics than friends among the people.
Nine voters out of ten are now i'm
patient to "have the thing over" Par
liamentary maneuvers do not interest
them in the least. Speeches do not
interest them in any greater degree.
They know that a hundred resolu-
tions, motions and speeches will not
change a senatorial vote or a tariff
schedule. The senator or group of
senators responsible for delay will
be by business men regarded as a
public enemy. 1t is reasonable for
Democratic senators to declare their
basis of opposition to the bill, but
the less time they occupy beyond
what is required to make their party
meaning clear the more of popular ap-
proval they will have at the close of
the session

Boston consumes half a million
bushels of baked beans annually. This
is equal to 10000 900 quarts, and there
are indications that the supply hardly
conforms to the demand. Baking the
beans is the great Boston industry,
and further statistics show that in the
process of preparation the beans are
increased in bulk until the finished
product becomes 100000 quarts.
Over $2O,000,0O yearly is spent for the
edible. These carefully prepared fig
ures are official and show supremacy
IN bean consumption. Incidentally
they point the way for other communi.
ties which would initiate Bostons in

MRS. CoTTLE'S RULE.

Mrs. Franklin d. Cottle of New York
city celebrated her one hundredth
birthday recently by taking a long
automobile ride and giving a long
newspaper interview. On the subject
of her extraordinary longevity she ut
tered words that should give hope and
consolation to the many who are daily
harassed and pestered by all sorts of
experts telling them TO be sure to do
this and to be sure not to do that
under penalty of shortening their
lives. She said: Il never lived by rule.
l ate what | liked, wore what l liked
and lived a Christian life" TO be
sure. She did what she liked that be-
came Christian woman in a Christian
land and with moderation. She had
no fixed rules beyond these, and she
looks back over hundred years, with
their joys and their sorrows, with con-
tentment, and forward to the future
with tranquility. We question that
there is a better line of conduct for
long and happy life, or a better rule of
life, than a due combining of Christian
virtues and common sense.

Justice and Economy.

BY the emphatic statement that his
appointments to the federal bench will
be determined by himself, with refer
ence only to the fitness of the men Sc.
lected, President Taft associates his
administration once more with the
vital idea of judicial reform. He has
already noted the wrongs that follow
in the train of excessive delay and
cost in the administration of justice.
An important step toward improve
ment in these respects is taken when
judicial appointments are removed
from the sphere of political rewards.
Long a judge himself, no spokesman is
in position to advise Mr.. Taft as to
the merits of candidate. Party
service, indeed, is probably the worst
qualification that a man seeking a
Judicial career can urge.
Taking this policy in connection
with the emphasis which the presi.
dent has laid upon just taxation and
economy in public expenditures, true
Democrats as we'll as Republicans can.
not fail to find much that is reassur-
ing in the purposes of the new admin
istration. These principles lie at the
foundation of good government. Where
justice is administered promptly and
cheaply, where the burdens of taxa
tion are fairly distributed and where
expenditures are carefully made, all
else that is desirable in the public
service is easily possible. With these
fundamentals disregarded, privilege
- L,
come paramount
Addressing himself at the threshold
of his administration to these whole
some ideas, Mr. Taft reveals a percep-
ton of duty which is as creditable to
him as it is full of promise to his
country-New York World.

Study of the Antique in Politics.

There are fine old Democratic hunk
ers here and there, like the govern
ors who wrote or spoke to the Jeffer-
sonian diners in this city the other
night, who talk as though the Democ
racy was still the party of a reformed
tariff for revenue only on the basis
of economically administered govern
ment, but their utterances compare
pitifully with the facts. The party, in
its platforms, while denouncing the
extravaganza of Republican admins
tration, has proposed heavy increases
in the burden of governmental expend-
iture. The party in congress has
scrambled for its share of pork and
shut up about it so long as it got it,
and Democratic votes have helped to
put through measures of extravaganza.
The party howls about the robbery of
Republican protection, and Democrats
in the house of representative fall
over one another in the scramble to
vote for it.-New York Evening Sun.

The whole matter of tipping is
wrong. The man who is compelled to
give is mulcted and the man who is
asked to receive is insulted, whether
he knows it or not 1t may never be
possible to correct the evil of tipping
by legislative enactments, but it can
be curtailed by individual habit. The
sentiment against it is growing. Peo-
pie will continue to make small pres
ents to faithful servants as long as
some men are born to serve and some
to be served, but the time is coming
when they will do so only through
choice and not from compulsion. The
porter, like the waiter and the barber
and the hackman has been led to look
upon the tip as his right, and one to
play or fight for. In the revulsion of
feeling which has come over the pub
lie because of the growing demands for
tips on the part of the serving classes,
the porter must suffer with his fellows.

Reading.-A phenomenon which has
been attracting the attention of hun
dreds in the northeastern part of the
city is the appearance of the figure of
a man, who died last October on the
window pane of his residence. The
police have been called upon several
times to check the curious ones, who
have pulled down fences. Oliver d.
Angstadt, a tailor, died of typhoid fe-
yer. Recently his daughter Stella saw
the face of her father at a rear sec
ond story window. She told the other
members of the family what she had
seen and they became alarmed. 1t is
alleged that the apparition was seen
at the same window several times.
Residents declare they have seen Mr.
Angstadt's picture on the window pane
very plainly. Mr. Angstadt was fond
of watching storms and lightning. The
belief is that by a strange freak of
nature his features were photographed
on the window pane and the sun has
developed it. The apparition appears
in broad daylight.

Some years ago the Brooklyn street
cars killed so many children that pub.

speed schedules. Now the child-kiu.

the automobiles, as three children have

speeding motor cars within a week.
Evidently drastic measures are re-

to remain a constant menace to the
safety of the public.
