HIGH INTEREST.
am surprised at the enormous in
terest which the Koreans are paying.
Loans on good security are made at
from to B per cent q month, and the
unscrupulous Japanese money lenders
are getting much more. 1t is only fair
to say that the natives do likewise. a
common way OF loaning on property is
10 hand over the deed to the house or
lot in case the loan is not paid and as
until now, there have been no means of
registrat ton, this means the transfer of
the property. The Japanese should
protect the Koreans as to such trans
actions. IL they do not, all the lands
and houses OF the country will soon go
into the hands of the former, The
Koreans are great borrowers and they
cannot resist the money ttemptation.
They do not think OF pay day until 1t

meet their obligations.
A NATION OF CHILDREN.
Indeed, it is up to the Japanese gov
eminent to protect tho Koreans from
one class Of its subjects who are now
overrunning this country. The Koreans
are a nation of children. They have
been SO ground down In the past that
they have not learned to hustle and to
look out for themselves. They are
wonderfully gentle and trusting, and
the shrewd Japanese can easily take
advantage OF them. He is doing so
today, notwithstanding the government
tries to prevent 1t, and the authorities
should put on the screws and punish
severely all such offenses. Prince Ito
has tried to do this, even to the extent
of sending back large number Of tho
Japanese who have come here, saying
that they were not fit to be in the
country.
It is this element that knocks the Ko-
rean about. cheats him put Of his
wages, and Il possible, by means OF
leans, takes his houses and lands. 1t
is the low class element among the
soldiers, scattered in small bands over
the country away from their superior
officers, which is leading to the killing
of many Innocent Koreans under the
name OF insurgents; and which, If the
government does not pursue a more
rigid policy, is likely to lose Japan it's
reputation as having the best, the kind
est, the most refined and the most hui
name soldiers OIL earth. Indeed, 1t
seems to me that Japan has In this low
class element which has come to Korea
a problem far more serious than its
people think. If Prince Ito could trans

ANOTHER GREhI CIRCUIT
- COURT Dt CISION.

Less sensational and spectacular, hut
hardly less important than the recent
Standard Oil dissolution decision at st.
Paul, is the finding Of the United
States Circuit Court at Philadelphia.
Just announced, in a railroad rate case.
The Reading railway had sought to
enioin the enforcement of certain rates
prescribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The court declined to en-
join, and dismissed the bill. In doing
so it announced a view of the rate max
ing power of government that, if sus-
tanned, as it probably will be, will
clear away most of the difficulties sur
rounding the whole problem of govern
ment control of rates.
Justices Gray, Burlington, and Ian
ming constituted the court, and they
were unanimous in the decision They
declared rate-making Is not a judicial
function, but legislative The legisla-
ture can fix rates either directly or
through a commission to which power
may be delegated. When such commits
sion has been delegated the necessary
power, and when it acts in accordance
with the laws requirements as to such
details as notice, hearing, etc, then the
court has no business interfering. The
act of the commission becomes law, and
the only ground on which a law may
be set aside is the strictly constitu-
tional ground. In this case, the proof
that the rate was confscatory would
constitute such demonstration Of I'M
constitutionality.
This is a decision, from one Of the
greatest circuit benches in the country.
which clearly points the way. There has
been too much of Federal courts sus-
pending and enjOining the orders of the
commission. If the Supreme Court now
sustains this decision it will have served
notice on the rest of the minor courts
that they have no business recklessly
and thoughtlessly setting aside the or
ders OF the commission Simply because
an attorney chose TO allege that he
didn't ike them. The order of the com
mission is to be treated as law; TO be
enforced till it is proved an uncon-
stitutional law; and the proof must be
made and the whole case adiudicated.
before that can be maintained.
It begins to look as if the courts
would get the problems pretty well
settled before Congress can get around
TO them at the present rate.

NO IMMEDIATE DANGER OF
STARVATION.

Those are highly interesting figures
which the Government Crop Reporter
brings this month, on the per capita
production Of food products in this
country. They indicate that on the
whole the country is producing more
bushels, pounds, bales, and gallons OF
wheat, oats, corn, cotton, milk, eggs.
etc, per capita Of our population than
It ever did before. In other words in
stead of getting nearer starvation we
are getting farther from it year by
year.
But it is true we are exporting less
and less, which leaves the inevitable
conclusion that we are eating more
than ever before
1t Is a very common thing for people
to bemOan our decreasing export OF
foodstuifs as evidence that we are get
ting poorer. On the other hand it is
evidence that we are getting richer. We
have more Of that sort Of thing than
ever; but we don't need to sell IL: we
are become so rich that We can actually
afford to keep it and eat it ourselves.
There was a time when we needed
20 ship our wheat and meat abroad
In order to pay our interest and
balances abroad Well, the interest
charge is vastly smaller against us; the
balance is in our favor; we don't need
the money, and so we are eating and
wearing more Of our products than for
merly.
Consider the case of q farmer with
100 acres of land ard a mortgage on
it. The mortgage is held i'm Holland.
Each year the farme- ships away 2OC
bushels Of wheat to pay interest on
that mortgage; and he fatters himself
that he is mighty wealthy because be
can do it. That's what we used TO do
as a nation.
After awhile he gets the mortgage
half paid of. and he doesn't need to
send but 100 bushels of wheat to Hol.
land annually. Would that be re-
garded by the farmer as an evidence
that he was in worse financial condition
than formerly scarcely. lie would
look about HIM, observe that the farm
wf nearly paid for, the value had adj

WILL MOI ALVI,. CHANGE IN
ANTI-TF UST LAW.

1t has been plain from the time OF
the announcement of the decision in the
Standard Oil case by the United States
circuit court that modification of the
Sherman antitrust law was made inn
possible by that decision. at least in
this session Of Congress. Heads Of big
industrial combinations have been talk
ing diligently about the need for
changes in the law since the decision
was handed down, but apparently have
not comprehended the situation il is
now announced that the President has
concluded not to recommend any
changes in the antitrust law in his
forthcoming message. In this he Is
supported by the Cabinet.
The President feels that it would be
hardly in accordance with the pro-
prieties to advocate changes in the
Sherman law while the construction of
this law is still before the courts. Later
on, after the highest court has passed
on the Standard oil case, ne may adj
wise that changes be made in the Sher-
man statute. but not at present
President Taft's decision in this mat
ter is in the right direction. It would
be unwise and impolitic for him to ad-

THE NATIONAL RIVERS AND
HAkBO S CONGRESS.

The forthcoming convention OF the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
in Washington promises 20 be a gather
ing of the utmost Importance.
Secretary J. +. Ellison is receiving
reports of the most reassuring kind
from all sections of the country, and
says every indication points to the
largest waterway convention ever held.
Several thousand delegates viii be
present.
A thousand delegates are expected
TO represent the Ohio Valley Improve
ment Association alone Five hundred
delegates viii be present from the
Lakes -the-Gulf Association. Governor
Sanders of Louisiana, a stanch friend
of waterway Improvement, has appoint
ed 800 representatives of that State as
delegates President J. Hampton
Moore, of Philadelphia. of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association. is en-
gagged in appointing 200 delegates from
that organization to attend the CON
vention in question.
The Pacific coast viii send the larg-
est delegation that ever was sent to any
distance in a waterway cause. And
similar disposition to send large dele
cations is manifest In every section of
the United States where there is any
prospect or possibility of waterway i'm
provement.
The purpose Of this great meeting,
one of the most remarkable which this
country has ever witnessed. viii be to
influence the Congress of the United
States to declare for a fixed and COM
prehensive policy toward the rivers,
harbors, and canals of the United
States. The National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress, earnestly DESTROYS of
building up a great system of water
ways, is convinced the time for piece
meal improvement and for the con-
tinued employment Of the pork bar'l"
system has passed. It wants Congress
to take action accordingly.
The proportions of the gathering
which viii soon be harbored in Wash
ington and the character of the person
mel which will compose it ought to con-
vince the Congress of the United
States that there Is back of this water
way movement a force Of public senti-
ment that will have to be respected.
