light if he adheres to his present in
tention of injecting business methods
into the operation of his department.
HilIes has been confronted with two
serious problems since he took charge.
One relates to the purchase of ic for
the government and the othr is the
enormous Increase in premiums on
government bonds demanded by the
bonding and surety companies of the
United States. -
In the first instance, Hilles, who is
chairman of the new board of awards
recently appointed by President Taft,
discovered what he believed to be an
exhorbitant price paid by the govern
ment for. ice. Upon investigation, sup"
plemented by his previous knowledge
on the subject, he figured that recent
ice company practically 81 a ton,
against 60c a ton which it would cost
the government if it owned it's own
ice plant
He at once figured on the installa-
ton of plants. Congress has not au-
thorized the move, and those who are
familiar with the precedents say no
such appropriation is likely to be made
Hfiles is going forward with the hope
that he may find some way to save
the government millions of dollars a
year, and he is not in the least daunt-
ed by the cry of paternalism.
His ideas are somewhat similar on
the bonding proposition. His course
is not quite so clear, because there
are more obstacles in the way, but he
feels that the. government should be
come it's own bonding agent and save
hundreds of thousands Of dollars an
nually to it's bonded servants, who
are required now to pay from three to
more dollars a thousand dollars for no
better security than the government
itself could give at a premium less
than Coo a thousand dollars.

A New Senatorial Orator

The democrats in the senate h,va
just discovered that they have hoo,
entertaining an oratorical angel I'm.
aWares. A new speaker has come 10
the front in the ranks in the person
of Charles James Hughes, of Denver
Colorado.
He made his debut in a bout with
no less a man than Senator Bailey Of
Texas, whose forensic reputation Is
not limited to this continent, and he
held his own so well in the running
cross-fire of debate that, at the end
he was overwhelmed with congratula.
tions and was acclaimed as a veritaba
acquisition.
Spare of figure. with white hair.
spectacles balanced on his nose. and a
rotund volume of voice, Mr.. Hughes
made a striking appearance in this, his
maiden effort. Never hesitating for
word, and usually choosing just that
one which would, with nicely, convey
most clearly his meaning, he showed
a command of language and power Of
expression which readily put him in
the front rank of senatorial orators
There was neither rant nor herOics in
his manner of delivery, his diction was
easy, and he depended for effect upon
the forcefulness of phrase and the
appropriate use of adjectives.
Although a novice in the senate, Mr.
Hughes has had long practice in pub
lie speaking. In the first place he
is a lawyer as we'll as a politician. He
is also a lecturer, having delivered
courses upon mining and irrigation
law at Harvard law school.

Got Ii On Japan.

Although the intelligence has not yet
dawned upon most people, there is a
we'll settled conviction among the in
siders in the game of world politics
that Secretary of State Knox has exc
cuted a neat coup on Japan by boost
ing the game of American finance in
China and securing for American bank
ers a Tportion of the loan for, the
HankoW railroad extension. Z i -
Diplomatically speaking, it amounts
to putting a spoke in the japanese
wheel There have been no Outcries on
the part of the Japanese press. The
mikado has been busy reading dis
patches from Admirals URN and Ijichi
duties he is a damn fool; If he raises
telling about the hospitality of Ameri-
cans On the surface, Japan is tickle d
to death with verything-except, per-
haps Hawaii. Those who know how to
interpret the silence of the Japanese
press, however, as we'll as its utter
ances-it is absolutely obedient to the
will of the state-see in this silence
chagrin and utter rOut. 1t is evident
that the oriental government regards
the coup as of such Importance that
the newspapers have not been allowed
to comment upon it. The report of
the new policy to promote American
received with utter silence.
How this could be explained in any
other way than the supposition that
the government has muzzled the press.
nobody of the western world knows.
Japans pet project is the commercial
development of China. They have
kept at it in and out of season, in
some instances going to such an ex-
tent in favoring Japanese merchants
that protests have been made to their
governments by the merchants of other
nations. The action of Secretary Knox,
therefore, constitutes no less than
putting a finger in the pie. Japan's
own particular pie, too.
1t is not too late to expect some
counter move on the part of Japan.
The participation of Americans in the
present loan is but the opening incl
dent in a campaign of commercial ag-
gressiveness and there will be time for
Japan to devise some scheme of her
own to contract the influence of the
United States gained in the celestial
kingdom in this fashion. The aim of
ehe state department is to secure for
America a rightful share in the gov
ernmental loans for thesup-building of
the awakening empire. 1t wants to see

projects, American materials used for
