With regard to the recent popula-
6ion census of the islands that was
taken, Mr.. Victor S. Clark, executive
officer of the Board of immigration,
when seen yesterday afternoon, said
that so far no figures had been for
warded. He added that ne did not eX-
pect that these would be received for
some time. AS far as he knew it would
not be until October next. That was
the month he understood they were
y due in, and so far as he was aware, no
alteration had been made.
Mr.. Clark, of course, could not speak
with accuracy on the matter, but he
felt certain that the total would not
exceed 100000. Everybody knew that
the Japanese predominated, and that
there had been a big increase in their
numbers since the last census was
taken. Two or three years ago, there
might have been a diminution, because
they were returning to Japan at the
rate of between 1000 and 5000 per
year. Notwithstanding the fact that
the departures were much greater
than the arrivals, the natural increases
by those resident in the islands were
so great that the numbers had grown
until today, it is certain that they are
in excess of what they were ten years
ago. Then again, there are increases
in the number of Porto Ricans and
Portuguese, while ten years ago, there
were no Koreans here.
Due allowance has to be made for

TAGGART MAY NOT BE OUT.

HE Hon Tom Taggart, who seems to be an
u object Of distrust on the part of many Demo-
Gratis is now hailed as a member of the Down
and Out" Club. At the Indiana Democratic
State Convention. Mr.. Taggart was unable to
win personally falling some thirty votes short
of controlling the convention. His opponents
were led by Governor Marshal and former Con-
gresham Lamb. But although beaten on this
point, Taggart had sufficient strength to prevent
the ndorsing of Marshal for Senator by the
convention, and there was no mention OF Mar
shal as the favorite son of Indiana for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination. The convention
named John W. Kern. Democratic candidate for
Vice President with Mr.. Bryan, as its choice for
Senator in spite of the declination OF Mr. Kern,
who says he does noA,want the honor.
1t seems that Kern is the right hand lieutenant
of Taggart in Indiana politics Kern has been
counsel for Iaggart in his business enterprises,
and is a friend of the former national chairman
SO it may happen, after all, that Taggart will
control the Democrats in the next legislature,
and it would be an easy matter for Kern to step
aside and permit Taggart to grasp the Senatorial
toga. Taggart is not vet down and out by any
means. The legislature will be under no obli-
cations to follow the advice of the convention as
to the election of a successor to Senator Bever-
idge
The split among the Democrats must carry
comfort 10 the supporters of Beveridge and he
needs it, because he has a hard fight oG his hands.
Beveridge represents the progressive Republi-
cans in Indiana and his only hope of success
must be through a split among Democrats. for
Beveridge will be opposed secretly, if not openly

ROUGH TREATMENT OF A GIRL

X K2IDGEPORT, Conn, has been in peck OF
~ trouble. One of the leading high school
sororities, the Alpha Alpha was founded in
Bridgeport 1t is composed of some OF the
bright girls of the city, who pupils in the
high school. Recently the Bridgeport chapter
initiated a girl who so maltreated that she
became nervous wreck and the authorities have
been making an investigation, with the result
that "social circles of Bridgeport are divided
into two warning camps One side defends the
Alpha Alpha, the other side condemns it.
The young girl initiate was forced to go
through a series Of "stunts" that must open the
eyes Of those who think they know something Of
secret organizations
All sorts of dsagreeable things were given the
girl during her initiation Instead of chocolate
sundae she was forced to drink cocktail made
of moasses, vinegar salt and pepper, and the
white of egg. This was followed by a con-
coction of milk and sugar which she drank from
a nursing bottle. These were Kitchen stunts
She was forced TO eat macaroni that had been
boiled in soap for half an hour, while the girls
danced around her and told her she was eating
angle worms. She was branded with sealing
wax melted by a candle. There were many
similar Stunts and the physician who is attend
ing the victim says il will take her three years to
recover The Bridgeport high school girls have
the college fraternity limitations and those in the
outside fraternitics for that matter, beaten TO a
frazzlc
The school authorities should have no trouble
in deciding upon what to do with the Alpha
Alphas.

ELECTING SENATORS.

Try a small majority the Massachusetts, House
- of Representatives the other day passed
resolution calling on Congress to approve con-
sttutiona amendment which will provide for
the election of United States Senators by the
people, and not by the legislatures
The decision of the Massachusetts legislators
shows how rapidly the sentiment for direct
election of Senators is growing. 1t has not been
worked up much in the Eastern states the cleo
ton plan being urged considerably in the South
and West. In most of those states the political
parties try to get around the present constitu-
tional provision which requires legislative cleo
ton, by having the people either at the primaries
or in state convention express their choice for
Senator. Should the amendment to the consti-
tuition be adopted. it would be a radical departure
from the ideas held by the makers of the con-
stitution.
There has been. however, a strong belief in
many states thatthe present method has resulted
in getting Senators for long terms who do not
represent te people as they should do This
sentiment is but a part of the prevalent opinion
that il Is easy for bosses and machines and organ
izatons TO control. This belief finds further
expression in the agitation for the initiative and
referendum, and the various reforms of which
there is so much talk
And yet under the preserR method, it would
be easy for the voters if they had sufficient
interest Elections under the referendum system
have shown that where there is no personal ele-
0tnl nNOiNtu III al tlNCllOll-lldl II, WHSlN
there are no candidates-the voters will not turn
out.
In the direct election of Senators, some men
have been elected who are no improvement over
those who would have been chosen by the legis-
latures. Some of the Southern selections espec-
tally have not been happy ones. The sentinent
for electing Senators by direct vote is likely to
grow despite objections
Elections by the people would make it impos
sible for state to so for one party and Senator
TO be elected by another In Delaware, foi
instance, it would not be hard for the Republi
cans to carry the state and elect Congressman
while the Democrats at the same election coulC
secure control of the legislature.
1t will be MANY years however, before Con
gress will seriously take up the question o
amending the constitution to provide for drec
vote in choosing Senators.

EASTERN SHORE ROADS.

He people of the Eastern shore of Maryland
\ are interested in road Improvement. A dele
cation from Cambridge visited Baltimore the
other day in furtherance of road construction.
Governor Crothers recently spoke in Cambridge
on good roads and gave practical advice. Incl
dentally. the Baltimore American throws a bou-
qLet at the Eastern shore when it says that what
ever the surface material, the roads of the East
ern shore look good to those who realize that
they are run through the finest counties of the
state
True, and we may say the same OF the rural
parts of Delaware All the rural counties look
good to us, but they would look much better if
they had improved roads. Governor Crothers is
much interested in road improvement and the
American says that one impugn the gen
uineness of the interests of the Governor in his
purpose to make the roads of Maryland the equal
Of any 10 be found elsewhere. 1t is quite the
thing now for the Eastern shore people, who
formerly had to drive their carriages slowly
through retarding sand, to spin over the new
roads in automobiles.
Maryland, says the American, needs good
roads, and those which have been built are prov
ing to be the best kind of investment for tho
benefited communities. The farmers realize
great saving in getting their truck to market an,
the saving of upon vehicles and horses il
also an important advantage to the men who til
the soil.
All that may be Said about Maryland applies
equally to the Delaware counties. The gooC
roads problem is one Of the questions that is tC

Mark Twain was exceedingly particular

hand. being vigorously insistent on paying
to the last cent every dollar of his OBJ
legations His business correspondence fire.

humorous comments and if his literary
executors can obtain any of these letters
II is probable that they will be able to

1t was Mark Twain's custom for num-

The Girl and the Farm.

Baltimore American.
An alumnus Of wellesley College in an
address recently delivered before the un-
dereraduate classes Of that famed insu-
tuition advised The young women who
were casting around for career to take
up farming. She didn't say take up hus-
bandry; there was no frivolous pun in
her recommendation She seriously adj
vised the college girls that in farming
there is an awaiting opportunity worthy
of their highly trained capabilities. and
besides a calling that is not overcrowded
nor likely to be overcrowded.
1t is not known just how many OF the
wellesley girls will take up with the sug-
gestion but there is no corner on farm
ing opportunity; it is inviungly open 10
other girls besides those who viii go out
from the academic shades in the suburbs
of Boston And why should not young
women turn TO farmingi
The charge has been made however,
and seems to rest upon circumstantial evi-
denc. that 30 girls are anxious TO get
away from the farms. 1t Is not the
farm-bred young men alone who arc flock
ing 20 the cities. but also the farm-bred
Young women. 1t has been charged par
/ ticriarlv that the farmers daughters who
are sent away to boarding schools or col
leges lose all taste for the rustic ire
one of the reasons advanced is explain
ing why young men are leaving the
farms is that the young women are not
content to settle down TO the Isolated
and mouotonous duties Of farm life. II
the wellesley girls win only take hoid
of the bacl-to-the-land proposition ana
demonstrate to their unwilling farm-oreo
sisters that farming is an occupation no'
only conducive to physical vigor, but q
noble and joyous pursuit, they viii have
accomplished a practical result which mas
stalled good many Of the philosophers

TIE GOLDEN AGE.


Do you doubt sometimes whether
the world is really growing better?
Well, one of the ways by which we
may find out how far we have gone is
TO look backward.
DR.. Browne Of Boston university
saws, Union college OF New York
was founded by means Of a lottery.
and many other institutions - even
churches 49, used similar methods Of
raising money"
And perhaps you know old men-I do
who can remember that it was
thought to be impossible to harvest
the grain without plenty OF liquors,
and when the minister called to dine
the first proffer Of hospitality was
whisky from a decanter which perma-
nently adorned the sideboard.
Looking backward fifty, a hundred
years, we note a tremendous advance.
Looking further backward, we see saw
agery slowly change TO barbarism and
then to civicism and finally to human
ism.
Better fifty years OF Europe than a
cycle of Cathay."
But better one decade OF America
than a hundred years Of Europe.
Why, think Of 1t! Here is the richest
American dedicating the bulk Of his
immense fortune "to promote the well
being and advance the civilization Of
the people Of the United States"
care not what you think OF the
mans past or his manner OF getting
the money. II he has taken more than
his share Of the national wealth he is
setting an example before the world
in returning It TO the people.
Again does America lead the world
oh, yes; know the spot lights Of the
press thrown upon public and private
life reveal some unpleasant things, bui
those in the hmelight are only an in
fniteslmal fraction of the people.
We are making progress.
The time and space would fail me Il
speak Of the hospitals and the homes
Tor the aged and friendless and OF
phans and the countless humane insti
tutions OF this age.

The ideals of the republic are high.

Hughes to the Supreme Court but the Milton
Times solves the problem to its own satisfaction
The Times says: Governor Hughes of New

ernor Hughes was spoken of as a Presidential
candidate. Taft has pat him out of the way by
appointing him an Associate Justice of the
