The following general provision OF
the Rhodes scholarship will interest

ward A. Alderman, University of Vir-

mlttee in this state:
Cecil Rhodes. statesman, who died
at Cape Town, South Africa. March 20,

1899, that a part of his fortune. eati.
mated at si0,000.00o, should be applied
to the creation of a fund for tho sup
port OF certain number of scholar
aiips covering three years course at
the University of Oxford. He directed
that the recipients OF this gift should
be made two from each State and Ter
ritory of the United States. or 100 In

one to nine from each of the British
colonies. Tho scholarships are awarded

working plan by which the welfare
of incoming Jewish immigrants may
be safcguarded. If the Jews are able
to improve the condition OF those Of
their own race who come to America
they will take burden from the gov
what is now one of our most perplex-
ing national problems.
The crowding of immigrants into
the cities Is one of the worst features
OF bad immigration law. OF the 700,-
900 foreigners who come into this
country every year as permanent set
tiers, more than 1919 remain in the
city. These men are unskilled laborers
in most instances, strangers in a
strange land, unused to American
living and unable to cope with the
eNacting conditions of our civilization
They are forced to live by themselves
in crowded tenements and are COM
PEELED to work long hours at trying
trades. Their Transformation into use
ful American citizens Is retarded and
their value to the community and to
the Nation is reduced.
We sincerely trust that the B'nai
Birth Committee will be successful,
and we welcome this activity as new
token of what the enlightened Jews
Of America are doing to upbuild our
country. The Bnai Birth deserves the
commentator OF the country, and it's
members deserve the hearty approval
and tie sympathetic cooperation of
ali good citizens.

large the powers Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission that tt would be
but a small step before that body could
FIX rates for pullman service according
to the actual traffic and earnings of
the company of all It's lines.
There is little prospect that the
railroad senators will permit this, but
there Is a prospect that the relief
which the public needs will come
through tlfe voluntary action Of the
Pullman Company. IT was reported
some days ago that If the Interstate
Commerce Commission decided that
lower rates should be charged for
upper berths, the company would take
this as he sense OF the court and
would regulate its rates accordingly.
This would lie an act of grace. but

LOWER RATES FOR UPPER
HEkYIIS.

The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in lowering the
rate of upper berths of certain Pull
mans will be welcome news to every
man who has been compelled to pay
his good dollars for suspension some
where between the roof of the car
and the floor. 1t will mean that when
a man goes into a Pullman car and
finds all the lower berths occupied he
may console himself While he climbs
the ladder to his upper with the
thought that he does not have TO pay
as much for his nights rest as the
man below him.
Unfortunately this decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission Will

From ST. Paul to Chicago. to Superior

Conditions on no two railroaos arr

cars on different lines vary greatly

NEW YoRK's SUNDAY.

New York was dry last Sunday, or
at least the city was not very wet. 1t
was possible for a man to get drink
in Raines-law hotel or at some es-
pecally fortunate saloon, but most OF
the bars We're closed. This was due
to the uncertainty which pervaded the
atmosphere of New York as the result
of Mayor ciaynor's closing order OF
last week. Not knowing what might
happen, tho saloon keepers took no
chances. or course, they will not re-
main closed every Sunday as they
were last Sunday, and the chances are
that liquor will be sold freely in New
York on the sabbath day before many
weeks have passed; but the general
consensus OF opinion seems to be that
Mayor Gaynor's rule will have some
effect in lessening the evils of Sunday
selling.
AS the plan is discussed in the
papers The Justification Of the Mayor
| in taking such a radical step seems
| greater Mr.. Gaynor did not call off

main open. He forbade the officers 70

THE COLONEL AND r,NcHor.

1t is all fixed up now one way or
another. Clifford Pinchot has met the
Colonel and has told him all about it.
Gif came down from Berlin to Porto
Maurizio and found his Master await
Ing him They chatted for a rev mo-
ments where the uninitiated could
hear them. and then retired into the

documents containing the story Of
how Ballinger went wrong. Nobody
knows what happened behind those
itative when the interview was over,

spondents failed to elicit word. and
| the only thing the Colonel would say
was that Il am ready for a good

is such that we refuse to reveal the
purport OF this esoteric remark
But what did happen behind closed
/ doors while reporters stalked the floor
and held their breath in their efforts
to catch u word from within? OF
course, Gift told 1t all-told how he

/ and in the great. and how he hat
stood on the burning deck whence al
others had fed, how he had withdraw
! lands without the sanction OF the Law
J and how he had done everything elst
| that he thought Roosevelt would hav'
wanted him to do. Then came CUES
tions from the COMMUNICATIONS a

forsaken Pinchot, as to how Ballinge
