EX-GOVERNOR FOLK

At a dinner in st. Louis a few
DAYS ago Ex-Governor Folk, of Mis-
souri,. outlined his platform on
which he proposes to stand as a
presidential candidate in 1912. He
says he stands for equal rights for
all men; that special subsidies be
eradicated; that tariff be levied for
revenue only. He favors the regu-
lation by the government of all pub
lie utilities; he champions the abso-
Lutte rights of the States and the
election of senators by popular vote.
Judge Gaynor. Mr.. Harmon and
possibly others have not as yet an
nounced their platform. But is
not all this little too previous?
There is plenty of time for platform
and candidates. There is many a
slip between the cup and the lip,and
the conditions which may confront
this people now may be forgotten
then and entirely new issues may
spring up, and then the Democratic
platform may contain new planks to
meet the conditions and there may
be new candidates. Two years is a
long time off and many changes may
occur between now and 1912. How
ever, nobody can stop people from
announcing their candidacy and
making their platforms.

telegraph and telephone clauses. which
widely differ In the two bills Other
sections in the house bill cut out by

A provision giving the interstate
commerce commission power to SUI
pervise any new capitalization plans
of carriers.
A provision directing all the MEM
bers OF the supreme court to assign
circuit judges to the new court Of
commerce.
Similarly the senate bill has many
sections at variance with the house
measure. Important amendments were
made. among them being:
A provision placing the burden OF
proof upon the railroads instead OF the
shippers In proposed freight rate In
creases.
A provision prohibiting railroads 10

BAGGAGE THIEF MAKES CONFESSION

George Thomas, the last Of the Miller
gang Of baggage thieves, who was
taken to Richmond Saturday, confessed
in Special Agent L. L. Scherer's office
there that he was guilty Of the charge
of stealing baggage from the Gordons-
vile station. Considering the confess
sion the attorneys for the railroad are
disposed 70 be lenient toward Thomas,
and it Is expected that he will get only
a light sentence.
Thomas is the Oldest of the Miller
gang, and succeeded in eluding the de-
tectives, who have been following him
for two years, until short while ago
when he was arrested in Kingston, N.
Y. He fought extradition, but lost out.
Louis Miller, who was convicted two
years ago, and who has been in the
Virginia Penitentiary, gave evidence
against him on the witness stand.

Ex-President Roosevelt has occu-
pied the enter of the stage of the
civilized world ever since he left the
wilds of Africa, as ne did before he
took to the woods. On our side of
the pond the very life or death Of
insurgency seems TO hang upon the
attitude he will assume when he
gets home, and by the same token
the Taft administration hangs in the
same balance. Strange as it may
seem Mr.. Roosevelt has been abso-
lutely quiet upon American politics
since he left these shores. Appar-
emily he tore himself away in order
to give Mr.. Taft free rein, know
ing that Mr.. Taft could not be look
ed up to as the head of the govern
ment as long as he could be seen and
heard; but it cannot be assumed
that he will long remain silent after
his landing. Indeed he may be ex-
pected to start talking on the gang

as being a near approach to what they
desired. II was also learned that the
Democrats, or at least those who have
led the fight on. the railroad bill on
that side. were prepared to accept the
senate bill rather than take chances
on what a conference between the two
houses would evolve.
The bill reached the house and was
permitted TO lie upon the table. so that
members may have an opportunity to
examine IL before II Is formally laid
before the house. II will be called up

conferees are named no one Is willing

those classified as friendly to the rail-

be named are Senators Elkins. Al

one Democrat.

Conditions In Pennsylvania.

The report has this to say concern
ing conditions in Pennsylvania.
Medical education in the state OF
Penn sylvania presents no unusual
problems from the standpoint OF the
ory. The state is without an educa'
tional system; and the Legislature has
recently refused TO pass bill aiming
to organize the common. secondary
aud normal schools Of the state. Ordi-
nary educational values are therefore
still obscure and confused. Through
the last legislature improved the law
regulating medical education TO the
extent OF making a fuor-year high
school course or its equivalent the le-
gal minimum. the educational disor-
ganizatiOn OF the state makes its en-
forcement problematical.
"The situation so far simplified by
an actual entrance standard. another
topic presses for consideration The
state Of Pennsylvania has for years
been engaged in distributing large
sums to private and semi-priyate char
tiles. These appropriations enabled
several Of the Philadelphia schools to
build and partly to maintain their own
hospitals. That this policy Is thorough
ly eCtionable and demoralizing Is
beyond dispute. The state has neither
right nor business to make presents
to private corporations that 1t can
neither regulate nor control. And the
level of civic life in Pennsylvania has
been greatly lowered by the log-rofiing
and favoritism that the possibilities
Of pull have created.

Carnegie Foundation Raps
Poorly Trained Doctors.
CONDITIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Report Says State Without an Edu'
cational System and There is
No Way to Enforce Legal
Requirements.

New York. June Ga criticism OF
medical education In Pennsylvania Is
contained in report issued by the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment OF Teaching. which has been
studying this subject In the United
States and Canada. From a practical
point of view the situation in that
state is exceedingly difficult the re
port asserts. because IL says the state
is without an educational system and
there is no adequate way to enforce
the legal minimum of a four-year high
school course or its equivalent before
admission to a medical school.
The report gives sympathetic and
cogent statement Of the purpose OF
the investigation in various parts OF
the country. and shows. 1t Is claimed
a surplus of poorly trained doctors In
the United STATES
The significant facts which the re
port proves are. In President Pritch
ett's judgment. these:
There has been for quarter OF
century past an enormous oyer-pro
duction of illtralned doctors.
2-This oyer.supply OF ..ltrained
men is to be ascribed to the existence
OF independent or proprietary schools
commercially managed. and dependent
on fees for support.
3-The cheap quality OF most of the
instruction furnished by medical
schools.
4-The fallacy OF the idea that these
ineffective schools are justified by the
argument that they enable poor boys
to get a chance in the medical profes.
sion.
5-The necessity for a complete re
vision of the arrangements that now
hold as between medical schools and
the hospitals in which their clinical
fnefrupfion Is given

Under the direction of special Unit

cember investigating the sugar trust.
This work has extended to Colorado

eminent went back to 1887. when a
trust agreement was entered into by
eighteen Of the twenty-one sugar fac
tories in the United States.
In 1892 the trust secured control OF
the Independent Philadelphia factor
les, and the government brought suit
under the Sherman antitrust law
against the American Sugar Refining
company. seeking to prevent the COM

government. but the department OF
Justice holds that 1t was abOrtive and
bungled. They look for a more IA

FULL INVESTIGATION MADE
Mr.. Wickersham Will Not Wait For
Decision in Oil and Tobacco
Cases to Start Suit to Dis
solve Sugar Trust.

Washington, June CIT is believed
that Attorney General Wickersham IN
bringing the suit he contemplates
against the American Sugar Refining
company, commonly known as the
trust, for It's dissolution under the
Sherman antitrust law, will proceed
along the lines already taken In the
suits against the Standard Oh and the
American Tobacco company.
The attorney general does not con-
slider II necessary to wait for a de-
cision by the supreme court on the
oil and tobacco cases before similar
action against the sugar trust. It Is
his desire to have this latest case we'll
along In the lower courts when the SUI
preme court announces its decision In
the two cases now pending before that
tribunal
The new action against the sugar
trust will be Independent of the civil
and criminal cases now before the
courts for false weighing and custom
frauds. II will also be entirely indie
pendent of the prosecutions growing
out of the case of George II. Earle, Jr.,
as receiver Of the Real Estate Trust
company. OF Philadelphia. against the
American Sugar Refining company.
The prosecution will go to the root Of
the organization Of the sugar trust on
specific charges OF monopollzing the
entire United States trade and COM
merce in refined sugar
