NATIONAL. IInLIClTX
Truly

II is the vice, or the virtue Of a representa-
tive government that public affairs Of national
moment are administered FOR the most part with
the greatest publicity. Especially is TINS true
in all cases involving appropriation OF the pub
lie moneys through the medium Of Congress
slonal statues 1t cannot, and ought not to BE-,
otherwise The moment that it is possible for
the country to be committed to policy unknown
to the people at that moment Capitalization be-
comes a fact instead OF q theory
Secretary of War Dickinson erred egregionslH
in his effort to submit to a House Of more than
four hundred i confidential" report 1t Is to
hc supposed that he had no intention Of beeom-
ing an alarmiat or Of forcing the hand Of the
country TO war measures by the fears OF Il
lingo point Of view. 1t Is inconeeisable that
he should have fathered such purpose, ana
the remarkable taken i'll laying before
Congress what ne conceives to be the duty Of
national defense shows that he wished 10 have
his recommendations dealt with in a manner
Intended To prevent Just such a result.
The folly was that the means adopted produced
the very effect which they designed to fore
see and prevent The genius of government and
legislation with us is ANYTHING but secret, When
secrecy is imposed AS a condition to eommuni-
cation 10 the popular House, the condition it
self is the best aid to a wide publicity and com
ment.
We have no fant to find with the substance
OF the report which after all only states what
every fairly well informed man knows. This
country is, i'll fact, open to temporarily sue
cessfal attack from any of the great world powers
that may be foolish enough to put itself to the
test Of War with people whose presidents and
resources would compel them TO fight such a
war TO the end Of however bitter & success All
that is said of the helplessness OF the Pacific
coast from strategical point OF view IL truth
Of common report 1t may not be denied that
Japan for Instance could with comparative ease
capture the whole Pacific slope and hold II

not be denied that many another important nort

RADFORD FOLK HAVE

RADFORD, VA. Dec. 15.--Peti-
lions are being circulated here ask
ing Judge Cassett. of the Corpora
ton Court. TO declare the seats of
the members Of the council vacant
and order a new election. The petit
tiGn sets out that there has been no
meeting OF the body in three months.
The petitioners do not recognize
the council as constituted by the East
Ward members. and from which tho
West Ward members have regularly
absented themselves. as being a legal
~ constituted body.
Both sides are fortified by legal
opinion, and II appears that only d
courts adjudication on that point or

GIFTS FROM THE STEEIMASTE.R.

The $1o000.0o0 gift of Andrew Carnegie 10
the peace of the world, is one of the results
rather than it may be expected to be one of the
things making for results, of the new conception
Of national relations.
Peace is we'll OF the way when like Car
negie sees in its promotion the means To the
hope of posthumous fame toward which he is
directing his energies. The little steelnlaster
has now given in benefaetions the enormous total
in money of about s1So,o0o.00e There is small
doubt that in the final disposition OF his wealth
by will he will make requests to humanity
which viii make all that he has given hereto
fore seem small by comparison In the work Of
the libraries and Institutions which he has
founded, in the good accomplished through the
medium of his multitude of gifts for philan-
thropic purposes. he has already achieved
an inestimabe good No doubt when the final
protocol of the world peace shall find all the
nations sgnatories at the Hague, his name
viii be illumincd in bright colors among the
list OF notables making for such an achievement
But it would be as foolish to say that, in such
an event, Carnegie or bis money made peace
that he and his donations accomplished ne
learning and created the culture which his lept-
factions materially help forward.
The point is that Carnegie does not lead in
peace, any more than he leads in letters He
merely recognizes and accepts the DEVELOPMENT
of ideals which develop without him II is true
that he and does emphasize this development
and make it easier. II is true that he makes
easy the way Of effort with gold and that he
makes progress more swift by removing the diff
lcultes which In the beginning are necessary to
progress But make a mistake IT, either in
the case Of Carnegie or Rockefeller wo see in
the institutions they have founded and the re-
form they encourage benefits which without them
would not have been obtained
In the deeper sense, there is an even more
definite obligation than the trusteeship of great
wealth to humanity that makes donations Of this
character merely the payment of debt by the
men who have garnered the gold Of the world
What others have done despite gold thew NAV

they have of making money. comes to them

ton, asking complete information re-
garding the children OF Italian birth or
parentage attending the public schools
OF Salt Lake.
In the request for the information the
commissioner asks the respective num-
her of boys and girls proportionately in
the various grades, the general stan
dard Of health, cleanliness. ability and
discipline of the Italian children in the
schools. and any expression Of opinion
as TO the children themselves, the at
titude Of the parents towards truancy.

Supt Christensen has sent a COM
plete report OF the Italian children in
each OF the grade schools. While pro-
portionately there are comparatively
few Italian children attending
the schools. the report shows
that the majority Of them come
well up 10 the standard, and that
the parents have an appreciative feel
ing towards the opportunity given the
children in the schools. Truancy among
the Italians attending the schools IS
rare, and tho pupils for the most part
are tractable.
