WASHINGTON, March 31.-It is un-

son his determination to appoint him in
ternal revenue collector for Georgia, to
succeed the negro Henry A. Rucker, who
has held the place for IA years. Rucker's
head will fall within few days, maybe
tomorrow.
The final disposition of the collectorship
has been in a chaotic condition ever since

stated on high authority that Coles APP

from the White House last week, when

His aspiration was communicated to

three Of the i've days that Colonel Roose-

turn TO the capital from the provinces.
Then Colonel Roosevelt will go to the
palace.
The emperor will throw court prece-

and the court chamberlains are dismayed
by the emperor's determination to give a
private and non-oficial person precedence
at the dinners and elsewhere over every
body. even the royal princes. The expect

much thought TO the entertainment of
his distinguished American guest, is pre-

A DEFENSE OF WAR.

1t remained for Prof. Edward
Meyer, of the University of Berlin
the kaiser's exchange professor al
Harvard, to come bluntly out at this
day with the declaration of a belief
that war is the greatest human in.
strument of progress. The destruct.
i've power of war, he says, is a ere.
alive power. Stagnation means de.
cay. War, he adds, is responsible
for progress in every direction and
in every human activity, and is
therefore, justifiable. Following
which he falls back on the reitera-
ton of the familiar assertion that
the war with Spain made the United
States a world power.
If peace means stagnation in his
vocabulary, how does he account fol-
the tremendous progress of this coun-
try? If war means progress in
every direction and in every human
activity the United States is stand
ing illustration that it is not essen
tial This nation was a world power

Justice Brewer of the supreme
court has seconded President Taft's
appeal for initiatory steps looking
to a simplification OF legal procedure.
He would provide for but one ap-
peal from the trial judge in all
cases except those in which a con-
stitutional question is involved. The
matter of simplification of legal
procedure is a good one to advocate
because every laymen knows that
In the delays of the law occasioned
by an Anticipated procedure in which
technicalities are resorted to, the

people loose faith in the courts, the

AN OLD GAG.

Senator Hepburn of Idaho fears
that the enactment of a postal saw
ings bank bill will decrease the
rates of interest in securities to such
an extent that the widows and or
phans who have money invested in
them will suffer. The idaho sena-
tor is not the only man In the Unit
ed States who has rung the changes
on the widow and orphan" phrase,
particularly when some remedial
and construction legislation was
proposed. The widow and orphan"
phrase sounds familiar when the
question of rebates and rate regu-
lation was up for consideration a
few years ago. It is singular how
deep soIicitude some men feel for
these unfortunates when an attempt
is made to enact legislation which
will make conditions harmonic with
present day tendencies.
This postal savings bank bill is
a very moderate one. 1t provides
that no deposit larger than 800 may
be made by any individual in one
calendar month and in addition, no
balance larger than $500 may be
carried. Under such provisions, it
is evident that postal savings banks
will net come into competition with
commercial banks to any appreciate
extent. They will, however, provide
a place for the deposit of savings in
which thousands of people will have
confidence who now distrust private
banks of all kinds. The money
which is now boarded will be brought
out OF hiding and put into the chan
nels Of trade. Foreigners in partic-
ular, because of their familiarity
with postal savings institutions on
the continent, will readily deposit
their savings in them. In the far
west in many places where popula-
ton is sparse and savings banks do
not exist. people will avail them
selves OF the privileges of the pos
tai savings bank.

pecially distinguished for the
