EDITORS SEEM TO FAVOR TAFT
SOME ARE FOR THEODORE
ROOSEVELT.
Believe Mayor Gaynor of New York
Will Be Democratic
Opponent.

New York, April 2S.-A national po-
litical forecast of the year 1912 was
made by several of the most prominent
newspaper men in the United States
who are in New York for the annual
meeting of the Associated Press.
The western and middle west editors
and publishers, with one notable eX-
ception-Colonel Nelson of the Kansas
City Star-declare a belief that Presi-
dent Taft will be the candidate Of the
republican party again. Colonel Mel
son is unqualified for Mr.. Roosevelt
for third term
The southern men also express a
preference for Roosevelt, the most
prominent of them-Clark Howell of
the Atlanta Constitution-even going
as far as to say that the former presi-
dent, if again a nominee, will break
the solid south
Hughes Appointment Approved.
All of them, from all sections, agree
that, with Governor JudsOn Harmon of
Ohio eliminated from the democratic
field, the man the republicans will
have to beat is Mayor Gaynor of New
York. Everyone who voiced his senti-
ments for Taft declared that the best
thing the president has done in office
to win the people back to him was the
appointment of Governor Hughes to
the supreme bench. Senator Thomas
NJ Patterson, of Colorado, proprietor
of the Rocky Mountain News and the
Denver Times, who lives in the judicial
district OF the late Justice Brewer,
whose place Governor Hughes will fill,
said:
Our people thought the appoint
ment should go to our district, but
they had no prominent candidates and
the selection of Governor Hughes was
most satisfactory. They regard him
as one of the presidents best appoint
ments, for Hughes is the sort of man
that the west admires. / believe that
before President Taft's term expires
he will be regarded as one of the best
men in Office and that he will be re-
nominated | believe that he made a
mistake on the tariff in tying up to AL
drich and Cannon. He doesn't think
so much of Cannon, however. / hap
pen to know something about that.
Good Outlook for Gaynor.
"The kind of laws that Taft is now
endeavoring to secure shows the sort
he is. | don't know what will happen
if Roosevelt decides to run. He may
decide, but only if there is a public
clamor for him and he is sure of sue
cess. In regard to the democratic side,
if Harmon loses his fight in Ohio and
Gaynor keeps on making good, why,
I'll bet money on him.

PRAISES BIG PHILANTHROPY
President Schurman of Cornell Thinks
Well of Rockefeller Foun-
dation.

Ithaca John d. Rockefeller's phi
lanthropic scheme, which the Rookie
teller foundation bill, now pending in
congress. proposes to incorporate was
commended by President Jacob &.
Schurman in an address before the Cor
nell congress Friday night In sum-
ming up an exhaustive discussion OF
the measure, President Schurman
said:
II recognize that section No. of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say, morals and religion, art
and science, manners and social inter
course, and all that concerns the po-
litical, economic, and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is vast field for the exercise Of
philanthropy.
But Mr. Rockefeller has conceived
a vast scheme of philanthropy, for the
benefit of his fellow citizens and man.
kind. His character, ability and or
ganizing skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully with meal
culable benefit and blessing to man.
kind 1t is in the interest of the ma
ton that he be given a free hand in
the exercise of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope Of his benefi-
cence, which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain higher
civilization
"The only change I would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method OF
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left a close
corporation, if Mr. Rockefeller so de-
sires, for a generation. But after that
time | am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, OF
selected by some other high abiding
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the PEG
pie of the United States, whose wei
fare is the primary object of the i'm
mense and glorious benefaction."

BjornSjerne Bjorsen was born at
Kvikne, Osterdalen, Norway, Dec. 8th,
1882. His father was a clergyman.
He completed his education at the
Universities of Christiania and Copen-
hagen, and first became known as the
author of some of the articles and
stories which he contributed to news
papers.
In 1857 he returned from abroad
and was first director of the theater
in Bergen, and afterwards for short
time editor of the Journal Afterbladet
in Christiania. AS journalist, Bjorn-
son expressed strong republican opin-
ions, which aroused considerable pub
lie excitement. Finally he was con-
demned to years Imprisonment for
treason, but escaped to Germany, and
afterwards to America He returned
to Christiania in 1882 when he once
more began the work of agitation
against the government and the union
of the two Scandinavian kingdoms.
Ole Bull appointed him to the direc-
torship of the Bergen theater and in
1858 he put on the stage "Hilte
Hulda," and "Mellem Slagene." Other
notable plays written by him are
Kong Swere," the trilogy of Sig
urd Slembe," and the tragedy of
Mary Stuart" His comedy, Han
ske," was translated for the English
stage in 1894.
Bjorson's first novel ''Sinnoeve
Solbakker," appeared in 1857 and on
the celebration of it's fiftieth ami
versary at Christiania the novelist
received an enormous number of
greetings from all countries. It was
followed by "Arne," a sketch of Nor
wegian country life, "A Happy Boy"
and "The Fisher Maiden" both stOr-
les of the peasontry.
AS lyric poet Bjornson took high
rank. He was a voluminOus writer
and dramatist and in all his work
strove to become vehicle of national
feeling, seeking TO give expression to
the Norwegian spirit. He was regard
ed as one of the most stimulating in
f1uences for the revival of Scandina-
Wan literature.

became manifestly Inadequate for it's
expanded activities, a project was set
afoot to erect a permanent home for
it. 1t was to cost $125,000, and the
different republics were to contribute
in proportion to population as they
do for the annual expenses of the in
stitution. Several of the South Amer
lean countries proceeded on this basis,
and there was something like $4,000
on hand when the congress of the
United States declared for more pre-
tentious building and appropriated
100000 instead of merely it's share of
the $125,000. Soon after Andrew Car
negie came forward and offered to do
nate the whole sum needed for a build
ing-and a much finer building than
had previously been thought of. He
had previously donated millions of dol
lars for the famous peace palace" at
The Hague, and it was his idea to
have the new edifice in Washington oc-
cupy the same relations to the cause
of international peace on this CONT
nent that The Hague palace does to
the cause of international arbitration
throughout the world.
Beauties of the Marble Building.
With three-quarters of a million dol
lars provided by Mr.. Carnegie for
building, the Pan-American bureau
was enabled to devote $250.O0O on
hand to the purchase of a site, and
most admirable tract of several acres
was secured in an ideal location south
Of the White House and overlooking
the Potomac river. Here a surpass-
ingly beautiful marble palace has been
reared from the prize designs submit
ted in a competition which was en-
tered by architects in all parts of the
country, and, indeed, of the continent.
There is a distinct touch of the Snan-
ish in the architecture, markedly in
the introduction of tile roof and the
provision of patio" or inner court
such as constitutes the most distinc-
tive feature of the typical Latin-Amer-
lean mansion. The whole architectural
policy in the case of this building has
been to provide structure more sug-
gestive of a palatial residence than
public Office structure.
The patio" or picturesque court
yard, is protected from the sun
by an overhanging roof and cooled
by the waters falling from a
beautiful marble fountain. On all
hands are tropical plants, while the
quaint pavement, white stucco walls
and low doors suggest the Spanish at
mosphere. Much space in the rooms
which open from this patio is given
over to the Columbus Memorial Ii.

The affair was a great credit to Di-

HOUSE PASSES SENATE BILLS
COVERING 100000
ACRES.
PORTIONS RESERVED FOR PARKS
Senator Raynor Invites insurgents to
Join Democrats Permanently
and Quit Waiver
ino

Washington, April 2S.-By passing
two bills for the sale of unallOtted
lands in the Pine Ridge and Rosebud
Indian reservations a little over 1900
900 acres of the best land in North
Dakota will be opened for settlement
when the president signs the measure.
Both bills have been passed by the
senate and the amendments made in
the house are inconsequential.
An entirely new feature in land leg
islation is incorporated in the bills,
which provides for the setting aside
of town lots and of reserving land for
park purposes.
Incidentally, the effect of conserva-
ton agitation is shown as mineral and
timber lands are classified, timber
lands being reserved for the use of
the Indians. This will in effect create
forest reserve without any special
effort on the part of the federal gov
eminent.
There was considerable opposition
to the temperance provisions, which
prohibit the sale of intoxicating Ii
quors ON the lands for 25 years
1t was urged that this should be
left to the state government, but
Chairman Burke of the Indian affairs
committee, who had charge of the bill,
explained that this was a feature that
was common to all land bills passed
by congress in recent years.
Opening Nexat Fall.
An effort will be made to get ready
for the land drawing some time next
fall. Much will depend upon the pro
gress made by the appraisers. If
their report is approved promptly by
the secretary of the interior, it is
thought that the drawings will take
place early.
The house also passed Representa-
tive Miller's bill providing for the sale
of Indian lands in Minnesota to the
railways for reservoir purposes. 1t is
provided in the bill that no more than
40 acres shall be acquired under it's
provisions.
One of the land measures was
amended on motion of Mr.. SABBATH of
Illinois so that in the disposition of
the lands of the Rosebud Indian reser-
walton in South Dakota citizens could
make application for such lands at
their homes without the necessity of
going to the reservation. Mr.. SABBATH
declared that last year $4,000, 900. had
been spent by disappointed homeseek-
tn n
land.
Insurgents Decline Invitation.
An invitation, extended by Senator
Rayner to the ''insurgent" senators
to join the Democratic party, was
spurned by Senator Dolliver on behalf
of the insurgents
This suggestion by the Maryland
senator followed a speech by him in
the senate criticizing as unconstitu-
tional some of the features of the ad-
ministration railroad bill. He told the
insurgents" that they were out of
sympathy with their party and should
embrace the principles of Democracy.
A lively tilt ensued when Senator
Bailey of Texas advised the "insur-
gents" to remain in sympathy with
the regular Republicans if they de-
sired to win in the coming campaign.
Otherwise, he said, they should join
the Democracy. The session was con-
Guided with a speech by Senator Bris-
tow, who arraigned the present sys-
tenn of railroad ratemaking.

AMERICAN NATIONS
IN A PEACE RALLY
New Building for the Bureau of
Republics Dedicated.
PALACE GIVEN BY CARNEGIE
Formal Opening Is Brilliant Affair
and Is Followed by a Great
Reception in the
Evening.

Washington.-The beautiful marble
palace erected as a home for the In
ternational Bureau of the American
Republics was dedicated Tuesday with
elaborate ceremony in which the rep
resentatives of the nations of the west
ern hemisphere, as joint proprietors of
the building, took the chief part.
The erection of the building was
made possible by Andrew Carnegie,
who gave $750,000 of the million which
it and its site have cost, and the
ironmaster was one of the chief
guests and speakers at the dedi-
cation ceremony. President Taft
delivered fine address, and speeches
were made by Senior de la Barra,
the Mexican ambassador; Secre-
tary of State Knox and John Barrett,
director of the bureau, who was in
charge of the ceremonies. Prayers
were delivered by Cardinal Gibbons
and by a clergyman of the Protestant
faith
Of course all the members of the
diplomatic corps who were in the city
were present, and these brilliantly
uniformed gentlemen, together with
scores of ladies in their beautiful
spring costumes, made the scene most
picturesque.
Brilliant Evening Reception.
Nearly everybody in Washington
wanted to attend the dedication cere-
monies, but the hall of ambassadors"
seats only 500 people. So Mr. Bar
rett arranged for a reception in the
evening in honor of President and Mrs
Taft and Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie. In
vttatiOns were sent to members of the
diplomatic corps and to official and
resident society, and the reception
proved to be one of the most brilliant
affairs of the season. The Marine band
was there, playing a repertoire of
