Soap Manufacture.
1t is no secret to those interested in
the industry of soap manufacture that
cottOnseed oil is almost beyond the
reach Of the soap manufacturer. owing
10 the market conditions affecting the
price of that material; hence the pre-
diction which I made when I inaugu-
rated the movement Of the soap-nut
tree industry, that the time would soon
come when the sOap-nut would be in
demand for the soap industry That
prediction has come true much sooner
than was expected, as 7 have received
several inquiries and quotations for
the soap-nut in carload lots.
The cost Of production Of the soap
nut is practically nil. once the trees
are well started. The growing Of cot
ton. on the other hand. is expensive
and the production has TO be restrained
to a certain limit in order to preserve
the commercial equilibrium between
demand and supply; overproduction
Of cotton means low prices and conse-
quently heavy losses and discourage
ment to the producers, who have been
put to a very considerable expense in
raising their crops. The situation is
quite different as regards tho soap
nut trees. since the production costs
practically nothing and. in the most
unfavorable case. the timber Of the tree
represents a very substantial source of
income to fall back or, in any emer-
gency which might be imagined to
arise
Foam Producing Qualities.
The efficiency Of the soap-nut ex-
tract as a foam producer which rem
ders it so valuable not only in soap
manufacture. but in certain other ap-
plications, is discussed in Pure Prod
ucts, from which some passages may
here be quoted:
'SapOnin extract has various uses
as an addition to toilet soaps ard other
toilet preparations. for example. and
also as foam producing ingredient in
carbonated beverages. As compared
with Panama bark, which has hereto
fore been the principal source of sa-
ponin, the sOap-nut has a decided ad-
vantage, the yield of saponin being
nearly four times as great from the
Soap-nut as from the Panama bark.
The foam Of the sOap-nut is more
close grained, and, considering that
the cost Of the two raw materials is
about the same. the hulls. if obtained
in sufficient quantity, should have no
difficulty in driving the bark out of
the market.
1T is said that the p-nut is also
used by chemical laundries and cloth
fullers in place Of soap"
When the soap-nut becomes a COM
mercially important product in this
country the seeds, although being a
by-product, will, however, have consid-
cradle value as a source of oil

under the light of reason and apply
the rule of reason to the questions to
be decided.
'I have the authority of this court for
saying that such a. course of proceeding
on its par would be judicial legisla-
tion.'"
Justice Harlan maintains the court
should have replied emphatically to the
sisted on reversal of the former rul-
ings' of the court as follows:
That question, according to our
practice, is not open for further dis
cussion here. This court long ago de-
liberately held Cd that the act inter-
preting its words in their ordinary ac-
ceptation, prohibits all restraints of
in whatever form and whether reason
able or unreasonable; CD the question
relates to matters of public policy in
reference to commerce among the
states and with foreign nations, and
congress alone can deal with the sub
ject; (S) this court would encroach on
the authority of congress If, under the
guise of construction, it should assume
to determine a matter of public policy;
"a the parties must go to congress
and obtain an amendment of the anti
trust act If they think that this court
was wrong in its former decisions.
and CD this court can not and will
not judiciously legislate since its func-
ton is to declare law, while it belongs
to the legislative department to make
the law
Then referring to the phrase which
Chief Justice White used in his opin-
ion, Justice Harlan adds:

was a signal for an ontburst of in
dignation. The shouting called out
the sergeant-at-arms and assistants
and the balconies and stairs were
cleared.
They took up the cry viva Madero"
and for a time stood about the cham
Der shouting and waving their hats.
Then from somewhere appeared the
nucleus of the later procession, con-
sisting of several coaches filled with
dero.
Led by a Woman.
When the crowd started on it's
march it was led by a coach in which
stood a young woman of the better
class. She waved a Mexican flag and
pitch of excitement. Beside her stood
a young man holding aloft a large
framed picture of Madero.
About the city they made their way,
growing in numbers with every square
traverse They made a wide detour
of march the residence of the president.
At the first notice of the gathering
crowd two armed squads of mounted
police were rushed to the vicinity and
posted on each end of the block.
When the crowd approached the
guards were placed four deep. Feeble
efforts were made by the shouting
marchers who, up to this time, were in
best of humor. to turn their steps tow
ard the presidential residence but evil
IDENTIFY thought better of it and content
ed themselves by waving their banners
in that direction, shouting "renuncia,
renuncia," (reSign, reSign) and the US
uaI plaudits for Madero.
While this contingent was making
it's way about town several other SINH
lar aggregations sprang up and started
independent tours. By nightfaIl-the
original demonstration started soon af-
ter 'clock-there were at least four
separate bands in action.
Leaving the vicinity of the president 8
residence, the original crowd marched
through the center of the city and
headed back to the chamber of depu-
ties. 1t was a heterogeneous crowd.
Behind the coach with the girl in white
walked a street vender carrying half
dozen umeros"-bamboo poles with
tufts of feathers at the end for dust
ing ceilings. To the ends he had fixed
a lithograph of Madero.
Coaches loaded until the springs were
bent double with here and there a
stray woman, crowded in among the
men and boys, followed. Indians with
blankets over their shoulders tramped
and shouted side by side with smartly
dressed young fellows. One Of the lat
ter observing an American newspaper
man trudging along in the crowd,
shouted to him above the din, Now,
whom do you think the people want for
PRESIDENT"
There would seem to be no ques-
tion," was the reply.
Then tell it to your country. Tell
your people what you are seeing today.
The people want Madero.'
From windows along the way hand
clappings and cheers answered the
shout from the streets. Here and there
a picture of the peoples new idol was
waved and the crowds went wild.
Squads of mounted police trailed the
various detachments but offered no op-
position to their progress.

MORE TROUBLE AHEAD.
Can Be Warded Off Only by the Res
ignatiOn of DiaZ.

Juarez May 25.-"Un1eSS General
Diaz resigns today or tomorrow there
will be more trouble throughout Mex
ico."
Commenting on last nights demon
stration in Mexico City Provisional
President Francisco 1. Madero, Jr.,
made this statement today and added
that uprisings in the interior are the
result of a tendency to distrust Presi-
dent Diaz's avowed intention of retir-
ing.
$50 long as General Diaz remains in
power the country will be in unrest
and clashes between the old time fed
erals and the tnsurrectos will be in
evitable. The people have the right
to parade the streets and voice their
sentiments in a popular way. They
are beginning to realize for the first
time the rights of free speech. That
the federal soldiers and police last
night fired upon the people was to be
expected. That is the old way of sup
pressing the popular will.
Personally, 1 believe General Diaz
will resign as soon as he possibly can.
Things have gone too far for him to
retract He has pledged himself to
the world and there is now no possible
excuse for his not doing so. The fact
that he is i'll will not release him
from the obligation.
81 realize that the sooner 1 reacn
the City of Mexico the sooner conf
dence will be restored.
while I am certain of my position
the people in the interior who are ac-
customed to being deceived will not
believe a change of government is at
hand until Diaz resigns.
II am still uncertain as to when 1
will leave-possibly not for a week.
1 prefer to go without having to
travel through the United States. 1
want to go by way of Chihuahua so
that on my way 1 may pacify the
states cf Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes,

states. The reason for my delay is

JINGOES A HANDICAP.
They Interfere With the Work of Mis-

Atlantic City, May 25.-The report of
the board of foreign missions presented
to the Presbyterian general assembly
today, in speaking of the work done in
Japan last year, says:
Something which affected the work
of the year very seriously is the per-
sistent pernicious war talk in America
How can we American Christians
preach to this people the gospel of the
Prince of Peace when our people at
home keep up this infamous talk?''

that hindered the growth of the King

socialism which has taken root there.

their power to uproat the whole growth.

CENSUS OF ENGLAND.
London Has Population of 1885,
96S.

London, May 25.-Provisional figures
returned by the census officers give the
population of England and Wales this
year as 36,075,269 compared with 32,527,-
843 in 1901. While most of the cities and
counties show an increase there are
many cases. particularly in Wales,
where there has been an actual de-
crease.
Greater London's population has in
creased to 7,252,963 from 65S1, ,402 in
1901. This increase is entirely in what
is known as the outer ring, showing
that the people are moving from the
more crowded centers. In fact, many
of the old metropolitan boroughs and
the city of London proper have lost
their population to the suburbs. The
county of London, including the city of
London and the boroughs Immediately
about it, shows a decrease from 1885,
