royalty of one per cent per ton for

1t has been figured out by the Uni
ted States portal authorities that full
ly $10O,OO0,OOO a year is sent out by
foreigners for deposit in savings
banks in their native land. The drain
has been kept up for many years and
and will probably grow larger as time
passes. unless checkmated by the pos
tai savings banks now being establish
ed as rapidly as is consistent with
good judgment. The withdrawal of
one hundred millions from the circu-
lation of the country with yearly
regularity is a matter of no small
Importance, government officials
state, and if it can be kept at home
it will have good effect on bust
ness. The money is sent away for de-
post because its owners are assured
of safety, though they get a smaller
rate of interest.

PRESIDENT RAPS
ARMY OFFICER
YOUNG JEWISH SOLDIER HELD
BACK FROM PROMOTION.
Col, Garrard Admits Young Man Wa
Deserving, But DID Not Desiye
HIN as Associate. ,

Observation-Disclosures Taft Monday
rebuked Col. Joseph Garrard, command
ing the cavalry post at Fort Mycr, Va,
for disappearing Private Blooms eff
fort for promotion because of Blooms
Jewish patronage. President Taft d.
rected the secretary of war to investigate
the matter. The president stamped the
expressions as those of narrow race pref.
udice. The war department pointed out
that there have been many Jews among
the army officers.
Notwithstanding the presidents in.
quiry directed to the secretary of war as
to what should be done to discipline
Col. Garrard, the incident has been prac.
tically closed with the rebuke. The de-
partment decided there was no ground
for a court-martial, an officer being at
liberty to express his actual belief as tc
the availability of any candidate from
the ranks.
1t was concluded that the presidents
object would be best served by the pub
LEGATION of the correspondence and with
the delivery of a copy to Col. Garrard,
with q letter from the secretary of wal
duly admonishing him not to repeat the
Endorsement.
The presidents action has created q
sensation throughout Washington.
The young soldier involved in the con-
troversy is Frank A. Bloom, a private
in Battery + of the Third field artillery,
and is now on duty on the Mexican bor-
der.
Col. Garrard's Endorsement on Blooms
papers, to which President Taft so
strongly objected when brought to his
attention, was as follows:
The applicant is a son of Joseph A.
Bloom, of Jewish persuasion, who is now
and has been for a number of years a
tailor at this post. His associations, as
far as l know, and those of his family,
have been with enlisted men and their
families and have been respectable.
THE young mar is undoubtedly honest
and upright, ambitious and probably de.
serving, but for the reasons stated l
would not desire him in my command
as an officer and a social and personal
associate. The presence of the appli-
cant's family at a military post would
be subversive OF discipline and their
probable treatment a source of NORTH
cation to them and frequent cause OF
trouble to commanding officers. From
an experience of many years l have
found, except in few cases, few com
munities where Jews are received as do
sirable social associates"

MUST ADMIT %INFERIORITY
Bailey Says Only Way Races Can Live
IN Peace.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Joseph w. Bal
ley, OF Texas, addressing a gathering
of Confederate veterans, declared that
if the two races are to live in peace in
this country it must be with the black
race in constant recognition of its in
feriority.
Speaking of Jefferson Davis, in observ-
ance of whose birthday the gathering was
held, Senator Bailey said he was less
responsible Tor the conflict between the
states than any other man and was the
last man in all the South TO abandon
the hope of a reconciliation.
The truth of history was with the
Confederate people," said the senator.
"The fathers would never have formed
this Union if they had not believed that
it could be dissolved for cause. If the
Southern people believed they could not
remain in the Union with honor and safe
ty they had a right to secede."

MONUMENT TO KU KLUx KHAN
Rev. VIM. E. Thompson Praises "Salva.
ton of the South"

Chattanooga.-At the annual reunion
Of John B. Gordon Camp, Confederate
Veterans, held in Lafayette, Ca, Rev.
William E. Thompson, pastor of the
wealthy Centenary Methodist Church in
Chattanooga, delivered the address in
which he suggested, and made the initial
contribution, for the erection of a monu
ment to the memory Of the members of
the 'Ku Klux Klan."
The speaker said that the Ku Klux
Khan was the salvation of the South dur
ing the days Of reconstruction. Were it
in my power" said he, II would erect a
monument to the Ku Klux Khan that
would pierce the blue vaults of heaven.
It was those stanch men, tried and true,
upon many a hard battlefield, that in the
face of imposing odds threw themselves
into the yawning breach and saved Anglo
Saxon supremacy for the South. Too
much praise cannot be given those brave

KNOX s %j77 NE NJ! BOOKS
WILL NOT TELL WHERE $2,45o FOR
DAY PICTURE WENT.
Money Was Paid Out of Fund for On.
forseen Emergencies in Diplo-
matte Service.

Washington.-A lively controversy
over the executives right to withhold
confidential papers from a congressional
probing committee was precipitated Fri
day by a flat refusal of Secretary OF
State Knox on the instruction of Presi-
dent Taft to lay before the house COM
mittee IN expenditures in the state de-
partment books showing the record of
the payment for the portrait of ex-Sec-
rotary of State Day. The committee is
seeking to discover what became of the
S l 900 balance on the $2,45O voucher
drawn for the payment of the portrait.
Artist Rosenthal received only $3.50 for
his work and the $1,000 is yet unac-
counted for.
The president held that the $2,450 was
paid out of the emergency fund for UNI
forseen emergencies in the diplomatic
and consular service and for extending
diplomatic intercourse with foreign N a
tions, which congress had provided, need
not be accounted for if the president GER
titles that an item should be paid from
this fund.
President Roosevelt had made a GER
| tiication and President Taft hesitated
to go back of that certiication. Fur.
thermore, Secretary Knox explained to
the committee that it was improper ia
produce the books, because thereby other
undisclosed items Of expenditure would
be revealed.
Secretary Knox said he was directed
to complete his investigation into what
became of the money and to report the
facts to the president.
Chairman Hamlin, of Missouri, took is
sue with the secretary's asserted right
to refuse to produce the record of thu
expenditure.
"Do you mean to say that $2,450 may
be spent for a portrait and congress re
fused all information in regard to it?'
he asked.
Secretary Knox replied that it wa
improper when a former president certi
fed to the expenditure from the emer
gency fund.

GOVERNMENT AFTER
LUMBER COMBINE
HERBERT KNOX SMITH MAKES
STARTLING STATEMENTS.
Formidable Combination Being Concen
trated-Present Value of Standing
Timber Is $1,000, 000, 600.

Washington.-"There are many great
combinations in other industries whose
formation Is complete. In the lumber in
dustry, however, the bureau finds now in
making a combination, caused, funda-
mentally, by a long-standing public pol
icy. The concentration already existing
Is sufficiently impressive. Still more i'm
pressive are the possibilities for the fut-
ure. In the last forty years concentra-
ton has 80 proceeded that 1915 holders,
many inter-related now, have practically
one-half of the privately owned timber
in the investigation area (which contains
90 per cent of the whole). This formida-
BILE process of concentration in timber
and land certainty involves grave future
possibilities of i%mpregnable monopolistic
conditions, whose f~ar-reaching conse-
quences to society it is now difficult to
antisipate freely, or even to estimate"
"The present commercial value of the
standing timber in the country owned by
the trust, not including the value of the
land, is estimated Though such an esti-
mate must be very rough) at least &c..

the consuming public will have to pay
such prices for timber as will give this
timber a far greater value"
These are the earnest convictions of
COMMISSIONS of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith, expressed in a recent par
tial report on the lumber trust, which
President Taft piloried on Saturday
night as one Of the two leading factors
in the fight against reciprocity with Can
ada. The paper trust is the other, and
the close bonds of sympathy with which
the two are connected needs no elabora
ton.
Having laid bare the source of opposi
ton to reciprocity and made an appeal
to the people, the president has deliber
ately flung down the gage of battle
In the struggle against the lumbe,
trust, which Mr.. Taft will take up on hi;
return to Washington, there is at stake
first, reciprocity, and along with that 6
reduction of the high cost of living
cheaper farm lands, cheaper clothing
cheaper paper, the curbing of the rail

"There has been nm unwillingness on
