Tomorrow military activity will be OFF,
cially resumed in the high schools of this
city. Until the boys who intend to join
the cadet organization report for duty
tomorrow afternoon no one will know
exactly how many companies will con-
stitute the regiment this year. Though
they believe that the regiment Will con-
sist of only twelve companies. the same
as last year, some of the school officials
have expressed themselves as being de-
sirous of seeing it larger. The present
ratio of boys who join the military or
ganization is small in proportion to the
ratio the officials believe it should be.
The size Of the regiment has steadily
increased with the enrolment of the
several schools since it's inception more
than twenty years ago. but the percent
age of boys joining is decreasing. No
reason has been assigned for this de-
crease. The effects of the training re-
ceived is good, in the belief of officials
and hundreds of other people, and prac-
tically the only expenditure involved is
the cost of the cadet suit, about SIS.
This suit can, Of course. be worn as any
other suit The cadets have to drill only
four hours week; two hours on two
separate days.

do you regard the prosperity of the

Indeed, I do. The facts bear me out in
this assertion. Seldom before has the
business of the country been in a more

still some inequalities. but IL there We're

Work of Frenzied Financier.
1T was the unchecked rule of the
'frenzied financier' that produced the
dangerous conditions of the period be-
tween 1897 and 1907. The panic of the
latter year was the natural and inevitable
result.
"There is now not the slightest feeling
or dread Of panic i'm the country. Every
body is prosperous. everybody has job,
everybody is in better condition today
than four years ago. And the chief rea-
son for my confidence in the sanity and
soundness of the American people at

can be asserted, however, as fact. that
he is not contemplating, as stated in dis

STING Of COMMON BEE
CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Apiary on Roof of London
Building Mecca for the
Sufferers.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, October 5-On the roof of
the Ganage's buildings, far above the roar
Of the traffic pouring through Holborn.
there is colony of bees, to which many
a former martyr of rheumatism owes his
cure
1t is recognized even in medical circles
that bee sting is remedy for rheu-
matte complaints, and the manager who
has charge of Ganage's aerial apiary
confessed yesterday that he himself had
suffered twice from rheumatic fever. after
which he decided to take up Bookkeeping.
'.Since them" he declared. II have never
had twinge Of rheumatism. Several pa
tients who We're victims to the complaint
have come to us on the advice Of their
doctors. and our bees have cured them
with stings."
Six Hives as Nucleus.
Three years ago the apiary on the roof
was formed with nucleus of half doz-
en- hives. taken from the firms farm at
Hinchley, each of which contained q min
imum of $4,000 bees. and today. up among
the chimney pots of central London, there
are over thirty hives, with a total Of Ices
which may be anything from 10000 to
oOOO,OOO
The apiary is simply designed for breed
ing purposes. and with the original stocks
as basis. Italian and Swiss strains have
been introduced. This year 300 queens
varying from a crown to- half a guinea
Further the bees collected some forty
pounds Of honey. This is Of a dark color,
and the nectar for 1t was gathered by the
workers of the colony within radius
of four miles of Holborn.
Pollen as Proof.
1--WE can tell from their pollen said
the manager, that the farthest the bees
travel is to Hampstead Heath which is
about four miles away. but for the most
part the nectar is gathered from the
blooms of the vegetation in the London
squares and gardens-both on the ground
ana on the roofs-and in the parks. Since
the apary was established many people
have been instructed in the art of bee
keeping, and there are many who keep
hives on their housetops. At this moment
l have a countess and a foreign princess
receiving practical tuition from the bees
here.
Victims of Cold Weather.
THE cold weather is combining the
bees to their hives and grim feature of
the roof is the little piles of de; d bees
which the wind has swept into odd hooks
and corners. When the wind shifts there
is a stream of these victims of overwork
dripping into the narrow street between
Ganage's and the next building. But il
should be remembered that the average
life of a bee after it begins - leave the
hive to collect material for honey riaking
Is only six weeks
1t is strange to note that not one of the
bees has ever been known to stray into
the building. At it's farm In Fine ley
the firm has as many az 600 hives. and
honey.is produced in enerrnoa Quantities.

Military training is not a sport. Every

logical plan. When a boy. in the under

suits, learns to do so in the most direct,
effective and economical manner he is
becoming scientific in his type Of mind.
Substitute for Gymnasium.
Properly guarded military drill is a
substitute for much gymnasium work
and in many ways takes the place of
gymnasium training, contributing to bet

The physical benefit resulting from both
the drill and the setting up exercises Is
evident at glance. 1t gives the majority

Interest in the Panama Canal.

On the question of the Panama canal
and his fnsistence upon free passage
for domestic vessels engaged in coast
wise trade, the President displayed in
tensity of interest.
He seemed especially to resent criti-
cisms in Europe and this country that
he had violated our national honor.
He said he was as earnest in urging
compliance with national obligations
as any one. but he did not construe
our treaty to mean that we could dis
criminate in favor of our cOastwise
trade.
1T is probable he said. that had
we not coupled with the coastwise ves-
sci clause the denial Of free access
to the canal to railroad-owned steam
ships and the more general provision
as to connecting steamship Lines any
where in the United States, we would
have heard less criticism about our
violating the national honor"
II am inclined to believe that the
Supreme Court may hold the latter pro-
visions too great, delegation to the in
terstate commerce commission and uncon-
stitutional. I did not favor it's adoption
| in this bill because it is not relevant to
canal legislation; was the original pro-
| poser of inhibition against railroad owned
| steamships use of the canal, and urged
that discriminating canal toll be levied
against ratlroad-owned steamships.

| to be able to prevent the transcontnental
railroads from affecting canal route rates
after the canal is opened.
''If permitted the use of the canal on
| the same terms as privately owned ships
engaged in the. cOastwise trade, they
could obtain control Of the rates by driv-

business by very low rates and reckless
competition. They with their great capt.
tai could afford to do this. OF course,

His Views Unchanged.

Were l faced with the same situation
again would do exactly as l have done.
The reductions proposed and others that
are needed will be made by the repub-
lican party when the necessary facts
pertaining to the subjects treated have
been assembled by experts and laid be-
fore the President and the Congress.
That is what the tariff board is to do.
1t is to sit at the right hand of Congress
and the President in all tariff legislation
and be their counselors. Without that
form Of assistance we shall never be able
to frame tariffs that will do justice alike
to consumer and manufacturer.

You can rely upon 1T that every person
compelled to pay that tax will insist upon
being shown what has been done with
his money. If he doesn't get good roads
when he knows he is paying for them. he
will vote against the road administration
pledged to make proper use of his money,
and he will do this irrespective of wheth-
er or not the administration he is turning

Negroes Deserve Respect.

The peculiar twist given to the negro
question by the progressive party ma
tional conventions refusal to admit color
ed delegates from the south, while well
coming negro delegates from northern
and western states. caused President Taft
to remark:
Had the colored delegates from the
south to the republican national conven-
ton yielded to the influences the news
papers said We're dangled before their
eyes the progressive party leaders might
have viewed differently their fitness for
participation in the progressive party's
convention.
1T occurs to me that instead of the
southern colored republicans being de-
clared as disqualified to participate in the
activities of the new party, the very fact
of their loyalty to a cause they had been
elected, to represent in our national con-
vention should have commended them to
the progressive party's leaders.
"A race which in fifty years has re-
duced its illiteracy from % to about 30
per cent is certainly deserving of more
respectful consideration than it received
from the progressive party leaders.

II have not yet been able to form a
fixed judgment as to where the line for
the taxation of incomes should be drawn.
That is the most difficult part of the
problem to solve. In defining the limita-
ton We must be governed by considera-

Of revenue the tax will bring. The limi-
tatiOn should be so fixed as to make the
tax touch the greatest possible number of
citizens without imposing hardship upon
any of them. This ought to be done
chiefly TO arouse their keen. alert, per-
sonal interest in the operations OF their
government at Washington.
