MISSIONARIES
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of "At Good OLD siwash.s

A missionary Is a person who goes
forth to convert the ravenIng heather
and make him live better life.
This Is not an easy job, and Is not one
half as pleasant as leaping from para
chutes or non-tamIng. The missionary
has to win the love OF the heather In
signs and then teach him to lay aside
his war club and dress up in his beads
while attending church. However, this
is not as hard to do as II the heather
carried war club instead Of a golf club
This Is one reason why missionaries &c

vert heather instead of doing It at home
Generally the missionary wins the love
OF the heather, but sometimes the latter.

missionary apart and then does not sue

wear and tear on missionaries IL very
great. and young men often have to rush
forth to the work only half Theological

The missionary does not earn money.
but depends upon the missionary socie-
ties at home for bis support. Often he
is 15,000 miles from his base of supplies,
and many a missionary has sat patiently
subsisting on faith and a belt full of
holes while the missionary society at

Il will thus be seen that the mission

COURT INDICATES
VALIDITY OF LAW
Suit Against State of South Dakota
Arouses Much National
Interest.

Some interest was aroused in the Su-
preme Court yesterday when. at the con-
clusion OF arguments submitted on be-
half OF the Central Lumber Company in
a suit against the State Of South Dakota,
the court notified the attorneys for the
State that II did not care to hear argu-
ments for the State.
The case has aroused much interest. II
involves the validity OF q statute which
defines and provides a penalty for the
crime OF unfair discrimination The
law makes 1t an offense for persons or
corporations engaged in production,
manufacture, or distribution Of commod-
tiles in general use TO Intentionally. for

made in the statute for the equalization
OF prices by considering the difference in
cost OF transportation and other neces-
sary expenses for production or dlstribu-

By its action. the Supreme Court plain
ly indicated that it would hold the
statute to be valid. The Central Lumber

NATIONS ADVISED
OF CANAL TOLLS
Copies of President Taft's Proclama.
ton Send to All Governments
by Secretary of State Knox.

Secretary of State Knox yesterday
transmitted to all the governments OF
the world copies OF President Tafts
proclamation fixing Panama Canal tolls.
This official proclamation was not &C
companied by any word OF explanation
other than a formal note from the Sec
rotary OF State calling attention to the
issuance Of the schedule OF rates for the
passage Of the canal.
1t Is not anticipated that Great Brit
ain will enter any formal protest against
these tolls for at least a month, that
being the time necessary for the procla-
nation to reach the British foreign office
TO be considered and replied to. Indeed,
II Is thought probable that Great Brit
ain will defer any protest relative to
the alleged discrimination against for
eign ships until after March 4. consid-
ering that il cannot get any worse treat
ment from the Democrats that it has re-
celved from the Republicans, and hoping
that 1t may be dealt with more leniently.
No intimation OF protests from other
foreign governments has been received
at the State Department.

FILIPINO FREEDOM
Is FEARED HERE
Administration and Army Officers
Believe Islands Are Not Ready
for Independence.

stagnation OF development OF the Phil
ippines and Generalization OF the FIJI
pinos will result from the continued agi-
tation by the Democratic leaders in Con-
] gress OF projects for releasing the islands
from the control Of the United States, in
1 the opinion OF army officers and others
who have had administrative experience
in the archipelago. The actual carrying
into effect of the proposed plans for free
ing the Philippines would be nothing short
of disaster. according to administration
opinion.
In demonstration which took place at
Manila Immediately after the election of
Woodrow Wilson TO the Presidency OFF,
cials here see the first indication OF what
is to come. More than COCO Filipinos. it
is reported from Manila, INDUCED in the
widest jubllation over the Democratic
! victory. and listened to addresses in
which the rule Of the United States was
declared as practically at an end. 1t Is
regarded as most significant here that on
this occasion Aguinaldo the leader of the
Filipino instruction following the war
with Spain. appeared publicly for the first
time since his capture by the American
troops in the islands He addressed the
gathering in the first political speech he
has made since. the end OF his insurrec-
ton. 1t is believed here that this action
upon the part of Aguinaldo means that
from now on he will be in the front ranks
CT the aspirants for political honors
which the Democratic proposals have led
the Filipinos TO believe 10 be almost with
in their grasp.
1t has been learned here that since Will
sons election the Filipino press has been
busy sketching the future, all assuming
that the Democratic administration will
arrange for their independence in the
Immediate future. These newspapers have
already informed their readers that W. J.
Bryan. who for years was the champion
in the United States of Filipino independ
ence. is to be governor general after
March 4, and that Fisk Warren, for a
time prominent as a leader OF the anti
iInperialist movement, is to be vice presi-
dent OF the Philippine Commission.
Decisive action by the Democrats in IA
vor OF freeing the Philippines within the
next few years will result in a general
exodus from the Islands of Americans
and other foreign investors, according to
reports received here.

Several distinguished women lawyers
have argued cases there, both orally and
on printed brief. Mrs. Belva A. Lock-
wood, who secured the passage Of the
law that permitted women to practice
before that court, has argued several
cases. One which she argued after she
had attained her eightieth year won the
high praise OF the late Justice Brewer.
Another women attorney was Mrs. Ella

assistant attorney general for Montana,
who won q case in the Supreme Court, in
which she received a fee of $4,000.

the four Pier sisters, of Milwaukee, who.

appeared before the Supreme Court at
one time, and on many occasions women
attorneys appear upon briefs filed in be-
half of the Iitigsnts. Mrs. Ellen Spencer
Mussey is one Of these. In the famous
case OF Glavey VS.. the United States she
appeared for the petitioner and the court
decided in her favor.
1t is also true that a very small per-
centage of the thousands OF men mem
bers of the bar OF the Supreme Court of
the United States ever represent clients
in that court and any one who cares to
investigate will probably find that OF the
fifty women attorneys registered there,
there are In proportion as many who have
succeeded as there are proportionatly OF
the men.

those who have aspirations for legal
honors, permit me to say that the MEM

uniformly most generous and helpful to
their "sisters-in-law."

Lee McClunP.

The news of the resignation of Mr.
Lee McClung as Treasurer of the
United States, while not startling, is
nevertheless unwelcome news. From
one point of view it is taken as a
confirmation of the rumor that even
with the retirement last July of the
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
all was not harmonious in that de-
partment. If Mr.. McClung agreed
with the view then expressed he at
least did not embarrass during the
heat of campaign the administration
to which he owed his appointment
The courtesy thus shown by him is
typical of the man.
From another viewpoint the resig-
nation is an unwelcome one to Wash
ington as Mr.. McClung. while he lived
here a dozen years ago before he be-
came the treasurer of Yale University,
made for himself many warm friends.
Since his return as a government Of
fetal he has not only renewed his &C
quaintances-who are now loath to
have him leave-but he has demon
strated in a marked degree his ability
to fill the important Office he is now
resigning.
Mr.. MeCimg has taken active part
in the betterment of everything which
pertained to Washington, and his loss
will be felt in all circles. He has
the best wishes of The Washington
Herald for whatever he may decide to
take up, and all we can wish him is
that his self-esrned success may con-
tinue.

Mr.. Meyers Naval Reserve Plan.

The Navy Department IS agltatlng
a movement to create a reserve, re-
sembling that of Britain and
France, from the officers and men who
have served in the navy and been
honorably discharged or have resigned.
1t is estimated that there are in the
country about 1900 men who have
served one or more enlistments in the
navy, also number of such former
officers. In addition it is proposed to
add officers of the merchant marine
who hold masters certificates as we'll
as former naval militia officers and
men. The matter is to be pushed at
the next session of Congress. The
plan does not contemplate any regular
meeting places or drills, it being
deemed sufficient for the officers and
men to report annually for a brief
trip and drill on board ship with pay.
Whether the Navy Department will
realize its hope is doubtful. Congress
shows no disposition to authorize such
a force, that, in measure, would
conflict with the naval militia, which
also is having a hard time to induce
Congress to pass a measure to place
that force on the same basis regard
ing Federal support which the Ma
tional Guard enjoys. Congress does
not seem anxious to accept any meas
ure which involves an increased ex-
penditure.
The question is whether former en-
listed men of the navy will care to
enroll in a reserve, owing to the eff
feet such an enrolment might have
on their ability to obtain steady en-
ployment in civil life. The limitations
which it is proposed to put on the
rank of Officers is pretty GER
tain to keep the best of the merchant
marine officers and former naval Of
hcers out Of the reserve, as most of
these men know what a small chance
they are likely to get in the navy of
securing assignments that will enable
them to distinguish themselves.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER Is. 1872
Pennsy's New Head.

Though losing so valuable a presi-
dent as Mr. McCrea, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is able to replace
him without a moments delay with
so accomplished and vigorous a sue
cessor as Vice President Samuel Rea
which speaks volumes for the high
order of ability that controls that great
corporation. To judge by the new
presidents record, he will bring to his
responsible Office an unusual and re-
markable ability as an engineer and
as a hnancier, and in both these points
he closely resembles the late President
Cassatt. Being, comparatively speak
ing, a young man, he seems assured
of a long administration which no
doubt will be a very successful one.
Mr. Rea is a living refutation of
the oft-repeated statement that
America no longer holds out oppor-
tunities for young men. He began his
railroad career as a country lad, pick
ed up by surveying party to do some
temporary work. He gained all his
technical knowledge solely in the
school of practical experience. Through
sheer force of character and demon
strated ability he forged ahead step by
step until now he has reached the
summit
His most conspicuous achievements
arc the New York Terminal of the
"Pennsy," and the connecting Hud-
son River tunnels, the mammoth pas
senger station in the very heart of the
metropolis, and the connection with
Long Island, most notable engineer
ing feat, first conceived by President
Cassatt, but executed largely under
Mr.. Rea's direction. Under his ad-
ministration Philadelphia hopes to see
the necessary enlargement of Broad
Street Station accomplished
The retiring president, McCrea, by
his conservative administration, has
successfully steered the company
through FIVE years of anything but
favorable financial condition of the
country for great works of expansion.
After forty-eight years of continuous
service his desire for a well-deserved
rest is but natural. But his resigna-
ton breaks a precedent, for during
the last half century every president
of the railroad has died in Office,
crushed under the great burden of
responsibility and broken in health.
