A few years ago much stress
was laid upon that class of edu-
cation which was finished a.
broad" but abroad" appears
to have been moved from Eu-
rope to the United ctates 1t is
shown by official figures that the
United States furnished only
351 students for German finish
ing schools" and other educa-
tional institutions in 1913. Of
these 328 were from northern
states and twenty-three from
southern states. The number of
foreign students enrolled at 275
American universities, colleges,
and archaeological schools in the
year 1913 not only reached the
surprising total of 4,222, but
this was an actual increase of
SIT over 1911. Travellers upon
the boats going to, or coming
from, South America, are i'm
pressed with the number of
young men whose mission to the
United States concerns the mat
ter of their education. These
young men after graduation,
have proven their benefit to the
foreign trade of the United
States through the demand they
have created for the American
articles to which they have be-
come accustomed, and in their
business and official life they
quite universally specify Amer
lean equipment for foreign en-
terprise.

President Wilson has done; with
the result that a good many of
the patronage hunting Congress-
men held fast to executive favor,
Cleveland and Wilson are alike
in one respect, in that they are
regarded as very amiable when
under criticism. Mr.. Wilson has
exercised the same sort of infu-
ence over Democratic leaders of

over those of his time, and it
may be that the beginning of
open criticism has been marked
by the attitude of Speaker
Champ Clark and Leader Oscar

first to indulge in anything like

Before l was six years old |
wanted to be a farmer and raise
pumpkins. My father was a
Judge, and remember the old
court house where l used to listen
to cases. This ambition guided
me through my boyhood and COL
lege days" Following along the
events of his earlier life, Mr..
Bryan says that he got into
politics by accident and stayed
there by design" He says that
when he was first nominated for
Congress that there was no
thought that he would be elect
ed. His comment was to the
effect that circumstances rule
our lives" Mr.. Bryan says he
has gotten along so far in his lam
guages that he is able to dream
in Spanish. Incidentally the
Secretary has practically COM

MAY MODIFY TARIFF.
There is a growing impression
in well-informed circles here
that the tariff plans of the Ad-
ministration as embodied in the
Underwood bill will be modified
in one important particular at
least. The rumored change is
one that can be made very cas-.
lily if the President and Congress
are so minded, for it will con-
sist merely in eliminating the
proviso at the end of Schedule
E, which declares that after
May 1. 1916. sugar shall be ad-
mitted duty free. Two factors
are said to be influential in in
ducing the Democratic leaders
to look fay o rably upon this
course. The first is the consid-
Grafton that the revenue of near
ly $40, 100000 from sugar. al
ways the best revenue produced
of the tariff list, will be needed
to help fill the growing gap be-
tween government income and
expenditure. The second is the
result of Investigations which
the Department of Commerce
has made into conditions in the
Louisiana sugar fields, and which
are now being extended to the
sugar beet states. 1t is reported
that the figures collected by the
government experts show that
the home sugar industry will be
badly crippled by the free ad-
mission of foreign sugar. While
the President is not likely to
commit himself until the reports
of his investigators are complet-
ed it is noteworthy that most of
the talk of a possible amend
ment of the sugar tariff comes
Democratic sources.

IMPROVEMENTS AT
 T|Ll|CuM CLUB
Many Changes Have Been Made and the Work Is completed-Ladies
 Evening Tomorrow.

About fifteen hundred dollars has been expended in making various i'm provements to the Tillikum Club, which have now been completed and the club will have a house warming tomorrow night to which the ladies will be invited.
 The main club room has been ex- tended so as to take in the space that was originally occupied by the porch. This has been made into an alcove and has three large plate glass windows which makes it veritable sun ;parlor. The former vestibule has been extended and converted in to a writing room, and the entrance to the club has been changed to the street level on Court street.
 A hot water heating plant has been installed in lieu of the old system of heating with stoves. The floors have been polished and rugs have taken the place of the carpet. The money required for these changes has been raised by voluntary subscriptions by the members, and the results attain ed by the committee having this work in charge are highly satisfac- tory.
 The Tillikum Club has long played an important part in the commer- cial and social welfare of Valdez, having entertained practically every visitor of tote that has visited this town during the past ten years.

TANGO AND THE PIE INDUSTRY.

Pulpit and press denunciations have failed to suppress the tango craze but the dance will have to go just the same, the contention of a New York pie manufacturer is sus- tained by the facts, after proper in vestigation. This pie-maker, who used to tur nout 300,000 pies a year, has filed a petition in bankruptcy al leging that the decrease in the New England population in New York and the tango craze have ruined his bus mess. He declares that in the old days patrons of restaurants ate good meals and always topped them off with slabs of pie, while now they bolt a few dishes, cut out pie en- tirely, and hasten to join the tango CTS.
 This is a matter which may well give pause to the friends of Ameri- can institutions. The pie has forti- fled us all the way from Bunker Hill to Vera Cruz. Immigrants by the million have been absorbed into our citizenship and we have not been ov- erwhelmed by their ideas or ideals We have taught them to assimilate American ideals and American pie in the proper proportions and have held them at our mercy. We have main tained our dominance over them be- cause they have realized that with us the taste for pie was natural, while with them t was acquired. We shud- der to think of the consequences if the American people surrender the advantages accruing to them through their na -ural aptitude and appetite for pie. We trust that Con- gressman Humphrey of Washington will take this matter up at once. He in his attempt +o prove that the for eigner pays the tariff exactions. We will forgive him much if he will start movement in congress for the sup pression of the tango and the conse- quent restoration and preservation of the pie industry, one of the bulwarks of American institutions.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

 History
TRIAL OF THE CAMORRISTS

What finally broke most of the power of a secret society that had plundered and blackmailed all Italy for more than 800 years, was the trial in 1911 of the Camorra for the Cuocolo murder This society had it's headquarters in Naples, and num- bered many thousands. The police were powerless to prevent anything that these brigands did and all hon. or is due to Erminio Capizzuti for eventually bringing them to justice
 This was not done in a week or month, but took him more than two years. He lived as a Sardinian and became friendly with Gennaro Ab- batemaggiO, a cOachman who he knew secretly to be Camorrist Winning his way into the coach mans confidence he at last became a member" of the society. His first assignment" was to rob an English lady of a dog and then return it and claim the reward. For this he received about a tWO- hundredth part of the reward. Pretending to Ab- batemaggio that he wanted higher and mole dangerous work he asked the names of the leaders, who he had never met
 That said Abbatemaggio. T could not tell. I even know of the Cuocolo murder, but I never tell for l have taken my oath"
 What is this oath?" said Capuiz- zuti.
 An, It is something terrible" and he repeated it:
 T swear on my honor to be faith ful to the Camorra, as the Camorra is faithful to me. As my flesh is now burned and a drop of my blood is now split, so may my body be consumed and all my blood shed if I ever break faith with or leave the Camorra"
 But, despite this terrible oath, he did tell how the gang had crept up behind the stool-pigeon Coucolo and stabbed and beaten him to death on the streets and then went to his apartments and murdered his wife, Maria.
 All this informa tion was sent by the spy to the minister of justice. Forty Camorrists were arrested. Ab- batemaggio was held as informer, and on March 6, 1911, they were held on trial.
 The prisoners were all placed in a big cage, and the informer in a sep arate one. This, by the way, he considered great honor and thought himself the main man in the Tease. The supposed leader of the gang was Enrico Alfano, who was arrested in Brooklyn, by Detective Joseph Pe- trosino. The detective was later as sassinated at Palermo and the crime was laid to the revenge of the gang.
 In ~the trial, over TOO witnesses were heard, but not much was
