Mr.. Red6eld's Talk and Money.

Secretary of Commerce William c. Redfeld has
some very clear ideas the promotion of industry,
which he has recently expressed by word and deed.
For thirty years actively identified with manufactur-
ing concerns employing workers in large numbers he
was an authority laborng and industrial conditions
before he became the head of important executive
department so his views may be accepted as of real
value.
Almost at the same time that he contributed s. 900
toward fund of $Iooooo, which the National So
ciety for the Promotion of Industrial Education is
raising for the practical trainngo of workers. Mr. Red
field in address to Brown University students at
Providence, R. u said:
The strenuous life is in most cases the least ef-
fective and efficient. II is infantile view of in
dustry which measures its results by either the dura

Municipal ownership of public utnnes y qisSsssf

|crosser b providing for the purchase By the Dis
rct Of the street railway systems, WIN NOT BE enacted
into law at this session. fortunately TOR the Nstfses
Commissioners, who are not in the smallest degree
equipped for putting such law into effect and TOT
the people of Washington, who would naturally De
plore the jeopardzng Of the present efficient street
car service, with the attendant probability OF being
compelled to submit heavier taxation for the sup
port of an inefficient one. -
The people generally were fully aware, in advance
of the revelations at the hearing on the Crosser b
before the House District Committee that the step
contemplated is vitality important one and in this
respect apparently they have the advantage OF those
who are seeking to accomplish it. From the Official
standpoint municipal ownership has been approached
with serene confidence that is admirable. but not
convincing. Nobody, of course comedies with Mr..
Crossers contention that the Washington street rail-
ways could be acquired or duplicated for $aoooocoo
II is much easier to accept the estimate of President
Clarence P. King of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company that the transaction would require
the investment of $z5oooooo $apoooooo for which
bonds bearing interest at per cent would have to be
issuedS
This is point which certainly seems to call for
eucidation in detail by the District Commissioners,
who approve the Crosser bill
What will municipal ownership cost the people
of Washington and what they offered in return!
Will the rate of fare be reduced will the length
Of the fve-cent ride be increased and how, and why!
Will the revenues pay the interest on the bond
issue or will it be necessary to increase taxation to
meet it?
At what rate of interest can the bonds be market
ed and where?
Surely these are only few of the many impor-
tant questions to which the District Commissioners
will be required to make satisfactory reply before the
Crosser bill can proceed far its passage. Test-
mony given before the House District Committee Is
interesting but not specific and far little of it has
related to actual conditions in Washington Before
a big bond issue is authorized the people should at
least be given opportunity to judge whether they

SENATOR ROOT SHOULD STAY.
His Brand of statesman IL Needed
in the senate.

The people Of the State of New York
are to be congratulated upon having in
the person of Senator Root in the United
States Senate a man who has a real
sense of national honor. Governed as We
are by pettifogging politicians. half
baked Socialists and those who have no
interest In public affairs except to re-
main in them, whose chief concern Is
to find out the sentiment" rather than TO
educate. the right-thinking and intelli-
gent people Of this State should demand
that Senator Root. II his health will per-
NIT. though that would be a sacrifice 10
him otherwise, stand as the Republican
candidate for Senator at this falls cleo
ton.

man apparently is approaching Its de-
mise. but we cannot believe that 50 dark
a prediction of the future Of this coun-
try can be true. Men have always arisen
At crises to defend the national honor
and to save the people from themselves.
This Is today Senator Roots duty. He
has been doing public duty for many
years. He saved the Roosevelt admin
istration from the wreck which that
foolhardy and Illogical character would
have brought upon II. He Is needed
now, especially when II appears that
return of the Republican party to power
is absolutely certain. That return will
be useless to the country unless II car

Under the Capitol Dome.

Senators Walsh, Pomerene, and Kenyon
were appointed conferees on the Poin-
dexter bill providing for a temporary
scheme of election for United States
Senators, pending action of the legisla-
lures OF the several States on this sub
ject.
The Senate yesterday passed a bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the construction
Of oeagoing vessel and motorboats to
be used for the protection of fur bear
ing animals along the coast Of Alaska.
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
Senate Interstate. Commerce Committee
announced the trust bill will be taken up
in the executive session of the committee
on Monday or Tuesday and probably
would be reported to the Senate by the
end Of next week.
Chairman Rucker, of the House Elec.
tions Committee, gave notice yesterday
he would call up today the resolution

Discovery Of the Rio Teodoro.

Better climb on the wagon now with the original
Rio Teodoro men. There's nothing to gain and
everything to lose by waiting, though some
trifing discrepancies do remain. Henry Gannett,
president of the National Geographic Society," says
careful examination of the best and latest maps re-
veals unexpiored territory in Brazil plenty large
enough to hold river 1000 miles long. The maps,
he declares show stream in the wide territory to
the south of the Madeira River between longitude 10
and degrees south and the rainfall there is about
the heaviest in the world the existence of large river
is quite probable.
Prof Gannett very properly adds that eff Sir
Clementz Markham the English scientist, thinks this
isn't new river it's up to him to point out which
of the rivers already mapped the Roosevelt river is.
In the name of the colonel defy Sir Clementz We
defy him and we stand by Prof. Gannet in spite OF
the words the cable brings from Bridgetown, Bar
BADGES, quoting Col Roosevelt saying that "the
best existing maps are utterly wrong in regard to all
this part of South America and they make mistakes
as to the courses of the Gyparana and Juruena at
heunts" Quite likely he hasn't seen Prof Gannetts
latest and best maps which clearly indicate that
river might and as matter of fact, really ought to
exist right where the colonel found it.
Happily, however we have direct and authorita-
tive information, which must convince even Sir
Clementz Markham. Here it is, from The Outlook
which it is only natural to assume knows the exact
truth about the achievements of its associate editor
and exp1orer-correspondent:
Part of the Rio Duvida explored by Col. Roose-
welt had never before been seen by civilized man
incidentally the Brazilian government intends to re-
name the river and call the Rio Teodoro in honor
of Col Roosevelt "Teodoro" is the way the Braziians
spell Theodore. 1t was thought best to use Mr.
Rooseyelts Christian name instead of his surname
because Brazilans find it extremely difficult to pro-
nounce the latter correctly.
The river which Col Roosevelt discovered is to
have its name changed. Rio Teodoro is, of course
much more suitable than the the river bore be-
fore it was discovered. Rio Roosevelt undoubtedly
would be better, but as The Outlook explains, the
Brazilians find it difficult to pronounce it correctly
And what use is new river 1000 miles long if you
can't pronounce its name. So Rio Teodoro it is

Wheat In Kansas.

Farmers in some parts OF the State are
complaining that their wheat Is growing
too rapidly. 1t is too tall for the time
of year and the fear is that II will all go
to stalk. Out about Salina some farmers
are running their mowers through the
wheat fields. cutting of the tops of the
stalks. Secretary Coburn reports the con-
dition OF the wheat in the State as the
best since 1903 with the highest acreage
in the history of the State. Injury to

least in years. There are but few pests
reported and everything points to q great
