lndusary and Commerce.
We approve in general the exist
ing Federal legislation against mon
oply and combinations in restraint
of trade, but since the known ce,'-
tainty of law is the safety of all, we
advocate such amendment as will
provide American business men with
better means of determining in ad
vance whether proposed combna-
ton is or is not unlawful.
The Federal trade commission, un-
der Democratic administration,
has not accomplished the purpose for
which it was created. This commits
sion, properly organized and its du-
ties efficiently administered, should
afford protection to the public AMI
legitimate business in this. There
should be no persecution of honest
business, but to the extent that cir
cumstances warrant we pledge our
selves to strengthen the law against
unfair practices.
We pledge the party to an imme-
date resumption of trade relations
with every nation with which we are
at peace.
Trade and Tariff
ha DO,
tiOns of international balances, the
abnormal economic and trade stua-
ton of the world, and the impossible
ity of forecasting accurately even the
near future, preclude the formulation
of definite program to meet condi-
tons year hence. But the Repub
fican party re-affirmed it's belief in
the protective principle, and pledged
itself to revision of the tariff as y
condition shall make it necessary for
the preservation of the home markcf
for American labor, agriculture and
industry
Merchant Marine.
The national defense and of our
foreign commerce require a merchant
marine of the best type of modern
ship flying the American flag, manned
by American seamen, owned by pri-
vate capital and operated by private
energy.
Merchant Marine Approved.
We endorse the sound legislation
recently enacted by the Republican
Congress that will insure the promo
ton and maintenance of the Ameri-
can merchant marine.
We favor the application of the
workmen's compensation acts to the
merchant marine
We recommend that all ships en-
gagged in coastwise trade and all YES
sells of the American merchant ma
rine shall pass through the Panama
canal, without premium or tolls.
Immigration.
The standard of living and the
standard of citizenship are of its
most precious possessions and the
preservation and elevation of those
standards is the first duty of our gov
eminent.
The immigration policy of the Unit.
ed State should be such as to insure
that the number of foreigners in the
country at any one time shall not ex-
coed that which can be assimilated
with reasonable rapidity and to fla
vor immigrants whose standards are
similar to ours.
Higher Tests Desired.
The selective tests that are at pres
ent applied should be improved by
requesting higher standard, a more
complete exclusion of mental defec-
tives and more effective inspection
applied as near the source of immi-
grafton as possible as well as at the
port of entry. Justice to the for

cepted the suggestion and the game
began. -.
| observed both players carefully.
I noticed at once that while Jaffe took
the game seriously, little Samuel
played "playfully". Each move of
Jaffe's required some or minutes
while Samuel would answer each move.
almost without deliberation. Occasion
ally Samuel would resent Jaffe's
hesitancy in making a move and
would then call out: "Say, be a man,
and make move, and he would look
down ironically at the veteran chess
player.
Samuel played the game, while.
continuing lying on the sofa and
playing with his legs all the time.
Suddenly he jumped up, sat down
and exclaimed very energetically:
"The party lasts too long,. He set
his little hat on tight, nervously
turned it around his head and turned
a button of his little coat. The child
ish face took serious expression and
he made loud combination which
move to make and then screamed out
triumphantly: "Mate in z moves"
But he added ironically: "But be sure,
Mr.. Jaffe to play well, else you will
be checkmated sooner" And SO it
really happened. Jaffe was check.

he seriously considered every move
before he made it.
Mr.. Jaffe then put the question to
the child whether he played well, but
the child was quick in his answer:
eyes, Mr.. Jaffe, you play well, but I
play better"
Mr.. Jaffe then asked the child what
he wanted to be when he grew up,

dictions with meals, and prays after
his meals. In short, his mode OF life
is that of an orthodox Jewish boy.
I then turned my conversation to
the parents themselves. They have
six children, of whom little Samuel is
the youngest. The oldest son is
very able young man, according to
his mother, but he is at present
soldier in the Polish Army. "The
father" says the mother, conducted
a dyeing business in Poland" and she
herself is descendent of great rab-
binical family. One of her ancestors
was no less parsonage than Rabbi
Jonathan Eibenschulz. The family
has lived in Ozorkov not far from
Lodz.
I have once been to Ozorkov. In the
beginning of 1915, as a war CORE
spondent made trip through LODI
and it's environs, to find out the con-
ditions of the Jews there and dis
cover the extent of their losses
through the inroads of Russian Cos
sacks. I then had occasion to call
Ozorkov "the happy town., because
that was the only town in the vicin-
ity which did not suffer pogrom.
I did not know then that Ozorkov
was to bear the distinction of being
the native town of the little genius.
And so it really is a happy coinci-
dence that the town was spared from
a pogrom. 1t was the only exception
among it's surroundings, and if not
for that happy coincidence, who can
tell but that the little genius would
not have been among us today.
In the meantime, Samuel finished
his killing" game. He then lay down
on, the sofa and began to play with
his little legs. After that he turned
to Mr.. Jaffe and suggested that they
play "blind" game, that is to say,

Genius In a Little

truth. It is the story of genius
in the little body of Samuel Res
zewski
I did not believe it at first. I was
under the impression that newspaper
reporters must have exaggerated
great deal. I thought they might
have reduced his age and exaggerat-
ed his work, and in such manner
created the impression OF wonder
child, great child genius.
Now he is with us in America: !
saw him and observed him and
must apologize for my previous
skepticism.
Before I went to see him, ] met
the well-known chess master,
Charles Jaffe, who told me that ne
had already met the young colleague.
Jaffe spoke Of little Rzeszewski with
a great deal Of enthusiasm, almost
the enthusiasm of young poet over
his lady-love He described to me
the wonderful contributions of the
young genius to the theory of the
royal game. Here is his statement:
"In the game of chess, Samuel
Rzeszewski shows remarkable abll-
ity. He surpasses in his mastery OF
the. game not only other players OF
his own age, but the wisest and most
expert players Of the first rank and
magnitude. Given any chess prob
lem, which an expert player could
not solve in less than Is or 20 min
utes, the wonder-child will solve it
without difficulty in two or three min
utes at the most, and add his own
variations to it.
ellis blind games are wonderful.
He plays quickly, originally and with
his own peculiar ideas and sugges-
tons. A few minutes will suffice for
him to find the hardest move and the
most complicated position"
After this statement, we went to
see the wonder-child.
We found him as he was playing
with little friend Of the family,
who came with him from Poland.
Samuel Rzeszewski was engaged in
knocking down his friend, jumping
around and upon him and shouting
that he would "kill" him. The child,
with a body of even less than eight
years in outward appearance, did not
make the impression of one who could
kill anyone. He looked pale, was
coughing after fashion, but his eyes
were bright and clear. An attempt on
nv part to interrupt him in his
"murderous" desire was without sue
cess.
"Please," said the child, "don't dis
turb me-. And it was said in such a
kind and yet energetic tone of voice
that I had to obey.

CITY IN AMERICA
Washington Has Larger Popu-

Census Shows.

During the past ten years the popu-
lation OF Washington has increased
106.602. according TO an announce
ment today OF William c. Hunt
chief statistician OF the Census Blu
reau. This makes a total popula-
tion OF Washington according to the
latest figures. of 1851, the District
ranking fourteenth among the cities
of the United States thus far an
nounced by the Census Bureau. The
District has a larger population than
the States of Arizona, Delaware,
Idaho, Montana. Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New Mexico. Vermont, Utah.
and Wyoming.
In figuring on the population OF the
District the census official divided
the city into nune subdivisions. OF
these districts the one which has
shown the most remarkable growth
recently is District which comprises
the territory north OF Florida avenue,
reached by the Fourteenth and Sew
enth street car lines, and having
Rock Creek Park for its western
boundary and North Capitol street
for its eastern limits. This area now
has population of 95,97S, an in
crease OF 95.6 per cent as compared
with a population of 49,067 in 1910.
and an increase of 315 per cent since
1900, when it's population was 23,12S.

to kill his wife. He said, witnesses
testified, he knew where the polsons

the murder.
Pettibone never admitted that he
