CIRCULATION 1901, average every ¥, D, 1003, AVORDER . oivoasonnsans CHANGEABLE LEADER. f As le as ever, Colonel Roosevelt ha seems to know his own mind on the question of the temporary chair- manship at Chicago when the national republican convention opens June 18. Personally he is opposed to Senator Root because Root has come out for Taft. His advisers have informed him that it would be unwise to insist on the opposition to Root, for many ‘of the Colonel's followers are for the senator. This bothers Roosevelt, He never likes to take advice and his latest dec- laration is that he will not indorse Root, but will make a fight to place his man in the position of temporary ebairman. This rally 1s like a forlorn hope, What backing he has for tha nominatien is not with him on that point The Colonel is proving a poor practi- tioner of his preaching. He has con- ducted a eampaign in which he has had much to say about the bosses and the rule of the people. When it comes to applying his doctrines to personal use he cannot resist his controlling pas- sicn, which is to be the boss himse For that reason, any denial he makes that he will be at the Chicago conven- tion has to be taken with a grain of | salt. He has changed his mind on be- *oming & candidate, on reciprocity, on e temporary chairmanship, and it} 10w looks very much as if he will do | 15 It is expected he will, and be the eader of his own candidacy at Chicago. | A LESSON FROM THE DANES. In the effort that is being made to secure cheaper money for the farmers tc permit the increasing of their busi- ness, Denmark offers an example and a lesson that will be of much profit here. That country, which has but about 15,000 square miles, supports at least two and a half million people in very good condition, and at the same time sends out of the country, butter, tacon and eggs conservatively estimat- ed at $150,000,000. It is a country of no very rich people and no illiteracy. Great stress is put on education, and it is - compulsory every one over seven being able to read and write.. Through this the countrs has had an awakening to its possibi ties and how to make the most of then Agriculture is the chief business of the Danes, and the government being de- pendent upon the farmers d y thing in its power to increase the num- ber of small farms and make money as cheap as possible for them by tablishing a system of banks man- aged much after the Credit Foncier in France, By this system it is possible for an agricultural laborer after five years' work, even though he may be poor, but has character of high enough stand to gecure the endorsement of two of his neighbors thereto, to secure over $1,500 62 that character and ability for the, purchase of a small farm. There are | people thers falrly well off, but the poorer a Dane | more he conserves | his reseurces. This conservation of the interests of the people and by the peo- ple of n, ir own resources has made Denmark what it is, es- PARCELS POST BILLS. | er There are before congress at least three bills which have to do with par- cels posis. The endorsement recently of the Bourne bili by Postmaster Gen- eral Hiichcock will call particular at- tzntlon to that meagure, which, how- ever, has not yet been considered by either house. The bill is calculated to favor local business without doing great injury to the larger trade. By | the bill there would be postal zones established with different rates, and at ! the game time consolidate the third and feurth classes of mail matter, For rurval er city delivery a rate of five cents for | the first pound and a cent a pound up | to eleven pounds would be the charge thereafter, It is drawn to overcoma tag flat rate, which it {3 thought wanld | be impractical in a ntry of thi A bill call for the Aat rate fore congr: howey and is } a% the Bulzer bill.

The steady soaring in the price of beef until it has reached its highest point has been the means of starting another investigation by the govern-. ment. When it gets to such a stage that the coal and beef barons place the price of eommedities further and further away from the reach of the people, it is time something was done to find out why they sheuld not give the people a square deal. Both, fortunately, come at a time when the people are best able te get along witheut them. The reports, how- ever, do not show that they are doing so, particularly in regard to beef. It is found that for ten menths of the fiscal year the experis of meats have exceeded a like period last year by over a milllon a month and there have been heavy receipts of meat in eastern de- prots, The bureau of statistics shows that at seven western markets for the four meonths epding with April, the receipt of llvestock was greater than at any similar perfed in the past ten vears. This does not bear out the claim of the packers that the high price is due to a scarcity of cattle, and at the same time the receipt of large quantities of meat by the large cities shows thai the people are buying the usual ameunt and paying what is de- manded, The government recently failed in its prosecution, but is not dismayed. 1, however, has an important duty to perform in the investigation, and the result may be anether sult against the packers, i e PHILIPPINE SERVICE. Some idea of the great amount of good that is being done for the Phil- ippines is to be gained from the great progress that is being made there in educational lines through the bureau of insular affairs and educatioen. The selection of one hundred American teachers to go Into the educational work there, coming as they do fram the best universities, colleges and nor- mal schools, indicates that the proper equipment is being given the island possession for its steady advancement. There has been most remarkable prog- ress dn the development of the Ameri- can public school system there, Local conditions, which were pecullar, were met, and there are now 9,000 Ameri- can and Filipino teachers engaged in educational work there. While the organization is enly in its primitive stage there at the present time, the addition to the force each year of the best to be had in this country is gradually perfecting the system, which is bound to have its effect. Surely this country is discharg- ing its obligation to the eastern pose sessions in true American style. It is no little sacrifice for the 100 teachers to go into the east, even though it be for good salaries, and struggle among a race which in some quarters of the island has not reached the state of civ- ilization, but they have the opportun- ity to assist materially in the selution of the educational problems there anfl what the outcome will be remains to be seen. Surely the Philippines ought to be the center of steadily increasing activities. EDITORIAL NOTES.

I did not tell her I had eaten it, because I never believe in precipitating any unpleasantness, but I determined to have Cousin Fannie make a big fruit cake for me to give Uncle Bob on his birthday. “Cfan’t I do something to help you?”’ 1 asked. “Of course, I cdn’t dig or plant things in these clothes, but isn't there some way I can assist with the | ning?
