WILL THe PRESIDENT CALL ITf The present short session of con gress Is gradually coming to an end, with the chances growing less and leas each day for any action giving greater authority to the Interstate Commerce Commission In Its dealing with railroad rates and In regulating the same. About the time the coun try thought the tariff question was the one that needed attention, the president diverted attention to the railroads by a message In which he advocated empowering the commls- clon with authority to deal with the rate question. Last Monday night, In a speech before the Union League, of Philadelphia, the president re stated his position and urged the rich magnates who compose the league to Join In his effort to remedy the wrongs which he intimates the rail roads arel guilty of It Is protty well conceded that the Tho railroads aro taking the Initia tive In advocating rate reforms.

"Don’t coddle your rubber plants,” says Country Llfo In Amorlca. That’s Just what ovory husband In tbo coun try has been saying ever since the rubber plant mania seised tho wo- men. Tho committee of laborers who call ed on tho Cur the other day listened attentively to his little speech and then went off and held a prayov- mectlng. There Is no record, though, tbat It was a thanksgiving service. Swayno Impeachment trial and tbe other matters before the present con gress will I take up all of the time which thatibody will have at this ses sion. Now, the question Is will the president cnll an extra session of con gress to take up the question which seems to he a hobby with him at the present time? If the president’s par ty will sltintl squarely behind him In his effort, It will not require very long to enact tho law which will give tho commission nil of tho power which Mr. Roosevelt would wish Invested in It. The Democrats are all wit hhlm In his light at tho present time, al though many of them might "go over” It. Tho Democrats aro all with him backing hint up too strongly too. It really looks now as though the president's party Is not enthusing oven a littlo bit over tho campaign which he is making. Thoy are follow.

Lot us soo If ho calls It—and then keep an eye on the main ring as the porformanco proceeds. Dr. Drown, of tho Now York board of health, suggests that nil the idlotj should ho drownod. Other men who havo entertained the same Idea have been afraid to express It, sntlclpating their own fato, If It should become a law.

LE880N8 FROM THE JAPANE8E. Whllo Mr. Wu Ting Fang was min ister to the United States from Chi na ho used to mako occasional spoochos on tho Eastern civilisation, In which ho claimed that whllo tho Christian nations would havo a great Influence upon China, through their missionary efforts, China would nl- bo have a very wonderful Influence upon thoso nations thnt put them selves In touch with her. Tho writer has heard Dr. Young J. Allen, a mis sionary In China for n half a centu ry, say on more than one occasion that tho Chlneso, morally and ethically arc considerably ahead of us. He said that It was the shortcom ings of tho Christian nations which made the work of the. missionary so hard In the Flowery kingdom. The better class of Chinese wore so well ducated, he said, and so well train ed morully that they refused to take up tho teachings of tho missionaries, because, he said, Ihey bclievo the Christian nations and people do not practice what they preach. It was Just a little while ago that a looked upon Japan ns a dark, heathen nation, just ns wo lmve bec-n taught to regard China. Since the war between China and Japan eight or nine years ago we havo found out moro about the little brown people, and since the dispute arose between Russia and Jnpan we have learned •till mote about them. The more we have aoen of the Japanese character tho more we have been surprised and the more we moat admire tbe little conning people of the Island empire. Take them all around—In the habits of their living, their eating and drink ing, their dally exercises, their pa triotism, their defiance of death for the sake of their country, end yet their kindly treatment of an enemy whom they hare every reason to hate —and we find In this phase of the Eastern civilisation an example wor thy of emulation In many of Its parts. As Minister Wu always said, our own civilization may yet find something In China that will also lead It upon ( a higher plane. A recent act of the Japanese In their treatment of the Russians will stand out boldly as an example worthy uf the best Christian teachings. We all remember how the Russian sol diers were treated at the tall of Fort Arthur and what a cordial reception the brave Russian officers received In Japan. A correspondent said at the time that Japan was treating her ob stinate enemy with greater considera tion than the Russians were treated in their own country. Now comes the report that the Japanese officials are going a step further In tnelr conduct toward the 60,000 Russian prisoners which they have In their keeping. They find that 80 per cent, of the Russians are uneducated white men, with little hope In the world when they are released from prison. Ac cordingly, the Japanese are going to provide educational facilities for these men, by allowing tho educated prisoners to teach those who are not, thus establishing a system of schools among the Russian prisoners. When Uncle Sam transported the soldiers of poverty-stricken Spain back to their native land after the hostilities In Cubs, our conduct was applauded throughout the world, and we pointed to It aa a model by which other nations should be guided in fu ture. Our conduct might have been partly Inspired by a consciousness that we had not done exactly the right thing toward Spain In starting the war, or wo may have been very anx ious to get all of the Spaniards out of Cuba. Be that as it may, our oonduet at that time does not show any higher quality of magnanimity than hak been shown-a* half -a -<teaca-t!l*arW”thff plants.

Tbe mule may not put on as many airs as the horse does, but When It comes down to painstaking ejffon, for doing thor ough work, he his the horse "skinned a wholo city block.” The noble rec ord which the mule has made should not be hidden i under the derision which meets hlji at every turn, for when compared frith any other living creature in the) animal kingdom he shows up second to none in the intelli* gence, as well aa fidelity to those who treat him as all good animals should be treated. 1 i An English coijrt has decided that a man who earns his living by a pro* fesaloq, trade or other occupation is not a “gentleman!” According to that definition, any ni^nber of “gentlemen” can be found in America, If one will take the troubleito hunt them up In empty houses, cars. 10 |V i, An aystacks and box ATTENTION, FARMERS!

THE MUCH ABU8ED MULE. This Is the season of the year when the farmer’s thoughts begin to turn toward the much abusod mule. Many of them are now buying mules to use In making the coming crop. Those who have to buy have a notion that the mulo is preferable for farming purposes to tho horce or any other animal, but very few of them stop to consider how really valuable the mule Is. It was recently stated that mules voted la tho recent election In Colorado, tho statement being made In dorinton of tho mule as well as of tho Colorado election. The fact is that the mule is about as much enti tled to cast a ballot ns any other ani mal in the world. Ho is not only in telligent, but he contributes as much to the increasing wealth of the coun try as any other animal. For farm work, there Is no animal In tho world that can approach him. A draft horse is usually worn out in from ten to twelve years, while the mub can stand tho wear and tear of •nuous life, as well as tho abuse which Is heaped upon him, for eigh teen or twenty years with all ease. The old Joke about tho kicking quail- of the mule is the purest fiction. Not one man In a dozen can recall half ns many Instances of Injury inflicted by n mule as they can by horses. There are u half a dozen runaway scrapes by horses to every one that can be mentioned by mules. When a horse runs- away, he loses all in telligence, if he ever had any, and would as soon run down an embank ment or Into a moving train as to keep tho level road. The mulo Is dif ferent. When he runs away keeps in tho middle of the and a little child might stand ii the road without the slightest dangei though a drove of mules should como stampeded.
