The course of instruction in smiling which Is proposed in the public schools of one of the large cities of the coun try ought to be popular. Will it be Kiven by the teacher of gymnastics or of psychology? Will it be compulsory for girls and elective for boys? Wilt it be possible to escape it by passing a satisfactory examination? Clerks should be the first patrons of such in struction, suggests, the Youth's Com panion. What is there about the task of selling buttons or ribbons or milk pans which casts a glooin over the countenance of the seller? It is a curi ous fact that "drummers" are a smil ing race, and clerks a sad one. Yet one would suppose that begging folk to buy would be a less cheerful occu pation than being entreated to sell. Can the general housework girl be taught to smile when unexpected com pany coines to dinner? Can the trolley ear conductor beam on the mother with three babies under five years old? Can the farmer's boy reply to the ques tion of the summer visitor with a grin instead of a scowl? The school board way well consider whether there is not some scheme by which a telephone girl can project a smile into her voice as she announces, "Double one four two, ring three—line busy!" When the Sunshine society can supply a smiling attachment for telephones and cash registers and phonographs and door bells and automobile horns, they will command a market. Meantime, may the course in smiling prosper, even if it. has to be catalogued under the head of ethics! Prom the state of Washington comes a story of a young woman who, seeing a bear in the back yard, got out her trusty 22-caliber rifle and pursued it up a tree. In South Dakota, the same day's dispatches relate, a young mar ried woman saw a cash prize hung tip for the best, corn-husker, and there upon went forth and pulled it down. This species of new woman, declare? the Chicago Daily News, will not be denied when she takes a notion that she wants the ballot. Let her eastern sisters enlist her in the cause and there will be some action in addition to a few sealplocks in the air. So long as man could say, "I'm your natural protector; home is the place for you," woman's cause looked doubtful. Now, however, since she is a mighty bear hunter and a nifty corn-picker, her chances for getting the ear of the White House as well as the sympa tliies of the common people ought to bo more than good. The chef of a fashionable New York restaurant serves real American beau ty roses as a salad, stuffing them with cheese and dressing them with mayon liaise, and is said to pride himself on the novel dish. That chef is a grace less wretch who ought to be drenched in mayonnaise himself along with the patrons who order the desecrated flower. American beauty salad, in deed ! An army officer in Washington was convicted of disorderly conduct on a street car, the evidence showing that it took five policemen to carry the bel ligerant officer to the hospital. The sen tence of dismissal was commuted, and with reason, for a fighter like that would be a great loss in time of active service. A .New York man has figured out ht»w by careful management an auto mobile can be kept, up at $2,300 per year. At that rate a SSO a-week man has only to figure further how to bring his other living expenses within S3OO, In order to reach the present goal of social ambition. The Swedish National Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis has recommended the gradual establish ment of 4,600 retreats for consump tives, to he scattered throughout the length and breadth of the country. The total cost will be nearly 11,000,000 crowns. Edison's prediction that heat from the sun will be utilized in such a man ner that fuel will be needless sounds hopeful. But the process \U' inittee has begun the drafting of a tariff 1)111 interest in the subject will |be greatly quickened. Not that tho j bill drafted is likely to he accepted in the form presented. That is most unlikely. The new ways and means committee must pass upon it, then the next house, and then the senate. Changes, and maybe many of them, are inevitable. But the hill will afford the basis for speculation as to what ; ihe contest will turn upon respecting i the meaning of the Chicago platform jln other words, what was compre i aop.ded now, in the promise of tarifi j revision? WINDOW GLASS TRUSHDIEO TAKES IN VIRTUALLY ALL MANU FACTURERS OF HAND-BLOWN GLASS IN COUNTRY. WAGE SCALE TO BE FIXED LATER Factories in Combine Are Located In Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Kan sas and California. Columbus, O. —After two days of conference and argument over terms of consolidation window glass manu facturers on Thursday in their meeting came to an agreement, and within a few days the Imperial Win dow Glass Co., which will include in its personnel practically every manu facturer of hand-blown window glass in the United States, will be launched. The capitalization of the company, its officers and other details were not definitely decided. Out of the 2,000 and more pots of the independent win dow glass factories, over 1,750 signed the agreement and when the remain ing factories, which are located in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, are heard from, the final touches will be put on the new corporation. W. .Tones & Co., who own three .arge plants in West Virginia, on Thursday decided to join the merger. It was the decision of this firm to enter the new company which made possible its organization, as without its factories the merger could not have been formed. It is probable that the headquarters of the new company will he in Pitts burg. The factories which will be con trolled are located in Ohio, West Vir ginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, N T ew York. Kansas and California. Pending the completion of the con solidation the question of the new wage scale will be allowed to lie as it is. Practically all of the factories are closed down by the strike of the work men, and when the new organization is completed, then the subject of a settlement will be taken up. Under present conditions in the glass trade, the owners of many of the factories are not anxious to operate, and both Messrs. Faulkner and Burns, leaders of the rival organizations of work men, were unable to obtain any official conference with the employers. Cleveland Jan. 15. —Declaring that it. would would mean a reduction of 40 per cent from the old straight list and lower wages than glass workers ever worked for under the sliding scale, President Faulkner of the Na tional Glass Workers says that organ ization could not countenance the plans proposed at the Columbus meet ing of manufacturers in the formation of the Imperial Glass Co., designed as an independent combination. Mr. Faulkner returned from Columbus with information that the organization named had, through committees, agreed upon a forfeit of SIOO per pot and that certain manufacturers would put plants out of blast until the work ers had coincided upon an agreement based on the selling price of 90-30 sin gle strength and 90-40 double strength. President Faulkner asserted that the workers could derive no benefit what ever under this arrangement and could do nothing other than continue the fight along the lines inaugurated when the strike of the glass workers was called. MINISTER'S BRAIN DISEASED Doctors Find Evidence of Decided Cer ebral Derangement in Murderer Carmichael. Detroit, Mich. —The brain of Rev. J. H. Carmichael, who killed Gideon Browning in the Rattle Run church and committed suicide at Carthage, 111., was examined by four physicians Thursday night. At the conclusion of the autopsy the physicians stated that they had found unmistakable evidence of insanity. "We find that Rev. Mr. Carmichael had been a sufferer from acute mania." said the physicians. "The blood vessels of the brain were all congested. There was an adhesion of the coverings of the brain to the cranium which showed an anaemia of the right side of the brain and we found granulations of the superior posterior surface of the cerebrum. It is evident that Rev. Carmichael had suffered several attacks of acute in flammation of the brain." The doctors agreed that the marks found upon the body, which had given rise to the report that the dead man had been addicted to the use of a hy podermic syringe for administering drugs, had all been made after the minister's death. Rev. Carmichael's funeral will be held Friday at Romulus, Mich., in the Methodist church, Rev. C. B. Steele, presiding elder of the Port Huron dis trict, officiating. More Night Riders Confess.

Outlines Policy that Government Should Adopt in Giving Public Property Over to Private Control. Washington. I'tcsidcni Roosevelt sent a special message to the house on Friday with his veto of the bill providing for the construction of a dam across James river in Stone county, Alissouri, the purpose of the dam being to get, water to create elec tric power, lie declared that the movement to secure control of the water power of the country Is still in its infancy, but that "unless it is con trolled the history of the oil industry will be repeated In the hydro-electric power Industry, with the results far more oppressive and disastrous for the people." "It is true," he added, "that, the great bulk of our potential water power is as yet undeveloped, but the sites which are now controlled by com binations are those which offer the greatest advantages and therefore hold strategic position." He says that "the bill gives to the grantee a valuable privilege, which by its very nature is monopolistic, anil does not contain the conditions essen tial to protect the public interest." Continuing, he says: I rppr-.it the words with which I con cluded inv message vetoing the Uainv River bill: In place of the present haphazard policy ef permanently alienating valuable public property we should substitute a definite policy along the following lines: First. There should be a limited or carefully guarded grant in the nature of an option or opportunity afforded within reasonable time for development of plans and for execution of the project. Second. Such a grant or concession should be accomplished in the act making the grant by a provision expressly mak ing it the duty of a designated official to annul the grant if the work is not begun or plans are not carried out in accord ance' with the authority granted. Third. It should also lie the duty of some designated official to see to it that in approving the plans the maximum de velopment of the navigation and power is assured, or at least that in making the plans these may not he so developed as ultimately to interfere with the better utilization of the water or complete de velopment of the power. Fourth. There should be a license fee or charge which, though small or nominal at the outset, can in the future be ad justed so as to secure n control in the in terest of the public. Fifth. Provision should he made for the termination of the grant or privilege at a definite time, leaving to future gen erations the power or authority to re new or extend the concession in accord ance with the conditions which mav pre vail at that tiine. Further reflection suggests a sixth con dition, viz: The license should lie forfeited upon proof that the licensee lias joined In any conspiracy or unlawful combination in re straint of trade, as is provided for grants of coal lands in Alaska by the act of May 28, 1908. I will sign no bill granting a privilege of this character which does not contain the substance of these conditions. I consider myself bound, as far as exercise of my ex ecutive power will allow, to do for the people, in prevention of monopoly of their resources, what I believe they would do for themselves if they were In a position to act. Accordingly I shall Insist upon the conditions mentioned above not only in acts which I sign, but also in passing upon plans for use of water power pre sented to the executive departments for action. The imposition of conditions lias received the sanction of congress in the general act of 1906, regulating the con struction of dams in navigable waters, which authorizes the Imposing of "such conditions and stipulations as the chief of engineers and the secretary ot war may deem necessary to protect the present and future interests of the United States." I .Inclose a letter from the commissioner of corporations, setting forth the results of his investigations and the evidence of the far-reaching plana and operations of the General Klectrie Co., the Westing house Electric and Manufacturing Co.. and other large concerns, for consolida tion of the water powers of the country under their control. I also inclose the memorandum of the solicitor general above referred to. I esteem it my duty to use every en deavor to prevent this growing monopoly, the most threatening which has ever ap peared. from being fastened upon the people of this nation. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE Dun & Co. Report General Progress, Except in Iron and Steel. New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Trade during the first half of Jan uary shows expected progress. New undertakings are encouraged by the more settled policy regarding large financial and industrial affairs and ample funds are available. Leading industries gradually increase working forces and output and while in most lines both continue below normal, the gains established in the closing months of last year are fully main tained. Disappointment is manifest in the iron and steel markets, demand lack ing snap and requirements coming out in a hesitating way. Better buying was expected owing to cheap money and the fact that the entire country is practically bare of finished goods. Lit tle inquiry is received from the rail roads. Hains Not Guilty.

SETEfiTEEN HOURS IN SADDLE ROOSEVELT SETS AN EXAMPLE FOR ARMY MEN TO FOLLOW. Pre»ident Made Trip to Prove to Mili tary Critics that 90 Miles in Threa Days Is Not Too Much. Washington.—President Roosevelt rode 98 miles on horseback on Wednesday, and when he dismounted at the White House door, more than 17 hours after having departed there from, he did not show any marked signs of weariness. The object of his long day in the saddle, he explained to a representative of the Associated Press after his return, was to "prove to the critics who have found fault with the recent order requiring all array and navy officers to take physical tests, that if a president who is not in training can ride 90 miles in one day without being laid up in bed thereby, it should not be too much to ask the men who are supposed to be in the best physical training all the time to ride 90 miles in three days." Mounting his faithful rider and jumped "Roswell" in front of the White House door at 3:30 o'clock Wednesday morning he dismounted at the same place at 8:40 Wednesday night. His journey was to Warren ton, Va., and back. On the return trip the last 30 miles of the journey were made in sleet and rain, while the last 15 miles were in almost pitch dark ness. When he dismounted his coat and hat were frozen stiff with sleet and ice. There were four relays of horses, the first stage of the journey out and the last in being made by the president on "Roswell"; the second out and third in being on "Georgia"; while the other two were on army horses which the president had never before mounted. As the four horseback riders, fol lowed by two policemen on wheels and the empty carriage drove into the sleet shimmering grounds surround ing the executive mansion, the presi dent in front with his broad brimmed black slouch hat drawn down over his face, presented a striking picture. Both the outward and the return trip lay through Fairfax courthouse to Warrenton. Arriving at the latter place about It o'clock, where the president's coming had been heralded an hour or so before his arrival, he was greeted by a gathering of citi zens and school children to whom he spoke a few words of greeting. In less than an hour after returning to the White House the president had changed his ice-coated clothing for evening dress and appeared in the din ing room, ready for as hearty a meal as he has eaten for a long time. If any of the critics of his "army riding order" had dropped in about that time they would have been sadly disappointed, for the president did not show in the least by his walk that he had been sitting for nearly 17 hours in a hard saddle. KING GETS FOURTEEN YEARS Convicted Boston Broker Accuses Thomas W. Lawson of His Financial Ruin. Boston, Mass. —Cardenio F. King, former financial agent and broker, who maintained palatial offices in Boston and New York and who for a short time was publisher of a daily paper here, was Wednesday night sentenced by Judge Schofleld in the superior criminal court to serve a term of not less than 10 and not more than 14 years at hard labor in the state prison at Charlestown. On December 29 King was convicted on 27 counts of an indictment charging him with larceny and embezzlement and with securing by false pretenses the sum of $22,000 from his customers. The sentence followed a dramatic statement by King in court, during which he reviewed the story of his life his flight from Boston and his travels in England, France and Ceylon. He declared that he was innocent of any wrong intent in any of his acts and in closing his address he accused Thomas W. Lawson of secretly fighting him and bringing him to financial ruin. The last move of Mr. King's attor ney to secure a delay took the form of a motion for a stay of execution which sought to have the imposing of sen tence delayed until Saturday. Judge Schofleld declined to grant the re quest, and imposed the sentence. Woman Perished in Fire. New Haven.
