"The St Louis Globe Democrat" are responsible LOT
more errors than any other class of people on the
planet They use sometimes half a dozen different
scales Of size In single book, and it is impossible Tor
children to get correct idea OF the relative sizes OF
different countries because OF the lack OF uniformity IN
the scale. In an atlas for school use all the maps
should be on the same SCALE otherwise most incorrect
ideas will be formed recently asked bright scnooi-

Der of farms in the State. There is nothing dis
turbng in these figures

One or two Of the speakers at the recent Uni
versity Convooation expressed the opinion that
the term University Extension was too pretentious
n name for the thing for which it stands, and it
was suggested that Educational Extension would
be a better designation. Fortunately the sugges
ton did not meet with much favor. 1t is always
dangerous to tamper with established names. Uni
versity Extension is well-known thing by this
time, and there is ground for apprehension that
it will be taken for something that it is not. The
essential point is the thing itself, and that head
the friends of the movement have every reason to
feel encouraged and confident.

ENGLAND IN SOUTH AMERICA.


Sir John Lubbock recently expressed surprise
that none of the South American republics had
ever sought to become colonies OF the British
Empire lie explained the advantages which
the Argentine Confederation would have en-
iOyed in obtaining low rates OF interest if it
had been a British dependency, and assumed
that the Chilans would have avoided the hor-
rors Of civil war if they could have appealed
to the Queens Pryy Council. These comments
are taken up with signs of approval by an
English weekly journal, and limitations are
given that, while extreme miSgovernment is
possible under constitutional systems modelled
on that Of the United States the South Amen-
can States as dependencies Of the British En-
pire would have credit on the easiest terms in
London and would speedily advance in wealth
and prosperity.
There is another way Of looking at this ques-
ton Of all the South American States the
Argentine Confederation and Chill have been
most largely influenced by England, and have
had the least intercourse with the United States.
A large share OF the enormous sum of 81, 500,-
600, 900 which has been advanced from Eng
land to Spanish America has gone TO the Argen-
tine. In Chill the investments Of London cap
ital amount to 1926, 900 900, distributed among
national securities, nitrate and railway COM
panies mining and Joint stock corporations,
steamship interests and mercantile establish
ments. The two countries have been converted
into commercial dependencies of Great Britain,
and the closest possible relations have been
cultivated with them. AT the Pan-American
Conference Chill and the Argentine Confedera-
ton were apparently animated by an English

The Tribune printed last Sunday dispatch
from Bar Harbor containing, as we supposed, a
report of n talk with Mr. Blaine about his health
and his present mode of life. 1t came from
Maine journalist who was known to a member
Of our staff as a man Of fair reputation, and we
had no doubt Of its authenticity 1t now appears
that we were imposed on, and that the dispatch
in question was essentially n fabrication. IL is
only just therefore, TO Mr.. Blaine and 10 our read
ers that we should express our regret that we
were thus deceived by false appearance of ac-
curacy and good faith. 1t is a great satisfaction
to know, however that Mr.. Blaine's progress to-
ward complete recovery of health and vigor was
not exaggerated in that unauthorized account Of
his condition, and that his improvement is rapid
and continuous.

Tho French Cabinet is reported to have adj
mtted to Lord Salisbury that the commander of
the Drac, who recently interviewed to prevent
Newfoundland fishermen in st. Georges Bay from
batting some American fishing schooners acted
outside of his orders. We advise the Gloucester
fishermen to receive this report with caution.
The commander Of the Drac did nothing that was
not similar in kind to the prohibitions laid by
his predecessors last year upon the French shore
residents, and those prohibitions were courngeOusly
defended by France. Despite Lord Salisbury's
nsistence that France possessed no sovereign func
ton in Newfoundland waters, and must not at
tempt to enforce its claims upon British subjects,
NJ Washington plainly told him that France held
different views and could not consent to hold her
rights subject TO an authority which disputed
them. This means that the Drac did precisely
that which NJ Ribot intended she should do.
The fishermen of Gloucester in this juncture
should obtain definition of their rights along the
French shore from Washington.

If the other Excise Commissioners had as
much regard for The proprieties as President
Meakim, there would be no doubt about the
revocation of the license of the place in which
"Ther Allen received his injuries the other
day. The facts contained in Captain Brogans
report are convincing TO any open minded man
but we do not expect Commissioners Koch and
Ftzpatrick to take that view. They knew sub
stantially the same facts on the same author
ity, when, against Mr.. Meakim's protest they
granted the license last September. The record
of arrests of bartenders, ETC., in this resort fur
nishes an interesting and valuable lesson in
applied excise methods in New-York City. How
much influence Allen himself had with the EX-

The celebration by the Society of Authors in
London of the cOnsummation Of international
copyright juStities itself. The enactment Of our
Copyright law is not only a triumph for the
men who WELD the pen, but for common hon
esty and fair dealing between man and man.
Our English friends are naturally deeply inter
ested in the question and the new conditions
which have been established and there was a
really notable gathering at the celebration last
evening. The cable tells us only what Minister
Lincoln had to say in answer to toast-a
speech full of sound sense apropOs to the legiS-

of international irritation and given a new
