built, owned by foreigners. 30 cents; on
all others, 80 cents. In six years after
this legislation the American merchant
marine increased 400 per cent and was
carrying 50 per cent Of our commerce.
The policy was most distinctly justified
by the results.
It Is a question, however, whether a
return to this policy at this time would
have such results as followed Its adop-
ton at the beginning of the govern
ment, so wholly unlike the conditions
then are those of the present. 1t Is
quite possible that discriminating duties
in favor of American ships, under pres
ent circumstances, would be met with
retaliation on the part OF foreign gov
ernments that would operate to the dis
advantage of American producers. The
problem OF building up a merchant
marine is a p%erplexing one. but there
is none more important that awaits So
linton.

orr WITH ruE HAT.


Chicago Times Herald: The latest Ohio
idea that threatens to increase the hatless
hosts In the Fog lick anti-theater hat bill.
which has Just passed the lower house of the
Ohio legislature. Mr.. Fosdick is sincere In
the belief that a man who pays SO for n seat
at a theater and has to st behind a hanging
garden Of roses. waving plumes and gayly
pinioned birds, should have some means OF
redress. Under the Fosiick bill, however.
the redress will not como from the woman
she VIII continue to dress as she pleases-but
from the owner Of the theater, who Is liable
to a hne for allowing hats of unusual pro-
portions to enter his playhouse.
Chica go Record: Too ofteu the gentlemen
who gather in Columbus to make laws and
states have found the architectural elevations
of women's headgcar between their tantalized
eyes and the serpentine curves Of the skirt
dance or the nimble heels OF the soWbrette.
Their collective indignation broke Its bounds
day before yesterday when the Fosdick bill
to prohibit the wearing Of high hats by
women in theaters was passed by the house.
But 1t is one thing to pass a bill and an
other to enforce the act. The women of Ohio
have fighting blood In their veins. and the
probability is that theater hats will be higher
than ever In the free commonwealth OF VIII
liam Mckinley.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Lovely woman must
be made to take off her hat. Men voluntarily
remove their tiles upon entrance to a public
building. Now that woman has become a
lawyer, a doctor, n store keeper, a typewriter,
a newspaper person, a voter. and a demander
of all public and political rights. she must
accustom herself to the performance OF all
public duties; not least of which is abstinence
from her long-cherished habit of making the
stage a dark and loathsome void to whom
soever fate and the box office may have
seated behind her. So long as woman was
content to be the vine, clinging to the oak,
80 long the oak complalningly sat and let the
vine climb over its eyes and hide the stage
from its view. But now that woman has
voted herself to be an independent sapling
she must not wave her branches to the
exclusion of light from the oak. Those
women who are lawyers will recognize tho
doctrine of easements--than which none is
more healthful to a dense population-in the
prohibitory act OF Ohio.

THE pRop0 ED VIEW DEPARTMENT.

IIIH IItcIc " GD ~ I'M ~
AT the last convention Of the National
Association of Manufacturers a resolu-
ton was adopted asking congress to
create Il department of manufactures
and commerce, with a secretary who
should have n seat in The cabinet.
Senator Frye Il short time ago intro
duced Il bill in compliance win this
request which has the approval of the
manufacturers of the country repre-
scented in the national association and
doubtless of others. The measure pro-
vides that the department of
and manufactures shall have general
Jurisdiction over the foreign and in
except in so far as relates To the col
lection of the revenue aud the Gdminis-
tration of the customs AMI internal
revenue laws; also jurisdiction over all
matters relating 10 the manufacturing
interests of the United States. including
the extension of foreign markets for
the same and the increase of trade and
trade facilities with foreign countries.
The secretary of ommerc and manu-
features shall have and perform all the
duties now incumbent upon the secre-
tary of the treasury in relation to the
trade and commerce of the United
States. whether the same be upon land
or water. 1t is provided that a number
of the bureaus in the Treasury depart
ment shall be transferred to the new
department and that il shall also have
jurisdiction of the consular service as
to all matters connected with the COM
mercial interests of the country.
1t is urged in behalf of such II de-
partment that ii would be able to do
foreign commerce, especially with the
Spunish-American countries. 1t APP
pears to be the intention of the National
Association of Manufacturers to bring
to bear all the influence it can command
In favor of the passage of Senator
Frye's bill and with such support the
measure is Very likely to receive seri-
Gus attention from congress. 1t is said
that the proposed new department
would not materially increase the public
expenditures, while there would be Sc
cured greater efficiency In II work of
the several bureaus which would be
transferred from the Treasury depart
ment. If these assertions of the adyo-
Gates of creating nm additional executive
department could be absolutely assured
OF realization there would probably b.
very little objection or opposition 10
their proposal, but with the example of
the Agricultural department before
them the people are justified in doubt

CHARITY.

The poor we have always with us.
The problem of charity is two-fold-tirst
to relieve present distress. and second to
prevent Il recurrence of the conditions
that compel n man to become depend
ent upon others for the necessities Of
life. From the extreme of socialism,
which teaches that he community owes
every one II living. or at least an op-
portunity to make n living. to the ex-
IRENE of indiv idualism that absolves
every one from I'LL social duty to his
neighbor. thefei isha vast debatable field
in which charity finds scope for expert
ment. og5o.
The pauper may be a social parasite,
as was recently declared in IL lecture
by Mr.. Alexander johnson, secretary
of the. Indianna State Board of Chart
ties and Corrections. But when Mr..
johnson, goes further and says that the
three eSsentialS'o pauperism are pow
erty, ~laziness |and charity, and that
pauperism would become extinct if the
worlds stream of charity could be dried
forsene montlG 9he' makes an ,arraigp-
ment Of what is commonly accredited
one of the highest human virtues. that
must call forth a vigorous dissent from
nearly every II engaged in charitable
work OF. contributing to the support of
charitable institutions. If charity is to
be classed with the pernicious evils from
which professional pauperism takes it's
birth and feeds and f~attens, then we
must revise our list of ethical precepts
and make charity something to be
avoided and stunned rather than TO be
praised and practiced.
1t is to be noted that Mr.. Johnson's
charges distinguish between poverty
and pauperism. Poverty may arise of
it's own accord, but in his theory it
can be transformed into pauperism only
by the addition. of charity. How deal
with poverty. however, If charity is to
be eliminated? Misguided philanthropy
may be the cause of a considerable part
of pauperism, but true charity must
often have rescued the unfortunate
from poverty from which they were fast
sinking into the next lower category.
The possibility of reforming even the
professional pauper by well directed
efforts of the charitably inclined must
be generally admitted. What is de-
manded is not the abolition of charity
for one month or for II day, but a
more discriminating charity, and one
that will take account of personal con-
ditions and individual environment.

Slaughter of the Birds.
Glnha-D

A leading American ornithologist says that
som of our most desirable birds are threat
ened with determination. The common quail
and rufled grouse are becoming very scarce.
Wrens and bluebirds are driven from their
old haunts by sparrows. Terms are slaugh-
tered by thousands for the millinery bust
ness. and Florida is similarly despoiled of it's
herons, ibis, pelicans and smaller birds. The
wild pigeon has disappeared. Fashion at
present is the greatest enemy Of bird life,
but collectors of eggs are also responsible for
great destruction. Protection of birds must
come through the education Of the people,
especially the rising generation, and by pro-
tective legislation sustained by game war
dens. Thus far no state legislature has
given the subject the attention 1t deserves,
and must soon demand If the present ravages
continue.

TIE ~dRE1rER NEW YORK.

ttiN
The Greater New. York bill. which
has passed the legislature of that state,
will undoubtedly be approved by the
governor, ~whcreupon the municipality
of New York will become, in point of
population, the second in Ii world.
According to the census of 1890 New
York county contained 1.515,301 inhabi-
tants, Kings county S3S,547, Richmond
county 81, 693-a total population for
these three counties, embraced in the
greater New York, of 2~,405,541. A
part of Westminster county and sew
eral towns are also taken into the new
municipality, which will swell the total
population to more than two and a half
millions, taking the figures of the last
federal census. but by latest estimates
to not far from 3.O00.0O0. London has
IL population pretty close to 100000,
Paris about $500, 900. and Berlin 1.T00,-
600. New York has been growing more
rapidly for the past twenty years than
any of the great cities of Europe and
there is good reason to expect that the
growth of the entire territory that Is
to be included in that municipality
will be even more rapid than it has
been. If this expectation is realized
New York will probably have a popu-
lation II quarter of a century hence,
or say by 1920, greater than London,
and will have become the first city in
the world in the number of its inhabi-
tants, and possibly also the greatest

There is no question that the admin
istration of the copyright law could be
simpliied and systematizcd. A copy
right is worth nothing unless it is
effective to prevent others from making
free use of matter published to the
whole world. On the other hand, copy
rights have been issued without dis
elimination or consideration to parties
who have no right to take out n copy
right. Between the two the life of an
author is not necessarily n reminder of
