Reciprocity Under the DfngIey In

The termination of the special conyen
items governing trade between England and
Germany and England and Belgium invites
particular attention TO the reciprocity
clause of the Dingley law 1t is expected
that new conventions will be negotiated to
take the place of the old and, of course.
entirely new reciprocal arrangements will
be effected between England and Canada
Talk OF tariff war growing out of the new
conditions is not credited anywhere Tariff
wars have never been profitable, and, be-
sides. reciprocity is recognized now as en-
titled to a place in the best directed eco
nomic policies.
the experience of this government with
reciprocity has been highly satisfactory
The special conventions negotiated under
the Mckinley law were all successful from
the American point of view and ought all
TO have been continued. In fact II was
their success which marked them for re-
peal when the democratic party returned
TO power in 1888 They were rapidly in
creasing the foreign trade of the country
by arrangements which, instead of being
special. the democracy held should be gem
eral- So they were repealed, and the step
proved to be one of several unwise steps
which marked the replacing of the Me-
kinley law with the Gorman-Wils law
There Is now an opportunity to try re-
ciprccity again and under new and i'm
proved conditions. Laws governing the
trade or other countries are about to I'M
dergc revision on reciprocity lines, and it
will be a good time for the United States
10 enlarge its commercial connections by
the same means. 1t has a good deal to
offer. and ii will not be difficult to obtain
a hearing in any quarter. As to the quar-
tiers that should be approached, that, of
course, is a question to be determined only
after the most thorough survey of the
whole field and the most careful balancing
OF all interests involved.
The reciprocity clause of the Dingley bill
was made part of that measure after full
discussion. 1t had the approval of the re-
publican members of both houses of Con-
gress. 1t received before it passed Con-
gress the approval of the President, who
as the author of the Mckinley BILL had
already mastered the subject. 1t is part
OF the law, therefore, to be executed, and
the hope Is, in view of what the policy has
accomplished in the past and of the invit-
ing opportunities of the present, that IL
may have early and literally extended
trial.

A Word of Caution.
From the New York Times.

One sure ign that good times have come
Is the evident necessity for that venerable
institution, the word of Caution" The
buying on The Exchange indicates that
everybody expects to make money Some
will not. Over-confldence is sometimes al
most as much to be feared as want of conf
dence. There are certain securities that
are safe purchase" The buyer will get
his dividends, and a year from now may
be able to sell at an advance. There are
others that have neither actually nor In
prospect any sure value whatever. OF
those who buy these, here and there one
will reap an unexpected and gratifying re-
ward. Most will lose their money. The
eats and dogs" always advance with the
rest when the market is booming"

A Change of Program


Ger studies economic
He burned the midnight oil;
The CHEEKY and the comic
He Stunned. He lived for toll.
He fostered the ambition
That through such pursuits he might
Be installed in a position
To direct the land Alright
But he didn't get an office.
And so he let himself forget
The learning he'd acquired.
Among the intellectual set
He ceased to be admired.
His mind among the distant stars
He bade no more mea nder;
He gave away some cheap cigars
And worked a gerrymander-
And then he got an office.

Newspaper Editing Fifty Years Ago
From the PHILADELPHIA Times

Secretary Sherman said that newspa pers
are not edited now carefully as in earlier
days, and the National Ihteligencer was
referred TO as a model of careful editing
In point of fact, with reasonable care a
capable man could edit a newspaper with
great ease half century ago, as there was
little to edit and newspapers were a luxury
prepared only for intelligent readers who
were able to pay very high price for
them. There was no telegraphic news and
newspapers as rule were simply compila-
tons without local editors or correspond
ents. Now the editor of q newspaper has
to handle score Of editors, several scores
Of reporters and a thousand correspondents.
including special and Associated Press.

GOVERNMENT ARMoR PLANT.
Southerners Would Like It Estab-
Iished in Their Section.

WASHINGTON, Sept IA delega-
ton of representative men from the
large sections of the South to-day went
before the Naval Board which is con-
sidering the question of establishing a
Government armor factory and urged
that the South offered the greatest ad
vantage in cost Of iron. labor. trans
portation etc.
The delegation was made uD of Com
missioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans of
Tennessee and Representatives Wheeler
Of Alabama, Livingston of Gorgia and
Gaines of Tennessee
1t was stated that the iron used by the
large private concerns now making
armor plate was bought to a large ex-
tent from the South at the low price of
s. 40 to s. 20 per ton. It was ar=ued
also that an inland. armor factory in
the South would be more cure from at
tack in case of war than one near the
Atlantic Coast in the North

The delegation filed a written state
ment setting forth the many advan-
tages of the South in this particular.
Commodore Howell, President of the
Beard, called attention to the fact that
the board could not, under the instruc-
tiGns of the Navy Department, go into
the question of locality for the plant
Representative Livingston and others
made the point that such information
was what Congress desired, and the
scope Of the boards orders should be
enlarged.
Accordingly, the delegation. accom-
panied by Commodore Howell, went be-
fore Assistant Secretary Roosevelt He

WAR IN BRITISH INDIA.
Fifty Thousand Troops Modified
on the Frontier.

SIMLA, Sept. 14.-There are now
$4,000 troops and ninety guns, includ-
ing Mayims, mobilizing on the frontier
and n the garrisons. Everything is
ready for the advance from Shadaker.
The lower Mohmands, on the border,
are anxious to submit on any terms,
but the main body is still determined
to fight. 1t is reported that the Null
lah OF Haddah has failed to raise the
gathering he expected, and will retire
TO Tirah
Fort Gulistan is still hard pressed
by the enemy. In a sortie the garri-
son succeeded in capturing three
standards General Yeatman Biggs,
advancing on the Samana ridge to the
relief of Fort Gulistan, found the en-
emy entrenched in considerable force
in the Gesera Hills. The third Gurka
regiment stormed the position One
Sepoy was killed and five were wound
ed General Yeatman Biggs relieved
Sanger, one of the posts on the Saman
ridge, which had been hotly attacked.
A mounted messenger was sent out
by General Yeatman Biggs to inform
the garrison at Fort Gulisten that he
was coming. The commander also
sent guns to the foot of the hills near
Fort Gulisten, and shelled the enemy,
and so diverted the attention of the
fort. The enemy is visible in strong
forces at Caraghari, and it is feared
that, flushed with their success in the
capture of that police post, they may
attack Fort Gulisten so fiercely that
the s1nan garrison will be unable to
hold out until General Yeatman Biggs
arrived.

zETGLER GIVEN THE DECISION.
Had the Best Of the Contest at the
End of the Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14-Owen
Zeigler of Philadelphia was awarded
the decision over Eddie Connolly of
New Brunswick tonight, after twenty
rounds of fast fighting. In the earlier
stages of the fight Zeigler forced the
pace, and clearly outpointed Connolly.
After the tenth and eleventh rounds
Connolly braced up and gave the
Quaker some hard punches, knocking
him down once. After the fifteenth
round Zeigler again started in to make
the work, and set such a hot pace for
Connolly that the New Brunswick man
was very tired at the end. In the
last round Zeigler punched Connolly
when and where he liked. The decis-
ion, while not popular with a large
part Of the audience, seemed to be an
entirely fair one.
Dick Case was given the decision
over Billy Elmer, the actor, after six
rounds, in which Elmer held his own
until the sixth, when he lost his head,
and the referee stopped the fight and
gave the decision to Case.

IRELAND'S FAMINE.
A Large Section Of the People on

LONDON, Sept. 13.-John e. Red

Parliament for Waterloo, in an inter-
view upon the prospects of famine in
Ireland, is quoted as saying:
The failure of the crops, and partic-
ularly the potato crop, means that a
large section of the people of Ireland
will soon be on the verge of starvation.
1t is already reported that the inha5i-
tanCs of many places in Connaught
are eating hreaa, which in ordinary
times is regarded as a luxury, and is
not used except when potatoes are not
obtaInable.
Agricultural experts have informa-
ti0n to the effect that the present har-
vest is the worst since 1879, which was
the most distressing recorded during
the present generation, and the suf-
ferings of the poor during the eight
months threaten to equal the horror
of the famine of 1916. All the Boards
of Guardians are providing for a large
increase of poverty, necessitating doub-
ling the rates in some districts"

as soon as the necessary orders can
reach her This will leave the Benning-
ton as the sole representative of the
United States navy at Honolulu until
the Baltimore reaches that port. It has
been found necessary to adopt this
course, in order to get the crew to man
the Baltimore, which now lies at Mare
Island navy yard, almost ready for sea.
With the men secured from the Phila-
delphia by enlistment, it will be pos
sible to man the Baltimore and send her
back to the Hawaiian Islands AT one
time it was believed that it would be
necessary to send the battleshiD Oregon
for this purpose, but this plan was
abandoned. AS the japanese cruiser
Naniwa has left Honolulu for Japan,
it was thought that no interests are
jeopardized by leaving only the Ben
