EXERCISE FOR POLITICIANS.

1t has remained for Sir Charles Dixie,
the eminent Englishman, to tell our
politicians what no one has ever
thought of saying to them. namely,
that they have one fault which the
English politician has not, namely.
they do not take sufficient exercise or
interest in athletics, as the Englishman
does Now. who under the sun but
Sir Charles would have thought of
that? AS q rule. we have not cared
much whether our politicians exercised
their bodily powers or not. 1t has been
a matter of unconcern whether they
developed their physical being. It has
been enough to know for us that the
American politician has been sufficient
ly active with his wits.
But Sir Charles evidently thinks that
if we will induce our politicians to bet
ter themselves physically, we will have
better political performance. OF course

THE CHINA-AMERICAN RAILWAY
LINE.

Recently the Record Union COM
mented upon the application of the pro-
motors of the railway to run from Han
kow to Canton, in China, to have the
United States bring pressure to bear
upon the Chinese Government to cease
obstructing the carrying on of the
work guaranteed under concessions to
the American promoters. The fact that
such an application has been made, but
under doubts as to it's being granted,
has awakened considerable interest to
know more about this railway line
So far as can be ascertained there is
expressed apparent genuine regret on
the part Of the Chinese Government
| that it granted the concession, and
hence the obstructive tactics now
adopted. But that this regret is well
grounded no one on this side Of the
water believes. Oriental fear of inno-
walton might however prompt the Chin
csc to wish the contract undone. Han
kow is one of the very few rather pro-
3
more of commercial snap and vim
about it than all the rest of the Chinese
Empire. 1t is an enormous city, hav-
ing more than 100000 population.
Though it is far inland city deep sea
vessels ascend the Yang-tse Kiang 800
miles to it's wharves. To connect this
inland commercial center with the
greatest of southern Chinese seaboard
cities by rail. is therefore an undertake
ing that is certain of large reward.
But European interests are jealous of
the concession granted to Americans
for this privilege and they are there
fore undoubtedly active in bolstering
the Chinese in their endeavor to undo
what has been done If that is posi-
BILE, and is accomplished, of course Eu-
ropean promoters will step in to the
Yankee shoes.
Hankow is a great distributing point
there is no other in China equal to it
ton as a seaboard relative, but Shang-
hal is one of it's lieutenants also. SO
Hankow is really the most important
business, city Of the Empire. The rail
distance between Canton and Hankow
is something over $40 miles, and the
whole intermediate section between the
two points is exceedingly rich product
lively, and is populated to great density.
1t VIII be seen therefore that such
aroad will be one Of the first of money
makers and developers. 1t WILL with
its branches, be a powerful agency in
developing the mineral resources
known to lie within easy reaches of the
route. twill move the commerce of
the interi9c between Hankow and Cam

vessels onsthe great river will become
quite unnecessary, at least for through

THE NEW SALOON.

short, the Temperance Saloons" are to
be conducted precisely as any well or

The purpose is to substitute some

hope is that the new venture will draw

The issue will thus be squarely joined
over the question whether the habitues
Of saloons are such because of the

vironment of these places.
We have not much faith that large

It is now suggested that the Alaskan
boundary question may be. adjusted by
the United States leasing a Pacific port
to Canada with strip of land lead
| ing up into the interior from Lynn
Canal over the panhandle. That would.
it is said, temporarily satisfy Canada
and give ample time and opportunity
to permanently settle the issues now
creating friction between the United
States and Great Britain. The thing
will not work. The time to settle the
question is the present. 1t will never
be ripper To tamper and tritie with
the situation will not one whit allay
the feeling upon the subject. Canada
is splendid buffer. What we need
to do Is to see her bluff and stand upon
what we believe to be our rights. If
Great Britain will compel Canada to
abide by the proofs that can be ad-
duced as to the location Of the true
line, we assuredly will pledge ourselves
in like manner. Under such an agree
ment the whole matter might go to a
court. for construction of the language
of the treaty of 1926 That sort Of an
arbitration we might afford to consent
to, for after all the whole thing de-
ponds upon the construction Of a few
lines written into an old treaty.

est of all trusts, the oil trust, is about
to be sreorganized into single cor
poration like any other.
The tin plate trust is thes only one
he holds that can be held to be related
to the tariff, but it is because the tin
plate industry is itself related to the
tariff; it is the child of the tariff
through protection afforded. 1t grew
up because when the home industry
gained strength and developed so that
it undersold foreign producers, compe-
tition became severe and reduced the
price below the foreign profit making
point of all but a few concerns. Re-
organization then became necessary, as
it always does in industrial develop
ment, and so the plants Of a number
became the property of one corporation.
Though in this case the price of tin
plate went up somewhat, along with
increased wages and cost of raw ma
terial, tin plates. he quotes as S1.l0
box less than they We're furnished duty
the industry was due to the tariff, but
the consolidation of small concerns into
one large one was due to competition
and needed economy in business.
So. too, it is true, he contends, that
the tariff protecting the industry made
the largest steel and iron works in the
world possible, but leadership and
management made it's success under
corporate union, SO that it furnishes
rails to-day to foreign countries az
lower rates than the manufacturers of
any other country.
Railroad, telegraph telephone and
other colossal corporations are the re-
suit of industrial development of the
country. For-and this is the key
note of his argument, wherever indus
trial progress is rapid and permanent,
large enterprises arise; conversely
wherever industrial development is
slow and meagre individual concerns
with restricted capital, primitive meth
DDS, high prices and low wages pre-
vail. Hence it is, he concludes, that
large concerns are more numerous in
the United States than anywhere else.
So he closes as he began that whatever
contributes to industrial development
helps to build up large concerns, ana
whatever tends to destroy business
prosperity, will stop the growth OF large
concerns. -

of trust securities" Money has been
and is so cheap, and investment so
pushing, that hundreds of thousands
of small investors have become inter-

attempted therefore, we are likely to
run up against a very large body of

surface, and these will be able 10 exert

whatever is done to correct evils
charged to be inseparable from opera

ergies and wisdom of craftsmanship ir-

Hanlxow iss.the first. granted to Ameri-
can Investors
The Russians are pushing their great
Siberian line S down to the Pechili
waters. The Belgians are planning to
traverse the heart Of China by a line
from Hankow to Pekin; the Chinese
Government already owns several lines
aggregating some $50 miles; both the
Germans and the French propose to
build in their possessions on the Chin
csc coast; the British already have a
dozen lines mapped out, some in course
of construction, some completed; it will
not therefore be very long before China
way.
1t is for this very reason that it is
apparently incomprehensible why OBJ
lection should be now made to carrying
out the terms of the concession to
Americans which was granted only last
year. and was solemnized with all due
formality in the presence of the Chin
csc Minister to the United States. AS
the terms of the concession were I'M
mistakable and all were extremely fav-
orable and p off allie to, the Chinese
Government, thu present interference of
the provincial authorities it is shrewdly
suspected springs from secret European
prompting, the hope being to crowd out
the only American concession and thus
exclude us wholly from the railroad
conquesting of China.
Probably this suspicion is justified. If
so. however, it may spur our Govern
ment to the definition of new policy
which as the Record Union the other
day pointed out, will be Numerically
opposed to our established policy of re-
fusal to interfere in advance to COM
pei foreign Governments to adhere to
concessions granted to our citizens.
Some weeks ago the Record Union"
gave an account of the beginning OF
Russian famine and it's causes, express
ing the hope that the story was exag-
gerated, and that Russia would be
spared great aff1iction by application of
prompt remedies. Later advices are
that the famine is a reality and is
worse than at first reported. There is
no longer concealment regarding it, nor
pretense that the Government is equal
to the task of meeting It, Hence a
citizens committee has been formed in
New York to collect supplies and means
for relief Of the pepole of the afflicted
districts. But why should not the
Government of Russia be able to meet
the occasion? We can readily under.
stand why in a republic it might be
difficult, but in an absolute monarchy
