Puerto Rico.

The portion OF the speech delivered by
the Hon. john ID. LONG at Boston on Thurs
day which dealt with Puerto Rico presents
with statosmanlikc insight the facts Of the
situation:
MY own view. like that expressed by the President
in his message. is that. in regard to Puerto Rico.
there shouid have been free trade, not AZ
q institutional right, but 40 a discreet
act Of Congress. Congress Ia entitled to
exercise It's Judgment without being held to
the partisan cry tn ct 1t 10 acting from dishonorable
motives or under in 'erested influences. At present
the Dingley act Is operative. Tho proposition is TO
reduce this s8 per cent. and not, a. some seem TO
think, to impose 10 per cont. There Ia strength
In the argument for this small customs tariff on
imports from Puerto Rico, that it is the easiest way
for tho Internal expenditures of Puerto Rico to
BE- raised. There IL no justification In charging the
United States with unfAirnes s or Injustice in adopting
this. Rome wa, not built ia a day, and the Republ!-
can party is not to be turned down because in .
single year it cannot make q paradise; but 1t can be
trusted 10 deal honestly, fairly and righteously
with Puerto Rico"
All this is true; and yet, in the great and
growing opinion Of the country, it is prefer
able that the free trade which Is inevitable
between the United States and island ter
ritory So close to our shores as Puerto Rico
should begin at once.

To Disease Clubs.

TO THE EDITOR oF The SUS-Sr. The
recent organization Of an Appendicitis Club in
Gle veland. Ohio. suggests q wide field for the
development Of cOmmendahle idea. Organi-
zation il everything in these days OF er pansion
abroad and contradiction at homs, and ere
long we may be hearing OF an Appendicitis
Trust, but we will bide our time as to that.
The Cleveland Appendicitis Club at last ac-
counts had n membership OF ten PERSONS who
had been afflicted with appendicitis and had
recovered. The constitution and bylaws OF
the club are simple enough and include very
little beyond a statement Of requisites to mem
bership- recovery from appendicitis amount
OF fees. and a section setting forth that the du-
ties shall consist OF a meeting at stated intor-
walls to dine together and converse only uron
the subject OF aUptndicitts.

tween education and crime be brought out.
In 1870 the proportion Of population which
vas attending school was a. I TO ~, while
the proportion that was in prison was as
! to 1903. Now the proportion that attends
school IL as l to q, while the proportion
that IL In prison Is as I to LIS. Tho
English statistics also show that
the prison population is composed in
an increasing ratio Of old offenders, and
that younger members OF the community
are not coming forward to taketheir places.
This Is true. even when We allow for the
greater use now made of Industrial and re-
formatory schools. Thus the whole num-
Der of juvenile offenders in prisons, REFORM
ntories and industrial schools was only
about half as large in 1899 rs it was in
1870. Last year, in England and Wales,
the ratio OF juvenile offenders to the whole
population WAS only 10 to 1907 oo.
This is truly a notable exhibit and can
hardly be explained on tho score OF coin
cidence. 1t may not prove anything As to
the moral effect OF an education from which
all religious and ethical training should DO
excluded, but II does seem to show that the
kind OF public education impaired in Eng
land and Wales, In which, IS we have said,
a certain place Is assigned to religious and
ethical teaching, acts rs a deterrent from
crime.

A British View OF the Treaty.

In the opinion Of our respectable contem-
porary, the Shipping World OF London, Lord
SALISBURY can in no event accept the Davis
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty.
To refer the amended treaty to the British
Government would be to send II to It's
destruction. In the present state OF our
foreign relations we simply cannot eat any
more humble pie"
That remains to be seen. II Is not a
question Of humble pie, II 1t Is true, "a ls
now generally believed, that the astound-
Ing proposition to exclude the United
States Government from the control oil its
W canal In time OF war came originally
from Secretary HAY and not from the
British negotiator. There Is "a yet no
evidence that Lord SALISBURY would not
have consented gracefully, and even cheer
fully, to tho abrogation Of the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty outright, without any new
etipulations whatsoever, II abrogation had
been suggested in the first instance by our
Department Of State.
We are glad to observe that the editor
of the Shipping World takes a sensible view
OF the reasons for American opposition to
the treaty that went to the Senate. HE
Suns remarks on the subject have con-
WINGED him that what has Influenced the
American press ami public Is 1.-THE interests
and advantages Of the United States in pos
siblc future wars" and that 1.-THE dislike Of
England theory was certainly but a feeble
factor The shipping World regards this
principal motive AZ selfish, and deplores it
as such.
We are not inclined to quarrel with the
adjective our respectable contemporary in
London employs. National seltishness Is
a national duty, and the preservation and
the safeguarding Of n country's W inter
osts at every point are the sole and neces-
sary purposes Of the whole system Of diplo-
macy. Thcothcr or altruistic conception OF
foreign relations, if carried to It, logical
conclusion, would require a nation to be
ready to get off the face Of the earth when
ever It's presence became inconvenient or
distast. fulto the neighboring powers.
Therefore the shipping World is very
near the truth in It's estimate OF the main
consideration influencing American opinion
about the lIay-Pauncefote Treaty. IL Ia not
dislike OF England. It Is a preference for
America, and for American interests and
American policy; and in one sense that
preference is selfish.

/. The probability is that all Of the current
American novelists, good, bad or indiffer-
ent, will Do read by somebody fifty years
hence. IL Is n consolation and a solace to
the a~rtitlcer ofiiction that when his story is
once in print, bound in covers, and on the
counters OF the bookshops, he is reasonably
sure of readers for a long time to come,
the period Of endurance not being measured
by the merits Of his performance. This Is
due merely to the physical persistence OF
paper n ink, and to the circumstance that
few people actually take the trouble to
destroy Il novel because they find 1t silly
or dull. The book goes onto the shelves,
passes In time into the possession OF the
children and the grandchildren OF the
original purchaser, and thus stands q
fair chance Of getting itself read half a Ger.
fury hence by one or more Of tho Juvenile
rummager5 Of the third generation. How
many OF our friends Of mature literary
experience do not preserve a vivid recol-
lie ,tion Of certain inherited novels which

The Mouth of the Tunnel.

The momentous enterprise OF ~tunnelling
Manhattan Island for a rapid transit rail-
road is to be begun to-day with dramatic
and highly adorned ceremonies. When tho
Mayor has flashed the silver shovel, made
for the first digging. and driven it into the
ground. the work will be under way.
The Hon. ROBERT VAN WICK will have
the distinction OF starting tho greatest
municipal undertaking since Mayor GRACE
started the $4,000, 900 Aqueduct. The
tunnel may cost millions more, but

To THE EDTToB OF THE SrS-Sr: The con-
duct Of Canada In reference to the fisheries and
the more recent dispute over the Alaskan

From the present viewpoint the outlook Is

an international association, and large com

countries were appointed TO invite other
