to nearly forty-six per cent on Ameri-
can imports. In other words we threw
off an average of one-twentieth OF our
duties. and France dropped nearly one
half of hers. The result, as shown by
MIR. Kasson, was that France increased
her purchases of American goods al
most seventy-five per cent, while We
only Increased our importations OF
French goods five per cent We can
not hope always TO make such treaties
as that. but the instance given is strik-
ingly illustrative of the possibilities
which lie in a policy of freer trade.
Turning TO the matter of prospective
tariff wars, Mr.. KassOn combats the
prevalent notion that they would hurt
us less than they would other countries.
He argues very forcibly that as we ex-
port a great deal more than we import.
in such a struggle our losses would
be greater than those of the countries
that adopt retaliatory measures. Com
mercially speaking, he is right If it
were merely a question of living, we
could get along in complete isolation
better than any other country, because
of the vastness of our resources and
the abundance of our food supplies. But
modern social life means great deal
more than a bare existence. We must
deal with this question upon CONNER
cial principles, and it REQUIRES very lit
tie argument to make it clear that leg
islation in Europe which to any con-
siderable extent may prevent us from
selling our surplus will be heavy
blow at our prosperity.
Nor should we rest in fancied securi-
ty because heretofore we have not
been subjected to retalietory measures.
1t must be borne in pjnd that in the
judgment of Europe there is a vast
difference between an American tariff
that just barely protects the American
market and enc which enables the
American manufacturer to invade the
foreign market with cut prices and
then make UP his profits by charging
more to the American consumer We
do not expect deYotee of protection,
not even Mr. Babcock, to take the tariff
reform view of this matter, but if, re-
gardless of basic ideas concerning the
tariff principle he will consider care
fully such arguments as that of Mr..
Kasson, he will not be long in discov-
4ring that the conditions of today are
very different from what they We're
thirty years ago. and that the com
mercial problems now pressing for So
luton cannot be disposed of by simply
revamping the arguments of Henry
CLAW and Horace Greeley

Mr. Crfdler,s Dismissal.

1t is reported that both Of the West
Virginia Senators are dissatisfied with
the action of the Administration in
peremptorily calling for the resignation
OF Mr. Cridler Third Assistant Secre-
tary of state Mr.. Cridler originally
was appointed from West Virginia to
a subordinate position in the Depart
ment, and has risen by successive steps
to the place from which he is now to
retire
From what we can learn Senators
Scott and Elkins are taking the position
that their constituent is not being dis
placed on account of any fault on his
part, but because President Roosevelt S
intimate friend Senator Lodge, wants
the post for near friend OF his, Mr..
Pierce, of Massachusetts. AS quoted in
an alleged interview, Senator Scott said
on Sunday that "aIl true Republicans
of West Virginia will resent it if Mr..
Cridler is removed without cause" and
added: He was not only an able off
cial. but kept West Virginians in touch
with State Department openings.
A man as useful to his State-or
rather its Senatcrs-as that, naturally
would not be turned out of office if
they could help il. and it may still be
that Scott and Elkins will outmaneuvre
Lodge and have him retained. But
there may be some difficulty in the mat
ter of Secretary Hays reported objec-
ton TO permitting MIR. Cridler's con-
tinued connection with the Depart
ment. 1t is said that a serious differ
ence between the Third Assistant and
his chief has existed for several weeks.
or ever since certain claims against
Morocco were referred to and reported
upon by the former According to the
story extant, these claims were en-
dorsed by Mr. C1idler as valid, and the
Government was on the point of de-
spatching war vessel to collect them,
when Mr. Hay himself went through
the papers and decided that the refusal
of the Morocco Government to consider
them was probably justifiable. This
probably viii be the explanation given
to Mr.. Cridler's West Virginia friends
and perhaps they may be content
with it

A PLEA FOR ARMY REFORMS.
several Changes sHEgei'tcd by Lieu
tenant General Niics.


Lieutenant General Miles in his annual
report. gives the total su uength of the
army at the present time as &.5l3. of
which number 23,s74 are il the United
States, % in the Philippines. 1914 in
Cuba the remainder. in small detach-
monts. being in Porto Rico, Hawaii,
China, and Alaska. He says it is expect
ed the force in Cuba viii be very much
reduced. and hopes that the force in the
Philippines also can be reduced.
General Miles states his objections to
the management of military affairs in the
War Department IN the following Ian
guage:
while Congress has made ample pro-
vision for the management of military
affairs in the organization of the army,
whereby the companies regiments, 5ri-
gudes, divisions, and departments are
made the units of administration, and, by
the statutes, has clothed the officials not
only with executive authority but with
judicial powers and responsibility, yet the
tendency has been to absorb and usurp
the entire conduct of the military estab-
lishment in the city OF Washington, and
especially in the staff departments.
This has been found most injurious in
other armies, and is one of the principal
defects in cur own system. The evil has
been increasing during the activities of the
wars of the last three years, to an extent
that, in my Judgment, requires serious
consideration, and ! recommend that de-
Capitalization be effected as far as possi-
bic, and that all proper and lawful au-
thority be restored to subordinate COM
manders. who are provided with an eff
cient organization. and who can be safely
entrusted with responsibility for the eff
cient and faithful administration of mill
tary affairs, commensurate with their i'm
portant commands
General Miles does not approve of the
present organization of the Artillery
Corps, saying that it establishes another
bureau in Washington. He believes in
the former regimental organiza tion.
Speaking OF liquor selling at the army
caHteen, which was abolished by the
Army Reorganization law, he says that
no injury Mas resulted, and in the main
the law has been beneficial.
As a large part of the army is stationed
in the Western States. and more than
one-han Of it west of the Pacific Ocean,
General Miles recommends the establish
mcnt of a military school in southern
California. He also recommends the es-
tablishment of a war college in the city
OF Washington lie refers to number OF
recommendations tfat ne made IN FORMER
reports looking to the Improvement of the
army; also to orders he has issued during
the year to accomplish this purpose. He
speaks especially Of the experience in
telligence and efficiency of the troops of
the United States. and the success they
have had in China and the Philippines.
and says they have borne the rigors of
the arctic climate in Alaska and the
heat of the tropics. and under all circum-
stances maintained the high character of
the American Army. He recommends
that the military posts throughout the
country be put in excellent shape for
troops that are returned from service be-
yond the sea.

sEGMENTAL GUN BURSTS.
Heavy Piece of Const Artillery Ex.
pIodes at Sandy Hook.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-During a trial
test of the Brown segmental tube 1O-inch
gun the heavy piece of coast defence ar
tiIlery. Weighing about twenty-seven tons,
burst this forenoon at Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds. It was loaded with 175
pounds of nitro-cotton powder. The pro-
jectile weighed $40 pounds, and there was
81, $50 pounds pressure to the square inch.
The overhang of the steel casting
trunnion jacket blew off flush with the
segmental wire tube, carrying away the
breech action. This was caused by an in
sufficient vent in the breechblock. The
gun had been tested a good many times
in the spring of this year and always
showed up well, but it was the second
round of todays trial, while testing
smokeless powder. that put it out of ac-
tiOn.
Permission to remove the gun will be
asked from the officials at Washington,
so that the builders can reattach the
breech mechanism, etc. and resume firing
tests. No one was injured by the flying
pieces. all being under cover behind the
concrete bomb proof wall. The gun was
in charge of Captain Babbitt and his
staff. The representatives of the gun
company were present and witnessed the
test.

The Mckinley Memorial.

Qrom the Philadelphia rimes.)
Washington has so many statues to
great Americans which are travesties on
art that it is a genuine qualification to
know that the memorial to Mckinley IS
along definite lines, and that it is in the
hands of men who will see that 1t is
made worthy of the President whose vir-
tues 1t will perpetuate. The idea of max
ing it noble arch at the Washington end
of the new bridge across the Potomac.
although not finally settled is so good
that il should be adopted without dis
cusSiOn, Tor it will certainly meet with
the nations approval. 1t is rot stated
that a companion arch to Washington
viii be erected on the Virginia end, but
it would be az excellent thing to do. for
the design would thus span the centuries,
and Furthermore 1t would unite the North
and the South iE P peculiarly fitting way.
There should be no difficulty in raising
the money for the Mckinley arch, and
then we are sure that the sum necessary
for the Washington arch would be
promptly Forthcoming

THE COMPLAINT DISMISSED.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Decides Freight Contest

The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday. in an opinion fead by Chair
man Knapp. announced its decision in the
case of the Dallas Freight Bureau and
others against the Austin and Northwest
ern Railroad Company and others. Com
plainants alIege that higher rates
in force from Northern and Eastern mar
kets to Dallas and Fort Worth than
those in effect over lines through those
Texas cities to Galveston and Houston,
violate section 4 of the statute. The
case was tried upon an erroneous theory
that market and railroad competition
could not work dissimilarlty in the cir
cumstances and conditions within the
meaning of the long and short haul
clause of the law. 1t is found that the
testimony, which bears solely upon COM
plainants contention that the law for
bids higher rates on any and all frcights
Tor the shorter distance to Dallas or Fort
Worth than for the longer distance to
Galveston or Houston, was not s,ifficient
to enable the Commission to determine
whether the circumstances and editions
governing the transportation IL ~sseS io',
are, or are not. substantially similar IN
respect of all kinds and classes Of freight
Jra1lc.
l.Ie Commission says. ho.,estr. it Is Mt
improbable that some. and perhaps a
great many. commodities take rates by
rail to Galveston and Houston which, as
compared with the higher rates on the
same articles TO Dallas and Fort WORTH
result in disparities not justified by act
uaI din SreneeS in circumstances and con-
ditions; but that phase OF the situation
has not been investigated. and whether
the existing differences in rates are ex-
cessiVe or unreasonable. or not warranted
at all in particular instances or in regard
to any class of freights, is an issue to
which the proofs were not directed. and
the facts so far disclosed are insufficient
to warrant it's determination.
The decision is that the complaint must
he dismissed, but with leave to complain
ants To challenge the existing differences
in rates as to particular articles or any
class of freights. by supplemental COM
plaint or in a new proceeding.

An English Opinion of Mr.. Roosevelt


Mr. Roosevelt calmly throws over the
tradition of the last forty years of Ameri-
can politics, and boldly announces that
the Chief of the State is to be a non-party
man. In r king up this ground he is en-
deavoring to carry out what Washington
and the trainers of the Constitution in
tended In their view the President, like
an English King. was to be above and
outside all factions-the representative of
the nation as a whole But since Lin
coins death, at any rate, if not before he
has never been anything but the nominee
of a party. holding himself bound in
honor to study the intere SITS and repay
the devotion of those who placed him in
office. A Vice President who obtains his
promotion by the death of a President is
not under such an obligation. Mr.. Roose-
Welt is in il position of unusual freedom
He does not owe his place to the Repub-
Iican managers, who never Intended him
to be President, but, on the contrary,
sought TO shelve him by making him Vice
President The pistol of Czoigosz has
frustrated their intentions, and the Presi-
dent may justifably feel that the strange
conjuncturc of fate which placed him in
power liberates him from the shackles
which have fettered his predecessors. His
statement to the South Carolina dele
gates would seem to portend an open
breach with the Republican managers;
but the latter may, perhaps, think it ad-
yisable not to take up the challenge for
the present At any rate. the expert
ment OH which the President has en-
barked is fraught with immense possibii
ties. He has put his hand to the colossal
task of purifying the entire Administra-
tion of the Republic, of doing for the
Union what he endeavored TO accomplish
in his anti-Tammany camT aign IN New
York, of holding up efficiency and ability
as the sole qualifications for public office.
1t is a noble enterprise, worthy OF Mr.
Roosevelt's courage and talent, and Eng
lishmen Will watch his prcgre IS with SYM
pathetic admiration, and wish him all
success in the difficult undertaking.

The ease with which a confirmed Chris
tian Scientist can convince himself of the
efficacy Of his prayers to ward off dangers
is well illustrated by the case reported
yesterday from Chicago. Some members
of the sect, living in a house adjoining
one that was on fire. were warned by
the police to leave, as the smoke and
flames from the burning building endan-
gered their lives. They refused to go, and
remained in their dwelling. praying for
safety. The firemcn extinguished the
flames before they reached the home of
these fanatics, who win be certain to
claim that they were saved by their pray
ers, and not by the firemeu.

one honorable course for Judge Advocate

Our Commercial Relations.

(From the Boston Transcript.)
Our commercial relations with other
countries were never so delicate, and
perhaps it is not too much to say never
so menacing as they are at the present
time. Riding high and eXultant upon the
top wave OF present prosperity, we do
net perceive the breakers that threaten
in the middle distance. But they are there
and we shall crash upon them unless we
change our course.
