The manager of the Topeka opera
house and an entire travelling troupe
have been arrested for giving a Sun
day theater performance. The per-

each one was prepared to give 81, 600

the city's legislation against Sunday

will be forthcoming upon even sudden
and unexpected demands. Subject that
fund to an onerous and unWise imposition
and the question of its reduction. perhaps
its final disappearance, is only a matter
OF time. Then what? Deposits will fall
off and the Investment fund of these
banks, which is scattered in innumerable
branches OF industry, will be 50 decreased
as to be scnsbly felt by almost every
class in the community.
\ BLOW TO SAVINGS BANKS.
So far as the savings banks go, the
proposed legislation is vicious in the ex-
IRENE. Savings institutions are the tnan-
cial children of the State. created for a
specific philanthrOpic purpose, and are
subject TO the most rigorous regulation
on the part of the State. They are sup
posed to be always and under all cir
cumstanceS solvent, and a. reserve fund is
one, the principal one, of the provisions
looking to this end Manifestly. therefore,
anything that impairs or weakcns that
fund impars the solvency of the bank,
and to that extent is an injury to it's
depoSitors.
Again, how is the reserve fund of a saw
ings bank TO be calculated for taxation
purposes? The par value or the market
value of the securities tkat it holds for
the protection of depoitors. Market VAL
ues are unstable. To assess a reserve
fund when prices are inflated would be an
injustice. 1t would mean the imposition
of taxes on values that half the time
have no existence If the reserve fund
is taxed at all it should be on the par
value OF the securities.
The claim is made that millions of dol
lars can be raised in this way Perhaps
that is true, but it cannot. in the nature
of things, be permanent, and in the end
it cannot fail to do harm. It is aston
ishing that such a proposition should be
made in a State like New York. and that
it should be the emanation Of men call
ing themselves Republicans. So far as
the savings banks are concerned, it is
direct attack upon each and every deposit
tor in those institutions.

A STORMY OUTLOOK.
Not alone in domestic politics is the
prospect before Edward VII. asstormy one.
Still more portentous nd lowering Is
the outlook abroad. For. the first time in
the economic history Of England her in
dustrial supremacy is t!1rea tel,ed in all
the markets of the world. Trade is the
fol.rrdation OF the splendid imperial struct-
ure. and when tina is uprooted her end is
certain 1t may be delayed, but cannot
be ayerted. A colonial empire cannot be
preserved when the vital interests upon.
which its existence depends are IN The
control Of rival Powers. That trade revo-
Iut,on has begun and its progress is irres-
lstible.
Territorial expansion is for England as
Impossible ,rrier twentieth century con-
ditions as is trade expansion. POSSIBLY she
may gain something additional in South
Africa, but it will hardly compensate fer
the expenditure of money and the loss
of life that it will cost. On the American
continent British aggression has come 10
al, end The Monroe Doctrine blocks the
way. and to overcome that barrier is out
of the question. TO describe the situation
fairly and frankly it is on this continent
that England is menaced with the great
est loss Of territory that has been Wrendl-
ed from her since the Revolution. Slowly
bl,t. surely the vast British possessions to
the north of us are gravitating toward the
American republic. The progress Is SLOW,
slow as that OF the glaciers that IN the
rrebistoric ages moved down inch by
inch from. the polar regions, but the
movement is there, and it cannot De ar
rested National sympathy is strong: put
the attraction of material interest Is as
notent in the commercial world as that or
grayitation in the physical one. The nor
trlern half of the American continent
Will sooner or later be all American. From
it the flag of Britain is destined to disap-
pear. For that loss of territory, when IT
occurs, there never can be compensation
