to maintain themselves They have profit
ed to the fun on what the policy Of pro-
lection was originally designed to do for
them. They are no longer infants, but
giants, graphing successfully with outside
rivals for the worlds trade. Protection
applied to such industries on a liberal
scale becomes in effect superfuous
bounty. 1t is contribution to strong
boxes already full from successful compe-
tition for business.
And then there are industries which have
been built up by protection that. in their
strength. are selling to the foreign markets
at lower figure than to the home market.
That is to say. they are making their crea-
tors pay for having put them on their feet.
as against the outsider whose rivals they
were intended to be. Now surely that mat
ter calls for attention. The remedy doe
not suggest itself upon the instant, but a
remedy exists, and 1t should be found and
applied. Industries of that kind should be
forced to remember their creators in the
days of their strength.
We shall probably find when the tariff Is
taken up again some changes in the align
ments of seven and even four years ago.
But we may proceed with all the greater
knowing that absolute free trade and a
Chinese wall of high protection are alike
impossible for the United States. Freer
trade. with needed protection always in
view Is at once the true policy and
necessity for meeting our new conditions
and obligations

RcminIscence of the GIo1
Lightweight Cuban Editors.

From tha Chicago Chronicle.
Newspapers treat too seriously all the
varying expressions Of opinion among the
Cubans, especially the contents OF the
newspapers that are rabidly anti-American
in tone. There Is probably country In
the world where the cheap and poorly ed
tied press has as little effect on the public
mind 1t has in Cuba. Some of the Ha-
vana newspapers are largely circulated
and are influential far influence ex-
lists among a volatile people who change
their sentiments according to circum-
stances as often as the wind changes We
do not believe that it is worth the cable
tolls to furnish for American readers the
idle chatter of the viyacious writers whose
only ambition is to gain notoriety. 1t
would be of the highest value If we could
learn the opinions of the solid men Of
Cuba, the planters. merchants and leaders
of industry. who have vital interest In
the prosperity of the country. But the
newspaper expressions. more less rad
ical in tone, which the news agents repeat
for us do not give any of the information
which would be of the greatest interest
and value

Representative I.alzell of Pennsylvania
expresses the opinion in an interview with
a reporter for The Star that Congress at
the next session will enter upon no general
revision Of the tariff. He sees, however
that the tariff question will be brought for
ward in the matter of trade with Cuba.
and he admits that Cuba must be dealt
with in a broad and liberal spirit. This
opinion is of vaIue because Mr.. DalzelI Is
not only an authority on the tariff. but
he will be a member of the ways and
means committee of the next House AS
committeeman he will have opportunity to
pass upon all bills relating to the tariff
that may be introduced In the House by
both parties.
What the House may do. or refuse to do
in tariff matters Is one thing. What will
be- presented to it for consideration in that
line is another thing. That the tariff will
be- discussed in many II not all of its bear
inSs on our present business status and
enlarged business aspirations and OPP
pOrtunities Is certain The subject is ap-
propriate. 1t would come up If Cuba had
no appeal to make. But Cuba's appeal
will introduce it. and then we shall hear
from all who are In any measure inter-
ested. II the majority of the ways and
demnation on the whole agitation. it will
do SO. Of course, facing the responsibility
for such action at the approaching con-
gressional elections.
The Star begs to differ from Mr.. DaIzen
on the question of the effect of tariff agita-
ton and legislation on business at this
time. 1t does not think the effect would
be injurious. Business is too brisk Pub
lie confidence is too well established. The
general policy of protection to all indus
tries that need protection is too well as
sured of safety from assault Nobody of
the slightest influence in the dominant
party is challenging the protected indus
tries to battle 10 the DEATH No general
revision Of the tariff Is proposed.
But there are some industries which an
Investigation may show have reached the
point where they no longer need protection

A merchant from Manila tells the good
people of London in a newspaper interview
that Aguinaldo was not taken by strategy
hut by bribery. The whole Funston episode
was plant" The Americans had de-
SPARED of success by the means they were
employing. and suddenly remembered that
Aguinaldo had sold out on former oc-
casion to the Spaniards. Why could he
not he bought again. Happy thought!
And so General Macarthur, with the ap-
prevail of President Mckinley. set aside a
million dollars for the Tagal Washington.
and. by arrangement. that worthy was
brought into camp in the guise Of an I'M
willing captive by General Funston, after
a prearranged hunt with theatrical acces-
sories.
This story cannot hope for acceptance in
the United States. 1t will please nobody.
The anti-imperialists cannot accept it be-
cause it not only attacks their hero. but
at the same time removes from General
Funston's name part Of the odium that at
tacheS to it in Atkinsonian circles They
were disappointed when Aguinaldo took
the oath Of allegiance to the United States.
but they still regard him as a patriot above
price. And as to General Funston, they
find great pleasure in holding him to be
by nature a bad man, and made worse by
infamous employment in fighting against
the liberties Of brave people. Everyt thing
they know of him confirms their opinion
that he was quite capable of taking Agui-
naldo in the way he described upon his re-
turn from the chase.
The imperiaiists cannot accept the story
because it impeaches the American ca
pacity for business. Surely We haven't be-
come sordid and commercialized for moth
ing. AS We have put the dollar above the
man We ought to know the value of the
dollar. Why should We have paid a mil
lion dollars for an article that Spain had
at one time secured for four hundred thou
sand? What has doubled the value of
AgUinaldo since Spain had bought him?
And why If his value had not Increased
should we have paid SO high? Why should
We have become a bull in the market on
perfidy stock when by beginning that sort
of thing we might expect every salable
scoundrel in the archipelago to offer HIM
self at a fancy figure?
This merchant from Manila Is a willing
soul. and should be welcome guest any
where in the territory of newspaperdom in
the dun season. His intentions are doubt
less good. but his experience in the realm
of yarns is limited. He is probably first
from Shanghai during the ruction in China:
and if he will but train a little under the
guidance Of his gifted relative he will
shortly be able to retire from trade and
tread the howery paths of fiction.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
Because of the burning Of Chinatown In
Honolulu, when there seemed no other
course to stay the plague. Hawaii has been
asked to pay 5000, 600. Without purpose to
influence any tribunal that may have the
duty of passing on the claim. the conjec-
ture is made that Hawaii will not do any
thing of the sort.
All this country can know about China
towns must be based on Information as to
the various Chinatowns here. The most
extensive Is that of San Francisco. 1t Is a
noisome, dangerous, reeking, rotten spot,
given over to stencil and vermin. IL breeds
moral and physical disease. The property
is owned by people otherwise respectable.
who. because they are able to collect rents
for buildings not fit for dog kennels. refuse
to clean the uens. Part of San Francisco 8
Chinese quarter Is two stories underground,
and vile to the utmost deeps. Doubtless
were 1t to be burned there would be suits
for damage, but there should be suits for
damage now. and they should be directed
against the owners and brought by the
municipality.

Controller Dawes ResignatiOn.

Controller Dawes resignation is move to
be regretted in the public interest. even
though under the circumstances il has the
wholesome effect of emphasizing the i'm
proprtety of the employment of the prestige
OF federal position in q senatorial contest
Mr. Dawes has proved himself an able Of
fCial. AS controller he has stood at all
times for the maintenance of a high stand
ard Of honesty in the management of tie
national banks and he has on various occl-
sions demonstrated his special ftEess Cor
the trying position. So highly organized is
are the relations of the banks to he gov
eminent that much depends upon the
character and capacity of the man placed
in immediate supervision over their actions.
The controller stands as guardian not only
of the individual interests of depositors, as
far as the government can prevent loss.
but he serves as a last barrier between the
banking system and business collapse The
experience of 1898. when banks failed on all
sides and dragged commercial enterprises
down with them, demonstrated how heavy
is the responsibility conferred upon this Of
fetal position. While there are doubtless
many scores of men competent to assume
this responsibility and to discharge these
functions, it is always a cause for regret
when a man Of demonstrated capacity
leaves such a post. Mr.. Dawes ambition
to represent his state in the Senate Is
natural and honorable and he has shown
an unusually high sense of the fitness OF
things by taking steps to avoid the least
appearance of official pressure in his behalf
in the campaign to come.

The disappointment of American oars
men and lovers of sport caused BY the fail
ure or the Pennsylvania University eight
to win the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley
yesterday IS tempered by the reflection that
the Leander crew is not on the same plane
as any of our university organizations 1t
Is postgraduate, all-coilegiate compost
ton, embracing some of the best men who
nave ever pulled an oar in English waters
and who have kept IN condition since leav-
Ing their university or college crews Thus
1t is a continuing crew, with changes in
frequent and then for the betterment of
the organization as men grow beyond the
years Of successful training There ia nm
questionabIy just as good material In all
most any Of our large cities as there is in
London, where two or three such COM
posites maintain the standard of oarsman-
ship from year to year. In New York. for
instance, a city teeming with graduates of
Yale, Harvard. Cornell Columbia, Prince
ton and Pennsylvania, 1t should be possi-
BILE any year to find crew Of men who
have been highly developed oarsmen at
college and who. with a very little work,
could be put in shape for fine race
against the best oarsmen of the world.
That such crew has not been organized
VI iole years merely means that the COL
lege oarsmen, after graduating have con-
tented themselves with resting on their
laurels and cheering their successors The
amateur rowing clubs have taken in some
of them. but not many of the best, and
the lack of competition between the clubs
composing the National Association Of
Amateur Oarsmen and the collegiate crews
prevents any comparison. Yet it Is be-
lieved that the latter class includes the
best organizations.
The Henley regatta represents the high
est attainments of the English oarsman
1t has races for all classes, from school
boys to the post-graduates and non-col-
leSiates who compose the Leanders and
the Londons and certain events are open
to all. as the Grand Challege event. Boys
and men follow these regattas as con-
testants from year to year. progressing
from the school to the. college crews to
the ''varsities'' and thence to the crack
metropolitan organizations Thus an oars
man at Henley competins for the Grand
Challenge Cup may have had the benefit Of
ten years consecutive training and regatta
work. This Is a great advantage over any
university crew from America entered for
that trophy. for the Americans will have,
at best, only four Years, pe practice moro
often only three, having been as a rule
put into boats for the arst time Ia their
second college year. Yet with this COM

A New York newspaper repo ter be-
thought himself to walk on the Fourth
through number Of streets representing
all sorts and conditions of humanity in the
metropolis and to ask of the children whom
he found Celebrating their reasons for
firing off crackers and other explosives
The answers he records are at first anus
ing, then pathetic and finally seriously i'm
pressive Not one is set down as telling
the inquisitor rightly the reason for the
demonstration. Some had a vague notion
about the adoption of something. generally
1t was the Constitution: others remembered
reading about war which had begun or
was ended on the Fourth of July. The
answers ran the gamut of avowed fgnor-
ance. imagination and Indifference.
1t may be assumed that the account ct
this exploration is accurately stated. For
1t Is not to be believed that shamefuiiy
dense a condition of ignorance among the
youngsters would be exploited falsely. The
conclusion Is inevitable that the average
New York child is practically without
conception of American history and that
the schools of that city are sadly deficient
In laying the foundations of good citizen
ship. 1t Is a natural impulse to feel hero
In Washington that such a condition cam
not be disclosed at the capital Patriotic
exercises are held SO frequently In the pub
lie schools that even the littest OF the
pupils IS given a clear idea Of certain ratri-
otto fundamentals. Flag day has for say
erai years been an annual feature WASH
ingtons birthday Is celebrated appropriate-
ly and other occasions of historic moment
are noted and explained. The teaching of
history in the form Of stories 70 maintained
In the lower grades and it Is safe to saw
that the average Washington school child
OF eight would be able to give a fair answer
TO considerable list of questions searching
Tor the basic facts of this country's yearly
ceremoniaIs
Ihls Is an ideal function of the public
school. and to the extent that the WASH
inston schools are held to this conception
they will fulfill their highest usefulness.
The child Is the future citizen. In the de-
gree that he develops with a right notion
OF government. of law, order and public re-
sponsibility with intelligent reverence for
the great men and the great deeds of
American history and with a lasting shirt
OF patriotism based on a clear knowledre of
the republics meaning. he will become a
useful helpful. progressive member of any
community. If these factors are neglected.
and his education Is confined to the three
X and few items on the side with
manual training and art thrown in as
accomplishments or as essentials, he will
not serve the best purposes of the state and
Will fail to Justify the thought and EXPENSE
