Advantages of Combination.
This is an age for the specialization
or talents. Instead of one man making
a shoe. as in olden times a single cob
bier did, 1t now takes fifty men to
make the same shoe. Instead of one
woman spinning her own thread and
weaving her own cotton and sewing
her own garments each woman con-
centrates her power of mind upon one
distinct part Of an industry. Civiliza-
hon has developed its cotton mills, its
cutters. its sewers. its filters and its
importers and exporters, and the COM
bination tends to the general adyan.
tageD We buy where we can buy the
cheapest, and we sell where we can
sell the dearest. All these results come
from the Specialization OF talent. The
realization must come that some men
can do things better than ave. We in
tura in another line Of business ought
TO do some things better than those
who are not proficient in our trades.

managers. and as certain to have their
strong box filled with trust money for the
fall campaigns.
This will require Mr.. Griggs to pick his
way with care in New York. The seeking
of Mr.. Nixon even may subject him to sus-
picion. Mr.. Nixon may not himself be a
trust magnate, but it is almost certain that
he is personally acquainted with men who
have their hands in trusts. His business
associations are all plutocratic. He prob
ably knows Mr.. Whitney. and Col Lamont,
and f. c. Benedict. and other democrats
of that kind, and If he were to undertake
the raising of a campaign fund for Mr..
Griggs the danger of trust faint would be
very great. The rank and file of Tammany
are out of Office and poor as dogs. They
have nothing to contribute. Any money
gathered in New York this year for the de-
mocracy must come with the Wall street
odor upon 1t.
But maybe Mr.. Griggs knows his business
and doesn't want any warnings of this kind.
Certain 1t is that if he makes up his mind
to take the risk he will meet with no re-
Bluffs. The trusts are not shaking in their
skyscrapers. and, II he calls. his reception
will likely be cordial. All political chair
men look alike to the trusts. and none is

the trust is: In politics we trust. And it is
a safe trust. For while the question re-
mains political asset it will never be set

The Early Citv Cock

II is an exceptionally dull season when
the growing of rooster does not raise an
issue in some neighborhood of this city.
The present Is no exception to the rule, and
the Commissioners have just executed a
graceful "side-step' to avoid d decision on
this vexed question. According to their re-
ply to two complaining citizens, only the
courts can give relief to persons of sensitive
ears who are annoyed by the voices of the
chandeliers. No official can perfunctoriIy
declare a noise to be nuisance for what
Is to one man a screech, discordant and dis
another. There are some persons who de-
clare enthusiastically that the sound Of the
exultant ROSTERS voice Is to them a well
come token of'the break of day. a note OF
awakening, an invitation to resume lifes
activities to resist which is degenerating
But there are ROSTERS that persist in
Growing at unseemly hours They do not
confine themselves to the dawn. Whether
the cocks have themselves changed in char
acter and have ceased to become the pro-
Chalmers Of the morn or have always
crowed at other times during the night, but
were not noticed by our sound-sleeping pro-
genitors. remains to be ascertained by In
vestfgators. At any rate 1t Is certain that
the night-crowing rooster does disturb the
rest of many people.
What Is the remedy? To move to a
roosterless neighborhood? To invoke the

Colonel Lamont Sees the Point.

Col Lamont has returned home from a
fishing trip. and promptly puts an end to
the gCbernatorial boom to which in his alb
sence his name was attached. He is not an
old man. but is far too old politician to
b miSIed by midsummer chatter. He has
played the game of politics too long him
self to overvdlue the appraisement of per-
sonal friends, or 10 fail TO see the designs
OF those who would use him to his full
value for their OWE ends. In other words,
putting it in the Dublin form. Col Lamont
Is too old bird to be made monkey of.
But. after all, the suggestion was not a
happy one In the larger sense Col La
mont, while a man of good parts and excel
lent character. does not possess a political
Individuality. He began as protege of
Mr. Cleveland, and he has not emerged from
the shadows of that personality. He prob
ably never Will. 1t Is the penalty of a serv-
ice which, though important In It's way. is
often expensive 10 the man who renders It.
Were he nominated for governor of New
York he would simply be Mr.. Cleveland 3
candidate His nomination for President of
the United States, which has also been
suggested. is hardly worthy of serious con-
sideratiOn. Col. Lamont has fine talents for
politics. but they do not rise to the height
of leadership.

The Negotiations at Rome.

The E8tican's reply to the American note
on the subject of :he Spanish friars in the
Philippines raises objection to one OF the
propositions This government desires the
withdrawal of the friars who remain in the
archipelago and the filing of their places
with pastors Of the same communion of
other natiOnaiities. The request is based
upon two grounds: a. the friars are hated
bytheir former Pensioners, and have been
driven by them from the scenes of their
former labors: and C2J the lives OF many of
them were prejudiciaI both to peace and to
good morals. Senate document 100, second
session. Fffty-six1h Congress, a pamphlet
of nearly 3po pages. supports the American
contention The witnesses whose testimony
is there recorded were all Fiipinos and Ro-
man Catholics and testified. they assert
ell. in the interests of their communion.
The story is one of almost unrelieved base
ness and tyranny on the part of the friars,
and fully warrants the request this govern
ment is now making of the authorities at
Rome
The request is denied-tentatively let up
hope-on two grounds: % the pope cannot
order the withdrawal of the friars, and
(2y lit has been proved that all the accu-
satiOus made against them were partly
false. partly exaggerated and partly mex
act. This is in the nature of news in
America. The opinion here has been that the
pope's authority over the orders in the church
is supreme. 1t was for that reason Judge
Taft was sent to Rome, 50 that he might
treat at first hand with the supreme au-
thortty. As to proof that the friarS have
been maligned. 1t has not reached the United
States. We have accepted the incontestible
fact that the friars were driven from their
charges by the fury of the people, and we
have received from those people, testifying
duct. They have not changed their religious
belief. do they contemplate such n
thing. but are asking for pastors whom they
can respect. and whose work will make for
peace and clean living.
This government, it may be said. asks for
the change with all the greater confidence
in It's position by reason of the work of the
Catholic Church in America. Guided by men
Of the stamp of Cardinal Gibbons. Archbishop
Ireland and Archbishop keane, 1t makes
for progress and good citizenship. and the
line Of separation of church and state Is I'M
derstpOd and respected. Much of this work
has been accomplished within the past fifty
years, and is 20 be offered in contrast to
the unspeakabIe conditions which the friars
after three hundred years have to present
IN the Philippine Islands.
There IS still ground for hope that the
negotiations at Rome Will finally succeed.
The Roman church would lose vastly more
by failure than the United States.

Trusts and Campaign Funds.

The New York Sun OF yesterday contained
this interesting bit Of news:
Chairman Griggs of the democratic con-
gress campaign committee will be in
town tomorrow with Chairman Cable of the
executive committee to have talk with
Lewis Nixon, a member of the finance
committee. about raising funds to carry on
the congress campaign this fan Mr.
Griggs comes from Georgia. and Mr.. Nixon
Is also SOutherner. Mr.. Griggs has been
Informed that Mr.. Nixon Is immensely
wealthy, and he expects him to make a
very liberal contribution to the war chest"
This IS a free country and Mr. Griggs is a
free man. He has been called to a respon-
sible post by his party. and he Is active in
his partys interests. But isn't New York
a dangerous place TO visit on the errand
mentioned? 1t Is the home and business

law and have the rooster transformed Into
a potpie? Or to engage in a controversy
with the rooster owner over the ethics OF
rooster keeping in cities. while the bird
himself continues to proclaim his exist
ence at foolish intervals? The regulations
prohibit the keeping Of roosters that are
proved to be nuisance, but this involves
court appearance, and many persons
shrink from such an exposure to publicity
Il involves the possibility of neighborhood
feuds far more disagreeable than the cock
crows.
For the rooster owner whom the court
sentences to be fined or to STAY his bird. or
both. is not likely, after losing money or
rooster, to move his residence. The spirit
OF revenge cannot be so readily stilled. In
nine cases out of ten he will persist in re-
naming. perhaps for the express purpose Of
getting even" 1t requires court to
learn how deplorably demoralizing such
feuds become, how they evoke the little
ness of mems natures. how they narrow
human life.
The remedy suggests itself but not In the
terms of a proposition which The Star has
received from an anonymous correspondent
who urges that all persons annoyed by
rooster Growing buy three times many
roosters as the offending neighbor possess
and tire him out with their din. This
arithmetical progression plan would I'M
dcubtedly soon lead to crash of crows
sufficient to invoke the unsolicited interview
ton of the law. A far better plan would be
for rooster fanciers Who cannot abide the
country to flock together and reside in
neighborhoods proclaimed as devoted to such
residents. For it stands to reason that a
man who endure the sound Of his own
rcosters ought to tolerate the Growing Of
another mans birds. 1t must be ackuowl-
edged that it is rather rough on poor chan
ticleer to be deprived of voice and life
merely because some one insists upon keep
ing him confined within the unnaturally
limited space Of a city back yard.

The District Building Site.

The District Commissioners have shown
their appreciation of the need of harmo-
NOUS capital development by calling the
members of the park commission into con-
sultation with them regarding the plans
and location of the new municipal build
ing. Although not formally adopted by
either house of Congress. the project of
the commission stands today as the most
comprehensive plan yet devised since the
days of l. Enfant for the systematic i'm
provement of Washington. The municipal
building is not to be const ructed in the
place which was tentatively named In the
project, but that fact does not constitute a
genuine conflict. for the specific empIace-
were merely collective. for the purpose of
affording the groundwork Of a general plan
of building sites. The Mall-avenue triangle
can be filled to the point of artistic beauty
with public buildings. all differing from the
formal project in their names and uses,
without In the least reducing the value of
the result or discrediting the grand plan
now on file.
The chief point now at issue upon which
the judgment OF the commission will be of
value relates to the treatment of the E
street space. Herein the artistic provision
of the experts will be of great service
Much will depend as to the future charac-
ter and aspect of Pennsylvania avenue
upon the decision In this case. If the build
Ing Is sent forward to the avenue line, clos
ing street. there will be slight depar-
ture from the policy adopted in the case
of the post Office building, which was kept
back strictly to the line of the side street
The point to be determined Is whether in
all future building operations Pennsylva-
MIA avenue shall be treated with strict re-
gard for It's rectangular alignment and its
walls extended to its own building line
without reference to the parklets which
mark the Slantwise crossings The alterna-
tive to this plan is TO regard the avenue as
series of engagements where these reser-
vations or intersections occur so that on
the map it will appear as a succession of
angular expansions. The latter scheme af-
fords opportunity for park reatment. while
the former would restrict the avenues park
features to its necessarily sparse shade
trees at the curb lines. The intersection
space between 10th and 18th streets. being
small has been regarded as street area and
paved to afford relief from traffic conges-
ton. The setting back of the buildings
along the rectangle thus formed breaks the
continuity of the avenues building line, but
in some eyes without harming the effect of
the streets own alignment. These are mat
ters for decision by landscape artists and
architects, OF such qualifications as the
members of the park commission now sum-
moned in consultation. have by their great
project proved themselves to be.
