The question OF fortifying Canada
against an attack from the United States
is greatly sgitating the military repre-
sentative OF Great Britain in the Do
minion,' lord DUSDoNALD, and also his
superiors in the British Government.

Discussion Of our relations with Canada
is always welcome. no. matter what
prejudine or purpose starts it. To raise
the question at all is 70 point straight to
the commercial and political absurdity OF
the fact that the 18th parallel OF north
latitude between the Atlantic and Pa
cific can be the subject ofmilitary defence
or cohimerciai distinction. Canada and
the United States should be one American
republic.

the wrong causes. II the entire Govern
ment surplus had been deposited in the
Treasury another situation OF Affairs
would have been presented. but this sur
plus is not in the Treasury but is for
the most part in the national banks, as
we have pointed out. The real trouble
about the matter lies in the payment
Of customs duties which, inasmuch as
they chiefly take place at this port, con-
stitute q drain upon our local money
market. The Government collects each
year at the port Of New York more
than its entire surplus OF receipts over
expenditures during the same period.
This only means, Of course! that the
Government disburses in other parts OF
the country the money that II receives
here. The money stays In those other
parts OF the country because 1t ID needed

mands a higher rate OF interest than it
does in New York. It 10, therefore, APP

The Strikes.

The cotton spinners Of howell. who arc
simply typical Of hundreds Of other
groups Of laboring. men. have struck,
to the number OF many thousand.
Their courage to take this momentous
step proves that during the recent years
OF prosperity their wages have been
ample enough for them to put aside q
great war fund. They are not in need.
They want more; and their desire for it
is above their neighbors criticism. The
same view must be taken Of their employ
ers who would rather close the mills
than grant the demands made upon
them.
Because We believe that tho most
wholesome and generally beneficial ter
mination Of this unfortunate conflict
viii be the conclusion reached by en-
ployer and employed without outside
interference OF any kind, We sincerely
trust that no would-be srbiter viii Try
to rally public emotion behind him with
the argument that cotton goods are
necessity Of Life, the supply OF which no
merchant or spinner must be permitted,
directly or indirectly, TO interfere with !;
or that q strike or lockout Is restraint
of trade that calls for public regulation.
No so-called philanthropist should be
deluded either with the idea that IL wages
in this case should Be raised the public
would not pay the difference in increased
price Of cotton goods. In this respect
the mill strike could not help being the
coal strike over again.
Hands on Is the safe and correct atd-
tude for al outsiders.
This makes three parties to the con-
test who must have absolute freedom to
conduct themselves In the way that
seems best to them, subject to tho law
Of the land. The third party. Of course,
is the independent laborer who, II he
desires to enter the mill with the own
er's approval. must be enabled to 60
there free Of every kind Of molestation
by the strikers, il it takes the entire re-

All the Punishment That Is Necessary!

1t Is to be hoped that the full penalty

automobile, knocked down an old lady,
Mrs. CUsIcK. and broke her wrist. 1t
might be better IL q severer punishment

cay this because something startling is
needed to teach drivers. particularly auto

hicles and pedestrians, the pedestrians
have the right Of way. The crossing
is the special property Of the pedestrian.
II some one must suffer in order to i'm
press this fact upon the minds Of the

bilists who. like Mr.. GALLATIN, think
that il they toot their horns, they are
not to blame IL people are run down.
