The Universal Language.

During the present week a conven-
finn has been in session In Germany
discussing the threadworn subject OF Il
universal language. This seems to De
at least one matter in which the Ger
man people are tagging behind the
,est Of the world. This matter OF a
universal language was great craze
not 80 many years ago, but since II
died out attempts to resurrect the rad
have been unsuccessful. and more and
more 1t is being recognized that the
English language is the really UNI
,ersal tongue Germany may not like
to accept this fact. but it's wishes are
not beinc consulted in the matter. and
sooner or later it will have TO
recognize the truth. a few years ago,
Mulhall the great statistican. collected
figures showing the spread OF
languages during the 18th century.
At the beginning OF the century the
languages Of Europe We're spoken by
$4,000, 900 people. In 1880 they were
spoken by 4oI 900. 500. an increase of
nearly 1G0 per cent. The four principal
,,np1,ages In 1901 were French, Rus
sian. German and Spanish. Inc
French amounted to 1914 per cent. and
the Spanish to 162. English-speaklfle
peoples amounted to only IT,. hut III
1890 the standing was: English. -'.'
DER cent; Russian and German, each
ISL per cent: French. 12.1 per cent;
Spanish, 10. per cent.,and the remain

tuglesc. The number of English
speaking people had grown from %
100000 to II1,loo.Ooo. German and Rus
sia-speaking people from about 3D.
Mp, Oo0 to 100000 each, and French
speaking people from 81. 100000 to d.
100000.
The English language had risen
from fifth to first place and was
spoken by at least 80 per cent. more
people than any other European
tongue. OF the increase of about ?l.-
Ooo0OO Euglish-speaking people about
10000. 900 we're in this country. Anu
this brings to vicT the work of ex-
tending the English tongue that is go
ing on right here At home. so to speak.
We are getting hundreds of thousands
of people every year whose mother
tongue is ether than English. Many of
these never acquire the English IAN
ruagc. bu. thu. percentage Is small AID
their children certainly become Eng
lish speaking people. SO here in
America is going on yearly one of the
greatest extensions OF the Engllsn
language. If the two great branches
Of the race keep the peace and stand
together for peace 1t is easy to see who
is going to come near to owning the
earth and the fuilness thereof. The
language itself is Il leverage that can
not be- despiscd. 1t carries freedom
with it, too.

linotvpes at Washington.

Whenever 4 labOr-savinS device has
been introduced, there has usually
been vigorous opposition from the
working people who thought they saw
serious danger in the innovation. but
in every instance they have learned
that In the long run machinery has not
lessened the demand for human labor.
but has increased the possibilities for
work and thus has actually increased
the demand for labor. Thus the first
harvesting machine ever set up in the
state of Minnesota was wrecked by
angry farm hands. who thought it
meant the end Of their employment.
Eut now, our great crops of wheat
could not be cared for without these
machines. and there is annually I;
great demand for slaborers in the
harvest fields in the West that cannot
be supplied And wages are much
higher.
In Washington an attempt is being
made to introduce the linotype
machines in the government printing
offices. but there is opposition from the
local typographical union. Since such
machines are now in use in practically
every newspaper office and printing
establishment in the United States.
there seems no reason why the govern
ment i'll its great printing establish
mcnt should not get the benefit of this
wonderful mechanical device. Several
times attempts have been made to in
troduce them. but vigorous opposition
of the printers has each time post
roned final action. Such machines are
bound to come there in time. for it is
more important for the government tC
conduct its business with economy
than it is for private citizens to do SO
and II the government is to stay III the
in the most efficient and economical
way. The use of machines is bound tc
come in the government Office, ant
those opposing them are simply stand
ing in the way of progress and civiliZa
ton. Their opposition is sure to bt
futile. Improved methods will prevail
and they should prevail. And it i.
certain that the government in adjust
ing the new conditions will see tina,

Not a Case for Arbitration.

Chicago Evening PoStD
The RusSo-Japanese dispute did not
originate in a difference as to the pro-
per construction of treaties or other
documents. Nor has it to do with
pecuniary claims or uncertain
boundary lines. 1t involves questions
of an entirely different order

Hays phrase. The plain truth is that

No, there will be no arbitration. The
alternative to diplomatic adjustment
is war.

Representative Serene S. Payne, of

Mr.. Payne says that immense as are
the interests involved in the Northern
Securities combination, and far-reach-
ing in its effects as the Supreme Court
decision may be, the opposition to Mr..
Roosevelt Is not SO much that he inSti-
tuted the suit against the company as
a monopoly in restraint of trade as
that he did not give notice in advance.

The New Statehood Bill.
providence JOurnaL)
The bill says: AT least one of the
United States Senators representing
said state shall be of Indian descent"
That may be satisfactory to the Indian
Territory. though probably it is not;
but what will Oklahoma say to such a
requirement? Its population is almost
wholly white people. They consider it
unfortunate enough to be tied to the
Indian Territory by the bonds Of state
hood. What will they think of being
compelled to yield one Senator forever
to the aborigines? 1t is understood
that Senator Quay is not sure that this
provision is constitutional. and it may
be that he does not expect Congress to
accede to it. Last FAN at a dinner
given in his honor in the Indian
Territory, he is said to have made a
speech in which he promised to put the
provision in his bill. Having fulfilled
his promise he is not likely to push so
foolish and :mpracticable proposition.

more attention to Mexico and its H.

ing to the official Mexican figures. that
country is a good purchaser OF our
products but it is 4 field which needs
more cultivatinG than it has ever re-
ceiYed. The fact that these 14,ooo'ooo
people ut our southwest door find it
cheaper and more convenient to buy
their manufactured wares and food
stufTs of the United States than
abroad is something for us to think
about. and if trade has reached such IL
