RUS ia's Ambassador.

Count Cassini. the representative OF
Russia in the United States, has cele-
brated his fiftieth year in the diplo-
matte service. It is not too much to
say that Count CaSsini is a credit, to
his country, diplomat of ability,
and a gentleman who for personal
qualities is held in high esteem.
In the present war between Russia
and Japan it would be idle to say
that American sympathy is with Rus
STA. The fact that it is otherwise is
matter of regret even to those who
are forced to beStoW their sympathy
Oh the japanese cause There is a
certain pride of race and blood, and
the Russians are white. They have
philosophers, men of letters. scien-
fists of repute Perhaps their Tolstoy
would, be acknowledged the leading
individual intellect Of the times. For
what they have accomplished, for
what they hope to do to uplift them
selves and civilization they can rely
upon the support and appreciation of
all But the spirit of Russia is not
in consonance with the spirit of the
age Autocracy has seen its day.
All this is apart from the repre-
sentative of Russia. He is measured
by the standards applied to people
OF culture, of high ideal, of consid-
crate regard for associates, and he is
rot found wanting.
The Times congratulates the Count
upon reaching SO advanced a stage
in his career without having made an
enemy for himself or for the govern
ment he represents with zeal and dis
erection.

the fellow Dodge returns from an
exile during which he had been sup

Where is the mystery Please pre-

as the public yet knows, the Dodge

be, is no better and no worse than

fee exchange, the latter operating in
New York and the former wherever
tobacco is sold These two concerns,
operating along similar lines, but
neither sustaining any relation to the
other. are rapidly absorbing the in
drstrial strength of the island.
The trust, or combination, that is
able to control any output of Porto
Rico is the enemy Of that little do
main. If not checked, it will increase
the pressure To interfere with these
trusts is duty of the United States
It would do more for Porto Rico than
the introduction of an alien grain
that would not thrive there If the
Porto Ricans are given q chance to

Sensations for Each Dau.

Probably there is never a time
when there is not before the public
some subject for the moment of sur
passing interest II may be a war
between Japan and Russia, but repe-
tition pals. It may be the case of
an actress suspected of murder, but
the jury disagrees, and the lack of a
climax spoils the tale
Just now there is the Dodge di-
yoree. Nobody outside limited cir
Gle knows yet why this should be
exalted to the status of leading sen
sation. Divorces are common. They
are known among the rich and poor
They are procured by collision, per-
jury, and other forms of fraud. But
the Dodge matter rises superior TO
the commonplace, and demands atten-
ton.
It seems that the Dodges were di-
vorced, and the woman was then
married to Mr.. Morse, man of mil
lions. Later. Dodge was induced to
declare that in the action for divorce
he had not been served with the
necessary papers. Establishment OF
this allegation would have made the
divorce invalid, and the so-caiIed

Ling the second marital episode. Now

Inaugural Hotel Ra 'es.

With earneStness and enterprise the
inaugural committee has set about
the regulation of hotel rates during
the forthcoming ceremonies in March
1t is suspected that the managers of
the smaller hotels may follow the ex-
ample set by their fellows in other
cities, seize the inaugural as an op-
portunity to charge exorbitant rates,
and thus, for the sake of a few dol
lars of unearned profit, cause serious
damage TO the reputation of the Cap
itaI.
The earnings of the hotel keeper in
the period Of the inaugural ceremon-
les will be large enough if rates are
maintained as they now are, except
ing that many persons be lodged in
the larger rooms. Crowding is I'M
ayoidable. Even Washington's 100 ho-
tells cannot harbor half a million Wis
itors without packing them closely to-
gether And, as many rooms will
hold twenty persons each, instead OF
one or two, the earnings of the ho-
tells are multiplied as extensively as
any fair-minded business man could
expect
No one in the committee seems to
fear that the large hotels will raise
their rates They are high enough
now, as everyone knows, and the
temptation to the smaller hotels to
approximate the same tariff must be
very strong. But these smaller houses
dc not offer the luxury for which the
larger hotels charge and so are con-
tent under normal conditions with a
lower scale. II this is true, and no
one familiar with conditions in Wash
ington will dispute it, the smarter ho-
tells ought to be content also with
lower prices for the inauguration
1t is purposed by the committee
that the subcommittee on public COM
fort shall poll these smaller hotels
and reach an understanding with
them as to the rates to be charged
The Times is confident the subcom-
mittee will find the hotel men ready
TO acede to any reasonable PROPOSE
| ton. If anyone is TO damage Wash
ington's reputation as convention
city it Will assuredly not be the mer
who profit most by it.

Wheat in Porto RiCo.s

The news columns recently men,
toned the fact that the experiment
of growing wheat might be tried in
Porto Rico. Wheat has not been
grown with any success below the
frost line OF the temperate zone, but
no matter. To try an experiment in
Porto Rico will be easy. because the
Department of Agriculture has the
seed TO spare
1t strikes US that better plan
would be to encourage the people OF
Porto Rico to grow the crops that
belong to their climate and soil. They
can raise tobacco and coffee. Why
not encourage them TO raise tobacco
and coffee? The way TO do this
would be supply them with favorable
conditions for getting their products
TO market.
