SOUTH AMERICAS FUTURE.

An idea was advanced at a recent
meeting OF the Royal geographical
society in London that will interest
all our naval officers and big naval
advocates. Sir Thomas Holdich. the
arbitrator Of the Chili.Argentine
boundary dispute. and a leading Eu-
ropean authority on South American
affairs, made the following striking
statement.
THE Potentially OF South America
as a naval power | look upon AS very
great. ! believe that In the course
OF. say, the next half century, In
spite Of the fact that Just now Ar
gentina has sold two ships to Japan,
and Chill has sold a couple of ships
10 us, in spite OF that fact, there will
be an increase OF naval strength In
South America. resulting from purely
natural cansea. for the defense of
her own coast and the protection OF
her own traffic, which will be only
comparable to the extraordinary de.
velopment which we have seen dur.
ing the last half century in Japan"
Such a development may come pro.
yided that the leading South Amerl.
can countries maintain their lndepen.
lent position, grow In population and
wealth and achieve permanent politi.
cal stability Argentina and Chill
may be capable of It, and so may
Brazil. The potentiality Of Argen.
tina probably equals the others com.

A TYPICAL AMERICAN.

The ~governorship of the Empire
state has long been considered a step
ping stone 10 the presidency OF the
United States. Consequently. THE
man who has recently been nominal.
ed by the republicans of New York
as the candidate for governor be-
comes Important as a factor in the
politics Of the nation.
The following extracts from an in.
:crcs.ing sketch Of Frank Wayland
Higgins in the last issue Of Harper's
Weekly, give considerable insight in,
to the character of the man whom the
republicans have chosen to be their
standard bearer In New York.
The first day that Lieutenant
Governor Frank Wayland Higgins,
recently nominated for governor OF
York by the republican convention
at Saratoga, assumed his duties as
presiding officer of the state senate.
he found on his desk a beautiful floral
offering from the democratic sena-
tors. Many of them had served be-
side him in the senate for years, and
the gift was a tribute inspired by al,
lection and respect, He had always
fought fair as a senator. and they felt
that he would WELD the gayel with
justice and impartiality. And he did.
"In the hour Of defeat and dlsap-
pointment at the state convention.
Timothy L. Woodruff, facing the dele.
gates who were soon to nominate his
sole rival, made this statement:

many years. and I never knew him 10

HISTORICAL. SOCIETIES.

On September 10th at the Worlds
Fair in St. Louis. a plan was adopt
cd TO form a league Of historical so
cieties in order to act In concert in
obtaining copies of records in Europe
relating the discovery and settlement
OF western America and to cooperate
In various ways. The presidents OF
the historical societies of Missouri,
Louisiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and New
Mexico were present. together with
representatives from a number OF
other western societies OF leading
colleges. Judge Douglass. president
OF the Missouri society. presided at
the morning session and Judge L. b.
Prince. president of the New Mexico
society, at the evening session. The
original plan was to have a new
league embrace only the states OF
tho Louisiana purchase. but on the
suggestion Of Judge Prince, the
Rocky mountain states and territories
were included. 1t Is thought that
this league win be Of Importance In

SHALL our ARSENALs MAKE
RIFLES?

Springfield ArsenalJ near Spring
field, Mass, has had for years as one
Of its most important branches Of
manufacture the making Of 30 cal
her rifles for the Army of the United
States. Hundreds Of species a day
have been turned out. Lately, at CON
siderable cost, modern machinery
has been installed at the Rock Island
Arsenal for the production Of the
same kind Of arms. The cost of
producing the modern high power
piece is about 81 or $12; pitchforks
could be turned out at the same rate,
or less. per dozen. Is it wise to con-
time the manufacture of such ex
p~ensive weapons, when the cheaper
ones would answer the purpose, UNI
der the circumstances, in four cases
out of five?
The close observer of conditions
who > has his country's welfare at
heart, would be shocked TO find that
in time Of war. unless something is
done TO mend matters, the prepare
tion of this large number Of modern
rifles is without use, because there
would be perhaps only 10 or 20 per
cent. Of a volunteer army that would
no ahla ~ ,,gn tbCt., nffantsua1s T'hn
enlisted infantry and cavalry forces
Of our army amount to 10000 men
to-day. and in time Of war so per cent
will be added that must be drawn
from civil life and without training
In the use Of the rifle. The National
Guard aggregates about $4,000 men,
A third Of the states have ranges,
about q third have the merest apollo.
giles for ranges. and the rest have
practically no facilities for rifle prac
tice. Some of the States in 1908
never fired a shot. Therefore, under
present circumstances a volunteer
army (and ours must be always vol,
u%nteer) Of 10000 men, would be made
up approximately as follows: 5000
men trained in the army, 10000 Ma.
tional Guard riflemen and the bal.
ance, or say 235,000 men, will not
have had any rifle practice worth
mentioning. and might almost as well
be armed with pitchforks as with
guns that will be utterly ineffective
in the hands of men not knowing how
to use them.

motto. For years he had books Of
account kept, at his W expense, in
his home office at Olean, that he
might know the exact status Of the
appropriations and expenditures of
state Institutions and public works"
1.-THE deficiency appropriation bill
was n Of the first evils he attacked.
Managers Of state institutions and de-
~partments were making contracts for
buildings. etc. in excess of legislative
appropriations, and The contracts
practically pledged the state TO make
good the difference. The present law.
which originated with Mr.. Higgins.
prohibits the making Of such con.
tracts. Another law, for which he IS
responsible. requires that any funds
received by state departments. insti-
.tutions, or commissions. must he paid
over TO the treasurer Of the state,
and not paid out again except through
legislative appropriation, Prior 10
1895 many railroads in the state were
not paying their employees with any
regularity. and oftentimes p~ay.days
were several months apart. The men
were thus compelled 10 discount their
time TO get food and clothing for their
families. When Mr.. Higgins's atten.
ton was called to this injustice he in
troduced and procured the passage OF
a bill requiring all railroads within
the state TO pay their employees not
later than the Goth day of each month.
