Canada Appeals to Imperial Govern
nnent for Permission.
Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 27.-The depart
ment of marine and fisheries has re-
ferred to the imperial government the
question of supplying the Canadian
cruiser Vigilant with quick-fire three
pound guns. Officials here believe
that under the Rust-Bagot treaty Of
1917 they can ship guns of that size,
but it has been considered desirable
to consult the imperial government
before taking the step. If the answer
from London is favorable, four quick
firing three-pounders will be at once
forwarded from Halifax and placed
on board the Vigilant on Lake Erie,
and decisive steps will be taken to
stop wholesale poaching by American
fishermen.

CONCERNING FOOTBALL

With reference to football, which as a game Is con-
tinuing to descend deeper into popular disfavor, The
Citizen has run across the following two professional
views:
Mr.. Bill Reid, the Harvard coach, is represented as
saying, on a certain occasion: Football isn't beanbag'
If you have watched the practice at all you Will see now
much time is devoted to teaching a man how to take
care of himself. He has to learn how TO fall without
hurting himself; he is taught to guard his elbows, his
shoulders, his breast and other vital points. You OBJ
serve how the men go down rolled up like : ball, how
they wiggle out from the mass without wrenehing them
selves, how they catch the ball, bending in at the stom-
ach. Everything is done to teach them TO handle them
selves well. A man RECEIVERS very quickly from any
hurt he gets in football. He is in such splendid physi-
cal condition that he may break a bone and get out
inside of two weeks and be playing ball again. Thai
is why football is such wonderfully inspiring sport-i
makes a man more thoroughly alive in every part OF
him than any other game he can play
Battling Nelson, who wears the belt for scientific
scrapping. saw a game of football for the first time re-

porter, were these: IT'S great sport. But excuse Bat

worse than that To me. I'd rather fight Jeffries anC
Sharkey in the same ring than take a chance with tina

The st. Louis Globe Democrat. in speaking of the
speech delivered in Kansas City, the other evening, on
the Philippine question, by Secretary Taft, says that 1t
was interesting for several reasons. 1t was the work
of a man who is thoroughly acquainted with the subject
Both Filipinos and Americans have confidence in his
public spirit and his conscientiousness In relation to
all legislation which may be proposed in congress THIS
winter for the Philippines, he will be consulted. His
ideas are likely to be reflected in that part of the presi-
dents message which deals with the islands.
In some respects the condition Of the Philippines
is unsatisfactory. The islands were in war with Spain
from 1896 until we made a conquest of the archipelago
in 1898. In 1899 a rebellion, under Aguinaldo's lead,
was started against the United States. and this lasted
till 1902. The rinderpest, which swept away 10 per
cent of the cattle, the failures of the crops for two or
three successive seasons, and the cholera, which de-
stroyed $4,000 people, dealt the islands hard blows
Secretary Taft and other Americans are anxious to fur
nish relief.
The secretary's remedy is, first, the postponement
till 1909 of the application of the coastwise act, which
requires, after July /, 1905, all freight between the
islands and the United States in either direction, to be
carried in American bottoms; and, secondly, the reduc-
ton of the tariff on Philippine sugar and tobacco, now
as per cent of the Dingley rates, to % per cent OF those
rates until 1909, and afterward free trade in those pro-
ducts and free trade in all other Phlhpplne prouucIs
from now onward.
1t is the secretary's opinion, after a close study Of
the subject, that neither the American sugar nor tho
American tobacco interests would be injured by the
reduction of duties. Philippine production, he says, il
so small that il would not affect the market in The
United States, while the advantage it would give The
Ffipinos and the American residents of the islands
would make all the difference between adversely anC
prosperity. In the meantime, until 1909, he would, b!
the postponement of the coastwise act, give the islanders
and the Americans the privilege of sending their pro
ducts in vessels of any country they choose.

Emglamd's Problem is
Work for Unemployed

All England was amazed when Lord Balfour, in his
speech at the Inauguration of the lord mayor of London,
ignored all ordinary political questions and dwelt on the
misery of the hordes of London families out of work and
in want of the necessaries of life. Lord Balfour missed
a brilliant opportunity for a great Grafton on foreign
policy. He might have given voice to eloquent phrases
that would have stirred the pride of old England and
strengthened her complacent belief that the English peo-
pie are the greatest, the most prosperous and the happiest
under the sun. He might have unctuously repeated the
good old chestnuts about the sun never setting on Brit
aims dominion and her drum beat being heard around
the world. But he chose to confne himself to prosiac
facts that were unpleasant but worth while. He dealt
with the real question that is confronting England.
1t is useless to boast of power abroad while thousand
of people are starving at home. Alliances and acquisl-
tions in Asia and Africa and the distant Islands OF the
sea can never uphold the power and prestige of a nation
whose home people cry in vain for work. The prime
minister waived precedent and drew for the English peo-
pie a picture of hungry England. The truth must have
been unpalatable to the self-complacent men of wealth
and rank who sat at the rich banquet board, and, yet
even to them, the question is really of more interest anc
vital Importance than any other in English affairs.
Only a few days before, thousands of women-tht
mothers and wives of the unemployed-had marched
through the streets of London to lay their condition be-
fore the prime minister. To the pathetic delegation tina
addressed him Lord Balfour had nothing to offer bu
sympathy. 1t is a problem that calls for the unitet
judgment and effort of all England to solve. But what
remedy could the prime minister propose? The new
law dealing with the unemployed? That promises he'll
to deserving cases. but it does not strike at the roo
of the problem. 1t treats the symptoms, not the cause
of the ailment. For the man who wants work there car
be no real help but work. There is something organ
ically wrong with England. Among the statesmen
Chamberlain alone claims to have diagnosed the condi-
ton and has a cure TO offer. 1t is time all Englisi
statesmen realized that a hungry people make the graves
and highest problem with which craftsmanship has tC
ideal.
