We have no doubt whatever Of the
honesty of the President belief that he
hears the great voice of the people calling
for Government regulation of railway
rates But the singular feature is the
suddenncss with which this clamor has
arisen, if It has really arisen at all There
remains a possibility that the President
is in error in his Interpretation Of the
noise
one thing has been made clear Rail-
way rates in The United States are, with
rare exceptions. not only fair and rea-
sonable, but actually low when COM
pared with rates in any and all other
countries The Interstate Commerce
Commission has many times stated that
complaint of excessive rates is infre-
quent Secretary MORTON has made
the same statement over his own sigma
ture. Other competent authorities have
made the Same assertion, and the en-
tire history Of our railway development
proves its truth Whence, then. comes
this alleged demand for Federal regula-
ton, which can only mean reduction by
Federal authority?
There are two and only two possible
creators of the noise which brings so
clear a message 10 the White House.
One is the Populist and Socialist who
would have elected Mr. BRYAN when he
anticipated Mr. RoosEvELT's call for
Federal regulation, and who 10 blind or
Indifferent to such considerations as the
possible reduction in railway wage rates
or railway divdends 10 the scores OF
thousands OF employees and investors.
The other is the short sighted shipper
who sees in the creation of machinery
for reduction possibility that through
its operation he may be able to obtain
a cheaper rate on his merchandise. We
can only admire the patience with which
this shipper has carried his oppressive
burden all these years, and wonder how
he has made living after paying tho
freight on his merchandise.
Before making new laws for the regu-
lation of imaginary evils, it might be
well to enforce few old laws against
known and recognized evils.

highest authority the following infor-
nation from Washington regarding the

in preparation for submission to the

But the agreement or convention con-
Guided on Jan. 20 at Santo Domingo

have been drawn with the view Of sub
hitting it to the Senate for consideration
and approval or rejection?
Nevertheless, the word therefore in

The peadwood of tho Navy.

With about one-ffth Of the enlisted
men of the navy deserving annually, it
is obvious that there is something radi-
cally wrong somewhere, either in the
organization Of that service or in the
American character az developed under
free institutions.
The most potent cause Of the trouble
is attributed by a distinguished navy
officer, who writes to US of the pressing
need OF naval reform to the deficiencies
OF officers. He wants a younger more
hopeful, moro jealous more efficient
body of officers ahoat, and says that If
that new life is put into the service we
shall have more efficient ships and fewer
assertions, for old and grabbed Captains
and executive officers are the most fruit
full source of desertion."
Mr.. Foss, chairman of the Committee
on Naval Affairs. has introduced bill in
the House of Representatives for the
purpose Of remedying the evil The bill
is drafted in accordance with the recon-
mendation made by the Secretary OF
the Navy in his last report, that there
be a reduction of the ages of Command
ers. Captains and Rear Admirals with
view TO obtaining for places Of command
younger and more active blood and put
ting on the reserve list rusty old fogies.
Mr.. Foss's bill, therefore is said to DO
approved by the President, by the Secre-
tary and by all Of the best men of the
navy
The main trouble OF the navy. rs
pointed out by our correspondent. is
that we have no Admirals with a suffi-
cient length OF time TO serve on the active
list, for under the present system of
promotion, "the grade of Admiral is
merely stepping stone to the reserved
list. 1t is a system, he adds. which Is
producing precisely such Captains and
executives as lose their men so ex-
tensively by desertion, that is, Officers
who go to sea simply because they have
TO, and not for the love of it,
1t is manifest that if we are 70 have n
really powerful navy we need something
more than new ships; we must have
radical reform in the system under which
these ships are 10 be commanded and
differed No explanation of the annual
loss by desertion of a fifth of the enlisted
men is sufficient or reasonable if it re-
lieves commanding aud executive Off
GERS of at least very considerable share
of accountability for so disgraceful a
condition. Moreover. the long list of
catastrophes and accidents TO ships Of
our navy since the Spanish war suggests
grievous official negligence and inca
pacity.

Many men of twenty are individually

wish TO know what civilization IL. The
barbarism in them must be eliminated.
/ That is the highest function OF n college,
whose paramount duty Is, in the judg-

themselves, If a young man is inclined
to be content with an education which
consists simply of intellectual condi-

duty of a college TO seek to quicken him

much more, may be said for their work
