Making Mr.. Taft Happy.

On Feb, 0 Mr.. ROOSEVELT signed the
Philippine railway bill, and the Secretary
OF War beams with delight. He feels
that he has done something that was
worth doing. He has had long uphill
struggle, but he has won; and he and the
Filipinos are to be congratulated on the
victory.
As a commercial enterprise, the sys-
TEN OF railways for which provision Is
thus made is not Immediately of notable
promise On the basis Of existing traffic
alone, they would probably prove losing
investment. To make them profitable,
a traffic must be created. The mere
fact Of construction will do something
in that direction, but more is needed.
The pending question OF tariff rates on
Philippine products is closely allied TO
the railway matter, Production apd
facilities for transportation are alke
useless unless there is a market for prod
ucts. Cultivated 10 its limit the island
OF Luzon cannot produce enough ex-
portable tobacco to create even a ripple
in tho American tobacco market but
enough can be produced, if the American
market is opened to it, to make an i'm
portant showing in the balance sheets OF
the projected railway, The entire sugar
crop possible in southern Luzon and the
Visayas would not displace pound OF
American beet sugar if every ton OF it
we're admitted in American ports duty
free, but il would make difference
of profit and loss on the railway whose
bonds are to be guaranteed by the
United States.
These two measures go hand in hand.
With railways and a market, new day
would dawn for the Filpinos. The
United States, by an act both wise and
just, would reap the fruit of sound and
sensible legislation. Now says Mr..
TAFT, If we can only get the tariff mat
ter fixed all right. We shall be just about
as happy as we can ever hope to be. '
Selfish interests should not stand in the
way Of our national welfare and the
happiness of the Secretary Of War.

various colonies has succeededin mould
ing recent Australasian legislation and
in making journeyman printer Premier
OF the continent.
Another peculiarly of Australia among
all the newer countries is its race uni
fornity. Here" says Mr. GAHAN,
practically every one is Of British birth
and blood and the policy is to keep up
this uniformity, or, at any rate, TO make
Australia more and more white, and TO
avoid competition in labor by restricting
alien immigration. The Australians mean
to keep their socialism for themselves by
perpetuating their isolation
The Government is everything, indi-
vidual initiative and independence moth
ing Tho individual wthers and the
State is more and more. The climate
itself, without cold enough at any season
to be invigorating, makes Australia
peculiarly inviting field for socialistio
experimenting. Perpetual summer and
continual sunlight are sapping individual
energies" The more work the Govern
ment does the less there is left for the
individual to do The more drastic the
laws to keep out immigrants, the better
the people already there can escape work
and the more fully they can rely on the
State to take care of them.
That is the stagnation to which the
advocates of sooialistio legislation, Re-
publican and Democratic, would reduce
this American republic; that is the con-
dltion to which they would consign the
people in this invgorating climate OF the
temperate zone, The only initiative, the
only enterprise they would have would
be in and by the Govelnment-the Federal
Government, for necessarily the States OF
the Union would drop into insignificance.

If the House of Representatives ac-
cepts the Senate bill admitting New
Mexico, Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory to the Union of States, the Territory

division Of the nation on this continent,
with the exception of Alaska and the
District of Columbia, that has no votein

had its citizens been willing to join with
those Of New Mexico in one State. They
preferred to preserve their identity and
to wait for Statehood until Congress
sees fit to admit their Territory as an
independent State. They were wise for
the period OF waiting cannot be long.
The new State of Oklahoma will be
formed of the present Territory bearing
the same name and the Indian Territory.
It's area will be 70, 430 square miles. A
big State, judged by Eastern standards,
but California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska. Nevada,
North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah and Wyoming have greater
superficial areas, and New Me1icos
boundaries enclose l22 $50 square miles
of the earth's surface. Belgium is less
than a sixth of the size Of this proposed
new State. Greece is little over third
as large. The Netherlands include only

When the census OF 1900 was taken
there were 800, 900 persons living in Okla

their growth in population and wealth

priately be its birthplace.
New Mexico, with an area five-sev-
enths greater than that of the new Okla
homa, had a population Of 1876 $40 in 1900,
but it has grown since, As Oklahoma
will contain large Indian population,
so New Mexico has a noticeable frac-

A Land Where the State Is Every
thing.

We printed yesterday brief extract
from an article on the Real Australia"
in the Booklorers Magazine by Mr., Bur-
R1ss GAHAN, in which that remarkable
country is depicted as "the political
hot house" of the world. Socialistic
theories elsewhere discussed as visionary
imaginlngs are reduced TO practice in
Australia.
In Australia all women are admitted
to the suffrage. Graduated income and
progressive land taxes are established.
The referendum is used. Laws have
been passed for the minimum wage, the
eight hour day, the early closing of
shops, day labor on Government con-
tracts, and the inspection Of factories,
shops and mines. In three Of the col
onies old age pensions have been estab-
lished and determined effort for fed
eral scheme of the same kind is now pro-
ceoding. The exclusion of allen and
undesirable immigrants is carried TO
the greatest extremes. A white Au-
stralia" being the national cry, the Gov
eminent has refused to renew mail con-
tracts with British steamers which carry
colored sailors or stokers. South Sea
islanders who have been working in
Queensland sugar fields for years are
to be deported The Australian Govern
ments own and operate the railways
telegraphs and telephones. Govern
ments use compulsory arbitration TO
protect the community against strikes
and lockouts. In New Zealand there is
Government insurance against both fire
and death.
Inarea Australia, with its sister islands
Of New Zealand and Tasmania, is about
as large as the United States, but the
combined population is less than five
millions; and Of this population, most
remarkably, the percentage of urban
inhabitants TO the whole is the largest in
the world Nearly one-half of the people
live in the towns, more than a quarter in
the two cities Of Sydney and Melbourne
and more than a third in the various
State capitals. This concentration Of
the population tends 70 socialism and
encourages it. THE labor party in the
