To THE EDIroR OF TEE sUN-S,r: Re-
joice at the news from Maine. For fifty
years her sons and daughters have often
caused us to rejoice. In the past her major
tiles were In opposition to the rule Of the old
plantation slave master. Now they are In
opposition to the boss who seeks to have the
sons Of America compelled 70 get his per-
mission to do a freeman's honest days work.
This must not be. We Allowed the old
slave system to grow from 1919 at jamestown
to the time Of the firing on Sumter In
1891. and dearly we suffered for IL. To
delay now and allow the modern system to
develop will be a cowardly, and riminal repe-
tition Of the former folly. We must moor
porate trade unionism whether II will or not,
and 30 make its masters responsible.
The rule OF blud geons and Of brickbats, all
the known as we'll as the unrecorded violence
that seeks to control the varied Industries Of
modern life. must be stopped. We can and
must say. -Holdi' with an emphasis every
tyrant will understand and heed.

What Did It2

Conscious OF his majestic greatness,
the Hon. SAMUEL GoMPERs sees the
plain causes Of his failure to charm and
command the voters Of the Second Maine
district. From his oracular lips comes
the old saw and song:
.LrrrLxyuLD would have been beaten unt for
the Iboral use OF money In the election
This explanation has served In a
thousand elections, and will serve in
thousands more. But the enemies Of
GoAIPERs and righteousness had more
persuasive arguments than intseducing
gold. In the Dry land Of the Dirigos
there are regions where money will not
buy its ancient foe and conqueror, whis-
key. With a glass or many glasses Of
liquor many opponents Of MI. LITTLE-
FIELD were bought. The friends Of
labor the soldiers Of the dauntless
GoMPERs, sold their votes for a drink.
Thus it appears that thirst, not LITTLE
FIELD. conquered; and the face OF
SAMUEL IL saved He was smitten down
by no mortal hand. He yielded to the
deadliest opposite that man al battle
with. Even the Money Power could not
beat the Washington Cato. Instead, he
fell before the fatal breath of an old
antagonist of the Money Power.
Mr.. GoMPERs explains as well as he
denounces. An inimitable apologist Of
defeat.

Cotton.

The regular yearly festival Of the cotton
crop guessers is now in full swing. At
the time Of its celebration last year we
submitted our own estimate. We guessed
that there would prove to be as much
cotton as the market needed. So far as
we know we were al near to the truth
as the Department Of Agriculture. which
seems to have been about a million bales
out Of the way, or as any Of the cotton
crop experts.
For the cropnow being picked we mike
the same guess that we made on last
seasons, adding to 1t only the further
guess that 1t will not be heavy enough
TO drive prices down to the low figures
Of about ter years ago. From time 20
time, probably from day to day, bulls
and bears will try to convince the spec
ulating public Of the falsity Of this es-
innate. Il will, however, remain most
probable that there will be enough
cotton to 60 around and to leave a little
supply on hand, as usual, at the close of
the cotton year, August 81, 1907.

Mountain Lore.

The trigonomstric measurements made by
Captain Wood. the nrst English surveyor
permitted to take observations in Nepal,
seem to Rave proved that Everest il I40 feet
higher than II was supposed to be. or %, la
feet. As a rule. the first determination Of
mountain heights lie likely TO be excessive.
as St. Elias. Orizaba and not q few other
American SUBMITS have shown. But the
records are now expected to give Everest.
whose renown was safe a. the highest noun
tain known. many additional cubits.
Another interesting discovery is hat Kan
chinjanRa in the eastern Himalaya. on which
four Alpinists lost their lives last summer,
Is the second instead Of the third highest
mountain. and so takes Its place above Mount
Goodwin Austen. which was supposed to rank
after Ever est.
These facts appear on the topographic
map OF Nepal which the English Survey has
just published. and which also sets at rest
the dispute about the position OF Everest by
proving that 1t is far removed from other
mountains with which IL has been confused.
and that the group Of which IL forms the
centre il not a part OF the great snowy range
Of the Hlmalaya, but In north Of Il.

Aerial Navigation.

Once the delight Of the country fair,
the balloon ascension has now become
the sport OF restless amateurs. Assem-
sions from the city have been frequent
this summer and the jewellers Of crowded
streets have crooked their necks to
gaze UP at the idly lowering bag Of gas.
There have been very few accidents and
still fewer fatalities.
While the seekers after new sensations
have learned 10 float among the clouds,
less attention has been paid to the en-
gineers who are still striving to solve the
problem Of aerial flight through ma
chimes heavier than air. Under labora-
tory conditions it works out so nearly TO
success, on the paper of the mathemat-
ical Investigator it can be so completely
proved, that intere7t never flags among
those who pursue this line of inquiry.
The French Government has pur-
chased the rights TO an American air
ship for Use in war. proof in itself that
It must have satisfied approximately
the exact requirements OF such service.
Naturally it has been preserved as a
secret. At the edge Of the Arctic there
Is now an airship, Enthusiastically too
late for this season, yet held in readiness
for an overhead dash TO the pole when
the pale northern summer returns.
The practicable airship is still in the
future, but the progress that has been
made points to an early date for the con-
quering Of the atmosphere.

m Episcopal Faith.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sr: I would like
20 ask the Rev. Francis J, Hall how he rcconciles
Article XXI. IN the Book Of Common Prayer with
the Advertisements which appear on Saturday
morning. announcing "masses' In the Protestant
Episcopal churches OF st. Mary the Virgin and
81. Edward the Martyr. II masses are -blasphe-
nous fables and dan &c rous deceits" ARTICLE XXXIl,
how can these churches hold such ServIces1 The
"onncIal teaching readily available In the Book OF
Common Prayer" 10 cleaT-the ofhciAl practice.
outlined in the religious notice columns Of the
Saturday newspapers. 10 also quite clear.
The Literary Digest OF September. quoting the
Maritime Baptist. reports an organization within
the established Church OF England. with q member
Ghip OF SO clergymen and 4,s77 laymen. which has
for its special object the Offering OF masses for the
repose Of the dead. Yet Article XXI. says:
Wherefore the sacrifices OF masses. in the which
II was ommonly said that the priest did oner
Christ for the quick and the dead to have remission
OF pain or guilt, were bhSphemous fables and
dangerous deceits."
Can this theory and this practice be reconeuedy
Are these ministers not heretics' Can they not be

Catholics' Are they not facing the alternative Of

Pro.ner,tx and ExtrayaRance.

Americans are not alone and I'M
frierded in their struggle with their
national problems. When they ask them
selves what they shall do with their
multi-millionaires, generous advisers
come forward with complete methods.
One Of these, hiding behind the mystic
rious sign of *, not long ago contrib
uted to the North American RevietS an
article telling just how to make all the
original geniuses rich and yet prevent
them or any others from growing too
rich. In the current number Of the same
magazine W. H. MALLoCK, who nee in
formed the world that life was worth

1t is clear from other passages in Mr..
MALLoCK's article that he has given too
much importance to the stories printed
in yellow journals about the frivolous
doings Of the so-called smart set, and has
paid too little attention TO the notable
record Of liberal and wisely guided ex-
penditures in charitable and educational
fields. But this is OF minor Importance.
The point TO be noted il that the Amer
lean people are giving more serious at
tention to this problem now than ever
before, and that although in some quar-
tors there may be a disposition to drive
all multi-millionaires down steep places
into the sea, the real temper OF the
people as a whole Is sensible and well
balanced. The question which the
inhabitants Of these United States are
studying just now is: What shall we do
with our prosperity"
There is no denying the fact that there
is a widespread awakening to the empti-
ness Of sordid display Of wealth. The
mere blowing in" Of money makes
heroes now only in the restaurants Of
Tenderloin districts. In spite OF the
continued existence Of get rich quick

demanding that this should not DO Of

the validity Of the claims, whereas the

for the enforcement Of such obligations,
ever after the validity and amount Of the
debt have been judicially determined.
This was unquestionably an important
extension Of the Calvo doctrine; an ex-
tension with which DR.. DRAoo's name
may justly be associated. II appears,
moreover, that Dr.. DRAoo had made pre-
cisely the same point some ten years
before the Venezuela controversy moved
him to write the note. Az long ago an
May II. 1892, arguing as Legal Assessor
Of the State Of BuenoG Ayres before the
Supreme Court Of the Argentine Con-
federation, he maintained that the Fed
eral provinces were mot distrainable'
for ~contractual debts. The question was
then, as it is now, Of great importance
to Argentines, in view Of the large debts
contracted in England by their provincial
and national authorities.
We are disposed, therefore, TO accept
the conclusion that, not only as expander,
but also as original propounder, DR..
DRAoo 10 entitled TO attach his name to
the doctrine. II Europeans and those
Americans who follow European dis
cussions OF international questions re-
gard DR.. CALvo as the author Of the doc
trine, it il because his book is well known
on the other side OF the Atlantic, and
because he was personally held in high
esteem by fellow ~jurists, az they testified
when he visited the Old World. Yet, II
honor should be paid where u is due,
the credit for announcing the doctrine,
at all events in its present form. undoubt-
