GOVERNOR MACON.
Possesses "the Most Comprehensive
Grasp of View Conditions"



m Charles T.. Magoon. who is 10 be
provisional governor of Cuba, the United
States possesses a man OF peculiar fitness
for a dificult and delicate position. He is
a growing man. a man of immense useful
ness, and he is the direct product of condi-
tions which have arisen during the last
eight years. or since the war with Spain.
He combines the judicial and the execu-
tive temperament. He was the first man in
Official life to lay down the true policy of
American expansion as II has since been
sustained by the supreme court of the
United States with respect to the territory
acquired through the Spanish war He has
shown that he understands the spirit and
temperament of the Spanish mixed bloods
on both hemispheres. He will know exactly
how to deal with the Cubans.
Mr.. Magoon Is not the only man who has
been developed by the necessity OF caring
for what may be termed our dependencies
Secretary Taft, General Wright and others
less prominent IN the conduct OF AFFAIRS in
the Philippines and I'm Porto Rico have
arisen to the needs OF the situation.
without any disparagement OF his con-
temporaries, however. IL may truthfully be
said that Mr. Magoon has demonstrated the
most comprehensive grasp OF the new con-
ditions which have arisen since the acquire
ment OF our insular possessions. He has de-
veloped a genius for colonial administration
We need such men and We shall need
more of them as our enterprises and re-
sponsibilities Increase ip magnitude It is
encouraging to know that men like Mr. Ma
COON have been evolved TO meet such re-
sponsibtlitles because it affords a pretty
sure indication that other ADMINISTERS tors OF
the same type are In the process of develop
ment and will be available when the neces-
sity arises.
II only needs at the head OF the national
administration man with sagaeity enough
10 appreciate such men, and with Theodore
Roosevelt in the White House that require
ment is eminently fulflled.

PERIL OF PROPHECY.
MagRate HiIfs Pessimistic View OF
the Modern Pace.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

]. j. Hin, who has written as much
live history in the new northwest as any
man living, has kept the papers busy for
the past fortnight commenting on his
prophecy.
To fair in Minnesota Mr. Hill pre-
dicted that our food was TO run short,
our wheat to be insufficient, our iron ore
TO give out and our coal to be consumed.
This sort OF prediction began half cen
tury ago in England. II was made here
about our coal, just as the west and north
west were botn found to be full OF new
and greater supplies Tine ore bodies Of
the Atlantic coast were said TO be our
only supply just before Lake Michigan
ore beds ruined/the value Of earlier mines.
Our forests were declared exhausted. just
as public opinion began their preservation
and increase.
II is a safer prophecy than Mr.. Hills
that before our coal is exhausted the
transmission of electricity produced by
water power will make coal a secondary
source of power, heat and light The tides
that rise and fall I'm our own harbOr. when
they are at last harnessed to turbine and
dynamo, will light every home and street
turn every wheel and give power to every
factory in Philadelphia,
As for iron ore, when electric power
grows sufficient, cheap aluminium will sup
plant iron for host Of purposes. Clay
viii take the place or Iron ore. Rein
forced concrete is already reducing its de-
msnd. Basic ores are on the edge OF a
great development
Our wheat crop can be trebled, without
adding an acre. II nitrihcation is carried
further. The food supply Of the modern
state has but just begun and a century
after Nautilus IL is plain that for nifty
years the production OF food has grown
faster than population. Our own yearly
per capita ration OF wheat has doubled in
fve years. In part, thanks TO Mr.. Hill and
his railroads.
President Hin need not worry over pos
terity. II will have an easier time than
We are having. and the newspapers Of the
country, We are glad 10 see, wholly refuse
10 be scared about the future b. Mr.. Hill.

The FIRST task confronting the
American provisional government in
Cuba has been the serious one of dis.
persing the armed bands of revolu-
tionists, OF which there were a great
number. some Of them OF considerable
size. Nothing could be done towards
setting up a substantial civil regime
amidst armed camps in the chief
points OF the several provinces, ard
their very existence would involve con-
slant peril OF collision with the
American forces, while maraudlng
parties would interfere with industry.
II is a notable achievement for Sec
rotary Taft to succeed so rapidly as
he has in peaceably dissolving these
revolutionary bands.
IL was hardly to have been expected
that the revolutionists would gener-
ally surrender their arms, although a
surprising number in some localities
have done so. The reports are easily
credible, which represent most of the
arms turned over to authorities to be
old and clumsy weapons. Where the
men own their own arms they are
likely TO be carried or and concealed,
and the very demand for surrender
will naturally facilitate dispersal of
the men. which is the essential thing
AS soon as the large bodies are broken
up and the men scattered to their
homes It should be comparatively easy
to deal with the depredations of in
-dividuals and small bands.
1t is a critical iuncture for the
sugar and tobacco crops, on which the
industry and commerce of the island
principally depend. Only by getting
the camps broken up can indispensable
labor be returned to the plantations
irrespective OF the menace to property
and public security. The way is thus
being paved with tact and expedition
to set about recognizing a native gov
eminent ultimately to take over the
power now in the keeping of the pro-
visionll government. This task is one
of exceeding delicacy and difficulty at
best, and impossible with thousands of
revolutionists encamped over the is
land, with arms in their hands, unre-
strained by settled authority of their
own

SENATOR BAILEY AND LORD BACON
Senator Bailey's defense on the
stump before his constituents is the
same as his previous carefully pre-
pared statement for newspaper pub
licity, and ia in substance that. while
as member of congress he has acted as
attorney for public service corpora
tions, he has been in no way thereby
Influenced in his public conduct.
Lord Bacon, the chief judicial Of
ficer OF England, was disrobed, dis
graced and put under heavy penalties
because as judge he had accepted gifts
from parties ito suits before him, not
withstanding his defense. at bottom
identical with Senator Bailey's, that,
although he had accepted gifts, his
decisions had been right without ex-
ception. And it is the verdict OF pos
terity that the famous lord chancellor,
in his defense. told the literal truth,
and yet that his punishment was just
1t had long been custom for Eng
lish judges to accept gifts from
suitors in their courts. But 1t was
Lord Bacon's fate, falling upon a time
when public conscience was aroused
to the inherent immortality of the GUS
tom, to offend enlightened public SEN
timent So 1t is today inexcusable
blindness in a public servant not to
see the moral obligations that arise
out of the complications of government
with changed industrial conditions,
particularly in the forms of incorpora-
ton, or at least not to see the require
ments of public sentiment. The Illicit
influence of gifts to judges arose from
elemental human nature, though, In
fact, judge might, nevertheless, de-
eide right. As a general fact of OBJ
servstion, decisive of public conscience
and policy, the public official attempts
at his peril now to serve two masters,
the mighty corporation seeking special
favors and the government whose
paramount duty is to refuse them.
Whatever the truth as to Lord Ba-
con and Senator Bailey may be,
whether the one decided right in spite
OF gifts or the other acted right in
spite Of corporation employment, the
fact remains that both entered the
danger zone when, as public servants,
they put themselves in relation, the
natural tendency of which is to sub
ordinate public to private interest.
That is the standard which righteous
public opinion is demanding more
vigorously than ever before today, and
Senator Bailey's apology does not
meet the practical point at all.

BANK DIRECTORS AND BLAME.

Addressing the Pennsylvania Bankers as
ISOLATION, Mr.. William Barrett Ridgely.
comptroller of the currency. discussed bank
directors and their duties in the economy
Of the banking system of the United States
and in the economy of state Institutions.
Mr.. Ridgely held that, save from rare and
exceptional causes, there was never valid
reason for the failure of a banker or OF q
trust company, and he added:
when a bank does fail IT is the fault of
the board of directors. Many others may
be to blame, but the fnal responsibility Of
bank management rests upon the directors
and they are TO biafnes that is. the whole
b d as board and the members as in
dlviduals are to blame il they allow the
officers, or perhaps only few OF the direc-
tors, to so manage the business of the bank
as to bring on insolvency"

bly, plain talk, but its plainness does not

trary. adds to IL and emphasizes IT,. IL was
a talk founded on long experience and on
intimate knowledge of the subject. But the
bank directors are not to blame The sys-
tenn regulating banking. both state and ma
tional, is deficient I'm the machinery abso-
lutely necessary for proper examinations,
and the wonder OF it is that, with all the

the suffieiency of collateral, he knows moth

are blamable in the very largest degree for
the failure OF banks under their supposed
inspection and management But the sys-

John ID. Rockefeller has departed from

for so many wears. lie has given TO the
press an Interview dccrying the demand
for government regulation Of industries.
now gaining such Roadway In this country.
The scneral principle with which Nj.
Rockefeller opens his interview Is sound.
az We limit opportunity" he says. we
will nut the brakes on our national de-
velopment"
The intelligent demanU for regulation Is
based on precisely that idea. Mr.. Warren.
former president OF the Chicago Board OF
Trade. told the Interstate Commerce conf
mission the other day that grain dealers
were driven out OF bt siLess by railroad
favoritism shown to a few elevator owners.
The subject Of the railroad rate regulating
law passed by congress at its last session
was to keep open TO all the door Of op-
portunity.
Wholesome food is necessary to success.
To allow meat dealers to offer to consum-
ers. in the guise OF wholesome food. prod
ucts that will undermine the health OF the
public Is TO limit opportunity. In the in
terest OF fair play ard an equal chance for
all in the game of life. putting bad food on
the market must be prohibited.
Those who wish to succeed at the ex-
pense OF their fellows by practicing fraud
and deception should be prevented from so
doing. They should play the game fairly
or they should be ruled out. II accounts
are true. Mr.. Rockefeller himself has sue
ceeded so marvelously I'm business not by
keeping the door OF opportunity open to all.
but by using unfair tactics 10 close the
door and keep it closed against his COM
petitors.
Government regulation that attempts TO
do more than protect the public health and
keep the door of opportunity open TO all
is unwise regulation. But Mr.. Rockefeller
has failed TO specify wherein recent legis-
alton has gone too far His citing of meat
inspection legislation does not strengthen
his case. The packers themselves now con-
cede that regulation, instead of hurting
their business will help it both at home
aud abroad by increasing popular conf
donce i'm the purity Of their products.

DOWN TO Two-cENT FAREs.

The Pennsylvania announcement
of a $40 rate for a 1.OOO-mile mileage
book. good for bearer on all its lines
west as we'll as east of Pittsburg. is
with reason accepted in railroad cir
cles as the prelude to the fiat 2 cents
per mile passenger fare, universal in
territory from Chicago to the Atlantic
coast. Under such an arrangement
the proportion of receipts from local
tickets at II cents, as the leading Of
ficials point out, will be very small
and not enough to overcome the COM
petitive forces which have thrown
down far greater obstacles the last
three months to reduction of the fare
maximum.
When in midsummer the great
Pennsylvania system announced a ma
terial reduction on part of its main
line. competitors assumed that the
real program included the early es-
adjustment of the 2-cent maximum
This explains their rapid progress to-
wards that basis, which the Pennsyl-
vania now carries TO within one short
step. and really thereby makes inevi-
table. The theory is plausible that this
method was chosen rather than an out

lower than ? cents.
The significance of this movement
toward lower passenger rates in the
east is that II cannot long be kept
within those boundaries. but must
spread to western territory with more
or less rapidity. IL also furnishes
strong argument to controvert the
pleas of the railroads that their profits
have been confiscsted by the very
moderate taxes levied on their prop
erty and that they are justified in their
attempts at tax evasion.
