CANsT CO-OPERATE.

The Wisconsin Commissioner of La tbor has been studying the history of cooperative business ventures in the United States, and what he has found has convinced him that no lasting, eff fective reform in the industrial situa- ton in this country can ever be ec- compllshed by the application of CO., operative doctrines The individuality of Americans is against them.
 There have been many efforts at CO., operation in this country, some of them on a large scale, But no great progress was made with cooperative stores until 1867, when the Patrons of Husbandry or grangers, were organ ized. But by poor business methods together with popular djitrust and in dustrial depression, the state agent purchasing system was abolished. The great majority of the cooperative stores established after the panic of 1873 met with failure. Of the fifty started by the Knights of Labor be- tween 1871 and 1877, few are still in operation. The Farmers Alliance Ex- change, which transacted a business of $1O, 900 900 in 1890, fell away"
 And so forth and so on. The people of this country are evidently too smart to be cooperative, Perhaps it will yet be plain that they are too smart to succeed in the municipal ownership and management of public utilities, and even the initiative and referendum may fail But when that happens it may not be the time to despair.

4 M.4LARIOUS LAND.

Whats the matter with little Greece? She's not all right. Far from 1t. She is So infested with malaria that she is thoroughly scared as well as sick. The disease has become so prevalent as to check the development of rural life and engage the special attention of physicians of other nations. The facts show that in population of 2,5OO,- 900 there were annually 25O,OOO eases of malaria and nearly 1,800 deaths from the disease. Last year the cases in creased to nearly 1oOOooO, with 5,916 deaths.
 Nobody knows, we believe. just what malaria is, but the mosquito Is well known and is accused of being the prin- cipal transmitter of malaria. So live ly anti-mosquito campaign may be ex- peoted in Greece. Success to 1t, or any thing else that will drive the malaria out, Greece has had and has trouble enough without that.

NOT uNcONSTTrrTEONAL.

The Emperor William is attracting almost as much attention as our own President Roosevelt. And, like Presi- dent Roosevelt, he has been accused of being too imperious or imperial. Prince von Buelow dealt Interestingly and sig
 nifcantly with this accusation in his recent speech in the Reichstag. How far, he said, a minister is prepared to cover with his responsibility the mon- arch's expressions of opinion and of feeling is a matter of political perspec- tive, of sense of duty towards the Crown and the country, and lies within the sphere of political imponderabilia.
 I can very well conceive that a minis ter may find that for the sovereign to make himself personally too prominent. that an exaggerated subjectivity on the part of the monarch, that the too fre- quent appearance of the monarch with out that ministerial clothing of which Prince Bismarck sagely spoke-I can well conceive that minister might find this to be inimical to the interests of the monarchy, and that he might be unable to take responsibility for it be- fore the crown, the country and his tory But, on the other hand, the idea that in Germany the monarch must have no views of his own regarding the state and the government that he

must only think with the brain of his ministers, and that he must only say what has been drawn up for him by his ministers, is fundamental error. It is inconsistent with German consti- tutional law, and is also contrary to the wishes of the German people. The German people does not want a mere shadow of an Emperor. It wants an Emperor of flesh and blood. The action and the utterances of a strong person. ality, such as even his adversaries will admit our Emperor to be, are far from amounting to an infringement of the Constitution. Can you tell me of a single instance in which our Emperor has put himself in opposition to the Constitution? I do not think that you can mention a single instance, or that you will ever be able to mention one, and I am convinced that our Emperor will always conscientiously observe the Constitution in accordance with his duty, But so long as the Emperor re- mains within the limits of the Consti- tuition l am unable to regard the con- plaints of personal regime or of ab- solutism as anything more than the ex- pression of the prevailing tendency to exaggeration.

4 THEORY AND 4 CONDITION

The theory is, we believe, that min isters of the gospel are servants, but some of them feel that they are oblig ed to do too much serving. Because he has been forced to collect his salary as well as money for the running ex- penses of his church, the Rev. J. B. Whitton, of the Warren Street Metho- dist church of Trenton, New Jersey, has announced that he will not stay with the congregation after January 1. He says he should not be compelled to be collecting agent for the parish. Besides gathering money to pay the coal bills and the interest on the church mortgage, the minister says he has been compelled to collect money for even the necessaries of life.
 The Bible says the Iaborer is worthy of his hire, and if he is it doesn't seem as if he ought to have to labor to col lect it after he has labored to earn it. Perhaps a church that is in the eondi- tion MT Whittons church seems to be in should go out of business unless it can induce somebody who is rich to help it.

A story of newspaper enterprise in the city of Panama is told by Joseph D.

The London Daily Mail tells of a hoax played at Bal1ymena, County Antrim. Some time ago placards were posted throughout the neighborhood declaring that the War Office author dties were purchasers of cats in unlim- ited numbers. The announcement set forth that barracks at home and abroad were overrun with rats, which not only destroyed the soldiers rations and clothing. but even attacked their boots. Half a crown waIg offered for every suitable cat, and it was an- nounced that a War Office official would be at the next Ballvmena fair to purchase the animals. When the eventful day came cats took the prom fnent position usually occupied by pigs. Carloads of them were driven into the town, and sharp lookout was kept for the War Office official. There were all sorts and conditions of cats, all ages and many breeds, but the pur- chaser failed to put in an appearance. The people are now looking for the perpetrator of the hoax.

Take heed of the rising prestige of Senator LaFollette, says the Kansas City Star. "The little Wisconsin man is not statesman of ideal poise. He sometimes proposes practical things, But he has pretty sound motive for everything he does. If he seems to be making trouble for the sake of eX- citement, the probabilities are that he is doing it for the purpose of exposing people who should be exposed And he does not care whit whether the man exolged is a member of his own party or of the opposition party, That is one of the best things about LaFol- lette. That is the chief reason why he has made the independent vote of Wisconsin large enough to dominate the State and most of the political di- visions of the State"

Colonies of Italian immigrants are being started in various places in the South. Until recently such imnigra- tion has been confined very largely to the big cities. For example, 1t was said by the immigration authorities in New York not long ago that ninety per cent. of the Italians landing in that city re- mained there. The movement south ward will be welcome, for the South wants workers to cultivate its land and men of sunny Italy ought to be able to deal successfully with conditions in that region. A colony of fifty farmers from North Italy has just been started in Brookhaven, Miss, and will engage in truck farming, shipping it's products to the New Orleans markets.
