who need her she must give another to pay her own expenses for the day. She is so poor that she has even earn ed her education, as she is giving it out studying sometimes but a day ahead of her pupils. She is frail, crippled, very weak; she goes about in steel har- ness and on crutches. Though she is still under middle age, her hair is white as snow, from days and nights of unbelievable suffering. From morning till midafternoon she teaches in Q pri- vate school to earn money for her charities From midafternoon until evening, if able to work, she devotes herself to the needs of those poorer than she From supper time till g, till 10, till midnight if need be, she faces the multitude of men and boys-boys of nine and men of fifty--wno have come to her for help. Sometimes two in seat, sometimes on boards, between the seats, sometimes on the edges of plat forms and the treads of stairways and against the walls of the railways, they crowd her schoolhouse, while she and her assistants are everywhere among them hearing recitation, giving aid and counsel, explaining, arguing, laughing, encouraging stirring the solid, sodden mass of the city's poor with the leaven of hope and possibility.-From Sophie Wright; The Best Citizen of New Or leans" by John L. Mathews, in Every- body's Magazine.

DETERRENT,

Just now New Zealand comes to the front once more as an ideal country, Q sort of Utopia, an earthly political and economic paradise. This new appear ance of that country's affairs before the lime light of public contemplation is due to the exposition concerning it made in the New York newspa- pers by New Zealands prime minister, Sir Joseph George Ward. New Zea- land is blessed ip having so enninently wise, judicious and sagacious a man at the head of its affairs as Sir Joseph. He's all right" He has also great power in directing and controlling af- fairs and initiating reforms in his is- land, It is set forth that there are no trusts there now because the minute a trust became domineering, or insolent, or oppressive, the government set up q rival corporation that undersold the trust and thus throttled it. So the gov-  ernment is on top-owns practically all the coal mines, all the insurance busi- ness, all the railroads and practically all the public utilities. It is a paternal government through and through The people are happy and prosperous. There are no millionaires, no unemployed classes, no paupers. With only mill lion inhabitants the colony's private wealth is $1,85O,OOO,OOO Old age pen sions are provided for persons who are sixty-five years old or more who have resided for 20 years continuously in the colony.
 Now that all sounds and is mighty good, Hurrah for New Zealand.
 But New Zealand isn't Russia, isn't England, isn't the United States. Its inhabitants are homogeneous, not hete- lrogeneous. The few Maoris there don't count in the argument It is an easy matter for the population to agree in political and economic matters because | they are all of the same class practical | ly, all intelligent and well posted on governmental affairs. Tt must be ob- vious," says w. P. Reeves, the agent general for New Zealand, that in a country without an aristocracy or House of Peers, without a State Church | of denominational school system, with out standing army, navy a foreign policy, or 8 millionaire class, politics must concern themselves chiefly with economic questions, matters of admin istration, and reforms aiming at some improvement of public morals"
 Tn other words, what can be done in New Zealand cannot be done in a big nation where people of all nations and kindreds and tongues are gathered to- gether and clamor and debate, all with different antecedents of birth, different languages, different ways of living, diff ferent degrees of intelligence, different political ideas and where tens of thou sands are intensely ignorant, That is a problem New Zealand has never had to 1 tackle,

.publies regard the United States. He
 must convince them that the country has no intention of gobbling them up. He must also make it plain to them that it is for their best material inter- ests to do more commercial business with this country. We are on the best
 of terms with Mexico and Cuba and our trade relations with them are in- innate and extensive. They do not dis trust us They know better than to be suspicious of us. Ships necessarily Iply between New York and Havana, Vera Cruz and Tampico. But the case | is quite different with South America. Only 15 per cent, of tke imports of the ten South American republics in the
 year 1905 was from the United States This task of Secretary Root is a big one. He is very able man, a very convincing talker. Let us hope that he
 will have great success in establishing
 closer confidential relations and great 1 ly increase our commerce with those
 suspicious and ungrateful South Amer
 ican folks, even if our part of that
 commerce has to be done in ships fly-
 ing the British flag for lack of Ameri-
 can ships.

CHAMBERLAIN.

Yesterday Birmingham, England, took special and proud note of the fact that Joseph Chamberlain completed on that day thirty years of continuous representation of Birmingham in the House of Commons, and also reached his seventieth birthday, and all over the United Kingdom the event is being eel ebrated, Strong and vigorous this statesman is also to-day despite his having reached the Scriptural time linn it. The Osler theory falls flat and in- gIoriously where the age of British statesmen is concerned. Zimmerman, the present prime minister, will be sev- enty next September [. Palmerston was seventy when he took the helm. Disraeli was sixty-four when he became prime minister, and at seventy gained his long lease of power and in those days also wrote 'Lothair'' and "En- dymion." And the list of statesmen in the zenith of their power at seventy might be considerably extended.
 Chamberlain at the age of forty be- gan his parliamentary career. MT. Chamberlain began by being the boss of his city. He has ended by being the boss of the Tory party, the admired of duchesses and the hero of dukes. Cheerful yesterdays and confident to- morrows" is the motto of the former Foreign Secretary. He expects to be Prime Minister some time, and he ex- poets to make the British Empire pro- teetionist.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1906-07-09

His nomination as a cadet by J. B. Taylor, director of the East India Company, was dated December 15, 1918; on the 8Oth of the same month he was appointed lieutenant in the Sth Bom- bay Regiment, at the age of sixteen years and six months. He was pro- noted captain in September, 1926, and on April 25, 1927, was retired on Lord Gives fund pension, which he drew for seventy-nine years, less only a few
 days. The certified cause of death of this invalid of 1887, on April 23. 1906, was "weakness due to old age"

advantage of beneficial enterprises. !" The Evening Herald has heretofore called attention to this effect of the policy, if put into operation. There would be small incentive for a captain of industry" or the organizer and financier of great enterprises to make much money beyond the limit fixed by law. simply to have it confseated to unknown public purposes. None of our great railroad systems nor mining or manufacturing enterprises could be carried through and financed by men who were limited to a fortune of $1OOO,- o0O or $5,00OOOO.
 Prof. Crook favors a progressive tax on inheritances, as a revenue measure, and one based on the correct principle of levying taxes for the support of government with primary regard to benefits received and ability to pay. This tax is well established and ap- proved in England, and in several of our states. But a tax heavy enough to limit fortunes would involve other qusetions. "Even so low a rate as 30 per cent" he says, would mean a tax of $l5,00O,000 for every estate of $50,00O,- 900, and three are now many fortunes of that size, and in the case of some we'll known fortunes the tax would amount to upward of $4S.OO0 OOO." His objection to this is that such "easy marks for the tax gatherer would tend to extravaganza and responsibility in the government, whereas greater financial responsibility is one of the first requirements of good government. 1t is maxim of public finance that
