Post" comments thus upon the situation
as it stands:-''The plain truth is that
both Senate and House prefer to go on
treating the consulates as party spoils,
instead of making them means of wor-
thiiy representing this country abroad
and giving proper aid to American COM
merce. Mr.. Root stated but the fact.
Broken down statesmen who have to be
taken care Of managers of State ma
chimes who have to be rewarded-they
are thessort Of men whom Congressman
delight to foist upon the service. A boss
like Hanna goes to Mckinley and com
pels hint didn't require much compel
ling--to send man like Gowdy to
Paris, where he was a kind of roaring
joke all through his term. In the same
way, Quay forced Roosevelt to name his
diseredited henchman, Saylor. So long
as these things go on, it is nonsense for
Senator's TO profess anxiety about i'm
proving the consular service, and whine
about their desire to meet the needs and
wishes of our merchants. If they would
consent to take their own patronage
grabbing hands off, the reform could be
brought about easily enough. But they
won't. 'tiil public opinion clubs them off.
The Reuublican leaders in the Senate
and in both houses. for that matter, pro-
fess to be so filled with anxiety concern
ing the extension of our trade in foreign
lands that they are desirous of foisting
upon. the people a shin subsidy measure
that would take many millions of dollars
from the pockets of the people for the
benefit of ship owners, upon the theory
that the more ships we have flying our
flag in foreign posts the better it will be

In his talk before the House Commit
tee on Appropriations concerning the de-
fects of our consular service Secretary
Root told some plain and wholesome
truths. but it is evident from the tone Of
his remarks that he does not take very
optimistic view of the prospects of re1
form, says the Rochester s'Uniorgahnd
Advertiser Both he and the President
are eutspoken in favor Of doing away
with the wretched old system under
which the interests of our foreign com
meree have long suffered, but Congress
has the power to obstrnct their plan of
reform and there is too much reason to
fear that no effective legislation in that
direction will soon be forthcoming. A bill
embodying the idea Of Secretary Root has
been introduced in the Senate, but. as he
has pointed out, its virtues have been
largely extracted by the COMMITTEES by
which It was reported, and be says that
its passage in any form is a matter IF
some doubt. The New York HHsve,,;nr

ing Of Kinchau Heights, and had they
fought otherwise they would never have
achieved the most important preliminary
step in their march upon Port Arthur.
They advanced shoulder to shoulder in
the series of desperate assaults upon the
Russian right at Liaoyang and the testi-
mony of eye witnesses was that the price
there paid by Oku for ultimate victory
was none too large. Mr.. Roosevelt loses
sight of the fact that the difference be-
tween regular and irregular warfare has
not been materially affected either by the
changes in modern tartics or the improve
ment in modern arms. The time spent
in training men to act together is never
time wasted.

SATURDAY JANUARY p. 1906

The bill providing for the abandon
ment of navigation on the Morris Canal
introduced in the Legislature by Assem-
blynlan Mills. of Morris County. is en-
tirely satisfactory to no one except the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, says
the Newark Evening News" Some of
its features are acceptable to the people
of the State in general. some are in ac-
cordance with the views of the residents
of the sections through which the canal
passes, some meet conditions desired by
Newark. but still there are vital objec-
tions TO the measure The bill. with one
minor change. is the same as that of last
year which was 50 ignominiously killed
after bribery had been resorted to to
push it through the Assembly. 1t is the
railroad plan, approved by the Public
Service Corporation but modified some
what at the suggestion of the Newark
Board of Trade 1t comes before the
Legislature, therefore. with its provisions
well understood, with its faults evident,
and its good features held up as an
offset to it's defects.
But it is bill that cannot win ap-
proval as a whole That was made mani
fest last year when. ii was before the
Newark Board of Trade. That body made
q most thorough study of the measure
as originally drafted by the railroad at
torneys and introduced in the Legislature
by Assemblyman Duffield. As conse-
quence of the dissection of its provisions,
the bin was substantially amended at the
suggestion of the Board Of Trade. The
rights of the property owners in the vi
cinity of Lake Hopatcong were safe
guarded. the interests of Newark were,
sn the whole, conserved, bM when it came
to the question of taking from the bill
those features that gave the canal COM
pany the right to sell the water privi-
leges of Greenwood Lake and to control
its flow, and to give the State the
privilege of testing its equities in the
CANAL baein in Jersey City, there was
refusal On the part Of the lessees of the
CANAL to submit to such proposed changes.
Hhe bill, therefore, went to final pas
sage IN the Assembly last year with
those Objectionable features unelimi-
mated, and they are still retained there
in the measure fathered by Assemblyman
Mills. Under these circumstances. the
Newark Board Of Trade can hardly be
expected to approve Of the plan this year
that it disapproved Of last y,ar. In fact,
no bill that gives to the canal company,
after navigation is abandoned the power
to dispose of the enormously valuable
water rights Of Greenwood Lake. should
be given consideration. That is the po-
sition that has been maintained by the
News" consistently during the whols
controversy. ana the opinion may be yen-
tured that il the two provisions referred
70 had been strickss from the bill, and
the water rights and the canal basin
matter had been amended to meet the

Nothing could have been more natural
than that Mr.. Roosevelt should have
talked war to the members of the Inter
State National Guard Association assem-
bled Monday in Washington, says the
Brooklyn Eagle" The President HIM
self has been, is now, and always viii be
a fighter and, while he appreciates the
blessings of peace, he believes war to be
as Inevitable as taxes, and that the best
way to make it less common is for ma
tions to increase their military strength
SO far that the affronts and injuries lead
ing to war will not be inflicted upon them
readily. The purpose Of Mr.. Rooseyelt's
audience is preparation for war, so that
what he had to say ON that subject fell
upon very hospitable ears.
While we have a regular army, it is
well that we should have National
Guard properly articulated with that
army. Such articulation was made pos
| sible through the efforts of Mr.. Root
when he was Secretary of War, and the
methods by which it was to be accom-
/ plished were prescribed in bill put be-
/ fore Congress by Senator Dick. of Ohio,
and duly converted into law. But the
President is evidently not satisfied with
the performances of the Guard nor is he
at all confident that the training of the
regular army is all that it ought to be.
Ninety per cent of the work done today
by a militia regiment or by a regiment Of
regulars is declared by him to be value
less so far as it may be designed to af-
feet the fighting capacity of those regi-
ments in the field.
That is a pretty serious indictment to
come from the Commander-in-Chief of
the army. 1t means that the organiza-
! tions upon which the position of this ma
ton must largely depend in the event Of
| foreign complications are wasting a prec-
ious lot of time The great military
countries of Europe still give to their sol
diery precisely the training Mr. Roose-
yelt condemns, blindly ignoring his the
ways act as the Beers acted in South
Africa, or as our own regiments acted in
the Filipino jungles, that is, every man
as an independent fighting quantity. The
annual maneuvers of the German army,
which in the wonderful precision of
movement and in the cohesion among the
various units of offense and defense have
extorted admiring tributes from our own
visiting officers, are practically futile
alike in purpose and in execution. Mr..
Roosevelt says that men "are not going
to fight shoulder to shoulder when they
get out into the field The Japanese
fought shoulder to shoulder in the storm
