Again, the Army.

Russia must have a coup d'etat, a
responsible ministry, or anarchy.
This is the summary of the situa-
tion that recent dispatches have out
lined Perhaps it is not quite ac-
curate to suggest anarchy as a pos
sibility of the future, when there is
so much reason for regarding pres
ent conditions in the empire as
equivalent to anarchy.
a coup d'etat means TO prorogue
the duma and send it home, and the
duma would only acquiesce in such
program under compulsion of
force. The army must be loyal, and
there's the rub. Sooner or later the
Cars army is going to turn and
rend him. 1t may not happen for an
other century, it may be tomorrow.
But it viii happen, if absolutism is
TO continue.
Two conflicting influences are al
ways at work in such an army as
that of Russia, as the history of
military despotism proves. The in
stinct of obedience. OF discipline, OF
unity, is centripetal. 1t tends to
hold the organization together. But
working along with this is also the
centrifugal force. Men talk and
learn and exchange ideas. They
cannot be kept in abiect ignorance.
They have time and association and
opportunities for intimacies and
condolences. They develop a social
consciousness that might not come
TO them in many generations but
for the experience Of the army.
Notoriouslv, these influences have
been at work in the Russian army.
Half the soldiers who went TO Man
churia and found suffering and de-
feat because of incompetence at
home became revolutionists or at
least malcontents. The Car today
hesitates about dissolying the duma
and squelching its troublesome de-
mands for responsible administra-
tion, only because of the alarming
reports of extended ana increasing
disloyalty. While he hesitates, the
duma may yet force real conces-
sions.
Liberty viii be in sight for Rus
STA on the day when the soldiers re-
fuse TO obey the command to fire.

American Meats.

Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson is
a most cheering oPtimist, whose
comfortable forecasts are especially
entitled to consideration because
ample experience has given ground
for the impression that he knows
whereof he talks. He told the coun-
try not long ago that there would
be no more great and widespread
and general crop failures in this
country Now he is telling about
the future of the American meat
industry. His reasons for assur-
ance that this industry is stiH only
in its infancy are certainly worthy
the consideration of anybody who
may fear that Serious damage has
recently been inflicted on it.
American livestock raised out of
doors, fatteHed out of doors, is
known as the. heaIthiest in the
world, begins the Secretary. No
other country produces corn and
cattle side by side;- and nothing
else has ever been discovered which
makes as good beef as corn. That
is the basis of the superiority of
American meats. Other countries
employ various makeshifts to get
inferior feed for finishing" their
cattle. They buy linseed cake, cot
tonseed cake, peanut cake, and feed
them to produce their best beef,
coming 10 the United States TO get
most of these foodstuffs, which are
not much used here because the
United States has corn. The best
slaughtering and packing establish
merits are American, and the best
inspection law is American. Finally,
the Secretary gives assurance that
steps viii be taken to make the
world know all these things, and
know them thoroughly.
The real greatness of the meat
industry has not yet been approx
mated, If Secretary Wilson is cor
rect. The future viii see il inn
mensely bigger and more dominant
than it is now, and it viii be a
domination of quality.
Our veteran Secretary of Agri-
culture is an expert in his business.
He has devoted a lifetime TO the
science of agriculture. He viii be
fully recognized one of these days
as the man who first succeeded in
popularizing this science; who in
duced the farmers to realize that
they needed TO be scientists as well;
who convinced them that people

A Papal Retreat.

No doubt now remains that the
efforts of Pope Plus X to restore
the Gregorian chants and the music
of Palestrina 20 the Catholic Church
service, TO the exclusion of all other
forms, have met with failure. The
encyelical of few years ago has
never been obeyed in this country,
for the simple reason that the eccle-
siastical authorities here were con-
vineed that it was Impractical if not
impossible.
Now Plus himself is apparently
convinced of the truth. In the cur
rent number of Musical America is
dispatch dealing with a recent
interview between the archbishop
of New York and the Pope on the
subject. 1t says among other
things:
Archbishop Farley was very candid
and told his holiness that every bishop
in the United States had tried as best
he could 10 enforce its provisions IN
found that the congregations were
much opposed 10 the change. and that
the exclusion of the women from the
ChOirs gave rise 10 dissenslOns and
murmurs against the parish priests.
Plus X, who had listened with great
attention TO the archbishop's remarks,
observed that the same difficulties We're
met with In Italy, and that in Rome
itself few churches so far had even
tried 10 comply with the provisions Of
the papal decree. In fact, an active
movement was started at nrst among
the choir singers 10 oppose its eXecu-
ton All over italy the PO1e said. the
same was the case with the exception
of some Of the churches In charge of the
religious orders
The Pope said that much as he de
sired a reform in church music, he did
not wish TO push IL too hard when the
interests OF the church We're at stake,
as was the case in America, and told
the archbishop 20 inform his collea CUES
that he relied entirely on their disCre-
tiOn regarding the matter
Thus, in all probability, ends a
movement that, however conscien-
tiously and dcvoutly conceived. was
almost beyond the enormous power
of the Vatican. American Catholics,
practically without exception, viii
rejoice in such a settlement of the
question.
