NO ABRoeAT1ov OF sovAnE1cyrY.

The Interparliamentary Union is a most re-
spectacle organization which has at times ef-
fected some good and which is at all times
moved by high and philanthropic purposes and
its meetings are to be regarded with a degree
Of sympathetic interest Seeing however. that
1t is a voluntary organization. without the
slightest official standing, and that its author
ity is purely personal and not representative its
doings are not to be taken too seriously-cer-
tainly not as of any binding force in either law
or morals, upon any Of the countries whose citi-
Zens may be members Of that union.
1t is well to keep these circumstances in rec
Ognition. in view Of some Of the topics which
will come before the union for consideration at
this years meeting. The putting forward Of
some scheme by an American delegate will not
IN the slightest degree commit the American
government or the American people to that
scheme, and will not necessarily indicate that
it is generally regarded with favor in this cOun-
try Indeed, it is quite possible that some
project will thus be broached to which the
American government and the overwhelming
majority of the American nation would be reso-
lutely opposed were it presented to them for
their action.
We feel pretty sure that such would be the
attitude OF America toward the scheme, which
Is suggested, OF creating an international con-
gress with even "a slight sphere OF actual au-
thority" This country does not hesitate to en-
ter such conferences as that at The Hague. It
loyalty abides by the terms of such international
agreements and rules as 1t may voluntarily sub
scribe TO and become party to. But all that is
a very different thing from creating an interna-
tOnal legislature with authority, in even the
slightest degree, over this nation. Laws for
this country are made at Washington. and not
elsewhere The United States is free and in
dependent nation, and has no thought of abro
eating its sovereignty in favor Of any alien or.
ganizatiOn no matter how estimable and beneY-
Olent. The InterparliamentaTy Union may con-
slider such a scheme IL it pleases; but it should
not regard it as an American scheme, or as one
that would be acceptable to America.

tomatically i'm a measure in London, for most
Of the electric underground roads run through
tubular passages, in which the trains act like
pistons. When, in addition to this influence.
suction has been provided by rotary fans at
one end OF the line sensible improvement in
the quality of the air has been perceived. In
Boston two agencies are brought into play. The
air is pumped out in certain places and pumped
in at others, a good circulation being thus pro
noted Nowhere. we believe, has cooling by
artificial means been attempted before. New
York is really going further than any other city
in the world, and she does so because her needs
are greater.
It is now believed that the excess OF heat in
the subway is derived from the car motors and
hence is traceable through a short series Of
transformations back TO the furnaces of the
power house that drives the trains. Traffic
thus becomes a measure of the thermal output
in the subway and the traffic in New York is
without a parallel. 1t is not to be wondered
at that engineers have been little slow in dis
covering how exceptional is the situation here,
but a recognition of that truth is a guarantee
Of final success in the solution Of local prob

manding Issue IN politics to-day they must con-
fess that they voluntarily and enthusiastically
accepted the leadership of a Republican Presi-
dent.
We cannot understand, and we think the
voters will fail to understand the logic of the
appeal which the Democratic managers viii
have TO make TO the country. Turn the ras-
calls out is a plain and ineligible platform.
But il savors altogether too much of sOphisti-
cation TO say: Turn the Republicans out, not
for anything they have done (for we helped
them with their programme and are just as
much committed to it as they are), but simply
Ito give us a chance TO show that we can possi-
"bly do as well they did under the same
circumstances" On such an issue no genuine
national campaign can be fought, and we ex'
pect TO see this years contest assume pecul-
iarly local character. Each constituency will
meet for itself the question whether its sitting
member can advantageOusly be retained or dis
placed. and We fancy that the answer will de
pend largely on the degree of assistance given
by the sitting member to the administration
and its policies. There may be Republicans
whose entire loyalty TO the Presidents princi-
pies is distrusted by the voters, and there may
be Democrats whose pledges of cooperation will
be accepted as sincere and satisfactory. More
over, a few districts Unexpectedly carried by
Republican candidates in 1904 may return this
year TO their normal party allegiance. Yet it is
clear that were President ROosevelt's leader
ship the direct issue he would get to-day vote
of confidence in many more Congress districts
than were carried by Republican candidates
two years ago. And as he asks for another Re
publican majority in. the House to help carry
his policies more definitely and fully into effect.
It is hard to resist the conclusion that the voters
will gladly give it to him.

COOLING THE SUBWAY.

Patrons Of the subway will await with eager
ness the result Of the experiment soon to be
tried at the Brooklyn Bridge station under the
joint auspices Of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion and the Interborough company. The dis
comfort OF travel has been borne this summer
the more easily because of the assurance that
practical steps were being taken to afford re-
lei, and there is a great deal Of curiosity to
know exactly what this will amount to- The
description of the apparatus now being installed
for the purpose sounds WELL but no trustworthy
opinion can be formed until the time has ar
r1Ved for the test Of practical experience
1t is proposed TO discharge over the heads
Of people on the station platforms air which
has been chilled by contact with pipes contain
ing water. The latter will be derived from,
wells and is expected TO have a temporat,ra
20 or % degrees lower than that Of the ont
side atmosphere On hot days. For various reo
sons il may be taken for granted that this dif
ference will not be fully realized by the Dub
lie, but IL there be copious supply of air which
IS only 10 or IS degrees cooler than that IN
tho street there will be occasion for profound
thankfulness. If this is achieved, there will
seem TO be ample justification FOR an extension
Of the system.
Regrettable as is the delay in providing ade-
quate means for mitigating the heat in the
New York subway, there is some excuse for IT,
In degree, IL not in kind the trouble TO be
dealt with here Is unlike that experienced in
ether cities. Ventilation has been effected au.

with the gypsy moth moving upon US as the
entomOloglsts assert in automobiles it be-
hooves us to take notice of the work which is
being done in New England and especially in
Massachusetts, in combating the pest which
has so firmly established itself within the bor-
ders Of that state. The history Of this insect
in America is as full of morals as Esop The
manner Of its introduction thirty eight years
ago furnishes the first In the course of his
experiments in the crossbreeding of wild silk
worms, Professor L. TrOuvelot. of Harvard inn
ported from Europe some egg clusters Of the

the window Of his laboratory and never recov-
cred From this accident came all the train
Of evils which has made the gypsy moth of
Massachusetts almost as famous as the loCusts
of Pharaoh. foreign insect imported in the
hope Of benefiting industry, became one of the
worst agencies in the destruction Of shade and
forest trees. In twenty years it had so multi
piled that the state made large appropriations
for its destruction and for ten years conducted
the work with such vigor that IFS spread was
arrested. In 1900. however, the appropriations
Iapsed, and the moths regained the advantage
which they had lost, until this year their num-
bers and ravages compelled the state to enter
upon new campaign against them. Ten thou
sand dollars year for three years was voted
by the last Legislature, and Congress appro-
Tor the importation of parasites and natural
enemies Of the gypsy moth. Working in COOP
Grafton, DR.. L. o. Howard, chief of the Bureau
OF Entomology at Washington, and Mr. A. H.
kirkland, In charge of the work for the State
of Massachusetts, have imported thousands of
beneficial insects, from which much is expected
in the way of keeping in check-not exterminat-
ing-the pest. In conjunction with the para
site attack, spraying of the trees on the out
skirts Of the afflicted region is systematically
carried on, so that the caterpilars may not ex.
tend their ravages, but spraying. while effective
