saddest sight in Washington.

In all Washington no sadder sight
can be found than JOSEPH G. CANNON
Of Illinois. Impervious to modern ideas
and incapable Of assimilating the new
theory of government, he persists in
obtruding his queer, old fashioned
notions on a generation that long since
olitgrew them. His latest offence is to
declare that legislation for the Fed
eral inspection of all meat products
should be considered calmly
Where has this singular person been
during the last dozen years? He can
not have associated with the progressive
men of to-day. Had he ~frequented
their society he would know that i'm
portant legislation should be
considered calmly. He would under
stand that hysterical action alone can
produce good results. He would be
alive to the fact that denunciation is
far more important than proof. He
would not be blind to the superiority
Of superficiality over thoroughness. He
would realize that unsubstantiated
charges are much more desirable as a
basis for legislation than the oompara-
lively tame and commonplace conclu-
sions to be arrived at by the serious and
patient investigator,
Once Speaker CANNON was accounted
a useful Representative in Congress.
It is apparent that his day has passed.
Calm consideration" has gone out Of
fashion entirely, and those statesmen
who cannot adjust themselves to the
new ideas had better clear out. leaving
their places to be filed by novelists
and settlement workers.

thai all Is not as It should be In packing houses,
railway ONT es and the business methods OF Indus

to remedy the evils is not through the channel of
an artlhcially stimulated public hyStera, The
sentiment excited by methods only too frequently
employed Of late is closely alin TO. II not Identical
with. the rage and cIamor which results In the

The lynching OF a vast industry In which. d.
rec.!y or Indirectly, hundreds OF thousands OF our

OF such an industry simply because OF the as yet

a commcndahle exhibition OF American justice

Greatest Long Distance Runners.

The Tarahumares, a great tribe of the northern
sierra Madre, are the greatest runners on earth
not In regard to speed but In endurance. The
name Tarahumare Is q corruption OF relamah. q
foot runner, rala meaning a foot. They are EN-.
ployed by the MeNcan Government authorities. and
remarkable records exist Of their marvellous stay
ing powers as messengers. They have been known
10 average 10 miles per day; there Is an absolute
record that is indis putable Of a Ta~rahumare sent
with an important Government document that
necessi,ated an immediate answer covering the
distance there and back, a SIX hundred mile iaunt,
In hve days. or an average of 100 miles covered 10
each twenty four hours. not counting the time
lost while the answer was being prepared, and II
must be remembered that this feat was not per-
formed upon a fair road or on an undulatlnE plain.
II was over the widest country that the Sierra
Madre affords: up and down paths that the very
deer would hardly esteem q trail: the only Level
ground encountered was the crossing OF a deep
river. Also, the journey was done on "p!nole'"
a species OF popcorn ground down and mixed with
water, and the runner carried his camp equipment

Foreign Trade and Foreign Tariffs.

In the June number Of Appleton's
Magazine Mr.. HAROLD BoLcE submits
the argument hat the great and pri-
mary defect of our whole consular sys-
TEN is within the Federal departments
at Washington rather than in the con-
sulates themselves. "The one thing
lacking" he says, "is information on
technical tariff matters" He holds that
we are all on the wrong track in the
matter of consular reform, and declares
it strange that Secretary Roof, who Is
noted for his powers of penetration, has
not discovered how all economic initia-
tive designed to promote the consular
service is strangled by red tape in Wash
ington." Now that Mr.. BoLcE has sup
piled the Secretary with a pair of SAM
WELLER's patent double million mag
nityin' gas microscopes of hextry power
VIC may hope for the real thing" in con-
6ular reform.
II may not be doubted that ignorance
or unfamiliarity with the tariffs and the
custom house rules of foreign countries
imposes some limit on our foreign sales.
Nor mSy it be doubted that it would be
an excellent idea to keep up to date
information constantly on tap in Wash
ington. This writer states that "one
hundred and seventy-six countries, in
addition to u own, have now sur
rounded themselves by tariff walls and
have announced to the world the COM
plicated terms upon which they are
willing to receive imports" All of these
various tariffs are subject to change at
any time, and changes are frequent. A
knowledge of rates is often of value to
exporters. knowledge of and careful
attention 10 custom house rules and
regulations is little short of imperative.
Merchandise must often be packed,
marked and classified in some specially
prescribed manner and must be accom-
panied by a Specified number of invoices

Horses and Auto m bibles.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Fair Play
Jr," cynlcally says that horses and carriages
should be excluded from the parks.
Autolsts must not forget that horses were here
FIRST, and there are a hundred or more horse drawn
vehicles to every auto. While autos arc a de
lighttul pleasure, they cannot be depended upon
TO deliver perlshable property. The grocer, the
butcher, the baker must rely upon horses. w
could dispense with autos, and the world would
90 on as before: but we cannot as yet dispense with
horses-and autos that emit foul gases are Ger
tainly highly Objectionable, as are those that send
forth quantities of steam.
We must not blind ourselves TO the fact that
the auto has many drawbacks, and we must b,
willing TO admit that others have nights as well as
ourselves. To wrap ourselves up In a mantle Of
self-complacency will not serve our true interests
and we must not ignore the rights OF horsemen
use autos and horses, and ] can Justly see
where horsemen have TO bear much patiently from

The nomination Of Colonel JOcELYN and
Colonel DUdGAN for promotion will have
the approval of all who are interested in
the welfare OF the United States Army.
Personal friends of other Colonies may wish
that their friends had been selected, but
the principle of choosing general officers
from senior rather than from junior grades
will be indor@ed by all friends of the army.
Both JoCELYH and DUGdAE enlisted o.
privates In the early days OF the civil war.
They have risen step by step through all
grades. Both will retire ut the age limit
in a little less than a year, but for the few
months Of their service they will bring to
their work the fruit Of long experience and
training in military life.
These promotions following the advance
ment Of Colonel BUBB to a BriGadier-Gen-
eralcy, strengthen the hope that favoritism
and political pull have lost their grip in the
army.

Of information would be Of %unquestion-
able advantage at times. When change
is made by any country the ranking
consular official therein stationed should
NJ once report the change, with lie
terms translated into English, for the
correction Of the records in Washington.
This would be Of some importance In
our foreign trade.
We cannot accent this writer's view
OF the Importance of either our Consuls
or a knowledge OF foreign tariffs as
agencies in trade expansion. Both are
agencies undoubtedly. but they are Incl
dental and not primary. Thew are con-
tributory agents. but they are not crea-
tive forces. The trade must be made
by those who want trade, by merchants
and manufacturers who want to sell
their goods. without that primary
agency we might send out Consuls az
we now send out circulars, and might
get notice of tariff changes by cable in
stead of via Brussels weeks after they
are made, and ships would leave our
ports with empty holds except for such
wares as were ordered by those who
needed them.
Our consular service certainly needs
a larger revision than that given il bv
legislation during this session, and our
consular reports and records need better
editing. but it is a profound mistake to
! rely too much on official activity in trade
/ making or to place too much depend
enoe upon forces which are after all
only incidental. The world of COM
merce ia like the Kingdom of Heaven in
that it "suffereth violence and the vio-
