ORIGIN OF NEW INDUSTRY.

A new feature of the daily consular
and trade reports is halftone pictures
of Greek lace and embroidery This is
new industry established in pc
cullar way. After the war between
Greece AMI Turkey about eight years
ago, Athens was crowded with desti-
tempting to discover how these women
might be able to help themselves, it
was found that they knew how to
weave on hand looms and that they
were in the habit of making their own
clothes. The wife Of a British minis
ter furnished the means for the es-
tablishment Of factory in which they
worked and where they produced cot
! tons, which found ready sale in Eng
land.
This practical minded woman next
noticed embroidery on the skirts of the
peasant women's dresses and on the
sleeves of their jackets. and established
schools for fancy needle work, in
which these Thessalan women were
the instructors and the Athenan girls
the pupils. The result is that there
are now about two hundred and twen-
ty girls at work in the royal school of
needle work and laces at Athens. and
branch schools have been founded at
Aegina, Corinth, Salassi, Koropi, Ke-
rate and Ithaca in Greece; at Monastir
and Saliconica in Thessaly, and in
Crete. In all, about a thousand girls
are employed
The report says that Greek embroid-
cry is distinctive from that of any
other country, and excels in the beauty
of its designs. These have certain his
toric interest and show the successive
Byzantine, Venetian and Turkish in
mural decorations in the ancient pal
aces of Mycenae and Crete
Thus it happened that the harboring
Of these TheSSalian refugees led to the
establishment of an industry which is
destined to become a very important
one, contributing materially to the
slender resources of Greece The pic
lures printed in the consular reports of
these specimens of needle work indicate
rare beauty of design and the text
states that they are worked out in COL
ors with exquisite effect The product
of these technical schools finds a ready !
market in London and Paris, where j
they are quite the vogue among people !
of rank and station.

pean conditions. Where It ceases to be
exactly English it becomes distinctly
American"-thati is. it proceeds in its
own rare environment along lines like
those followed by it's original.
In this discussion the author uses the
word English" as general term rath-
er than British" and points to models
In Scotland and Ireland as we'll as in
England which American civilization
has followed or paralleled. Americans
have the language, laws and pOlity Of
the English, the wit and eloquence Of
the Irish, the commercial aptitude and
other fine qualities of the Scotch.
Admiral Bridge fortif1es his argu-
ment that racial characteristics Of
Americans account for the high moral
standards of the country by Offering
some figures to show the dominance Of
English blood in public affairs. He
states that twenty-four out Of twenty
six presidents Of the republic have
borne English names. The same Of
every chief justice of the federal su-
preme court but one. Nine living JUS
tees of the supreme court are claimed
as English, also twenty-three Of the
twenty seven living judges Of the fed
eral circuit courts and seventy-nine
out Of ninety federal district court
judges Among legislators and execu-
tives who are elected the proportion Of
English names is striking. For in
stance, 26 out of "a speakers of the
house of representatives appear to be
Of English stock, also IS United States
senators out of 80 and 216 out of 1856
congressman.
Federal officialdOm is by no means
exceptional in this respect, for the
writer finds 35 out of 40 governors and
"a out Of 1O3 mayors hearing English
names. In the cosmopolitan city Of
New York 76 bank presidents out Of
100 are English by name, and 316 out
Of Ala universities ndcolleges through
out the country are presided over by
men of English lineage. From this
showing it would seem that at least

Captain Woods, who played the role
of Said Pasha" at the Keylor Grand
Monday and Tuesday nights, should
not take to heart the alleged criti-
cisms of his singing and acting by
members of the Statesman staff as
published in the Morning Union. None
of the editorial or reportorial force of
the Statesman witnessed the produc-
ton, and they expressed no opinion of
its merits on hearsay evidence. The
Unions quotations were merely one of
Willie B. Goods joshes. So far as
we know, Captain Woods may be the
best singer in the world. So let him

CHAINS OR CORDS OF SILK.

Discussing the effect of the rate bill
provision against the ownership of coal
mines by railroads, the Railroad Ga
zette offers to prove that the law does
not prevent joint ownership and control
of coal mines and coal roads, which is
the kind least amenable to government
tai regulation. The Gazette cites the
Northern Securities company as evil
dence that there are many ways of es-
tablishing communities of interest and
that they can be formed more quickly
than the supreme court can get arond
to dissolve them.
This expression from a railroad paper
might reasonably be taken as a reflect
ton of the railroad view of the pro-
posed rate law 1t is an intimation that
there are many ways open to avoid it.
While this is true and would be true
of any law short Of confiscation, the
country does not expect the railroads
to assume the attitude Of the bad boy
whose intellect is all absorbed in the
problem of how to do mischief and
avoid the consequences. The railroads
have been fairly warned that the Hep
burn law intended and, in fact, does
put them on their honor They are not
expected to go about to break the law,
but to exert themselves to give it a
fair trial. If it works tremendously
and well because of the honesty and
fairness of the railroads, it goes a long
way toward taking the transportation
question out of politics. If it does not
work we'll because of the dishonesty of
The railroads Or the thickness of their
special counsel, why the law fails, but
the motive to control transportation is
not thereby lost. Neither the people
nor their representatives will go back

reading. AS far as the roads are con-

Good English Blood In America.


Writing under the caption "a Great
Moral Upheaval in America" Admiral
C. A. G. Bridge discourses in the Nine
teenth Century and After on 1.-The
movement which has been in visible
progress the last few months in the
United States" manifestation which,
he declares, would be more fifty char
acterized by the title THE Uprising of
q Great People" The article is in
spired by three agitations most con-
spicuous in this country at the close OF
1905, the revolt against bossism," the
relentless investigation of the insur-
ance companies and the protest against
laxity Of divorce. Arguing from re-
suits back to the cause, Admiral Bridge
apprises his British readers that the
moral upheaval Is not to be marveled
at and that the term 'hysteria" is
wide of the mark as a definition of
the phenomenon. The movement had
to come not because conditions were
intolerably rotten, but because the
latent social and civic righteousness Of
the American people must assert itself.
In other words, that righteousness Is
always vigilant and only now and
then finds the enemy massed for
sweeping destruction.

value by contemporaries whose respect
