NEW STYLES FORMING
IN DIPLOMATIC METHODS

Even the diplomats, who have
usually been thought 20 accomplish
their aims by secret and exclusive
methods, have been Influenced by
the American demand for publicity.
The result is thus expressed by the
Boston Transcript:
Criticisms in q book which has recent

authority on naval affairs and a con-
spicuous imperlalist politician, Of Baron
Sterr ourg German ambassador At

sador. Baron Sternburg enjoys the as
rinction of being a pioneer In new

anba ssadors are speeCh-nakers 10 the
extent that they have accepted invita-
lions from American universities ana
similar institutions from patriotic So
ciaties and commercial organizations 20
deliver addresses from time TO time.
Indeed, all three are especially IN dt-
unaud about commencement tunes.
They have not hesitated to interpret the
Dolicies Of their government, 10 tell
Americans something of the personality

pie Of this country 70 understand the
people of Great Britain Germany, or
France. In the belief that good relc tons
between the governments are only per-
manent when based on good feelings
between the people of two countries. In
several instances these invitations have
been accepted at the instance Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. In no case have diplo-
matte secrets been betrayed or negotia-
tons pending between our own and a
foreign country been embarrassed by
the words of these three ambassadors.
And il is improbable that the criticisms
Of a ReventlOw viii break down q Gus
tom which appears to be as popular in
this country and as fruitful. of good re-
suits as that pursued by the present
British, French, and German ambassa-
doris d Washington.

KING EDWARD HELD UP

Even royalty is not immune from
trust exactions. King Edward is
having a lot of trouble in trying 10

men that is holding him up for
fancy prices for his household com

plains:

pie who can make their own bargains.
MonarChs cannot eat more than aver
age men, and perhaps usually not so
much, and they cannot wear so much
more as 70 account for the heavy eX-
penditure, but the magnihceuce of their
station IS made the means OF fixing q
scale OF expenditure with which their
personal taste may have little 20 do.
King Edward IS now confronted with
something like a trade rebellion because
he is trying TO institute economies.

Loose Talk of FraternitieS.

has seen fit TO make the following
comment on fraternities as MAIN

fence at Central High that the frater-

mites, l have found. win lie. cheat. do

ties, The fraternity has developed pro-
fessional liars IN my school.
If this arraignment be just, there
is good reason TO abolish the secret
societies of the Central High School
of st. Paul, whose chief it is that
presents this arraignment. 1t may
even be that fraternities are desir-
able in no high school. This paper
suggested not long ago that such

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER %. 1906.
Where Does the Shipper Come In?

Rather staggering are the figures
which have been given out by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
On the business of the railroads for
the fiscal year ended June 30 last.
Never before was there so great an
increase in a single year.
Even at that, however, the fiscal
year 1907, now almost half past, is
certain TO make this previous
growth look insignificant. For
there has hardly been a week Of the
current fiscal year which has not
been marked by striking demonstra-
ton of the expansion of traffic and
earnings. The financial page is a
daily riot of richness. set TO the
rhythm OF an ever-swelling vol
ume of golden melody. The year
1907 will be marked by the greatest
increase in dividends that was ever
known. The masters of the great
properties are passing their profits
along; some to employees, more to
stockholders.
Treasures are bursting with sur
plus. The problem Of concealing
the very immensely of revenues
grows harder and harder year by
year. When a Western railroad. in
the granger days, found its earn
ings SO high as to attract the in
vidiOus attention of "demagogues"
in the legislatures. it was easy to
issue a stock dividend of 100 per
cent, cutting the rate of dividends
in half and making the farmer
imagine that charges had all at once
become reasonable again. It is oc-
casiOn of regret, in circles of emf
nent finance, that the farmer has
learned what that operation means
and is not so easily fooled as he
once was
The operation, however, in various
guises of reorganization, consolida-
ton, etc, is still going on. 1t is a
bit more complicated than formerly.
but not essentially different. Labor
is handed slice. and investors get
another; something goes to better
ment; but the great managerial in
terests continue TO fortifv their
own positions and strengthen their
hold on the properties. Today the
country is nearer than would have
been dreamed. five years ago, to
domination of its transportation
system by two men, or two groups
of men. The power that prosperity
IS giving 10 the captains of trans
portation is being employed primar-
fly in STRENGTHENING their control of
the situation.
II is we'll TO pay labor. better
wages; to pay shareholders higher
dividends; to improve properties.
But there is one purpose of the pub
Hes highways superior to these: to
give the public its service at reason
able rates. There is no convincing
evidence of intention to give the
shipper any of the benefits i'm the
form of lower rates. He makes
earnings possible. He represents
the whole community's interest in
railroads. If ne does not soon re-
ceive consideration. it requires no
prophet TO anticipate the time when
d new granger movement for lower
rates will assume a force superior
TO neglect even at the hands Of the
railroads.

TAKING MENTAL MEASURE
OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

The New York Herald's shout that
'Taft's the boy for 1908" has started
Colonel Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal TO thinking, with
this result:
Obviously Mark Antony could not
have had TAFT in mind when. talking
with young Octavius Caesar. he OBJ
served Of Lepidus, their fellow-trium-
