Political and commercial relations
with the countries of Latin America
will be whatever our people see fit
to make them, maintains the New
York Sun. The United States can
win and hold their friendship and
their esteem; and can also win and
hold their trade, now worth $700,000,'
900 a year, and destined soon to pass
the billion dollar mark

Remarks the Milwaukee Journal:
The tip is primarily an expression OF
a feeling of patronizing superiority OF
the man who gives it over to the man
he gives it to. Nobody ever thinks
of giving tip to an equal. 1t is only
to those one considers beneath him
that one dares to offer tips, and he
gives them less in gratitude for ser
vices rendered than in order to in
dulge his own feeling of superiority.
The Pan-American Conference has
agreed en- the "Drago doctrine" ana
will send it to The Hague, where the
International Court of Arbitration will
not adopt it. The doctrine is, in eff
feet, that a nation may not collect the
debts of citizen from another nation
by force. Considering the character
of most international claims, such
law would work little injustice. But
it will not soon have the chance to
work either justice or injustice, says
the New York World. I
The Albany Journal declares an
archism is not yet menace to our
institutions, but it is time to take the
necessary steps effectually to prevent
the possibility of its ever becoming
menace. If more men of prominence
will take up the subject fol- public
discussion, it should not be long be
fore the Congress would feel itseH
impelled to enact a law which would
be in all respects reasonable and con
sistent with American principles.
Admiral Fournier was reported by
the Petit Parisien to have "pronounc'
ed the death sentence of battleships'
as a result of what was learned at the
recent manoeuvres off the French
coast. To him was attributed the re-
mark that a feet worth SOO,0O0.OOc
francs and as big as the British Med
iterranean feet could have been sunk
by ten submarines worth a trihe like
100000 francs. And hence, as you
could buy twenty-five of these weap
ons of the poor, and the brave, foI
the price of one battleship, why nW
begin laying down whole swarms OF
submarines?
According to the Buffalo Courier

Der of miles Travelled per day by these

Three scientific gentlemen have
just announced discoveries which
bear upon three of the most import
ant subjects that could engross the
mind of mantle production of fooo
without cooks, the stimulation of ideas
and the prevention of gray hair
Though widely separated, these sa
wants are really working in common
as is easily perceived by noting the
subtle connection between their dis
coveries, observes the Washington
Post. The abolition of cooks would IN
stantly exhilarate mankind to such ar
extent that genius would flash in all
directions and the sense of renewed
youth would tend to keep the hair un
