against as SHINING.
AS an illustration of the manner
in which possibly President Roosevelt
has been led to exaggerate the import
ance and responsibility of the admin
istration we have but to turn to the
fact that boards of trade and other
commercial bodies over the country
have been asking him to interfere in
the telegraphers' strike, an incident in
the life of the country with which he
has no more to do than he has with
the distribution Of wealth. The reck-
Ilessness with which bodies of people
have formed the habit of turning to
| the chief executive or to the halls of
Legislation for relief from the conse-
quences of their own folly is shown
here in its fullest comprehension and
fought to make some people think and
conclude that less political paternal-
ism would be good thing instead of
more paternalism. The ideal condi-
ton is for the administration to at
tend to its constitutional business, for
the business interests to do business

to observe the old maxim: Live and

FEEDING THE WORLD.

1t looks now as If the spellbinders
next year will be able to talk about
the United States feeding the world,
They have talked about 1t so much
that they would be saddened If the
time should come when such talk
wouldn't have a basis Of fact. 1.-THE
world" Is, 1t appears, going to need
feeding. Hungary's grain crop will not
be more than half as large as last
years, and she will have little or no
wheat or other cereals for export. Rus
ST.. has also reported deficient crops,
and Canada Is still a doubtful quanti-
ty 1t is estimated by experts that the
grain importing countries will need 49,
600, 900 more bushels of wheat than they
did in the 1867 season. How much we
shall have to spare remains to be seen.
The outlook is better than it was ear
ier in the year. Spring wheat shows
some deterioration, but the improve
ment in winter wheat is so consider
able that the net result is an indicated
yield of 6S75OO,OOO bushels, or 100000
bushels more than was promised in
July or June. If the latest estimates
shall be justified by the actual harvest,
the wheat crop will be as large as II
was in 1903 and about 97OOO,O0O short OF
last years yield, The estimates as to
corn and oats are also quite encourag-
ing

LET US NOT WEARYIN VEIL DOING

General H. G. Otis has had expert
ence in the Philippines, and he made
a record there which gave him fame
as "the victor of Caloocan.' So he
may be supposed to know quite a lit
tie about the situation in our islands.
He thinks he does know something
about it, and what he thinks and says
is more encouraging to the anti-im-
perialists than the advocates of con-
tinued benevolence and benef1cence
He says we stand to-day about where
we did when the islands were turned
over to our government We have
sent armies and navies to the islands.
We have attempted to create sanitary
conditions in the cities, to teach the
people the arts of agriculture and
technical trades, to furnish schools for
their children, and in one way or an
other have expended 5000, 100000 for
the benefit of these people, and the re-
suit is as referred to above; about
two per cent. Of the whole population
cares whether they govern themselves
or somebody else does the business
and are utterly Indifferent as to who
shall do it. Our people Nhave gone
down there with the intention of open
ing industrial enterprises and estab-
fishing business in one way or anoth-
err. They meet the same discourage
ing conditions that confront the army
and civilian officers. Generally they
return disheartened and unable to see
any hope of Improvement during the
present generation. AS it was when
the islands were turned over by Spain
to us, so it is to-day. The American
officials, whether of the army, the
navy or the civil government, who
know most about the conditions and
prospects of the Philippine people, are
to-day as unprepared to outline any
plan for the future management Of
affairs in the Philippines as they were
at the beginning. From the president
to the private soldier, or sailor, or the
business man from America, who has
visited the islands, there is probably
no one who would be bold enough to
risk a conjecture whether we should

C4N BE AB4TED.

New Haven isn't as gloomy as
Pittsburg or Cleveland. but it has
smoke nuisance of its own. So it
will be interested in the discovery
which is said to have been made at
Cleveland, Ohio, where, by co-opera-
ton between the authorities and the
railroads Surprising" results have
been achieved. Several hundred To-
comotives are constantly busy there.
A device has been found that will
greatly abate smoke and at the same
time not interfere with the operation
of locomotives. 1t consists of a muf-
fle blower at the base of the smoke
stack, steam jets close to the FIRE, and
damper for the admission of air
through the firing door This scheme
is being worked successfully. Ordin-
airy coal is used, it being found i'm
practicable to burn hard coal. The
friedrich arch in use on a western
railroad, which was at first hailed as
the solution of the smoke problem,
has been found to be unsatisfactory.
1t is well enough to know that by
cooperation and some other things
the. smoke nuisance can be abated Let
us bear this fact in mind in New Ha-
ven.

public opinion on its side as respectable
and every way as impressive as any
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union can produce. But this is a case
in which expert opinion should prevail
even over public opinion. The expert
ment of abollshing the canteen under
the supervision of the service, thereby
driving soldiers to the low dives that
always develop about an army post,
has been tried and it has proved a mis-
cradle failure so far as elevating the
morals and habits of the soldiers is

concerned. On the contrary, the change
has been productive of more drunken
ness and disorder than ever before. In
temperance has increased and other
evils incident to the new order of
things have kept it company. This is
the testimony of officers who more than
all the theorists in the country are
interested in the establishment of con-
ditions that will most effectually pro-
mote order and discipline. 1t Is a
curious contradiction of proprieties
that those who know nothing Of those
conditions and who have no RESPONSE
bility for results should be permitted
to dominate practical and palpable
facts with theories that have worked

THE NOTE OF WARNIYG.

The automobile continues to turn
out its daily record of fatal accidents,
the great majority of which can be
charged up to fast driving. No sec
ton of the great country is immune,
nor is sex nor age itself. The wheels
of destruction revolve with terrible ac-
curacy and swiftness, the houses of
mourning multiply in number.
The problem has become the con-
Germ of automobile manufacturers and
manufacturers of automobile supplies.
States, including the State of Connect
cut, have undertaken wisely to sot
Sroed limits and to hedge I'm every
conceivable way the natural cussed-
ness of man under rapid Roadway.
The manners of the road have been
framed with great care but without
certain success. An Indiana statesman
makes the original suggestion that
when arrests are made the machine
be imprisoned for stated period and
with it the car number. Thus the
game is played with sally fatalities

Indifference to life

cumstances that automobile manu-
facturers and manufacturers of auto
mobile supplies undertook to find a
remedy Very large investments
would be jeopardized if in distraction
the States should forbid the machines
to use the streets and highways.

Perhaps another view of monopoly
would be taken by the public in general
if all were convinced, as our con-
tributor apparently is, that monopoly
has brought about reduction in the
prices of many necessaries of life. If

suit as that, 1t might be tolerated. Ger
tain it is that 1t can be tolerated on
no other terms than service of the pub
lie rather than individual greed. A con-
structive view of the trust problem

possibility that monopolistie methods
of production and distribution may be
made to serve the public even more
usefully than they do now.
