MAIL SUBSIDIES.

The failure Of the Mail Subsidy bill is to be
regretted, the more so that It was killed by the
veto power unW1sely allowed In the Senate 20
g single member. Its narrow escape and virtual
defeat IN the House Of Representatives must be
attributed, however. to the persistence In the
Middle West OF a sentiment hostile TO any slim
ulatiOn OF foreign commerce through the revival
OF the American merchant marine Nearly all OF
the Republicans who voted to emasculate and then
so XIII the postal subvention scheme come from
the Mississippi Valley states, and their view
OF the case was well expressed by Mr.. Burton
the other day when he argued that paFticipa-
ton BY the United States in the carrying trade
OF the world was under present conditions out
Of the question. Deep sea commerce was free
and open TO all the nations, be said, and that
nation would have the largest share Of Il which
could carry goods most cheaply. We have i'm
posed handlcaps on ourselves by paying higher
wages to seamen than any other country and
by compelling our navigation companies 70 have
their ships built here at greater cost than they
might be built at abroad. II was, therefore,
better policy. Mr.. Burton and his Middle West
ern colleagues asserted, to content ourselves
with controlling our cOastwise trade ana giving
our deep sea carrying to the lowest foreign
bidder.
This argument was aimed. however, at general
tonnage and subsidy legislation, and whether
and specialized postal subventiOn scheme en-
bodied in the House measure. That measure
had in view objects Of q special character II
aimed to create. for instance, a naval reserve
and training school, and TO that extent the
money 1t appropriated was TO be as truly spent
for the national defence as mOney appropriated
for the maintenance and increase OF the navy.
The navy is at present undermined, and in
case Of war should be embarrassed TO find
trained officers and seamen TO put our fleets on
an efficient way footing The Postal SubVention
BIN created a reserve by enrolling the officers
and men OF the proposed new postal lines and
making the new mail steamers available for
military purposes.
Moreover, the lines to be established were all,
under the House rulings. 20 be American lines

closer connection with our Central and South
American neighbors Toward these countries

commercially, 10 widen present avenues Of in

SIMPLE CUBA.

If anybody wants to be convinced of the diff
ference between North and South let him read
the arguments Of the Cuban planters In favor
of cOckfghting, Il sport suppressed by Governor
General Wood. The plea is that cessation of
cOckfighting means cessation from work. and
hence retardatlon of the islands economic de
velopment, for it appears that the Cuban SO
orders his life as to keep even with the world
and just even. In that sunny cline four days
toll weekly will support family, so that any
industrial efforts on the other three days make
wholly for pleasure. Pleasure is divided by
Cuba into two parts, playing the lottery and
cockightiug. Presumably cigars and gin are
reckoned as stern necessities. Therefore, If
both the lottery wheel and the spurred cockerel
are banished there is incentive to work be
You'd the fourth day of every week and every
body takes seventy-two hour sieSta.
We fear the effect this news may have upon
those who struggle to live and be merry under
Northern skies. 1t is not the four day labor
programme that will corrupt our labOring
classes; it is the discovery of a twopleas-
ure land. Think of it! happy island whose
blessed inhabitants have only two incentives to
accumulate surplus! How pitifully do we
NOrtherners show up in comparison with the
Cubans We imagine ourselves heroic models of
the Simple Life whenever succeed in reduc-
ing the number of our pleasures to twenty-odd.
Our wOrkingmen slave their lives away in order
to pay monthly instalments on pianos oil paint
ings and BazacS complete works In full mo-
rocco. Our youths borrow, beg and steal in
order to Quaff the pleasures of horse racing,
baseball, football, boxing bouts and vaudeville
And thus II goes through every stratum of so
ciety, the number of pleasures increasing with
the bank account and the struggle to discover
new pleasures becoming fiercer at every upward
step.
If the American people grasp the full import
of the Cuban planters argument the island
will soon be flooded with men and women anX-
ious to exchange their complicated tastes for the
simple twin delights of Cuba. Speaking alb
stractly we disapproye of both lotteries and
cock1ghts, but If reduced to choice between
two simple pleasures and n thousand purse
stralning ones we prefer the former. even at
the loss of money and fowls. Anyhow. in n land
where the weather earns a living for every
body the waste of money in lottery tickets is
not serious. And for cockfghts, rather a few
fowl less than few new pleasures.
If Cuba's industries are hampered by the
four day working schedule the island may
more than compensate itself by becoming the
Mecca of the millions surfeited with pleasures

some nations have made reciprocity treaties
with us and thus have secured speeiaI CONNER
cial advantages. 1t does not appear that Japan
has made a treaty dealing with the right OF
her subjects to hold land in this country. Nor
can it Justly be objected that this exclusion
of aliens from the holding of real estate is an
exceptionally narrow or unfriendly policy
Similar laws prevail in some other countries,
notably in Japan itself. where Americans are
not permitted to acquire land. and where the
American Legation itself is and must be on
land which is merely leased. If Americans can
not acquire land in Japan, surely Japan cannot
comDIain IL Japanese are not permitted to ac-
uuire land in America.

another the indications OF the two sets of tests

knots-the Parsons engine in both cases called

DEMOCRATS WILL RETURN ACTION IS CERTAIN Conference Slated Before Aldermen Meet, but Many
 Favor Return.

The meeting of the board of aldermen which will be held this evening will in all Likelihood be an unusual one for 1907, in that the democratic members of the board as well as the republicans will probably be present. The issue between the members of the two par- ties which was decided last week by Judge Robinson has cleared the air, and 1t is confidently believed that there will be a very general attendance to- night. Alderman Allen stated last evening that he expected to be present tonight, and that he had In conversa- ton spoken of the matter with the democrats, all of whom held the same view as himself--that 1t was the only thing to do
