Baron ROthSchiId'S Warning.

A distinguished member of the
English branch of the house of
Rothschild has been explaining his
fears for the worlds business situa-
ton. He opines that pretty much
the whole world is getting foolish
about its economies, pointing out
that in the United States President
Roosevelt is attacking" 1.-THE rail-
roads, in France they are worrying
over the income tax movement, and
i'm England the socialistic tendency
is marked and prominent. Every
thing looks bad TO the great finan-
cier whose family fortune was
founded by wicked speculation in
British stocks, carried. on by a man
who had the earliest information
about the victory at Waterloo.
Such men as Baron Rothschild are
the ones who by their opposition TO
popular tendencies make conditions
dangerous. 1t would never occur to
Baron RothschiId that the tendency
in which all the world is, as he
points out, united, may be right,
moral, and economically proper. 1t
is ''socialistic" in Great Britain; it
is fighting the railroads in the
United States: it is the effort 20
attack great fortunes in France.
In each of these countries the
people are firmly determined that
the movement shall succeed. The
great financier might have gone on
to point out that Russia, and Ger
many likewise, have their popular
movements against privilege, and
that in every other country there is
the reaching out for something
more nearly equitable and ideal in
economic adjustment.
These things may ultimately in
terfere somewhat with the minority
who represent such accommodations
as those of the house of Rothschild.
These interests viii always see the
portent of widespread disaster in
every popular movement of the sort.
But their warnings viii no more
stop the movement than could the
mandate Of the foolish old king hold
back the tides.
Society ought TO be able 10 count
on the intelligent, wise and sincere
counsel of those whom it has espe-
cialIy favored, when ii is trying 70
better its conditions. Instead it toe
often hears only the misgivings and
warnings of pessimism.

Taking Another Twist.

The Central Freight Association
will file in a day or two a revised
freight classification for its terri
tory. which by changes of their
classification and Withdrawal OF
commodity rates will increase the
charges on 1856 articles and reduce
those on about 200. IT is stated that
the average increase by this inter
esting process is about 6 per cent.
If the Interstate Commerce Com
mission wants to do useful service,
il might set its tariff experts at
work to figure out how much aggre-
gate increase in freight rates has
been accomplished in the last ten
years by this and other processes.
From the day when the rate law
became effective there has been a
steady and uninterrupted upward
movement of rates. Iron and steel,
coal, lumber, grain, almost every
thing has been pushed up. 1t would
be worth while for the country to
learn just what these advances
amount to. and if in a general way
there is good reason for them TO
continue.
Since the new rate law became
effective the advances in rates have
been sufficient to cost shippers mil
lions of dollars against every dollar
saved TO them by the operation OF
that law
The new measure must do some
thing to Justify its existence before
long.

Birds Unbeaten.

When asked what is the swiftest
thing on earth" the average citizen
of nowadays will doubtless answer,
''the 11j-horsepower automobile.
Perhaps it is-"on EARTH" but not
IN the world, by any means
The birds still hold the record for
distance speed. Carrier pigeons have
travelled 800 miles at an average rate
of sixty-three miles an hour, and
100 miles at eighty-fve. OrnitholO-
gists claim for the frigate bird a
speed of 100 miles an hour, long
maintained. Certain wild ducks are
credited with ninety, and hawks can
do better for a time. Man hasn't
yet wrested the records away from
the feathered fellows.
All these things are considered
prayerfully by the aeroplane men
and other inventors and near-inven-
tors of flying machines. Like Darius
Green, they believe that il should
not be admitted that

In Boston.

Strange things have ever happened
in Boston.
Strongly anti-slavery in her sym
pathies. she mobbed William Lloyd
Garrison in 1885. and then, half a
century later, erected a monument TO
him in commonwealth avenue. Even
her interest in the civil war vascil-
lated-as one may believe when he
notes the report of 5000 of the militia
at Boston Common in January, 1862,
the draft riot of 1863, instigated and
led by women. the formation there
of the first regiment of colored
troops. and in the same year the
mob of non-Unionists which at
tempted to seize the armory of the
Eleventh Battery.
Now she is reviving her old spirit
by threatening 10 arrest the fife
and drum at the head of a G. 4. r.
post on its way to memorial
services last Sunday morning. Even
a Boston policeman, it appears
could not bring himself TO take
them 10 the CharIestown station
house, but he did record the
names of the crippled veterans be
fore he would let them pass on tC
church. When the commander OBJ
served the lack of music after the
service-the mild screech of a lone
fife and the tap of a single drum
with their rush of portentous memo
ries for every man in the line-ht
made inquiry and learned of the
policeman's action. WhereupOn, &C
Cording TO the news accounts, "h'
ordered the men to play with tn,
agreement that the post would
stand behind them, but the mel
were so excited and wrought NJ
over the affair that they declined K
comply"
This is a very little thing. L
appears to be nothing more thar
the tactless construction of an ole
rule by an overzeslous police com
missioner. OF course, it sustains nj
serious comparison with the riot:

One Lesson in Dollar Wheat.

Whoever thinks that dollar wheat
means double prosperity for the
farmer does not understand Ameri-
can living conditions Of today. 1t
is doubtful if in the year 1907 this
high selling price means as much
creature comfort and security
against the rainy day as so cent
wheat meant ten years ago. The
explanation is that the farmer, like
those of us who live i'm cities, must
have more to buy no more.
Even if the farmer got all Of the
dollar (Which he DOESN'T he would
find it pretty well checked against
in advance. He does not live on the
produce of his land as his father
did. His is a life measured and
spent in units of currency. His
crops go 10 market. The money
comes home. 1t then goes back to
market, either by mail or by visits
TO town, to purchase clothes as
good as those of most town people;
the same books and papers as are
read in town. the same sugar, coffee,
-four, and house furnishings, and his
children go away to expensive
schools.
Living according to dollars and
cents. therefore, and not according
to bushels and pecls, the farmer is
touched by an increased cost of ne
cessities as quickly as anyone else,
If it be said that he lives better than
his forbears, IL may beanswered that
even so the situation is unchanged
his needs correspond exactly to
those of his town brothers, and
both alike have been paying more
and more, year by year, for a fixed
amount of food, clothing, recrea-
ton. and education.
Behind all this lies a portentous
lesson in economy. The farmer is
coming to realize it. His children
are learning II in the schools. Some
day, and probably soon, they will
awake to its immediate application
to their own lives. When they do
! legislation for classes-whether il
the guise of tariff schedules or sub
sidies-will receive it's quietus foI
generation. That lesson is briefly
this:
That prices which arc maintained
artificially are invariably paid by
the many for the profit of few.

Our Depleted Forests.

Is il pleasant to anyone TO be told
by the Federal forest service that
the timber in the United States is
being cut three times as fast as it
is growing? Can it be satisfactory,
even to those who are responsible
for the slaughter? To be sure we
are doing better nowadays in the
matter of creating forest reserves,
but outside OF them the work of de-
vastation is going on unchecked by
adverse public opinion, save where
the denuding of some cherished
mountain region arousers it to a
species of protest that is as yet in
vain. The unprotected woods, big
and little, are eternally in the teeth
