Congress Not Consulted.

So far as it goes, it is full-fedged
reciprocity. Germany admits agricul.
tural products and certain chemicals

the thrice-sacred Dngley schedules
and let in at cut rates certain products
of the "pauper labor of "cffete" Ger.

1t is q fuller-hedged reciprocity than

The One Important Fact.

The fact of more importance than
all others in connection with tariff dis.
cussions and industrial subjects, so
far as this country is concerned, is
that 95 per cent. of all the goods made
in American mills and factories and
produced on American farms is sold
direct to home consumers. 1t is this
splendid hC"o market which deserves
first and n.nst consideration in all dis
cussions in any way related to it. Only
five yer cent. of the products of our
country is sold to consumers else
where. Full realization of this fact
will prevent repetition of some absurd
statements which have been made and
some even more absurd movements
which have in recent years been at
empted.-Houghton (Mich) Gazette.

December Is. and as December % is the

practically every available fighting ship

Familiarity with the Straits of Magellan
is not especially a desideratum. so far as
naval officers are concerned: nor is It TO

To conserve Natural Resources

President ROosevelt's call for a con-
ference Of governors TO consider the con-
servation Of natural resources signifies
his desire to secure the adoption bv the
States Of measures analogous with those
which nave been carried into effect bv
the Federal government. The conference

Mr.. Roosevelt has for some time been

METCALF AND PH0NoGRAPH.

washington DiSpAich % the Boston Herald.
Secretary OF the Navy Metcalf IS a man
of action. lie can send the battIe-ship
fleet 20 the Pacific. but under some con-
ditions he puts up a bum" lire Of talk.
In consequence OF which deficiency the
Navy Department has been in an uproar
for several days.
The Secretary month or so ago ap-
preached with great misgving the task
OF preparing his report 20 Congress. The
idea of writing out in long hand every
thing he had to recommend staggered him.
Good stenOgsaphers were scarce. and also
very busy. In this emergency the Cal
ifOrnian conceived the brilliant scheme OF
debating his report 10 a pHonogr3ph-and
letting the department typewriters do the
rest.
No sooner conceived than executed. The

woman.s Rights Again Invaded.

II may be Of interest 90 the gentle
section Of The washington Herald's con
stituency to learn that another ancient
and rarely disputed right of woman has
been ruthlessly set aside by a court pre-
sided over by a mere man. a strict
sense OF public duty, however, impels us
to admit that such is the truth; the
abridgment referred 10 being Of "A par
ticularly distressing nature and of far
reaching Importance and effect.

However great our respect for the laws
and Notwithstanding our deep reverence
for its duly constituted exponents and
executors, we are compelled to dissent
from this opinion. The said particular

a nature as justly to bring II within

Let Everybody Use Banks.

From the Boston Herald
The public should be taught the use OF
checks. and the desirability Of opening !n-
dividual bank accounts on which checks
can be drawn. There IS no reason why
wage-earners and salaried employees
should not be paid by checks. deposit
these checks and draw upon these de-
pOsits by check. to suit their need and
resources. A general practice Of this sort
would encourage thrift. and. at the same
time. familiarize the bulk Of the popula-
ton with the principles Of banking. or
at any rate. with the rudimentary sprin-
Ciples; il would make exchange easier. IA
ciltate circulation. and Soundly extend

business. That this can be done with

MIR. Bryan,s Opportunity.

From the Kansas City Star
II Mr.. Bryan should be the Democratic
nominee on a rational platform. against
a reactionary Republican candidate. he
would finally achieve the victory he has
so long sought. And there are two or
three other Democratic possibilities. any
one Of whom could defeat the strongest
reactionaTy Republican, provided the Dem
ocratic platform should conform 10 the
public demands of the time. There is no
getting away from the alternatives the
people have put up TO the politicians this
time.
The Washington herald., 1907-11-20

OF the United States" These are strong
expressions. but they =ccord well with
the nature of the problem. which affects
the whole material basis of our civiliza-
ton. To the solution OF the problem the
national government has already ad-
dressed itself within the limits which the
Constitution imposes. 1t has established
immense forest reserves, sought TO con-
serve mining resources. Initiated great
reclamation works. protected the public
domain from marauders. and promoted
water transportation facilities. It's policy,
as Mr.. Roosevelt defined It, has been TO
substitute planned and orderly develop
ment OF our resources in the place Of
haphazard striving for immediate profit.
The Federal government. however. is able
to carry forward this policy, save as to
water transportation. only within the
limits Of the public domain; hence the
necessity Of calling on the States for CO.
operation
The conservation of natural resources
affords a field into which the States
might well enter to a much greater ex-
tent than now. with profit TO their peo-
pie. ihere Is no reason why the Slhles
should not establish forest reserves, pre-
vent the wasteful cutting OF timber. or
regulate the use and development Of
mineral and other natural resources. The
new State Of Oklahoma has. we believe
undertaken To conserve its coal mines and
its natural gas supply. In this respect
the latest member Of the Union has
shown more wisdom than some Of our
Oldest Commonwealths. The national gov
ernment is likely 10 be committed before
long TO great schemes Of waterway de-
yelopment that will prove a heavy drain
on its financial resources, so that the
States ought 70 undertake the conserva-
ton OF natural resources within their
jurisdiction at their own expense, where
expense is involved.
