THE WORLDS BREAKFAST

An interesting report comes from
Birmingham, England, to the effect that
the Canadian bacon supply has been cut
off, owing to the increased demand for
home consumption, and that England is
now dependent almost entirely upon the
United States for its choice English
breakfast bacon. Ireland and Denmark
are the only European countries that
export hogs and bacon, and the supply
from these sources is very limited. This
leaves upon America the pleasant and
profitable duty Of seeing that the world
does not miss its breakfast.
The latest available statistics from
the Department Of Agriculture, for the
fiscal year 1905, show that the United
States exported 262, 246,635 pounds Of
cured bacon. valued at $25, 42S,951; 2O3,-
45s, 724 pounds of cured hams, valued at
S21. So, 2O4, and sailed and picked hog
meat, valued at $9,412,O34, a total value
of exports in this line Of $56,4O3, 1919. In
addition America exported 44,496 live
hogs, valued at $416,692.
Like seasickness, one subject brings
up another, and the thought of all that
bacon, turning crisp and savory in the
pan, naturally arouses curiosity as to
where the foreigners get their eggs.
They have hens, Of course. but their
output is unequal to the demand and
America in 1906 exported 2,457,s44
dozen of more or less fresh eggs, valued
at $543,3se All Of which furnishes con.
elusive proof that the American hog and
the American hen are the worlds great
est manufacturers OF breakfast food.

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR.

Americans have been accustomed to
look upon Central American revolutions
and French duels as innocent pastimes
that seldom resulted In anything more
serious than goOd-natured stories used
by newspapers TO fiji space In dull
seasons, but the Central American war
now In progress is assuming a more
serious aspect. Some real blood has
been shed, and while the trouble was
originally limited to Honduras and Nj
caragua, indications are that Salvador,
Guatemala and Costa Rico are prepar-
ing to take chips and make it a five
handed game. Complications are ad-
ded by the fact that there are two fac
tions-the ms and the outs-in each of
the Ave republics, and the insurgents
in each country are simply waiting to
see which way the tide OF battle turns
before throwing their strength to the
probable winners.
The crux of the situation lies in the
ambition of President Zelaya Of Near
aqua TO form union or the central
American republics and establish one
stable government TO replace the trou'
ble-breeding prineipalities that are just
big and important enough to support
separate governments. Naturally, Eel
ava is unpopular among his fellow rul'
ers and an effort is being made to unite
them against him. The United States
and Mexico have both declared they
will do nothing toward intervention un
Ill all the parties TO the war are ready
for Il. The decision Is a wise one anC
all this country can do is to occupy th'
position OF a disinterested spectator and
allow the miniature republics to nigh
1t out

CHARLEY TONNES suRRENpER.

Hon. Charles A. Towne is going to
the Philippines for a residence Of sew
eral years, as attorney and representa-
tive of certain financial interests that
have large investments in the island.
The announcement is significant in view
Of Towne's record on the Philippine
question. He is a man Of strong convic-
ton, one of the most eloquent speakers
in the nation, and happiest when in the
very forefront Of an oratorical battle
He contributed more energy and words
to the cause Of silver than any
other living man, with the possible
exception Of Mr.. Bryan, and mourned
over the corpse after the rest Of the fu-
neral party had disbanded. He has
served Minnesota and New York In
congress, and was a United States sen
ator once just long enough to make a
speech in defense Of the sacred ratio.
When the silver issue was removed,
Towne transferred his affections to the
cause Of anti-imperiallsm and, great as

THE THREATENED RAILWAY STRIKE.
Arbitration is seldom wholly salts
factory, as It depends naturally upon
concessions by both parties to a dispute,
yet the entire country win hope earn
estly that this method, or something
equally as effective, win be employed
as a means Of averting the threatened
strike Of railway employees on all the
lines west Of Chicago. News from Chi
cago, where the representatives, Of the
employers and employees are in confer
ence, aided by the advice Of Chairman
Knapp Of the Interstate Commerce com
mission end Charles z. NELL, labor com
missioner of the United states, is most
encouraging The complete understands
ing of the risks which both parties to
the dispute invite by standing too long
for their specific demands has had a
SOLDERING effect, and indications that an
agreement Of some kind will be reached
are most encouraging.
without reference TO the merits OF
the controversy the employers and EN-
ployes both owe duty to the country
in the settlement Of the dispute between
them. A strike at this time would en-
force idleness on the part Of not only
10000 trainmen involved in the dispute,
but probably ten times that number
whose employment depends upon ac-
tivity in the transportation business OF
the country. A strike would do more to
check prosperity than all the croakings
Of prophets Of financial evil who have
Of late been working overtime. With
every merchant in the great west look
ing for goods from the east and every
shipper clamoring for cars to move his
products to the eastern markets, a strike
that would suspend operations on the
railroads Of Chicago would be nothing
less than a national calamity.
Voluntary arbitration is a principle OF
intelligent unionlsm and plan that ap-
peals to the public, The Erdman act
adopted by congress nine years ago, Of
fers a solution of the problem Of pro-
viding the machinery for arbitration In
such cases as that now pending. The
railroad employees have already made
certain concessions and the railway
managers have yielded in some respects.
II this spirit Of concession and concili-
alton can not be enlarged to cover all
the points at issue, the interests of the
public. which would be the greatest suf-
ferer in case Of a strike, should be suf-
fcient inducement to both parties to
the controversy to submit their differ
ences to an arbitration board for final
adjustment. Reason. self-interest and the
public good are all arrayed on the side
Of peace and form potent arguments
for arbitration.
