Modifying Warfare at Sea.


England keeps insisting that she
doesn't want to fight and expects the
world to believe it. But she hurries
work on a better and a bigger navy.
Perhaps the bigger the navy the longer
the peace it will stand for, according
to the new thought. Strangely enough,
England thinks that somebody wants
to tight, and she has taken the initia-
tive In calling a congress at London to
tinker up the rules for the code for
maritime conduct in time of war.
One Of the points left unsettled at
the second Hague conference was the
question Of private property rights at
sea during war. The United States
has held for the past fifty years that
private property at sea should be ex-
empt from capture. Our representa-
tfves brought the question before the
representatives Of other powers at The
Hague, but it received no indorse-
ment. Now England seeks to have all
commerce carried on under a neutral
flag lawful and immune from CAPTURE.
Perhaps it's the English shopkeeper
and not the British lingo who wants
the code made more favorable for
trade at sea-

Our Aeroplanist Abroad,

The French are what may be called
good sports" judging by the treat
ment they accorded to Wilbur Wright
after he had shown them some new
kinks in aerial navigation. France
has been the home Of the balloon and
every sort Of flying machine. The
government has taken a deep interest
In the a1rsh1p for war purposes, but
to the mass Of Frenchmen devoted to
aeronautics the flying machine in any
form is simply another fad for sport,
like the cycle and the horseless car
riage.
1t was a bold step for an American
who was practically an amateur to
assume to teach past masters in aero
nautics how to fly. His venture be-
fore the clubs Of Paris with home
made machine was equivalent to say
ing, "This is very simple thing that
you dignity with the name science"
Then he scared and flew just where
he wanted to. And the Frenchmen
didn't sulk and cry "Foulv' like the
sports" of another nation in the re-
cent Olympic games. They praised
the Yankee winner and gave him a
gold medal to wear, a decoration that
means something, considering that it
is tribute from rivals.

Misfortune and Fraud.

This is the season when tramps and
other seekers of charity throng the
towns. The late panic makes plausi-
bic excuse for hard luck stories, and
1t is noticeable that some ablebodied
oilers remember the reaction of 1907
long after busy people have forgotten
it. A few of the unfortunate ones
who take to the road may be genuine
victims of conditions. There is no
work for them because they haven't
the knack Of today.

are disabled by old age seems to be

forced to work without raising a pro
test from the tender hearted.

The Businesslike Douma.

The uneventful opening Of the Sec
ond session Of the douma at st. Pc
tersburg indicates that the Russian
parliament is established as a part of
the machinery of government and will
take up it's routine business without
spectacular display. While the Rus
sian assembly has less power in state
affairs than the British parliament or
the German reichstag, it's influence is
of Importance to the nation at this
time.
Naturally the Russian assembly has
developed no great leader. Leader
ship in legislation demands talent not
to be fostered in the thinkers closet
nor on the stage of revolutionary ap-
peal and debate. The one great task
Of the Russian parliament is that of
the finances. If capable leader in
this field appears he will not only
sway the nation, but move also the
inert and we'll intrenched forces Of the
autocracy, for it is the money problem
which halts progress in Russia today.

The Dead Cuban Leader.

Estrada Palma did not live to see
his country absolutely free and indie
pendent. He died with the stars and
stripes still floating over Cuba and
United States soldiers keeping guard
over Cuba libre" Palma was a type
Of the genuine South American pa
triot. He had suffered oppression. but
temperament and long period of ex-
lie made him a dreamer rather than a
doer.
But, though Palma died a political
failure on the eve of crisis in his
country's history, his memory is des-
tined to be cherished by the very peo-
pie who rejected his leadership. He
planned we'll, and his efforts were
baked by shrewder men, who were as
interruptions and tricky as he was
loyal and honest. All in all, the pa
hiot roll of the world bears no more
honorable name than that Of Tomas
Estrada Palma.

Farm Wages.

Farmers as class are occasionally
criticised because the rate of wages
prevailing among them isn't higher.
It is said that the reason why their
farms are not as profitable as they
might be is that the pay for help is
not enough to insure good work. AS a
rule, these criticisms come from men
who have always been in contact with
Industrial and commercial life and
have no first hand knowledge of farm
ing problems.
Custom may sometimes govern the
wages paid to farm hands, but farm
er is enough of a business man to
know that he must pay for the kind of
work he wants done. The farmer COM
petes In the labor market, and he also
has to compete in the selling market

and manufacturer compete for trade

IT better farming always meant better

er would be as quick to divide with

farmer can divide only on what he

Houses For Show and For Comfort.
An Englishwoman contributes to the
Manchester Guardian some criticisms
upon quaint and picturesque houses
which are more or less pertinent for
this country. Modern town architec-
ture in America is largely borrowed
from England, and the country is in
clined to initiate the town. The wom-
ans objections to the average house
built to look well on the outside are that
rooms are badly lighted, sweeping is
made extra laborious by floor surfaces
cut up into angles and recesses, steps
In twos or threes in all sorts Of places
to add to the housekeeper's fatigue
and ventilation as faulty as the light
ing.
It has been said of the plain house
built for comfort inside that it 'looks
like dry goods box set on end" The
picturesque house often suggests an
addition built first and a house built
around it piecemeal. Some foreign
models borrowed here originated in
that way. They answered in an age
when house servants were cheap. The
requirement today is a house that can
be readily managed by two women at
the most. It ought to be possible to
get this with an exterior that at least
looks homelike.

Farmers and the Land.

1t has been announced by the con-
servation commission that hardly a
meeting Of farmers organizations this
season failed to pass resolutions in
dorsing the work cut out for the Land
Section Of the commission. A resolu-
ton which passed the farmers ma
tional congress favoring the move
ment for better conservation Of the
natural resources Of the country, "es-
pecially the conserving of the soil," is
cited as typical Of many others.
"Stop wanton waste" is the watch
word Of the workers in the soil, who
constitute about one-third Of the ac-
tive forces of the country. 1t is said
that the future problem of the nation
is the bread supply. No one knows 80
we'll as the man with the hoe how
hard it is to wiring bread from the
soil, and knowing that he is first to
realize the full Importance of saving
all the available soil for food produc-
ton and filling it with a minimum of
waste.

American Horse Breeds.

The data recently issued by the de-
partment of agriculture upon the
breeding of horses in the United
States are timely for the season Of
horse shows. It is stated that the
government animal experts are con-
vinced that breeding in America has
been at fault because effort is largely
concentrated upon speed to the neglect
Of other qualities. The figures given
are instructive. It appears that less
than 10 per cent of the total number
Of standard bred trotters and PAGERS
registered up to 1907 had made stand
ard time or better-that is, 2:3O at the
trot and 2:25 at the pace. Out of
2O6,O15 horses registered up to the
close Of the year only 1,164 had made
as good as 2:10. The defect Of the
tendency to breed for speed is said to
be an inferior horse for general pur-
poses.
The government is now attempting
to develop superior breed of carriage
horses and to revive the we'll nigh ex-
tinct Morgan stock. 1t is believed that
all the strains and breeders needed for
serviceable American horse are to be
found in native stocks and that for
e1gn blood will not be necessary. Good
Morgan specimens are still surviving,
and the aim will be to use this blood
and keep it distinct and at the same
time improve the gait, size and form.

Resources and the Public Good

Resources and the Public Good.
The Iron Trade Review suggests
that the national conservation COM
mission keep in mind the sum total of
all the activities of the millions in this
country who are able to do anything,
while it is planning for economy in
the use Of the natural resources. Says
this paper:
Enthusiasm and ambition are to be COM
mended In all legitimate work, but there
Is sometimes question whether they
may not lead to the detaching Of a NOR
sci larger than can be masticated prop
erly. At any rate, it is painfully evident
that thus far the conservation movement
Is along statistical rather than practical
lines. It may be we'll to learn just what
our resources are, but in the long run it
is more important to find practical means
whereby they can be conserved.
Encouragement to the use of natural
resources In a way which will give the
public the greatest good with the least
depletion is one thing, and general restric-
ton to activity is another thing. The
former Is the line Of action which most
commends itself.
