A Devils Advocate.

The Hon. WILLIAM 8. GREENE, Rep
resentative in Congress OF the Thir-
teenth Massachusetts, district, becomes
the devils advocate against one Of the
liveliest Of American statesmen:
Only two things now stand In the way OF JOSEPH
CANNoS's triumphant nomination and election
his age and his profanity. The former cannot be
helped. while the latter should not really count
against him. because 10 is NOT real lreveTenoe bus
merely habit Of speech
Doubtless this Is a Puritan way Of
backing ones friends. What do these
objections Of the DEVILS advocate amount
TO? The argument from age has not a
leg 70 stand on. Mr.. CANNON il in the
pink Of physical and intellectual condi-
ton. There are plenty Of familiar in-
stances of men Of equal or greater age
who have headed ministries or ruled
nations or played commanding parts in
politics and government.
As 20 Mr.. CANNoN's fulminations Of
speech, it Is a convention and formula to
set of his private remarks with language
left over from the army in Flanders. We
are not to suppose on that account that
Uncle JOE varies the curse Of EKNULPHUs
with the pleasantries ofSquire WESTERN.
He has a homely. vigorous, idlomatic
speech. It seems appropriate to him.
Even WASHINGTON, no longer the fault
less monster, was allowed to lace his Ian
guage, at a pinch, with sulphurous and
tormenting flames.

privileges. Does he, thought Be sure

20 be one Of the most extensive copper
enterprises In the world. The Inca Min
ing and Rubber Company is another con-
Germ Of importance and large promise.
There are a number Of smaller American
companies operating in the country, and
there can be no doubt that more COM
panies and more capital will go during
the next few years. Psru's low lying
coast lands yield the products OF the
tropics, and tho valleys and hillsides OF
the elevated inland area yield the prod
ucts Of the temperate zones. Among the
various crops are sugar, cotton, coffee,
rice, tobacco, corn, wheat and barley.
The claim is made that the country is
the motherland OF the potato. Peru's
forests yield rubber in abundance and
an important portion OF the worlds
supply OF coca, the source Of the drug
cocaine. Cattle raising and fruit grow
ing are industries Of endless possibilities.
Peru Is a stOrehouse Of wealth awaiting
development.
The foreign commerce Of a nation is in
most cases a fair indication Of its prog
ress, political and social as well as eco
nomic Measured by that standard,
Peru's progress has been striking. In
1897 her imports were SS,0OO,O 900 and her
exports sl4,OOO,OOO. These are very low
figures for a country Of Peru's age, area,
population and resources. Since that
year the trade figures have increased
steadily until we find them showing in
1905 for imports $25,OOO,OOO and for
exports SIS, SOC, 900. During this period
American exports to Peru increased from
81, ,O0O, 900 to nearly sS,OO0,O 900, and i'm
ports from Peru increased from 500 900
to nearly s2,5OOrOOO.
Peru wants business with the United
States and wants American capital
in the development Of its resources.
The abundant opportunities open to
enterprise, the ever growing assurance
of political stability, and the progress
made on the Isthmian Canal, alike lead
10 a day not far distant when Peru will
become a factor of high Importance in
the commerce Of the world.

Servants.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-.Str. In regard TO
the question Of servants allow me to say that
have a friend. a refned and cultured woman of
middle age. who in times past when in easy cir
cumstances used TO sigh for a woman more or less
Of her temperament who could share the work
with her. She wanted neither a companion nor
servant sho wanted TO DO some one In her own
house and 70 feel sho was having a hand In the
work which was entrusted to her.
A servant is expected TO do ell the work. a com
paniOn none. Obviously. neither Of these could
all tho bill Circumstances have changed. and
she now wants the position she formerly wanted
another woman 10 nIl. She feels the household
is her sphere and she do that work better than
any other She wants to do a days work and 20
home; TO receive a modest remuneration for her
services and be treated as a woman OF her educa-
ton and culture has a right to expect
Ny interest here Is more personal than soclO-
Ogical. but n is surely worth while 10 learn what
tho women who employ help think Of such an
Idea Personally l am not enthusiastic for women
as well men seem 70 want something for nothing z.
In other words, they are like the city In Its treat
ment OF the garbage drivers last summer. Two
dollars and a half day was considered extraya
CANT wa Ees for such work yet the city was threat
sned with epidemic because few hundred men
were all that were found willing to do such work

AOs pull away nom Mr.. ROOSEVELT. The answer

was right. He Is on the same side Of the political

the country's present financial troubles a sure

No one has right to be surprised, per-
haps, except those who remember when
Mr.. TAFT was Judge and not an advo-
cate, when he was himself and not some
body else, when his personality had not
been merged and lost, when his opinions
were his own. There is something
touching and loyal, a quixotism Of ro-
mantle friendship, in this remuneration
OF his own strength by a strong man.
But political leader who disclaims all
intention Of leading must be counted
unfortunate.
Still, Mr. TAFT's closest friends are
pleased with his position; they approve
that notable warfare for the right
which bred a panic. What Mr.. RoosE-
WELT has done is right, and Mr.. TAFT as
+, an emanation and vehicle Of Roosevelt
ism must be cherished by the faithful
No longer do the voices of the wicked or
the tempter cry: Why don't you speak
for yourself, BHL2" Mr.. TAFT has moth
ing to say for himself.

The acquittal Of GEORGE A. PETTIBoNE
of the Western Federation Of Miners,
who had been on trial in Boise City, Idaho,
charged with completely in the murder
Of Ex-Governor FRANK STEUNENBERo,
and the decision Of the State to drop the
case against CHARLES A. MoYER for the
same crime end the effort to punish the
leaders of the Federation for this offence
The allegation OF the State was that Mr.
STEUNENBUR0 was condemned to death
by the officers OF the Federation because
Of his opposition to it and its methods.
He was killed by bomb made and put
in place by HARRY ORCHARD, who con-
fessed his part in the crime and who
declared that in killing Mr.. STEUNEN-
BERG he acted as the agent of PETIT
BONE, MoYER and WILLIAM d. HAYWOOD,
high officers Of the Federation.
The frst Of this trio to be put on trial
was HAYWOOD, whose arraignment at
tracted attention all over the world.
Labor agitators and Socialists declared
that he was to be -railroaded" to punish
ment. The independence Of the judi
ciary was impugned, and it was charged
freely that HAYWOOD had been con-
demned in advance. After a long trial
in which ORCHARD told his astounding
tale Of crime and bloodshed, the presiding
Judge delivered a charge to the jury
which made any verdict except one of
acquittal improbable, if not impossible
HAYWOOD was found mot guilty" in ac-
cOrdance with this charge. These incl
dents made the prophecies of unfair
treatment in which the friends of HAY
WOOD had indulged so freely seem ridicu-
lous. PETTIBONE's trial, at which much
Of the evidence used against HAYWOOD
was repeated, has made little stir out
side of Idaho. It's outcome only adds
strength to the opinion that il the Idaho
courts are subject to intimidation or in
fluence they do not obey the mine own
ers and other enemies Of the Western
Federation of Miners.
MoYER, HAYWOOD and PETTIBoNE are
the men President ROOSEVELT called -un-
desirable citizens" prior to the trials Of two
of them. Their friends affected to be-
lieve that this Presidential opinion would
prejudice their case mfavorably. Yet
the men summoned for service on the
jury agreed that the Presidents words
had not affected their minds deeply
The result of the trials and the decision
of the State to drop the prosecution OF
MoYER show plainly how unnecessary
was the excitement that filed the streets
| with anti-capitalist processiOns and a
part Of the press with fiery outgivings
in the atter part Of 1908 and the early
months of 1907.

From the Philadelphia N0rth AnlereaH
Harry Fletcher Kenney. former superintendent
OF the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company, who Is credited with having
saved the life of President Lincoln when there was
a plan foot TO ASsaSslnate him In this city, Is
dying OF pneumonia.
The day after President Lincoln raised the flag
over the state House he started on his journey
back 70 Washington. Rumors of threats to kill Mr.
Lincoln had been rife for several weeks previous
and extra precautions were taken TO prevent any
injury to him
When all was ready for the train bearing Mr..
Lincoln 10 start, Kenney ordered the telegraph
wires between this city and Washington cut so
that no communication could be had between the
wOuld-be murderers
Then. suspecting that possibly the engineer OF
the train which was to carry the President might
be In league with the Assassins. Mr.. Kenney called
him into his once. He told the engineer that the
nrst coach contained a number OF important State
papers. which were to be delivered intact al Wash
inEton. and ordered him 70 that no one entered
the car.
This precautlon was taken. and when washington
was reached out stepped Mr.. Lincoln frOm the
nrst coach. In q few minutes he was safe in the
White House.
