The American Leaven.

We think that no American can fail OF
a feeling OF pride and qualification at
reading the article by Mr.. Edward A.
Steiner in the current Review Of Reviews,
embodying the results OF his investiga-
tions as to the influence Of emigrants re-
turning from America to their homes IN
the Old World.
AZ the time when emigration turned
seriously toward the United States from
Hungary and Poland the condition Of the
peasantry had been steadily growing
worse for years. Intemperance and fndo-
.lence had contributed. with other causes,
to their losing their aIlotments Of land;
thrift was becoming unknown, the usurer
had full sway. and the peasant was living
a hand-to-mouth existence on the product
Of more or less uncertain but certainly
Dl-paid daily labor.
One trouble was that the European
.peasant-for the trouble was not confined
by any means to Hungary and Poland
had no incentive, no example, 70 higher
effort. This has been furnished by the
returned emigrant from the United States.
The down-trodden peasant who left his
native soil TO seek a living In our land
has. in many cases. amassed what 10 him
is a moderate fortune. Returning to the
fatherland. he has been quick to see
taught by his American experiences-the
value OF the despised land which, lacking
labor, had been forced onto the market
He bought it and is farming it and is
putting his fellow-peasants to work on il
During the years between 1893 and 1906
the land owned by the peasantry in
creased in some districts as much as 4Os
per cent, and. covering the entire emf
grant-furnishing area In Austria-Hungary
and Poland. the increase Of land held by
the peasantry amounted 10 I7S per cent.
This land was bought, OF course, by
money brought back 10 Europe by return
iEg emigrants who had earned It here
and the effect Of It has been not only to
lend healthy stimulus to agriculture,
but 10 increase thrift and industry BY
force Of example.
Nor has the lesven OF the American ex-
ample stopped here. Il was impossible

Absent Army Officers

The grievous condition which finds
many OF the regiments OF infantry and
cavalry without the ofcers who belong
with those commands has been increased
rather than diminished during the last
few months. This condition was the
reason for a recommendation from the
Secretary OF War at the last session Of
Congress for legislation which would In
crease the commissioned personnel of. the
military establishment by 600 omcers
That number has been withdrawn from
active duty with companies and troops or
as field officers OF infantry ana cavalry
for what is known as detached duty. that
which calls for their services with the
special staff corps, with the militia, with
the military colleges. and so on. The
number OF officers thus detached from
their line duty has steadily increased.
1t is safe TO say that there are more than
500 Of them now who are 30 employed.
This certainly justiaes Congressional re-
lief In a direction and by a means which
win restore TO the infantry and cavalry
the ofhcers who should be with the fight
ing personnel IN time OF peace. that they
may be found there. competent to per-
form their duties. in time Of war. The
prospect Of the scurryfng which viii en-
sue IN q time Of emergency is enlivenIng.

military experts are prompt TO recognize.
There are several regiments which are

Pre.ldent Mar Yet speak.

The President has not apparently

not been sending in tariff messages TO
either branch In his inaugural address

terms. what he thought should be ac-
complished In the matter OF framing a
new tariff 1t may safely be assumed
that he has not changed the opinions
which he expressed at the tine Of taking
up the Executive duties. The final adjust

joint conference-is the occasion when

Senator Simmons and Mr. Brrnn.

Evidently Senator Simmons is not a
close reader OF the Commoner. or fails
fully to grasp the sage utterances OF its
distinguished editor. Mr. Bryan has not
laid down the doctrine that a party
platform is absolutely binding upon party
men. regardless Of individual views.
This IS what he actually said:
"It Is Incumbent upon them 70 show either that
they were elected bcfCre this platform adopted

the platform and gave notice Of their adherence 70

There is nothing radical or extraordi-
nary in this-eertainly nothing 10 warrant

mulgates anew. Indeed. in reply 20 Sen

Senator Penrose adopts this rule in his
attack upon Senator La Toilette The
Wisconsin man IS undeniabIy histrionie.
theatrical He has oddities which make
the thoughtless laugh and the judicious
grieve. But these personal peculiarities
are Of nc public interest, and when Sena-

ponent for his gestures and ahectations,
HIS artificial reticences, and transparent
deceits. he cOnfesses that his logic is not
strong enough 10 meet the arguments OF
the insurgent Republican.
The country Is not greatly interested in
Mr.. La Follette's personal oddities They
