BELIEVES ENGLAND'S WAR
SCARE UNFOUNDED.

Andrew Carnegie. as blithe as usual,
has lust landed in New York and has
given his version of certain phases Of
the international situation. He ought
to be qualified to speak, for he was en-
tertained by the King of Italy, the En-
peror of Germany, and the President Of
France. He is not one of those who
see visions of a great European war
ahead. When asked what were the
chances of war Between England and
Germany he said:
England is in a state Of frenzy
wholly uncalled for. Germany has no
idea of any contest except the cOmPe-
tition of commerce"
And Mr.. Carnegie adds that the com
petition of commerce seldom leads to
war. It is to be hoped he is right
about it, but peaee-loving people would
be pleased if there were a little less of
the business of strenuous preparation.
Nor is il true that there is seldom to
be found in the competition of COM
merce cause for war. The facts are
that commercial reasons have been the
ones underlying many Of the great wars
of history.
It is difficult for Americans to IN
derstand the feeling which has been
stirred between the English and the
Germans by commercial rivalry, and By
that warning competition that has re-
suited in recent years in the German
conquest of many markets formerly
held by England. England is sus-
pieious and distrustful Of Germany, and
Germany is distrustful and suspicious
of England It is the diligent tanning
Of the flame of mutual dislike between
these two great nations in speech and
press and utterances of various sort
that is endangering the peace Of Europe.

~ RIENDS OF Secretary Of War
- Jacob McGavock Dickinson, say
there is no doubt he viii be a
candidate for Senator of the United
States to succeed Senator James b.
Frazier. Secretary Dickinson has not
formally entered the field, but he has
given out an interview in Nashville
which everybody CONSTITUTES 10 mean he
is I'm the same frame of mind as BarlHis,
and "is willin'"
He has expressed himself as highly
delighted at the favorable comment of
the press and individuals which men
ton Of his possible candidacy has drawn
forth He says that If he enters the
contest he viii try to avoid tearing open
old sores, and he will appeal for support
to all factions. He says that II 1t
should appear that his candidacy would
be the means of "unifying the present
warning factions i'm the Democratic
party" he would feel it his duty 'to
sink personal inclinations and accept
the situation"
Judge Dickinson is about to build a
home near Nashville on the Franklin
Pike This will establish his residence
permanently and beyond question in
Tennessee. Politicians Of both factions
the Patterson and Carmack wings of the
party, say Judge Dickinson could unite
all factions as no other man in Tennes-
see could,

This will be one of the main objects
of the expedition Prof. David, with
the Shaekelton expedition, brought back
what is believed to be a section of a
fossil pine tree. This suggests wonder
full possibilities as to the past history
of the Antarctic region. It Indicates
that at one time it teemed with life,
perhaps animal as well as vegetable.
Even human life may once have thriv-
ed there, in a day when the race was
young. There viii be work for the
biologist as well as the geologist.
Altogether, it appears likely Captain
Scott viii go to find the southern end
of the earth with one of the most ad-
mirably equipped expeditions possible
to obtain. Worldwide interest will at
tach TO it, and this interest viii be
enhanced rather Than Iessened by the
achievements of DR.. Cook and Com
mander Peary.

cities. The defeat of Francis J. Heney
means that San Francisco will run wide
open and that the city's worst elements
will be in the saddle. Philadelphia re-
jected D. Clarence GibbOney, long leader
of the reform element, Tor district at
torney.
The defeat of Tom johnson in Cleve-
land is to be regretted as meaning
probably the end of anything like a
successful movement to redeem that
city from the grip of the interests that
have now got control of it. Boss Cox
remains triumphant in Cincinnati, de-
spite the pronouncement of President
Taft against him.
The election of Samuel Lewis Shank,
Republican, as mayor of indianapolis is
significant. It points to the continued
control of Indiana by the temperance
forces. Shank began life as driver of
delivery wagon, and his election was
due in no small degree to the efforts Of
Senator Beverage. His election and
the strength shown by the Republicans
in the State means the return of Sen
ator Beverage to the Senate.
The result in Massachusetts, is of
much Importance to the country for
the reason the tariff revision question
entered into it largely. The Republi-
can majority was reduced from last
years 10000 to 5000 That this points
to deep dissatisfaction in Massachu-
sets with the new tariff law cannot
be doubted, and it is an Indication of
the dissatisfaction with this measure
which prevails the country over, but
which in most of the elections had no
occasion or opportunity to express it

''WOMEN, STAY HOME" SAYS
PENNYPACKER.

Many men viii applaud the utter
ances of the former governor of Penn
sylvania, Samuel Whitaker Penny
packer, in his advice to women 70 stay
at hon,e and to study economy.
To women the advice will come as
an incentive to Iidieule or 70 indigna-
ton. They will demand to know by
what right the quaint old governor
prescribes home Imprisonment for them
and lets their husbands foot-loose.
They will ask his warrant for declar-
ing that men shall be the sole judges
of how much money shall be spent in
the home and what shall be purchased.
The governor says;
There is an up-cOuntry saying that
zone woman can throw out OF the
window more than three men can
bring in at the door. Expenditure
should be determined by him or her
who has the earning
Our big stores tempt women TO buy
not only what they need, but what
they think they need. and lead to ex-
travagance. In old days a man hand
ed his wife a 81 or IS or $40 BILL and
that was the limit OF his W1Ie's ex-
DcndituTeS. Nowadays she goes 10
these stores and gets all she wants.
1t appeals TO the upper classes and
extends ali the way down. Those who
have a home ought 20 stay IN IL.
Governor Pennypacker makes the
common mistake OF attempting to
classify all women under one heading.
Because some are extravagant he
would harness and hamper all. Is not
the careful wife of the mechanic as
well fitted to spend the little income
for groceries, home furnishings, and
clothing as her husband? Because some
husbands spend large proportions Of
their wages in home wrecking sprees,
should all married men be classed as
selfish sOts?
The whole problem is too big TO be
decided with the ofThand ease and
coczsureness displayed by the gov
ernor. It is a matter that is up to
the man and the woman IN every
home.

THE RESULTS OF YESTER-
DAYS ELECTIONS.

Highly important public matters
hinge on the results of Tuesdays cleo
tions, though it Is not easy to draw
safe cancellations from them. Fore
most in the public eye was the contest
in New York and the one in Maryland.
In both cases the outcome was not far
from what had been generally antici-
pated-
That Tammany has been administer
ed stunning blow IS clear at first
glance. Judge William J. Gaynor has
been elected mayor OF New York by a
large majority, but Tammany loses
control of the board Of estimate, with
a billion dollars to spend in the next
four years. Moreover, Tammany loses
the district attorneyship, and the rest
Of the Tammany county ticket is de-
feated.
Judge Gaynor Is in many respects an
admirable man, and was never the real
choice OF Tammsny, and, if he lives
up TO his professions, viii give New
York a clean and able administration.
The loss to Tammany of the board Of
estimate and the loss Of the various big
offices are things from which it viii
not soon recover.
II looks ON the face of the returns
as if two men were coming out of the
New York contest much strengthened.
One Is County Chairman Herbert Par
sons, OF the New York county commit
tee, who deserves much credit for the
partial victory against Tammany. The
other is William Randolph Hearst,
without whose aggressive campaigning
Tammany would have retained the
board of estimate.
IN Maryland the Acknowledgement
amendment is again beaten and by an
overwhelming majority. This result is
a cause for satisfaction in many ways
in the first place, it probably ends the
attempts to saddle on the State an
unjust restriction of suffrage In the
second place. it goes far to rescue the
State from the domination of a set OF
machine politicians. Maryland remains
a State in a healthy condition OF
political doubt.
In Virginia Judge Mann is elected
governor and the Democratic State
ticket is elected, but the Republicans
have made gains. II is too early to
tell whether these Republican gains
signify any general weakening Of the
Democratic cause in the South. One
important outcome of the Virginia re
suit viii be that the State will not

the next two years.
Enemies Of reform will hail the re-
suits in Philadelphia, Cleveland Gin
cinnati, and San Francisco. And the
friends Of reform can find little cause
for qualification in the results in these

THE BRITISH ANTARCTIC EX-
petition.

The new British Antarctic expedition
under Captain Scott, which viii be sup
ported by men of great influence and
power, and viii be thoroughly scien-
tific, promises to reveal much concern
ing the southern extremity of the
world Lieutenant Shackelton has
added largely to the sum of our Inowl-
edge of the Antarctic region, but there
is still much to be learned.
What are the chief problems on which
the new expedition is expected to throw
light?
IN the first place, it is not generally
appreciated that at the other end of
the globe there is a continent at least
as large as Europe, the greater part OF
which is not yet explored. The mere
exploration of this offers great oppor-
tunities. Another problem is to get
complete data as to the meteorology of
the Antarctic. When this data is Sc
cured it is expected 10 have an impor-
tant bearing on our understanding Of
the climate and weather of the world.
Moreover, much is yet to be learned
about the magnetic pole.
One of the problems of the utmost
interest TO be worked out in the Ant
arctic region by the t.ained biologists
who viii accompany the party is
whether this ice bound waste was once
covered by animal and vegetable life.

HOCUS POCUS FAILS IN MARY
LAND A SECOND TINE.

The Democratic party in Maryland
has been squelehed a second time. It's
leaders now talk of proposing a dis
enfranehising amendment two years
hence. Whenever those leaders viii
submit a proposal for straight-Out,
honest, educational qualification they
can get it. Until they do that, they
stand a mighty slim chance of getting
it.
All this is plain as the cross on a
ballot. The strange thing is that the
Democratic leaders do not see that by
a straight-out, honest educational test
they viii disenfranchise JUS about as
many ignorant negro votes as by the
hocus pocus of a grandfather clause.

SUPREME COURT MUST rem
DER IMPORTANT DECISION.

The decision of the Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia against
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, and
Frank Morrison, affirming the opinion
of the court below that these men
were guilty of contempt in violating
an Injunction in The Bucks Stove and
Range Company case, puts up to the
Supreme Court of the United States
one of the most important questions
affecting the rights of labor that has
been before that tribunal for many
years.
As Justice Shepard, in his dissenting
opinion views the case, the question is
whether the original injunction limit
ing the rights of free speech and of the
press was properly granted, and this is
the view the friends of organized labor
take of it. However, recalling the rul-
ing of the Supreme Court in the Ship
contempt case, il cannot be said the
prospects for the labor leaders escaping
Jail sentences are of the brightest.
