Canadian Naval Plans.

That advocates of a Canadian navy
have been conducting a thorough and
resourceful campaign is shown by the
announcement that one of the greatest
individual shipbuilders in the world,
with vast yards at Belfast, Ireland, is
to establish itself at a Canadian port.
1t is evident that this move would
never have been undertaken had not
the Dominion government given assur-
ance of naval construction to the firm
in question, and the indications at OF
tawa are that Parliament is to be
urged at it's next session to start the
Canadian navy off with a preliminary
appropriation of $2O,OOO,O0O.
This ambitious project of our neigh
Dor need arous no apprehension
among timid New Englanders or along
the Pacific coast. Canada is too
greatly interested in seducing Ameri-
can tourists into its summer lands and
American settlers into it's agricultural
territory to waste any time in foolish
dreams Of naval competition with the
United States. She has always the
British navy at her back, and she is
merely DESTROYS of ~augmenting that
navy as far as her resources will per-
NIT. 1t is largely a case of helping
mother" Canada is intensely loyal to
the British government, and realizes
that a few modern w%arships flying the
British flag under Canadian auspices,
in both the Atlantic and the Pacific,
will have a standing moral effect and
be a ready asset in time of need.
The Dominion government also has
an eye to the finishing Of the Panama
canal, when a navy on Canadian
shores could be used as a valuable
auxiliary to get quickly from cea to
ocean to aid in looking after Great
Britain's interests, which give promise
Of becoming too burdensome to the
mother country unless her children
give her practical aid. Canada feels
that she has outgrown her depend
ence and is proud to show the world
her independent value as a loyal and
helpful colony.

The Crane Incident.

The request made by Secretary Of
State Knox upon Mr.. Crane for his
resignation as minister to China will
doubtless be promptly complied with,
II the resignation is not already in
hand.
The REIMBURSEMENT by Mr.. Crane of
the Picking post will doubtless re-
move a source Of irritation between
our government and the governments
of China and Japan, and give us an
other opportunity to send a diplomatic
representative to that important sta
ton with promise Of unhampered use
fulness.
Whether the disclosures made by
Mr.. Crane in his unfortunate inter
views we're sufficiently serious TO re-
quire his recall would naturally have
to be determined by Secretary Knox,
who has been charged by the president
with the sole responsibility of the con-
duct of our foreign affairs, and the
secretary has evidently concluded that
this indiscretion called for this sum-
mary action to reassure the o~rientals
who had been wrought up over it.
The Crane incident is one of those un-
happy episodes which occasionally
successful business men unlearned in
politics, into international diplomatists
over night. In theory the man who
can achieve commercial victories, I'M
der stress of active competition, ought
to have cultivated these very quail
ties of conduct and repression indis-
pensable to successful diplomacy. But
though a nan may win industrial dis
tinction in spite of, or because of, an
assertive manner and free indulgence
of speech, the accepted type of man
guard international interests is one
who knows when to keep silent, or,
If he must talk, possesses the engag-
ing art of saying little in many words.
When Mr.. Crane was first called
back to Washington it was given out
that the purpose was merely to re-
ceive additional instructions regarding
the problems confronting us in the far
east, but it speedily transpired that
the real reason was to see whether he
had any adequate explanation for pub
licly divulging views purporting to
outline the intentions Of our govern
ment with reference to certain fea-
lures of recently negotiated Manchu-
rian agreements between China and
Japan. Mr.. Crane occupies a most
unfortunate position and is entitled to
public sympathy. Where our friendly
relations with other countries are at
stake, however, personal considera-
tions do not weigh as heavily as they
otherwise would. 1t is certainly bet
ter for him to retire now than to
make the long journey to his distant
post Of duty only to find himself I'M
acceptable or his mission impossible of
fulhllment.

PERSONAL NOTES.

The polar controversy is now warming
the coy corners Of inside pages.
An Indiana man is suing for divorce be-
cause his wife wakes him every morning
by blowing cigarette smoke in his face.
Adolph o. E~berhart, the successor Of the
late Governor Johnson, is the first re-
publican executive Minnesota has had since
1904.
The National Municipal league has es-
tablished an annual prize Of 500 to be
called the William H. Baldwin prize, to
be given to the author Of the best essay on
the subject connected with municipal gov
eminent.
Autos are credited with power to climb a
tree. Rarely do they hang a Joy rider on a
limb. "A record instance comes from New
YORK, where the police found one Of four
speed maniacs hanging unconscious over a
limb where the busted machine deftly
pitched him.
Mrs. Katherine Scott, wife of the Brit
ish captain who will seek the South pole,
is a talented woman sculptor. She will
go with her husband to New Zealand, the
last civilized spot at which the Scott expe-
dition will touch before striking into the
ice fields for the pole. Mrs. Scott has
medals for exhibits both from Paris and
London.
A member Of the George family in New
Jersey, one John T. George, has progressed
from poverty to wealth, under the trust
system. Until June next, the trust which
gobbled up the business he was connected
with must pay to him a weekly salary at
the rate of $4,000 per annum for doing
work which $40 a week in the
open market. In spite of the fact that I'M
improved land is not sufficiently taxed
George prospers.
The picturesque and luminous descrip-
lions given by DR.. Cook of the golden Wis
ions which haunted his weary sleeps on
the way to the pole have become realities
today. The New York Herald paid him
s2S,oo0 for his story. Lecture receipts run
up into the thousands. In eight cities WIS.,
tied 30 far the crowd to hear him taxed
the capacity of the lecture halls and packed
the tills of the boxoffice. His long diet

be paid a stipulated sum without con-
fict.
One Of the difficulties OF the pro-
posed system is the fixing Of a scale Of
benefit rates, which will tax the ex-
perience and judgment Of the investi-
gators, who are calling to their aid
all the expert assistance available.
The maintenance of the state insur-
ance fund also is bound to be a mat
ter Of perplexity, whether to tax the
costs upon the whole citizenship, upon
employers alone or to tax employers
and employees. II Is argued that IL the
employee is required to contribute
Jointly to the fund he will take
greater pains to safeguard himself
and his fellow workers, but a state in
surance proposition that suggests a
levy upon the insured is sure to arouse
instant hostility among the working
men, who are naturally loyal, whether
insured or uninsured, to the instinct
Of self-preservation.
Wisconsin legislators have taken up
a knotty problem, but 1t is evident
that they will produce a bill that
promises we'll for injured working
men and their heirs. Other states will
watch the result with keen interest,
in the possibility Of adopting similar
legislation.

Brother Charles Bad Break



OF course, The Post can entertain no
objection to any proper effort on the part
OF Mr.. Charles w. Bryan, publisher Of
the Commoner and brother Of Hon. Will
lam J. Bryan, to increase the circulation
Of his newspaper In Texas, but when he
sneerlngly alludes to Texas newspapers
who do not agree with his distinguished
brother as the Corporation press" and at
tempts to place Texas democrats who do
not agree with him in the attitude OF ad-
v~ocating protective duties and a higher
cost Of living. he is, to use plain language,
attempting to secure subscribers under
false pretenses.
The newspapers thus insultingly desig-
mated were not regarded by the Commoner
as the corporation press last year when
they did what they could to bring about
the election Of Mr.. Bryan. The $4,000
which was contributed through The Post
to Mr., Bryan's campaign fund and sent
to the doubtful states was contributed for
the most part by men who do not agree
with Mr.. Bryan's contention for free raw
materials.
The Texas newspapers and Texas demo-
Gratis that are standing by the Texas tariff
plank of 1896 have undergone no change OF
heart in the years which have elapsed since
then, and at that time it did not occur
to any democrat to alluds to them as the
Corporation press" Leaders like Reagan,
Hogg, Culberson, Bailey, Ball and a host
OF others were considered sound demo-
Gratis and capable Of formulating demo-
cratic policies and expounding democratic
