THE LATEST ON STATES RIGHTS
OhiO's Governor Makes n Few Re-
marks on the Subject.
New York Tribune.

WV ASlh 1AAbNhOs
Governor Harmon of Ohio in his insug-
ural address urged the maintenance Of
state rights and said that the chief reason
for their apparent decline was the failure
of the states to exercise them and to do
their full duty toward the changing con-
ditions Of affairs. We must, he said, make
the state governments more broadly useful,
and he added that hope of betterment
sprang from the marked renewal of active
interest in them.
1t will be recalled that some time ago
similar ideas were expressed by the presi-
dent and by Secretary Root. The PROPOSE
tions were made that certain things were
that primarily they might pertain to the
functions of the state governments, but
that the state governments were neglectlng
or refusing to do them and that II the
state governments continued to fail to do
them the federal government would have
to intervene and would be reasonably en-
titled to take that courIe
At that time there were those, OF Mr..
Harmon's school OF politics, who charged
the president with trying to override state
rights. They win do well to consider what
Mr.. Harmon says about 1.-The unsatisfac-
tory character" of the state governments
and the "lack of timely attention from
which they have suffered. 1t is not to be
presumed that rational men will insist upon
making state rights the rights of the dog

CORN OR
New EngIr1nd Talks of Making n
Show of One or Both.
nnnAnn uNrnnanrirh


The New England Homestead has made
the tentative suggestion that a big corn
exposition be held in New England some
time next fall to show the farmers Of this
section what can still be done here in the
cultivation of this native staple. To this
proposition encouraging responses have
come in from presidents Of agricultural
colleges, directors of experiment stations
and prominent farmers. President Butter
field Of the State college favors the idea,
and asks why we cannot combine the corn
exposition and the apple show? Why di-
vide energies?" PreGdent Hopson of the
Connecticut Plant Breeders association is
enthusiastic for it and would ignore every
thing but corn. Corn is king here" he
says, and I believe it is possible with its
increased culture profitably to eliminate a
large part OF the S1l ,OOO,OO o We in Con-
n~ecticut annually pay for western grain"
Such an exposition would be interesting
and perhaps stimulating. Much less corn
is raised in New England than forty or
fifty years ago. That is true of about every
other crop except hay. At the same time
while corn is undoubtedly king, the country
over. this section is one of its weakest
prtncipalities. Its culture involves so much

that competition is not hopeful even with
respect to a supply for home consumption.
though at present prices there is more en-
couragement than usual to undertake its
cultivation on a comparatively extended
scale. The soil is fairly responsive under
good tillage, but over most of the area the
use of machinery in caring for the crop is
not very feasible. and the difficulty In Sc
curing help aggravates the problem. Why
not combine the corn exposition with the
apple show, as President Butterfeild pro-
poses?
With respect to hardly any other crop
is New England so favorably circum-
stanced for competition with any other part
Of the country as IN apple raising. For the
amount OF labor involved no product OF the
farm yields SO profitable a return. For the
most part the apple orchards make their
returns with no labor at all except gather
ing the fruit. In spite OF neglect they
struggle 20 bless their owner. With decent
treatment they would prove q blessing In
deed.

1@a-'
Five members of congress just re-
turned from a trip of inspection of the
Panama canal have gone on record as
being perfectly satisfied that the gov
eminent is pursuing the proper policy
in sticking to the lock canal pattern
and that there is no reason for q
change of plans or for complaint about
the progress of the work.
This report is not conclusive, by
any means, as the congressman are not
engineers and not posted on details of
such enterprises, but it is significant
because four of the party, prior to the
visit, were advocating the sea-level
plan. Having had the details of the
governments plans fully explained to
them by Colonel Goethals, in charge
Of the work, they return converted. Mr..
Taft is going to Panama soon with a
body of expert engineers, whose report
will determine whether any change Is
to be made in the canal plans, but in
the meantime 1t is encouraging to
learn that congressman who were dis
posed to find fault with the conditions
on the isthmus have become convinced,
after personal investigation and in
spection, that the government is going
ahead along the right lines.

TANNING JAPANESE PREJUDICE.

TANNING JAPANESE PREJUDICE.
The anti-Japanese sentiment in Cali
fornia is causing a lot of trouble that
the efforts of both American and Jap
anese statesmen to establish and cul-
tivate friendly relations. Bills have
been introduced in the California legis-
lature f%orbidding the ownership of
land and the attendance at public
schools by Japanese in California and
while the measures have not been
enacted into avs and probably will
not be, the mere fact of their introduce
ton has been accepted in Japan as an
evidence of un~friendliness on the part
of the United States to the Japanese
and to Japan.
The annoying feature is the sp-
parent inability of the japanese to
understand that such state action does
not voice the sentiment of the United
States government. The Japanese, ac-
customed to having all their laws and
DEGREES coming direct from one central
authority, refuse, or at least fail, to
recognize the difference between state
and federal legislation in this country.
Toxic advices show that the opposition
papers are denouncing the government
of Japan for falling into arms of a
nation which at first opportunity not
only shows its %unfriendly spirit, but
even denies equal opportunity to the
Japanese"
The incident serves to direct atten-
ton again to the need of a way to
make national treaties between the
United States and other powers,
supreme within the several states.
Refusal OF our state authorities to
live up to treaty obligations threatens
to hamper the exercise of American in
fuence in Japan for many years.

STUDY OF SENATOR KNOX.
Sal to Possess Two Attributes of
Genius.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
Mr.. Knox has two attributes Of genius.
He has to q marked degree the ability to
get at the heart of a problem and to set
forth simply, lucidly, clearly and in or
Derby array the essentials of an involved,
complicated, e~ntangled and generally mud
died up case or proposition. The pro-
cesses OF his mind are orderly and advance
by well-defined steps from premise to con-
clusion. His intellectuals at work give out
light without heat; a steady, clear, constant
light marred by no sputterings or meteoric
flashes, 1t has been described as a light
'Tn which 1t is easy to read assured inter
probation of law"
Mr.. Knox's other attribute, usually as
cribed to genius, is a certain peevishness
when he comes in contact with minds less
assured in their processes and less capable
than his own. In the senate a certain fas-
tidiousness which is one of his dominating
traits has kept the prospective secretary
Of state out of general debates. He sell
dom takes part in a running cross-fire of
argument. On the lnfFequent occasions of
his speeches they are carefully prepared in
advance and read to the senate. Mr.. Knox
always asks that he be not interrupted in
the course Of his remarks
The personality of the secretary of state

LESSON OF THE TIME.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Do what you like in this practical world,
Provided you don't get found out;
Let your edges Of conscience get very much
curled.
But be careful you don't get found out
Be sure you keep all your appearances
right,
Make everything lovely which shows In
the light,
Which is easy while you're not found
out
A name for strict honesty. rugged and
straight,
A name which nobody finds out,
Be sure most religiously you cultivate,
1t is gold II you're never found out,
Then graft with the rest, but be keener
than they,
Keep straight In the path whence they
~recklessly stray,
That is when folks looks and 1t is in broad
day,
And there's danger of getting found out.
Do zach one you can, and your friends
with your foes,
But don't let the former find out;
And never mind honor-go as the tide goes,
II you know you will not be found out.
Don't stop at a meanness that's hidden
within,
Don't faith to the crude moral ideas pin,
And remember the only objectionable sin,
The one crime, is getting found out.

a Pickwickian Rebuke.
Chicago Post.

SllCdSO 1OSl.
1t will be impossible for this section OF
the United States to take the "rebuke" Of

pears to think that it has administered the
coup de grace to a president whose term
and poweH are fast dying. AS a matter
Of fact it has done nothing more than be-
stow a timid slap upon the wrist of an
extremely live person.
For the house "rebuke" is entirely Pick
wickian. The lower m may sternly

DIPLOMACY AND poUBLB-DEALING.

AND DOUBLE- DhALIhb.
There is wrath in the imperial
household at st. Petersburg and burn
Ing indignation in the palace at Con-
stantinople over the recent annexation
Of the Turkish provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina to Austria, but II
happens that neither Russia nor
Turkey can make any open complaint
or protest of the transaction. This is
due to a little exposition of diplomatic
whipsawing, which is entertainingly in
teresting even to those who do not
care a continental about the relations
Of the powers In the troubled Balkans.
The mixup dates back to the Berlin
congress in 1878. After that treaty,
Russia and Austria-Hungary entered
into some secret agreement about the
conduct of the two powers in Turkey.
1t mas but recently developed that Rus
STA agreed to enter no protest against
Austria's annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, In return for which con-
cesslon Austria agreed to keep hands
of in the row then on between Russia
and Turkey. The two nations and
other powers interested have been
going along for thirty years with the
impression that the integrity of the
Turkish empire was guaranteed, by
the terms of the Berlin agreement,
and It has just been discovered that
Russia and Austria have been engaged
in some secret diplomatic stunts that
would do credit to a short-card expert
In a crooked gambling den.
1t now develops that on the same
day that this agreement was signed,
Austria also made a secret agreement
with Turkey that its occupancy of
Bosnia and Herzegovina would be only
temporary and that Austria would aid
Turkey, in an emergency, in prevent
ing Russia from acquiring Turkish ter
ritory sufficient to furnish the cars
people an outlet through the Persian
gulf to the Indian ocean.
The present foreign minister of
Austria-Hungary justices this dupli-
city by the statement that it was
necessary to pacify the Turkish poten-
tates and allow Austria to occupy
Bosnia and Herzegovina until it could
perfect its plans for the permanent
taking over of those provinces and
making them an integral part Of the
Austrian empire. Add to this honey
comb OF secret diplomatic agreements
the charge that Great Britain was a
party to it by entering into a secret
agreement with Turkey to resist Rus
sian aggression and even the layman
can appreciate the difficulties of the
proposed convention to reafirm the
Berlin agreement. That treaty was
violated both in spirit and letter from
the day 1t was signed and there is nc
reason to believe that any amendment
or reaflrmation of it would not share
the same fate.
