WHY CALLED HOME,

The recall of the Chinese minister,
WI Ting-fang. has created an inter-
est in the possible cause of this sec
ond withdrawal of him. 1t is not un-
der a cloud that he departs this time;
but it is suspected that it is because
he is needed at home to meet the Ja-
panese diplomats and to conduct for
China the Manchurian issues with ia
pan, a service for which he is well
equipped. 1t is alleged that Japan
not only has broken her promise to
withdraw troops which were left in
Manchuria at the close of the war
with Russia, but she is accused of
pouring new forces into the region
on the pretence of their being railroad
guards
China is right in Directing to her
territory being used as an armed camp
by the Japanese. China has nothing
to gain and much to lose in the event
of Japan and Russia resuming hostil-
tiles in the far east as they are sure
to do some day. The japanese are
not likely to quit Manchuria until
China obtains sufficient backing by
the other nations to enable her to
support Chinese rights with force, if
necessary.
Japan should so conduct herself as
to prevent a combination of China
and Russia against her. That might
be too much.

PROSPERITY lN sIeHr.

The business world has found the
peace that it yearned for and those
who are now tbent upon making the
tariff a political issue will find that
all the business interests of the coun-
try are against it. There is no greater
impediment to business than the re-
vision Of tariff-it is necessarily a
halt upon industry.
The country has not got to wait for
the close Of the hot season for evil
dences of industrial Improvement. for
the labor bureaus Of the New England
states are beginning to show that more
employers are calling for help and
fewer workers are calling for places.
A Boston paper points out the fact
that "the greatest improvement is in
the number of persons applying to the
Offices for work, the number for July.
1909, having been but 1907, while a
year ago 1t was 4,570, decrease Of 27.64
per cent. on the other hand, appli-
cations from employers for help num-
bered 1,572 this year, as against 1888
the previous year, an increase of 1893
per cent. The number of persons ap-
piled for by employers shows a gain
of STA per cent, the figures being 1892
for July, 1909, and LAO for July, 1908.
The second largest percentage Of
improvement is shown in the number
OF positions offered by employers
through the free employment offices.
the number having been 3,4s4 last
month, as compared with 2,797 a year
ago. Another great increase is shown
in the number of positions actually
filled as result Of application to the
free employment offices. the figures
being 1,2S7 for July 1908, and 1,497
for July. 1909, an increase of 1882
per cent"
These are general conditions in all
parts of the state-they are the good
promises for the future.
The new tariff bill is as satisfac-
tory as it is possible to make one.
and when business begins to hum. it
will be useless for any faction of the
republican party to attempt to fool
with it. Neither the business of the
country nor the people will approve
Of it.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
They Are Not Heroes.

Since the reason for it's maintenance
is the national defense, the Connecti-
cut National guard is an important in
stitution for the work and welfare of
which many of us, perhaps, lack proper
appreciation. AS matter of military
fact, our state force, in common with
that of the other states, is considerably
superior to the corresponding body in
England, the territorial army, for
which a single theatrical production
and the DOGGY of German invasion has
recently aroused remarkable British
enthusiasm. Toward our own citizen
soldiery the prevailing American atti-
tude is one of tolerance and mild
curiosity. A large percentage of the
young men who form our state force
are giving up their only holiday time
of the year to a tour of military duty
which will have about it none of the
display and hilarity Of an earlier day,
but much of physical exhaustion. sore
feet and general discomfort. They are
not heroes. nor inspired martyrs. The
actuating spirit in most of them is
probably the boyish desire for new SEN
sations. Saturday night will find many
of them regretful and DESTROYS of dis
charge. American.

ADVANCING MERCHANT MARINE.

1t is apparent enough that the AM
erican marine cannot be revived with
out the pecuniary aid Of the govern
ment. The great Spreck1es and Fill
lines Of transports on the Pacific have
had to be abandoned because they
cannot compete with the subsidized
ships of other countries.
Last year James j. Hill announced
| that no steamer would be built to re-
place the one built at Groton on the
Thames and lost off Japan to the
Great Northern. f. H. Hartman, pres
ident of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company, said the construction of Am
erfcan merchant vessels was "mere
patriotic sentiment" The Spreckels
line to Australia and New Zealand
was abandoned.
Those who do not believe in gov
eminent subsidies or their effective
ness will find ii difficult to brush aside
facts like these from Japan:
Ten years ago the mercantile ma
rine of Japan was one-half of one per
cent. of the worlds total tonnage. To-
day it is three per cent. Japan has
been generous in voting subsidies Six
years ago the tonnage of Japanese
vessels plying between ports Of japan
and Vladivostok was $500. of Ger
man vessels, 5000. Now, the Japan
csc tonnage is 2s,145, and the German,
20, 900.
There can be no question that ia
pan has found that subsidies for
ocean carriers pay

CENSUS TAkESG UPON PERMA.
NENT BASIS.

The pfeparation for taking the ma
tlonAi census is now the most import
%nt public affair and is exciting in
tense interest all over the country.
The president is moving carefully and
his determination to obliterate if pos
sobile all politics will find favor with
the people regardless of party lines.
Commenting upon past unreliable
methods of taking the census the Bos-
ton Transcript says
1T is a pity that the Massachusetts
system of census taking cannot be
made applicable to the entire union.
While for the country three hundred
and thirty supervisors are provided
by law, or practically one for each
congressional district, Massachusetts,
with it's fourteen districts, gets along
with one supervisor-to a material
saving for the government-and, what
is still more important, our states Of
flee facilities, headquarters, past rec
ords for comparative purposes, and
other well-oiled machinery of census
taking, are all in readiness for the fed
ersl enumeration. Although the cen
sus office in Washington has been
made permanent, so far as headquar-
tiers and tabulation plant are concern
ed, only in Massachusetts has the ma
chinery of enumeration also through
agencies of the commonwealth, been
put upon an equally permanent basis"
Connecticut, like Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, will get along with on
ly one supervisor instead of having
one for each congressional district,
and it is probable that the time will
come when her bureau of statistics
will be looked to as are the statistical
bureaus of Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, as the dependable agent to ac-
curately conduct this service for the
