firm grip upon the mind that it is difficult to banish them. For example, man who has the impression that he is beirg tracked by vindictive and relentless foe is not going to sit down and quietly listen to an argument the aim of which is to prove that no such enemy exists, and that the sounds which have caused the panic are the footballs of an approaching friend The militar- ist will listen to no man who attempts to prove that his "perils' are creations of the brain. Indeed, he is exceedingly impatient under contradiction; and, here again, he is like all victims of haliuci- nations. To deny his assumptions or to question his conclusions, is to him both blasphemy and treason, sort of profan- ity, and imbecility worthy of contempt and scorn. He alone stands on founda- tions which cannot be shaken, and other men who do not possess his inside infor- nation, or technical training for dealing with such questions are living in 3 fools paradise. The ferocity with which he attacks all who dare oppose him is the fury of man whose brain is abnormally excited.

MILITARY DELIRIUM
The Obsession that We Are in Danger
 from Foreign Foes


 Charles Jefferson in Atlantic Monthly
 The terror of patient who Is sui fering from mental Arrangement is of- ten pathetic. Surround him with gran ite walls, ten in number, and every wall ten feet thick, and he will still insist that he is unprotected. So it is with the militarist. No nation has ever yet voted appropriations sufficient to quiet his un- easy heart. England's formula of na- val strength has for some time been: The British navy in capital ships must equal the next two strongest navies, plus 10 per cent. But notwithstanding the British navy is today in battle ships and cruisers and torpedo boats almost equal to the next three strongest navies, never has England's security been so precarious, according to her greatest military experts, as today. It has been discovered at the eleventh hour that her mighty navy is no safeguard at all, un- less backed up by a citizen army of at least l,000,O00 men. It was once the aim to protect England against probable combinations against her. The ambition now IS to protect her against all possible combinations. IT. the words Of a high authority in the British army, she must protect herself against not only the dan, gers she has any reason to expect, but also against these which nobody ex. poets.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE
Why American Exporters Do Not Get
 Their Share.

From an address by Representative
 Gustav Kustermann.
 The real trouble is that our merchants and manufacturers do not go after tho trade as the manufacturers of European countries do.
 No agent from Europe ever goes therc to solicit trade without fully under standing the language of the people of those countries, which is Spanish. am informed that agents for American firms not versed in Spanish expect their customers to learn English, so that they may sell them American goods.
 Another failing of the American agent, am told by European agents employed in South America, is that the American agents do not stay long enough to get acquainted with their customers, but are always in hurry and expect an order on tho first day of their arrival
 Still another reason for the failure of the American agent to capture orders is that he expects to have his custo mers select from his samples he carries with him, while the European agent of fers to furnish such styles of merchan- disc as suit the tastes and demands of those countries, even though he does not carry with him the special design de- sired,
 I maintain that trade does not follow the flag, and it is not at ali likely that any more trade could be obtained in South America, even though subsidized ships were ready to transport the goods.
 Get the trade first, and then there will be no difficulty in finding ships that will eagerly seek that business without the prefer of subsidies.

p.oyes of the Now York World, who have, however, been indicted also in the jurisdiction where they are domi- ciled.
 The removal Of the defendants in both cases to the District of Columbia for trial involves legal and constitutional principle which had been regarded by tho press of the country as settled in tho two attempts to bring Charles A. Dana, late editor of the New York Sun, to the District os Columbia on charges of criminal libel. MT. Dana successfully resisted removal in each instance, and his fight for what he thought vital clement in tho constitutionally guaran- teed freedom of the press, namely, the right to trial at the place of actual pub lication, was cordially supported by newspapers generally.
 ''It would be a great limitation upon the freedom of the press in this coun- try,' said Enhu Root, counsel for MT Dana in one of these cases, Ito say that every editor in every city and state is liable to be taken to any part of the earth where his papers may happen to go, and tried over and over again, hundreds of times, perhaps, for single article. How can there be freedom of the press if there exists the arbitrary power to punish all over the length and breadth of this land?" This view was sustained by the judges before whom MT. Dana pleaded his cause, and it so substantially accords with precedent and with the elementary principles of jus tice that its challenge in the recently in itiated proceedings against certain newspapers has excited surprise and ap, prehension.
 We find in the New York Tribune a steadfast supporter of the late and the present administration, a significant ex- precision of opinion that the proceedings in the District of Columbia against the New York World will be dropped and the cause tried in New York We agree with our New York contemporary that they ought to be, and the contemplated process against the publishers of tho Indianapolis News should be abandoned also. We judge this 10 be . very prob able outcome of any examination into the libel proceedings MT. Wickersham may make. The business of haling newspapers to Washington to answer for alleged libel can hardly be a sat isfactory employment for either the president or his attorney general.

MR. TAFT AND THE SOUTH
Comrendation of His Utterances o:
 Negro Appointments

From the Savannah News.
 The elimination of the negro from i'm portant federal offices will be another step in advance, so far as the south is concerned. It is an admission that only the people who own the property, tran sact the business, and pay the taxes, should be considered in the filling of the offices. Heretofore the federal off ces in the south have been regarded as a means of holding the negroes, north and south, in the republican party. If we understand the inaugural address right, they are not to be used in future for any such purpose. The new admin istraticn therefore means that much to the south, and it may mean good deal more. By good deal more we mean that if it is understood that the negro is not to figure in southern politics and isn't to hold offices, there is likely to be strong movement of capital and the best class of immigrants to the southern states. All things considered, therefore, there seems to be reason for saying that the south will be distinct gainer by the change in the administration.

A CONSERVATIVE RATE DECISION

a SONOhhN VALVE Isfh1h D&SSAsSASN
 The interstate commerce commission has distributed joy over the western country by deciding favorably to the city of Spokane its case against the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads, wherein it was sought to se- cure reduction of freight rates on com modities billed from the east. The de cision is one of the most important the commission has ever made, and will have widespread influence if allowed to stand, over the western freight situa- tion. In substance it amounts to dec laration that freight rates ought to be lower, on general principles, where rail road earnings are excessive.
 In reaching this conclusion, however, the commission refused to take an ex- treme ground in determining upon re- duction of rates, and in general the de- cision is not unfavorable to the rail roads, save in the single matter of re- ducirg rates. Several contentious made by the conplainants, relating to alleged stock watering, to excessive valuations of right of way, and to water competi- ton, were disallowed, the commission leaning to the view that railroad capi- talization ought to be accepted as it is, and that no deduction should be made from it because the right of way was originally acquired gratis. The comu1is- sion held that the Great Northern had issued stock 10 it's stockholders at par when it was worth moro could not be considered ip making rates, nor would it mako rates for distributing the con- pany's surplus to the public, although such surplus could be fairly considered as having a bearing on the question of excessive rates. Nor would the commis- sion reduce rates to figure fairly chargeable by the least expensively op- eratsd road, maintaining that road is entitled to fair return under the cir cumstances of its operation. The com mission upheld the present system of making transcontinental rates lower to coast points than to intermediate inter for points on tho ground that it had been forced by water competition.
 As we have said, the commission de- cided that the rates complained of could be reduced because the earnings of the defendant roads were excessive; the Great Northern, for example, having paid in year of adversity-19os- dividend of 7 per cent, with $9,00O, 900 left over. If the roads had not been so prosperous, 1t is fair assumption that the existing rates would have been up- held, and Spokane would not have re- ceived the relief asked for-the enjoy mant of the same freight rates from the east as her rival, Seattle. Thus the de- cigion appears an the whole to be con servative one, indicating that no rate reduction policy will be applied on the theory that railway capital is excessive, or that stock jobbery in the past should be penaized by cutting down railway revenues.

 Mir. Taft evidently recognizes that sectional attempts to bulldoze the south as regards the negro can never do any good, least of all to the negro himself; the new presidents reason no less than his inclination forbid any such course. Surely tho excellent sense and excellent feeling which he shows will not be lest upon southern white men. We cannot entirely agree with him, but all of us who are fair-minded agree with him to great extent, and it will be well for the whole country if we conduct our selves accordingly.
