that the foreign trade Of the twenty
Latin American republics, from Mexico
and Cuba south to Argentina and Chile,
amounts annually to the enormous sum
of sl,sOO,OOO,OOO, and that it is rapidly
growing. The proportions of this trade
speak for themselves.
In selecting Mr.. Dawson to head the
division, Mr. Knox has made a wise
selection. Mr.. Dawson has had many
years of diplomatic experience in Latin
America, and knows the peoples there
thoroughly. It is probable no diplomat
of this country understands the Latin

FIGHTING THE WARFARE OF
UNIVERSAL PEACE.

The report of the fifteenth annual
meeting of the Lake Mohonk confer
enee, recently issued, affords ample
refutation of the charge sometimes
made of weak idealism and unprac-
teal ideas on the part of the men who,
TO use a paradoxical metaphor, are
fighting the warfare of universal pea,e.
One does not associate with idle dreams
such men as James Bryce, WI Ting
fang, Andrew D. White, William 1.
Buchanan, Gen. Horatio c. King, Mich
olas Murray Butler or any other of
dozen or mere of the men who spoke
and worked at this conference. There
is nothing impractical about the sug
gestion that the President of the Unit
ed States call together representatives
of all the powers of the world TO dis
cuss the question of the limitation of
ornaments, or that the President APP
point q commission of eminent men to
study the whole peace question, with
the idea that their report should serve
as basis for the action Of the United
States delegation a. the next Hague
conference, or even with the more am
bilious proposition to create an inter
national court of srbitral justice. The
first two are easy steps on the pathway
TO peace and the last is not an impos-
sible one for the nations of the earth
TO take.
Most Of us at one time or another
are inclined to synpathize with the re
mark of George Bernard Shaw that
Nothing Is ever done in this world I'M
Ill men are prepared TO kill each other
81 Il is not done" But in our soberer
moments we recognize the uplift and
majesty in this movement for universal
peace and grant all praise to the men
who are working to bring it to pass.

A CHOICE LEMON FOR THE
LEMON GROWERS.

The ancient debate about who pays
the duty seems in the way of being
switched to the inquiry, ''Who gets the
dutyf" They are asking that question
with much earnestness out in southern
California.
It will be recalled that the California
fruit raisers presented an earnest ap-
peal for increase of the duty on lemons.
They urged that the Sicihsns grew
lemons with pauper labor, and then
shipped them to the United States by
water. Cslifornisns must pay Ameri-
can wages, and the much more ex-
pensive transportation charges imposed
by the rails. Therefore, if the lemon
of Sicily were not TO drive out the self
respecting Anglo-Saxon lemon of Cali
fOrnis. there must be more protection.
Congress saw the point, because Cali
fornis was in the ''hog combine that
distributed the good things of the tariff
measure-the duty on lemons was
raised one-hslf cent per pound. It
wasn't ali California asked or wanted,
but it was enough to warrant the lemon
growers in great rejoicings. With that
extra half-cent they could make an
honest living, there were pretty sure.
But now comes their great SORROW.
The Southern Pacific railroad, accord
ing 10 dispatches from Los Angeles, has
decided on an increase of the trans
continental rate or lemons, which will
just about absorb that half-cent of addi-
tional duty.
The poor, down-trodden lemon grower
will get whatever small fraction of the
duty the railroad chooses to give him.
1t viii be infnitesimal, according to
the accounts from California, and there
is weeping and crashing of teeth. The
people who expected to suck that half
cents worth of juice are discovering
that their teeth are set on edge by the
sourness, not of their own lemon, but
Of the one the Southern Pacific has
tossed to them.
1t is some little satisfaction to this
newspaper to recall, at this juncture,
that it intimated, when the lemon
lobby was getting in its work at Wash
ington in favor of the higher duty, that
the railroads would likely benefit more
than anybody else by it. It seems they
are 10 get practically, if not quite ali,
the benefit
A tariff for the protection of railway
extortion presents some new phases
worthy Of consideration.

TURKEY WILL
PROBABLY ROOST HIGH.

a new form of trouble is on the trail
of the householder. Just when the
calamitous reports from Chicago of an
other rise Of cents in the price Of beef
steaks had become slightly dulled by
the lapse of a few days time, along
comes word from Rhode Island that
threatens TO interfere with the proper
observance Of Thanksgiving Day.
It appears an epidemic has struck
the turkey AID threatens to obliterate
a large percentage of the turkey family.
In fact, it is said that considerable
part Of the visible supply in turkeys
is already wiped out due 20 this new
visitation. Inasmuch "a turkeys have
been at high price for several years,
especially around about the time folks
want them worst, that is, al Thanks
giving and Christmas, IL looks this year
as if they might roost so high the night
before Thanksgiving Day that it would
take a bank note of unusual length TO
reach up u their place of perch.
Rhode Island, the smallest State in
the Union, is noted chiefly for Senator
Aldrich and its crop of turkeys. It ap-
pears that nearly the whole turkey
herd of the State is in peril from a dis
ease known as the "blackhead Rhode
Island alone sends out about 10000
pounds Of dressed turkeys every year.
Now, such are the ravages of the dis
ease, it has no surplus for export and
barely enough 10 feed the home folk.
tt would not be so bad if the disease
were one that yielded readily TO treat
ment. But it does not. No substance
can be found 10 cope with the germ
that seems 20 cause the malady, and
the most likely looking gobbler is apt
20 strut about one day in lordly pride
and the next day to have been trans
ported hence. More remarkable still,
the mueh-maligned English sparrow is
accused OF being the vehicle for the
bacilli thai sweeps of the turkeys It
is said if the turkeys can be raised in
Enclosures surrounded with netting
through which no sparrow can creep
the disease may be avoided. But this
is expensive business.
It has not yet been learned whether
this visitation will prevent the annual
shipment of a huge turkey from the
farm of Horace Vohs to the White
House. IF so, Thanksgiving Day will
be a barren event for the Presidential
family. In no spirit of otherwise than
solemnitZ We would suggest the Public

UNIVERSITY MEN AND Gov
ERNMENTAL ADMINS
TRATION.

President Taft's selection Of Prof
Henry Crosby Emery, of Yale, to head
the tariff board. emphasizes anew that
the policy of drafting university men
into the great business of govern
mental administration is to be con
tinued. President Roosevelt had
strong prediction for the college pro-
fessors, when they were of his type Of
mind; and Mr.. Taft has shown like
disposition.
The finest example of the university
man working out huge problems of
government in strictly practical way
has been presented by Henry Carter
Adams, in charge of statistics and &C
counts for the Interstate Commerce
Commission since it was founded more
than twenty years ago. DR.. Adams oc-
cupies the chair of political economy
at Michigan University, and is one of
the worlds authorities on governmental
finance, organization, and sdministra-
ton. The great work he has accom-
plished, of turning in the light upon
the transportation problem, of setting
the facts before the people without
comment, but in such simple terms
that comment was unnecessary, has
been the greatest contribution that any
one man has made toward crystallizing
in the public mind clear idea of what
that problem really is.
Your college man used to be assailed
as mere theorist. It is true that the
college thinker is pretty certain to have
theory; but that is no disqualified
ton. Rather, it is the foundation of
his equipment. He is likely to know
how to think, and he commonly has the
courage of the convictions to which his
lucubrations lead him. That combina-
ton, applied to the outworzing of
governmental complexities, is most use
full.
We are given to wondering at the
success and patience with which the
Germans work out their great con-
structive and administrative questions,
in scientiio fashion; and latterly we
have been coming to understand that it
is because they make the universities
and the university men work for the
state in strictly practical manner. 1t
is good sign that we are enlisting
that same kind of intellect for the con
sideration of our own looming prob
lems

KNOX GIVING ATTENTION
TO LATIN AMERICA.

Official announcement is made that
Secretary of State Knox has just Gre
ated a new division in the State De
partment 20 be known as the division
of Lstin-American affairs. 1t is to be
devoted exclusively to Latin-American
minister of the United States to Chile,
has been chosen to take charge of it,
with William I. S. Doyle as his as
fistant.
Secretary Knox is TO be commended
for the action he has taken in creating
this new division. The Importance Of
strengthening the relations of trade and
good will between the United States
and Latin America is great. 1t is one
of the foremost of the problems of our
foreign policy. When Elihu Root was
head Of the State Department the most
important work he did was to make
trip to South America and to various
latin American countries, and in this
and various other ways bring about a
much more friendly feeling toward the
United States on the part of the re-
publics TO the south. many Of which
had always viewed The progress and
expansion of this country with ieaI-
Gus and apprehensive eye.
When Mr.. Knox came into office. the
question was asked whether he would
carry forward this movement to get
on better terms with Latin America.
II appears Mr.. Knox not only intends
to carry the movement forward. but
that he is Strengthening the machinery
of the State Department for the cult
walton Of good relations with South and
Genital America and Mexico. Thus. a
certain permanency win be given to the
work of solving the problems arising
between this country and Latin Amer
lea, and It will 60 forward regardless
of changes in the head of the State
Department
Thinking men foresee in South
America ami Ell Latin America in the
near future one of the worlds greatest
fields of development. The possibilities,
when examined, are found to be almost
boundless. II would be unfortunate if
the United States were to remain in
different to the advantages which may
come from sharing in the trade and
commerce incident to the development
which is certain to come in these south
ern republics. This Is the more true
because there has never been a time
when European nations were giving
closer attention to the increase Of their
prestige and trade with South America.
The natural sympathies of the Latin
American countries incline rather TO the
Old World than TO the United States,
but these are being overcome and can
be turned in this direction if the right
course is taken.
The fact is sometimes overlooked
