SOME sEAsONABLE ADVICE.
To Which You Might Probably Lend
a Hardening Ear.
st. Louis Tim

81 LOUIS Times.
Prof. Vladimir Karapetoff, who molds
Cornell undergraduates into electrical en-
gineers. has been handing down to his
class of seniors some excellent advice. He
tells these young men, who are about to go
forth in the world to conquer, TO be sure
to leave school with a clean slate-thRt is,
TO pay all their debts. forgive all their enc
mics, apologize to those on whom they may
have bestowed ~dsspiteful usage and
through these clearing-up processes enter
upon their life campaign with good con-
science.
The distinguished scientist is quite right
in his premises and conclusion. No aspir-
ing young soul should allow the beginning
OF his career to be handicapped with either
obligations or malices IL is in his power to
remove Debt is an octopod which has
s~trangled many who lightly Ventured
within its clutch. Most OF us who are
worth while are not without personal an
tagonisms and bitternesses, but IL IL not
the diplomatic part for him who wishes TO
get on in life to court and cherish enmities.
There is no money in IT," to use that ex-
pressive commercial phrase which weighs
men and manners and matters and things
with such precision.
Much excellent June advice will be ut
tered before this month expires. This is

few accept. Youth knows. One can teu II

New Plan for Dependencies.

President Taft is credited in well
informed circles with favoring a plan
to revise entirely the present admins
trative methods for our outlying de-
tendencies. The existing distribution
places the Philippines under the In
sular Bureau of the War department,
Guam and Samoa under the Navy de
partment and Hawaii, Porto Rico and
Alaska under the Interior department.
Originally there were reasons for this
which, however, no longer exist.
Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico, invlJ-
ing no military oil naval problems,
naturally went to the Interior depart
ment, which had always exercised con
troll over territories; Guam and Sa-
moa to the Navy, because their only
value as naval bases, while the
instruction in the Philippines made
its problems largely military.
with conditions changed since the
acquisition Of these different depend
encies, the president is credited with
concluding that divided authority
should cease. Mr.. Taft is also thought to
be dissatisfied with the governmental
agencies in some of these dependencies
and to hold that a department or
bureau, whose sole duty would be to
administer their affairs would give
much better results. The people In
these dependencies differ so greatly
from each other and also from the
people of the United States proper,
that general laws, such as were applt-
cable to the home territories. are
hardly suited to them. BY reason of
his past duties. Mr.. Taft is admittedly
more capable of judging how best to
deal with these peoples and how best
to accomplish desired results, than any
other man. Knowing from personal
experience the strength and weak
ness of the present system, his ideas
on the subject, when formulated,
should have practically conclusive
weight on congress.

OdAlAulOIG <AAIlSIiCdn,
With the retirement of Lieutenant Gen.
eral Arthur Macarthur the rank of lieu
tenant general in the United States army
ceased to exist. 1t has been deemed to
have filled its fun part and no longer to
have value. The passing of this rank
eliminates a grade of service that might
be revived In wartime, but that in time
Of peace becomes a supernumerary rating.
Some great generals have borne this rank,
and. in view of its place IN the past, the
elimination of the rating seems a bit
sad. To many IT will have no more
Specification, however, than the casting
Of broken bric-a-brac upon the Junk heap.
The end of the lieutenant general class
was fixed by law in 1907. and with the
passing Of General Macarthur from the
active list Major General Leonard Wood
will be the ranking officer Of the army.

Holding Back Products.

Georgia cotton growers have
adopted the wool mems plan of stor-
age warehouses to keep their product
off the market until needed for con-
sumption. No coercion is contem-
plated, but simply affording he
grower means to hold his crop until
the spinner wants it. Financial neces-
sity usually compels planters to dis
pose of their crop as soon as raised,
but the storage of a considerable part
would handicap the Spectator and
tend toward more uniform prices
throughout the year. Like all farm
crops, cotton comes on the market
during a few months of the year, after
which most of it lies unused for
months before the consumer needs it.
The rapid absorption of capital and
the rush to sell depresses the price
and gives the middleman opportunity
to secure control and to manipulate
the market for his WI profit.
The scheme of general holding of
crops to force higher prices is
Utopian, because ownership is too
scattered and the financial necessities
of many producers too pressing. Pro-
viding means for keeping back the SUP
plus until needed, however, is not only
practical, but has always been done,
the only change suggested being in re-
tention of control in the grower with
a diversified ownership instead of con-
centration in spectators hands. The
storage warehouse and loans upon itf
certificates furnish the only escape
from immediate sale to the less pros
porous cotton and wool producer and
his only protection against an over.
sold market.
Those who think the hold-back plaI
a cure-all are doomed to disappoint.
ment. but it may relieve the situation
and at any rate will be a help and not
a hindrance to give the grower steadiei

Count zeppelin's Ions flight In his latest
airship has done more to convince the
skeptcsl tina mar shal ultimately wins
the air as a bird than ALL the successes OF
the a~eroplaRlsts. To the doubters the
aeroplsne is destined TO remain an at
%tractive toy, a charming sight on a fine
day, and a new diversion for the million
aire. But a dirigible machine OF the Yep
pelin IL type, capable Of carrying pas
sengers and freight at the rate Of forty
miles an hour, Is another thing.
That the Germans great aerial trip
ended In an accident temporarily disabling
his vessel may be OF no great conse-
quence. The inventor himself regards II
as merely the result of a tactical error
in maneuvering to descend. AT least IL
does not take away anything from the
real triumph OF his voyage, which proved
beyond a doubt that, under favorable
weather conditions, dirisibles OF this type
can be depended upon for swift flights
through a length Of time chiefly restricted
by the amount OF fuel they can carry.
However. the accident does indicate that
no ship Of the air likely to be built will
be able to Withstand the play OF the
weather. It was caused by a sudden gust
Of wind driving the ship head-on into a
tree. Possibly. had the aerialists not
been so wesried with their long Journey,
the mishap could have been avoided by
skiliful steering. The fact remains, how
ever, that the dirigible responded to the
gust OF wind more readily than to its
helm. and II is difficult to see how this
natural tendency can be overcome. What
would happen to a vessel so sensitive had

brought II to earth as quickly as pos
sible, but the ground beneath him might
have been too rough and wooded for
safe landing, or the force of the elements
might ave struck him before he could
have reached the ground.
The best type of dirigible alrshlp vet
produced is still the sport Of the winds,
and nothing devised by inventive genius
has been able to overcome this. To all
but the enthusiast, blinded by the excess
Of his faith, II must be apparent that
a machine constructed for the purpose
OF navigating the air can only become
really practicable when it is no Longer
