Memories of Sef-Sacrifices Are Worth

At banquet of the Illinois Sons of

said: When people cast aside SEN

loyalty they become sordid, and sor-

vice" The general said that the

to revere the memories of the men
who had fought for principle

is needed, however, and the sharpness
of the need has been more manifest in
the last ten years than ever before.
President Taft found it necessary TO
plead for decent treatment for the
army. An underpaid organization for
ten years has been facing death and
disease in tropical countries, has done
it's duty faithfully and its reward has
been the frequent sneer.

it was learned that there is the best

credits the recent report from the war
department that because OF the dis
abilities and difficulties experienced in

were to be no more joint maneuvers

slightest intention of varying from the
plans previously made and followed.
But there will be a modification that

countered in Massachusetts.
The officers of the war department

member not physically able to stand
the strsin viii be allowed to take part
in the maneuvers. Further, only such
state organizations as prove in the
camps OF instruction fit to take part
and competent in their work will be
given the privilege.
This is more sensible course than
that fest announced of abandoning the
joint maneuvers altogether which,
however, was then said to be based
upon the conclusion that the results
were not worth the hardship expert
enced by untitled guardsmen. The eff
feet of the modification will be to
eliminate the physically unfit and to
train or eliminate the incompetent.
The discrimination must tend TO an
improvement of the standard of the
state troops and work for progress all
along the line.

Revivina American Shipping.

President Tafts advocacy Of mild
experiments in the substituting of
American merchant ships has not
awakened very many responsive
thrills. The out-and-out advocates Of
ship subsidies realize that under the
crippling operations of the American
navigation laws strong stimulants are
needed if results are to be gained.
While to make a beginning would give
them hope of large and important
subsidies to come, it is going to be
difficult to convince inland constitu-
encies of receptive congressman that
measures ineffective in themselves are
intrinsically worth while.
There is no doubt at all that the
American flag ought to be restored to
the seas. To say that the high wages
of American shipwrights and Ameri-
can seameh put the American mer-
chant marine at a hopeless disadVan-
tage is easy, but not necessarily accu-
rate Good wages bring superior serv-
ice There is. however, no offset TO
needless expense of materials for
ships
If efforts equal to those put forth
to get subsidies OFT of the national
treasury were directed to overcoming
by wise Legislation the fundamental
causes of the decay of the American
merchant marine it is likely that sub
stantial progress would come without
much delay.
President Taft should consider well
this side OF the question. Since he
announces that he will join in the task
of reviving American shipping he
should not rest content with merely
urging subsidies to a few ship owners
out of the insufficient funds of the

COUNTRVS WEALTH GAINING
Trade Reports Hold Out the Promise
for 1910 of Year CT Uncq%aled
Business.

New York City.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says
Without exception the reports OF
trade both wholesale and retail. in ali
parts of the country are more than
satisfactory and hold out the promise
for 1910 of a year of unequallcd busi-
ness. What this means, expressed i'll
almost inconceivable figures. is that
the United States is now increasing its
wealth at a rate never before achieved.
Neither the high prevailing prices
nor the discussion of disputed eco
nomic policies seem in any way to
shake confidence or check the indus
trial progress.
