NOVENA OF ST. ANN.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I have noticed some attention paid
on the part of The Tribune to what is
called the novena of st. Ann, held in the
Church Of St Jean Baptiste. and by this
mornings issue the claim Is made that
yesterday boy who came into the church
lame by application o2 the so-caIled bone
Of ST Ann, left the church cured of his
trouble.
This is a day of investigation. and if
there is any virtue in the application of
this bone there are thousands of people
who would like to benefited What is the
history of this particular bone. and by
what authority is it affirmed that il is of
the wrist Of the mother of Mary? How
has it been preserved since the beginning
of the first century? I think the priest
who claimed that it had effected cures
lacks in candor In not giving the name OF
the boy above mentioned. so that the
claim might be verified by others.

FEWER STATE ELECTIONS.

IN his speech at Eastport, Ne. Presl-
dent Taft though avoiding questions OF
party politics. made the sensible political
suggestion that Maine should abandon
the practice Of holding two separate eiec-
tions-one in September and one in No
vember The election for state officers
occurs in September. and contrary 10 the
general usage Representative in Con-
gress are also chosen in that month,
while in Presidential years Presidential
and Vice-Prasidential electors have to be
chosen two months later. That method
involves a duplication OF cost and an un-
due expenditure Of energy IN politics.
since in state which votes ahead of its
associates each party Is anxious to Sc
cure results which viii have a moral eff
feet on the rest of the Union. Mr.. Taft
said that he doubted the value Of q prac-
tice which imposed such an additional
burden and such an additional RESPONSE
bilitv on any commonwealth In that
opinion he is fully sustained by the ex-
perience of other states which have
profited by simplifying their election sys-
tens
In the decade before the Civil War
Pennsylvania held an early fall state
election and its result was supposed 70
foreshadow the outcome Of the Presiden-
tial contest in November. Buchanan's
victory was thus forecast in 1856 and
Lincoln's in 1850 Pennsylvania con
solidated IFS elections after the war and
Ohio and Indiana then became the
pivotal states in national politics.
They chose state officers in October. and
their state campaigns were conducted
with great partisan animosity and with
2 lavish expenditure Of money. In 1880.
when g Democratic state ticket was sue
cessful in Maine at the September cleo
ton. all the resources at the command Of
the Republican and Democratic national
committees were used 70 affect the result
q the October elections in Ohio and Ind
lana The Republicans won in both,
and Garfield's success in November was
clearly indicated. But both states found
the excessive intrusion Of outside infu-
ences TO be unwholesOme and demOraliZ-
Ing and both soon followed Pennsyl-
vania's example in shifting the date Of
;
vember. Oregon is another state which
has given up the duplicate plan. It used
70 choose state officers and Representa-
tives in Congress in June. but the voters
recently ratified a constitutional amend
ment providing for q single November
election.
Maine and Vermont are now the only
two states which do not choose Repre-
sentarives in November A few other
cOmmonwealtns also hold earlier elec-
tions fer state officials-LOuisiana in
MAY. Arkansas in September and Georgia
in October But the tendency of the
times is strongly toward the Consolida-
rion Of elections Ohio and Iowa re-
Gently substituted biennial for annual
I elections. and the people Of Pennsyl-
vania ratified last fall a series Of consti-
tutionaI amendments sanctioning a SINH
/ lar change Maine would do well to act
on Mr. Taft's advice. which reflects the
/ growing popular desire 70 simplify the
machinery of politics

USING OIL IN THE NAVY.

In planning series Of tests Of liquid
fuel on the North Dakota and Delaware
the Navy Department manifests a pro-
gressive spirit Excellent reasons al
ready exist for preferring oil to coal for
the generation of steam on war vessels
The former calls for a smaller force OF
stokers than the latter and makes pos
sible larger radius Of action Besides,
petroleum can be burned without emit
ting much, if any. smoke. No doubt, how
ever. there are several points on which
further information is desira bic, includ-
ing the relative efficiency Of the different
oil burners now in use and the exact
cost of the installation required with
liquid fuel.
Before the United States government
decides to employ oil on large scale on
IT'S war vessels it will probably consider
with care the question of supply Ae-
cording TO Il dispatch TO The Tribune
from Washington. the naval authorities
OF Great Britain regard oil with dimin-
ishing favor because they are uncertain
where they could obtain all that might
be needed n time of war America has
no such reason for hesitation al present

leum than any other in the world. Ia the

COHInERCTAL CoNSERFATIoN.

II is interesting TO observe that Mr..
DENLY, consul general st Vienna, and
Mr.. Dunning, consul at Havre, both pre-
sumabiy experts on the subject, have been
simultaneously dwelling upon the deslr-
ability Of extending our foreign trade
and upon the Indispensable ways and
means of so doing We might add that
it is of peculiar interest to us for the
reason that they both urge precisely the
arguments and prescriptions which have
repeatedly been put forward in these
columns for a number of years.
Mr.. DENLY asserts the necessity Of
meeting the buyers wishes and catering
10 the buyers tastes, no matter what
they may be. and of doing this in minor
as we'll as in major matters. It is not
sufficient to provide wool and cotton when
they are desired. We must carefully

crasies as TO color form Of package, style

cANAnL4N REcLPROCLTY-

In expressing the hope that his aH-
dience contained a number of Canadians
before taking up the subject Of Canadian
reciprocity, ar Eastport, Ne, President
Taft gave evidence Of his appreciation
Of a situation which is widely misunder-
stood. 1t has been said before. but it
cannot he said TOO often. that the United
States is thoroughly in earnest in its
desire for reciprocal trade relations with
Canada. and there has been no President
in recent years who has had the subject
more at heart than Mr.. Taft, Neverthe-
less. all the anxiety in the world on the
part of the United States viii accom-
pIish nothing unless and until it is
shared by Canadians.
Among the Canadians there are two
classes which, in effect, have set their
faces against closer trade relations. One.
which may be termed the Tories, opposes
closer trade relations because of the
fear that closer trade may promote
closer political relations. and thus, in
some underlined way. operate against the
best interests Of the mother country.
There are, undoubtedly. British states
men who share this view. and those who
place obstacles in the way Of reciprocity
know that they enjoy their moral ap-
proval, even if it is not openly expressed.
There is another and perhaps a more
powerful class. composed. Of Canadian
progressives. heartily interested In the
future Of Canada, fully persuaded of the
wisdom of the protective policy and con-
vinced that any letting down Of the bars
would constitute a menace to the manu-
featuring development of the Dominion
Aside from these two classes there re-
main large number who favor reciproc-
ity. but who may not all be able to
resist the ungenerous argument that the
Yankees are trying TO get the best Of
every bargain. The administration ut
Washington is sincerely anxious TO Sc
cure closer trade relations with Canada,
and if the negotiations appointed TO be-
gin next autumn fail il will not be the
fault Of the United States. a fact which
enthusiastic advocates ought to recos-
