Senator STROBE, Of Amherst has revived
in the General Assembly a bill in the in
terest OF this and many other counties Of
the state which is founded on justice. and
has in the past unnecessarily run the
gauntlet OF legislative action. 1t is a bill
dividing out among the counties and cities
through which railroad line may pass the
tax for local purposes levied on the rolling
stock of the road. Under tho statute that
has long prevailed only one community in
the State can collect tax tho rolling
stock OF railroad company: the whole
sum Of tax on all the rolling stock OF the
road goes into its treasury. The rolling
stock, as It's name Implies, is first on one
place on tho road and then another. One
county through which II passes has. on gem
eral principles as much OF a right to re-
ceive tax from it as another. But the pay
ment of this substantial tax is confined to
the town in which the company's shops
are located Mr. StroGe's bill asks that It
beGdivided on an equitable basis among all
counties through which the road passes.

A member of congress arguing
against the bill for two new battle
ships has cited the fact that already
~ per cent of the revenue of the
United States is spent for wars past
or to come. Periodically that was
an argument for the battleships, not
against them. Militarism has defeated
itself, powerful preparation for wal
has proved to be the first step toward
international amity. The Hague tri-
bunal and the navy yards work to one
end. Roosevelt, the arch-apostle of
a big army and great navy, forced the
Portsmouth treaty that restored peace
between Russia and Japan.
A few years ago the fear of a world
wide war in the Balkans disturbed the
big nations. With a common effort
they went to arming themselves for
it. No similar period Of history yer
saw such wholesale preparation for
battle, but the possibility Of wal van
ished when peace was bought with
battleships. So in voting for two in
stead of one or none. as some of the
members advocated, congress is NOV
ing for peace. The two vessels are
to cost $6,OO0,00O, which is the diff
ference between the pension rolls in
the United States for 1909 and 1911,
but should help to save many times
that amount in pensions, to say moth
ing Of the lives those pensions repre-
sent. Our government has paid out in
pensions since its beginning nearly
$4,000, 600, 200.
1t is a strange anomaly that ever
in times of peace the heaviest expense
Of this and other nations is for mill
tarism. On its army alone last year
Germany spent $~19O,OOO.O and
France 816O, 900, 900. To be sure this
argues little for the progress of The
Hague tribunal, when has espoused,
not only the cause of preventing and
settling international disputes, but
that also Of reducing armies and
navies. If any Roadway is ever &C
complished in this the first step must
be by securing an agreement from the
powers to limit their ornaments.

Market Value Of Dignity.

The remark attributed to Frank b.
Kellogg that the government cannot
expect to compete with trusts in pay
ing salaries and that dignity and
honor ought to count as an element
in determining the pay Of federal
judges may be a little ironical, but It
contains a big grain of truth.
The demand for higher salaries for
federal Judges is no different from
that in other private and public po-
%sitions. The one argument of high
cost of living is offered as conclusive
and, while it may be Just to pay these
public servants more, Mr.. Kellogg is
right when he says that dignity and
honor must be computed in the sum
mary. In this country, men have &C
cepted federal judgeships whom salary
could not tempt. The same is true
Of nearly every other office of great
trust within the gift OF the country.
Senator Root ave up a law practice
estimated to yield an annual income of
$500, 900 for a cabinet position then
paying $4,000, and as senator he re-
ceives only $500. Mr.. Kellogg him
self is credited with a desire to rep
resent Minnesota in the senate, show
ing that he holds the value Of official
dignity and honor above other con
s%iderations.
1t would be a dangerous time for
this nation to change our accepted
view of this question. The country,
no more than a state, dare bid for
public servants on the basis of re-
Enumeration, particularly must this be
true with reference to judges who
hold the solemn power of individual
rights in their hands. 1t may be time
to raise the pay Of federal judges
again as a matter of fairness to them,
but 1t is not to be done merely to Off
set the e~xtravagant fees that are ex-
acted by the big corporation lawyers.

Resources and Efficiency.

What really gives warrant for the
conservation of physical is
that 1t does not exclude the conserva-
tion OF national vitality. Guarding for
ests, mines and rivers against fires, &C
cident and pollution is not only pre-
serving property, but protecting life.
Bridling mountain streams for power
reservoirs, creating irrigation systems
in arid or semi-arid sections of the
west, not only makes possible new in
dustries and new homes, but increases
the scope of human comfort and con-
duces to human health and happiness.
Former President Roosevelt we'll
understood the need of SOCIAL improve
ment among the suburban population
before the entire scheme of better
ment could be perfected and so his
country life commission had a real
purpose. This and all the kindred
movements of the last and present ad-
ministrations promulgated for social
uplift have the common effect of
strengthening vitality by educating
against disease. Here again the two
systems of conservation work in har-
mOny, for preventing disease is in
~creasing economic productivity. The
Committee OF One Hundred on Ma
tional Health goes so far as to reduce
this proposition to a financial basis
showing that we lose by death In this
country $1,000, 600, 900 annually, com
putting each life at $1,7OO and each
annual earning for adults at 800.
But campaigns of reform are not
to be based on dollars and cents in
dealing with human life. The simple
law OF mortality is enough to guide in
the conviction that work Of this sort
justifies itself. There is no fixed and
final life limit, Experience shows that
this limit depends on two prime fac.
tors. heredity and hygiene. The com,
bat with tuberculosis and the so-called
social diseases are a direct step toward
the physical upbuilding of the race, Sc
are the laws regulating sanitary con.
ditions of shops and factories where
children as well as men and women
work. Child labor laws bear with
particular emphasis on this phase Of
the question.

The essence Of the scheme for negro
Acknowledgement. which the democrats
are undertaking to apply in Maryland,
is the separation of federal from state
and local elections, and an outright
color qualification to exercise the suf-
frage for state and local government.
The theory upon which the Maryland
disfranchisers have proceeded is that
where the federal constitution pro-
hibits the denial or abridgement of the
right to vote on account Of race, color
or previous condition Of servitude, 1t
refers only to participation in federal
government, and that the federal gov
eminent cannot interfere so long as
the negro retains a nominal right to
vote for elective federal officers.
This would be IN ingenious way to
circumvent and nullify the constitu-
tional prohibition against negro dis
reimbursement II 1t we're feasible, but
there is room to doubt whether in
practice any such sharp distinction
can be made between federal elections
and state elections, although it may
possibly be made between federal cleo
tions and local elections.
We do o choose our presidents by
direct vote, but by an electoral college
composed of members chosen sepa-
rately by the several states. Under
the constitution the color line GER
tainly cannot be drawn to prevent the
negroes from voting for presidential
electors any more than it can be
drawn to prevent them from voting for
members of congress.
United States senators, who must
be regarded as federal officers in the
same class as members of congress,
are likewise elected, 10 by direct
vote, but by an electoral college made
up Of members of the two houses of
the legislature, and the election If a
member of the legislature which is to
choose a United States senator is one
step in the federal election.
In case Of vacancy in the represen-
tation of any state in the senate the
position is filled temporarily by ap-
pointment by the governor, and al
though one degree farther removed,
the election Of the governor who may
appoint a United States senator, or of
a lieutenant governor who may be-
come governor, is likewise a step in
the federal election.
1t is not supposable, therefore, that
the new plan of negro disfranchise-
ment which Maryland has proposed
can be put into effect without first
running the gauntlet Of the courts and
being tested against the requirements
of the federal constitution. II the
Maryland plan should be upheld as
within the rights of the respective
states it would no doubt be seized
upon by other southern states as an
improvement on the grandfather
clause and put ar end to even the SEM
blance of equal manhood suffrage in
all the southern states.

Foreign Missions and World Peace.

Foreign Missions and World Peace.
History records many serious inter
national disputes provoked by foreign
missionaries with more zeal than d.
plomacy, but in late years the foreign
missionary has profited by past mis-
takes. If yesterday his presence
abroad embarrassed his government
in delicate relations, today it helps to
strengthen those relations n pro-
mote amity. The modern missionary,
in the large majority OF cases, is a
man or woman of everyday common
sense, broad enough to comprehend
the peculiar difficulties of the work,
specially trained for it and impressed
with the Importance of avoiding polit-
ical Affiliations.
A few years ~ several American
missionaries were wantonly murdered
in China. Some were women and
their -mistreatment was atrocious. One
had given fourteen years of her life
to work among the Chinese and her
influence was great With the lives
Of the workers, the church and school
buildings we're also destroyed, Here
in the United States a feeling Of re-
sentiment arose that called for finan-
cial restitution. But the church that
had sent these missionaries into the
field interposed. 1--WE are a Christian
nation. W. have sent our representa-
tives over there to teach them n re-
liglon Of tolerance, patience, forbear-
ance; to tell them of One who taught,
Vengeance is mine, I will repay We
cannot afford to deny the Christian
faith to these ignorant people by any
action of revenge" That was the an
swer of the church. China as a ma
tion condemned the murder and pun
ished the murderers, but the innocent
people of China we're not asked to pay
for an injury they could o help.
Many such examples are to be
found In the history OF the Boxer up
rislngs, when the Christian missionary
habitually sacrificed self for interna,
tional peace.
The fact is foreign missions have
become a great, systematic business, to
which the church is applying business
principles. II has established on
these frontiers of civilization schools
and colleges where the natives may
learn, not only the lesson OF salvation,
but the English language and what IT
stands for. There are also the hospl
tails as adjuncts. where the native sick
are cared for. Roberts college at

Philadelphia Bulletin.
Striking proof of the general improve
ment in business is afforded by the figures
showing the condition of the United States
treasury. b.
During March there was an actual sur
plus Of about IS, 5OO,O 900 in the income of the
government over its ordinary disburse-
ments. The treasury deficit, concerning
which so much has been said and written.
now amounts only to a trifle more than
$3.50 900 for the year. At the same date
in 1903 It was more than $6s, 100000.
Whatever its defects, the new tariff has
been %undeniably effective, thus far, as a
revenue producer. Last month 1t brought
into the governments Golfers more than
81, OOO,OOO daily. At the same time, internal
taxes are yielding handsome increases all
around. This changed aspect is, Of course,
primarily due to the fact that American
people are again reaching their normal
pace both in producing goods and in pur-
chasing them.
When the country, broadly speaking, is
prosperous, its material well-being is
promptly reflected in the volume of cash
pouring into the strong-boxes Of Uncle sam.
