GARIBALDI AND CRISPI.

The revelations which are reported to
be made in some posthumOusly published
documents of Francisco Crispi appear
to be by no means startling. They do
Lot reverse nor contradict accepted his
tory. but rather reaffirm 1t. The docu
ments show, 1t is said, that Crispi was
the organizer and chief director of the
expedition from Sicily into Naples which
speediIy resulted in the expulsion Of
Rombalino and the annexation Of the
kingdom to the domains Of Victor En-
manuel In that there is nothing start
ling and nothing at all Incompatible
with the long established story Of Carl
baIdi's great achievement.
1t has long been known that Crispi
WAS one of the Thousand of Marsala,
and that he was, after Garibaldi him
self. one Of the foremost members of
that famous expedition Indeed, that
fact has been known ever since those
stirring times, and during Crispi's ca
l,eer az Prime Minister of Italy the fact
of his having been one of the Red Shirts
was no inconsiderable part OF his po-

but had rejected in 1906. These facts
and figures may be taken asa bases Ior
forecasts of the result of the Impending
election. but to the prudent observer
they will appear principally to suggest
the uncertainty Of the outcome we
shall not be kept in uncertainty long,
however. Expedition is the order OF the
day. Parliament was dissolved on Mon
day. On Saturday, only five days later
the polling will begin In London ana the
boroughs. On Wednesday next the dls-
trict boroughs will begin voting. and the
next day the counties will begin ana
the boroughs Will finish voting. The last
day for voting in district boroughs ana
counties will be December II, less than
three weeks from the date Of dissolution.
But long before then we shall probably
be assured Of the result of what Is per-
haps the most momentous general cleo
ton since the first Reform bill was en-
acted.

THE WASTE PROBLEM.

There is no lack of poignancy in the
most interesting spokesman of the rail
roads, Is preaching to the public against
its waste and the attorneys Of the ship
perS before the Interstate Commerce
Commission are pointing back at the
railroads and telling them to eliminate
their waste. But is their management,
which, say certain experts. costs $780,
100000 more year than ii should, pecul-
iarly inefficient? Oh, no. the same ex-
perts are careful to explain; on the con-
trary, it is peculiarly efficient In some
respects and in others its failure is
only that which is characteristic Of all
business. Perhaps these experts Will
not receive any immediate practical at
tention, though Mr.. Brandeis has re-
piled TO the rather absurd offer Of
certain Western railroad presidents by
saving that he will show them free
how to effect certain savings This
may insure still further consideration
of the rather remarkable work which
has been accomplished In the way Of
Guiding the railroads themselves, by
modern methods of organization and Of
dealing with the labor problem.
The incident Is only one illustration
of the extent to which attention is now
being directed to the problem Of
economy. Shall railroad rates be in
creased: Some one Immediately points
out that this Will only aggravate the
disease it aims to cure. Higher rates
will contribute to make the cost of living
still higher, and the advance Of that will
in turn he the occasion for still higher
rates. There is no cure but the prac-
tice of economy. The high cost Of
living? Again economy is thrown up In
the face OF the public. You need not
expect larger crops or the opening Of
new fields of agriculture. There is no
escape but to cut down waste. And ma
tional, state and city governments are
having the necessity of economy and
efficiency pressed upon their considera-
ton just as effectually as is the head Of
Something will come Of all this.
Economy all along the line will not be
effected all of q sudden as a result Of a
mere bewildered recognition Of Its
necessity, but in time the realization
will come that what the country needs
is cheapening Of the cost Of production
by getting rid Of preventabie waste, SO
that wages will buy more. profits meas
ured in their purchasing power will be
more considerable and capital will ac-
cumulate faster and Its use be cheaper.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
MORE FARMERS AND LESS GOLD

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I wish to offer two reasons for the
high cost of living. which means higher
prices for the products Of the SOIL for II
wages are higher 1t IS because the wage
earners have to pay more for the actual
necessaries of living.
The agricultural population OF the states
Of Iowa and Missouri. for which We have
the census figures, is smaller than It was
ten years ago, and these are two of the
greatest agricultural sections of the Union.
Any one familiar with farming also knows
that each farm laborer can attend to only
a certain acreage Of corn. wheat. potatoes,
hay or anything else; consequently the
number of producers has not increased.
and cities. have enormously grown in num-
bers.
Reason number two: I have before me
the reports Of the Director OF the Mint
for the years 1906. 1907 and 1908. according
to which the total worlds production OF
gold In those three years amour ted to
s.. .257, 900, 900. Deducting therefrotn 30 per
cent for gold used In the arts. uhic'l Is the
usual allowance, it leaves about $50, 600
in gold which has gone into circulation
during those three years. And tl2c end is
not yet
The South African gold fields have been
tested six thousand feet below the surface
and rich as ever. Can any reason
able man deny that this enormous increase
of the money in circulation must lessen its
purchasing power?

CARE OF ATHLETES.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent issue OF The Tribune is
q comment from Herbert" referring to
the 'cross-country run at Princeton say
ing that Jones and Berna finished as
strong as lions" etc. I also saw the finish,
and | noted what is not remarked upon
and that was that out of the first twenty
the finish line exhauSted-threw them
selves on the wet. cold ground, clear spent
Every one knows what could and would
happen II these men were allowed to re-
main there. On the football field every
man had a blanket handed him or
wrapped around him after each quarter
but these men found no one to look after
them, no blankets. and SO far as I saw
had no attention whatever. except casually
al some bystander came out of the crowd
To get to the gymnasium meant climbing
up a long. steep bank. which these men
absolutely could not do without help
When they got to the gymnasium they no
doubt did receive every attention, but 1t
seemed to me a cruel lack of provision
for an emergency that must have been
from past experience foreseen I am led
to write this In the hope that 1t may come
to the attention OF those concerned and
help to avoid what might lead 70 most
serious results

vailed that everything must be done
either by the federal government or py
states In their separate individuality.
No doubt many things should thus pe
done. But there is an interesting pos
si5ility of other important and advan-
tageous achievements through interstate
cooperation. Some efforts have been
made. not without profit, to secure lden-
tical legislation among the states. IL
may he no less profitable and actually
more practicable TO seek the desired ENDS
through executive cooperation ana
through interstate treaties At any rate,
the Conference of Governors is TO be re-
Garded with hopeful interest, as de-
velopment of policy which may strength
en- the responsibility and efficiency of
the states without detra citing in the least
from the rightful authority of the ma
ton.

THE HOUSE OF GOVERNORS.

Another meeting Of the governors Of
the states. this time at Louisville points
10 fulfllment Of the suggestion which was
made when the first such conference was
called. at Washington. that there might
be regularly organized a sort Of House
of Governors, which should meet regu-
larry and which should form a new and
useful factor In our governmental sys-
TEN. The seriousness and practicality
with which the movement for such an
organiZs ton is being carried forward
are gratifying. and they encourage the
hope that periodical conferences Of the
governors may materially contribute TO
the solution Of public problems which
now seem vexatious, particularly those
concerned with interstate relations
which ii does not seem altogether de-
slrable TO submit To federal authority
One prime object Of these conferences
is, of course. TO increase uniformity of
policy and action among the states. The
uniformity which is thus secured will
obviously be quite different from that
which is imposed upon the states by
federal authority, and viii be much
more acceptaDle 10 uioSe who are leal-
Gus of state rights. But even where
uniformity is not attained, nor even at
tempted, there is a prospect OF profit in
interchange Of experiences and opinions.
just as there is 10 bankers. or teachers,
or other business or professional men in
their occasional conventions. There Is
probably no state in the Union which
is not capable Of teaching some other
something. and also in turn of being
taught
II seems little strange that the la
tent possibilities Of this system have been
so much neglected. In former years
trea ties were occasionally made between
states, but lately little has been heard
- them. The notion has too much pre-
