POLITICAL PLAY IN STRIKE.

TATHET7ER the latest move OF the railway
w strikers in Philadelphia leads to settle
ment of the troubles that have harassed that
city for some days, or not the threat OF general
strike will cause McNichol and the other gang
leaders considerable worriment The strikers
and their allies in the Central Labor body have
put the question squarely up to the City Councils
knowing, as the men do, that there is an intimate
connection between the political gang that con4
trolls Philadelphia and the management of the
Rapid Transit Company.
1t would seem that as the gang had behind
them majority reported something like
100000 at the recent city election the leaders OF
the machine would not fear a loss of political
prestige, for had the persons who arc now clam
oring for settlement of the strike voted out Of
power McNicho and his crowd at the recent city
election, in all probability the Transit Company
would not have made war upon their employees
so soon after the election by discharging a large
number Of them for the good of the service"
The organization leaders declare that the
threat OF general strike is merely bluff" but
they cannot be sure about that, and from now
until the leaders decide whether they shall per-
NIT Council TO bring pressure upon the Transit
Company there will be much uneasy speculation.
Wha<, they will ask, if these strike sympathiz-
in Kensington and other districts should get
1t into their heads to vote against the organiza-
tion candidates and to strike blow that would
count? II would be very easy to the top
ping Of the organization and the breaking of its
power.
On the other hand, the labor leaders have
undertaken huge task in attempting to dis
cpne their forces so that they would respond
to a call fora general strike, which if. obeyed
would have most serious consequences.
Altogether it is a game of manipulation inter
estng to watch--the leaders of the labor organ-
cations and experts in political maneuvres who
control the political fate of. Philadelphia. If the
leaders of the labor unions had sufficient control
over their followers to precpitate general
strike or if the politicians thought they had such
power, the outcome of the skirmishing for posi-
ton would not be hard TO predict
In the meantime during the clash Of the con-
tending forces, the onoobers and chief sufferers
are the people in general who wish to see the
difficulty adjusted They have had enough Of
the trouble already, the roting and the outbreaks
which the authorities do not seem able to pre-
vent.

ECONOMY AT WASHINGTON.

TT OWENER much men may differ about
4 L Senator Aldrch as a statesman few
would say that he was not a competent business
man. When the Senator declares that the gov
ernment could be managed for $3oo,ooo,ooo
year less than is being expended his statement
naturally rivets attention. The figures given
by the Rhode Island Senator show that the ex-
penses of the government, could be reduced 80
per cent
Even those critics who are inclined to think
that Mr.. Aldnch's estimate of the waste and
extravaganza is too large think that at least
SIooooo,ooo a year could be saved by the replac-
ing Of obsolete methods with proper manage
mcnt. But the people would want to know
where Senator Aldrch would do hisNpruning 20
save so large figure
The army and navy could be reduced, we
could stop the building of additional battleships,
but such action would call forth protests long
and loud. Postal department expenses might
be reduced, but very little, and the amount spent
for the Improvement OF rivers and harbors and
for new public buildings could of course be cut,
but not without objections. Many people look
upon appropriations for such purposes as the
only direct benefit the government confers upon
the jpeople, and little pork goes long way
towards satisfying
Perhaps the Senator thinks a great reduction
could be made bv dismissing useless employees,
by placing the departments on a more business
like basis, but such reductions would not ap-
proach in the amount of money saved the figures
given by the Senator.
Mr.. Taft has spoken considerably upon the
same line as that followed by Mr. Aldrich. lp.
fact the President has devoted much time and
thought to the reduction of expenses and the
saving OF money, and the fear that new sources
of revenue must be obtained to meet the expenses
OF the government has no doubt spurred the
President to the study of the financial problem
hat confronts the government.

The Modern Farmer.
Kansas city star.

Kansas Clly star.
The modern farmer must plan his CAM
paign years ahead so that he may carry
on such a rotation Of crops that his soil
fertility may be built up while at the same
time he is obtaining the most profitable
yields from his land. lie must know that
corn. for instance, eXhausts the nitro
gen from the soil. while alfalfa consumes
the mineral elements He must plan ac-
cordingly so that his farm shall not be
used up Extreme care must be taken all
this time so that the rotation shall not
put the farm some year into crops that
cannot prohtably be produced. He ought
to keep cost sheets so that he shall know
for example, whether he can buy his corn
more economically than he can produce it,
In deciding on what live stock to main
tain he must have cost figures so that he
may know just the most profitable number
OF sheep or hogs that he can raise. If he
is keeping cows he ought to have data
to enable him TO decide whether il is bet
ter for him TO sell the whole milk and
deplete the fertility Of the soil. or to dis
pose only of the butter. feeding the skim
milk to hogs and building up soil fertility.
Happily agricultural information is now
so abundant and so systematized in the
United states Department of Agriculture
and In the state agricultural colleges and
experiment stations that every farmer
may receive expert advice on any prob
lem of farm management that is likely TO
arise.

Editorial
Opinion
Heredity and Genius.

Washington Herald.
Prof. william Ostwald, an eminent Ger
man scientist. declares that genius is an
accident of nature" He denies that great
talent or conspicuous ability is hereditary
at least. in any marked or conclusive de-
gree.
The truth is. genius is term OF very
great elasticity 1t Is relative, and so IL
means one thing here and another thing
yonder One man is a genius at figures,
another at writing. another at mechanical
work. another at picking pockets. II it
means aptness It is the handmaiden Of
practice, generally; If it means power and
ability successfully applied to the accom-
plishment Of wonderful and helpful things,
it Is the slave Of hard work and rigid at
tention to the same-nothlng more or less.
Genius never accomplished anything
much I'm this world merely because of its
existence herein. II is like a grand piano
pregnant with magnificent possibility in
the hands Of one who has learned through
years of toll and application how to get
the soul-inspirlng music out of it. but a
useless thing, indeed. in the hands of one
who knows il not. Not that the man who
knows It not moreover, may not himself
be abe to get startling results from sub
tie manipulation of a handsaw and a file.
The basic principle underlying both is tho
same-identically Genius is not within the
piano. nor vet within the handsaw and
the file They are instruments through
which II may be made manifest.

land at low wholesale price, improves
it with roadways, townsite, schools
