40 Build Up Trade Abrosd.

To Build Up Trade Abroad.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Sir-The proposition of Secretary
Knox, wherein consuls in foreign ports
and places may or shall act as sales
men for American products, seems to
me to GO beyond the proper functions of
what is expected OF the representatives
of any country. While the idea of fur
thering the foreign trade is most praise
worthy, yet the fact remains that the
movement by consuls is untimely. 1t Is
getting the art before the horse.
What is wanted is, as I take 1t, that
the manufacturers Of this country
should employ commercial travellers in
every country OF the world to exploit
their goods. Owing to the rapidly in
~creasing means of communication and
transportation the world is now at our
feet.
There might be fifty to one hundred
men working UP the South American
trade from this country alone. One
good, suave. polished, intelligent and
industrious salesman would be worth O
dozen consuls. Consuls are all right in
their place and can be very useful to
the country they represent.
This country is now at the parting of
the ways. Old ideas of export crops to
maintain the balance of trade are grad
ually disappearing. We can no longer
feed the world. 1t will be hard enough
to feed ourselves. By proper efforts on
the part of our bankers and business
men we will be able to keep our shops
and mills actively in operation the year
round by seeing hat foreign as well
as domestic markets are taken care of.

AMERICAN WHFE-MURDER ABROAD.

eAHE gruesome Crippen tragedy in London has a singular re-
semblance to the Porter Charlton tragedy at the Lake of
Como, in Italy. In both cases the principals and their victims
were Americans, and in each case the husband murdered the wife
and concealed her body. The coincidence is an unfortunate one for
the American name abroad, and its unfavorable aspects are height
ened by the strange conduct of the Washington administration in
the Charlton case and the evident purpose of protecting Charlton
from the penalty of his awful crime. American tourists in Europe
cannot fail to feel the odium cast upon this country. American
tourist couples appearing as strangers in places in Europe will be
looked upon with suspicion as possible Charltons or Crippens, and
what kind of an idea of American criminal justice, as well as of the
value placed upon the life of an American woman, can Europe en-.
terrain if by the act of the American government Porter Charlton
is allowed to 60 free and unwhipt of Justice?

THE DEFEAT OF THE COMMUTER.

DrrAH HE increased Communication rates will now go into operation on
July 90. and the large committing public and the anxious com,
munities# in which they abide can await the results u a ies'
nrely investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission n tue
State Public Utilities Commission. 1t is needless to say that pros
meets of abolition of the increased rates by the Federal commission
ana ~ rsmote r. entertain. Some concession had to be made to the
harassed commuter, SO the future investigation was thrown IN II
will help to let him down. And it seems necessary, also, for sake
of relieving the State government Of the onus OF responsibility
which of course if doesn't do. The lawyers of the State commission,
who arr not commuters, may also see a victory" for the state IN
decision bv the Interstate Commerce Commission assuming Jur1s-
diction in the matter of special rates, but when the commuter Is
having the increase to the railroad company the advantages { MN
of that victory will not be in evidence, however the lawyer may
regard it, The sequel simply proves the justice OF the insistment
that the remedy was to be found in the Legislature, and that BODY,
after having at three successive sessions refused to leg1slate on
rates, was not called into special session because the Governor,
ayowedly. was convinced that the legislative majority would do
nothing. The attitude of the majority members during all the time
of tbe rate agitation was amply confrmatory of the Governors
position.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Just after the i've railroads that run
through New Jersey announced that
they would increase rates for single
trip and Communication tickets to and
from New York, and the commuters
organized and asked Governor Fort to
call a special session of the Legislature
to mend the law so the State Public
Utilities Commission would have power
to fix passenger rates. l predicted In
an article printed in the Rostrum col
umn of the EVENING STAR that Gov
ernor Fort would not the
Legislature; that the Public Utilities
Commission would not and could not
control the railroads in fixing passenger
rates; that the Interstate Commerce.
Commission would not help the COM
muters, and that the railroad people
would. as they have always done, carry
out their plans.
Well. the predictions have come true.
The price of tickets between Newark
and New York have beer increased
from Is to 80 cents. and the commuters
on all the roads will pay an Increase
on and after July 20. Some people
think that when the high service cleo
trio road between Newark and New
York is in operation they may get
some relief. But the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will control the new
road and the price OF fares, and 1t Is
not probable that the company will
make the rates lower than on its main
line. The patrons of that road and the
other railroads will have to pay the
increased rates because the Republican
majority in the last Legislature re-
fused to enact a law giving the State
Public Utilities Commission full power
to regulate steam railroad and trolley
fares in this State. OBSERVER.

The People 5 Rostrum


Is doubled on hot days. Thus this plant
mechanism is taxed to the utmost.
Hot weather. II will be seen then. is
more trying to trees than even to hui
mans. Accordingly. they need help. and
the citizen who takes pride in his tree
and is willing to perform a slight serv-
ice on its behalf may now DO much TO
promote It's welfare and prolons Its
life.
We therefore. appeal to the tree
lovers Of the city, men, ome and
children, to loosen the soil around the
trees, and having done this, keep the
soil loosened and we'll watered. Also
water the tree itself. keeping it well
"wet-down." Such aid will largely
counterfeit the deleterious effects of the
summer heat. One thorough ~drenching
of the soil each week. reaching the
lowest roots. will preserve many a tree
that would otherwise die. We arc wat
ering the trees set out by US this spring.
This. however, includes only a small
percentage of YER young trees. while
the older trees are equally In need of
this attention during the extreme heat
of the summer. "A little help now will
prove most effective and ensure good
returns in cooling and l~ife-g1ving shade.

RO0sEvELTs WESTERN TOUR.

@ OOSEvELTS tour of the West, to begin at Denver late in
I'M August, will be a picturesque performance. After speaking
at certain points he will be due at ST. Paul September 6 to
address the Conservation Congress, and his utterance there will
probably be the most important of his tour. There is no question
that the progress of Roosevelt will be attended by popular demon
STATIONS. for it is in the West that his great popularity lies. 1t is
in the Middle West also that Republican insurgency has its citadels.
There are already signs enough that it will take possession of
Roosevelt as soon as he crosses the Al1eghanies. But at ST. Paul
on September 6 he will be among his conservation followers, at
tended by Clifford Pinchot, and then there is likely to be a deliver
ance that the country will read with interest.

roosevelt Against Fighting.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Theodore Roosevelt, who has beer
for MAN. a an advocate of boxing
and boxing contests, and who never
said a word against p~rize-fghts, has
come out in a signed article printed in
a magazine against prize-fghts and the
exhibitions of the fights. and even
against boxing contests by amateurs.
Well, he has always been a weather
vane, changing his opinions whenever
he thought the people did not agree
with him. When he entered the po-
litical arena in New York State
he worked with liberal Republicans
against the regulars. and In the Legis-
lature his acts made old Republicans
wonder If he was not secretly a Demo-
crat.
But when he wanted to be elected
governor he came out as a shouting
regular to get the support OF the bosses
of the Republican machine. He is
flirting now with the regular Repub-
leans and the insurgents. Nobody
knows whether he is for or against
Taft and the regulars. He will sup

MU71LAToN OF THE SHADE TREES.

NM UTILIZATION of city shade trees is not as common now as it
IWt was a few years ago, thanks to a more enlightened public
sentiment. Newark may be taken as an example. Mayor
HAYNES was the first Mayor to take a resoute stand against shade
tree destruction and mutilation by public utility companies. But
for Mayor Haynes there would be hardly an old shade tree left ON
the west side of Military Park. The butchery Of the fine elms in the
city parks by the street department Of the Board of Works was a
characteristic piece of official vandalism. 1t was stopped by an in
dignant public outcry. There never was any care of the city trees
until the Shade Tree Commission was created, and it is most graft
fying to the Newarker who visits other cities at this time to note
the differences. In small towns long avenues of shade trees have
been ruined by wirestringing corporations, with the consent of
ignorant local authorities. Roselle Park Borough has fine shade
trees and also an antique Shade Tree Commission, which this week
authorized a public service company to cut off the tops of fine trees
and loaned workmen for the purpose. In time this vandalism will
cease, but only when an enlightened people shall take away all
power to mutilate and destroy from official and corporate vandals.

= mpENDLNd PENNSYLVANIA &. 4. WALKoUT

IN WALKOUT by the trainmen and conductors Oh the Pennsyl-
~ yania railroad east Of Pitsburg would be a very serious
proposition for the people and communities along the Penn
sylvania lines in this State, for it would mean an almost complete
tie-up of the system in this State. Many towns have no other rail-
road facilities than those of the Pennsylvania, while in all cities
and towns a cessation of operations on its system would cause
great inconvenience. To the company itself the interruption OF
through travel from the West and South would be the most serious
phase of the strike. But, after all, there is always a door open in
disputes between the Pennsylvania and it's welltrained force of
EMPLOYEES.

WHY TAFT IS A GOLF DEvOTEE.

nORESIDENT TAFTS devotion to golf does not, as many people
liz might assume, proceed from pure love of the game. Mr..
Taft is strongly inclined to corpulency. His weight now is
equal to that of Jefries, who is not blessed with the embonpoint of
the Taft figure. Golf reduces adipose tissue. 1t makes a man travel
miles while exercising and gives him the benefit of the open air to
improve his yigor while he loses superfuous avoirdupois. President
Taft is naturally active. He has been a globetrotter and has filled
positions requiring great expenditure of physical as well as mental
energies His frequent journeys as President are evidence Of his love
of action. But he cannot always be on the go, and adipose tissue
will accumulate in repose. Hence the daily golf.
