New-York tribune., 1910-06-24

for while he urged strongly the union Of
ali Christians in a single faith and a
single church, he frankly recognized the
fact that there are at present various
Christian denominations which are entf-
tied to be called churches, apart from
the Church Of Rome, and which. are IN
vested with ecclesiastical validity and
authority. That recognition, in view, of
the attitude held by many Roman prel-
ates toward non-Roman churches. or of
the conception of their attitude which is
widely cherished, is singularly significant
and encouraging.
OF much interest and value also was
the same prelate's argument in the same
letter that the best way Of achieving q
union of Christians is by their dwelling
on points of agreement rather than on
points of difference among them. No ad-
vice could be more sane and practical
than that. 1t is too true that in the past
religious propagandists have been in
clined toward controversy and have
dwelt upon the differences and contrasts
between their respective churches and
others. Differences do Of course exist,
but SO do agreements, and the latter are
probably the more numerous and the
more important. The hopeful thing, as
MonsigRor Bonomeli wrote, is for men
Of varying faiths to get together for the
pursuit of that religious truth which is
common to them all. In promoting such
concord and cooperation this conference
will serve q Dractical and profitable end.
and one Of the. best contributions will
have come from this prelate who was not
q member Of the conference.

CALL OFF THE PARADE.

So far as it is possible TO judge fairly
from general indications the members Of
the national guard are almost unani-
mously averse to parading on July as
a part of the "sane celebra ton" which
SO many citizens desire and which the
Mayor is earnestly promoting. Nor can
it be denied that the reasons given for
this opposition have much force.
The national guards duties under the
present system of discipline are by no
means trivial. On the contrary, they
are somewhat exacting and burdensome.
We believe that the members are al
ways ready to perform military service
promptly and cheerfully, but they evi-
dently feel that the business of parading
for the diversion Of the public or the
exhibition of patriotism can be overdone.
They discharged that function only
few weeks ago, on Memorial Day.
AS it happens this year, July falling
on Monday, there will be two full holi-
days in succession for the general pub
lie, and for many persons-members Of
exchanges and their employees, for ex-
amp1e-two and a half and three days.
Such a period of relaxation is welcome
and useful. It would be especially so
to members of those military organiza-
tons which will have to take tour OF
duty a little later, and thereby sacrifice
one-haIf or more of a short two weeks
vacation. But if the guardsmen are re-
quired to parade on July 4 they will lose
large part of the pleasure and advan-
tage to which the rest OF the commu-
nifty is looking forward.
There is also a good deal to be said
against the proposed parade from the
other point of view-that of the public.
The weather is pretty sure to be hot on
July 4, and it may be sitting, as it has
been the last three or four days. How
many citizens are really going to like
standing and having their little children
stand for hours on a crowded and slz-
zling sidewalk in order to see the show?
And how much sickness and how many
deaths would probably result?
AS for the older children, to whom a
military spectacle is perhaps more at
tractive than it is to any other part Of
the community, we understand that they
will be attending exercises in the public
schools at the hour of the parade.
On the whole, we are strongly inclined
to believe that the order for parade
Of the national guard on July was a
mistake and that it ought to be re-

THE COST OF LIVING REPORT.

| The most striking thing In the report
on causes Of the high cost Of living Just
made by the committee of which Senator
Lodge is chairman, if that report Is
fairly summarized in the newspaper re-
ports, is the relatively untmportant role
assigned in it to the influence Of the in
creased production of gold. That factor,
which economists have somewhat gener-
ally been disposed to regard as the pre-
dominating one in the problem, is treated
as of minor consideration. But the re-
port of the committee will not for this
reason lack the respect Of practical men
The theory that the supply of gold is
chiefly responsible for the rise in prices
is open to a good many practical objec-
tiOns, doubts and questions. The varia-
tions in advances of price exhibited by
different commodities show that various
causes are in operation, some Of them
plainly more powerful in their influence
upon single groups of commodities than
is any general cause, for the latter would
tend to produce uniformity in advances.
The committee is therefore probably
sound in suggesting a variety of causes
as having more practical Importance
than any general cause. The most potent
factor, in the committees opinion, lies In
agricultural conditions In this country.
The prices that have risen most are the
Fices of farm products, and their rise
is the result Of variety of causes. The
era Of cheap farm products has passed
away with the gradual settling Of the
country. The demand for farm products
has increased. The country has larger
non-agricultural population. The cost Of
agricultural production has advanced
With regard to the influence Of the
tariff, the committee reports that it has
not been material factor in causing the
tainly the tariff has not been factor in
causing the advance in the cost Of farm
products, which has been the most strik-
ing feature of the rise in the cost of lfv-
ing. Moreover, while prices have been
advancing tariff rates have been station
ary, or, in the last year, have been slight
ly reduced. Where they were reduced
the commission finds that prices never
theless advanced !
The report will be generally accepted
as sensible In its conclusions Its scen-
tific value and interest are 'lessened be-
cause Of the unwillingness' of Congress to
vote funds for an extended study Of the
problem

dissent; it almost certainly will If it
holds true to its ante-eiectfon declara-
tions The Laborites, too. are likely to
disapprove any terms which would be
acceptable to Mr.. Balfour. But the great
masses Of the two great parties are suf-
ficiently rational and conciliatory to real
ize that a momentous constitutional
question is not to be dealt with in can
tankerous spirit. 1t is not to be sup
posed that either party would yield on
a question involving patriotic integrity
or moral principle. Neither party would
ask the other to do so. But it will doubt
less be found on getting together" that
no such matters are after all at stake.
There are some points of disagreement,
but there are also points of agreement
and when the chief attention is given to
these latter they will be found to be
paramount and should prevail.

CHRISTIAN UNION AT EDINBURGH

Much was expected Of the World Mis-
sionary Conference at. Edinburgh and
much is being realized. The specific pur-
poses for which the gathering was called
are unquestionably being advanced As
result Of the conference there will be
not only an increase Of missionary zeal
and energy, but also more 1udicious
and systematic operation OF forces, and
we are not sure that tho latter will not
be the moro profitable achievement Of
the two. The annals Of missionary work
are replete with records Of heroism, but
they are also in places marked by lack
of economy and Of discretion and by
waste of energy in the duplication OF eff
forts or in rivalry where there should
have been cooperation
In another respect, perhaps unexpected
to NEST of its members, the conference
has already resulted in one benefit of
great mportance-namely, the extraor-
binary utterance in favor of Christian
union which was made few days ago,
extraordinary alike in character and in
source. 1t was a notable thing for q
great prelate Of the Roman Catholic
communion to write such a letter, or
indeed any letter. 10 such 4 gathering

a conscience of his own if he lodges the
big questions Of public morals? Even

sity of coming OUT in favor Of direct
primaries. Is the new chairman going

BRIToN THANKS Mr.. ROOSEVELT,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Would you permit a loyal British
subject visiting America to express through
your influential journal appreciation of the
opportune and public spirited advice which
Colonel Roosevelt gave in Egypt and be-
fore the Guildhan. in London, in regard
to the present policy Of Great Britain in
the government of native races in Africa
The writer has been civilly connected with
colonial administrations. for many years,
and knows from experience that the treat
ing OF primitive peoples with the senti-
mental leniency advocated by those who
have never seen an uncivi1ized race only
leads to harsher measures having to be re-
sorted to In the end, as they will now un-
doubtedly have to be.
Officials having had education. training
and experience in native customs and ira
ditions, appointed to administer justice to
the natives according to their own lights
(seeing with their eyes, as it were). who
would interfere as little as possible with
their habits, are now often prevented do
ing what the natives themselves advocate
namely, governing them with q firm but
Just hand-by influence brought to bear
by little Englanders like Bernard Shaw,
w. S. Stead and Keir Hardie. We consider
the last named greatly to blame for the
unsettled state In India, and that the con-
tented and happy condition of the Basutes
is partly due to the fact that we physically
prevented Keir Hardie from preaching Sc
ditton IN South Africa, after he had writ
ten a letter suggesting that the blacks
should rise and overpower the whites.
The Statesman's Year Book, etc, shows
that the Basutos (the most warlike native
race in South Africa, who are ruled by a
white autocrat after their own heart, are the
least taxed and least criminal of any race
And it is such critics as those mentioned
who were heard loudest in condemnation
of your worthy ex-President But the
writer and every other loyal British colo
ntal will feel grateful to candid friend
who has been and seen conditions as they
exist and has the courage to voice his
honest opinion in support of law and JUS
tice
Mr.. Roosevelt has a higher conception
OF the word freedom" than Is implied by
the giving Of unbridled liberty to savages to
fight among themselves and with peaceful
civilized nations. His idea is freedom for
the world at large under one peace trt-
bunal, and, thank God, he has the ability.
the courage and the influence to helm II
