THE record in detail of the bills and
resolutions introduced and acted upon
at the late session Of Congress is 4 sus-
prising one. Perhaps the most susprls-
ing and significant feature OF it is the
fact that no less than GAO private PEN
sion bills were passed, the largest
number ever put through ut any scs-
sion. II the annual value Of each OF
these pensions is placed ut the low
figure of 800 this means an addition
Of 1914. 600 to the annual pension bur
den of the country The explanation
of the phenomenon, says the Phila-
delphia Record, is thef approach OF a
general election and the desperate
straits Of the republican party. Every
pension bill that had even half leg
OF apparent merit to stand upon was
hustled through in the hope of making
q republican vote or two.

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY $

Mr.. RoosEvELT's adherence OF muir
der-in Egypt-and his contention that
political assassination demonstrates that
q people-in Egppt-is unfit for self
government brings forth a reply from
the Manchester, England, Guardian.
1t cites the international statistics OF
homicide, with the sad result OF snow
ing that the rate per million Tor the
United States is ten or twelve Tunes
higher than in any country OF Europe.
Chicago, with two millions, has as
many murders in year rs has India,
with three hundred millions. Nor IL
the matter OF political assasslnatlons
are our withels unwrung. The Guard
ian recalls the murder of the governor
OF Kentucky and OF the lieutenant gov
ernor of South Carolina, and puts the
malicious inquiry: If you cannot
keep order, you must get out, says
Mr.. Roosevelt. In that case, what ma
ton will take over the government OF
the United States ?" The above is I'M
answerable. The Guardian could have
referred to the steadily increasing num-
Der of lynchings, the crimes of night
riders, etc. which are disgrace to our
institutions. In our endcavors 70
:Christianize China, Japan, Korea,
India. Africa and other countries, we
seem to lose sight OF. the fact that our
own country, Notwithstanding its aim
to be foremost among civilized nations,
is still an extensive mission field.

the weekly payments, rs agreed.
Jones was lett with the alternative of
marching to his home clad i'll sum-

pay but was allowed to use the tcle-
phone and get 2 friend to come to
his rescue, whereupon he was allowed

IT may be much more difilcul'
task to raise the wreck of the Maine
now than it would have been years ago.
But it is this governments own fault
that it was not raised years ago, and 1t
would be shabby performance to
plead neglect as an excuse for dong
the Job now in an unsatisfactory man
ner. In this connection the New York
Tribune says: The commercial IN
terests of Havana harbor might be
adequately served by breaking up the
wreck and removing it piecemeai, but
the honor OF the nation demands an
other course. Even il it 4 costly Job,
the Maine should be raised rs nearly
intact as the skill of engineers permits. "
The opposition of those in authority to
the raising of the wreck can be but for
one reason and that lest it would be
shown that the Maine was blown up
ftom the inside.
