Monday night of heart-failure follow
ing an attack of indigestion. He work
ed at his desk till within a few hours
of his death. His age was 45 years
Mr.. Burleigh was the son of Congress
man Edwin c. Burleigh, and leaves a
widow and two sons. His death
causes profound regret in Maine jour-

most favorably and kindly. He was
one of the kindliest of men and Maine

cease of this valued citizen.

policy" 1.-THE preservation of the con-
troI of water power sites in the hands

extraordinarily improbable assertion.
The country WAS thoroughly and heartily
committed TO this form Of conservation.
The President was warmly in sympathy
with If. Yet Mr.. Pinchot charges that
Mr.. Ballinger entered the Cabinet with
the purpose of secretly undoing all that
had been done to protect the water
nower sites and of turning them over 10
the possession of monopolists.
To attempt to do this would have been
so foolish that it is virtually Impossible
10 believe that any one could seriously
have entertained such project in ms
mind. How far could Mr.. Balllnger,

the purpose Mr.. Pinchot charges, nave

discovered and defeated? He knew OF

Not only because of her chronological
priority, but also because OF her eur
hence in civilization and arts, Argentina
is entitled t, the primacy in this cen
tennial commemoration She is to-day the
second sheep raising and the third cat
tie and horse raising country LII Tue
world. She was in 1907 only the
seventh wheat raising country. but she
nearly equalled Canada and Australia
mt together, and if the ratio Of increase
from 1902 to 1907 is being continued she
will be the second wheat country in the
world two years hence, and a rev
wears later will surpass the United
States and rank first. Her potentlailties
of future growth are enormous, almost
beyond appreciation. There is country
with an area equal to moro than 40 per
cent of that Of the United States, with
probably smaller proportion OF waste
land than we have, with singulariy pro-
ductive soil and a most genial climate
and with only some 100000 inhabl-
tants When its population is increased
tenfold. as it may well be, Its productive
power will be one Of the greatest IN the
world. And in the vast commercial re-
lationships which it will develop the
United States ought to have the chief
share. To-day we stand third on the
list of lands from which Argentina i'm
ports goods. Great Britain surprising us
by more than $50 per cent, while on the
list of those to which she exports goods
we are a poor and tagging fifth.
AS for the political status, present
and prospective, Of Argentina, we may
confidently repeat the deliberate estl-
mate of "The London Times" that Of
recent years the country Las been gov
erned for all practical purposes as well
as many Of the older nations, and that
a return Of the old spirit of unrest and
chronic insurrection Is practically I'M
possible. The same may be said or
other South American republics, and
the time is rapidly approaching when 1t
will be possible and prudent to say 1t
Of them ALL This year Of hundred
years" does not mark as great progress
in South America as 1876 did in the
United States, but the occurrences and
developments Of the last dozen or score
of years strongly suggest that in their
second century those states may put
us to our utmost efforts if we are not to
be surpassed.
