The Moors Win the War.

The Spanish troops are not bring ing home many laurels from Morocco but they are received with bouquets on their return to Spain. The Catalan regiments marched through flower strewn streets of Barcelona, and were feasted as if they had been conquer ors. The Spagiards, being a shrewd people, after their way, these mani festations may be construed as sim ply indicating popular satisfaction that the not particularly cruel war is over. It waz from the start an unpopular war. waged. many Spaniards said, to m0netize concessions granted by the pretender to the throne of Morocco. and the military demands fell with crushing severity on the workin g classes The collapse of the Span ish programme is an illustration of the success of popular reaction against n1iliLarisn but in 9 war that appeals to their patriotic impulses the Span iards do not spare themselves or any body else Also it illustrates the truth of a Moorish sayin1 that in a con 1ict with Spain, whoever wins the bat ties the Moors win the war.

Cannon and Connecticut.

The Washington Post is a very readable journal and often conveys 1n- teresting and trustworthy information But we can hardly credit its statement published elsewhere that Senator Bulkeley of this state says that there Speaker Cannon. The fact is that the old man is today the most unpopular republican in the country so far as the sentiments of Connecticut members of the party are concerned You can hardly strike any group of people talk ing politics who do not drag in Uncle Joe, and drag him in for the sake of throwing him out They have no more use for him, and they find encourage
 nent and cheerfulness in the proba- biiitv that he will be eliminated by, if not before the next elections z He may put up the bluff that The Post sug- gests in the article referred to, but 1t will not work. He is inching along to the end of his rope and that cannot be He will probably withdraw himself, and thus in a measure save his face; hut he's a goner and Connecticut would take pleasure in helping him to go. He belongs to an era and class in politics that the country has done with. The hard-shen old fellows who think they are It and who do not pro pose to change have full right to stay right where they are, but the great body of the people keep moving and those who stay where they are get left Cut it out and paste it on the wall that Cannon never again will be elect ed speaker of the house; and you might paste there, too, the statement that whoever says this state has no hostility to him is out of touch with up-to- date Connecticut sentiment The COurant.

No "Experiment" is Needed.

Illustrative of the growth of the ru- raI free delivery service Fourth As sistant Postmaster General De Graw prints in his report a list of 95 routes which handled during the year more than 50,000 pieces of mail each. These are the best and busiest routes; yet only one, took in so much as $1,000 on mail collected. and one collected as little as $40 in a suburban community where presumably commuters mail most or the letters in the city,
 This splendid service, in a word. is not earning the money it should earn. MT De Graw shows that the rural let ter carrier usually has but 25 pounds of mali to handle, while his light wag- on could easily carry ten times as much. Rural communities have tele- phone connection with the city stores, and if delivery might be made by mail the carriers could collect all their pay instead of about one- fifth of it, as at present Hence MT. De Graw recom- mends that the postmaster general "be authorized to arrange experimentally for limited period" for a. rural par cels post. Such an experiment. would be welcomed as an installment of jus tice and common sense--New York World.

The Tariff and the Farm.

ssDiversif1cation of induxtries' has been one Of the advantages Of pro tective tariff which has been acknowl- edged even by those unwilling to ad- init the direct benefits of shutting out foreign goods or enhancing their prices to the consumer Indeed, largely upon this doctrine of diversification has rested the scientific argument for pro- tection-that this diversifcation tend ed to increase the economic independ- enee and wealth of the country and the ultimate power of it's industries to stand alone Offers by protected ID . duStrieSJ to give up protection and stand alone have not been so numerous as to attract notice from the public but something in the way of growing economic independence has probably been accomplished in iron and steel and the cheaper grades of cotton goods and in the position of the coun- try as a whole.
 But the interesting problem arises, has the tariff rendered the creation and extension of new industries so attractive that our prosperity has be- come fop-heavy. Are there more con- sumers of luxuries than there are pro- ducers of them? In other words. has the lure of the profit to be made in protected industries on the one hand. and the trades which serve their ben eficiaries, on the other hand, been drawing people away from the land, the great source of nutriment and life2 Secretary Wilson is quoted as saying that sonly a small fraction of the number of immigrants from abroad go to the farms of the country" and the reason he assigns is that 'the facto- ries pay higher wages and offer short CT hours.'
 We are not at present discussing whether protection is a wise policy, but whether it has been carried to such an extent in this country that we have put our mill-hands so far above the pauper labor of Europe that all our working people are going into the mills. If the present situa- tion is only a hiatus in the distrtbu- tion of agricultural production throughout the world, then food sup plies for this country may be found elsewhere; and if found on cheap land in undeveloped countries, worked by poorly-paid labor, we shall be the economic gathers. The concentration of distribution into the hands of grea' corporations, which ought to produce economies, seems in some cases tc have increased the number and profits of middlemen. If the entire subject IS investigated. however, by an impar- tial commission, the question whether we have grown so successful in pro- ducing and consuming luxuries thai we have forgotten about the produc- tion Of necessities can hardly be lg- nored.-Wall Street Journal.

The Low Grade Road.

Henry H. Rogers, like so many other Americans who have attained great wealth, became. fascinated with the railroad industry. He did not buy up a broken down property and place it upon a level of efficiency, nor did he strive to gather control of all the lines within his own office He built a. road of his own a short road, but well nigh perfect in construction and equipment.
 A few days ago a train was run over this road, the Vtrginian railway, which broke a worlds record. A locomotive hauled 12o loaded coal cars from Vic toria, Va, to SewelPs Point, near Nor folk, in a little more than nine hours, the distance being 124.8 miles. This was a test of the low grades upon which Rogers had insisted and which were obtained only after the surmount- ing of exceeding difficulties and the expenditures of money that, at one time, threatened to bankrupt the Stand ard Oil man. The railroad is more than a monument to the promoter, however, for it has set an example. All the of ficers of transportation companies are desirous of having lines of small grades, since it means so much in economy of operation, but they are not always willing to risk large sums upon reconstruction or to erdanger their standing with the stockholders But in the competition of the roads the one which can run most cheaply forces oth- CTS to follow, and the demonstration of one success makes scores of other Suc- ceSS0S fclIoW.-Toledo Blade.

Our Ways and Their Ways.

The good time that Mir. George L.. Fox of New Haven had in participat- ing in the campaign of his friend, John Burns, in England its creditable re- suits and the seeming acceptability of his efforts have started considerable speculation as to what may hereafter be the result of an extension of this principle of campaign exchanges. We know how well it works in the minis try and how the pastors as well as the focks enjoy the occasional ex- change.

Economy of Human Life.

The health records of London show a death rate for 1909 of only 13.S per thousand. That of New York when corrected by the census this year will figure oue close to Is.
 From 1851 to 1860 the London death rate was 23.7. That of New York can not be so accurately stated, but it was much higher. The fall in the death rate in London in 50 years, due to better sanitation and more accurate knowl- edge of disease, means the saving in a single year of almost 10000 lives The saving in New York has been in like proportion. New York has extremes of climate to contend with which Lon don never knows.
 In spite of later marriages and a falling birth rate, the natural increase of population in both cities is consid- erably greater than it was 50 years ago. In 1860 each 100000 people in London increased in one year to 100,- 300; now each 100000 increases to 1o1,- 14O. With the present estimated pop ulation of both cities. the natural in- crease of London in one year Is nearly 80, GOO and of New York about 55,000, with immigration greatly aiding the newer city in the race.-New York World.

PRESIDENT DECIDES
 TO PRESS PROCEEDINGS
Looking to Dissolution of Merger oi
 Union and Southern Pacific Rail- roads.

Washington. Jan. 2s.-The president has determined to press to conclu- sion the pending suit against the Un- ion and Southern Pacific Railroad com panies looking to a dissolution Of mer- ger and today concluded to deny the application of Judge Lovett, MT. liar riman's successor, for dismissal of the suit.
 Soon after Judge Lovett, with a number of influential railroad people, appealed to the president to quash the proceedings before Judge Vandeven- ter's court in Salt Bake City MT. Taft, following the course that had New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company when a similar ap- peal was made, referred the matter to the attorney general for examination and report.
 In the New England case it was found that owing to the action taken by the state of Massachusetts and the insignificance of the governments in terests it would be best to abandon the prosecution of the railroad, and this was done.
 But Attorney General Wiczersham reached a very different conclusion in this Pacific railroad merger case and today he handed to President Taft 8 vol1minous report, the conclusion o1 which justified the president in the announcement that there was a good case against the railroads since the de- cision in the Northern Securities de- cision. Therefore the proceedings al Salt Lake City will be pressed.

The Canal Zone.

The bill for the administration of the Panama Canal Zone, which has just passed the house of representa- tives, is not yet assured of acceptance in the senate. It passed one house in the last session, but failed in the other and the present canal commission is holding over, with only an imperfect authorization. The present measure vests the entire authority within the canal zone in the president, who is to have the canal completed, and is em- powered to appoint a director general to have entire charge of the work. The only exception to his powers is in the provision for a court or courts of civil and criminal jurisdiction, with appeal to the supreme court. The president has authority to make all needful regulations which the director general is to execute, subject to this judicial review where individual rights are concerned.
 The canal zone is not in any sense a political territory. It is simply the ground occupied in the operations on the canal and is necessarily under the direct command of those responsible for the work. In theory there is not much difference between a, commission of five persons and a single autocra tic director, but practical experience ap- pears to have convinced congress that concentration will make for greater ef- iciency--P adelphia Ledger

 The combination has the approval of physicians because it is known to be truly beneficial, and because it has given satisfaction to the millions of well-informed families who have used it for many years past.
 To get it's beneficial effects, always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
