TOO SLOW" DEPARTMENTS.
President Taft Orders the Des Moines
 to Lisbon Without Advice.

Sound common sense and a keen in sight into foreign affairs appear to have actuated President Taft in pass ing over the views of both the state department and the navy department and ordering the cruiser Des Moines to proceed to Lisbon. He will thus be able to give an object lesson of the peaceful uses to which the navy can be put. It is not an unfriendly visit; quite the contrary. The Des Moines will be at Lisbon ready to protect American citizens should any of them require protection, and in many ways can be useful during the stirring events connected with the overthrow of the dynasty and the establishment of or der. Indeed. she may never be called upon, but her presence is an assurance to Americans that help is at hand if needed.
 But more important than anything else is the fact that the American flag will be seen in the waters of the Portuguese capital at the time that the new republic that has been estab- lished is undergoing the first test of all republics, moderation in the treatment of those who disagree with the victors in the revolution.
 Leaving Gibraltar yesterday (Friday) morning on receipt of the instructions of the president with an alacrity which reflects great credit on the prepared ness of the American navy, being un- der steam within few hours after the first intimation was conveyed that this service was expected. the Des Moines will be off Lisbon on Sunday morning. In no more appropriate place in the world at this time can the American flag be displayed.-New York Herald.

The Psychology Of Crowds

those peculiarities are matters Of COM
mon knowledge.
Briefly. a crowd is new entity, diff
fering in mind and will from the in
dividuals who compose It, Its intel
lectual pitch Is lowered, its emotional
pitch raised. 1t takes on something
of the characteristics of hypnotized

excitable, lacking In self control. Many
Frenchmen under "the terror" gentle
and humane as individuals, made up
crowds guilty Of horrible atrocities.
Questioned afterward. they could not
account for their actions. Some inex-
plicable change had taken place In
them. and that inexplicable something
was the peculiar influence Of the
crowd.

In Iceland horses are shod with

Ground Feed For Horses.

Of grinding will not make 1t profitable

where one Is prepared to grind his

done at odd times. and the expense OF
