deals and investigate the conditions of
production here and abroad; they should
find out the facts and not merely accept
the statements of interested parties. and
they should report TO Congress on each
subject as soon as that subject has been
covered
Then action can be taken AT once on
the particular subject concerned, while
the commission Immediately proceeds to
investigate another BY these means log
rolling would be avoided and each subject
treated on its merits, while there would
be no such shock to general industry as is

Formerly Massachusetts dealt with its

London. Sept. 3.-The rumors in re-

in Lancashire.
The engines are made up OF about forty
units. They have five cylinders each.
and are divided into four main groups

A Material Issue.

The tariff ought to be a material issue
and not a moral issue, but If instead Of a
square deal we get a crooked deal, then II
becomes very emphatlcally a moral issue.
What we desire in tariff is such meas

the cost OF production IS mainly labor

labor cost here and abroad.
The American public wants the
American laboring man put on an
equality with other citizens, so that he
shall have the ability to achieve the
American standard OF living and the
capacity to enjoy it; and to do this we
must see that his wages are not lowered
by improper competition with inferior
wageworkers abroad-with wageworkers
who are paid poorly and who live as no
Americans are willing to live But the
American public does not wish to see the
tariff so arranged as to benefit pri-
marily a few wealthy men.

its end in view. we have as yet devised
nothing in any way as effective as a tariff

those who denounce him as n moral

Is. Thus are we admonished by that
illustrious psychologist, Mr.. Havelock
ELLIS, who, in The Sociological Review
hondon). says that talent Is any de-
gree of intellectual ability superior to
tho average and genius consists in
such superior ability combined with the
aptitude of invention or creation. In
this he follows that eminent investi-
gator of the subject, DR.. Albert Reib-
mayr who believes that talent is pro-
duced by prolonged in breeding while
genius results from cross breeding. 1t
is necessary that the race shall be fair
ly pure and well protected from racial
admixture- This is effected. Havelock
Ellis thinks. by an inSular position like
that of England and still better by a
peninsular position such as that of
Greece. or by abundant water courses
as In the cases of Mesopotamia and the
Netherlands. A mild climate Is also
required. 1t Is further highly desirable
that the population should be largely
engaged In agriculture and maritime
commerce. The first supplies the basis
of stolid root characters" and the sec
ond vicacity and imagination
The conditions which favor the pro-
duction of talent also favor that OF
genius. as Ellis and Heidmayr agree.

The novel by Juliet Wilbor Thomp-
kins published this month by the Baker
& Taylor company under the title OF
The Top of the Morning" has had an
interesting career as to Its title. The
book was originally announced as The
Lantern Bearers" The title was then
changed TO US" and was finally
changed to the present title. which is
believed to convey the exhilarating
mood Of the book better than either of
the others. IL is the authors first book
