"You can't offend a resident of
Pittsburg by calling his town the
Smoky City," said Enos Hadsell
Porter Of Pittsburg, United States
marshal for the western district of
Pennsylvania. 1--WE know Pittsburg
is smoky, but 1t is that very fact that
is proof of the great industry that
has made Pittsburg one of the great
est cities in the world. 1t is the
smoke that has given it the promi-
hence Of being the richest city per
capita in the world. Pittsburg has
So per capita more than any city on
earth.
Allegheny county has more than
q million and half Inhabitants, and
within radius of six miles of Pitts
burg there are 100000 people
That's going some, we think. AS for
the smoke of Pittsburg, it isn't as
thick as it used to be, for our city
authorities are enforcing the law re-
quiring that all the great factories
shall be equipped with smoke con-
sumers. Still, Pittsburg is smoky
and deserves it's title.
''The city is growing at a remark

ians are numerous. And this re-
minds me of an incident that hap

who was his sovereign, and the

THE HOME RULE DEBATE.

It was currently reported after the
return Of Mr.. Roosevelt from abroad
that in the course Of a conversation
with Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign ministe he had suggested
that the removal of the friction be-
tween England and Ireland would go
Ia long way toward establishing a
better feeling between the American
and British nations. Whether he did
or not, and his advice in regard to
ruling Egypt or getting out makes it
not improbable. the publication of the
report seems to have been widely
accepted in England, as witness the
remark in the commons yesterday
that the granting Of home rule to
Ireland would remove an obstacle to
the proposed general arbitration
treaty between the English speaking
nations.
Yesterdays debate from the Tory
side was peculiarly ostrich-like. Ig-
noring, until reminded by Premier
Asquith, the fact that they had made
their recent campaign almost wholly
upon the supposed dollar dictation''
of the Irish party over the Liberal
government in the interest of home
rule, former Premier Balfour sought
to exclude home rule from the list of
bills that could be passed over the
veto of the lords on the plea that the
British voters had not considered
that issue in the campaign. But as
Asquith showed, that was the prin.
cipal issue raised by the supporters
Of the lords and passed upon by the
voters. To assume otherwise was tc
imagine that the whole campaign OF
the Tories fell of deaf ears, surely a
remarkable confession. OF all tactic.
al makeshifts surely this plea of the
Tories that the one issue they raised
was absolutely ignored by the electo
rate is the most remarkable example
of stiffness that even British parti.
sanship has produced.
OF course, the veto bill will b,
passed, and equally of course it will
not exclude home rule as one of tn,
measures that may be passed ovel
that veto. The readjustment of tn,
relations with the Irish people there
by secured will not only improve tn,
standing of England with Americans
but with right thinking people of ev

THE, CHAN.OF MDDLEMEN.

The. phenomenal increase in the
price OF toodstuns as they pass from
middleman to middlemen en- route
from the producer to the consumer.
with Washineton as the terminal
point, was made use Of by Repre-
sentative s. W. Smith to emphasize
his speech on reciprocity in the
house the other day.
The facts were gathered by an ap-
pie raiser in the state Of Washington.
who had a curiosity to know how 1t
came that box Of apples which was
sold at first hands for Lightweight
cents was sold in Washington city
for 81. The figures, as given by Rep
resentative Smith in the course Of his
remarks, covered several transactions
additional to the foregoing instance.
one shipper receiving $1.52 for ap-
pies which were sold for seventy-five
cents a dozen; another, $1.52 a box,
which sold for $3.50. and still another.
$1.41 box for apples which retailed
for ten cents each.
1t was found that five middlemen
had handled the apples, the first mid
dleman being the fruit growers as

shipment east; the second, commits

they were consigned; the third a
broker in the same city; the fourth

who sells to the ultimate consumer.
Representative Smith added that
what is true of apples is duplicated
over and over again with practically
everything that is the product of the
farm. He shares Secretary Wilson's
opinion that the only solution Of the
problem for the consumer is the for

STUBS VS.. EDISON.

J.. c. Stubs, man of affairs and
trusted lieutenant Of the late Edward
Hartman, proposes to get out of the
game at the age Of sixty-five. Up to
the present he has worked. Hence
forth, to use his own words, it is his
intention. to live. Not that the ele-
ments Of: life have been absent from
an active business career, but that
the time for retirement has arrived.
It IL for the good Of the institution,
he claims, and for his own good, that
the step 10 to be taken.
Opposed strongly to this view,
Thomas A. Edison announces his re-
solve to die in harness. With de-
gree Of optimism that does him cred
It, however, he has placed the date
Of his demise many years in the fu-
ture-so far, in fact, that the child
Of today will be an old man, as ordi-
nary generations 60, before that re-
grettable event occurs.
Edison is not the first to preach
the gospel of work-and to practice
It as we'll, with q degree Of earnest
ness and enthusiasm which should
put to. shame the professors Of most
cults and creeds. His forty-eight
hours at a stretch Of unceasing toll
must seem marvellous to most per-
sons. and it is marvellous, such as
only human dynamo could possibly
endure. But he has had his exalted
predecessors. Balzac frequently wrote
