Department that not sufficient informa-
ton has yet been received concerning the
sudden demand made by Russia upon
China to warrant the formulation Of a
protest. It IS to be expected. however.

preserved and that the open door shall be
maintained In all parts OF that realm.

EXTRA SESSION TALK

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Congress had better be good and pass
those administration measures or the
President will keep 1t in for extra session.
From the Omaha Bee.
The threat of an extra session may stir
Congress into action. Only three weeks
remain in which to accomplish the pro-
gram extensive enough to have well oc-
cupied the entire time OF the short ses-
sion. The waste of words that has pre-
vented legislation will not endear the
takers to the public.
From the Savannah News.
If Congress wants to hold an extra ses-
sion it had better hurry. Pretty soon
the newspapers will be needing the space
for the base ball news.
From the Houston Post.
Many Of the congressman from Texas
are so anxious for Canadian reciprocity
that they hope the President will call an
extra session. il necessary. to get the
treaty through. But then a prohibition
campaign is pending in Texas and the lit

Dix and the Senatorship.

Gov. Dix should suppress all sugges-
tons that he accept the New York sena-
torship and end the controversy. He is
told that Mr.. Sheehan is impossible, and
| a compromise necessary; that the Shee-
hanftes will not hear to the selection of
any man whose name has been used in
the balloting to his detrment.
In Ohio, when trouble existed over the
senatorship. Gov. Harmon was urged to
take the Office. He was assured that he
! would be acceptable to both factions and
had but to say the word. He refused, de-
claring he had been reelected governor
| upon the understanding that he would
continue to serve the people In that office.
The decision was applauded. and the gov
ernor is stronger today, locally and ma
tionally, because OF 1t.
The same thing occurred, In New Jer-
sey. and with the same result Gov. Will
son could not he turned away from his
purpose and duty He had been elect ed
governor upon a platform Of his own die
tation. and he felt bound to remain at
home and carry it out. In doing this he
is antagonizing many politicians in his
party, but undoubtedly strengthening him
self in the general estimation, at home
and elsewhere.
Gov. Dix accepted office upon the same
terms. Nothing has occurred since he
took the oath which he might not have
foreseen. His creator being Tanmany, he
might have known that Tammany would
besiege him for favors. The legislature
being under Tammany's influence, he
might have known that Tammany would
demand the senatorship. But. difficult as
his task at Albany is proving. and may
continue to prove, he should remain there
He may not succeed as governor. The out
look is far from promising. But what
ever happens, his place is Albany
And another thing. Gov. Dix would not
shine in the Senate. Whatever his tai
ents for public business may be. they do
not point in that direction. AS the col
league of Elihu Root-already a towering
figure in that body, and growing-he
would be completely overshadowed He
cannot register more conspicuous fall
ure at Albany than he would be certain
to register in Washington.
The spectacle of fifteen years ago would
be duplicated. At that time New York
was represented in the Senate by law
yer and politician of the first class, whose
part in affairs was notable. and a pro-
sale man of business who took no part
at all. David B. Hill was at his ease in
the Senate, and SO placed as to develop
his talents. while Edward Murphy, jr..
found nothing more to do than record his
name when the roll was called In this
particular Root and Dix as colleagues
would recall Hill and Murphy.

The Elimination of POVERTY.

DR.. Jacob II. Hollander, professor Of
economics in Johns Hopkins. enunciated
an important sociological principle the
other day in the course of an address before
the Hebrew Benevolent Society of Balti-
more, when he declared that the mod
ern world is wrong in believing that pow
erty is inevitable, just as the ancient
world was wrong in assuming that slav-
cry was a natural and necessary condi-
ton He declared that through the eff
forts now being made to reach the causes
OF poverty will come the solution OF the
problem and the elimination of poverty.
Such optimism is calculated to forward
the work that is in progress in every
large city Of reaching the causes Of pow
erty by education, organization and ad-
justment. In Washington at present this
matter is under more serious discussion
than ever before, and a movement Is in
progress at this time to coordinate the
charitable agencies, SO as to conserve
their resources and utilize them to the
best advantage.
A study of poverty leads inevitably to
| the conclusion that it springs almost in
variably from ignorance and the neglect
OF certain laws. DIR. Hollander is correct
in his comparison Of this condition to an
| institution such as slavery. which in the
past had come to be regarded as in
evitable. largely because 1t existed. The
world is prone to look upon a prevailing
condition as necessarily permanent, es-
pecially as its cure involves labor and
expenditure.
| People are poor because they are not
equipped mentally. physically or morally
for supporting work. Through some folly
of their own they often aggravate the con-
ditions inherent in the state Of life into
which they are thrown. They waste OPP
portunities. squander their resources, fail
utterly to pro ide Tor the future and de-
pend for succor upon the charity of the
world. Illness. accident. loss of employ
ment through no fault Of the worker,
climatic visitations. fires and other dis
asters find their readiest victims In those
who have ignored their own needs and
failed to provide against misfortune
Through education may come the eman-
cipation Of humanity from the slavery of
poverty. which is in large measure the
work of its own victims. Industrial ad-
justments. the proper distribution OF
workers. the training OF people to definite
though humble occupations. the teaching

SENTIMENT ON THE CANADIAN RECIPROCITY PACT

President Taft is pleased that he has
won the people on the subject Of reel
procity with Canada. Unfortunately, 1T

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

republicans? None whatever. sir. to the

by the roots and there is a consequent
degree of wailing over 1t, on both sides
of the boundary line.

The Montauk Point Terminal.

In one respect at least the people who
are charged with the responsibility Of pro-
viding transportation and business ia
cilities in and around New York are fore
handed One of the greatest drawbacks
OF metropolitan existence heretofore has
been the disposition to let arrears Of
necessities accumulate, with the result
that today the travel lines in all di-
rectfons are overloaded, being at least
five years and in some respects ten years
behind the times. But in one direction
the men OF affairs are looking we'll ahead
In good season. Despite it's abundance Of
water front New York is a crowded port
The concentration of lines from all over
the world at this point has put ire
mendous strain upon its docking faciii-
ties, and. to add to the difficulties, steam-
ship builders have of late years been en-
gagged in a sharp rivalry in the expansion
Of their units. Transatlantic liners have
grown from 500 to nearly 800 feet In
length and from 1900 tons to 10000 tons
in displacement. Piers have been ex-
tended to accommodate these growing
vessels, and applications are even now
on file with the War Department for
further lengthening of the docks to per-
NIT the loading and unloading of the
leviathans. 1t is questionable whether
the department will grant the request Of
the shipping interests. Meanwhile pro-
vision has been made for the development
of a transatlantic port at the eastern end
OF Long Island, with a special view to re-
lieving the congestion in New York har-
Dor. This is an old project. fathered by
the late Austin Corbin, for many years

fishing termini at Montauk Point and

probable advance was made in this d.
rection, but the feasibility and advantage
Of his scheme were generally recognized
by shippers and transportation OFFICIALS.
Now extensive improvements are projected
by the road which he once headed. and
1T, is the belief that eventually, perhaps
In five years. a great part or the snip
ping now accommodated in New YORK
will be cared for at Fort Pond Bay, Mon
tauk Point. There is practically no limit
to the possible pier lengths there, so that
even though the liner Of the future may
be over a thousand feet long It can be
accommodated. The docking Of a ves-
sci at Montauk Point would permit the
arrival Of passengers in New York city
much quicker than at present, and with
the present railway facilities for through
connections it would be possible for a
tourist on landing to take train for al
most any continental destination With

the decreased distance of sea travel Eng

The bill introduced in the New York

thereof deserves the support of all right
minded legislators. The attack ON Mayor
Gaynor and the murder of David Graham
Phillips. both fresh in the public men,
DRY, are certain to give to this measure
1.-THE stamp of popular approval. 1t will
be admitted, too. that the author of the

been guided rather by an intimate knowl-
edge Of the perils OF metropolitan life
than by mere finespun theory in framing
the enactment. The manufacturing inter
ests are said to approve of the registra-
ton. but object to the licensing of pur-
chasers, but this last named clause is
too important to be omitted. 1t would be
