Eve Italians were Killed i'm the

Monday. on Tuesday their bodies
were on exhibition in New York city
and were viewed by large numbers of
sympathetic persons who contributed

to be that the men. somehow. were
martyrs and had suffered uniustly
and cruelty. All they had done was
to invade the dwelling of a family
supposed to keep large sums of ready
money ana murder an Old woman
they found there who interfered with

"One of the economic falIacies that
dies haro," says the Boston Post, 'is
the assertion sometimes heard that
the wealth of the country is not les
sened by shortage of crops or live
stock. No matter if the crop is
small. the holder of the theory will
say, the price is higher, so the money
value of the crop is as great, if not
greater, than would be that of a
larger crop at a lower price" Effec-
lively pricking this bubble of sophis-
try, the Post remarks: "a horse and
COW census was recently taken in New
Y ork State and it is found that there
are 545, 600 fewer animals than in
1909, but the value per animal has so
increased that the money value of
the reduced mum Der is actually great
er than the money value of the num-
Der that existed three years ago So
some optimiSt declares that the wealth
of the State in animals has really in
creased. 1t is easy to see the alb
surdity of that claim. If it held good.
the animal wealth of New York
might go on increasing by reducing
the number of animals each year
until at last there would be but one
horse and one COW in existence and
they would be priceless. And then
but what's the USE" What's the use
indeed? 1t seems amazing that the
obviousness of the fallacy to which
the Post calls attention is not self
apparent to any human being who is
willing to give it moments thought.

There can be no reasonable doubt
that the Panama Canal bill contains
much foolish demagogic legislation.
ThoSe vicious thrusts at railway con-
necions, for instance deserve the
condemnation of all right-minded
people. But the main point of it all
the reputation of England's proposal
to influence the result, is all right and
should be adhered to at any cost. The
same may be said of the suggestion
that the whole matter he submitted to
arbitration before the Hague tribunal.
We should never consent to that. We
are within our rights. The canal runs

MEYER TO ASK FOR
HIGH NAVY GRADES
Wants Congress to Establish Ad-
miral and Vice Admiral
Ranks.

The placing Of American naval officers
commanding battleship fleets upon
level Of rank equal TO that of foreign
naval commanders will be one Of the
things which President Taft and Sec
retary Meyer will urge upon the forth
coming session Of Congress. II was an
nounced yesterday that one final effort
will be made BY this administration 10
induce Congress to create the grades Of
admiral and vice admiral, so that Ameri
can officers. even when commanding
superior naval force. need not sit in the
last row in international gatherings.
Even China, Portugal and Denmark.
whose navies are negligible compared to
the United States Navy, have vice ad-
mirsils. who. by their rank. would take
precedence over the comma nder of the
Atlantic hattleship fleet in any iTterna-
tiOnal assemblage Such a situation.
Secretary Meyer pointed ont Yesterday,
is an indignity TO the United States as
a nation. rather than to any particular
American officer.
In announcing his recommendation yes
terday Secretary Meyer said
a battleship fleet should BE- com
manded by an admiral. wee admiralS
should command sQuadrOns. and read
admirals should command divisions. Our
great battleship fleet is commanded by
u rear admiral. with four other rear ad-
mirals under his orders. This violates
the prinr iple of rank. which is that each
separate degree Of duty and authority.
all depending one on the other. requires
separate rank
