The Most Telling Monroe Doctrine.

1t is very pleasing 10 note that most
of the links OF steel that are to con-
meet Northwestern Canada with South
ern Argentina have been completed.
When the remaining links have been
finished and Alaska built its railroads,
a thing that is inevitable, it will be
possible to board a train at Nome, for
instance, and alight at Buenos Ayrcs,
travelling down the entire length of
both continents uninterruptedly and in
comfort
There is an element of romance, as
well as solid commercial and polit-
ical basis of utility in the vast system
of railways that is either already in
operation or under construction, or
projected, and which is to be known
as, and to constitute the Pan-American
railway. The connecting chain of steel
that will be running through two con-
tinents should promote sympathy of
sentiment of commercial interest thus
far absorbed by the industrial countries
of Europe.
The new railroad, whenever finished,
will express in imperishable steel the
essential unity of the two Americas
and their destinies.

REVIEWS ITS FIGHT
AGAINST RAILROADS
Carriers Made Defendant In
Suit Filed by Government
at Trenton.

The Department OF Justice yesterday
renewed its fight against the anthracite
railroads when 1t filed in the United
States District Court at Trenton. n. J..
suit under the Sherman antitrust
law>against the Delaware, Lackawana
and Western, and the Delaware, Lacka-
wana and Western Coal Company.
This suit alleges not only violation of
the Sherman antitrust law, but also
a violation OF the commodities clause OF
the interstate commerce act.
Involved in the action begun yesterday
is test OF this means of meeting the in
hibitions of the commodities clause. and
the result will apply to other anthracite
roads which have organized their coal
producing companies.
The suit filed yesterday has also an
other important significance. The
Supreme Court OF the United States, in
its recent decision in the anthracite coal
cases, dismissed without prejudice two
charges in the governments petition.

For Congress to Decide.

President Taft's determination to
place upon Congress the responsibility
for any action which may be taken
with regard to Mexico cannot be con-
strucd as indicating any lack of firm
ness upon his part. Intervention, even
under extreme aggravation, might
very properly be construed as an act
OF war, and Congress alone, under the
Constitution, has the power to involve
us in a conflict with a foreign nation.
1t must be remembered that Mex
ico has not. UP to the present time,
committed any belligerent act against
the United States or against any
American citizen, as such. The cas-
ualties which have occurred were in
cident to a state of civil war, and
would not, in themselves, afford JUS
tihcation for our invasion of Mexican
soil. There IS, however. much larger
question involved. Under the Monroe
doctrine we stand sponsor, so to speak,
for the entire American continent
south of the Rio Grande. We dis
tinctly hold that there shall be no
European interference. Under these
circumstances we are morally bound
10 guarantee peace and order i'll the
Latin-Amcrican republics. If VIC fail
in this duty, European nations will
find an excuse TO exercise authority.
In all civilized communities, when
4 quarrcling family disturbs the tran
quillity of a ncighborhood, the dis
turbers are quoted by the arm Of the
law. To some extent, at least, this
principle obtains among civilized ma
tions. 1t was carried into effect when
4 concert of powers interviewed in
China to suppress the Boxer rebellion.
In the case OF Mexico there cannot
be the same international cooperation.
The duty OF insuring order in place
OF anarchy rests with the United
States alone.
Intervention should, however. be the
last-the very last-resort. The for
ward step. once taken, must be con-
tinued TO the end. If the now warning

Object Lesson of Postal Savings.

According TO the report of the Post
master General, there are 10000 de-
positors in the postal savings banks
who are intrusting their small hoard
10 Uncle Sam, despite the low per-
centagc of interest allowed, simply be-
cause they arc absolutely sure of the
safety of their money This is the
guaranty which the average depositor
of a few hard-earned dollars is look
ing for, and here he gets it, and it
satisfies him above the desire for
larger revenue.
But when it comes to the habit of
saving, the returns of the postal saw
ings banks are not very satisfactory
as to the amounts placed in their
keeping, considering the opportunities
of the American workingman to earn
good wages and TO handle weekly an
abundance of cash in comparison 20
other peoples. If the average Ameri-
can would but learn to save. as, for
instance, the French do, all the money
of the world might be centered right
here in this country, and, what is
more, it would be in the possession
of the plain people.
The French make their savings, big
or little, earn something They rare
ly seek higher interest than is tom-
patible with the security of the princi-
pal. Statistics have shown these many
years past that as a nation they are
the biggest bondholders on earth and

ernment but of those of other nations,
as well. From the peasant up, every

clining days and of dot" saved for
his daughter.
1t is not forgotten that, after the
disastrous war of 1870, the French
government had to pay an indemnity
to Germany of FIVE thousand million
francs, the marvel of the world was
the speed with which this vast amount
was paid over, even far ahead of the
time limit stipulated between the bank
ers of the two nations. Why? The
small man and the farmer went down
into their leans" the women into
their stockings, and, 10 and behold, in
no time to speak of this great sum
of money was liquidated.
Could anything like this be done in
this great in this resourceful country
of ours? 1t is barely probable, be-
cause the average American does not
practice the art of saving, does not
know how to save. And still another
proof in favor of our argument is the
fact that our foreign population is
the biggest depositor in the postal
banks, which, by the way, is very
appreciable sign, as it keeps the sur
plus of the money earned in. this coun

money order business was of tremen-
dous proportions, sending the savings

day of the return of the emigrant.
Up to the time of the establishment
of the postal savings banks there had
been a steady increase of our inter
national money order transactions,
which averaged no less than $1,000
900 year Last year this branch of
our Postofice Department dropped
down to SI2,ooo,ooo, while the deposits
in the postal savings banks have gone
up to S35,ooo.ooo, and the Postmaster
Generals estimate is S5ooooooo for

Our New Tallyrand.

The comparison made by the
plumed knight of Kentucky journalism
who sees in President-elect Wilson a
double" of a famous French states
man and leading Italian patriot, has
called fresh attention to the charac-
teristics of both Tallyra.Id and Carl
baldi. If, as the observant Watterson
asserts, Mr.. Wilson is personally a
Garibaldi, but. intellectually a Tally
rand, what basis exists in historical
facts for this statement unless il be
the paradox of the Italians intre-
pidity and the Frenchman's caution.
Language" remarked the diplomatic
Tallyrand, is given to us for the con-
cealmcnt of thought" and, by 4 nat
ural deduction, the President-elect's
chief characteristics would be found

anything-for time at least-has
distinguished the Presidcnt-clect, it is
the fact that he has spoken right out
in meeting" not only in the direction
of Baltimore last June, and Chicago
more recently, but in such minor mat
tiers as the refusal of an invitation TO
make a preliminary call at the White
House or to participate in our time

1t is quite true that a Tallyrand-like
reserve has been maintained of late
in Mr. Wilson's abstinence from stat
ing his intentions concerning appoint
ments, and this change of policy mat
well support in part the historical

that he will develop into neither a

Years of Guerrilla Warfare

"In effect" he continued, 'the rather

HOUSE.

A fight against the International Water
ways Commission in the House threatened
for time TO cause the abolition OF the
commission, OF which former Represent
ative James a. Tawney Of Minnesota is n
member. Representative Fitzgerald of
New York wanted the appropriation for
the commission transferred from the dip
lomatic appropriation bill to the sundry
civil appropriation bill.
The House refused to do this. In the
course of the debate, Representative
Cooper of Wisconsin charged that the
commission had had only four or five
meetings, but had succeeded in expend-
ing 10000. The commission was warmly
defended by former Speaker Cannon. The
commissions status came before the
House in the course of consideration Of
the diplomatic bill.
Under general debate, Representative
Redfield Of New York and Representative
Olmsted of Pennsylvania argued against
independence for the Philippine Islands,
and Representative Jones of Virginia and
Delegate Quezon were heard in advocacy
of II.
Representative Moore of Pennsylvania
brought the Mexican situation before the
House in a brief speech, in which he
urged that the government insist on re-
dress from Mexico for an indignity COM
mitted against a United States consul at
