Not the Men, but the System.

That competition must be maintained
not only by trusts and trade affected
by the tariff, but also in banking and
credit. once more has been demonstrate
cd by the testimony of Mr.. Morgan
and Mr.. Baker before the Pujo COM
mittee. Their revelations. i'll a meas
urc, have been benefcent because they
are bound to force that action which
financial experts and the ablest econo-
mists in Congress have been unable to
accomplish.
Mr.. Wilson can do no better than
grasp the opportunity thus afforded his
new administration and not only re-
wise the tariff, but also the banking and
currency laws. In a country of the
dimensions, needs, and resources of the
United States, not only business but
financial operations OF necessity must
be conducted on a big scale. 1t must

that concentration of capital, of which
one hears so many complaints, perforce
was necessary in some respects. But
like everything else in our pushing,
grasping day, this condition has been
continued lad absurdum" when it is
shown that it is impossible to borrow
for great enterprises, say million of
dollars from more than twelve or thir-
teen banking institutions in this coun-
try.
While the men now on the grill and
who have controlled and do control
large sums have aided in developing
the country, it is certain that national
banks have been used" by them in a
manner not only dangerous, cutting off
the credit of the small man." but also
in direct opposition to the letter and
the spirit of the statutes.
The remedy lies not so much in grill

them TO obtain, as in creating better,
sounder system. There may not be
money trust in the sense implied in
the Pujo investigations, but Mr.. Baker
has strengthened that impression al
ready fixed upon the public conscious
ness by Mr., Morgan's previous state
ments that a power of control is vest
ed in a few men over the sources OF
credit of this nation and over the great
industries and public utilities
For some forty years Mr.. Baker has
been a dominating force in a great
national bank and other institutions
affiliated with it either by actual stock
ownership or by that Community of
interests" which is so potent force
in the world of finance The public
was amazed to learn that in this period
and with an original capital of $780,
900 (since expanded to 100000 by
the simple process of adding earned
but undistributed dividends to the
amount of So,5ooooo) the bank in
question has made profits of more than
100000 In the past four years
alone its dividends were more than
twice its entire capital (z26 per cent?
a significant feature being that the
dividends were larger in the years fol-
lowing panic conditions
Mr.. Baker also admitted the organi-
cation of a security company by his
bank, identical with it in everything
but the name, for the transaction of
business forbidden the bank by the
Federal banking laws. If one bank in
so short period can earn such profits
it is evident that somebody must have
paid for them. These profits were
tax on the business of the country,
they entered into the cost of public
utilities and of every industry.
If single bank can take such tolls.
what must be the aggregate, based
upon such a system?

The First Line of Defense.

Secretary Meyers recommendation
for the authorization OF three new bat
tleships, a dozen torpedo-boat destroy
ers, an ammunition ship, and several
gunboats brings up again the question
of what the Democrats will do for the
national defense.
The problem of naval increase last
year was made the football of politics
Enraged at the refusal of their lead
ers to permit a saturnalia of pork,
a small but active group in the Demo
cratic caucus proposed a no public
buildings-no battleships' resolution and
carried il.
The proposition was too raw for the
country. This negative log-rolling
failed to appeal to the press. The Sen
ate authorized one new battleship, and
the House was compelled, by pressure
of public sentiment, to agree. One bat
tleship was better than none, but two
were needed last year in the opinion
OF Admiral Dewey and the officers oil
the general board-men who have spent
their lives in the study of naval sci
ence.
In order that the feet may be kept
up to the strength deemed adequate by
the Navy Department for the protec-
ton OF the coasts and commerce OF
the United States, Mr.. Meyer has rec
commended the authorization of three
new battlcships this year instead of the
two usually asked for.
The lessons OF last years battle
ship fight when considerable element,
headed by Representative William Sui
ger of New York, disregardcd the eau
Gus, are apparent in a Democratic re-
luctance TO permit the question again
to be passed upon by the caucus. This
is right. The navy is not and should
not be in politics The Democrats now
about 10 assume office will find that
a fleet is as necessary to back up the
foreign policies of a Wilson as a
Roosevelt.
The recommendations for more tor
pedo-boat destroyers presumably will
be adopted without dispute. The ca
liabilities OF these swift craft have been
greatly expanded during recent maneu-
vers. Not only for torpedo attack, but
defense as well. and for mining tactics
of vast moral effect they are invalu-
able The fleet now has too few of
them. Gunboats are indispensable for
Central American duty. The battle
ship New Hampshire was ordered TO
Santo Domingo the other day to make
show of American authority at a
critical moment. A small cruiser or
gunboat would have done the trick as
we'll. and far more cheaply, but none
was available. The ammunition ship
is a much-needed fleet auxiliary. 1t
would be interesting to know why Sec
retary Never recommended no golfers
or oil tankers. The American navy
has long been deficient in fuel ships.
and the Navy Department too prone
to make their authorization secondary
consideration to fighting ships

Abolish Discrimination.

Senator Root of New York has in
auguratcd a fight for repeal of the pro-
vision of the Panama Canal act which
eNemptS American coastwiSe shipping
from the payment OF Panama Canal
tolls. He believes that discrimination
in favor OF our own shipping violates
both letter and spirit of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty To him the proper
way .out of the difficulty created by
Great Britains objection to this dis
elimination is to repeal the obnoxious
clause. He will address the Senate on
his resolution OF repeal on January 81.
A masterful discussion of the issue
may be looked for. Senator Root
stands second to no man in his broad
grasp OF international relations, and
his fine perception OF the niceties of
national honor. He will have the sup
port of two classes in the Senate
Those who believe that the Hay
Pauncefote treaty guarantees equal
treatment of all nations, including our
selves, will be glad to have another
opportunity to shape the law to their
Interpretation.
Those who believe that the coast
wise shipping will benefit more than
any other interest from the existence
of the canal, and therefore should bear
part of its maintenance cost, will
likewise vote for Senator Roots rcso-
luton.
The coastwisc shipping already con-
stitutcs monopoly in this country.
1t is closed to foreign-built ships. I'm
der the exemption clause American
vessels in the foreign trade will have
10 pay at Panama the same tolls as
any foreign ship. but the ships en-
gagged in the coastwisc trade will go
through without the payment of even
cent I ton.
Secretary Stimson and Prof. Emory
Johnson. the tolls expert of the War
Department, regard this as a subsidy
for the coastwise shipping. rs it de-
served" they ask The Democrats
have declared themselves. Their Bal
iimore platform Endorsed the principle
OF exemption of coastwise shipping
from tolls Even those who, at heart,
question the advisability of cxempting
the coastwise shipping feel indisposed
to go smashing the platform thus early
in the game
The President-elect refrained from
committing himself definitely on this
point in his speech of acceptance His
attitude will have considerable effect if
the resolution of repeal is pending after
he comes to office 1t is hardly to
be expected that Mr.. Root can get his
resolution through before March 4 1t
is such an easy thing to oppose with
jingoism. Whatever the result a dis
cussion, led by such an able Senator as
Elihu Root, will be we'll worth while.
The Panama Canal act was one of the
most hastily enacted. lily considered
measures that has received the ap-
proval of the President in recent years.

DOLL-MAKING AN INDIAN ART
Marvellous Miniatures Are Those
Turned Out by Clever Aborig-
ines of Mexico.

It is thought that the tiniest dolls
are those made by Mexican Indians.
They are barely three-fourths of an
inch long in many cases, but are new
ertheless perfect in detail.
The method of manufacture is as
follows: First there is a diminutlve
framework of wire. This is then wound
with fine silk thread until the proper
figure has been secured. The 0 S
tunes are then cut according to the
character of the doll, and fitted to it.
With needles that car scarcely be
held in the fingers, needles of which
the eyes are almost invisible, various
designs are embroidered on the dolls
clothes with the finest of silk threads.
So cleverly do the Indians execute
these designs that even through O.
powerful glass the details appear to
be perfect, although the work is acs
complished without the aid of any
-enlarging device.
Once properly dressed, the doll is
given it's hair. Even to the details
of braids and ribbons this work is
carried out. Then there are formed
the eyes, nose, mouth, hands n
feet.
In Mexico these dolls are sold for
ridiculously small sums. 1t takes about
two hours of painstaking labor to
make one of the simplest of the man.
ikins.
Some dolls are provided with tiny
baskets of flowers, fancy sombreros,
water jars and other paraphernalia.
The baskets are made of hair by the
Indians of Guanajuato. The bits OF
pottery are made of clay, in exact i'm
itation of the practical sites. All these
accessories are sewed to the dolls.
Miniature roses are embroidered in
the costumes of the dancing girls and
ornaments are arranged in their hair.
Wreaths of flowers are hung about the
shoulders and the arms are formed In
graceful and life-like attitudes Of dane
ing. The matador is complete In
every particular-his costume being
gayly decorated in many colors, the
hair dressed in true Spanish fashion,
including the conventional queue.
