BURLESON LIKES THE OPEN

The Mexican revolution spoiled for
Postmaster General Burleson the one

iohd Of doing. Previous to the out

In public life of such sustained
activity as his has been. the strain of

gained respite from all such tur-

EDWARDS ON WAR POWER.

General Clarence b. Edwards gives
10 the American public some valuable
information when ne states that the
current school histories convey false
impressions TO the growing children Of
The United States. Where. for instance,
they give those children the idea that
during the Revolution the raw troops of
the American colonies we're more than a
match for the trained troops Of Great
Britain, they give utterly false impress

war bad been officially closed, but he

The truth is that raw troops arc no
match for trained soldiers, and when
raw troops meet raw troops, as at Bull
Run. both speedily become mere mobs
helpless either for defence or ofTense.
Under our lack of military system,
we arc caught at a disadvantage when
ever war breaks out We sacrifice

by the tens of thousands, as the case

THE ROOSEVELT INQUIRY

II is curious 10 sec that Colonel
Roosevelt persists in his statement that
he suppressed the pnnic Of 1907. With
moro plausibility could it be stated that
ne started that panic; in fact, in some
quarters that panic is usually referred
20 as the Roosevelt panic And yet
in his recent examination on this
point. he persisted in mis- old claim that
he stopped the panic. and that the rea

POWER OVER MONEY TRUST.

The questions raised By this hrict
are Of the very highest order. II II
is true that tho people Of the United

the New York Stock Exchange. and

The chief trouble about this so
called money trust investigation is
that it has taken OF the form of po.
ltical partisauship. and that has
aroused political antagonlsIn; but, 81
matter of fact. the committee has
had some absolutely candid and fair
witnesses before it, Take the case
of John p. Morgan; nothing could be
more candid open, and honest than
his answers to the questions asked by
the committee. The ease OF William
Rockefeller is on different basis al
together; as TO him, and all witnesses
like him. there should be summary
power TO compel attendance and tcsti-
mony.
The contention of Col. Bryan that
an investigation held by this Pujo
committee would be iasco is fairly
borne out by the results, But it does
not appear that the committee has
lacked zeal, as Mr.. Bryan thought it
would lack; but the two Houses OF
Congress have refused 10 extend the
power OF the committee according TO
its request. And that is the lnevita-
bic outcome OF any partisan investi-

BANANAS AS FOOD.

From time 10 time we have state
ments about various food products
which Will yield sustenance TO immense
numbers OF people from mere frac-
ton OF the land now devoted 20 crops.
One of the most common suppositions
is that the raising Of bananas is TO ef-
feet large results in the matter Of sup.
plying food to the people of the United
States Bananas can be raised in won
derful quantities on limited tracts Of
ground The facilities for transporta-
tion are now such that bananas can be
distributed all over the United States
in comparatively small periods OF time
and in any desired quantities. The eX-
tent OF the consumption OF bananas in
The United States Is said TO reach six
billion bananas 2 year, or something
like sixty for every man. woman aud
child in this country. The value Of
bananas imported during the fiscal year
ending june 30th, was S5,s77,s3J in
1900; in 1905 il was S9,9S7 ,S21; in 1910
IL was sil,642, ,5o3; in 1912 il was sl4.-

amounting 10 nearly % per cent in the
last two years, and to 1ii per cent in
twelve years.

can no longer rely upon that isolation

II is commonly said that we do not
want TO make ourselves into n military
nation and oppress ourselves with mill
tarv levies and taxation, which is true
enough. We do not want to do IL. But
If IL becomes question whether we
shall do this or be helpless in case OF
serious invasion, the cost of such help
lessress would be immensely more than
the cost of adequate military prepara-
tion
As an example, take the case OF the
war with Spain. Our navy was at a
low ebb, our army was very small.
These facts constituted practically an
invitation 10 Spain to engage in war
against us. Ii we had had an adequate
navy and a fair-sized army, does any
one for n moment imagine that Spain
would have been mad enough to go to
war with the United Statesi
