Blame Rests on Republicans.

When Republicans who dislike the
pending bills for the revival of the
merchant marine accuse the Demo-
Gratis of incompetence in dealing with
this question, they betray colossal
nerve. 1t is a matter of historical rec
ord that in the days when the Demo-
Gratis and Wings divided the control Of
Government-that is, from about 1915
to 1S61-American shipping enjoyed
its period Of greatest prosperity and
did large part of the carrying trade
Of the world. 1t was with the advent
of Republicanism and extreme protec-
tive tariff views that the decline in
our merchant marine began, and it has
continued ever since. Possibly the
Democrats may blunder in their legis-
lation. 1t is impossible, however, that
they make such a mess of it as the Re-
publicans have done.

Business Waits on War.

Business men are looking forward

That anything but a peaceable settle;
ment would be reached was thought:
to be beyond the pale of possibility, ,,

money would be universal European

sequences.
That the dangers of the situation
were minimized in this country has,
been shown by subsequent events.

developed through hundreds of years,

chaos, and the delicate fabric of inter-
national banking and foreign exchanges
slowly woven by generations of bank

REVENUE SHUT OFF.
European Crisis Has Shown the
Weakness of Tariffs.
System Which Allows Foreign War
to Deprive Country of Needed Taxes !,
Surely Unsatisfactory-Inh
itance Tax as Substitute.

The last few weeks have proved.
hat, under modern conditions, no tar
IF can provide national revenue dur;
ing a general war.
The United States is at peace. ItsI
tranquility is not even threatened!
Not shot has been fired in anger,
On this side of the water. The near
est first-class fighting is 5000 miles
away. Yet the nation is in the grip;
Of blockade. Foreign commerce has
ceased. Imports have stopped, with
them has stopped the revenue de-
rived from duties on imports, and thei
country is obliged to look about for:
other ways and means of raising mon;
ey to run the government
1t is not a question Of high tariff
versus low. 1t Is problem presented,
by the absence of imports on which,
any tariff can be collected. The high.
est schedules ever devised in the cita-.
dels Of protection would be Of no use
in this crisis. One hundred per cent.
Of nothing is exactly the same as 10
per cent. At time like the present.
the Payne-Aldrich abomination would;
not yield a dollar more revenue than;
the modest duties with which, this
country began housekeeping in Wash,
fngton's first term.
1t would seem that this is a good
time to bring forward once more the
plan of federal inheritance tax. No;
other impost Is SO sure, so just, So
easily collected, so undisturbed by for-i
eign complications. ..a
However that may be, there is mo-
doubt that this crisis has given a;
blow to all tariffs, low as we'll as high.
Revenues that can be cut off by a.
war on the other side of the globe
are rather unsatisfactory source of
income for a great nation.

WHALES GOOD TO- EAT
Message of Hope From North as
Meat Prices Soar.
American Consul at Vancouver De-
clares Flesh of the Monster of Deep
Is Both PaIatabIe and Whole
some-Has "Nutty" Taste.

Philadelphia. - Housekeepers, take
comfort! Just as the price of beef
IS soaring skyward, and the cost of
nigh living Is driving many to distrac-
ton, comes a message of hope that
whale is good eating. that there is an
unlimited supply in the ocean, and
that the monster of the deep is mar
ketable, and could be put up in cans
Just like salmon or sardines.
The suggestion has official sanction.
1t comes from R. E. Mansfield, Amer
lean consul general at Vancouver,
british Columbia, in a report to the
state department. He asserts that
whale meat is both palatable and
healthful. The general use Of whale
meat, he says, would build I'D an
important industry. He suggests the
salmon canneries of the Pacific coast
might add the business of canning
whale meat when the summer catch
or salmon has been canned.
William E. Mehan, former state fish
commissioner, and now director of the
aquarium In Paramount park, thinks
the suggestion, coming from such an
ofnclal source, ought to be practicable
The Eskimos, Mr. Meehan says, eat
whale meat and like it. and he him
self, when on the Peary relief expe-
dltion in 1892, ate the skin of the nor
whal, relative Of the whale.
Il ate it out Of curiosity" he said
The natives are very fond of it. l
ate it raw. 1t had rather a nutty
flavor.
There Is lot Of fish and so-called
nsh that are edible, though not COM
monty known to the people, as food.
For instance, the dog shark, the skate,
and the ray. They are commonly
classed among fishes and are very good
eating. They are cold.blooded, but
are separated from true fishes because
they have cartilaginous skeleton in
stead OF bony skeleton, which is one
of the features of true fish.
The meat Of the skate and the ray
Is as delicate as that of founder,
especially the part commonly called
the wings They have a pretty good
sale now in New York and New Or
leans. particularly among the French
and the descendants of the French.
1heIe are lou OIL Things tnat are
edible and that people are passing
by as no good. But we will come to
eat them in time. Among the things
long thought worthless as food, but
are now considered fine, is sturgeon.
Thirty-five years ago the flesh of the
sturgeon was not believed to be fit to
eat by the majority of persons. The
only part they esteemed was the cav
lar, or eggs. Now smoked sturgeon
fish is regarded as a great delicacy.
and brings very high price in the
market. 1t sells for 35 cents a pound,
and even more at times.
Il see no reason why whale should
not be marketable. The Eskimos eat
it. 1t is not fish. Whales are nam.
mails and warm blooded."

Country With the President.

Republican chairmen Of seven states,
In conference at Chicago, issued a
statement predicting Republican gains
this year in their states big enough to
give control Of congress to the Repub-
Leans "if the same ratio were to pre-
vail throughout the country" The
same ratio" will not prevail through
out the country. Moreover, it is un-
likely that the predictions as to gains
in their own states will be realized.

Maya tribes were beaten one by one.
1t is significant that as late as 1900
! there was organized Indian opposi-
ton to Mexico. In that year the Next
can troops took the citadel of Chan
santa Cruz at the end of long, hard
campaign.
President Wilson's hope in resur-
,recting the Mexican Indians lies in a
belief that with a restoration of their
land their lost qualities will return
With his land gone the Indian has be-
come peon, a, degraded laborer. With
land, he Is represented to have been
a contented cottager, fairly virtuous
and deeply religious.
With restoration of his lands, how
will it be with the Indian? That is
the great riddle of Mexico.
To get an idea Of the best that NAV
be hoped one might turn to the pages
OF Diego Duran, the Spanish mission
airy. who wrote sixty years after the
conquest:
There was never a nation in the
world where harmony, order and DO
likeness reigned so supreme as in this
neathen nation. In what country of
the globe were there ever SO MANY
laws and regulations of the state at
once so Just and so we'll appointed !?
Where have kings ever been SO feared
and obeyed, their laws and orders so
well observed as 10 this land?
TN regard indeed to their laws and
ancient mode Of living all is much
changed or wholly lost. Nothing but
shadow remains now OF that good or.
der Our admiration is compelled by
the strict account and census which
they kept of all persons in town or
country, who were by this means to
be called upon for help in anything
they might be ordered to do. They
had their presidents and chiefs and
lesser authorities to look after the old
or the married, or the young about to
be married, with such system and or
der that not even the newly born es
capped their notice
SO thorough was their superjntsn.
dence OF public works, that the man
who labored one week was not al.
lowed to present himself for toll tho

much harmony and order to the end
that nobody might feel aggrieved."

MEXICAN REPUBLIC
CONTAINS MILLIONS
OF INDIAN RAGE.
Problem More Complex Than
That Which Confronted U. S.
MANY INTELLIGENT TRIBES
Some Are Still In State Of Primitive
Savasery, While Others Have Fol-
lowed the Ways Of the White
Man.

New York.-Mexico's Indians pre-
sent a problem vastly more difficult
and more complex than any the Uni
ted States bureau of Indian affairs
ever tried to handle, says a. writer in
the New York Sun. In the first place
there are more of them.
There are now 100000 Indians in the
United States, while there are more
than 100000 pure blood Indians be-
tween the Rio Grande and Guatemala
besides a larger number of mestizos,
Or mixed bloods. ..
According to the best figures obtain
Mexico (about 100000 souls) are
wholly or partly Of Indian blood. This
Is SO times as many Indians as are
now living in the United States.
Moreover, the Indians of Mexico
have been more conspicuous in public
affairs than the Indians of the United
States. Benito Juarez, the Mexican
patriot who overthrow the Emperor
Macmillan, was pure Zapotec. Man
nel Altamirano, the Mexican author
and critic; Huerta and DR.. Urrutia
are other Indians.
The prominence which things Indian
have in Mexico is difficult for the New
Yorker who has never travelled in that
land to comprehend. The Mexicans
hold an annual national festival in
honor of their aboriginal heroes, de-
spite the fact that the dominant ele-
ment in the population is the strain
descended from the Spanish conquer.
DTS. The Mexicans are as proud of
Montezuma and Guatemotzin as the
Americans are of the signers Of the
DECLARATION of Independence.
Even the national seal comes from
the Aztecs, who, tradition says, were
induced to settle on the marshy islets
which are now the City of Mexico by
sign from their gods, an eagle
perched on prickly pear strangling
serpent.
Scholars have declared the Aztecs
calendar system was superior to that
in vogue in Europe at the time of Cor
tez- The Mayas of Yucatan are held
by some students to have been even
further advanced than the inhabitants
Of the Valley of Anahuac, or Mexico.
But the intelligence of certain In
1ians only emphasizes the completely
Of the Mexican Indian problem. One
student of the. languages Of Mexico,
which correspond pretty we'll with the
tribal divisions, concludes there are IT
families of tongues and $50 dialects
These dialects are not slight varia-
tons, however, but present differences
80 great that man knowing only one
dialect probably could not understand
4 man speaking an allied dialect. The
mountainous character of the country
has kept tribes apart and emphasized
heir differences. Association in Mex
leo does not always mean the melting
pot, however. One finds sometimes

primitive weapons are even used by
irregular hands assisting the constitu-
tionalists. ......
1t must be remembered. too. that the
punitive expeditions of Porfirio Diaz
were never SO extensive or effective as
the expeditions undertaken in our In
dian wars. Had the Indians stuck to-
gether Cortez might never have con-
quered them. In Spanish times the
tribes were gradually subdued The
