passenger terminals IN America astonishes
railroad experts from abroad. The chief
commissioner Of State railways Of Queens
land, Australia, has lately told the Chicago
Engineers Club that our railroads go In
too much for 'silded stairs and marble halls
This criticism Of lavish expenditure on
architecture applies also, In the opinion OF
the Railway Age Gazette, to all the lux
uries of transportation so highly developed
In this country. Our railways, it says, han
die freight cheaper than any other railways
IN the world; and then they turn around
and waste more money in expenditures for
elegances and luxuries in passenger service
In proportion to the amount of their passen-
ger business than any other railways In the
world: IL the public were willing TO pay
tor these things that situation would be
diherent; but IL is not willing to pay for
them and does not do so.'"

South America by reason Of naval battles
along the coast. The strife is 60 titanic that
each day brings news Of conflict from every
part Of the world.
with the antagonists at grips along bat
tie front that aggregates thousands OF miles
and squadrons engaging one another on al
most every sea, 1t Is impossible to expect any
thing approaching uniformity Of results
Neither side can win or lose every engage
ment. In fact there are a half dozen sepa-
rate wars being waged at one time, any one
Of which is sufficiently sanguinary to focus
the worlds attention.
1t Is now hopeless to believe that either
antagonist can speedily or completely wipe
out the other. Victory will probably be de-
termined, not by any one or dozen engage
ments, but by the realization Of one group
OF nations that It cannot AFFORD to proceed
further on account Of casualties, financial
embarrassment or the discomfort of the peo-
pie at home. That Is, the issue will be deter
mined by staying power rather than by
valor, strategy or tactics

First of the Aeronauts

TNHE first of the aeronauts is dead.
J. Samuel King has Joined Darius Green,
though not in the literary Immortality thrust
so unwelcomely upon the man who ventured
too soon to talk of flying machines.
Kings exploits were in the older and
soberer field of ballooning, from which the
title "aeronaut" sprang and to which it has
tenaciously clung. His was the gas bag, not
the plane Back in 1875 he was showing the
Centennial crowds the wonders Of floating
round the heavens, thing as novel then
as motoring through the upper air is today.
In the sere and yellow leaf of his art and his
life, King has departed, doubtless with a last
wondering thought for what the air holds in
its future.

Tariff Held Responsible

From the Baltimore News.
Unless we are willing to accept the pronounce
msnt of yesterday structure upon the Ad-
minlstration's management OF international
affairs particularly in Mexico, or a protest
against some of tho men whom Mr.. Wilson Sc
lected for Cabinet positions and who have not
since won the country's admiration and con-
idence, the tariff must again be held respon-
sible And In any event there can be no thought
that the Democratic economic doctrines have
gained converts by actual test OF their merits.

The Road to Prosperity

From the New York Evening Mail.
The country has turned to the Republican
party to restore prosperity. It has Ignored all
other Issues and with an emphasis that cannot
be misunderstood, has declared its determlna-

Democratic naggng at business.
The condemnation Is nationwide. The East
has voted with the West. and the West with the
East-both with the same firm and unalterable
purpose In mind.
The result means that the battle of 1915 has
begun, and that the Republican party has been
commissioned to undertake it In the name OF
prosperity for the people,
