had occurred to nobody who has left
us a record of his aspirations. On
the other hand, the Australian col
onies have been brought together in
a splendid federation, based on the
plan of our American Union, but
more modern, workable, and prac-
tical.
Australia, in its first 126 years,
has found out what its resources are,
and has magnifcently developed
many of them. At the corresponding
period of our settlement, this coun-
try had not discovered that it con-
tanned gold. Australia has been one
of the worlds chief sources of gold
for generations.
In short, Australian progress has
been tremendously more rapid than
was that of the North American col
onies in the same period; and it may
fairly be expected that the next CEN
tury will see Australia go forward
with the leaps and bounds that mark
ed American progress after our Con-
stitution was adopted and made a
great conscious nation where before
had been some discovered and I'M
sympathetic colonies.

line suggested has been made al
ready. While the tendency has not
reached many of the school books,
there has been n disposition for
years on the part of American writ
ers Of important historical works to
abandon the theory of the oppressor
and the oppressed in their chapters
on the Revolution. They are bring
ing out the strong defense of the
American viewpoint by many Of the
English statesmen of 1765-1775 and
the comparative insignifcance of the
taxes imposed upon the colonies. The
Revolution is being treated more as
an inevitable sundering of economic
ties. Facts are being produced to
show the strength of the Tory SEN
timert in America.
This, of course, impairs not one
whit the credit due the colonists. It
merely represents the altered view
point of nearly $50 years after.
Perhaps we shall have another
change of focus in time. The vision
of history has shown some startling
realignments. These, however, are
usually the product Of evolution,
and the attempt to control them by
outbursts of good feeling in the CEN
tennial year is not likely to have q
permanent effect.

Yellow peril alarmists will do well
TO bear in mind that the disorder in
Tokyo indicates division of the jap
anese people in time of peace only.
They have had their mobs and even
civil wars before, but when hostili-
ties with foreign nation break out
they are on the firing line as if they
had dwelt in brotherly love all their
lives. Japan in peace has never
given much concern to the world.
Her economic power is far inferior
to China's, although she knows bet
ter how to use it. It is the Japan in
the trenches and on the battleships
that has distressed Mr.. Hobson and
his kind, and this Japan, in the event
of another war, would probably be as
much of a unit as ever.

AUSTRALIA'S FUTURE.

The 126th anniversary of the first
permanent settlement of Australia
was recently celebrated in London.
Australia is about the size of the
United States, but vastly more re-
mote from the big, populous coun-
tries of Occidental civilization.
Therefore, it is interesting to COM
pare the Australian development of
today with the conditions in this
continent at the end of the first 126
years after permanent settlement
had been effected.
Assuming that the first settlement
was at jamestown in 1907, then 126
years from that date would have
been 1888. How did the American
colonies of 1913 compare with Aus
tralia Of today?
The answer suggests how mis-
taken we are in the common as
sumption that Australian develop
ment has been slow. 1t has been, in
stead, very rapid.
Australia contains some six mil
lions of people; some of the finest
cities in the world; remarkably in
telligent, advanced, and cosmopolitan
population; is very wealthy, and has
institutions that compare with those
of any Of the older countries.
Canada has been settled more than
twice as long as Australia, and has
had the advantage of being the next
door neighbor to the United States.
Yet its population has but a little
outrun that of Australia.
Our own country, when the first
126 years had elapsed after the first
settlement, had possibly one-fourth
the population Australia now has.
its wealth could not have been more
than a pitiful fraction Of that boast
ed by Australia. The conception of
national station and dignity, which
is firmly fixed in Australia, had not
begun to6Pe implanted. The idea OF

THE MONROE INQUIRY.

SRicter regulation of traffic along
the coastwise lanes of ocean travel
IS expected to result from the Fed
eral investigation of the sinking Of
the steamer Monroe. The captains
of the vessels in the collision are go
ing into the whole mater very fully,
and their testimony will be as use
ful IN devising ways of preventing
future accidents as in fixing blame
for the sea tragedy off Virginia.
The loss of the Titanic shocked the
world into demanding and getting
not only more lifebosts on ocean
steamships, but better safety provi-
sions of every sort. Similarly the
loss of the Monroe should safeguard
crews and passengers of ships en-
gagged in the coastwise trade.

STRENGTH OF A BOSS. "

A New York tenement house went
up IN flames in the early morning,
when the thermometer vas lowering
around the zero mark. Murphy, of
Tammapy, was passing with some
political friends. With them at his
heels, he ran into the house, climbed
the top floor, routed out the fam
es sleeping in the path of the
aames, and herded them into a res
aurant near by, where he provided
le half-frozen victims of the fire
'.ith sandwiches and hot coffee.
This is the best answer to the old
question of "why is boss"
Needless to say, everybody who
lived in the tenement, their friends
and their friends friends, are con-
WINGED today that New York's saliva
tion depends upon the political well
being of Charles F. Murphy. There
isn't a reformer in the world who
could shake these peoples faith.
We have many Murphvs-and
more refo-mers. The reformers won
DER why the old "bosses" who have
exploited the people for as many
years as they have governed them
hold a life tenure upon popular re-
gard. Acts like Murphy's are the
answer. Some Of our reformers,
good men but unskilled in the deep
GENE of politics, might learn from
Murphy and his kind.

HISTORY TO ORDER.

Along with the preparations for
the celebration of the centenary Of
peace between England and America
comes the suggestion that interna-
tional history in the school books
used by both nations be revised. At
a meeting in London a short time
ago an English speaker proposed
that the Revolution be dwelt upon
less in American books and an
American speaker advocated more
fairness to his country in those pub
lished in England.
The project may seem chimcrical
at arst blush, but, as a matter Of
fact, not little change along the

RATES BY LEGISLATION.

II congress is competent Co make
rates, zones, weight limits, and other
detailed regulations for the parcel
post, why doesn't Congress make a
schedule of rates for the railroads
and another for the express COM
panies? ....-.-.- ... . .-'
Nothing could be more ridiculous
than to contemplate Congress sitting
solemnly down to make a schedule of
freight rates for this nation. It
would take Congress about a million
years and when it got done the thing
would not work. Of course it
wouldn't. No such Legislative product
ever did work. Governments have
made parcel post rates by legisla-
tion, and they have never been sue
cessful. Invariably, so long as law
made rates were in operation the
parcel post was a failure.
When our parcel post was created
Just little less than year ago this
fact was duly recognized, and wise
provision was made by which these
regulations were placed under an ad-
ministrative authority. Moreover,
that provision required that the pos
tai authorities should act in conjync-
ton with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, so that there could be
the least possible ground for COM
plant that inexperr or ill-advised &C
ton should be taken. II that COM
bination Of information and intelli-
gence is not equipped to handle such
an administrative function, what ore
would be?
Yet in the face of this so recent
determination of the matter, and
while the rates now in effect are
necessarily more or less tentative
and experimental, it is now proposed
to freeze the whole experimental
fabric solid and hard, to make read
justment and reorganization impos-
sible, by inserting joker in the ap-
preparation measure that will pro-
hibit further changes of rates, etc,
except by law.
This performance is fatty charac-
terized by the friends of the parcel
post as betrayal of the law and
the whole parcel post system. The
characterization does not seem too
harsh. Congressman Lewis, in an
interview in another place in this
paper, discusses the reasons why the
present method of administrative
control should be continued; and his
statement of the case seems conclu-
sive. 1t was the very statement that
convinced Congress a little more
than year ago; it is just as reason
able now as it was then, ard it has
been strengthened by the experience
of the first year of the parcel posts
operation.
1t is impossible to believe that
Congress will permit the destruction
of the magnificent parcel post facil-
ity, just in its infancy, by adopting
any such provision. The friends of
parcel post are already alive to the
danger, and the whole situation is
going to be thoroughly aired.
