PRACTICAL OR THEORETICAL.

Gradually the time is approaching when the decision of the interstate commerce commission concerning the question of permitting a change in the freight rates of the railroads of the east can be expected and as it draws near it becomes evident that the roads reed more money for their oper- ation as a business proposition. This
 is admitted even by the counsel for the commission, but whether the roads will be permitted to get it through the desired raise in rates or have imposed
 upon them the burden of getting it by the manner suggested by Counsel Brandeis-through increased efficiency in operatien-increases the interest in
 the matter under consideration. It
 becomes a question whether greater
 weight will be given to the statements which have been made by the roads
 fn which they have demonstrated that they need more income, and which
 has been sadmitted by the opposing counsel, or whether it will be the the- oreticai position taken by MT. Bran-
 deis which will get the decision.
 That the introduction of efficiency and the stopping of many leaks would be to the advantage of railroads in general cannot be questioned. and steps have been taken by the roads for the securing of such benefits, but it has not been shown that by this method alone the existing situation could be properly relieved. It is a, its best only theoretical solution which is bound to have uncertain re- suits and in the meantime the bus- mess of the roads and of the country hang in the balance.

In the course of year there are many weak and amusing measures in troduced in state and national legis- laturea. but If submitted to popular vote there is but little doubt that the resolution which has been introduced by Senator Poindexter of Washington would get the first prize as such.

Copenhagen. Whatever Is the outcosne. though there cannot be any serious doubt ss to where it will end. it is evident that Dr. Cook has made a convert of Senator Poindexter.

DON'T WANT MEXICO.

IL seems almost impossible to sup press the talk and the urging which is going on in behalf of the annexa- ton of Mexico and the extension of our boundary to the canal, despite the declaration of tlse administration that there Is no thought of aggrandizcment or aggression. What this country de- sires Is the establishment of peace in the republic to the south and 1t Is willing to do aii that it can to help bring 1t about. but as for taking over Mexico. though 1t might be the best thing which could happen to that country and its people. 1t is not to be thought of.
 We have had enough experience with such problems as would be en- countered in Mexico, and are bound to have them on our hands for many years to come in the Philippines wdth- out atteuspting any more, and Mexico would offer the same burdens if not worse than did tho islands of the Pa- cific. The policy of this country is not to broaden it's territorial limits such as would result through annexation and it isn't seeking to establish a pro- tectoFate over that republic though 1t is anxious to encourage those people to follow out under it's influence and assistance the good ideas and plans which have been put in operation in the Philippines.
 Ninety five per cent. of Mexice's pop ulation is tiiiterate. They are capable of being educated and they will be educated In time if the right influences are set at work. but until such forces ara started little change can be ex- pected We can and should give our aid to helping the republic get what it lacks. but to attempt to do more would not only create friction, but world.
