MolIycOddie Government.

from the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
Mollycoddle government means no
government at all, but disaffection,
rebellion and eventual chaos This
IS as true in democracy as in other
forms OF government. Republicanism
does not mean timidity in the enforce
ment Of the law, but rather full lib
erty in the people to determine what
the law shall be. We are not In
ciined to take too seriously reports
Of disturbances and conspiracies in
the Philippines, but it is apparent that
rhe platitudes of Washington, re-
peated and taken seriously in the
islands, have already had the effect
that every student Of conditions there
predicted months ago. Some Of our
politicians have managed to convince
the Filipinos that our rule is a tyr
annous thing, which no noble people
would endure, and they have preached
the doctrine of naturalization until
they have actually succeeded in incul-
eating in that semi-barbarous popu-
1ation the seed of rebellion.

Extend Credit Cautiously.

1t is just as we'll that the Ameri-
can manufacturers do not attempt to
do business with the retailers in
South America at first, for the re-
tailers' credit standing is precarioue
and somewhat complicated. There
are several classes of merchants to
whom merchandise can be sold with
safety and with due regard for future
business. There is the native whole
saler, the importer of European mer-
chandise, the branch European house,
the manufacturers agent and the i'm
porting retailer. The native whole
saler, wherever he exists. should be
encouraged to buy American mer-
chandise rather than European. The
ordinary importer the branch Euro
pean house or the manufacturers
agent are tied up to certain European
concerns who have been Financing
them with merchandise so that they
in turn may finance with the same
merchandise the retailers. These
people have all been hindered in their
source of supplies by the war and will
gladly use American merchandise to
supply their customers needs where
their own shipments fall short, pro-
vided the price and terms are right.
vestigated and their standing easily
determined. Those in business for a
long period and who have weathered
the storm of the past few years can
be considered good risks. all other
reports being favorable. These people
have their regular customers and can
place American goods easily over
great territory, but it must be borne
in mind that just as soon as their
European sources of supplies are I'M
sealed they will throw over the Amer
lean goods for their old friends and
hackers Let the American manu-
facturer establish his trade mark
firmly and by that time the retail
situation will have adjusted itself and
if the tug of war comes, the Ameri-
can manufacturer can go direct to
the retailer being then in a better po-
sition than the European whose home
office has to face increased operating
expenses due to the wars waste. AS
explained before, so per cent. of South
Americas business can be handled
from three points. Rio, Buenos Ayres

The Gun in Careless Hands.
From the Pittsburgh Post.
On reading that from thirty to forty
hunters have been killed and hun
dreds of others injured, some of them
seriously, in Pennsylvania this sea-
son, the first casual reflection is that
the hunters license law has failed to
solve its problems. At the start II
must be stated that the law in ques-
ton, assuming that the hunter may
reasonably be expected to have care
for himself and other human beings,
directs itself rather to protecting and
increasing the supply OF game. To-
ward that end it has been eminently
successful, and careful examination
of the facts will show that 1t also may
be credited with having kept down
the number of mishaps to hunters.
With game increasing steadily, hunt
ing was ne.e better in this State
than now, and more hunters are at
tracted to the woods. In the end 1t
may be found, as usual, that the
cause of these tragedies is beyond
law; that every one of them was due
to . carelessness whtch ignored all

precautions and which could be con-
trolled only by depriving certain in
dividuals of their constitutional rights
of liberty. But suppose every hunter
applying for license had to undergo
a physical and mental examination,
and if he showed a disposition to
nervousness or absent -mtndedness the
permit was withheld?

A New Type Of Lobbyist.
rom the Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There is a call for new kind OF
lobbying The old kind has lost IA
vor; in many States 1t has been
definitely outlawed. The old-time
lobbyist is scorned, even If he isn't
arrested. And the fault was his own,
OF course. But for legitimate lobby
ing there is still a demand. People
want to know what is going on in
their legislature; they want to exert
influence for and against important
measures as they arise. Manifestly.
they cannot go personally to inter-
view their representatives. They
need agents, go-betweens, who have
time to attend sessions, to talk to
members and urge the claims of
their constituents. And such an
agent becomes a lobbyist. So there
Is place and a demand for legiti-
mate lobbying. But 1t must be con-
Quoted along new lines.

How and to Whom Shall Sell ,

Satisfied that he can compete with
Europe in merchandise as to quality
and price, the packing requirements
can be adapted to South American
needs, and the shipping and banking
facilities being equal, the American
manufacturer balks at the usual
credit terms prevailing.
II sell on thirty days net in this
country, with per cent for cash, tell
days, so why should I wait three and
six months for my money?p he de-
murs. Besides, what do | know
about Gonzales or Martinez away
there among those half breeds? 1
don't know whether they'll ever show
up after they once get their hands on
the goods-they may fade away into
the Jungle"
Now, this may seem exaggerated,
hut it is practically the language Of
many manufacturers discussing the
South American trade. They speak
without knowledge of actual condi-
tions and imagine the country a
desert wild, forgetting Buenos Aires
has a population of 1,500, 900 persons,
with one bank having deposits larger
than anything In New York; with an
opera house superior to anything on
the continent and the country has
nearly 10000 miles of railroad In
some respects the South American
countries are further advanced than
we are-the day of revolutions has
passed away, insofar as Argentine is
concerned. A foolish American started
for Brazil to organize a revolution,
gathered around him a few hundred
equally as foolish persons. The au-
thorities took them In charge. laughed
