HON. JUDsoN HARMON, former attor-
ney general in the Cleveland cabinet,
writes an interesting article in the
Youths Companion on our national ex-
travagance in which he tells some I'M
pleasant truths. He holds that self
denial is fundamental virtue, espec-
tally for all who have their own way to
make in the world The average wages,
salaries and incomes are higher in this
country than in any other, yet our saw
ing banks do not make a creditable
showing. Fourteen countries outrank
ours in proportion of saving accounts
to population, and in thrift we stand at
the bottom of the principal nations.
Of every hundred of our citizens who
die sixty-six leave no estates at all,
only nine have as much as $4,000. and
the average estate of the other twenty
five is less than $1,000. The nation is
now wrought up by preparedness, and
surely the people owe it to the govern
ment to be ready to meet the backfire
of war should it come in the settlement
of the European trouble.

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT seems to think
that the limit for American endurance
of Mexican anarchy has been reached
and passed. He reminded the members
of the Rubber Association Of America
that there was an American rubber en-
terprise in Mexico, but that it has
yielded little or no crude rubber since
Mexico became an international nui-
sance. In response to hearty applause,
Mr.. Taft continued: There is at pres
ent tendency in some circles to min
imize the duty of our government to
protect American investments in for
.eign countries. 1t is of piece with
the general disposition to attack ali
successful use of capital and to create
a prejudice against it for political pur-
poses, a disposition on the part of
muckrakers to denounce men who have
invested capital in foreign countries as
"exploiters. This disposition has in
vaded the field of our foreign policy and
has created there hesitation in pro-
tecting foreign investments by our citi-
zens which are entitled under our con-
stitution to protection because they be-
long to our citizens and are not main
tanned for anything unlawful.

NEXT years Irvine prices, so we are
told by Warden Towne of the state
prison at Waupun, will join the avia-
ton club with other products. Last
years supply of sisel for the prison
Irvine plant was bought for around
seven cents pound. This year the
price on sisel is around fifteen, it is
hard to get, and recent severe storms
in Mexico, where the greater part of
the crop is produced, have cut the crop
badly and lowered the quality of the
fiber. Manila and other Irvine fibers
are sold out and not on the market.
The past year for the prison Irvine
plant has been most successful one,
with total sales of S421, 900.

ACCORDING to the preliminary as
sessment against the railroads of the
state, as made and given out by the
state tax commission, an increase of
$32, Cos, 600 has been made in the valua-
ton of their properties in the state.
The increase will raise the amount of
taxes paid by the railroads about half
a million dollars. The increase is due
to increased growth and worth of rail-
road properties as indicated in the
greater value of their securities.
