LOSING A COAL MARKET.

When conditions in the United States are any

thew consume in many directions. This fact is the
basis Of foreign commerce, to develop and protect
which is a prime concern of the nation, so at
this time than at any other time in the history of
the country
Easily among the foremost markets to which
fbe United States should look is Latin America
where busy people fast building up potent ma

Great Britain is snatching important export bust

Here we move out Of the realm OF theory into
the field of fact Coal operation came to virtual
standstin in this country; South America turned
elsewhere. Britain with very low demand at the
moment of her continental markets had the neces-
sary supply and the business is hers to the loss OF
American commerce.

JUSTICE TAFTs MISSION.

Chief Justice Taft has been visiting England. Sc
far the public has been informed his visit to that
country has been In the nature of a vacation from
court duties Only through his reception by the
king and fetng by the nobility and chief officials of
the empire has there come suspicion that he really
had mission to perform At these public functions
utterances have been made by his hosts we'll by
himself which indicate at least that he has been
performing mission OF value to our government
and nation
At one of the functions there came up for discus
sion the attitude of certain senators and represent
atiyes toward Englands obligations to this country.
Mr. Taft said that while he was not authorized to
make any statement, his own private opinion was
that such attitude personal and in no way rep
resented the sentiment of the American people. On
another occasion the eccentricties of Ambassador
Harvey were referred to. and Mr. Taft adroitiy re-
piled that Temporary ebullitons' ought not to be
taken seriously even in England
On several other occasions Mr. Taft treated hght-
" matters that Engshmen had been inclined to re-
card seriously though not lightly as to indicate
that he did not appreciate their seriousness

MAY RELY UPON JAPAN.

Admiral Baron Kato japanese premier, declared
recently that Japan is living up to both the letter
and spirit of the agreements made at the Washing
ton conference This should to quiet the
minds Of a number of people who have been ag-
tated over reports of Japanese naval expansion.
The Japanese leader. who is also head of the navy
department. would hardly make the direct and def
mite assertion unless the facts justify it, for aside
from the matter of personal honor 1t would be
bad policy to practice deception which would GER
tainly be later disclosed There is every reason why
Japan should adhere TO the plans adopted at the
conference on limitation of ornaments
The Japanese people do not like taxes any bet
ter than the rest of us. japanese officialdom can
keep in best standing with the people by making
taxes as low as consistent with public service and
national safety From direction has Japan any
reason to fear foreign aggression and therefore,
there is no reason why large and expensive naval
esta bshment should be maintained. navy ade-
ouate for defense only is all that Japana requires
unless she contemplates aggression, and If her
naval development became such as to arouse suspi-
con as to her purposes, her activities along that
lire would soon defeat its Gown ends. Japan has
nothing to gain in the long run by trying to evade
the spirit or letter of the undertaking entered into
at the Washington conference. Admiral Katos
denial is easily credited.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND TILL
SOUR GRASS.
BY Howard B, CARTS.

"Uncle Wiggily! Uncle Wiggily'
Please don't be in such a hurry
called Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy
to the bunny rabbit gentleman one
morning, as she saw him hopping
down the front steps of his hol-
low stump bungalow.
What is the NATTER" asked Mr..
Longears, as he turned around So
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy could see that
his pink nose was twinkling
straight. Are you coming adj
venturing with me, Janie?"
THANK you-no;-I haven't time
today" answered the muskrat la
dy housekeeper. II just wanted
you to wait until I could ask you
to bring me home some lemons
when you return. Please bring
lemons"
II will" promised Uncle wiggily.
Are you going TO make a pie ?"
No" answered Nurse Jane.
But some of my animal lady
friends are coming to call this
evening" and want to give them
lemonade and cake. So don't for
get the lemons.
"Ill bring them" promised the
bunny uncle. Then away he hop
ped over the fields and through
the woods, saying over and over
to himself, so he would not forget:
Lemons! Lemonsi Lemons!"
Uncle Wiggily hoped along and
along, looking here and there for
adventures. Perhaps it was too
hot for adventures to be out that
day, but 1t may have been that
Uncle Wiggily did not look in the
right places. At any rate, not an
adventure did he find.
True he met a lightning bug who
had been shining all night at a
bull frog gentlemans party, ana
the lightning bug was so tired il
could hardly fly home, so the bun
ny uncle put it in his pocket and
carried it. But that was hardly an
adventure.
what l want is something ex-
cltingv" exclaimed Uncle, Wiggily.
He was back near his own bunga-
low as he said this, for it was late
afternoon and nearly time for tea
And, just as Uncle Wiggily said
he'd like something exciting, there
was a rustling in the weeds near
the old fence.
"Oh, perhaps this is the Woozie
Wolf or the Fuzzy Fox" thought
the bunny. But it was only DR..

EDITORIAL. OF THE DAY
THE ONE NEW ENGLAND RAILROAD
From the New England Homesteadl

(From the New England Homestead)
Every mile Of steam railroad In New England
should be merged into one system. 1t should be
owned by entirely company, in forming
which all the water" be squeezed out. Let
there be no such graft as that planned in recent
notorious steel combination whereby certain in
sders were to get stock for $40 share while
shares of the issue would be unoaded upon
the dear public at $50 per share.
This consolidation should be worked out by a
commission composed of representatives Of the
various interests in each state concerned in trans
portation. Governor Lake has just appointed such
commission in Connecticut but unfortunately
forgot agriculture, which has representative
thereon. Let the governor of each of New
England States guard against this error. The new
corporation to all New England's railways
should have the interests of each State adequately
represented on its directorate. Its headquarters
of course, should be at Boston. with branch Of
flee at Portland, Providence. Springfield and New
Haven.
With proper management the New Engla nd
railways company, will not only be able to serve
New England with maximum efficiency at min
imum cost but also will be able to obtain a fair
price for the sorvices it renders as Eastern ter
minal for Western railroads.

WHY THE DELAY?

More than forty-eght hours after two aged
employees of the Santa Fe railroad were brutaIIv
beaten by gang of hoodums, the guilty persons
have not been apprehended In view of the fact
That the attack occurred in broad daylight and the
persons who were attacked should have been able
to furnish good descriptions of their assailans it
seems strange that the culprits have not been APP
pretended.
This naturally leads to the conclusion that civ
and county officials not cooperating closely
enough with railroad and United States peace Off
GERS not only in affording proper police protection
but in ferreting out and bringing to justice those
who violate the laws of the land. We understand
the county commissioners and Chairman Walton
of the city commission have stated that neither the
county the city has funds available to hire adj
ditional peace officers, although it will be remem-
bered that two of the county commissioners re-
Gently voted to pay gravel bal of So 900 and the
city commissioners, without batting eye, author
lied the purchase OF automobile for the build
ing inspector. But they cannot their way clear
to employ additional help for the purpose of pro-
tecting the lives of innocent people.
The trainers Of the declaration of independence
asserted that all men created equal" Thai
would be slavery to compel them to work if will
otherwise 1t is also ndisputable fact that those
who desire to do so have the right to labor. No
organized minority should be allowed to ieopardze
the entire nation.
We boast that this is free country. But 1t Is
not free when any minority, when any bloc" in
the house senate dictate legislation in the
interests of any part of hundred million people
opposed to the interests of the whole when
any other minority organization attempts to dictate
to the majority.
1t is to be regretted that have had any dis
orders here. We believe that the men who on
strike are, rule, law abiding, However, there
is no reason why, when disorders occur, those who
responsible for them should not be apprehend-
ed and prosecuted, be they strikers others And
it is the duty of county and city officials to that
this is done.
The Journal does not mean to infer that II there
had been strike there would have been assault
in broad daylight. But II there had been strike
and the assault had occurred, arrests would have
promptly followed.

probably been for the best. Both operators and
miners may have gained perspective that was
lacking in the first days of the strike. The coun-
try like the president feels that the time has come
when he shall employ all the means at his disposal
in the interest Of the public.
That the strike should have been prevented in
the first place is the conviction OF many; that the
public interest should continue to suffer, If the gov
eminent has any power of remedy at ALL is highly
repugnant to public long disguised with the sell
fshness of those profitng from general necessity.

II didn't know sour grass grew

leaves, shaped somewhat like the

the sheep sorrel, and he made a
