The Execution of Term.
Alfonso' J summary execution of
Prof. Ferrer in the face of protests
from various European centers, which
Included warnings of his own personal
doom, shows again the ready fearless
ness of the Spanish monarch In
handling a desperate situation. His
display of courage In pursuing bis pol
icy, no matter how determined and
dangerous the opposition, was prob
ably intended to avert the threatened
crisis, though late reports Indicate
that the furore is spreading. The ef
fort of Franco to make of the affair
not her Dreyfus case, the rlotois ap
peals from the masses in Rome, the
heartrending loyalty of the con
demned man's daughter, alike found
the king unflinching In offering up the
liberal schoolmaster as an example to
the Harcelona rioters.
Inabtuuch as the sentiment aroused
abroad was that of the liberal element,
the first uvtural conclusion wodld be
that America would share In tho hos
tility to the Idea of executing Ferrer,
for he was first of all the progressive
schoolmaster, and It was Emerson who
proclaimed that "every child shall
have Its school." But Ferrer was not
content to raise the schools of Bpatn
to a modern standard. Had he been
convicted simply of liberal education
for the youth of the land, it Is unlikely
that his life would have been for
feited; with all his -fearlessness, Al
fonso would hardly have dared do that
InjnMlce. But Ferrer went further.
The opposition which his schooia en
countered from church and state cult!-.
vated all the inherent revolutionary
depths of his nature, and the man who
ad begun public life as the private
secretary, of. Zorllla, the Spanish re
publican leader, developed Into an
opt'ii and violent agitator for -oforms
which struck at the throne. It was
because of this antagonism that he
was tried for complicity in the at
tempted assassination of the? king.' On
that occasion the intervention of the
enlightened sentiment of Europe pre
vented his summary imprisonment
nd his acquittal followed. The trial
that led to his execution for his share
n inspiring the Barcelona riots was
an open courtmartlal, and In the face
of the evidence adduced there was no
escaping the sentence. He fell a mar
tyr to mixed free thought Ideas of lib
erty such aa were not entirely con
tlstent with American, ideas of Inde
pendence, yet liberal Americana will
consider him a martyr for all i.hat, as
do the free thinkers of .Europe.
Now every center of old world un
rest Is predicting dire things for the
SpanlBh dynasty. The name of the ex
ecuted fighting schoolmaster of Spain
Is being used as a rallying cry for all
the resources of socialism and an
archy. Loyal Spain is apprehensive
for the monarchy, aware of tho crip
pled condition of tho king's forces,
already weakened by the drafts of the
unpopular Moorish warfare. Alfonso
Is in personal peril and his throne
faces crisis. However else Ameri
cans may bestow their sympathies In
tho situation, they cannpt but feel for
the English girl -who is his consort,
and who, under like conditions, when
assassins made her nuptial processloD
grim with blood, showed , the world
how true a woman sh3;was anl how
real a queen. -iv'
Japan and the Pacific
While the visit of the Japanese
financiers, headed by Baron Shlbu
sawa, is ostensibly to cultivate com
merce between Japan and the United
States, that Is an open warning which
the baron is reported to have uttered
in New York, that . with the develop
ment of Manchuria the United States
could look for lively .competition with
Japan In the wheat and flour trade.
Mant-huria is unquestionably one of
the most promising granaries in the
world, and It Is evident from the
baron's admissions that Japan had this
in mind when securing such a foothold
In that country. Undoubtedly.- too,
the -State department has It also In
mind In reserving the right to insist
that the equal privileges of uatlona
be maintained In all China under the
open door principle. Shibusawa's
oriental remark that his country ac
cepts the open door policy, but must
Insist on its special rights and prlvl
leges as a legacy from the Russian
war. is. an Indication of the sort of
diplomacy with which Mr. Knox will
have to deal when disposing of the
treaties now under consideration.
The haron Is almost as outspoken
as was Mr. Crane, -but not being an
official representative of his country
he is not trammeled by considerations
of diplomacy when he discusses the
possibilities of trade rivalry on the
Pacific. "As keen commercial nations
we may expect such competition," he
says, "but in the end It will strengthen
the mutuality of interests."
From one of Japan's experiences he
thinks the United States may learn a
lesson, and that is In the matter . of
ship subsidies. His comment that
while there is criticism among bis peo
ple because of the detail of the sub
sidy system there Is none against It
results Is supplemented by his own
opinion that ship subsidies are the one
factor in the commercial development
IV Damla Inl.rnl In tha T'nltur! P.tatea
however, will not accept the baron's
philosophy without a question. Ocean
commerce was vital to Japan; her
limited area and her Isolation aa an
Island empire compelled her to go to
vxtreme measures to strengthen her
position In tho world's affairs and
to establish close and direct chan
nels of trade. Japan had to get
out to the world, whereas the
world had to come to America, and
still fcs to come here for tho necesal
ties of life. When Japan realized her
neeos she did not hesitate on either
subsidy or war; she had everything to
gain, aid If she lost was little the
worse for her enterprise. But while
the United States may take pleasure
In watching Japan's future endeavors,
it does not necessarily follow that she
needs to copy any of her perform
ances, past or prospective.
Infantile Paralysis.
In many of the states a definite in
vestigation of that new terror of the
household, Infantile paralysis, is In
progress, and the medical profession
hopes soon to bo able to combat a dis
ease which, though not a new disor
der, has only within the last two years
become a general menace to tho babies
of tho land. As far east as Massachu
setts tho State Board of Health Is
making a special study of the matter,
prompted thereto by the reports of
cases In eighty towns of tho common
wealth. The Kansas board will use
all of its emergency fund If necessary
and the governor has offered also one
half of his contingent fund to discover
effective treatment for the visitation.
Similar determination to rout this In
sidious foe Is everywhere apparent,
and out of the concerted action the
profession confidently expects to
evolve solution.
One of the most promlslngv reports
comes from Minnesota, where the state
convention of physicians, has received
word that a Norwegian Investigator
had discovered the poliomyelitis germ.
Location of the cause of the disease is
the first step toward evolving a cure,
and If the report from Norway proves
correct It will be one of the best things
that every camo out of the north.
When facing a situation blindly,
household and practitioners alike can
not but feel the hopelessness of it.
Having a basis for action, however,
man's ingenuity Is bound to win. The
devotion of the world of medicine to
the fight against this enemy of the
babies is- of a part with all the history
cf this branch of science, and the pub
lic In rejoicing over the expected vic
tory will not omit honors to the dis
coverers of cause and cure.
Quick DeliTery.
. The very same issue of the Lincoln
Star which contains the five-page ad
vertisement of the corporation tax de
linquents, which tho democratic gov
ernor assigned to it as Its share of the
publication pie, comes out for all three
of the democratic nominees for su
preme judge.
This Is mighty quick delivery. In
deed, if circumstantial evidence were
conclusive the natural inference would
be that the two were cause and effect,
although it might be difficult to say
which were cause and which effect. .
It follows, of course, that the decla
ration of the Lincoln Star, pretended
republican and recipient of democratic
favor, should be immediately acclaimed
by tho democratic dally that absorbed
the other half of the pie as a great
Daniel come to judgment.
Whereas only a short time ago it
could not find adjectives strong enough
to revile the corporation-ridden Star,
the World-Herald now suddenly dis
covers that the Star's high-minded
patriotism transcends its party loyalty,
and that this formerly discredited
source pf advice and inspiration has
become an oracle entitled to the im
plicit obedience of all "progressive
republicans.
This same democratic World-Herald
some years ago made a deal with the
republican state committee for the sale
of two columns of space on its edi
torial page dally for ten days to op
pose the candidates of Its own party,
and it lived up to the agreement, al
though it took a court order to secure
specific performance of the written
contract. No wonder the World-
Herald admires and praises- the Lin
coin Star for promptly delivering the
goods without litigation.
The report of the receiver under
takes to make out that the bankrupt
Hanson cafe and restaurant could
never have been operated at a profit,
even If the plice and Its fixtures aud
equipment were obtained for nothing
and rent free. - That, however, does
not follow at all. Many a successful
business has been built up that lost
money steadily at the start and until
It had become firmly established. Bus
iness failure results as often from lack
of sufficient capital to survive the Ini
tlal period as it does from mistakes of
niriiageinent.
The World-Herald admits that Mr
Bryan in advocating the federal licens
ing of corporations doing business out
side of the state in which they are in
corporated uses the same arguments
which It denounces when urged In sup
nort of federal incorporation. The as
sumption that federal incorporation
would nullify state laws regulating the
transaction of business within the
state any more than would federal 11
cense Is entirely unwarranted, al
though It may be moot question.
Proud women of Chicago are pa

If the antl-salooq sleuths have the
evidence as they say they have to put
a lot of liquor dealers out of business,
what are they ' waiting for? Why
don't they file their complaints, secure
convictions and call on the police
board to revoke the license? One
poor devil had his license revoked
early in .the game, and evidence enough
to convict will send after him any
others caught violating tho t o'clock
closing law.
It goes without raying that tho cam
paign to land three nonpartisan demo
cratic judges on the supreme bench
this year will be followed up by an
other similar campaign to land three
more nonpartisan democratic judges
next time.
It Is a trifle early to discuss the
question of charter versus license for

and will disclose the fact that the

The Line Between the Carrier and
the Goods Carried.
Minneapolis Journal.
President Taft draws a distinction which
never occurred to hi predecessor, and
which may prove the Bearchllnht to rive
the obscurity that Invests the lntsrlr.wi
questions of railways and interstate com
merce.
The Sherman anti-trust law. which !
agree needs amendment, extends its pro
motion over railways and industries alike.
President Taft wquld exempt not only labor
unions, but also railwaya from the applica
tion of the Sherman act. He would con
fide the regulation of railwaya to an ad
ministrative and a judiciary body, while
the regulation of Interstate Industries
would be confided to a different body.
A common carrier Is one thing. An In
dustry that ship over, the common carrtei
la another. Deoauxe an Industry that is a
monopoly or that exhibits a tendency to
become a monopoly, requires to be re
strained, supplies no reason for prohibiting
combination among" railwaya. In other
words that which invites restraint or regu
lation In railways is not the same as that
which invites restraint or regulation In In
dustrial corporations. When the distinction
Is stated, It seems simple.
' Why should .common carriers not con
solidate? Tho evils we suffer from rail
waya do not proceed from their consolida
tions. Indeed, such evils can be more
easily remedied by government when com
mitted by the simplified consolidation,
than when dispersed among tht multipli
city of ownerships and managerships.
Peculiar railway evils, such as rebates,
have flourished because of competition,
not because of consolidation. The complex
problem of rates, which the Interstate
Commerce Commission endeavors to solve,
is still more complicated by multiform
ownerships and corporate managerships.
Mr. Roosevelt went as far as urging the
repeal of tha prohibition against railway
pooling, or at least, the devising of a sub
stitute for pooling.
The problem of the railways Is not the
problem of the Industries. Beoauae com
petition should be upheld aa regards In
dustries la no argument agalnat consolida
tion among common carriers Railwaya'
rate can be the.tnore easily regulated and
supervision over railways tha more easily
established, aa railway ownership and man
ageshlp approach unification.
Tha separation of the railway question
from the industrial question Is a long step
toward right eel ut Ion a of them both.

With the tumult and the shouting gone,
float shifted Into the country, decora
tions down, and lllumlr.atlone reduced to
tha regular limit. New Torkers and visiting
spectator are pointing out some of the
glaring defect of the Hudson-Fulton cele
bration. The historic parade has been torn
to shreda by critic. Equally severe are
the reflect lona on the musical deficiencies
of the score oAmore banda In the parade.
Foreign visitors expressed astonishment at
the quality and quantity of the muelo and
the absurdities of the rag-time productions
played on an occasion requiring the best
of marching musio. The musical absurdi
ties which attracted attention are thus set
forth by a correspondent of the Philadel
phia Bulletin:
"Die Wacht Am Rhine," played by a dis
cordant chime of bells near the reviewing
stand before the procession approached,
was like a prophetic note of warning aa to
the Inapproprlateness of the things to fol
low. Mayor McClellan, looking sprece In a
frock coat and silk hat. walked at the head
of the strange procession, In which bands
of muelo were so numerous and near to on
another than one marching tune melted Into
another. An Italian band played "I'm
Going to Do What I Like," and when the
crowd jeered this It changed to the claaalo
trains of "My Wife's Gone to the Coun
try." Even the Englishmen on the reviewing
stand and the English are not generally
credited with much aense of humor
laughed at this. Equally Inappropriate was
the appearance of the float of "Bowling on
the Green." sandwiched between the Syr
ian-American cavalry and a French band
playing tha "Marseillaise."
Another float, aymbotlilng the "Introduc
tion of Croton Water," on which were a
half doaen pretty girls In white and wear
ing gold crown, was heralded by a bras
band playing "I Love My Wife, but Oh,
Tou Kid!"
Six of the great foreign men of war
three British armored crttlsere and -three
French battleahlp crept out to sea
through the narrows Jut at dark Saturday
night, leaving behind a substantial number
of their men. Just how many of the blue
jacket remained In the city for one
reason or another Is a matter of official
knowledge only, but It was reported that
200 men from the British ships had failed
to turn up for duty. Of tha French
men, It waa said that only three out of
the 1,500 Bailors had stayed behind. Fleet
officers remained to search -for the men
of both squadron. When the British
quadron visited New York several year
ago It lost SOD men. In many cases the
English sailors have friends here, and, in
addition, the lure ef American wages some
time prove irresistible. The great blue
gray Inflexible, confident of Its speed,
remained at its anchorage Saturday night,
giving the other three vessels of the
British squadron the A r gyle, Drake and
Duke ' of Edlnbrugh nearly twenty-four
hours' start.
As he ran to meet his father, 4-year-old
Jlmmie Clowes was killed before his
mother's eye by a Long Island express
train at the Norwood avenue crossing, In
East New Tork. Only a moment before
he had left his home with his mother and
his brother, Fred, S year old.
They reached the crossing just as an
electric train approached. Jlmmie saw his
father coming from the elevated station,
two blocks away, at the same time.
"There's daddy now!" he exclaimed,
slipping from hi mother's hand. He ran
joyfully forward in front of the train.
With a shook that hurled the passengers
to the floor, the motorman, Arthur Ark
ley, stopped hi train. He ran back to
pick up the child, but 'the mother already
had It In her arms. She was erased for tha
moment by shock and grief.
"Oh, look at my little Jlmmie asleep!"
she cried to the crowd about her. "Isn't
he a beautiful child? Please don't wake
him up."
The father, half crated with grief him
self, made his way through the crowd.
With difficulty he made her relinquish the
little body to the police. It waa not until
later, in her home, that she realised the
baby had been killed. '
Many a man has talked hla way Into
matrimony or publlo office, but seldom
does one talk himself Into jail. Such was
the fate of Charlea . Sternberg, a merchant
of Queensborough, who would not abate
his conversational powers when the police
magistrate ordered him to desist.
Mr. Sternberg waa arrested for letting
water run Into the stret. No sooner was
he. before the judge than he opened the
floodgates of speech, and in shrill denunci
ation compared America with Russia In
Its worst days. The policeman tried to
stop him; the magistrate pounded with hla
gavel and ordered him to turn off the
faucet But the prisoner, like a motor
cycle, exploded more and more vehemently
aa he gained headway.
"Stop talking thla moment, or I'll send
you to Jail!" said Judge Connolly.
"Go on! Send me if you dare I thla a
free country, I would like to know"
"Commlted to Jail for five days." said
the judge.
"Give me six months If you want to, I
don't care!" yelled the prisoner.
"All right." said the court. "I will send
you for fifteen days, and no chance for a
fine. Take him away."
Mr. Sternberger was token to a cell, talk
ing all the way.
"It took a railroad to bring the great sea
captain finally to hla own." said Charles
H. Hull, professor of American history at
Cornsll university, discussing the Hudson
Fulton celebration.
He referred to the naming of the Hudson
river, and aserted that the Dutch had not
named it thus. It was known as the Man
hattes, the Great river, and also the North
river. The English called It the Hudson,
but the name of North river clung to It,
especially among tha people of Dutch
deaoent, until well toward the middle of
the nineteenth century, and seems not to
have vanished, he said, "until the Interpre
tation of the cabalistic Initials 11. H. R. K.
forced them to mend their waya. No other
Dutchman contrived ao much to make the
North river Hudson' river a did Commo

NOT A VANISHING RACES.
Marked laereaae la Indian Population
In Last Decade.
Denver Republican.
The publication of official .figures show
ing that there are now over 800,000 Indians
In the United States an Increase of 40,000
In the last decade, Indicates that there is
no truth In the generally aocepted theory
that the redskin are a "vanishing race."
In the history of civilisation there la no
oaae to parallel that of the Indian. No
where la there any record of a savage
race being conquered by a civilised race
and then lifted from tho plane of savagery
to the plane of civilisation. Always, be
fore this, the result has been oblivion for
the conquered race. For a time It looked
as If oblivion would be the lot of the In
dian. But the general idea of the Ameri
can people haa been to uplift Jhe savage.
There have been abuse in tha Indian serv
ice, without doubt. Some official have
been Incompetent, and others have been
dishonest.. But these have proved mere
Incident. Tht general result has been all
that could be hoped for under the circum
stances, and now the Indian haa begun to
show the effect of Uncle Sam's care.
What the future of the Indian will be,
no man can tell. There will be a break
ing up of tribal relation everywhere. The
reservations themselves will disappear, and
each Indian' must settle on his own allot
ment to "sink or swim." No person can
tell if the Indian will prove equal to the
teat, but the Indication seem to be that
he will survive. At any rate he has
thrived In hi position of wardship, until
today he fax arrived at tha parting of the
waya and must strike out for hlmsalf. The
next two generations are going to tell the
real story of the Indian. They will demon
strate If the red men are to bcome a
atrong, helpful part of the nation, or are
to be In fact a "vanishing race."
THE CHRISTENING.
Chicago New.
It happened at the christening. My dear-
tst wife Sophia
Had bioueht our baby to the font. We
called him Obadlah.
I was not partial to the name In fact, I
did not ohoose III
Since 'twas a wealthy uncle's choice we
could not well refuse it.
A soon a we had breathed the name
the infant'a eye flashed fire;
He gave a sudden yell and cried, "I'li
nc be Obadlah!
Just think of going through the world
with such a hideous label!
Why don't you call me Khera at once or
Zebedee or Abel?
"It la a cruel thing to do, to blight my
whole existence.
To doom me when I am too small to of
fer much resistance.
How can you do such wickedness with
out least oompunctlon?
I'll go to court without delay and plead
for an Injunction."
The clergyman looked quite abashed I'm
sure my wife and I did;
The christening could not proced until
the babe aubalded;
We whispered In his ear: "That name
your uncle, dear, proposes."
"And so," the babe replied, "might be
Methuselah or Moses.
"Still. If he put ma in hi will for some
thing really handsome,
I'll 1st him call me w:iai he likes, Zer
r i) babel or Bamson.
And now," tha baby murmured sweet, "just
wrua nun ana inquire
Ho mu h It will be worth to him to call
ma Cbadiah."
