Cy Young and h Mexican revolution. : Since the knock-out blow of the hobble came from royal England we nay not continue to sneer at the folly Of fashion In British courts. "Washington is not a village," ob serves the Washington Herald. No, but it has a large rural population while congress is in session. Talk about the irony of fate! Look at that Mexican family which was caught by disaster while sailing to ' Paris to avoid dangers of the rebellion. That block la the Twenty-first ward la Chicago, which achieved fame for harboring the residences of three I members of-the cabinet, will now have I o check out. i "Uncle Jim" Wilson continues to be ! h unchanging landmark around the cabinet table by which the reigns of Kuoeeedlng presidents are measured as 1 thtey come and go. Now the thing is to decide to whom ' telongs the credit for the fall of ruares. and, uallke another great bat 1 la history, there does not seem to i "honor enough for all." 5 Colonel Roosevelt may not have feeea consulted aa to whether tfl ap proved the summoning of Stlmson to )he cabinet hut some things are so obvious that they . may be taken for granted. The World-Herald says it is as will ng to boost Wilson as it is to boost Harmon or any other good democrat. It is to be noted, however, that it is Hot doing much boosting for Bryan Juet at this stage of the political game. "Jn tha senate thara la a Jeff, but no Mutt." Hera Is a statement that cornea under the bead of real new. Washington Joet. Not at all. The latter part of it tuts it in the fake class. 'According to Mr. Bryan, the democratic- free lust bill la "the greatest party strategic movement made la thirty years." ' It is the first time we recall that Mr. Bryan has backed up that far on his fetish of 16 to 1 free coiaage of sliver. Getting; Away From the Platform. The demand for downward tariff revision Is widespread, but there are at least two kinds of downward revis ion with diametrically opposed ob jects. President Taft and his repub lican supporters, both insurgents and regulars, favor only Buch reductions as will bring the tariff duty to the point of equalizing the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. President Taft contends that as between the United States and Canada the difference in production cost Is negligible, and that reciprocity between these two countries will con form to the doctrine of protection em bodied in the last republican plat form. The democrats, on the other hand, who have voted for reciprocity admit that they have done so merely as an entering wedge to be followed up with their free list abolishing or reducing protective duties on various articles, irrespective of the injurious effect on our home industries. A sidelight on the democratic purpose may be seen in the demand for free wool voiced by Mr. Bryan In his Commoner this week In which, referring to the re port that some democrats In the house would insist on retaining a tariff on wool, he exclaims: If there Is any such protectionist senti ment among the democrats, tha sooner It is brought to light, and combatted, the better. Protection Is protection no matter whether It la asked for the benefit of manufacturers or for the benefit of farm ers, and the man who believes In protec tion Is worse than worthless as a tariff reformer. Without free wool tariff re form will not amount to much, for th spirit that would lead congress to tax all the farmers (snd all other citizens) who wear woolen goods in order to give a tariff tribute to the few farmers who rats sheep will consent to other tariff exactions until tariff reform will be little more than a farce . A democratic tariff as defined by Mr. Bryan then would be a tariff that levies no duties on goods that compete with homemade articles and abso lutely free trade In everything we pro duce; for his argument on wool would apply equally to. every other article of domestic production. It remains to be seen whether the democrats in con gress, or even a majority of them, will accept Mr. Bryan's tariff views, espe cially as to wool. This declaration, too, would seem to be conclusive on the rumor that Mr. Bryan will con cede a duty on wool in consideration of reductlona In other schedules. The queer part of it Is, however, that while Mr. Bryan insisted on a free lumber clause in his Denver platform, he said nothing there or during the last cam paign about free wool. . The platform spoke merely of putting trust-made goods on. the free' list, reduced duties on necessaries, and- graduated .re ductions in other schedules to restore the tariff to a revenue basis. If the democrats follow Bryan, they will be getting away from their own platform. Mr. Bryan Is going away from the Denver platf orm, , which, Jt will he re membered, he insisted was equally binding as to what it omits as to what it contains. . t Western Immigration Bureau. Congress should accede to the de mand for the establishment of an im migration bureau in Chicago as a part of the Department of Commerce and Labor. There Is a vital need for it, a need that affects the welfare of the immigrant as well as Chicago -and the west. As a matter of fact it affects the immigrant more than anybody else. It la made more plain every year that the great stream of Immi gration cannot be adequately directed solely from New York. Next to New York, Chicago ia the greatest immi grant distributing point . To provide efficient protection to the newcomer in the matter of directing him where to go and how, a bureau is simply essential at Chicago. Such a bureau in the center of the great middle west and at the doorway to all the west would bring remark ably profitably results to this govern ment in its unsuccessful effort thus far to solve this immigration problem. The demand was put up to the last congress and ignored. It has long ago been approved by President Taft and now congress at this extra session should give it the final sanction It re quires to become an act If it would do this it would enable the govern ment to do a much better Job of sift ing its immigration and preventing the streams from becoming congested. It would also lend a very helpful hand to the general enterprise of settlement In the west by affording facilities for a more systematic and intelligent dis tribution of the aliens. New Victory for Wireless. That waa a remarkable feat by which 319 persons were saved from death or accident when the line steamer, Merida, sank to the bottom of the Atlantic in thirty-five fathoms of water In five hours. But It did not take the full five hours for the vessel to get deep enough into the water to endanger life had those aboard not been hastily removed. It was the Farragut, the destroyer of the pas senger vessel, a- small fruit ship, which effected the rescue of all the passengers, but to complete the res cue the wireless telegraph had to be brought Into commission. The Far ragut, itself, was endangered by the collision and gave up its human freight to the battleship Iowa, which arrived in due time in response to the message through the air. People are likely to become callous to - most anything in time. - Wireless has saved so many lives at sea that what once was never dreamed of as a possibility now fades from the mind without aa much aa a second thought. Boo a we ahall begin to think it ex- ceedlngly strsnge If wireless permits of the loss of life under such circum stances. Already, In comparison with the vast increase . In ocean travel, fatal accidents have very materially diminished In number. It Is only now and then, where shipwrecks occur at all, that lives are lost. Of course, It would be Idle to attribute all this to the system of wireless telegraphy, for a great deal of It, probably most of It, is undoubtedly due to other causes, such as the more modern vessels, in the first place, and the improved sys tem of life protection, of which the skill and experience of seamen form no small part. But the qther phenom enon Is a vital factor and has, in some cases, been the entire means of salvation. Cabinet Changes. The resignation of Secretary of War Dickinson is only the second change in the Taft cabinet thus far, which Is quite as few as most administrations have experienced in a similar period in recent years. The first cabinet member to retire was Secretary Bal linger of the interior. When Mr. Fisher of Chicago was named to suc ceed Mr. Ballinger, making three ap pointments from Chicago, there was a feeling, whether publicly expressed or not, that another vacancy might be expected before long. Chicago and New York still have two members each, now that Mr. Stlmson has been named as the new secretary of war. The war portfolio has come to em brace so much of the large business of the government as vastly to Increase Its Importance. Beside the manage ment of the army and the disposition toward war, It includes the govern ment of the insular possessions, and also the construction of the Panama canal. The fact that President Taft, himself, held the office and served aa governor general of the Philippines gives him, of course, complete grasp of the situation, making his influence naturally overshadowing. Even in the stress of the Mexican affair, there fore, Secretary Dickinson can be re placed without any serious Inconveni ence. Mr. Stlmson is a young man of vig orous capacity and a representative character, since he waa his party's nominee for governor in New York. He may be counted on to fill the place efficiently and satisfactorily. If, as has been intimated, friction between Secretary Dickinson and Secretary of State Knox over the Mexican situation Influenced the former's action in re signing, closer co-operation may be looked for under the incoming secre tary. Harmonious support of the president, of course, is imperative in a cabinet. Danger of Over-Oelebrating.. 'A continuous fiesta is being held in the captured city. Bands play, flags flutter and all la gayety. Not one stroke of work haa been done toward fortifying the city against attack. Everybody loafs. All are heroes. This graphic description of the situ ation at Juarez In the wake of the rebel victory is significant of reverses unless the Maderists soon recover their poise, which seems to have been completely upset in the first flush of triumph. .Resting on their laurels and fighting among themselves when they should be following up their victory may cost them dearly. They may over-celebrate. Diaz, In the meantime, grimly surveys the ruins of Juarez and has doubtless, since Navarro passed his sword to Garibaldi, been moving at double-quick time with plans to repel the next rebel in vasion. Manifestly, he is not as much in favor of peace now as be was be fore Madero took Juarez. A good many moves have been made by the rebels, as well as by the federals, which have not impressed American soldiers for their military strategy, and the conduct of the lnsur- rectos in victory seems to be the cli max. It la not certain yet that with out the handful of Americana they had among them, they would have taken Juarez so easily. Scientific Management What strikes one most forcibly in Frederick W. Taylor's magazine arti cles on scientific management of -industry is that he and his associates attained the ends they have, not by some occult power or magic, ' but by the natural process of patient research and downright hard work. Scientific management is a growing cry of the day. It is being applied to transpor tation, to manufacturing,' to com merce, to agriculture, to every chan nel of business activity. And the big gest factor in it is the elimination of waste and the perfection of labor saving devices. For science, after all. Is simply the easiest effective way of doing a thing. The late E. H. Harrlman once ob served a man with a one-horse cart unloading three cars of coal at a coun try station. At the rate the fellow was working Mr. Harrlman figured it would take blm at least three days to complete the job. There, said the great railroad genius, ia one of the causes of the car shortages, which the railroads suffer so frequently, and were then suffering. By having the coal yards near the track, or by run ning a spur to the coal yards and em ploying modern methods of dumping, these three cars could be unloaded In less time than it would take the man with the cart to back up to one of them.' In addition to the waste Involved In primitive methods there is the equally costly waste that cornea in the lack of harmonious relation between the em ploye and employer. So the problem of scientific management embraces a social side, too, and calls for a moral influence as well. Waste of time and money In defective or outworn ma chinery or methods of operation is no different than waste of time and waste of resources in strikes or other trou bles that tie up great Industrial plants. The country Is making progress in ttis science, but the prob lem Is many-sided and has only begun, after all of Mr. Taylor's research and experiment, to realize on results. It will continue to be the big problem for industry In the years to come. The Good Loser. Be as good a loser as you are a win ner. A hard task, to set a man, but not an Impossible one. Many have met It. Those who have are those who win more than they lose. For nothing inspires success or victory like calmness In defeat or coolness under stress. It is true In business, in politics, in sports, in any sphere of competitive endeavor. Not only that, but nothing is quite as discon certing to one's opponent in one of life's contests as the ability to lose with a smile and well-directed effort to regain the lost. Any man who has run a foot race, or boxed, or wrestled or played ball knows that. It comes out nowhere more forcibly than In base ball. The pitcher, say the fans, who can pitch an uphill game, who can work himself out of pinches with out losing his head, is the pitcher who wins games. But the one who lets down the minute he strikes the up grade, who lets the taunts of the op ponents rattle him, serves notice there and -then upon the other aide that he Is losing, and he generally loses. But nobody has any time for the man who is forever lamenting his own loss or defeat. The world almply credits him with being what It terms a "grouch," which means a poor loser and passes him by for a more agreea ble man. Anyone can be a good win ner, but It takes a man to be a good loser. The philosophy of life, itself, teaches that in all of its precepts. Someone has to lose; it may as well be you, perhaps, so far aa the good of the world goes, as your neighbor. It makes for unselfishness to keep that in mind. Success in Business. For many years statesmen, always sure they have the only remedy for all social and industrial evils, have been accustomed to declare that success In business was steadily becoming scarcer, and that the door of oppor tunity for new enterprise was being shut tighter and tighter. According to these prophets the gold standard, or the tariff, or the money power, or militarism, or the trusts, were eurely and swiftly destroying the field that remained for. Individual initiative But, strange to say, ' people continue every year to embark in business, and despite the various imaginary and real obstacles, to get ahead in about the same numbers that they used to. This Is not mere guesswork, but fact dem onstrated by the vital statistics of commerce carefully computed and compiled. The industrial organism, like the human organism, suffers oc casionally from natural or artificial maladies, but the Improvement In the average of commercial health is as no ticeable, as that in the level of indi vidual health.' Bradstreet'B tables of business failures show that for the year 1910 the number of failures was Jess than for the year -1909, which In turn was much less than for the year 1908, which was the aftermath of the panic. The percentage of business failures to the total number of business establish ments represented waa .72 for 1910 against .76 for 1909. It would ap pear from the best available figures that the number of people going Into business each year and the number dropping out of business each year, are exhibiting improving proportions so far as any change 1b manifested at all, and that the conditions which make for business success or business failure are, if anything, growing slightly more favorable to success. Stripped bare, success in business is the survival of the fittest. The es tablished concern has,. perhaps, a nat ural advantage over the new competi tor, but cannot hold It in the long run except by merit and good manage ment ' Misfits in business, as else where, are not apt to be long-lived, and the man who makes a success in business would likewise make a suc cess in a profession or an occupation, or In any pursuit in which the road is clear to catch up with and pass a com petitor. That Safe and Sane Fourth. Chicago and New York have al ready begun agitation for a "safe and sane" Fourth. Other cities should take it up until the Fourth is passed. The results in New York, Chicago and Boston last year fully warrant the country in adopting the slogan. Those cities held celebrations such as they had never before held, and without the usual train of accidents and deaths. They undoubtedly had far more patriotism in their festivities than they had bad in those where bed lam and brutality reigned. Aa a mat ter of fact anybody knows that the kind of Fourth of July celebrations we have been holding in this country allows no time or room for the thought of patriotism. It gives no fit ting expression to the day. It crowds out of mind everything that is worthy of the event and gives way to a riot of demonstration that should have no connection whatever with the thought of American Independence. The day is coming, we confidently believe, when deadly noise will have no place ia Fourth of July observ ances; when the real spirit of the day will take possession of the people and the rising generation will have a chance to understand what it Is all about. So why not hasten the advent 'of that day? Why should not the smaller cities of the land, those out here in the west, jump In this year and promote the "safe and ssnc" Idea? Every consideration urges It physical, economical, patriotic And, on the other hand, what Is to be said In defense of the death-dealing hilar ity with which we have been, not cele brating, but desecrating, the anniver sary of our national Independence? The New York World concludes an editorial on "The Great Revival In Patriotism," reprinting a few lines from Bryan's Commoner on how to save the country by preventing the Aldrlchization of the democratic party, with these soul-stlrrlng and-somewhat familiar lines: And the Star-Spanpled banner. Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And Mr. Bryan reminds all candi dates for patriotism that' they may have his Commoner two years for the price of one admission. Hall Columbia, happy lnnd. Will the Hanks Do Itt Rrooklyn Rattle. James Bpeyer told the National Teace congress that the banks could prevent wars. In the millennium they will. Now they furnish cash to help the fighting along. (iesloi In Finance. Wall Street Journal. A New York man has filed a petition In bankruptcy, giving liabilities at 11,298. 4.1 and no assets. And wirh talents like those he neglected to organize a bank or (rust company! Did Everybody Share f Houston Post. Mr. Krottschnltt says that from 1894 to 1909 the railroads have saved to the public In rates the sum of $76.82 per capita. The trouble with financiering on the per capita basis Is, somebody always gets ours. "My Word, Dollars Look Good." Pittsburg Dispatch. American dollars which a few months ago were to subvert the British constitution are now turning a number of the peerage and aristocracy out of their homes. But the lords and gentlemen discover that they can tolerate the dollars when the latter flow Into their own pockets. Penalising; Obedience. Philadelphia Record. Experiments with high explosives on the monitor Puritan, "made, presumably, with official sanction, have resulted In one court-martial of the captain who did the Job and may result In another. It Is a rather singular method of proceeding with naval officer to command him to try to sink a ship by exploding nitroglycerin and dynamite compounds against ate hull and then to punish him for being too suc cessful. " Open Read to Real Action. Springfield Republican. It Is the sugar trust which is now to have a congressional Investigation. That trust has already been quite effectively In vestigated, first at the New York customs house and then In the United States courts on rebate prosecutions. Cut away from these aggregations of capital the special advantages theyhave rioted In and grown fat from, such as the railroad rebate, the customs cheating and the exclusive sales agreements, and they would be largely or entirely robbed of their monopolistic power. All we shall get from more official in vestigations will be more talk. STRIDES OF MOTOR INDUSTRY. Bia; ' Money Moves Along sua the "WheTls Spin. Philadelphia Record. Statistics ordinarily are dry and dull, but figures put out by the census bureau In re lation to the growth of automobHe manu facture In the United States are so start ling as to compel attention. With the ten year period from 1899 to 1908 the value of motor cars made by American makers Jumped from H.700.000 to 1194,700,000. or a gain of 4,001 per cent. There are already between 126,000 and 160.000 motor driven ve hicles In the country, and at the present rate of Increase th 800.000 mark will' be passed before the end of the present year. Had anyone predicted twelve years ago that the motor Industry, wfcich was then beginning to loom as a possibility in this country, would today occupy so command ing a position, he would have been laughed at, much aa were Morse and Edison when the one first projected the telegraph and the other the phonograph. With such an example aa the auto in dustry before them critics of the aeroplane ahould be conservative, for what with hun dreds of able and active mlnde throughout the world at work daily perfecting its mo tive power and carrying qualities. It is not toe much to assert that another ten years will witness the development of aerial navi gation to a point of high practicability. Incidentally every Improvement made to the motive power of the automobile adds to the possibilities of the flying machine, for the same power Is employed In both. CARDINAL GtnaOHS OX PEACE. WnoIe-Heaj-ted Approval of Propoaed Arbitration Pact. New York Evening Post. In more ways than one. Cardinal Gib bons' part In the opening of the Peace Congress at Baltimore was peculiarly Im pressive. He had been asked to open the exercises with prayer, but made a brief address to the congress Instead. "I thought." he said, "that a formal invoca tion was unnecessary on the present oc casion, for every discourse uttered today will be a prayer In the sacred cause of peace." In no way could he have more signally testified his feeling of the identi fication of religion with the cause of peace. But It was not In this respect only that his utterance was specially notable. Born of Irish parents, and educated In Ireland In his boyhood, the head of the Roman Cat hollo hierarchy In this coun try devoted the whole of Ills short, but eloquent, speech to an enthusiastlo wel come of the prospective union of England and the United States in a general treaty of arbitration. He did not feel It neces sary to qualify by a syllable the applause with which be greeted It, but, on the con trary, dwelt on the eaaential unity of thes two great nations in their language, their literature and their Institutions as marking them out for the Initiative In a peace movement that ahould grow to world-wide dimensions. "Let Britannia and Columbia Join hands across the At lantic," said the cardinal, "and their out stretched arms will form a sacred arch of peace, a rainbow which will excite the admiration of the nations and will pro claim to the world that, with God's help, the earth shall newer more be deluged with th blood shed ia fratricidal war. People and Events A recent court decision In Chicago pro vokes audible sluhs for a working model of the Judicial recall. In this glorious land of liberty a has ball club also exercises the privilege of sliding to the bottom and mixing with the crowd. A marathon run and a suffrage parade pulled off on the same day ought to convince doubters that New York City Is going some. Two rounds and a knockout In Missouri courts were required to convince bill board companies that St. Louis has the legal right to regulate their decorative efforts. t A move for a state Instead of a fed eral Income tax was put In cold storage by the Massachusetts legislature. That august assembly declined to encourage a tax-shirking stampede to other states. The famous expert on affinities, r. T. Earle, is disengaged at present. Any maiden curious to know how the affinity business works, Earle and late, will have to spnd more than letter postage to find out. Never since Tom Lawson kicked high finance over Bunker Hill has Boston seen an exhibition rivaling that of a later day loan shark. The exhibit shows that a borrower of $100 had repaid $176 and 1 still owed $190. The eggs were "strictly fresh," war ranted by a groceryman In Rochester, N. Y. The purchaser, with the curiosity of a cold storage employe, examined the as sortment and found on one his name writ ten four years before. Mr. Groceryman hired a lawyer to explain matters In court Note how peaceful Is the current of life In Cnnton, China. The rebellion Is over, ditto the leaders and lieutenants. The latter got the axe In the usual place and the usual court expenses were devoted to funeral bills, reckoned at 50 cents a chopped head. Scientific economy Is mak ing progress in China. Let no wide-awake western city boast too loudly of Its prowess in the booster line. There are others. For example, Bridgeport, Conn., the home town of the late Phtneas Barnum of circus fame. Bar num's calliope Is hushed, but the Bridge port Standard does some artistic tooting for a city of 102,090 people. On the oc casion of Its eightieth anniversary on the 4th Inst., the Standard rendered a vocal solo running throufrh a greater number of pages than ever Issued In one edition by a Connecticut newspaper. There wasn't a note of discord in the mighty effort pictures, write-ups, statistics, his- tory, forecasts and business announce ments blending In exquisite harmony. The Standard vocalists are such artistic boost ers that one wonders why they stick to the Nutmeg state. SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT. Washington Post: The Washington pas tor who is going on th.e stage will at least cut down the percentage of brick layers and blacksmiths who are now tread ing the histrionic boards. Washington Times: The resignation of Archbishop Keane from his post in Iowa on account of ill health Is sad news to many Washtngtonlana. His first assign ment after being ordained was to St. Pat rick's church and his brilliant career has been followed here with pardonable pride. Leslie's Weekly: A method of sermon collaboration which may exercise great In fluence upon the vexed problem of church attendance was recently tried at Los An geles. Nine ministers of that city got to gether and produced one sermon and on the next Sunday nine congregations lis tened to the same sermon, one of the best they had ever heard. Such a plan makes good use of diversified gifts. One preacher may be skillful In the Use of illustrations, another particularly happy In literary and historical allusions, a third a master In' theology, another gifted with evangelistic fervor, and so on through all the elements that may enter Into a sermon.
