Every now and then the important ; intelligence is imparted to a waiting j multitude that the stage is to be ele vated. It is an old cry and it signifies j nothing, for the patrons of the play- j house make it what it is and mana- ; gers only supply a public demand. I References are always being made to J the palmy days of the drama, and a revival of them is frequently predict- [ «d, but the truth is that there were j just as reprehensible performances in the past as there are in the present, though, of course, there were some noble histrionic efforts that are re peated to-day. It is claimed that this is an era of commercial managers, who are only bent on making money and are deficient inartistic inspira tion, but even Shakespeare did not disdain accumulating a comfortable fortune for his day from the produc tion of his plays, and few men are anxious to embark in an unpaying venture, even for the sake of art. We are now told that there is to be an intellectual theater in upper Broad way, New York, where only the cream of the best old and new plays will be brought out. We wish it success, re marks the Boston Budget, but we are afraid that its patronage will not be remunerative, for the theater is re garded by the majority of people as a place of entertainment, and not as a school for moral and intellectual training. China After Ideas. Slowly but surely modern ideas are getting a foothold in China. The ap pointment of a commission to visit Japan, Great Britain and Germany with a view to examining and report ing upon the working of constitution al systems in those countries is full of significance, which is increased be cause of the character' of those chosen for the service. These are men of the most progressive spirit. Further more, they represent the aspirations of the real Chinese rather than the purposes of the Manclius, who to a large extent are an alien element, al though they have managed to fasten their power upon the government and to perpetuate a dynasty which has been a constant source of politicsll friction. The voice »112 awakened China is making itself heard and is likely to be more insistent in demand ing changes and reforms that shall be for the benefit of all the people. And much of this impetus to better things comes from Chinese who have been educated in the United States or have liv£d here long enough to see how lib eral government works. A wealthy Texan is having a statue of John D. Rockefeller made and wants a suitable inscription. Well, there is, "He made him to suck hon ey out of the rocks, and oil out of the flinty rock;" or, "Will the Lord be pleased with ten thousand rivers of oil?" or "But the wise took oil." Or, says the Indianapolis Star, if he does not want scriptural extracts, he might use, "He was a big five man"; or "Base is the slave that pays." But If he really wants to touch John with delicate flattery, let him make it "Ho never fuddled his tee." Dismay and consternation reign in the ranks of the Ananias club. A Cam bridge professor has invented a ma chine to cure liars. It is to be doubted if mankind will welcome this wonder ful achievement. To abolish lying will cut off the most satisfactory and pro lific source of vituperation and close one of the most fruitful sources of the gayety of nations. Down-trodden man, deprived of the rights of his sex, is beginning to claim those of the usurping sex. A plumber in New York finding himself badly treated by his wife, left her and "went home to mother." In this move belligerent marital femininity is fac ing an unexpected and serious crisis. Peace advocates are trying to check the importation of German war toys. They wish some one to invent a pop ular "peace toy.'' How would pigeons do? Boys like to raise them as much as they like to play with tin soldiers. Why not distribute doves of peace pairs ? DEEP WATERWAY ONE OF THE CHIEF PURPOSES OF PRESENT ADMINISTRATION. The President Has Done Much to Champion Vhis Cause of the Peo ple of the Central States. The time has come in the develop ment of the resources of the United States when the rail transportation, which pioneered and fostered that de velopment to its present vast propor tions, must be supplemented by water transportation on the largest feasible scale. This is essential not only be cause of the lower rates —both by wa ter and rail —that would result from the improvement and use of the navi gable streams and the construction of canals to connect different water sys tems, but it is also necessary in order to relieve the railroads themselves of burdens incompatible with good service and too excessive to be borne with safety to the traveling public and the train crews. But the great ruling reason for de veloping the waterways of the coun try is that water transportation is the natural and cheaper method of hand ling a great percentage of the coun try's shipping, especially as to raw materials and heavy manufactures. Once improved, these waterways would have almost limitless capacity. It would then remain only to increase the shipping facilities to meet the de mand, and this demand would grow constantly and rapidly through the demonstrations of actual shipping. The people can afford to have the fed eral government and the several states contribute millions to the im provement of navigable streams. Wa ter transportation will do more to in crease the value —that is, the net profit—of products of the soil and many products of the factories than any other one thing in the range of legislative and administrative policy. It must be remembered alEo that low water rates make low rail rates. Such competition, under the regula tion of the government, would com pletely solve the problem of the cost of shipping in most of the country. would, of course, compel a readjust ment of the financiering and manage ment of railway properties, for the holders of these properties would have to base their calculations much more largely on the actual investment and much less on the factor of dividends on watered stock. Even the cost of railroad construction wcftild be low ered by water shipping, for much of the material used in construction could be carried for less by water than it can be carried by rail. The outlook for inland waterway development in this country is almost overwhelming in its scope. Taken in connection with the ports on the At lantic, on the Gulf of Mexico and on the Northern Pacific, and especially in connection with the early completion of the Panama canal, this prospect widens until there is seen a direct connection between such inland ports ag Kansas City and the water marts of the entire world. President Roosevelt has made the development of inland waterways one of the chief purposes of his adminis tration. He has done much to cham pion this cause. His appeal is wholly j unpartisan. It is made to the people, to the growers, the manufacturers, the merchants and to all other classes of business men. His attitude accords perfectly with another of his great policies—the conservation of the natural resourcos of the country. He would avoid waste, he would prevent the exploitation of the people by cor porations using these resources; yet he would give to all the best possible facilities for handling the products of the land.—Kansas City Star. "Help Wanted."

Y. American. Why? The Cincinnati Enquirer does not believe in putting off until to-morrow what should be done to-day. While not insisting that tariff disturbance is the burning need of the hour, it log ically urges that if revision is needed two years hence it is needed now: "The principle of the tariff is the same now that it will be 18 months or two years hence. If it is wrong now the simple and perhaps the straight- S forward thing to do would be to com mence the overhauling of the sched ules at the first opportunity, which will be on the first Monday of Decem ber next." Equally logical is the plea that if tariff revision is not needed now it may not be needed two years from now, and hence there is no occasion for setting a date. Why promise for 1909 a thing which the country dreads and does not want in 1907? CAMBKCW COUNTY RRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1907. THE PACIFIC SQUADRON. Used by Democratic Press as Reason for Condemning President. The contemplated dispatch of the battleship fleet to the Pacific appears to have aroused great terror in certain quarters. It has even taken the form of appealing to Europe to declare how dangerous the movement is, and the public is told by some imaginary par ties across the water that war will certainly be the consequence. Europe has no logical connection with the movements of American naval ves sels, and is probably not concerning itself with the matter, as it has things of its own to occupy to the full of its attention. • It is difficult to imagine a greater absurdity than this fear that the movement of an American fleet from one ocean to another has in it any perils save those which will be en countered in transit. To move a great fleet of battleships around the Horn and up the South American coast to an American port involves some danger by wind and wave — more, perhaps, than if only one ship were sent by the route, as fogs may be encountered, in which collisions may occur, and storms are occasional ly extremely severe in the vicinity of Cape Horn; but naval vessels are built to withstand the hazards of the deep, and naval officers are trained to manage them so that they wiii be subjected to the least possible danger. It ia not unlikely that the most seri ous obstacle encountered by the fleet will be the lack of coaling facilities. Efforts are being made to supply this deficiency, and there will probably be little delay encountered, but energy and skill are sometimes baffled by un foreseen causes. When all things are considered the only mishap that is likely to occur Is delay in the move ments of the fleet for want of a time ly supply of fuel. When it reaches the Pacific there will be home ports enough for all the needs of a great fleet. , But why Japan should be anxious to CO to war with the United States be cause a great American fleet is In the Pacific, when she has not gone to war with this country during the absence of such a fleet, is one of those mys terious riddles which would puzzle Lord Dundreary. Whatever may be said of the Japanese, they have been credited with a vast amount of shrewdness and common sense. They may have bitter feelings against this country. Logically, they ought to have more bitter feelings against Great Britain. They may even have cherished the purpose of giving trouble in one way or another, but they know very well when it is ad visable to act and when it is better to control their feelings or their se cret intentions. If they harbored any sinister purpose—and they expressly say that they never have done so—it would have been more sensible to execulte It when there was a very slight naval force to check them than to carry it out in the presence of an immense fleet, which could make kindling wood of their little navy. There is probably little basis for this fear of war which Is so vocifer ously asserted. There is something else at the bottom of it. A reckless desire to condemn everything done by the administration appears to be more in evidence than craven fright. The transfer of the battleship fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific may be an experiment of the first import ance. The Pacific coast has oftep been a source of anxiety, and its ex posed condition in caso of war has caused embarrassment to more that, one administration. If this gigantic fleet can move safely and expeditious ly around the Horn, the defense of that part of the union will be solved beyond question.—Baltimore Ameri can. REPUBLICAN POINTERS. Boston Herald.—Ambassador Charle magne Tower joined the diplomatic service as an attache at Madrid some thing over 30 years ago, shortly after his graduation from Harvard college. Since then he has been successively minister and ambassador at Vienna, ambassador at St. Petersburg and at Berlin, In all of which positions he has shown himself to be an accom plished diplomat and a credit to his country in all respects. He is en titled to the rest he now asks for, though his retirement will be a loss to the diplomatic service. * • * New York Tribune.—Massachusetts seems to crave political excitement. Not content with electing a governor every year, it manages to have a Democratic convention every year or two at which the police have to be called Into determine who shall gov ern either with or without the consent of the governed. * ♦ * Baltimore American.—The Panama canal excavations appear to be going steadily ahead, regardless of whether there are any literary people on hand to report progress or not. * « * Pittsburg Post.—Mr. Harrimaa is fond o!' having himself advertised as a developer. But there are other gentle men who have developed water pow ers. * • • Washington Star. —Prom develop ments in the case it becomes more and more evident that the good Samaritan who poured oil for nothing In the wounds of the man he found robbed and suffering did not belong to the trust of those timos. Perhaps the men the victim fell among did. A GERMAN BALLOON WON THE BIG RACE ONE OF THE FRENCH SKYBOATS WAS A GOOD SECOND. THEDIRIGIBLE AIRSHIP RACE At St. Louis Resulted in a Victory for the Craft Operated by Lincoln Beachy, of Toledo —Shobel's Airship was Second. i St. IjOuls, Mo. With every bal loon racing record broken, the second international cup competition, which j started from St. Louis on Monday, I ended Wednesday with the German j balloon Pommern winning first prize for the longest flight. The finish of the race was so close, however, that the French contestant, L'lsle de France, which descended at 1:10 p. in. Wednesday at Hubertsville, N. J., a few miles from the Atlantic coast, may possibly be declared winner after ofii | eial measurements are completed. The j Pommern landed at 9 a. m. Wednes- J d«y at Asbury Park, N. J., apparently 1 a few miles further from St. Louis than Hubertsville. Another German balloon, the Dus seldsrf, stands third in the ra'je. American entries finished fourth, fifth nad eighth, while a third Uerman team finished sixth, another French team seventh. v the one English balloon entered fell far short of the others. The unofficial estimated air line flight of the Pommern is 880 miles and that of the L'lsle de France is 875 miles. The Dusseldorf, third, which landed near Dover, Del., is estimated to have covered 790 miles. The offi cial measurements will be computed by the geological survey of the United States government. Only the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean stopped the flight of the Pom mern. The balloon could have re mained In the air many hours longer, and probably would have added sev -1 eral hundred miles to her record but 1 for the expanse of water ahead, i Following Is the record of the other | seven balloons in the race: United States, American, landed at Hamilton, Ont., 6:15 p. m. Tuesday. America (Capt. Chandler's balloon), landed at. Patuxent, Md., 8 a. m. Wed ! nesday. Anjou, French, landed 10 a. m. at ! Armenius Mines, Va. Dusseldorf, Germany, landed at Lit- I tie Creek, Del., 7:15 a. m. Wednesday. St. Louis, American, landed at West minster, Md., 0:40 a. in. Wednesday. Abereron, Germany, lauded at Man assas, Va., 7:10 a. m. Wednesday. Ixstus 11., English, landed at Lees burg, 0., noon. Sailing to windward and return over a course measuring one mile anil a half from start to finish, Lincoln Beachy, of Toledo, on Wednesday won the dirigible airship race which mark ed the close of the St. Louis aero nautic carnival. The prize was $2,000. In his "Beachy airship," a cigar-shaped affair propelled by a four-cylinder gasoline motor, the winner covered the distance in 4 minutes and 40 sec onds. Jack Dallas in the "Strobel airship," a sister craft to the Beachy, won sec ond place with 6 minutes and 10 sec onds, while Capt. Thomas S. Baldwin, of New York, in the "California Ar row" was third in 7 minutes and 5 sec onds. A fourth competitor, "The Comet," entered by Charles Baysdorfer, of Omaha, and sailed by Horace Wild, did not complete the first trial of the course, the motor breaking. The race was a start at will affair, with each contestant having three trials. ARE IN RECEIVERS' HANDS. Four of the Westinghouse Concerns are Temporarily Embarrassed. Pittsburg, Pa. A flurry In lo cal financial circles, caused by the embarrassment of four concerns of the Westinghouse interests, was quickly ended here Wednesday by the prompt action of the Pittsburg Clearing House association and the Pittsburg stock exchange. The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co., the Westinghouse Machine Co. and the Security Invest ment Co., a holding company for the Westinghouse interests, are now in the hands of receivers appointed by Judge Ewlng, of the United States circuit court. A fourth concern, the Nernst Lamp Co., will be turned over to receivers to-day. The Pittsburg stock exchange, which was closed yesterday morning when informed of the situation by the Pittsburg Clearing House association, will likely remain closed to-day. This action is taken for the purpose of pre venting an unnecessary sacrifice of values by a heavy liquidation of stocks. Statements issued by George West inghouse, prominent bankers, officers of the stock exchange and the clear ing house committee show that the financial situation here is sound. The severe stringency of the money market is alone responsible for the Westinghouse difficulties. The solv ency of the embarrassed companies is not questioned. The concerns at pres ent are enjoying the largest amount of business known in their career. The inability to secure funds to pay off maturing loans caused the embar rassment. Trust Company Goes Into Receivership Pittsburg, Pa. —ln the United States court last night H. S. Stewart and William L. Abbott were appointed receivers for the Iron City Trust Co. The papers filed in court represent the company as having assets exceeding $4,000,000 and liabilities to depositors of about $1,700,000. $350,000 Fire Loss. Waycross, Ga. The plant of the South Atlantic Car Manufactur ing Co., located here, was almost to tally destroyed by fire last evening. Loss $350,000, with $250,000 insurance. Rebuilding will commence at once. Her Specs Magnified. A little Scotch boy's grandmother was packing his luncheon for him to take to school one morning. Sudden ly looking up in the old lady's face, he said: "Grandmother, does yer specs mag nify?" "A little, my child," she answered. "Aweel, then," said (he boy, "I wad juist. like it, if ye wad tak' them aff when ye're packin' my loonch." —The Reader. Rides and Fares Stolen. The assertion made by the head of the surface car system in New York city that all fares are not paid ap pears to be well founded. One man who kept tab while riding in 19 cars in six days last week said 24 passen gers did not pay, and that 31 fares that were paid did not receive recog nition from the register. Seeking Refuge in England. Monks and nuns exiled from France by the recent laws are still seeking refuge in England in considerable numbers. Fifty nuns recently left Brest on board the Antelope and ICO brothers of Christian schools, who have been expelled from their insti tutions, are seeking a home in Jersey and England. Unfermented Grape Juice. Stem six quarts of grapes, wash them, and put them over the fire with one quart of cold water. Bring slowly to the boil, boil up hard, and strain. Return the juice to the fire, bring again to the boil, bottle and seal. Houses and Barns. A farmer in Nemaha county, Kan., was showing a city man over his premises and the latter commented on the size of the big red barns, which completely overshadowed the house. The "farmer replied: "Barns build houses, but houses don't build barns." Two Converts. The first two converts from Mo hammedanism have been baptized at Zaria, in Hausaland, West Africa, by- Bishop Zugwell, and, being men of importance, they had to sacrifice much in accepting the Christian faith. A Big biocese. The Episcopal bishop of Lucknow presides over a diocese greater in extent than that of the whole of Great Britain, it having a population of about 48,000,000, of whom only 102,- 000 are Christians. Falcon Hunting. Only the smaller birds of prey are used in Asia for falcon hunting. The sport is in great favor with eastern sovereigns and wealthy natives desert lands. Insect Food. Besides the locust, the insects which are eaten for food are the bugong moth of Australia and the gru-gru, a lat white moth found among the palm trees of the West Indies. India's Population. Over 70 per cent, of the natives of India till the land; hence the popula tion is scattered, and their power of co-operation is greatly lessened. Americans See Europe from Autos. United States Consul Mansfield of Lucerne, Switzerland, estimates that 8,000 automobiles are in use by Amer icans touring in Europe this year. A Lottery At Best. And those who marry for love are just as apt to bump up against dis appointment as those who marry for money. Vandalism on Mt. of Olives. The olive trees on the Mount of Olives have been destroyed by tour ists. Don't Talk. Keeping your mouth shut Is an easy way not to hurt people's feelings. The Bunko Man. It takes a bunko man to appreciate fully the good things of life. But When It Floods. A stubborn fountain pen often in terrupts a man's flow of thought.
