It Is a llsk that turns out all Hj-IU when the mini who holds the delegated power Is wise, careful and honest; but when, lie Is nighty, Ignorant or crooked, look out for trouble. The labor union that sillies free and fair discussion, tb.it Is ruled by gag law enforced by cliques which do not want the body of the membership I" have an effective voice In the direction of Its atfairs, is a good tiling either to 'cfoim or to cut loose from altogether. ..Iberty was made before labor unions, and If the two cl.isli it will be liberty which will survive. The time is fast mining In this sec tion when attempts to whip labor aiound the stump for the benefit of professional agitators who toll not, neither do they spin, will be resisted us strongly by Intelligent workingnipn as they would leslst any other form of tyranny leading to slaveiy. "When labor gets enough of boycotts and ter rorism and ceases to find pleasure in having Its pockets emptied, then look out for a new deal in unionism. Inasmuch as those who would warn labor before the fact nre invariably denounced ns labor's enemies and branded as tools of capitalistic greed, the necessity exists for labor to gain wisdom through its own experience. It is gaining this rapidly In this city, if report is to be believed. The ex perience is costly but instructive. Its leson cuts deep. For a man who has been so long upon the ground, Governor Taft's faith In the Filipinos Is rather mil prising when compared to the reports of the generals who have been engaged In pacifying the Malays. The Next Step in Expansion. URING the foimatUc stages of I ho public's discussion of "expansion," one contribu tor whose arguments gained widespread notice for their lucidity and manifest evidence of painstaking research was Charles A. Gardiner, esq., of the New York city bar. Ills defense of the constitutional power of congress to acquire, (ine for and make needful disposition of new territory anticipated, if It did not help to shape, the final decision of the Supreme court, under whU.li Porto Itlco and the Philip pines are now being governed, No voice more Intelligently compiehendiM the magnitude of the Issues rulsed or sounded forth more logically in behalf of the ripest nationhood. In uu address wlio'io main features we print elsewhere) .Mr, Gardiner now gives timely consideration to some of the larger commercial consequences of expansion. The analysis which he makes of the distribution of our export trade Is calculated to put into the average citizen's mind u new under standing of the political importance of trade statistics. Especially will it halt the tendency among thinking Ameri cans to glory in Great lirltutu's alleged decline, since it makes clear that if Great lh'ltaln wero going Into a de cline the worst suffeier, next to the Kiigll'sh people themselves, would be the Inhabitants of the United Stales. Ills treatment of the question or our relations with the Dominion of Canada is also masterly, There was u time In the evolution of our Protective system when good argument could be offered li favor of n, high turiff wall between this country and Ills Majesty's North American colony; but conditions In the past fow years have so broadened on this side of the border and the establishment and entrenchment of our Industries have been so thoroughly demonstrated that the time hus now como to look outward for expanded fields of profitable outlet for the sur plus production of our busy factories and mills; und nowhere Is the outlool; moie.lnvltlng, from both a commercial '"til a political standpoint, than In this great undeveloped Anglo-Saxon agricultural umpire to the north of us, whpso fertile fields will in the next (ew decades become the harvest homes of multiplying millions of men and women of our own race uud blood. "We want to Jmvo our fullest sharo in this certain upbuilding of a great eointnonweallh, and In order to get wo must not be afraid to give. Then let destiny do the rest.

It has now been fully demonstrated Hint France was the only nation disin terestedly ngulnst us tit the, beginning of the Spanish war. Marconi's Romance. TWO YEA US ago last Novem ber on the steamer St. Paul Mr. Mai conl, the Inventor of wireless telegraphy, met for the first time Miss Josephine Ilolmnu, rtn nltraetlve and well-educated young woman, then 22 years of age. The mooting came about hi this way: Mr. Marconi was making bis first tests of his Invention. A friend of the Ilolniuns suggested that a small paper be print ed on board ship containing some of the wireless messages received through means of the Marconi apparatus. This was done, and then copies at $1 apiece wero sold for the benefit of the Sen men's Home, Miss Holnian acting as treasurer of the fund. The acquaintance between the young Italian and the fair tieasurer, thus formed, was continued until last April, when it ripened Into nn engagement to marry. No Information lias been made public from any authoritative source as to the reasons why this en gagement luia now been broken at Miss Holman's request, further than that "nothing of nil Invidious nature hhs arisen"; in other words, there Is no misconduct. It is, however, Intimated that the Inventor sought to prolong the engagement until he could com plete the solution of certain Important scientific and commercial problems of vital interest to himself and gave such close attention to bis work that Insuf ficient time was devoted to those po lite social attentions which engaged women desire. From tills fact It Is said that u feeling of pique developed. There is, perhaps no warrant for public discussion of a subject so pe culiarly personal and private; but all the world loves a lover; and we are sure that the hopp will be general that this cloud in the horizon of an interest ing caieer may speedily pass out of sight. The woman who should wish her fiancee to neglect his work espe cially at a most critical time would certainly show a lack of that sympath etic interest and confidence which is essential to a trustful and successful married life. Those interested In the welfare of the Mine Workers will no doubt regret that Miss Meredith has contracted the "statement" habit. Is the White Houso Unsafe? N TUB Outlook George Kennan gives good reasons why the "White House should be enlarged. At the present time the clerical work of the executive ofllcc necessi tates the employment of a legula'r force of about twenty men; and for their accommodation, with all their desks, typewriting machines, letter files, etc., there arc, he says, only four looms of very moderate size, one of which is used in part as a reception and wait ing room for persons who desire to see the president or his secretary. Occa sionally when there is a pi ess of ex ecutive business clerks fiom the de partments are specially detailed for White IIou.sC service; and these men have to be crowded Into offices already occupied by the regular force. Recently, Mr. Kennan says, Mr. Cortelyou, the ellltlent secielary to the president, had to put seventeen slenoguiphers, type writers and topylsts into a luom that outfit not to have held moie than three. As the work of the executive ofllce is continually Increasing, requiring lrom time to time additions to the force of clerical assistants, It Is evident that something will soon have to bo done. Another point made by Mr. Kennan is that the White House, tor the pur poses to which it Is now being put, is unsafe. He writes; "This overcrowd ing of the White House generally, and of the upper part of the ofllcial wing in particular, not only Involves great ! Inconvenience, but Is attended with some risk. The building Is now more than u century old, and although It Is still strong enough structurally to answer ull the purposes of n private residence, there Is considerable doubt us to the question whether Us lloors can be trusted to bear the weight that Is occasionally put upon them. It is not regarded as perfectly safe now for the president to receive Inrge delega tions In the upper part of the building; and Colonel lilngbam, superintendent of public buildings and giounds, told President McKinley that If inoio than two thousand persons were Invited to a single Wiilto House reception, he the president must assume responsibility for any accident that might occur. Owing to the fact that the offices in the second story are mainly over the largo East room, they have no ade quate partition suppoit, and ctinuut bo strengthened by the putting In of undei pinning. They are regurded, there fore, as somewhat untrustworthy, and nothing but ulwoluto necessity would have compelled the president's secre tary to load the lloor of one of them with the weight of seventeen men and their desks. The risk bud to be taken because the work had to be done; and there wus no other pluce to put the clerks who weie doing ii," The moio narration of these facts Is Btiinclent to point to what should bo done. When the White House wus built It was fitting that the president's work shop and his home should bo under one roof, Hut that condition has long since ceased to bs. The president now needs u home separated from the scene of his dully wrestles with ofllce-seekers, mid designed with a view to giving blm that privacy In his doiuehtlo relations which Is his birthright as an Ameri can citizen. The question of cost is minor. The question of safety and fair, ness Is supreme. COMMERCIAL PROBLEMS ARISING FROM EXPANSION tli lltcliulie Wire from The Aoclaloil I'rcM. Now Yoik, Jan, 22.

In nil tenltory protected by the doctrlho a monopoly, In short, of American commerce for American,, a against the ret of the world.

Negotiations for sitdi treaties should be Initialed by the United States a the prlmaic of the Aiueiican system, und should pro ceed not through Pan-Aineilcan congresec, but directly with cadi protected republic.

Our Trade In the Orient. The cNpansion of our commerce wcstwaid must be on that great oceon, Seward's "commercial buttle ground of the world," where Karon llueb ncr beheld "written the futuie history of the Anglo-Saxon race," There the nation. are al teady gatlioilng for the mighty conflict, fngland pu;hed the Canadian railway lo foster her Ori ental trade. Russia built her tians-Siberiuti road for the same purpose. Ceimany and Fiance and Italy want Pacific ports and trading area?. Of ell the nation struggling for the trade of the Ori ent, our is tlio only one naturally entitled to It. London and Paris nnd Dcrlin and St. Petersburg aie on the other side ot the globe; but we have a Pacific coast Hue of 4,000 miles.

Lxciuding Noilb America, the foieign conimcire of these people alteady amounts to $2,500,000,000 a jear, History shows that what ever nation eontiol this commerce contioU the trade of the wotld.
