Taft and Teddy (New Haven Union.) They're at it again, Big Bill Taft is swinging a powertul right on the pro- spective candidacy of Terrible Teddy and the country confidently expects that the doughty ex-chieftain of Sag- amore Hill will counte; Meanwhile ‘'we should worry.” Thé great republi- can circus is divided against itself and Woodrow Wilson, at the head of the successful government at Washington still lives. Teddy made Taft president, under- standing that “My Policies” would be carried out. Taft let “My Policies” go by the board and hitched his wagon to the Aldrich, Barnes and Root stellar system. Then the irate Teddy cut the slender thread and the easy going Taft was unceremoniously. dumped. Taft took a very dignified fall and even a man of his general good nature can not be expected to forget, Now that Roosevelt seems to have the drop on the republican party, apparently has the elephant cornered, it is not sur- prising that the other ex-president, nursing his grudge, should warn the elephant against letting the Sagamore Hill chief again become the rider. All good democrats will smile, enjoy the scrap and tend to their knitting. Ohio to New York. (Collier’'s Weekly.) “I like New York, but I'll be glad to get back to Arcanum. I like Ohio folks better. New York is too big,” the interviewer reports Cham- pion Hanes. Champion Hanes is the lad that grew 153 bushels of corn to the acre in Ohio, where they tell us the average yield is about forty bush- els to the acre. And persuading al most four bushels of corn to grow where one grew before is a sufficient title to champion. Anyhow, young Hanes won first place in the Buck- eye State’s Junlor contests and got a free trip to New York city on the Buckeve Corn Special along with 237 other boys and girls. The boy who can make a little patch of soil hand over 153 bushels of corn is a pretty important person. New York to Ohio. ‘Why Not, if possible, find a cham- pion of something-or-other in New York city—say, selling newspapers? Then fill a train with them and others members of his guild and send them all out to see Ohio and how the corn grows. Most of them might yearn to get back to where they could shoot craps on a Manhattan pavement. But a few—perhaps only one or two-— might remember the cornfields and think and think until some day they took a ticket to Ohio, this time to stay. Is th¢ Dogfish Good Eating? (Providence Journal.) A doctor, connected with the Har- vard Medical school, is the latest au- thority to vouch for the dogfish as entirely fit for human food. It seems that he is an angler, and he declares that for years he has eaten all the dogfish he happened to hook. He served it on his table, and does not disguise the name of the dish when friends are asked to make a meal of dogfish. It tastes llke weakfish, ac- cording to the doctor. ' Weakfish, hereabouts called squeteague, is very good eating, as most everybody ¥nows. He declares that the flesh 1s not so coarse as that of the sword- fish, and the taste really not S0 strong. The proof, undoubtedly, is in the eating. If consumers were generally inclined to risk a test, the efforts of State authorities and the fishing in- terests to solve the vexatlons dog- fish problem, by eating the dogfish, might make some headway. This small shark is a costly nuisance to fishermen. No practical way has been suggested to abate it except to induce the public to regard the dog- fish a food fish. But, so long as the public does not respond to the ap- peal, this is not a practical way ei- ther. Being plentiful, it should be cheap. The damage it causes by destroying gear, as well as other fish and lob. sters, is great, so that if the fishing industry had the encouragement of a market the campaign to “rid the sea” of it might be prosecuted with vigor. The demand for dogfish fer- tilizer and oil does not seem to profitable enough to promote desired object.

In the days of its supremacy, it was as vain and rich and show storied Hamadan, the pride of ear- lLiest Persia, the city of seven walls in seven colors, with palaces wrought in gold ana silver and frescoed with precious stones. Modern Teheran is the inheritor of the traditions and the pride of Ragae and of Hamadan, and i the ancient honors of Pasargadae ana Persepolis. With the rise of Tcheran, Media regained the place that it lost to Persia in the time of Cyrus. narchy has ruled within the capi- tal in a way more or less pronounced during the last several years, and the people of the city have accomplished Iille toward its modernization and the development of its importance as a pizce of commerce and manufacture. There is an important caravan-trade, which passes through Teheran toward the Russian borders, and a certain » anufacture of cotton, linen, carpets, shoes and iron products. Its busi- ness is enough to give support to a population of about 260,000, in which are included about 600 FEuropeans. “The climate of Teheran is mot a favorable one, and especially are the summers unhealthy, when all of the veople who can get away go to the foothills in the north Writing in 1596, a Persian gives a pathetic sum- mary of a Teheran summer. He that the air was too hot and even smelly, that the water was heavy and unwholesome, and, in short, every- thing so bad that the Angle of Death ran away from it. But, then, this author wrote shortly after a fearful cholera plague had passed over the city. The nearby-contrast of the cool summer gardens in the foothills, like- ly, has conspired to give the Teheran summer a bad standing.” a Premature. (New Haven Register.) It is not in the least surprising that the general army staff should be found, at'this nervous time of wait- ing, amusing itself with the construc- tion of a plan of censorship, to be ap- plied like a deluge of damp sand, or a candle extinguisher, to the publicity promotion system of this country—in case we should have war. Fortun- ately any such plan would have to pass the censorship of the highest i officers of the army, of the President land congress, before it were ap- { proved, and would not be effective un- | til we are actually engaged in war. | So it may hardly be regarded as at present a proper thing about which to worry. It may be said for it, however, that it is both premature and it reck ons without the host. This is Amer- ica, and whether at peace or at war we shall have our own ways. They will not be copies of the ways of any of the nations experienced in war, either. ~ Any unprejudiced observer of the workings of the censorship in its greatest strongholds will find lit- tle in it to commend to our imitation, whatever might be our exigency. Ger- many has the most effective censor- ship, but its chief result is to con- ceal the truth from the people at home. That may be effective for the present ends of the government— but after it the deluge. Wait till the German people learn how they have been deceived! Britain has a censorship that efficient on the one hand and sens on the other. Tts chief effect there has been to keep down national spirit and hinder en- listment. If we were to jump into war tomorrow, the chief effect of any censorship which might be applied— if it were effective at all—would be to prevent our own people from know- ing the facts. Secret agents of every country interested, already cated here, would send by hroadcast all the information enemies desired. In short, the ancient applied to modern conditions, is something worse than a failure. If the general army staff does not know that, it furnishes the most convincing | proof of its own inefiiciency. | censorship, Prussianizing Our Press, (Waterbury Democrat.) Captain Boy-Ed's val-dictory to the United States was a tirade American press. He appeared to at- tribute his recall solely to the ani- mosity of American editors. And his Jast words to the American people, whose hospitality he had betrayed, were that we should eventually adopt the German method and give the gov- ernment strict control of the news- papers. The bad taste of this an- nouncement need hardly be comment- ed on. It is enough to remark, as the New York World doe “Our own military observers in Germany came home long ago because in decency they could not endure the unfriendli- ne: with which they were regarded. They quit Germany to preserve their own self-respect.” And they had par- ticipated in no plots against the laws, industry or honor of Germany, and had not been subjected to charges of any sort. If the German attaches had had similar , they would have . departed Waiving questions of courtesy and delicacy, however, it's odd the way Captain Boy-Ed puts the cart Lefore the horse with regard to American journalism. It was his own acts that drove him out of the country, not the publicity they entailed. As for the criticism h& objects to so strongly, it is the chief glory of our press that it is free to criticise y man living no matter how exalted his place or how great his official immunity, It is ~§ American press that by insisting on the elimination of meddling aliens, and supporting the government in dis- missing them, has been the chief fac- tor in preserving American self- respect. And the American peopfe are hardly ready yet to take the word of a Prussian diplomat for it that a Prussianized press preferable to the freest and most honest in the world. press Hard to Please Everybody. (Bridgeport Farmer.) With complaints because the presi- dent will not call a war in Mexico, and Mr. Roosevelt's mouring be= cause the president does not fight for Belgium, and Mr. Bryan's assertion that the president wants too much preparation, comes Col. Harvey, with a plaint that the president has tap much power to start a war, more he says, than any of the crowned heads of rope. Nevertheless Europe is fighting with might and main, and America has no war. The theoretical powers of the American president would be more disturbing if Mz Roosevelt were in the White House. The president has at least as m power to keep the peace as he has to start a war. Mr. Wilson is all fgr the exercise of the peace power, but Mr. Roosevelt is strong for the war power.
