Boston had the henor of having President Taft as its bright particular star on the Fourth, and those who helieve in a safe and sane Fourth will be pleased with his impressive little address to the children of “the Hub,” when he said: - “My dear boys and girls: I am de- lighted to be here on the Fourth of July and toscongratulate you on be- ginning this movement in favor of a sofe and sane Fourth. I always pre- fer a live boy or girl to'a dead or wounded one, and I sincerely hope that this movement now begun and evi- denced by a statute of your state, be- zins for Massachusetts a great many wood things; th@t this may continue threughout the union; and that the lives of these little ones so dear to us not be sacrificed In the foolish re to make a noise. Good-bye. God bless you!” Those who hold in light esteem the sentimentalists who would save the children of America from harm by a more sensible and orderly observ- ance of the day will be somewhat sur- prised to hear these words from the chief executive of the land. The com- mercial spirit that stands for license end dollars regardless of damages to the youth of the country is a mean sptrit. The men and womem of the country are with Taft. DON'T PUT THE OLD FELLOW OuT. Just at the close of the 15th round of the Reno battle, this was the cry of the friends of Jeffries who desired to save him from the disgrace of an utter knockout: “Don’t put the old fellow out!” This marks a young man as an old fellow in the world of pugilism, for Jeffries was only three years older than Johnson—the battle was 32 against 35. And how much better the spirit of the fighting men at the ringside was than the spirit of the sporting world which raised disturbances and riots in a dozen cities. The words of the principals in the fight at the end were 1901, 1905, average ... Week ending July 2.. manly. Johnson, addressing the public: “I am happy and sad. Happy that I won today’s battle; sorry that I had to knock out such a famous fighter as Jim Jeffries. “I never was in ‘doubt of victory and it came out just as I had planned, I fought my own fight, 2 walting bat- tle, and have demonstrated I knew my own way the best. “I guess I have forever set at rest all talk about ‘veHow streaks’ My victory is not to be regarded as a vietory of color; color was not in- volved today. It was just plain box- ing sclence, stamina and punch. I bad all thred” Jefiries’ affirmation when the fight was over was: “I lost fairly and squarely, and there s nothing more to say. 1 did not underestimate Johnsomfls ability. It was my own ability to come back that 1 was mistaken in. I have no excuses i0 offer for defeat. I believe I was in perfect eondition, but It is sure that I wasn't the fighter I used to be. I thought I could come back and failed. I am very sorry to have lost, and sor- rier still to have disappointed the good friends who relied upon me and back- ©4 me to win. I did the best I could, but my best was not good enough. congratulate Champlon Johnson upon winning In a fair, square battle. Jiis victory was honestly earned. Johnson's egotism is excusable; Jef- fries’ statement is honorable. Jeffries i= down and out, with a fortune that =hould last him for life; and Johnson hias money enough and ability enough to leave prizefighting and to make his mark in a more honorable pursuit. It is some time since there was a fight of this kind and the fact that 5 had to be fought in Nevada, or might have been pulled off in Texas, shows how Mmited the territory is in this great country where such “mills” can be openly carried out and presages an end of them in America in the near future. / The Boston Post does not hesitate to say that “the sentiment aroused among the American people with re- gard to the matter will undoubtedly make itself evident in such amend- ment of the Jaws of Nevada as shall bring that state inte line with the great majority. Prizefighting as a commercial enterprise canmot recover from this experience. Those who saw the Reno exhibition have undoubtedly assisted at the final demonstration of that magnitude in the United State: Gentleman James Corbett has al- ways showed great ability in suddenly changing his tune, but he never did so with more suddenness and skill tham he Wid at Reno on the Fourth. A Cineinnati judge has decided that = man wbo is called a “scab” has not been imjurad. Ji is jverse to be onel being entertained just prior to the intreduction of steami and the open- ing of the Norwich & Worcester rail- road. The Telegram, exploiting the matter, saps “Worcester men are taking more in- terest in canals since they have read the amnnouncement of the convention of waterways advocates at Providence the first of September. ‘Why can’t we have that old Providence canal open- ed?” “Would that be large enough to amount to anything?’ “Why not work for a canal from Worcester to New London and then for an extensfon to Boston?” These are some of the questions they are asking among themselves. They are talking that if the country is to pay for the inside waterway as proposed from Maine to Florida, the coast cities like Proyi- dence and Boston, are to get the mbst benefit. Then it must be up to thefin- land cities, to move for a still lafger system of canals, and to Worcester belongs the first move. because it is the largest of the list of inland cities. The outlook now is that there will be something more than a formal Jele- gation of Worcester business men to attend that convention of waterways promoters because it is near here. “The chances are that there will be Worcester men there prepared to make suggestions as to what this city would | are like In the way of supplementary ca- nals, One Worcester man admits that he may go there prepared to claim that the way through Worcester and Norwich is the only right way to take the commerce by a canal. He has gathered some ideas about distances and possible expense of cutting ca- nals across Massachusetts, and he is looking for more of them “He has been told that the canal which is being cut across the neck of Cape Cod will never be sufficient be- cause it does not open the way for ships far enongh away from the ter- rors of the cape. Then it becomes a question as to how far away a ship canal shall be dug to make it right for all time, with the tremendous in- crease of commerce that is coming to New England. “When that question is solved right the canal may be a long wavs from ending in waters about Providence, so far that it will extend digect from Boston, through Waltham, to Worces- ter, and then directly south through Oxford and Webster and down the French river to Norwich and New Lon- don. That would be more expensive than any Massachusetts canal that has ever been given the name of Cape Cod, but it would open the way to more industry than js possible to half a dozen canals adywhere near the cape. That is the point for Worces ter men to consider, and that Provi- denec session is the place for putting it before tha country unger the head of necessary waterways.” COTTON GOODS IN LATIN AMER- ICA. Although the United States grows two-thirds of the cotton consumed in the world,| yet it supplies to foreign nations only a fraction of the manu- factured cotton goods they consume. This is equally true of nations on this continent, where, by reason of proxim- ity and other advantages, the United States should naturally control the trade. To tion, investigate this peculiar situa- and find out what can be done to enlarge the share of the United States In the trade of American na- tions to the south of this country, the bureau ,of manufactures sent W. A. Graham Clark, an experienced cotton manufacturer, to Cuba, Mexico, and the Central and South American na- tions, Two volumes of reports have just been printed, and present many interesting facts. Cuba gives the United States a 30 per cent. preference on cotton goods and 40 per cent. on knit goods, and vet this country supplies only 10 per cent. of Cuba’s imports of such goods, the United Kingdom furnishing 50 per cent. Mr. Clark says that the United States might have a larger proportion of the trade if the exporters would make a closer study of the details which attract Cubans. Mexicd manufactures considerable of the cotton goods consumed in that country, but the m with the growing demand. The ed Kingdom again leads in the port trade, the TUnited States coming second and Germany third. And vyet Mexico is conmected with the United States by both fail and water routes, and this country is her best customer. Central America buys all the cotton goods consumed, the United Kingdom Unit- im- furnishing one-half of the supply and | the United States, Germany and other | ing countries the remainder. The United States predominates the total trade of all of those coun- tries excepting Guatemala, but leads in supplying cotton goods only in Honduras. The United States sup- plies 63 per cent. of Mexico's imports, 47 per cent. of Cuba’s and 47 per cent. of those of ‘Central America, but in cotton goods it supplies only 17 per | cent. of the imports of al lof those countries. Brazil is the second largest import- er of cotton goods in South America. The United States buys more of Bra- zil's produets than any other nation, but supplies her with only 235 per cent. of her imports of cotton goods, the quantity having declined consid- erably in recent vears. The United States supplies Colombia with only one-fifth of her requirements in cot- tons, and there has been a decline of over one-half in the exports to that country since 1903. Venezuela gets only one-thirteenth of her supply of cotton goods from the United States. Mr. Clark throws considerable light on this condition of things, and the Burean of Manufactures hopes for better results after these reports Rave | ‘been well circulated. EDITORIAL NOTES.

True words were those uttered a few Ways ago by the venerable and esteemed Judge John L. Hopkins, of Georgia, a jurist and legislator who stands at the head of the Georgia bar. In a communication to the Atlanta Constitution this Georgian Nestor iz part remarked: “I am an old man sitting to one side at the end of the long road and waching the proces- sion treop by. * * * And I fell vou, calmly and with deliberation, weigh- my words with the care of one who has learned to be economical with emphasis_that the greatest prob- lem of our day—your day, more ac- curately speaking—is the making of citizens instead of crimfnais out of the masses of the negroes that every- where in the south eddy and swirl into the body politic of the Anglo- Saxon.” Good, words and true. man liveth to ‘himself and no com- community’s welfare as a_whoe. The great thing is the recognition that so- cidty is a unit. If part of the body politic is bad the whole suffers and is liable to dterioration. Judge Hop- kins pleads against the spirit of hatred, rancor and rgprisal and it is good to know that the Atlanta Con- stitution finds this sentiment endorsed by the Georgia mewspapers, court offi- cials and probation officers.

Out of his total official ahd private income of about $11,000,000 Nicholas s supposed to support 17 of his grand-ducal relatives, but most of these have large estates, and get little from the Czar. The Czar also supports the St. Peterburg academy of and makes good the deficit on the working of the Imperial the- aters. On the St. Petersburg ballet there is a loss of $100,000 a year. But theee expenses are trifles. “What the Czar does with the rest of his enor- mous wealth no one knows. His penuriousness beats Abdul Hamid’s. Ile keeps no harem. He glves no rtainments.
