As long as there seemas to be need of vlearing up the sitmation regarding rum rumning vessels, which remain outside of our three-mile limit but which are imquestionably” there for the purpose of disposing of their liquor cargo to these from this country who are willing to buy and take it away, or possibly have St Jeltvered, it is perhaps just as well that the British protest against the sefzure of the Emerald should bé made at ¢his time. We have just found out that Great Britain is unwilling to ap- prove of any extension of the territor- fal limit, and i we have gone beyond our rights in connéction with the seiz- ure of ‘the Emerald it is time to find it sut, stopthe practice and deal with the situation n the proper manner. There seems to be mo question over the faet that the Pmerald was a rum runper, It had a right to have such a eargo on the high seas and it doesn't appear that it was doing business in- side our three-mile limit, although there is somé quéstion whether it was by boats beionging to the- Emerald, or those which had put out from shore that the Mquor was being taken off the vessel. ‘The seizure was apparently bised wpon the claim that it was com- municating with shore by means of its own boats and that that furnished suf- Bctent ground for taking the vessel, ‘Whether this vessel was taken for fhe purpose of providing a test case, it s evident that it will serve as such. The protest js the second step in the progress ¢f the case and it would natu- rally be supposed that those who made the seizure would be prepared to de- fend their action. Whether that hap- pens to be =0 or not it is well to have the mattér up for a decision. If we are right it is time to have that fact fally established ; ¥ we are wrong it is evi- flent that we must repndiate the action n geizing the vessels and make what- sver amends aré necessary. But be- fore we proceed further in this direction there is wisdom in making sure 6f what ls right, STUDENTS PROVIDE FUEL. Placing restrictions on the use of coal until the first of November will come harder on some than on others. At Trinity college the stodents are not un- mindful of the importance of conmserv- ng codl, but neither are they uncon- scfous of the cool October days, Thus when they decide to go out and get such wood as they can obtain for the par- powe of providing a bit of heat it is set- ting an example which many others wonld do Wwell to foltow, Just what their foraging excursions have produced has not been learned but there is no question but what they can sbtain mech that will meet the require- wents and # 8 not improbable that much of it would otherwise have gene s waste. Woodlands mot many miles from the cities are filled with, just such mater- fal. Tt is not soch as would find a ready market and yet it can be con- verted into exeellent fuel. There .are those hillsides that have been burned over by forest fires, “where the dead trees stand Ike ghosts of their former welves, Some of these tracts have re- maimed in that condition for several years. Otbers have been more recently burmed over, but there is enough ma- terial in such places to msupply many institotions for a much longer period than that which intervemes between Bow and the first of November. s It is a time when many people, who might not otheérwise be willing to de- vote their time and patience to it, are going to make use of just such mater- il wherever it Is available, and no doubt those who can obtalned old rail- road tles are not golng to overlook the héat units that are to be gained by ronverting them iato firewood. The action of the Trinity students is e to be commended. They realize et thoge most likely to get ahead and wive problems are those who are ready o belp themselves.

Both coun- tries have had far better use for such to have in the future. ¥or a century a limited navy on the lakes. Four ves- sels apiece have been insignificant, and vet they have been even.more than were_needed. War vessels have not been” réquired because of the right sort of understanding between’ nations and the ability to adjust matters without re- sort to force, It is of course the one sensible way, and the decision to de away with such warships as have beem maintained on the lakes indicates not only tha exceilence of the course in the past but gives assurance that having stood the test it is going to be contin- ued in the future. It is an interesting example for other countries to study. A WISE DECISION. Regardless of the sympathy that was bound to be felt for the crew of the Henry Ford, who felt deeply the re- fusal of the judges to accept te race of Saturday, there was manifested the proper sporting spirit when they re- sponded to the order of Captain Mor- rissey to bend the mainsail and went into the race with the determination to win, again. Captain Morrissey and those who stuck by him were comverted by well directed appeals, and they stand in a far better position than they would had they consinued to refuse to race and thereby have disregarded ona of the important requirements of good sportsmanship. The second race was different from that of Saturday in that it was closer and it was raced under différent con- ditions. Nevircheless it showed the Henry Ford again the winner by a good margin. One race doesn't decide the series and yet from the two tests which have been made by the vessels repre- senting the fishermen fleets of the two countries there is excellent ground for confidence in the final success of the challenger. The contest has experienced too many disappointments in the way of prepara- tions to have permitted it to go by de- fault. When it was decided that the Mayflower could not be allowed to énter it was a decision that disappointed but it was accepted in a sportsmanlike spir- it. So far as can be seen all details of Saturday's race were in accord with rules except the failure to abide by the judges’ order at the start. Calling the race off therefore disappointed, but there was the failure to abide by the rules which could hardly be waived if rules are going to ameunt to anything henceforth, It was a time to go back and show that the American ship eould win and that was the prond accomplish- ment of Capt. Morrissey, his men ani vessel on Monday. LYMAN ABBOTT. Though he had lived far beyond th three score and ten, Rev. Lyman Abbott was by no means inactive. Only recent- 1y and then not completely had he been incapacitated. The strength of his mental condition is disclosed in the fact that he was actively engaged :in Inis editorial work up to & few days be- fore his death, thus virtually ending his days in the harness. Dr. Abbott, although a preacher long before that, came into his greatest prominence at the timeé when he was called to the Plymouth church in Brooklyn, N. Y., as the stccessor of Henry Ward Beecher. He was called upon to follow a great man and for a dozne years he responded to the situa- tion in a most commendable manner and became widely known as a preach- er with a message. Not only did he follow Beecher but he worked with him. This was in con- nection with his journalistic work. He was associated with him when Beecher was editor of The Christian Union, suc- ceeded him as editor over 40 years ago and when conditions changed convert- ed The Christian Union inte The Out- look which has since been directed by him and through which he has demon- strated his interést and force in pub- lic affairs. He was an indefatigable worker in behalf of good causes. ¢ was a leader whose influence has been broadly distributed and whose aid it was not difficult to enlist in helpful public projects. Death ends his career but it cannot efface the record he has made as preacher, author and editor.

There a few an: present high freight rates. He condemn- ed in most vigorous terms interference with transporfation caused by strikes and lockouts. On this subject he said: “There are two things about our transportation system which the farmers want fixed. “First, freight rates on agricultural products should be decreased. They are to6 high with relation to the prices the farmers get. Transportation is a part of production, so far as agriculture is con- cerned. The farmer pays the freight. He does not want the railroads to reduce freight rates so low that they can not furnish efficient service. Service is im- portant to the farmer. But freight rates are now too high. The farmers want the railroad people to cut down their operat- ing costs, to insist upon a fair day's work for a fair wage, to move their freight cheaper and thus be able to cut down rates. “Second, some way must be found to break monopolies of both capital and la- bor and keep them at work. These quar- rels between the railroads and the work- men, which hang up freight movement, must be stopped in some way or other. Farmers aje both capitalists and labor- ers. There is more.money invested in ag- riculture than in any other ' industry. There are more working people on the farms than in any other sort of work. But farmers get lower returns on their invested capital than the railroads get. They work longer hours and for much less pay than railroad workmen. Being both capitalists and laborers, the farmers can understand and sympathize with the just and lawful aspirations of both cap- ital and labor. Mére than this, the farm- ers want both to prosper so they can buy their crops at fair prices. Farmers re- cognize the right of capital to organize, because only in that way can large business enterprises be carried on. Farm- ers also recognize the right of labor to organize and be able to bargain effective- ly with organized capital. But farmers do mot recognize the right of labor or- ganizations to conspire and tie up rail- road traffic. Farmers have no sympathy with the sort of lawlessness which we had during the railroad strike.

Her majesty is a daughter of the late Prince Henry of Battenberg and Princess Bea- trice, you daughter of the late Queen . Victoria of Great Britain. She was named for hér granqmother, Queen ‘Victoria, and for the late Empress Eu- genie of France, who was her godmothér. She has been known as the beauty of the several branches of the English royal family, and is 6f a most attractive per- sonality. It is said of her that she is entirely up to date and very democratic, with 2 weakness Pfor missionary work, horseback ri@ing and motoring. The marciage of Princess Ena, as shé was known in her youthful days, to the young King of Spain took place at Madrid on May 31, 1906.
