Belgium crowded with people to hope ever to regain its lost possibilities as an agri- cultural country. In mines and manu- factures it s susceptible of vast im- provement, but it must buy its food from other lands. Lifted from abject poverty, the masses will demand more and more of the world's produce, and the granaries of the United States will have a new market as the Belgians are developed along modern lines. Pros- perity for this long down-trodden people will be a source of additional gain for progressive producing nations, King Albert has it in his power to lift his millions of subjects from ignorance and want into education and happi- ness, and in so doing he will be benefit- ing humanity at large, from every high, as well as every selfish point of view. | king has learned travels is too Congressional Criticism. of the members of congress have been taking up the time of the house with attacks upon officials of the executive department for criticisms of that body.

The wisdom of deferring congress- ional exploitation of the sugar ring | frauds is manifest in the success of the prosecution under way in New York, where five of the offenders have already been found guilty. When the government shall have exhausted its ability to reach the ringleaders with the arm of criminal indictment will be time enough for a congressional com- mittee to expose any ramifications that are beyond the power of the prosecu- tions, and exposure then will be just as effective without having hindered the administration’s efforts. Flve verdicts of guilty are a distinct encouragement. The jury's disagree- ment over the case of Bendernagel, a former cashler, while disappointing to the government, may prove to be of real service, for Bendernagel testified that his deeds were at the instigation of men higher up, and on his retrial to disclose some of the chief offenders not yet discovered. Fortified with the records of the cases just closed, the government may be regarded as in a position to present even stronger evi- dence in the trial of the additional in- may confidently expect that no of- fender is to be permitted to escape if guilt can be fastened upon him beyond \lh«- reasonable doubt to which every | defendant is entitled. The people of Kansas City have reg- istered a vote against the extension of the franchise of the street rallway com- pany of that eity.
