In the pathway toward a year of happiness, it is well to remember that being a good fellow is not necessarily being good. New Yorkers are launcmnx a new party to fight Tammany. Why? The late returns were that Tammany was knocked out. The voice of peace in the switchi- men's strike must either have an im- pediment..of speech or else has fallen upon deaf ears.

President Lowell of Harvard gave utterance to some thoughts concerning economics, during the week, which af- ford a lesson to the voter at large, in every walk of life. Many a careless citi- zen ghies at the word economics, but if guch an one will but give heed to Prof. clear-cut definition of it as the study in the natural sciences which is simple in its pur- poses, which no nomenclature beyond the intelligence of the ordinary man to comprehend, and constricted solely to the topic of the government of man and the things man uses for his com- fort, he will find that nothing else so concerns him, President Lowell discloses a faith that politics is not &0 hopelessly evil as the reformer would claim. Indeed, one a part compares of the Harvard | president, him to &/ woodpecker striving loudly for a whole | day to drill a hole in a copper gutter pipe. He concludes that all reform | movements need advice from people who are thoroughly familiar with the | actual workings of political institu-| tions. Reformers, he adds, are too prone to believe that they have a| panacea that will change humanity, whereas man is likely to remain as he who and the mass indiffer- | personal interests President Lowell well says that the library is not the laboratory of politi- cal science, In the outside world the phenomena of politics must be sought, | and the student of politics derives in- | caleulable benefit from a personal fa-| miliarity with public life. Good people | who stand aghast at the methods em- ployed In public life which they them- gelves commonly employ in more pri- vate affairs, are berated by Dr. Lowell, who admits that things are inevitable and legitimate in party organization which the rabid reformer fails so to dis- tinguish from things which are repre- hensible. And those who rail at a politi- cal machine of any kind do not hesitate to conduct with great complacency a ciety. Frequently politics is not so heated in a state central committee as it is in a sewing circle. These and simi- lar things Dr. Lowell is free to admit, and his practical view of the necessi- contrasted with some of the impracticabilities, injustices and ac- tual wrongs committed in the name of reform, afford interesting reflections casual voter, Revival of Waterways. We seem not to be the only nation that is turning seriously to the an- clent rivers for solution of the vexed problem of transportation. While we are projecting deeper waterways that shall restore the commerce of the Mis® souri, the Mississippi and the Ohio, France is in the thick of a campaign to make the Loire navigable from source to mouth. This is the longest river in that country, and penetrates the very heart of France, putting a wide region of vineyards, collieries, quarries, forests and factories in di- rect communication with the Atlantic by means of a series of canals which accommodates only shallow craft and which has long since become inade- quate to convey the commerce or to de- velop the industries of the inland country to the proportions deemed pos- sible. Having determined that the Loire must be made over as a deep and per- manent channel for modern vessels, the French have gone into the project with their characteristic spontaneous enthusiastic, and are planning for the removal of a series of islands from the river, excavation of sandbars by whole- sale, the wattling of the banks to guard against the washings of the floods, and the dredging out and walling in of some 600 miles of bed, at an expense running into vast millions. When the experience of the French there may be a tendency on the part of Americans to be skeptical about this undertaking, but it must be remem- bered that the failure of the De Lesseps scheme was due to graft and incom- petency, and that the Panama enter- prise was far removed from the popu- lar eye, while the Loire improvements are going on at home under the direct and practical charge of governmental engineers, The special interest of the United States in the making of the Loire navigable lies in the fact that| this river 1s the direct and natural route between America and central Burope. Nantes, at the mouth’of the Loire, is 124 miles nearer New York than {8 Havre, and the improved Loirg and its canals will open up to Ameri- can trade a vast inland field now ac- cessible only by roundabout and expen- sive railroad transportation, and will give New York an all-water route for treight clear into Switzerland. Befogging the Issue. The lawyers who are taking part in the discussion of court reforms are giv- ing the public a very illuminating ex: ample of the style of procedure that has caused the clamor agalnst ‘“‘the law’'s delay.” Instead of drtving di- rectly to the point at issue, they are proceeding after the circumlocutory manner that has won for the lawer a place in literature to which no other profession aspires. They have been be- fogging the issue by dragging in collat- eral or hypothetical points that do not bear, except remotely, on the main question. One side is attempting to lay the blame on the favorable leaning of the courts to wealthy men, another side | the time white men first set fool upon | brings up the allegation that the cor- poration attorneys are responsible for the failure of reforms, another charges the public, itself, with failing to accept the lawyer's advice and o0 it goes Courts were established for the pur- pose of adjusting matters of dispute between individuals and to enforce the | authority of organized society over its separate members, The court does not, or gshould not, at least, know, rich or poor, corporation, firm or individual, The law applies with equal force to all, and one should not have any advan- tage over another in any cage. The only possible natural advantage a rich man can have over the poor man is that he can better afford to abide the slow- moving process of the court. The cor- poration has a similar advantage, be- cause its attorneys are paid whether they work or not, while the individual must hire his lawyer by the job. The argument does not tirn on these | Eminent jurists and barriste unite in statements that our court pro- cedure that many of our methods are archaic, and that the expedition of justice requires that cer- tain reforms be adopted. These reforms have been suggested again and again, but the bar associations in their local meetings are slow and chary to take steps to make them effective. Instead | of clearing away to the achievement de- sired they have raised up clouds of technicalities that advantage, neither | them or the public. Some day the re- forms will be forced. It is much better | that they should come from within, points, is cumbersome, Official Judgment Lacking. | Without in any way desiring to re-| the lamentable and tiresome Peary-Cook controversy, one may \\nll" be pardoned for inquiring whether | there is not to be an attempt made to | clinch the judgment in favor of Peary by official verdict. As the case stands, the University of Copenhagen reported Cook's claim not proven, and a com- mittee from the National Geographic society rendered judgment in favor of Peary. But the National Geographic so- ciety is not a national body, nor has it any connection with the government. It is purely a private organization con- sisting of some 50,000 members scat- tered through the country whose mem- bership consists of subscribing to a| magazine issued by the society. It has no international recognition, and al- ready its standing in this country is being cynically referred to by fellows of the Royal Geographical society in London, fellowship in which means recognized scientific standing. The criticism is made that the so-called na- tional society at Washington is not a serious-minded body of scholars repre- sentative of the nation, but that its membership is thrown in like a trad- ing stamp as a premium for the maga- zine subscription referred to. It can readily be estimated where this criticism will lead among skeptics abroad. The idea s bound to grow in Europe that Peary has been proclaimed discoverer of the pole solely by a pri- vate body which was known to be in sympathy with him in advance, and which actually aided in financing his expedition. As Americans, we are in- terested in clinching our claim to the pole. But has officlal judgment con- firmed the claim so that in case of subsequent polar explorations it will not be disputed among other nations? Peary was a representa- tive of the United States navy while on his voyage. Yet our Naval ob- servatory, the most extravagantly equipped in the world, has failed to pass upon his case. He was on the gov- ernment’s official roll, yet no depart- ment of the federal administration has examined his proofs. Thus far the American claim to the discovery of the North pole rests alone upon the decis- fon of a private committee of a civilian gociety, sustained by a membership akin to the Chautauqua system. It be- gins to look as though there was sound gense in Rear Admiral Schley's pro- posal that Peary get a verdict from across the water. It may be found use- ful later. vive The Red Man's Future, Nineteen years ago Big Foot's de- voted band of Sioux braves made the last stand of the Indian in armed re- sistance to the white man’s govern- ment in the United States. In the bloody carnage of that New Year's day at Wounded Knee was written the last | word in the chapter that had run from the continent almost four centurles be- | fore. With the bringing in of the| prisoners taken to the camp at Pine| Ridge began the new story of life for | the Indian. All over the west it has been the| same, It is one of steady advance for the red man in the better ways of his| white brother. The Indian has been taught to be self-sustaining in a coun- try where much effort is required to| achieve support. The young man who | was trained as a warrior before the| day on which Big Foot fell is now an| energetic man of affairs busy with his farm or other occupation, while his| son, born since that day, hears no more | songs of the trail or recitations of | glories to be won in battle, or deeds of | daring achieved through personal prowess, and the reward that comes alone to him who can command it ns> a follower of the trail, whether it be the war path or the hunt. He is now schooled in the learning of the white | man and versed In the crafts of civili- | zation, and sot upon his feet and told | to stand alone in ways of peace that were not the ways of his father. | The work has gone beyond the ex- perimental stage and its results bave so far been most satisfactory. Only a little while before the fight at Wounded Knee one perhaps better ac- {ops is that 'ty | ful directors of a gr | tural economists. | western and Pacific states the number | gained in value from 67 to 71 per cent. | Kan quainted with the Sioux than any other white man living or dead, said “You may tame the Sioux Indian, but you can no more domesticate him than you can domesticate the Amerfean cagle or the grizzly bear Yet within | a generation the Sioux Indian has not only been tamed, mesticated but he has-been do- to such a degree that the author of the remark quoted has ex- pressed his surprise and confessed his error. What is true of the Sioux Indian is true in a greater or less degree of all other Indians. They are being domes- ticated. Whether they will be assim- ilated or will remain a distinct race | time only can tell. But the future of the red man seems to bo certain; he will become useful citizen Terrors of the Rail.

Man, being an imitative animal, is led into adopting new ways, but he is adapted few, and out of this frequently grows confusion, and occasionally dis- aster. a well as new diseases warily For example, one of the highly use- railway s dined on Christmas day with the chief owner of the railroad in question. As the dinner was served at the country home of the railroad magnate the menu is withheld from public inspec- tion, that {t was a feast the | Jjoys of the occasion which com- memorated. At any rate later the highly useful direcior, fee ing moved to give his friends a touch of real life, started something in Wall street. The price of the stock jumped more than thirty peints in less than thirty minutes and then flopped as quickly back. This sort of exercise doesn’t sit well with Wall street men, especially in the “cold grey dawn of the morning after,” and inquiry as to the cause of the strange conduct of the | stock brought out the fact den upward swoop was stem but the inference is easy commensurate with it two day that its sud- merely (he re- sylt of a desire on the part of the man who had been dining well to continue the fun a little while longer. About the same time the vice pres dent of another railroad astonished and delighted the employes of the de- partment under his control by notify- ing them of a considerable increase in pay, the new salary rate to take effect at once. After the fortunate men had gone home and told their wives, and while they were still receiving the con- gratulations of their friends, came the disappointing word that the vice presi- dent whose liberality they were cele- brating had been adjudged insane and taken to a hospital for treatment. Of course, his order for a general Increase in salary was declared null and void. The mere: fact that he ordered higher pay for the men under him was, per- haps, not taken as prima facie evidence of his insanity. These cases are set out as illustra- tions of the new terrors of the rail from which poor humanity has no re- | treat. A Census of Agriculture, On the heels of Secretary Wilson’s report of the farmer’'s banner year it is edifying to review the progress in agriculture made during the past de- cade. This will not be possible from . o [ official sources until the government's census of 1910 shall have been com- piled and analyzed, and that result is not likely to be ready for the public for two or three years; but from the statistics painstakingly gathered by the staff of the Orange Judd Farmer it is possible to glean a forecast which seems a reasonably accurate presenta- tion of the conditions on January 1, 1910, as compared with 1900, The increase in the number of farms during the decade fs approximately | 1,000,000, and the rise in value more | than $9,000,000,000, while the gain in the annual value of farm products has | been nearly $5,000,000,000.
