THE BALANCE WHEEi.
For, the moment at least, the United States, otandi; in an enviable position among the nations of the earth. War with Mexico has been happily avoided. We are on good terms *'Jth every other country whose good will is worth seeking. Thus lar hav¬ ing made good our claim of strict nu- trallty, with vast crops lo feed the armies of other nations, verily a citi¬ zen of tbis country has cause lor self- congratulations.
Of course to make these claims good for tbe future, requires some of the wisdom that must ever go with good statesmansh'p, and out uf the wreck of politics, th 3 quality seems ever lo come forth as tho deniaud for it arises.
And in this connection comes the happy coincidence of the opening of tne Panama Canal.
Al the very time wheu every Euro¬ pean nation was declaring war ugainHt aome other nation, that splendid American engineer and gentleman who ha."? been the broad and brains of tho through tlie spicndld waterway, and vast canal project, was sailing quietly thus declaring taht this great achieve¬ ment of peace was at'complished.
MEN AND MONEY
Nearly every country in the world except the United States flnds itself In the situation where money seems even mfire imijortant than men. As population grow more dense, human life becomes cheap In proportion. Stu¬ dents of political economy can see the coming day when the theories of MalthUB Scatter are approjiehing veri¬ fication. And these theorieeN»ere in brief, that eventually Ihe world could not produce sufflcient food for its ever increasing population. A.s one sclen- list tersely states it "Humans breed too fast, nature breeds too slow."
Looked at from a purely materialis¬ tic point ot view, war at times,'^ems a positive blessing. It weeds out a vast host of undesirables. It increas* ea the activities of a country Immense¬ ly.
And those activities are not limited to the physical development alone, They certainly arouse the Intellectual faculties to a marked extent, and even the spiritual uplift, no man oan meas ure.
THE HEAVY TOU OF MISm SHffS
bv "SEnHTOR BLIHU ROOT"
That tht; eHtaWlshment—or, perhapa. 1 should eay the reeaUbllshmfcut— of an American Metrhant Marine Is one of the most important of the prob¬ lems presented by the opening cf the Panama Canal cannot be gainsaid by anyone who hna taken e*en a passing Interest in the Cannl and what it will lead to.
('onjld<r .South America alone. The moro distant countrleH ol this continent occupy a peculiar relation to the woild of production and trade. It Is but a few years olnee they were in the stage of niilllarixm, since continual revolutions and strife impeded their production and prevented ihelr purchacing power. But within the past gener¬ ation these great countries of fcouth America have passed out of this stage inlo that of induEtriallem. They art now on the ihreehold of a vast and purchas ing capacity.
These countries which but a few years ago, were the theatre of fcUife and bloodshed have now taken tiieii place among the great producing and pur- chaalnf nations of the tarih.
In the last iwelv^ yeais the trarte of Souih America increased trom ^'12,1/00,000 to ?l,6»;5,00O,00i<., The increase of imports was 109 per cent, of export« ifa per cent and of the total trade 13:1 per c<fnt.
Tho Arg<;'itlni Kepublic alone lias an annual trade ol 1700,000,000. JJrazil has a trade of SWO.OOO.COO!
The trade of South Auit rea is already more tban treble, almost quadiu- l»le, the entires' traJo of China.
Ko suddenly has this come that the trade of the^e countries is an open field for competition of ilie world. Their vast material wealth of agriculture, of mines aud of loreHiH is just beginning to develop In them a consuming and purchasing power such as hae never been equaled on earth, except in the United States. South America is still an open fleld for us to enter and al the oame tJuie, coliuidentally with the opening of this great new fleld tor the cou- sumption ot our i;roduct«, we Lave risen lo a polni where we are able to em¬ bark upon foreign trade. We ure loda> iu a sllualiOn where we cau aee itu- inediately before us the tiuif wiien we shall ceast to maiutaiu the balauce ol power In tln^ wo.'Ul ol comumice by the exportation of food products.
We are approaching the point when we shall consume all the food that we produce and we are dia>*iug toward the liine when more and more we ahall use our owu eoit.ou in making lu our own mills our own textiles fabrits.
^ Wheu we reach that pofni where are we going to pay for our euornioUH iiiucha.ses abroad but by tii>,> exportation ol iiiauufaoiured products and wliere are we going to sell them,^
An unwise admlnistraUon of the laws relating to the people of the Chin- i.'.se Kmpire has led fo" the reduction ol our trade with China to a comparative¬ ly insignificant amount. While our American diplomacy has been holding open the door oi tbe Orienl, American administration of the exclusion laws has been depriving American trade of the incenilve lo enter the open door by iaking away the willingness of the aJpaneses people to purchase in the Amer¬ ican markets.
Bul here ii; South Auieriea is the golden opportunity!
Not only is il true ihat this is a Kreat new held of growing purchasing power, but the characteri.-siies of these countries andMheir people difl'er so widely from our.s that we ar-i' not liable to compete. We fu.rniuh what they do i.ot produce. They have tiu' little Iron; they h|ivp bul little of that inventive capacity which characterizes our people. We lack many of their admirable qualiiies and tht> lack 8oni.> of ours. They have not the tendency toward in- viniion and manufacture iha. we have and there the enormous purchasing power of their jif^riculture and mineral wealth lies at our hand to supplement the yciiiu.s ol OUl people in con.-tructive and productive enterprise.
Everytliing which icnds to promote the friendship ot the people of the I'nited States with thi peoi>le of Latin America, everything whicn tends to bind them together by i'. *• 01 trade, of interest and of personal relation, makes so much lor the conliuunnce and perpetuity of the great and essejitial policies ol our government to which we have been committed for moro than three-quarters of a century. .
It is no secret that foreign steamship lines, which are now our sole de¬ pendence I'o'the carrying of mails and commerce between this country and the-great ports of South America, are combined in an, agreement to raise prlcer.. As the result of the formation of that combination every breakfast table iu tho United States is taxed. We bougjit laat year more than $70,ooo, 000 worth ol coftee from ilrazll. Exery cup of coffee that was mude at any breakfast table out of that c7J,000,000 worth paid toll to this trust formed in Europe to put up the price of transporting to the I'nited Siatew the cotlee of Brazil U'
Would thiK be the case if there were an adequate American Merchant Marine?
Then, too, the "open door" ia the Orient is rapidly becoming ot less and less importaace to us. American shipping on the Paciflc Is being dilven off the soa by the subsidized Hues of Japan and it will »ooa be the case that America will end at low-waier mark on tbo shores of i;ullfo;nia and Oregon and Japan w 111 begin at tho three-mile limit from theae shores. 1 should be felad to ..see Romeihing done by the Ameiiean government to prevent ihut most undesirable result- "N.

Lawrence Oresser, who was re¬ moved from the otflce ot President of Queens Borough ou charges ot Incom- petancy and neglect ot duty Is said to be anxious to be vindicated by being Bent to congress by the Democratic party. If he should succeed he will uot feel at all lilicomfortable in Con¬ gress for neglect of duty and incom¬ petency are quite common there.
Our flne trees are a source of great beauty and comfort, and the village is to be congratulated that tho early realdenta allowed so many of our ao- ble foreat treea to renain in tbeir beauty and dignity. Nothing can quite take the place of a fine oak, a majestic elm or a graceful beech or wlUow.
But Uke all living thinga they need cara and attention. And this la a*- peclally true ot trees that are not •trlctly, Indigeoua to the soli,, even

I THE "Tm-TRi" WAR
- Clouds sometimes gather with treacherous speed. Aad rain thundera down much mora iMfe we need, For we harveit war. It we sow war ae^dy But be it so, man baa to learn this lore, Cootlog events cast ^elr sbadows before. And we bave wbat ia called, a "Trl-Trt" urar. Predicting triala and trlbulatiotia for tbe Triple Alliaaee, and foreshad- tliougb they may haTe been growing In jowjns, w.tn equal focce, triumphs tor the tri colored flag, backed by the Triple beauty for many yeara. JE&tfintc. '=> ^ Eugentus.
WAR IS STILL WAR
Among men wbo know aomettiing ot military life, there has been much speeulation as to ^hat extent the flghting-of today would differ from that of the time of our own Civil War.
Wherever morality was ^rcat 'he proportion of dead and wouiidtd rela¬ tively high, then experien<pd aoldiers felt.certain that the lost armies had been engaged in close, h'lnd in hand flghting, and that the d^'adly bayon¬ et had done its .'ihare of th'-' woiis.
An aped veteran reiiiark.-d, "U'lieii the armies are flve mllea atiar* and use guns that carry deadly bullets that distance, there won't be niauy killed. It's the close fighting that pile-.; up the slain." But to reart accounts 01 the terrible destructive engines of war now omploied, 't would schih iiiat no soldier i-'jgaged on either tide could get ()e»sr enough to each oilier to fe ¦.iOit to the ancient weapons of buyou ut and clubbed gun.
liut whoii man hecoaiei. a tighting animal, the primal instincts reign. In • ho Cr . Severe bdltles of the present war, there comes news cf the battle charge and the free u.s;^ cf tli* ha.v- onel. Both French and German sold¬ iers made free us, of iii's deadly weapon.
So it seenu' that maniicls ct arms may change weapons. :.iay be of a totally different charactyi-. but the flghting inst'uct change-, not.. And that even and always in lu mix it at close quarters, get »i the enemy and dispose of him, and do it quickly and effectually.
