"Hiawatha" was the favorite tune
in McKinley's inauguration, and "A
Hot Time in the Old Time" in Roose
velt's. It was reported that Score- '
tary Tumulty had notified the band
masters to play "I I.ovo You, Cali
fornia" in the recent inaugural parade.
Dr. Wu Ting Fang is reported to
have declared that he will live to the
ripe old age of 150 years. Those who
doubt that he will may do one of two
things. Hither they may come out
they may wait and have the laugh
on him about 75 years from now.
It has long been the custom on
British ships to have one or two days
in the week when on meat was prepar
ed it place being taken by pea soup and
duff. If the plans of Britain’s Board
of Trade are carried out and meatless
days on the isle sare proclaimed it
will only be extending a healthful
custom from shipboard to the land.
Partial abstinence from meat will do
nobody harm.
Uf late the federal government has
been obsessed by the desire to create
commissioners both to investigate,
regulate and perform. Railroad com
missions make it harder to build and
operate railroads and do little else.
There is on industrial commission to
stir up trouble between employers and
employes and to give job to politicians.
There are four commissiones to deal
with the tariff, a federal trade com
sion, a tariff commission a commis
sion of appraisers, and a customs court,
In Wisconsin they went so fur as to
create a commission to investigate
commissions which is carrying the idea
to its proper conclusion. Some simpler
plan would seem possible.
It huB been officially announced by
the czar's government that the Tur
kish capital and its environs are to
become Russian property. That my*
thlcal will of Peter the Great, who
laid the foundations of the Russian
empire, is to be fulfllllled. ponstantlno
ple, the ancient Byzantium which was
a world capital longer than Rome
was and which Napoleon called the
Key of the World, is to become
"Czargrad," the City of the Czar.
Russia Is to have her long-sought ice
freo port. Tlie great waterway be
ween the Black sea and the Mediter
ranean is to give her an outlet for
her agricultural wealth and an inlet
for the goods of all the world. She is

I elusion and blossom fourth as a Ku
I ropean power, sharing all western civ
, ilizatlon.
Constantinople utul tlie Dardanelles
I are now Russia’s. All she has to do
is to go and take them. That happens
to be somewhat of a task. The Brit
ish tried to win them lor her and
lost tragically. Grand Duke Nicholas’
acmpaigu to take them by the buck
door route of the Caucasus has come
to a standstill. Roumanian seemed for
a while to offer a solution, by pro
viding a short direct route of con
quest thrugh Bulgaria. But the Ger
mans have ended that dream, for the
present at least. ,
At this moment the Russian occu
pation of Constantinople looks about
as feasible as the British occupation
of Berlin. But the Russian Bear
never gives up. Beaten, he always
come back. Wounds do not exhaust
him. Weariness and hunger do not
break this spirit. The Slav soul Is In
finitely patient and enduring. When
lit by a clear purpose it is irresistable.
And the Russian purpose today is not
that of a royal house or a decadent
nobility, but of a people awake for the
first time and conscious of its power.
The Russian nation is now animat
ed by this age—old quest for Con
stantinople. And that fact Is the
most promising guarantee of its ful
filment.
RAISE MORE FOOD.
The government of France has fol
lowed the precedent set by the British
government and proposes to Enforce
the cultivation of all previously un
cultivated land in the republic. A bill
will be introduced in the national
assembly to that end. The need of
such a measure is hardly as pressing
in France as In England, as the
■amount of cultivable land which is not
used for the production of food crops
is much less In the republic than in the
kingdom.
in the British islands great areas
of fertile land have boon left uncul
tivated for years, sometimes for gen
erations. The area devoted to the
private parks of the great land oWh
1 ers collectively is of enormous extent
Much of it could he used for the rais
ing of food crops without trenching
upn the forost growth which give these
parks their greatest beauty. Whether
the land which of recent years has
been devoted to grazing will be re
i stored to tillage does not appear,
i It has been the claim for many
l years that England could if all avail

i I produce all of the food which Is neces
sary for the subsistence of its popu
lation, but it has never done so since
i free trade was adopted ns its cardinal
i policy. The prime efnture of the fret
trade system is that if things can be
produced more cheaply abroad than at
home, then the foreign product should
be purchased, while the home energies
are devoted to other pursuits.
A new light is being see in England.
Protection is now applied in every
possible way. No longer is the for
eign product given the preference. On
the contrary, every effort Is now be
ing lent to make the people of Gp$at
Britain industrially independent.—IVL
