Weaver himself sucsrosts the arlvi? aMlttr of establishing a national reserve of lOO.OM mm, presumably as a substi tute for the militia and to constitute the first lino of reserve for the rejmlar army. Increased expense, either for the pr<> noli. of the efficiency of the militia or for the maintenance of such a reserve as the chief of militia proposes, is oor tain Io encounter serious opposition. The KCisdng appropriations for the army, usin^ the term in its comprehen sive sonso, already excite criticism and rges of militarism: It i?. therefore, of tho utmost important that the ques tion of promoting: the efficiency of th militia as now organised should receive serious consideration, and that hostility to that force on the pan •■;" labor organ izations should not be accepted as an in surmountable obstacle to its ineroasod usofulness without the most thorough in ; vesti^r.rion 1//.'. STDOSALJyB LOGIC. It is impossible to follow the logic of Mr. John B. McDonald's letter to the Chamber ■■■: Commerce in regard to the tribbrbugh subway. He opposes that project because of "its great cost" and because vf the "indefinite provision for equipment and operation." Then be pro ■ . — in place of ■■. after the lntorl»or ou:rh subway has been extended up the East Side and down the West Side by the city, Th.- construction of a subway uuder Third avenue with six tracks, four express and two local. Could any subway be more costly than a six track subway under Third avenue? Such a road would be a considerable financial undertakinsr anywhere, bur es pecially under Third avenue, where an elevated railroad structure would have to be safeguarded and strenirthened throughout ail the work of excavation, Moreover, these six tracks of Mr. Mc- Donald would be further away from ihe Important points on Manhattan Island. which the people want to reach, than any oilier route that has been suggested.

Main, will undoubtedly lose a scat in the House of Representatives under the now apportionment! The present appor tionment was made with a view to pre renting Maine, Nebraska and Virginia from losing a seat in the Boose. With population of •a»4.44c Maine retained the fourth rote on a major fraction of a ratio amounting to about 110,000. If the ratio is increased from 134,000 to 215,000 three full ratios will absorb 645,000, leav ing a balance of less than i<m>.ihh>. or a minor fraction of a fourth ratio. New Hampshire will lose nothing, U it will still have almost two full ratios. The seat which Maine yields will go to Mas sachusetts, thus maintaining the New England delegation In Congress at its preseni strength. While Now England merely holds Its own. the Middle States will materially increase th'»ir political power. It looks .-is if \«>w York would gain lour or five seats in the House. New Jersey two and Pennsylvania two or three. Those throe states, more than any other jrroup hi ill.- Union, liavo steadily augmented their political strength. New England was nearly their equal In power fifty yoars ago. After the next apportion ment they will have more than twice as many rotes in the Electoral College a« Now England, in spite of the hitter's artificial advantage of si.v more seats in tho United States Senate. THE rIV \U 1 CAY 171. Two entirely distinct but simultaneous rojK>ris regarding progress on the Panama Canal which have just been made public should be highly gratifying Ito all Americans. President lift has i'been unofficially assured that the canal I will be completed in three years, at a ! cost not exceeding the $37Ti,000.000 ; which was Colonel Goethals's first definite estimate of the sum required to complete the work. The President has found conditions on tho isthmus entirely satisfactory. The best possible spirit prevails throughout the otitiro construc tion force, the sanitary work leaves nothing to be desired and Hie engineer ing problems have been so met and I solved as to leave no reason for anxiety regarding the successful outcome of the ! undertaking. The dispatches from the I Canal Zone must set at rest the silly I tales which were circulated at the time the announcement of the President's tour of inspection was made The committee of experts of the I American Institute of Mining Engineer--, I just returned from an inspection of the ■ canal, reports its findings in glowing terms. With regard to the lock type, the j re; ion says In part : "We are satisfied that the sea level canal as proposed, if actually completed, would be inferior to the present lock canal by reason of its liability to many disturbances from which the lock is comparatively free. . . . The creation of the preat Gatun lake by means of the Gatun dam seems to us the best possible way of dealing with the floods of the Chagres and other streams. The location of the Gatun dam. spillway and leeks is singularly favorable for such construction, and there is. in our judg ment, no reason for any anxiety as to their stability. Bach testimony from a committee of disinterested experts, a number of whom went to the isthmus persuaded that a eea level canal would have been far preferable and decidedly skeptical re garding the stability oi the present con struction, is indeed reassuring. The entire report of the experts constitutes a hi^-h testimonial to the ability and character of Chief Engineer <;oetiiai* and thuse associated with him ;md seems completely to demonstrate the advantage of Intrusting the work to the army en gineering corps. Tt ' s peculiarly irrati g to have the report disposed <tf that it would require an additional hundred millions, over and above Colonel Goethate's estimate, to finish the work. It is in accordance with the conservative character of that officer that while he assures the President unofficially of bis confidence thai the canal will be com .■ Decemoer 1. 1913, he advises rhat « year be allowed for training the operating for<-e and that be suggests no change m the date of the formal open ing, which uaa been Bxed <""r January 1. 1915. AGRICTLTI RAL REVOLUTION. The story of the lowa farmer who utilized one of the most powerful types of automobile not only as a moans of conveyance but as motive power to frrind feed, chop silage, run a grindstone and conduct other farming operations has been told in The Tribune. Mr. Forrest Crissey has disclosed in "The Saturday Evening Poet" the extent of the revolu tion •»»-iri£? worked in farming by the use of cat- engines — tractors," as they are termed. Mr. Crissey cites the case of a farmer who bought two pa^ engines and two engine ploughs, each capable of turning six furrows simultaneously, ran his out tit nieht and day. ploughing by acety line light at niprht, and in sixty da a had broken and harrowed two thousand acres. After several hundred acres had been ploughed he rigged a tractor with a RanK of rollers, followed by a prang of drills, seeding from forty to fifty acres a day. At harvest time each tractor was used to pull five eight-foot harvesters, cutting a swath of forty feet. Eiarvesting wheat, the two tractors hauled six eight-foot binders each, so that two swaths each cleared ninety-six feet of land. In preparing the land six four-horse disk harrows were arranged to overlap, bo that the land was sub jected to a double disking, and in a second seeding five twelve-foot drills were hauled abreast, so that an area sixty feet wide was seeded simulta neously. one farmer devised a portable granary, which one tractor hauled through the fields alontr with the separator, or thrasher, thus freeing the other tractor to haul the grain to market. The thrashing was done in the field, of course, while the other tractor was con tinuously employed in drawing a train of loaded wagons to the railway station. The manager of a large R<-d Valley farm is Quoted as saying that with three tractors, two of 30 horsepower and one of 25 horsepower, tv broke, prepared and sowed to flax fifteen hundred acres of prairie sod. He says: "The two large "tractors were set t<> breaking, each "pulling eight sizteeh-inch ploughs, and "the other drew four large rollers next "to the engine and three twelve-foot '•drills." Ii i.x dgurrd b tbew 'engine farmers" thai oairh tractor doea th» \-'.rk oi a| least tan horses, and the aavlng m man can fiaairj be calculated.

It to wisdom to dis pose of these little things while the Presidunt is a few thousand miles «way. According to London scientists the landslide has even affected the bottom of the Paciiic. The contrast between the panic which a few years ago was caused by the an nouncement of a case of cholera at tins port and the lack of apprehension with which such news is now received IS one of the most Impressive of tributes to the achievements of medical and sanitap' science. It is., moreover, a well deserved tribute, and the change of popular atti tude Is entirely justifiable. ■ I t'.rita 1 !! evidently does not pur pose '■•> ".;ik.> a header" Into politica] revolution if it <-;.n help ?!. Tii-- Republican party will recover from the recent defeat, but would it e\^r recover from being reformed by Colonel "Abe" Gruber, assisted by the Bon. WTlliam S. Bennet? The decision not to have a world's fair in this city in 1913 is commendable and ■win mcct 1 with hearty public approval New York needs no such adventitious aid to its prosperity and popularity. But if ever it does pret up such a thine: for the sake of the rest of the world, it wants to have it on an occasion of ade quate dignity and importance, and also to have ample time for preparation, so as to make it worthy of the second city of the world.

Conditions in the Panama Canal Zone seem to furnish ample warrant for the Taft smile. If Mr. Gifford Pincbot really believes the tariff is too high, why did he do more than any other man to checkmate Presi dent Taft's efforts to nave lumber put on the free list? THE TALK OF THE DAY. "No people, with the possible exception of the 'simple peasants' of Oberammergau, have a higher appreciation of the tourist— and his money— than the p»»opl»» of .Italy. The latest instance of this characteristic Is the "restoration' of the tomb of Juliet at Vienna." writes an American from Rome. •"For many years iruide.s have shown to visitors an old sarcophagus in the court of a ruined cloister on the right bank of the river as the last resting place of Giulietta Capuletti. and no visitor considered his sightseeing complete unless he had pone there and brought away pictures of the spot. The Florentines always had their little laugfa because they knew that the sarcophagus was a century older than the hapless Juliet and that before a wif?e citizen thought of placing Capulet's daugh ter there it was a trough from which horses drank water of QuestionaJ quality. Now, since Sir Kennel Rodd, Marshal Di San Giuliana, the writer Cappa and others assisted in dedicating the 'restoration' work of Kenato Cattani there will no longer be any doubt as to the 'genuine ness' of Juliet's tomb."

This will not help New Yorkers at all, as the law stipulates that non-residents and unnaturalized foreign born <-itizen.- may not shoot any deer at all. The law also provides that rifles and dogs are not to be used, and prohibits entrance on posted land and shooting on state reservations. It also forbids the sale of deer killed in that state and the use of trap, bait, saltlick or other device for enticing, taking, killing or in luring a deer. Notice of shooting, killing or wounding must be sent to the Game Commission .-it the Stati House within twenty-four hours, and the penalty for vio lation of any provision of the law is a $100 One.

Martin, of the Post- Graduate Hospital. Chicago, admitting that corsets are a necessary evil nowadays, holds •hat they ought to be fitted on all women by physicians. "A corset is a si.lint." said Dr. Martin, in a recent lect ure. "You would not advise a patient to go to an instrument shop and pick out his own splint for a deformed limb. As the corset is a splint, if the figure It is placed on is the proper shape to begin with, the corset should not change the outline, but sustain it. The harmful corset is the one that disproportionately narrows the waist and fails to support the body. Such a cor set will occasion serious digestive symp i toms, and, if persisted in, will produce ap pendicitis, serious diseases of the stomach and linally setni-invalidism."

NOT DUE TO ELECTION Impending Drop in Meat Prices the Result of Market Conditions. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: A little paragraph in this morn- Ing's Tribune intimates the possibility of the Democrats claiming an impending drop in the price of m*>frt as th" result of the election. There Is more than a joke in this, if a cartoon in a Philadelphia paper is lak«»n seriously. It represents two birds labelled High Pries" being brought to the ground by shots from a gnu marked "Election" in the hands of a voter. Stu dents of -economic conditions, however. know thai prices of meats are due f«r a drop, even in the face of the present hieh price of bacon in Chicago, which sends out a wail that retailers there are charging "•• cents a pound for that necessary accom paniment to a fried cci; ■\ comparison of tieiif's published ha your own market reports for the ia st month may throw some litrht on the ques tion aa to why retail prices of meats should com« down. The Bgures gtveaa are for "good to choice native st"«>rs" on the hoof, and read us follows: 1910 tf*O». xor. ir. $r.

Of course the difference is not much, but the fact that there is that difference and that retail prices so far have shown no sipns of dropping, in addi tion to the fact that foreign crops are large enough to shut out in a measure American exports, making necessary the feeding of a large amount of grain to cattle, all point to a considerable drop in wholesale prices before long. When this drop comes it will be up to the consumer to •--- after the retailer, who will be full of excuses for keeping his prices up, to the betterment of his bank account. New York. Nov. In, 1910. A. H. B. ROOSEVELT AND SOCRATES. To the Editor of The Tribune. • Sir: Plato in the Apology gives the words of Socrates: "I am a sort of gadfly given to the state by God, and the state is like a. great and noble steed who Is tardy in his motions owing to his very size, and re quires to be stirred into life." Because the greatest of the Greeks at tempted this work. Athens forced Socrates to drink the hemlock. The words of the Grecian s.tsr* apply to Roosevelt. The United Btates, especially the Republican party, because of its very «:ze. required to be purred into HtV. Roose velt ha.- acted the part of the gadfly. Some have tried to fore him to drink the hemlock. But he is not :>> T d^ad, nor I, ... aboui to die. He will live when his detractors are forgotten: he will liv when the only note of many m^n will be that -hey vainly tri^c to destroy him. THE REV. JAMBS OTIS L'ENNISTON. New York Nov. ft 1910. ARGUMENT FOR A PARCELS POST. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: It Is with great pleasure that I note the letters in our dailies urging a parcels post. Here la an illustration snowing the urgent need for this money saver: Recently I was at a grocer's store in upper Lenox avenue. Seeing a barrel of nice red eatinp apples I asked the price for a peck of them. As the clerk seemed not to understand th« meaning of "peck." I told him it was eight quarts— one-fourth of a bushel. I was referred to the "boss," who said: "A dollar and a quarter for a peck." I replied: "That is about $T> a bushel, or $15 a barrel." A similar attempt to buy hair a bushel elsewhere was met with the reply, "I no sell that way— cents a quart." It seems to be absolutely fan] pples at less than quart prices. Why? Because the - ible the money by the quart! in Chicago H was possible to buy in quantities ai a fair price while living -imp years ago I am irlad to sc»» that the business men of tl.e country ac well as private individuals are waking up and demanding tha parcels Agitate— agitate, everybody. If the press keep! at tt we will p-n it at the : • ■• session of ( ongress. Then the nearby growers of fruit need not let it rot under the trees because of the hljrh prices nov. demanded for trans portation to market. As it now is. fruit, especially the apple, is getting too rich for the blood of the ordinary mortal. Push it alon=r. DELISLE. New York. Nov. 15, 1910. DISAGREES WITH MR. ROGERS. To the Editor of The Tribune Sir: In your issue of yesterday you pave the opinion of H. H. Kogers regarding the "Japanese bugaboo." T fail to see why the opinion of French and German army officers imparted to the United States through a captain of ■ com pany ii. the 22d Regiment should have any great amount of weight as compared with the opinion of the Japanese by such men as Vice-President Fairbanks, the Rev. Dr. F. K. ("lark, of the Christian Endeavor So ciety, and other prominent Americans who have travelled in Japan, who have met the best men there, end who bam talked not only with natives but with Americans who have lived there many years. I had the pleasure last January of being in Japan with ■ iav>;e party of wide-awake Americans, muny of whom had been anti- Japanese prior to this visit. All of our Dumber, I think, were unanimous after our visit that any sensational remarks in re gard to the hatred of Japan for our coun try are absolutely needless and not found ed on fact. There Is, of course, a racial difference between the two nations; there is, of course", some disappointment that Japan did not secure from Russia quite what it expected from the. Portsmouth treat--, and there are, no doubt, other an noying and petty matters. But, ob th» other hand, that nation fully realise* the friendly Bid of this country since 1853, recognizes the great obligation which it is under to our country, and 1 fully believe that such an idea as a war between Japan and the United States under present conditions | 8 simply a foolish dream. • No doubt some French and Ger mans would like to see our country hu miliated, and the desire la father to the thought It Menu to me that every one who has a friendly feeling -1- the Japanese should repudiate .such unea!l,-U-for and undignified remarks as «t . occasionally hear, and par ticularly from those who have not been in that country and whoso Information cornea from tho*.. who .re prejudiced againsu Japan, or who would be «li(.l (" • -•«' """ own nation in trouble »•; C.
