The Weight of Facts.

The general average weekly wage in
Massachusetts, is higher than in Great
Britain by 1928 per cent. Massachusetts is
for business protection. Great Britain for
free trade. Such little facts as these will
outweigh an eternity Of free trade argument.

Yesterdays foreign appointments cause
surprise and command admiration through
out the world. All other considerations
being disrcgarded, the President selected
the men whom he thought best fitted for
the trusts confded to them. Seldom has
there been such an absolute disregard Of
political considerations. Rarely have such
important selections been made solely on
grounds Of personal fitness, and in consid-
Grafton Of the experience and attainmeuts
Of the nominees. Machine politicians Of
both parties would have declared it u po-
litical impossiblity that the President
should select Lis Minister to England from
state so hopelessly of the opposite party.

inexplicablc from any other standpoint
they appear to be admirable

JUSTICE MATTHEWS ofthe Supreme Court
yesterday delivered the decision of that
tribunal in what are known as the five po-
lygamy cases. Tho decision will be partly
comfortable to the NIormons and to con-
siderable extent uncomfortable to them.
The Mormons have contended that the Ed
munds anti-polygamy bill is unconstitu-
tonal. The Court decides that there is no
doubt of the constitutionality of that law
But the Court also decides that tho Board
Of Commissioners appointed under the Ed
munds act to supervise elections in Utah
have not the authority to prescribe test.
oath requiring an applicant at the rcsistra-
tion of voters to swear, If a man, that ho is
not a polygamist, or, IL a woman, that she is
not the wife ofa polygamist. 1t is more
than ever evident that additional anti.po-
lygamy legislation is necessary.
