The British like to build their own ships as
matter of price and tradition. but they know
when and in what particulars their best work is
surpassed. and are not above learning from their
enemy" or giving him contracts against
their own yards and builders. if anything is to
be gained by it. The Cramps have asked the
British Admiralty for specifications. that they
may bid for the construction OF the new British
ships Of war. and may get the job in which
case 1t Is safe to say that England will get the
finest ships that have ever flown her flag.

Not Much Alarmed.

The iron trade does not seem IN any
immediate danger Of going to ruin
on account of the proposed tariff
changes. Such a disregard of their
pessimistic prophecies must be very
annoying to those ex-Democratic edi-
tors and statesmen who have sold out
their Democracy for mess of protec-
ZIONIST praise but facts are facts, and
business is business, and the prospect
of good trade ahead does not with
hold producer of iron from embarass-
ing the argument of his attorneys.
The iron trade has been at q low
ebb for months. At first there was
none to dispute the assertion that this
depression was due to the general un-
essiness brought about by the state of
the currency, In the universal desire
to see the currency put upon sound
basis and the cause of panic removed,
it did not at first occur to the protec-
tionists that the situation might fur
nish them the pretext for warning
against tariff changes. When that
idea did occur to them they worked it
industriously, and the condition OF the
iron industry, that darling of protec.
ton, was pointed out as special il
lustration of the evils of tariff legisla-
ton.

ReInstated.

Mr.. Ralph Davis has been restored
to his place as practicing attorney OF
the bar of Memphis by Judge Estes.
This action does not imply that the
Judge had erred in disbarring Mr..
Davis for unprofessional conduct, but
it was taken out of considerate re-
gard for a young attorney who had
been severely punished and who has
given assurances of a wiser circum.
spectness in the future. 1t is to be
hoped that the Davis incident will
have good effect upon many in the
legal profession who have been care
less OF the professional honor. The
calling of the law is a noble one, but
its privileges and function are often
abused, not only by the shysters who
manage tc creep into the ranks, but by
many who claim to be real lawyers.
The fine ethics of the noble legal pro.
fession are too often allowed to drop
into deplorable desuetude, and the
misfortune of it is those members OF
the profession who honor it by a scru.
pulous regard for its highest integrity

that these far seeing men OF business,
whatever they may say about the tariff,

there is going to be a good demand
