that we have more momentous prob

Senators are as much opposed to the
policy Of expansion, as announced by

vinced that the more our practical
business men ponder the subject, the

belief that we do not desire nor do
we need the Spanish colonies Of the
Pacific or the West Indies.

tly it is become more than a suspic-

1t strikes the average man who has
no prejudice in the matter that the
protection editors whose papers are
emong the 157 dailies which comprise
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association were very illogical when
they signed an agrument, to be pre-
sented to the Anglo American Joint
High Commission, asking that news
paper, which now has a duty of Sc
ton, and that mechanically ground
wood pulp, which now has duty Of
81 81 ton, be admitted from Canada
free of duty. The agrument goes on
to say that the duty on paper and
wood pup acts solely for the benefit
of the paper trust, which is unques
tionably true, just as the duty on
many o. her things &C for the benefit
of other trusts, the most of which
could not possibly exist under free
trade. For a protection paper to ask
for free tradr for the PAPER 1t buys
and a high tariff on things which
others buy is equivalent to a man
saying, tread on eyerj body else as
much as you please, as long as my
toes are spared " These gentlemen
should bear in mind that the averagt
man can see thru their selfishness,
and that if free trade in paper and
pulp is a good thing, it must be equal
ly good in everything else. 1t has
been the fayor1pg of particular inter
ests that has disgusted SO many with
every protective tariff we have had.
The theory that every man should be
allowed to buy where he can buy the
cheapest is thoroughly good, but it
isn't carried out by allowing one man
that privilege and denying it to an
other. Equality berore the law-the
only real equality possible in any
country-is the cornerstone of free
government. Every man that lessons
it woakens government.

The new law relating to damage suits

account of personal injuries. On Jan. 5

was sent into the cellar of a building being
erected on South Meridian street to do some

necessary for the plaintiff in a damage suit
to allege or prove the want of contributory
negligence. The bill was introduced by Sen
ator Hugg. 1t declared an emergency and
went into effect Immediately after it was
passed and had been signed by the Gov
