J. ]. Mccarthy, president Of the Iowa
Bar association, In a recent address AT
a meeting Of that body said: zone OF
long experience on the bench writes me
that In his opinion about one-half OF
all evidence received on behalf Of the
defense OF criminal cases is false. An
other judge Of equally high repute
writes that he belieyes,75 per cent. OF
the evidence offered in divorce cases
approaches deliberate perjury. An
other writes that perjury is committed
in a majority Of important lawsuits
and that crime Is rapidly increasing
No doubt there is much truth in
this. but IL It represents actual condi-
tlons throughout Iowa that state would
be a veritable sink hole Of corruption
The remarks regarding the evidence IN
divorce cases are probably truer than
the remarks about other cases. NO
doubt hundreds Of divorces are
secured through collision, active or
passive In criminal cases, juries, as
rule, can be relied upon to sift the
evidence and separate the truth from
falsehood. The poorest way In the
world to remedy a bad state OF ar
fairs is to take a pessmlstic view OF
them.

DEVELOPING CENTRAL AFRICA.

Lionel Decle. who has recently re-
turned TO England after a thorough
study Of Central Africa, predicts that
within a few years the former Dark
Continent will become an important
factor In the economic world. He says
there are great natural resources and
abundant cheap labor The former
statement is no doubt true. but the lat.
ter may be doubted, In fact, may be
denied with no fear Of successful con-
tradictlon
That Central Africa has abundant
natural resources all travellers through
It assert And most people are very
apt to be struck with a country's possl-
blllties and predict great things for IT,
forgetting that the best and most
abundant natural resources are OF
small account, II there IL lacking large
and energetic population to take ad-
vantage Of them. Central Africa has no
such population, and TO talk Of an
abundance Of cheap labor there IL 10
talk wildly There is an abundance OF
wild and savage men there who do
what they do very cheap, They are Ia
no sense laborers; the best Of them are
but pOrters, and even reliable porters
have to come from Zanzibar. II is true
that railroads are being pushed into the
Interior and that telegraph lines are
crossing IT, But the few white men who
are there are either in the military or
civil service. They are not there as
colonsts to develop the country's re-
sources by building factories, filling the
soil and pasturing the lands. They are
there to exploit the country; that is all,
The inhabitants Of Central Africa are
today as they were in the days Of He

trated the Dark Continent. Savage tribes
In the tropics do not develop into good
laborers, and good white aborers who
may go to the tropics degenerate; they
cannot help II. Nature, In the form OF
climate Is against them. It will be
against them IN Central Africa as it has
been elsewhere,
There are plenty Of possibilities in
Central Africa and It will eventually
be redeemed from barbarism, but It
Is more than doubtful II 1t will become
great factor In the economic world
All the material possibilities in the

The German governments new tarift
bill Is clearly a triumph for the
agrarian interests, which for several
years have been organized into a for
midable movement against low duties
In agricultural products, The struggle
now to ensue over the passage Of that
bill In the relchstag will be one OF the
most critical modern Germany has
known. II It becomes law IN all the
panoply Of lis protectionlst exclusive
ness and discrimination against foreign
trade. 1t will surely injure German In
dustry and commerce. The Industrial
classes OF the German towns need CHEAP
food, but high duties on agricultural
products will handicap them In the race
for international supremacy. The new
duties. also, may easily bring about
tariff wars with other countries, espe-
cially the United States.
