take a leaf from the book OF south

common there for country folk to have
a sort Of outdoor fresh air closet, a
small detached structure set In the
shadiest place possible, standing upon
four tall legs. with fiat shingle roof
of barely enough pitch to shed rain.
The floor is at least four feet from the
ground, and the whole structure only
big enough to reach well across. There
are shelves all around, and the
weather boarding up next the roof il
full of tiny auger holes. Tho door fits
tight, and fastens with a lock. Around
each of the four legs is commonly a
tar bandage. applied six inches above
the ground.

Mr.. Charles M. Schwab. president Of
the United States Steel company, ad-
mits that the American steel manu-
facturers sell their products to for
eigners at lower price than they do
to their own countrymen. He admits
and he defends the practice. His rea-
soning is that to produce goods at the
minimum cost plants must be run to
their full capacity; that when the pro-
ductivity Of plants run In this fashion
exceeds the demands Of the country
surplus stocks pile up which must be
disposed Of abroad IL disposed of at all,
and that 1t is for the interest Of the
manufacturers. their employees and the
country generally that these surpluses
should be got rid of abroad. even II
they are sold at price much below
that asked of home consumers, as 9TH
erwise mills will have to be closed or
run on half time and workmen thrown
out of work. Mr.. Schwab contends
that to obtain foreign markets and
sometimes to keep them when obtained
it is necessary to reduce prices below
the home standards.

Popularity of 0ardoor Life.

1t is an encouraging sign for the
health OF the modern American that
the popularity OF outdoor life in this
country seems to be increasing. The
number and variety Of sports and pas
times which allure to open-air exertion
has grown greatly. Not very many
years have elapsed since the time
when tennis ard football were unus-
ual and golf and the bicycle were al
most unknown. Yet the influence OF
these and other sports has been 10
strong in recent years that open-alr
life has come to be enjoyed for its
own sake and apart from the amuse-
ment associated with It.

The acquittal of Prof. Charles r.
Eastman of Harvard University of the
charge of numbering his brother-in-
law, closes one Of the most remarkable
murder trials In the history Of juris-
prudence. The circumstances Of the
shooting. the high standing Of the de-
fendant in the educational and social
world and the strange ante-mortem
allegations Of the brother-in-law as he
lay mortally wounded by bullet fred
during a Fourth Of July target prac-
tice-all served to invest the trial with
intense dramatic interest.
The verdict Of acquittal in this case
il somewhat remarkable considering
the weight Of purely circumstantial
evidence with the average American
jury when adroitly and powerfully
eral Knowlton's eloquence and ability.
But fortunately for American juris-
prudence and justice the jury consid-
cred and weighed the testimony Of
witnesses and not the fervent oratory
of Mr.. Knowlton. To have convicted
Eastman under such circumstantial
evidence would have been q blot upon
the Jurisprudence Of the old Bay
State. In such case as this the ends
Of Justice and Of humanity are best
served by giving the defendant the
benefit Of the doubt which any i'm
partial student Of the case must con-
cede was present in every detail Of the
trial and which the state could not re-
move.
II the accused in this case could have
been hanged for murder the life of no
person would be safe. no matter how
remote might be his connection with
fatality. The bullet that killed
Richard Grogan was no doubt hred
from Eastman's revolver, but there
was not sufficient evidence adduced tO
refute the claim that the killing was
accidental.
