ASK THEFT MORE.

Candidates for office in Connecticut are being asked questions which we have no doubt they will be able to answer. If they can't they haven't the needed qualifications for candidates in these piping political times, This isn't the only State where candidates are be- ing questioned. 4 minister in Hampton CSouth Carolina) has asked the candi- dates in that State regarding their use Of liquor, tobacco, etc. In a letter re- porting the results the clergyman says that three candidates for governor, two for secretary of State. one for attor- ney-general. one for comptroller gen. eral, one for superintendent of educa- tion, and three for railroad commits sioner, have given satisfactory evidence that tbey neither use intoxicating liquors as beverage. nor indulge in profanity. nor engage in card playing, nor attend dances or balls.
 A good showing. When the candi- dates in this State get the other ques- tions answered, as they doubtless soon will, we hope they will be asked re- garding their use of liquor, tobacco, etc. We have no doubt that they would emerge from that test as unscathed as they will from the one already applied.

him by habeas corpus and had him put in jail to escape further persecution. The incident justifies a question whether the ''sweatbox" system is net liable to be carried to an extent that makes it an abuse. No person except the police and the victims of the system know just how it is practiced CT to what extent it Is carried, but there is reason to believe it is pushed far be- yond the verge of personal rights or legal authority. Suspects, and even criminals. have some rights which the law is bound to respect. There are other forms of torture besides physical and the law does not authorize one more than the other,[ The police in all American cities do many things of doubtful authority. and it is question: able if the "sweatbox' practice is not one of them. The constitution of the United States says "cruel and unusual punishment shall not be inflicted" and every state constitution contains similar provision. This, of course, means after convection, but all the more it should prevent such punisllments be- fore conviction. The ''sweatbox" prac- tice is cruel to the last degree, and in countless instances it has been used on persons who were innocenet of any crime. It is the duty of the police to bring criminals to punishment, but in the performance of the duty they should be held within legal bounds. The laws of all the states provide that mo per- son shall be compelled, in any criminal case, to be a witness against himself" :" Yet that is the sole object of the ''sweatbox' system, and confessions thus extorted by means of exquisite torture are sometimes introduced in court as voluntary" confessions. Where. in any case, does a policeman get the right to turn inquisitor and use methods and practices unknown to the law? The use of violence to bring about a confession of guilt or of guilty kuowl- edge is violation of the individuals constitutional right, and there may be moral violence as well as physical If it is not checked the 'sweatbox" prac- lice may become a dangerous abuse.- Indianapolis Journal.

TYRANNY ESISTED.

That is thrilling, yea, almost hair raising story which comes from Wash ington. It will thrill anybody who has not lost regard for the rights of woman or perception of the brutality of man. It appears that there is young woman whose work was feeding a press in the government printing office. She is pret- ty, of course, and she knows how to fix her hair so as to let her beauty be ap- parent. She fixed it that way the other day and went to her work. While she worked she was the observed of all ob- servers who were not too busy to look at her. Among those who observed her was the foreman of the press-room, and after he had looked awhile he told her that she must change the arrangement of her hair or leave. She appealed to the man who bosses the foreman, and he, being a man, said to her: 'I would not attempt for anything in the world to suggest to you how to wear your
 
 hair, which, I am sure, is most attrac- tive; but the complaint is that your hair interferes with the feeding of the presses and causes the spelling of many sheets of paper" Then the young wo- man came to the conclusion that she had had enough and left the govern ment to it's own printing devices.
 The government has been served just right. It was a mean old thing when it undertook to change the arrangement of young woman's hair. It should have changed it's. presses or anything else that interfered with that arrange ment, and we are glad that the young woman has taught it a needed lesson.

coon AAD NEEDED WORK.

The man who makes trees grow where none grew before is perhaps as great a public benefactor as the man who re- luctantly consents, at the urgent solici- tation of friends, to become candidate for fat office. It is, therefore, cheer ing to read that the new division of forestry in the Agricultural department is taking measures to greatly promote the extension of woodlands. Agents are now in the field instruoting individuals. corporations and state officials in the best method of planting woodlands and extending the forests. Others are en- gagged in the still more important tasks of studying the problem of natural re- production, the most effective means of establishing woodlands on barren ground and of protecting valuable prop erty from shifting sand dunes.
 It is especially cheering to read that field parties are now making investiga- tions in New England in order that in- structions may be given as to the best methods of securing white pine timber on abandoned farms and pastures by natural seeding. If success is achiev- ed in this effort, many of the abandoned farms of New England will be much more valuable than they are. Success to the work, which is good and needed one,

THE DEMAND FOR EXPERTS.

A thoughtful writer has reviewed in a current educational journal the newer callings into which men and women of culture and character have been push ing of late. When all the well known professions and avenues of work are so crowded that the competition for positions has become tremendous it is a relief to know that an expansion is constantly taking place, opening new forms of service to the skilled and com- petent.
 There exist certain fields, the writer declares, in which at the present time it is impossible to obtain enough trained persons for the positions offered. Fore most of these is the teaching of special branches In the higher educational in- stitutions, a demand which is con- stantly increasing and broadening. The new agriculture, forestry, the experi- ment stations. and laboratories have created a demand for a considerable number of specially trained teachers as agriculturists, horticulturists, pomolo- gists, entomologlsts, dairy experts, biologists, plant pathologists, bacteriol- ogists, etc. In every large city there is some demand, 1t is stated, for expert chemists, geologists, prospectors, mi croscopists, etc. The work along these lines is now mainly done by college pro- fessors, but few persons have already opened private offices with success. Chemists are needed in hundreds of manufacturing establishments, An in- R~II 4A.. fhNxa tt@fa is found in the coast and geological sur veys of the national government and in the offices of the great life insurance companies, where they serve ac actu- aries. It is pointed out that the United States weather bureau also em- ploys a considerable number of trained men. The demand for competent lec- turers in university extension, in teach CTS institutes and farmers institutes for popular instruction in science, lit- erature, history and economy has never yet been filled. The position of health officer in city and state is recognized post of responsibility, requiring great knowledge and power on the part of the incumbent. As librarians, statesmen
 journalists, diplomats in railroad work, in commerce, in religious and reform
 work, it is we'll known that the college bred men and women are fulfilling their prerogatives in posts of great useful ness and power.
 The summary is ignificant and seems to show conclusively that the expansion of professional occupation for the edu-
 cated is keeping pace in a cheerful
 measure with the increasing output of trained men and women.-Boston Tran script.

4 TRADITION AND SOME FA CTS.

Boston is always critically examining things, and it is therefore not surprising that the St. Swithin business has been critically examined there. It is also not surprising that the examination has resulted in showing that St. Swithin isn't what the people say he is. The people say that if it rains on St. Swith- in's day it will rain on each of the forty days following. The Boston critical testimony is that the tradition came nearer being true this year than for twenty years past. Out of the forty days this year 1t rained on twenty-two. This was nearly equalled in 1896, when it rained twenty-one out of the forty days. In 1889 and 1900 the record was nineteen days, in 1872 and 1891 eighteen, in 1886 seventeen, in 1892 fifteen, and so on. As to the amount of rain, 1872 was much the wettest at this particular sea- son, nearly twice as much rain falling as in any of the years since The next rainiest year was 1884, when St. Swith- in's day was fair and clear, with not drop of rain in Boston at least. There seems to be no relation between the amount of rain on St. Swithin's day and the amount of rainfall following. The best the Saint could do of late years was in 1886, when .99 inches of rain fell, yet it was only an average wet season for the next forty days. This years St. Swithin's day was rather wet. TO inches falling at Boston, yet since Au-

gust only 5.os inches have reached that city. The year 1884. when the Saints day was dry. had 1865 inches of rain during July and August
 It is well to have such facts so set forth. It rained enough during the last St. Swithin season. even if it didn't rain on all the forty days.

In an interesting trade report a for eign consul in eastern Roumania points out that the yield of altar of roses this year is from 20 to 25 per cent. less than in 1900. He makes out lamentable case for those who grow roses to supply the famous essence. Prices have fallen to an extraordinary degree in the for eign markets. Reports have reached here" he says, "that some of the so- called better brands have been offered abroad at about $1SO per kilo two and one-f1fth pounds) 8 price which would not cover the first cost of purchase on this side" The main cause for regret is that the rose fields belong to peasant proprietors, who are also distillers of the essence, and the ruin of the indus try means their undoing. It is suggest = ed that a strong influence is telling against this trade. The taste in per- fumes in recent years has undergone a revolution. The rose is itself more cul- tivated than ever, but the commercial purposes of the queen of flowers has fallen into the background.

Count won Tiele-Winckler. mine owner and prominent German financier, is coming to the United States in Sep- tenber to study the United States Steel corporation. The count will bring with him two or three experts and he asked the managers of the United States Steel corporation for an opportunity to really study it's organization and de- tails of administration at first hand. The count has been informed through the Deutsche bank, which made the in- quiry, that he would have every facility for so doing, and a tour has been sketched out for him and suggestions have been made as to how he could best accomplish his mission. Count won Tiele-Winckler, who is one of the richest men in Germany, is said to have undertaken the trip as an official com missioner of his government.
