1t is reported that DR.. Philippe
MarechaI, French scientist, desires
the enactment of law prohibiting
the wearing of corsets by women under
30 years of age. There may be good
deal of strategy about the Doctors
desire The passage of such a law
would leave every woman wearing
corsets open to the assumption that she
had passed thirty. Besides, women
who have attained the ripe old age of
30, and are willing to admit it, may be
relied upon as having sense enough not
to wear corsets If any lady over 30
wishes to dispute that proposition, the
columns of the Herald are open to her.

THE CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP.

The announcement by the Maury
Democrat Of this week that Judge ID.
A. McDougal. of Hardin county. is g
candidate for Circuit Judge of this
circuit, in opposition to Judge Hold
ing. is wrong. Hardin county, the
home of Judge McDouPal. is not in
this Judicial Circuit. which is the
Eleventh; and Judge Holding is not a
candidate in Judge McDougal' Circuit,
which is the Twelfth.
This, the Eleventh Circuit, is COM
posed of the counties of Maury, Giles
Lawrence Wayne, Lewis. Perry and
Hickman. Judge Holding has no
opposition for the Democratic nomina
ton; and we doubt if there is anyone
who will care to lead the forlorn hope
of running against him after he receives
the nomination. 1t seems to be the
ties, and in Democratic and Republi
can circles alike, that he will succeed
himself. And he certainly deserves to.
Judge McDougal's home is in the
Twelfth Circuit, which is composed of
the counties of Hardenlan, McNairy
Hardin, Chester, Henderson, Decatur
and Madison. He is fine lawyer, an
honorable gentleman, sound, straight
Democrat, and will honor the position
if his people call him to the Bench.
Col. Hughes is slayer, and comes
back at his accusers pretty strong, cit
ing the fact that his citizenship of
Maury county was not questioned in
1895 when he was the Republican nom
inee for Congress; nor again in 1900,
when he was Chairman of the Repub-
lican Committee of this county, and in
that capacity appointed some of those
to Office who ON this occasion were
indignating against him. But the
Colonel essays to make further answer

The fines imposed by Judge Erwin

In speech delivered in Minneapolis,
Vice President Roosevelt said: 1--WE
shall find il necessary in the future TO
shackle cunning. as in the past we
have shackled force. The vast
individual and corporate fortunes. the
vast combinations of capital which
have marked the development of our
industrial system, create new condi-
tions and necessitate change from the
old attitude of state and nation toward
property. But since Mr.. Roosevelt
became president of the United States.
he has done nothing TO ''shackle cum
ming as in the past we have shackled
force. - He has chosen. as an exchange
reminds us. for his attorney general,
upon whose activity and zeal depend
the enforcement of the antitrust laws
a man who was attorney for one of the
largest trusts. In his message to Con-
gless, Mr.. Roosevelt advocated the
control rather than the abolition"
of trusts; and in selecting men to
represent this government at the
coronation ceremonies of the king of
England, Mr.. Roosevelt chose the sou i
of j. Pierpont Morgan as one of the
secretaries. In short, the shackler
seems to have been shackled the lion
tanner has been tanned. His talk |
before he was President and his actions
since are at such great variance that
the country cannot escape the conclusion
that Teddy the terrible has wilted.

PERFECTION IMPOSSIBLE -
PROGRESS ALWAYS
POSSIBLE.

The municipal program outlined by
W. o. Smith in his paper read before
the Young Mems Research Club is one
OF delay. The assembly to which Mr..
Smith spoke was by no means political,
the intent being to discuss the prob
lem on its merits. Mr.. Smith considers
and rightly too, that the municipal
problem is a serious one. Every new
departure is serious. 1t is fraught
with possibilities for good or evil,
Every depression from old lines means
hard work and worry.
The Bulletin believes, however, that
the majority Of the property holders OF
voters of Hawaii have yet to regard
the program of local self government
as such a stupendous task that 1t Ii
beyond the possibility of practical ap'
plication in the immediate future. Mr.
Smith will doubtless agree that thC
present system Of government is no
satisfactory, but accepts 1t as the leas
OF what might be termed from his poin
as the smaller evil.
The principal barrier from Mr.
Smiths standpoint is the character o
the electorate, its lack Of intelligence
This is rather an indefinite term. 1t /
not presumed, it is meant that the ma
jority OF the electorate should becom
college graduates before the establish
ment OF municipal government is to b
seriously considered by legislatlv

honest electorate, and the Bulletin be
lieves that the Territory now has a.
electorate of this character. Not all tn
voters are schooled in the detail c
municipal duties, not a majority eve
have had practical experience in tn
government OF municipalities. Eve
w. o. Smith is in this last class. BIZ
