FAvORlTE B0GEYs

Mr.. Burleson of Texas is type of an
it religious duty to hate the British
government and all the British people,
and to proclaim, with tragical air, If
our government fulflls it's international
duty toward Great Britain as it performs
that duty toward other nations, that it is
grovelling and kowtowing and degrading
itself before John Bull.
The charge that our government is
"pro British" Is with them the most dam
natory epithet which can be applied to
the administration. Our ambassadors to
England in the performance of the most
ordinary social duties of their high posi-
ton are mercilessly assaulted as trait
ors" to their native land. The scholarly
and patriotic Lowell was denounced as
a lickspittle and fawning sycophant. The
commissioners to be sent by our govern
ment to witness the coronation of King
Edward VII, in the performance of a
customary international courtesy are set
contempt Of the nation. The proper and
strict observance sofsour duties as neutrals
during the Anglo Boer war is condemned
fercely as wicked and inhuman Mr.
Burleson went all to pieces In the house
in his violent emotion while assailing the
administration for observing the neu-.
trality laws and directing Americans SYM
pathizing with the Beers to the proper
and lawful channels Of sending clothing
and medicine to the Boer women and
children. such as the Red Cross society.
Under international law, recognized by all
civilized nations, the proposition of MI.
Burleson has no standing. In our civil
war it had no standing.
According to Mr.. Burleson, our state
department is $50 saturated with pro-
British spirit that 1t can no longer re-
spond to the common dictates of hu-
manity.'' The stat esmen who adhere TO
this view fercely demand that our gov
ernment shall il:laned iately take steps to
prevent Americans from selling horses
and mules to English buyers for use in
South Africa There is not the slightest
violation Of neutrality laws in such ac-
ton. a citizen or citizens Of a neutral
state may sell horses, mules and rner-
chandfse, including provisions, to bell
| ligerent, and even sell a vessel, com
lpletely armed and fitted to act as a man
of-war. as soon as It receives Its crew.

Two Not Equal to One.

To the Nonparel Man:
l have recently read in this column the
algebraic proof that equals /. This proof
is well known, and has appeared in print
many times during the last 100 years; but,
for many times a hundred years it has also
been known that, If zero occurs factor
in any term, the whole term reduces to zero.
This being so. it Is not proper to cancel only
the factor Ky on each side Of the fifth equa-
ton, unless it is remembered that the remain
ing factor in each case reduces to zero. First
by subtraction, each member of the fourth
equation is made equal to zero; and when
these members are factored in the fifth equa-
ton, an Identical factor that Is equal to zero,
appears in each. Now the remaining factor
in each case is equal to zero, SO that we have
90, every expression on each side having
vanished. The solvers error consisted in as
Stunning that times quantity is equal to
once that quantity, or that quantity multi
piled in unity. The false assumption was
made when KY was Cancelled out of each
member, and the remaining factor on each
side was neither stricken out nor put equal
to zero sE -5.. ..-4 X. Y. q.

A '"rrust'' Adviser for Federal Con-
troll.
New York Press.


The arguments for national incorporation
of int erstate combinations advanced by James
B. Dill in his Harvard lecture are none Of
them new. But coming from the most promi
nent of the trust lawyers in the country
they receive an authority which was wanting,
perhaps, even in the message OF the president
on the same subject and to the same purpose.
The lecture is important principally as piece
OF advice from the organizing counsel of some
of the greatest corporations in the country to
accept, and indeed invite. the federal control
which some OF them have bene anxious to
avoid. 49,
This Is only one. though perhaps the most
striking, of signs of the times that legislation

ton Of trusts is not the difficult matter that
it has bene supposed to be. particularly by
congress itself If the trusts" come to the
door OF the capitol asking law which will reg

and conflicting state legislation. will con-

The Law Applies.
New York Times.


1t is. OF course, Improbable and tmperh-
nent to speculate as to what may be the out
come of the suit against the Northern Securi-
ties company undertaken by the department
OF Justice But we think that almost any lay
man, reading the argument of the government
and comparing it with the antitrust law, must
receive the impression that the case as seateo
comes within that law.
We have ourselves no doubt that the law,
az it reads to the ordinary mind and as 1t was
intended by Its authors and supporters IN con-
xress to read, does forbid processes OF COM
bination and organization which are neces-
sary to the progress of the transportation
interests and Of many others. We are per-
suaded that the law cannot stand in its com
mon interpretation and that the needs OF the
whole country will sooner or later demand It's
repeal. We think that 1t would be much pet
ter that it should be so repealed than that us
force should be nulhfied by judicial interpre-
tation or its intended purpose in any way
Syaded.

FUN WITH KIPLING

A cont ributor to the Bookman takes a
philosophical view Of Kipling's poetlcal
effusions on political and technical sub
iects. whether the result be the ISLAND
ers' or "McAndrew's Hymn" He con-
cludes that they are merely vacatlon-tlme
productions, not worthy to be ranked as
literature and not to be classed Win
Kipling's real work. If Kipling had any
respect for the critics he would eliminate
these periods of simple production ana
would, like our steady-going American
authors, be hard at work, when not In the
public view, producing another book that
the public will like. But Kipling is Kip

prompt him to sit down and strive to

Inmates who wander in ignorance. 81.
The Bookman calls attention to some
good parodies and replies that have been
called out by "The Islanders.' The West

sports In 1.-THE Islanders" could we'll be
rounded out by the addition Of the fol-
lowing lines:

A Mctullagh Man MAY Not Arrest Before
Voting 4 Man Lawfully Registered.

In three separate opinions handed down
yesterday, the justices of the Appellate
Division concurred in reversing the con-
viction and ordered a new trial for Max
Hochstim, who was accused of a felony in
having interfered with W. A. Chapman, a
McCullagh deputy, in the performance of
his duties as an election officer on Nov. I,

Chapman arrested James Bassett on a
charge of illegal registration. and a dispute
followed a. to whether he should be allowed
to vote. Chapman was pushed into corner.
Bassett voted and escaped, and the deputy
arrested Hochstim a. the leader of those
who had interfered with him.
The Appellate justices say that Chapman
in attempting to arrest without a warrant
a man against whom there was no proof that
he had committed a felony, and who was
simply insisting on his right TO vote, was
going beyond authority and that Hochstim' :
interference, therefore, was not case OF

Bassett had registered.
