Mr.. Cupid Seems Effective in
the Dark

Records Show That COlored

St. Louis, Mo, Jan. 9.-Since the con-
yention Of school teachers held recently
in this city, attention has been directed
especially to the instructors of the grow
ing colored population of st. Louis.
1t is considered interesting by people
who pay attention TO educational affairs
that there is a greater proportionate
number of marriages among the female
colored teachers than among the whites.
Dupring the school terms of 1902 and
the first term of 1923, there were eleven
designations of colored teachers which
We're accepted and one which had been
rendered and not acted upon by December
81.
1t is said that the great majority Of
designations during the last few years has
been caused by the success of Cupid, and
that in almost every instance quoted
to his wiles
Those who have resigned during the
three terms are as follows: Bell c.

There are thirteen colored schools in the
city with an average daily attendance of
3 294 The total enrolment of pupils is
5,l59 while the average number belong
ing is 4.30l These are taught by 133
teachers. which is not quite ten per cent
of the number of white instructors en-
ployed.

ANTITRUST BILLS.
Matter Has Been Practically Settled
by House.

Washington, Jan. 9.-As a result of ex-
tended consideration of the various pend
ing antitrust bills. the subcommittee of
the house judiciary committee of which
Representative Littlefield is chairman. has
practically agreed on an antitrust bill.
Ii has not yet been adopted formally
but it is said to meet the approval of all
members of the subcommittee. 1t will
be laid before the full committee tomor-
row, when ii is expected its features will
be made public. II is understood that it
provided for publicity. not through
commission to be created, but through
the interstate commerce commission. 1t
is further understood that the bill covers
administration suggestions for antitrust
legislation. The antitrust bills intro
dUced yesterday, which were drawn by
the attorney general, will go to the judi

Mr. CFAMBERLATyS PLAN.

Mr. Chamberlain has at last, at a fitting time
and in a fitting way. outlined authoritatively
his fiscal policy lie has done so not only in
the pamphlet which this week is likely to be
the most widely read and discussed print in
England but also in a preface to the book re-
publication Of those notable articles in "The
London Daily Telegraph" to which we have
hitherto referred, and which, though he did not
write them have set forth with accuracy and
fulness Mr.. Chamberlain's objections to the
present system and the need, as he sees #, Of a
radical reform for the sake Of British trade and
OF the British Empire. Despite his apt but cut
ting reference to the Noodles Grafton" Mr.
Chamberlain, in this preface, the principal parts
Of which we have reprinted. deals courteousy
and generously with his opponents, and far
more fairly than they have dealt with him. His
statement Of their line Of argument is as favor
able to them as their own statement of it could
be. and it is. therefore. no man Of straw made
by himself that he knocks down in his reply
but the actual protagonist put forward by his
foes and his reply is so much the more worthy
Of attention.
In denouncing his plan as involving 4 tax
upon food. his critics imply that food is now
free and ignore the fact that large share of
the British revenue is now raised by taxes on
the food OF the common people. There is a
heavy tariff on sugar, tea, coffee, raisins and
other articles which largely and essentially en-
ter into the daily food of the people On sugar
the tariff revenue is nearly $50, 100000 and on
tea nearly S29OO0000 a year. The total reve-
nue. from such food articles ia 1901-'02 was
more than S650O00e0. Passing by the $780,
100000 tax on tobacco and beer, most OF which
is paid by the working people, we have more
than S65. 100000 existing taxes on food-just as
much a tax on food as wheat tariff would be
II the nearly $50 100000 tariff on tea were abol-
ished and an equal amount were levied on
wheat the burden to the British people would
be no greater Nor would the poor mans
table suffer more If the nearly $1,000 900
sugar tax were transferred TO grain or meat;
for. while bread and mea; are more important
elements Of food than tea and sugar, they are
also much more largely used and the same
gross amount OF tax spread out over them
| would be so much the lighter than It is on the
| present objects AS a matter of fact Mr. Cham
oellaln's plan would probably reduce by con-
SIDERABLE amount the gross tax levied on nee
essary articles OF food
Equally happy is the REPUTATION OF the Cob
aenite preience that the whole amount of the
ne" duty would have TO be paid nv the con-
sumner. Mr.. Chamberlain points out that that Is
| contrary 70 the judgment Of the foremost mod
/ ern economists, contrary 90 the exnerienca NJ
/ France and Germany and Of other nrotec,aa
/ countries, where prices have NOT risar 20 ,ho

THE DEATH PENALTY.

For the fulness with which Thursdays in
cidents at Dannemora were reported by the
press there was at least one decent excuse
The execution Of three death sentences at
the same time and place is not without prec
edent, but this is the first time such an oc-
currence has taken place since electricity was
substituted for the moose. Hence the modern
method was subjected to an unusual test but
was creditably vindicated. Three men met
their fate in rapid succession, and the physi-
clans who were present have expressed the
opinion that the system is humane and expedi-
tous.' That is what the enforcement Of every
law should always be; but the necessity is the
greater when a doubt in the public mind is
likely 20 excite a morbid interest I'm details. II
is gratifying. therefore, after sixteen years
experience, 10 receive conclusive testimony
to the fact that death In the electric chair is
swift and certain.
Erroneous differences are sometimes drawn
from the fortunate escapes occasionally re-
corded after an accidental encounter with a
live wire or third rail. In many such cases the
volume and voltage of the current are not able
10 kill. In some other instances the contact
between the metal conductor and the human
body is not perfect enough to admit of fatal
effects. If the skin be dry or greasy, or If it
be separated from the wire by dry clothing
little or no harm will ensue. Moreover a man
must touch two conductors, and thus consti-
tute part Of a circuit. before electricity VIII
condescend to go through him at all. One con-
tact, no matter how good, is not enough To
the trained electricians employed by the State
the requirements Of an effective execution are
entirely simple. and they make impossible such
conditions as sometimes insure immunity in
cases Of accident

ALASKA BOUNDARY Principles.

Two statements OF principles in the Alaska
boundary discussion last week deserve ut least
passing notice. One was Sir Edward Carson'S
eloquent reference to Great Britains policy of
not suTTendering her subjects to the control of
other nations. But that is American policy. too.
and IL so happens that in this case the Ameri-
can. and not the British. policy is at issue. The
strip OF Alaskan coast which Canada is trying
to acquire and which the United States is de-
teTuined to retain was settled by and is to-day
occupied by Americans, not Britons. For Great
Britain to leave Dyea and Skagway to this
country. TO which they lawfully belong would
not be to expatriate any Of her subjects. For
the United States TO surrender those towns to
Canada would be TO expatriate multitude of
its citizens. Sir Edwards argument was there
fore really on the American side.
The other point was Mr.. Dickinson's conten-
ton that apart from details on maps and hair
splitting over the meaning Of individual words.
the case should be decided according to the gen
era principles and central intention of the orig
inal negotiators. That is quite right. Upon
the ground of details on maps and elsewhere
the case Of the United States is secure. for all
maps down to a few years back unequivocally
conceded the full American claim. But still
more is our case sustained by the general prin-
ciples Of the Canning Nesselrode negotiations
of 1875. There is no fact connected with those
negotiations more certain than that the Brit
ish strove TO break through the coast strip to
tdewater. at Lynn Canal or elsewhere, and
that the Russians were determined that they
should not do so, and that the conclusion was
that the Russians won and the english were
specifically smut back from tidewater at every
point north of Portland Canal That was the
central intention" III the original negotators.
That is the principle that must now prevail
