Evidences multiply that Joseph Cham
berlain's protection theory has taken
strong hold throughout Great Britain.The
latest testimony TO the efficacy OF the

action OF the London county council,
which has just refused 10 award a con-
tract for rails for the tram lines to a
Belgian contractor the lowest bidder de-
Gliding at the same time TO buy from a
British firm. This is complete reversal
of the policy hitherto pursued by the
council. IL was. avowedly, an indorse-

Recent revelations have shown n de-

tho Puritan tradition. Apparently there
is a disposition TO regard the honesty OF
the Puritans as just as obsolete as their
bigotry. Practical politicians show the

The Wrong Of Prejudging.

Mr.. James N. Tyner, the assist
ant postmaster general of the post
Office department, has just grounds
of complaint against President
Roosevelt and he states them in a
dignified way. Mr.. Tyner is under
Indictment for fraud in connection
with his official position. He is
entitled, as are all men under in
dictment, to a fair trial. No Off
cial, no newspaper, no citizen has
any right to prejudice public senti-
ment against him. When an in
dictment comes into court pu bile
attack upon the accused should
cease. This is only decent among
fair-minded men. But President
Roosevelt takes advantage of his
high position to gain the ear OF
every possible juror with an as
sertion of his belief in Tyner's
guilt. To this unwarranted mode
of influencing juries in criminal
cases, Mr.. Tyner very properly re-
spends with a searching question.
"Has it occurred to you," he asks

the President, "that pending the
trial of the three indictments
against me, based on the allega-
tions of the report, and without
having heard one word from me in
my defense, your premature and
unwarranted announcement of my
assumed guilt and your call to the
court and jury to indorse the same,
is, to say the least, extraordinary
and dangerous?"
Every man accused Of crime is
entitled to certain rights. Not to
condone his crime if he is guilty,
but to shield him from injustice il
he is guilty, but to shield him from
injustice if he is innocent or ex-
cusable. One of those rights is
that the jury must regard him as
innocent until his guilt is affirma-
lively proved beyond reasonable
doubt. OF this right, President
Roosevelt has done much to deprive
Mr.. Tyner. With the Presidents
denunciation in mind, many a
juror would go into the box con-
vinced Of the defendants guilt. Sc
