hay, harness and tools. Mr.. Huffman

become discouraged over the loss of a
little matter like three or four thous.
and dollars.

Justice Brewer on Appeals.

In the Independent, in an article of
convincing power, Justice Brewer de-
tends his position upon the right of
appeal. 1t will be remembered that
Justice Brewer, few months ago,
provoked very severe criticism by
questioning in a speech the benefit to
justice of the right of appeal.
Justice Brewer calls attention to
the fact that the right of appeal is
neither n constitutional nor a nat
statute. The state owes ii to the
public and the accused to provide a
competent, impartial tribunal before
which his case may be tried. But it
does not owe it to them TO provide Il
second tribunal to inquire whether
the first has erred. Justice Brewer
indeed, would provide this second
court as a matter of mercy; but he
would make it the law that this APP
pellate court itself, and not the de-
feated party, should determine wheth-
err or not there should be review. He
would take away the right of the de-
feated to compel review, on a mere
certificate of probable error; the
judgment of the trial court should
remain fixed unless the court of APP
peal believed that injustice had been
done. He would not permit the trial
court, or any judge of merely equal
rank, or any judge who had nothing
to do with the case and would have
nothing further to do with it. to
grant stay of proceedings and com
pei an appellate court to examine a
case which no member of that court
considered worthy of review. In ev-
cry case probable injustice and not
merely technical error should be the
ground of review; substance is more
important than form; results than
methods.
1t is expedient that every litigation
come to an early end and too much
weight is given to technical points.
There is nothing revolutionary in JUS
tice Brewers plan, since it sufficiently
safeguards the interests of the defeat
ed, since it provides that probable in
justice shall be the ground for re-
view

REPUBLICAN ECONOMY.
An Announcement That Contains the
Usual Ante-electiOn HumbuE.

An Announcement That Contains the
Usual Ante-eIectiOn Humbug.
1t is officially given out at Washing
ton that President Roosevelt and
Speaker Cannon have agreed that no
legislation is to be enacted at the COM
ing sessions of congress other than Gu
ban reciprocity and the necessary ap-
preparation bills and that congress is to
adjourn at the end of April or by the
LIST of May. The same report says that
the utmost frugality is to be the rule
and that all appropriate On bills are to
be pared to the core No,river and har
Dor bill, no new public buildings, no
increase of salaries and no new offices
created. The word pork is to be ban
ished from the Republican vocabulary,
and parsimony is to take the place of
extravaganza. Such a programme has
constantly been given out before cleo
tions, but has never yet been carried
out by q Republican administration.
The rural rooster who represents a
Republican constituency would under
such conditions of economy find Wash
ington poor field for his efforts. The
lobby would be banished, and that has
not happened since the Democrats
were in power. A Republican congress
without graft would be barren ideal
ity and is as impossible as that water
should run up a hill. In the language
of the Texan delegate to Republican
national convention, What are we
here for?' and the universal chorus
was, 'For what there is in it, of
course"
There Is, however, q slice of dough"
to be distributed to the rank and file of
congress, which the leaders will also
assimilate. to heal the wounds of such
brutal thrift. Under the law the men,
bers of congress are allowed 20 cents a
mile going to and returning from
Washington, and the extraordinary
session that President Roosevelt has
called offers the opportunity of good
graft on the public treasury. 1t is pro-
posed to pay each congressman mileage
for the extra session and also for the
regular session which Immediately fol-
lows OF course none of them will go
home. and if they should the passes
which are so generously distributed By
the railroads will provide transporta-
ton. As some of the members are paid
over 81 900 for mileage, the total
amount of this extra allowance will
take hundreds of thousands of dollars
out of the treasury. Republican econ
omy generally has string to it, and
the old cry of 1.-THE old flag and an APP
preparation" may yet prevail with
these Republican patriots.

John f. Russell, the prominent

sets, the collectorship of the port of
Boston. the Spanish mission, the Ital-

College Ethics.

The action of the navy department
in dismissing three students at An
napOlis from the service of the United
States. or in other words, eXpelling
them from the naval academy, for
''hazing'' is an example that it would
be well for other higher institutions
of learning throughout the country to
follow. Hazing is simply an indica-
ton of savagery. 1t is the many com
bined against the few, and yet in spite
crops out and is defined by the stu
dents as an evidence of the superiori-
ty of the upper classes.
\ code of ethics that includes such
doctrine is demoralizing in its influ-
ence, and the sooner it is abandoned
the better it will be for the country
and its institutions of learning. Henry
7. Boltwood, a well-known educator
of this state, declares that this de-
moralizing influence extends down
through all the walks of life until it
reaches the common school. Mr..
Boltwood says:
I'm college life and college con-
science outrages which under civil
law are punished with fine and i'm
prisonment and subjects the offenders
to public contempt are regarded as
matters of Boosting and a false COM
munity sentiment shields offenders
from exposure and punishment This
idea of special class privileges reaches
outside of the college into the lower
schools and the rowdyism, vulgarity
and theft of college men are glori-
fed. \ college athletic contest is
too often made the excuse for gam
bling, drunkenness and theft and open
robbery, plundering restaurants, de-
frauding merchants, interfering with
the rights of the travelling public,
breaking up theatres and mobbing
lecturers. What others call meanness
and rascality and cowardly brutality,
college men call fun To call pilfer-
ing spoons, dishes and sofa cushions
fun is TO put on false label, but it
does not change the character of the
act. The self-conscious air of pride
with which fraternity boys and girls
ignore the outside barbarians who
are often their intellectual and moral
superiors is simply exasperating. In

To Help Them Close Sunday.

To Help Them Close sunday.
Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, April 1S.-Muscatine
house keepers who have been buying
the meat for the Sunday dinner on
Sunday morning will be compelled to
make different arrangements IL the
plans of the Retail Clerks union of
Muscatine are carried out. At meet
ing of this organization last night.
the names of fifteen butcher clerks We're
Examined and approved, this being the
preliminary step in the work of union
izing the meat shops of the city
1t is said that the owners of the
meat markets themselves are the men
who are urging a change in the bust
ness hours. Representatives of the
butcher interests of Muscatine called
upon the Retail Clerks union some
time ago, asking assistance in revising
the order of things, and the clerks con-
cluded that the best way out of the
difficulty was to make union men out
of the butcher clerks, a move that was
suggested and sanctioned by the own
ers of the meat markets.
The plan in sight is to do away en-
tircly with the Sunday opening, and
adopt shorter hours for the week
days.
