AGREES WITH PARKER:
Justice Brewers Attitude in Accord
With That of the Democratic
Candidate.

Mr.. Justice Brewer, of the Supreme
Court. will get into trouble if he keeps
on talking as he did yesterday at st.
Louis about the Constitution VS.. the
Republican policy in the Philippines.
Why, he apparently takes the same
view as Judge Parker! This is in fiat
violation of the only common law that
the President knows-the law, name
ly, that good Republicans must swal-
low their convictions and support all
that he does. Judge Brewer should
remember that he was a Republican
before he was jurist. He was not
put on the bench to furnish aid and
comfort to the Democrats. Imagine a
Republican Senate ever confirming his
appointment to the Supreme Court IL
1t had imagined that he would balk
at finding the law for whatever the
party wanted to do! The Justice, we
dare say, would draw himself up If any
suggestion We're made to him that he
ought to be a partisan on the bench.
and would ruffie in Lord Coke's style
about doing las becometh a judge
but he should understand that we are
changing all that in these high-hying
days when a President announces that
he will pay no attention to any Consti-
tutional provision which, in his opin-
ion, would reduce him to Impotence"

ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY
President Roosevelt's Pension Order
by Commissioner Ware

Commissioner of Pensions Z. T.
Ware undertakes to justify President
Rooseyelts action in the matter of
the age limit pension order, which is
declared to have been unconstitutional
by the Parker Constitutional Club of
New York and in contravention of Sec
| ton of Article l., which reads as
follows:
mo money shall be drawn from the
Treasury, but in consequence of appro-
priations made by law"
In the course of his argument in de-
Tense of the Presidents action Mr..
Ware says:
THE passage of the appropriation
bill recognizing the validity of the
order and voting the money to carry it
| out ended the consideration of the rem
edies proposed"
That settles it, according to the
reasoning of Mr.. Ware, but the fact
remains that It was an action which he
should not have presumed to take I'M
der the power of making regulations
for carrying into effect the statute of
Congress. Congress had a right to en-
act that the attainment of a certain
age created presumption of inability
1t was besought to do it and it refused
1t has been besought to do it at every
session since the disability act was
passed, and it has not done it. The
proper discretion of the Executive in
making regulations was limited to car
rying out the law as enacted, and did
not include regulation relieving the
applicant from the operation of the law
which required that actual disability
should be established by proof. Ac-
cording to the new regulation, disabil-
ity needs not to be proved, but must
be assumed on an age basis, precisely
what Congress has never sanctioned.

TRADE JOURNALS PLEASED.
Journal OF Commerce and New York
Commercial Gratified by Parker's
Letter.

There are two important daily news
papers published in New York that are
distinctly devoted to the interests of
trade and commerce, and both express
hearty approval of Judge Park
er's views on political questions. as ex-
pressed in his letter of acceptance.
These papers are the Journal of Com
merce and the New York Commercial.
The former is independent in politics.
but of Democratic leanings. so that
what is has to say of the letter may not
be as significant as are the utterances
of the Commercial. which also is an
independent journal. but with incin-
ations toward Republicanism. The
Commercial expresses its appreciation
of the letter, as whole, calling it
"dignified, temperate and coDserva-
tive. and calculated to win recruits
for the cause Judge Parker repre-
sents."
Referring TO the candidates hand
ling of the tariff and reciprocity qnes-
tions, the Commercial declares that
"the Judge has dealt singing blow
at the Republican party"

HIT A SORE SPOT.
Discrimination Against Home Buyers
and FayOring Foreigners.

The Democratic charge that the
American people are paying higher
prices for articles of domestic manu-
facture than are paid by foreigners for
identical articles exported from the
United States has hit the G. o. L. In
sore spot. This subject Is gone into
very thoroughly in the Democratic
Campaign book where Ii Is shown that
Americans are compelled TO pay from
ten TO thirty per cent. more for articles
made in this country by protected"
manufacturers, than is paid by Euro
peans and Aslatics for idcntically the
same articles made here and shipped
abroad. Many instances Of such dis
elimination against our home people
are cited, particularly In the lines Of
agricultural implements and builders
hardware.
10 break the force Of this charge the
state Department prints string Of
statements made by American Con
suls in European countries, In which
II Is alleged that manufacturers in
England and Germany also sell manu-
featured articles abroad cheaper than
they do at home. IT Is plain that these
statements were put forth under orders
from the Administration. and that little
cnre was taken to have them accurate.
But even If 1t be true that European
manufacturers sell their surplus odds
and ends" abroad at reduced prices,
ms one Consul says they do, of what
interest Is that to the average Ameri-
can who is held up by our protect
ed manufacturers and compelled to
pay, not for odds and ends but for
his farming tools and Implements, his
engines and machinery, and scores OF
other articles, from ten to thirty per
cent. more than his European brother
has TO pay to the same manufacturer
for like articles?
The American people are not com
planning because manufacturers ship
their odds and ends" to foreign coun-
tries and sell them ut low prices. Their
complaint Is that they are discriminate
cd against in favor OF the foreigner:
that they are being robbed right and
left by manufacturers who shield
themselves behind the DIngley tariff.

After nearly fifteen years of impris-
onment Mrs. Florence Maybrick, has
been released from an English prison,
and has returned to this country where
she has considerable property in West
Virginia at present in litigation. Mrs.
Maybrick was found guilty by an
English court Of having poisoned her
husband in Liverpool. The evidence
was of a nature that would have
cleared her before most American
juries, but the English Judge was con-
WINGED that she was guilty and his
charge to the jury lasted nearly two
days. Later he died in a madhouse.
Mrs. Maybrick was sentenced to death,
but her friends succeeded in securing
a commitment to life imprisonment.
Prominent and influential people in
both this country and England have
worked for her freedom which at last
was granted her.

A Minneapolis attorney who thought
Judge Dickinson of the municipal
court did not use him in the proper
manner in the disposition of a case,
began talking politics to the Judge
after he came down from the bench,
and informed him that he would not
support him for Judge at the next
election. The, judge did not propose
to have justice thus insulted and
jumped into the bench, seized the
judicial pen and was about to declare
the attorney in contempt, when the
latter had to do some very lively
"crawfshing." Judicial dignity is as
broad as the earth, as deep as the sea
and as high as the heavens down in
the basement Of the Hennepin county
court house.

A perusal of the board of equaliza-

A perusal of the board of equaliza-
ton proceedings which appears in the
. nj n this week, is a most interest
ing chapter on the crude and bungling
manner in which the average assess
ments are made for the purpose of tax
alton. The work of the Mile Laos
county assessors in the main is no
worse perhaps than that of the bal
ance of the State assessors. One has
only to study the proceedings of most
OF the county boards to discover that
all assessment work is more or less
alike and a mass Of glaring inequali-
ties. The work this year in Mile
Laos county is far from being up to
the average, but taking into account
the fact that SO many assessors are
unfamiliar with this work and never
properly understand the nature of it..
and are given very brief and hasty
instructions it is only a wonder that
many returns are not in worse shape
than they are. Equally as accurate
returns on real and personal property
could be secured by blanks mailed by
the county auditor to all property
owners in the county. The increases
ordered in valuations on real and
personal property in Mile Laos
county show that a common stand
ard or unit of valuation is lacking
somewhere. There are corrections
needed Theoretically and practically.

Second PaDerS.

In order for a foreign-born person
to vote he must take out his natural
ization papers three months before
election. Those who came to this
country before they were twenty-one
years of age, need not be naturalized
if their fathers were naturalized before
the sons became of age. In case a.
father did not take out naturalization
papers before the son became of age.
the latter can take out both first and
second papers at the same time. First
or declaration papers can be taken
out any time after coming to this
country. Second papers cannot be
taken out until two years after first
papers are issued. but at that time a
five years. residence in the United
States must be sworn to, and there
must be two witnesses. Naturaliza-
ton papers can be taken out before
any district judge.
