"Our New Man.

There are times when it is good to
sit through strong play of serious
interest, times, too, when a comic
opera acts like nerve stimulant, but
probably nothing in the way of an
entertainment has such real tonic
effect as a genuinely funny farce
which keeps an audience in a con-
tinuous state of merriment for to
quote Lord Byron: "Merriment is
the sunny side of existence" and
for that reason the heartiest of well
come should be accorded Harry Be-
resford, who has left in his wake
throughout the country of most glow
ing press reports of his excellent
work as a comedian of a high order.
He will offer his latest success, "Our
New Man, which makes no preten-
tons to- be other than a farce of the
most farcial character, but it has

fords protection to the American wheat
producers? - b
Why cannot the big sanills grind Cana
dian wheat in bond fosithe foreign trade
under the rulings and regulations Of the
treasury department that governed the
Washburn mill two years ago, to which
the farmers raised no OBJECTIONS?
If the Washburn system at that time
found it to their advantage to mill in bond
for the export trade, why can it not
now be done? All that the farmers ask
and insist upon is that the spirit and the
letter of the wheat tariff schedule be re.
spected by the treasury department and
the flour milling trade. If protection ap-
plies to the wheat producers they want
to enjoy "all the legitimate benefits to
which they are entitled under the pres
emit tariff" #, on the other hand, tho
wheat schedule. is simply delusion asd a
sham, then let that schedule be repealed,
and with it every schedule that protects
the trusts to whom the farmers pay
/ tribute.
| Senator Hansbrough Is to be commended

special privileges to the milling trade by
the treasury department, at variance with
the spirit of protection and the present

NEWS OF TIE BOOK WORLD
THE UNEASY CHAIR

Life, With Its Joys and Sorrows, Under
the Shadow of the Race ProbIen.-We
might as well admit the fact that we Of
the. north, who have never been long
enough in the south to come face to face
with the more serious aspects of the race
problem, know almost nothing about the
problem. We read the history of the
vigilance committee of the early days in
California and we applaud the decision
with which the committee carried out
drastic measures for the protection Of
those who sought to be law abiding but
could not because anarchy had for the
time displaced the old law and demanded
law surer, sWifter and more deadly in
it's execution, a law before which anarchy
had to yield. Emerson Hough's new
book, The Law OF the Land, is, under the
guise Of q very interesting story, an ap-
peal for just such an attitude toward the
whites OF the south, who now and then
feel compelled to respond to the demands
of the higher law of self preservation, OF
necessity, and by seeming anarchy
strike a blow at anarchy itself. The hero
of Mr.. Hough's book in pleading in court
| for the acquittal of a man charged with
the murder Of several blacks, states the
case in part as follows:
Now, l ask whether at the time of the acts
charged against Calvin Blount there existed any
adequate machinery Of the law. n 1 sub.
init to you that necessity, the greatest of all
laws, and in precedent respected by our courts as
such, would have overridden even the regular ma
chinery of our laws had it been in opera tion
submit further to you that law existed in this
country at that time; that the service of the law
to Its citizens had ceased.
And, please God, in defiance of statute laws
grown weak and impotent, the white viii
wrest from whatsoever hand may hold it the
right to protect the integrity Of his race, the
safety of his women, the Sanctity Of his twOfOl(
| temple of the law
