One Of the strongest arguments
of the free traders. according to
their own view, is that a pr0tec-
tive tariff enables the manufacturer
to gouge the consumer in the home
market, that American goods,
after payin all the transportation
charges, are sold cheaper in for
eign markets than they arc at
home. How much truth there is
in this contention has never been
well established, but admitting
that there is some truth in ii, it
does not prevail that the whole
theory and practice of the pro-
tcctive tariff is wrong. The
American people have seen too
much good resulting from the ap-
plication Of the policy Of protection
for home industries to disayow its
wholesomcness now. If there are
those who have put ''their feet in
the trough" under cover of he tar
if, it only proves that among
American manufacturers there are
hogs, and they can be reached
without tumbling down the whole
edfce Of the protective tariff to
do 50. just now the administra-
ton is advancing the contention
that the federal government has
the right to regulate and control
the freight rates. If the govern
mcnt has that power of the rail
roads it has the same right to con
troll the prices on manufactured
products. If it can be established
to the satisfaction of the govern
mcnt that American manufacturers
arc selling goods at a certain price
in foreign countries, the govern
ment should demand that these
prices prevail in the United States
also. IIegislate against these hogs
that have their feet in the trough.
not against the whole Amcrican,in-
dustrial system.

The Spaugh boys, who are now
lying IN Jail at Ironton on Il charge
of murder, are said to have express
ed themselves as being sorry that
they killed Sheriff Polk. Their
regret is not so much at having
taken life, but over the fact that
the act has brought them into very
serious trouble, with visions of the
hangman's moose disturbing their
serenity, The prickings of con
science over their dreadful deed is
evidently not the cause of their
grief. In committing the crime
the ''bad man" instincts of these
young men were uppermost, they
wanted to "get" their man and cut
a notch in their guns. They now
realize that society, organized fol
protection against such criminals.
will demand the price of the crime.
And so they are "sorry."

As we get the more detailed ac-
counts of the recent great naval
battle in the Corcan straits between
the Japanese and Russian fleets
one cannot but wonder why the
Russian ships were there at all.
In number of armored vessels and
weight of guns the Russian feet
was said to have been superior to
that of its opponents, yet, when
we view the damage inflicted upon
the latter there is but one concIu-
sion left to be arrived at, that the
Russians We're not there to fight, OF
that they were incapable of max
ing fight through fright. 1t was
a sacrifice of ships and the lives oi
thousands of men to send the Rus
sian fleet to to the East. Tho
spirit of battle did not enter in the
Russian side of The fight, and al
most with the firing of the iirst
shot the forces OF the Gar were in
frantic haste to make their escape

4 New Law in Making Lawyers.

persons to practice law is vested
in the supreme count, subject to
the following regulations: That
it shall by it's order appoint five
persons learned in law, none of
whom shall be connected with any
law school. and it shall be the duty
of this board strictly to examine
every applicant for license to oprac-
tice law rs to his learning and
skill in the law. The examinations
arc to be extended over all legaI
subject ordinarily taught iii law
schools, and the examinations shal
also require that the candidate
shall have a fair education, that ht

those Lying in the larger cities. L
is shown by these reports that in
many cities abroad municipal gov
ernment has been reduced to al
most an exact science. Berlin, in
the domain of Il ''monarchiul de5
pot" is held to be the best govern
ed city in the world, why? Be
cause, it is shown by the report OF
the American counsel in that city.
the various municipal departments
are conducted by officials each of
whom is an expert in his palticu
lar function Of the whole system
Of the city's government, in other
words, Berlin has government
by experts for the benefit Of its
citizens. In contrast with Berlin
let It's take any of the large cities
of the United States, New York,
Philadelphia or ST, Louis, either
viii do, and thele we find the pub
lie affairs conducted not by experts
bat by ward politicians, each with
the primary object in view of get
ting as much out Of it for himself
as he can. In our municipalities
a man need only be expert in poll
ties to get public Office, in Berlin
he must show himself capable of
the Office before he can secure it.
That is the difference, and that is
why Berlin is held to be the best
governed municipality in the
world.
