WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND 1T
Sank Centre Herald.

Two years ago Congressman McCleary
submitted an elaborate table to show that
lumber was dearer in Winnipeg and Can
ada than in the United States. In his
reply to- Governor Cummins in his Boston
speech he submitted another table show
ing that steel rails cost more in Europe
than in the United States. Despite these
elaborate tables any man who has had
business in these matters knows the
statements are not correct. But sup
pose they were and that lumber and steel
products are dearer in these countries
than in the United States, how in the
name of all that Is wonderful can that
be construed as an argument in favor. of
tariff on these commodities? Are the
business men of the United States so
short-sighted that tariff is necessary
to keep them from going into a foreign
country and buying goods that they can
buy cheaper. at home? Such PROPOSE
ton is the quintessence of asinfnfty.

journal Special Service.

East Orange, N. j. Dec. 4.-Mem-
bers Of the congregation Of the Mum
Avenue Presbyterian church no longer
have to strain their ears if they sit
away back in the church and desire to
hear the doctrines of Presbyterianism
propounded by Rev. DR.. James M. Lud-
low, their pastor.
DR.. Ludlow is an interesting preacher,
but some of the old. folks. and those
who sit i'll the rear of the church audi
torium, which is a large one. have diff
fculty in hearing him. These persons
discovered that all the trouble was rem
edied when they entered their pews
yesterday.
They found neat little telephone re-
ceivers, which are connected with a
powerful and finely adjusted trans
mitter in the pulpit, directly in line
with the Presbyterian sounlwaves as
they issue from the pastors month.
The whole arrangement is really moth
inc more nor less than an interior tcle-
phone system with an instrument in
every lew.

The MeriWether Case.

The MeriWether courtmartial in the
naval academy has concerned itself
most assiduously with the problem Of
getting the defendant off free. There
has been an apparent intention to slur
over the facts and to allow the evidence
that Branch was killed in the fight to
be mixed and confused with the posi-
bihty that he might have died Of heart
disease or disappointment in love. This
has given some color to the widely en-
tertained belief that the department
has determined upon a whitewash and
that the trial is merely for the purpose
of making the washing process legal.
THERE'S some logical reason why the
department should not pursue Cadet
Meriwether fercely. He has on his
side the custom of the academy to per.
nit and even wink at such combats
The fact that his came out fatally
loads the whole responsibility for the
exposure of a. system upon Meriwether
whereas the most Of it belongs to the
system. 1t is the academy which is or
trial. not the boy who INDUCED in 6
fight. The officers Of the academy prob
ably have a tenderness against convict
ing &Meriwether2of a; crime Of which
bthey themselves are more guilty than he
| The system, one cannot help believe
ing, is bad one. Soldering and sail
oring are not learned by brutality. No
is it true that the man Of the creates
prowess with his fists is the creates
sailor. It is not even a. final test O.
courage. 1t can be nothing but part O.
a general hardening process, the pur
suit of which is Of doubtful efficacy.

proper, you may be mistaken. Hence
there is "a propriety and value IN the
discussion of this phase Of the case. #
you should be convinced that you ought
to resign, then there would be a double
gain. The state Of New York would
gain the opportunity to choose sena-
tor whose name had not been smirched
and whose influence had not been re-
duced by the unfortunate exposures OF
wrongdoing. You would gain the sat
isfaction Of having performed a stern,
even a heroic, duty. You would set an an
example which might result in other
designations from the senate. It is pos
sible that your resignation now would
start a movement Of untold advantage
to your country.
= Asa senator you can never expect to
shine. You have been a senator for
more than six years and what have you
accomplished? What laws for the re-
lief of the people bear your names
What resolutions or acts destined to be-
come historic have you advocated9 Can
you conscientiously say that, you have
even made a good joke since you took
tho oathg No, your senatorial career is
blank. The only way you can signal
ize your senatorial career is by leaving
the senate. If you should write let
ter to the governor Of New York saying
that you do not see where you come in
as senator, and declining longer to
keep useful man out of a job, the PEG.
pie would almost respect you. If you
should follow this up by returning to
the Equitable Life company all the
money you have received as salary, ex-
cept 5000 year, you would win ap-
plause. People would say, "Well,
Chauncey was not an Intentional CRATER

more sense than most Of those fellows

you think it would be worth the sacri
fee to rehabilitate yourself in public
