Short Lesson In Good Taste for Cor

The following, from q correspondent
in Brentwood Park, indicates At sub
ject for disciplinary attention:
"To rnu EprroR OF TIE suN-sh: The eats.
lorue Of Cornell University In giving tho names
Of the board OF trustees Of the university includes
the following. at the head OF tho column:
1.-THE PRECEDENT OF the University.
-'Hls E1cellsncy the Governor OF New York.
"'Hls Honor the Lieutenant T. Governor
Will TIE Sun b good enough 70 throw little

course appreciate the motives Of politicians and
Others Ia using the abbreviated Hon.. but and
din,ouliy In ascriblng similar motives 70 ths au-
thorities Of great university. T."
This Is a very serious charge, but We
have verified it by an examination OF
the Cornell catalogue. The three names
at the head Of the list Of trustees appear
there as stated by IT.
The Governor OF New York il no
more entitled to be styled his Excel
lency" than IL the Leutenant-Go Governor;
and there is no moro reason for desig-
mating the Lieutenant Governor as his
Honor than for attaching that ornament
to the name Of the president Of Cornell
University or Of the director Of its
gymnasium
The styles which the compiler OF the
Cornell catalogue has thought it proper
to bestow upon the Governor and the
Lieutenant-Go Governor do not belong TO
New York. They are borrowed from the
political hierarchy Of the neighboring
Commonwealth OF Massachusetts, whore
the Governor is constitutionally en-
titled to be known as "his Exceliency,
and tho Lieutensnt-Governor is consti-
tutionally entitled to be known as his
Honor
The first three names in Cornell's List
OF trustees would appear a. below ii
practical common sense and scientific
accuracy had prevailed in the preparation
OF the official register Of that distin-
guished institution:
"Tne President OF the University.
-The Governor OF New York.
The Lieutenant Governor Of New YORK.
Apparently, however. the person
charged with the making Of the cata-
logue vaguely remembered the Massa-
chusetts usage. and thought tho titles
"his Excellency' and "his Honor would
look fine at the top Of the page. They
do not look fine there. They look fool
ish; and for tho credit Of Cornell they
should be removed from their position
Of spectacular incongruity at the earliest
revision OF the catalogue.

Spectal Trade AGENTS.

trade conditions in other countries only
ono has as yet got we'll into his work.
1t is to be hoped that when tho others
strike into their gait they will not follow
Prof. HUTCHINSON in the matter Of
proli1ity. His reports from South
America are perhaps interesting TO those
who have time to read them, but who
has the time? Here and there in his
letters there ID an item OF some value,
but such are too generally buried in a
volume Of commercial platitudes and
statements Of facts already we'll known.
His coworkers should be less diffuse.
What the commercial public wants
from these gentlemen 10 concise and
specific information. 1t wants to know
where it can 60 and sell goods. It has
long been dinned into the ears Of our
merchants that they do not pack their
goods properly, that they will not meet
the credit systems Of their competitors,
that their efforts are too spasmodic. All
these propositions, and others which are
like unto them, are an old story.
There are few who have either time
or inclination to read even interesting

Our Imports.

In some dsrkly mysterious fashion
an ever increasing quantity Of mer-
chandise which is the product of other
countries persists in finding its way
over, through or around the barrier
known - the Dingley tariff. The fiscal
year 1905 was our banner year. for i'm
ports, Only once before. in 1908, have
we crossed the billion dollar mark. Last
year we passed it by Sll7,5oo,O 900.

total imports were tsSs, ~ 1892, or about
40 per cent. Of their value last year, The

free list and the dutiable list. The in
crease in the free list is S2ls,OOo, 900 and
in the dutiable list $4,000 900. Using
percentages, the increase in free goods

The Baker Boys and the Law.

In his report submitted to the master
bakers convention on Wednesday Presi-
dent ABBOTT seems to make out prima
facie case against the provisions Of law
which prohibit boys under sixteen years
from working by day and those under
eighteen from working at night in bake
shops in New York. Boys, he says,
usually leave school to learn trades
much below sixteen years Of age. and
the result Of the law is to prevent any
from learning tho bakers craft except
the leftovers. These, when they enter
the bakeries to pick up tho trade, have
passed the ago Of adaptability, the age
Of easy learning, and they are seriously
handicapped in becoming expert work.
men.
These are obvious considerations which
might have occurred to any one when
the law was framed. That no attention
was paid 10 them suggests that zeal for
reform got the better Of sober judgment
among its hackers. That grave abuses
in the matter Of apprenticeship in bake
shops have existed In the past cannot
be denied. But an adequate remedy
might have been found for them short
Of Gripping the future Of the trade and
barring hundreds Of American boys from
its pursuit, obviously to the profit Of
imported labor.
II the master bakers agitate for some
modification Of tho law reducing tho
age limits, say to sixteen for night and
fifteen for day work, the concession
being coupled with limitation Of tho
hours Of work by night to six and by
day to seven or eight, they will very
likely find the Legislature ready to yield
TO their reasonable arguments.

ability on the part Of the American poo
pie to buy what 1t wants, from laces
and cut diamonds to oilcloths and picked
herring.
A review OF the list OF imports offers
an interesting jumble Of items, free and
dutiable. for which we pay about $780,
100000 a yenr, as follows:
Gums ,. Leather and manufac-
Cocoa. lures thereof.
Cotton cloth. Nitrate Of soda.
Decorated chlnaware. Cuban leaf tobacco.
Furs and fur skina Manila hemp,
Manufactured furs. Fish,
Animal and vegetable Bananaa,
oils. Uncut diamonds
Boards and sawed lum Wine,
Der. Raw cotton.
These items form, In their value, shout
one-sixth OF our total imports. Cohee
and sugar together form about another
sixth. In combination, rubber, raw silk
and hides and skins will make another
sixth. Adding to these chemicals, drugs
and dyes, wool and fbers and manufac-
lures thereof approximately two-thirds
OF our total imports will be accounted
for. The remainder may be grouped as
miscellaneous.
