Hot Wordssln the House

AS the sap rises In the trees, the tenn
per Of members of the house of repre-
sentatives rises also. AT first blush
there would seem to be nothing in the
subject of restricting immigration to
arouse personal animosities Neverthe-
less it engendered such heat betwiNt
Mr.. Hopkins of Kentucky and Mr..
Bennett of New York that the house
squandered two hours of valuable time
expunging from the record half dozen
personal remarks made by Mr.. Hop
kins. On the expunging resolution
Hon. John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi was SO wrought up that he de-
livered some remarks touching Mr..
Bennett so personal that after two or
three days cooling time he voluntarily
asked that they be stricken from the
record. Mr. Small of North Carolina
and Mr.. Macon of Arkansas said such
bitter things to each other in debate
about the appropriation for the South
ern railroad that in the good old days
they would have pistoled each other at
Bladensburg. Likewise, in running
fire debate concerning certain alleged
abuses at the st. Elizabeth's Lunatic
asylum, General Grosvenor of Ohio
and Mr.. Clark of Florida used such
heated words that Mr. Williams of Mis-
sissippi urged that they be stricken
from the record, which was done by
mutual consent.

It appears to be the general consen-
sus Of opinion that the presidents ora
ton touching "the man with the muck
rake" is likely to rank with his most
potable performances, not, however,
because of anything he said on his
subject, but because OF what he said
about taxing the large fortunes of dead
men. 1t will be remembered that dur
ing the discussion of the income tax
feature of the Wilson tariff bill that IL
lustrious orator, Hon. William Bourke
Cochran of New York, declared that 1t
would drive the very rich of Gotham
into the habit of committing perjury.
The presidents plan has one advan-
tage, for dead men cannot commit per-
jury-in fact, according to the old prov
erb, Dead men tell no tales"

The st. Louis Globe Democrat is a

So is the Washington Star. Here is an
editorial from the Star commenting on
a Globe Democrat editorial, which fur

CHURCH CAMPAIGN GRARs.

The special Smoot agency in this
city announced with a flare of crum
pets few days ago that it was receiv
ing money from Democrats for the
circulation of Republican literature. -
We pointed out that this could only
mean one thing, that Apostle Smoot
was endeavoring to save himself and
Col Loose in this as much as possible
from loss IN running that church
agency, and TO that end was diverting
the Democratic campaign funds as well
as the Republican campaign funds
from their legitimate campaign uses to
make good his personal losses in run
ming that "organ.' There has been
a tacit understanding al along the line
| that this was the true Interpretation
OF the Smootite's S triumphant outburst
, that IT was getting money from the
Democrats for the circulation of - Re.
publican litera ture.' This, OF course,
was absolutely impossible, except on
the basis suggested--the g 'robbing Of the
g Democratic - campaign fund TO make
good Apostle Smoot's losses in contin-
uing TO print his personal organ.
And now the question is, how do the
campaign managers and the candidates
like iti It is understood that they
are raising a considerable campaign
fund, but that their understanding has
been that the money so raised should
be applied IN legitimate campaign uses
The Smoot organ. however, made It's

unquestionably IL viii receive even
more from church Republican sources

Apostle Smoot and Col. Loose little
rest in the way of making good ON the
losses entailed by that losing venture

TRADE CONTROL IN NATIONS.

There has never been time in the
history of the world when business,
trade, and commerce exercised so
powerful an influence upon national
and international affairs as now. We
have recently seen the splitting IN two
of Joint kingdom by reason of com
mercial considerations. Norway OBJ
iected to being represented by Swedish
consuls IN the different maritime ports
of the world, and made demand to
have Norwegian consu!s represent Nor
wegian trade in foreign ports, This
under the joint monarchy was imprac-
ticable; but Norway was insistent, and
the result was separation OF the king
dom and the establishment of the new
and separate kingdom of Norway.
A situation somewhat analogous to
this has arisen between Canada and
Great Britain. Canada makes a de-
mand for the appointment of special
Canadian attache to the British lega-
tion at Washington, who shall deal with
the relations between Canada and the
United States. on a basis separate from
the relations of Great Britain proper
with this country. Supporting this de.
mand, and going with it, there is a

ueuanu Ior Tue appointment OF cana
dian consuls in the ports of the various
nations with which tho Dominion Of
Canada and its people have trade re.
lations. The Canadians claim that the
British consuls are of no advantage or
help to Canadian interests. These at
tend primarily to the interests of the
home country, and Canada is given the
cold shoulder throughout Not only
so, it often appears that where Canada
is rival of England, the consul gives
the preference to England in trade re-
latlops;. thus being IN fact q hostile
agency, and factor in decreasing the
trade of Canada.
But the British Cabinet is utterly un-
able to seelthis matter in the Canadian
light. the British government con-
siders that to yield to the demand of
Canada would in effect be to recognize
Canadian independence and leave Great
Britain in the attitude Of merely being
at the back of Canada in the use of
the imperial fleet and arms to advance
Canada g interests without getting any
return whatever.
1t has come TO be generally accepted
in Canada that if the Dominion desires
to separate from the British Empire,
there will be no actual employment of
force to compel her to remain q colony
or attachment Of the Imperial govern
ment. Therefore, if Canada persists
In demanding the separate attache at
Washington (Which would in effect be
separate and independent legation) 8,
and in demanding separate cousuls, she
has taken the first steps, just es Nor
way did, TO separation from the home
| government. Whether Great Britain
would allow Canada to segregate her
self as Norway was allowed to do from
| the joint kingdom, is questionable In
| Canada the opinion generally prevails
| that Great Britain would make no
| forcible resistance, and if Great Britain
made no forcible resistance, of course
no resistance would count in case
Canada really took the step; and so
the relations between our neighbor on
the north and the home government are
In decidedly interesting condition.
There is liable to be something doing
at any time, and all on account of com
merce and trade
Canada is feeling that she must 90
It alone in trade matters because she
| has interests 10 serve that are not only
her own exclusively, but that in many
ways come directly in conflict with the
home relations of the people of Great
Britain. This will be more and more
marked as Canada develops her manu-.
featuring enterprises and enters into
the world competition In manufacture
ing industries and products for export.
The complications are liable to become
acute at any time, and if the Canadian
view Is correct, separation may at
any time be forced And then will
come the question whether Canada is
able to stand alone alongside OF the
| big brother, Uncle Sam In ease of
separation between Canada aud Great
Britain, there would undoubtedly sprinp
up at once a tremendous public senti,
ment for union with the United States
which would be a union worth while
for both countries

MORALITY AND SPOONS.
Chicago Tribune.

Following somewhat general ar"
raignment of American morality as
compared with European civilization, it
is argued by returned traveller that
Americans are regarded dishonest in
Europe because they are always
stealing spoons and other souvenirs. -
The acquisition Of spoons and other
mementos by a process remote from
the ordinary channels OF trade IS Ger.
tainly deplorable and not lightly TO be
dismissed, and yet, in defense Of this
alleged national characteristic, some ex-
planation should be offered. To take
or assume without right is an accepted
definition of stealing, so the argument
hinges merely on the question OF right.
The American who has been subject.
ed to the infinite variety of tipping
nuisances in his travels on the Euro
pean continent comes in time 10 regard
this practice as little short OF a most
unpleasant order OF theft, correspond
ing measurably to the hold-up exercises
familiar by reputation if not by expert
ence to the citizens of Chicago and
other large centers of population. He
NAV perhaps look upon spoon as a
trifie too inconsiderable TO involve even
suspicion OF petty larceny, or if he
is not committed to this advanced view
he may deem II 2 proper way of even
ing up an account enlarged by the
moral European method OF exacting in
finite tips. He takes it as a sort OF
partial payment or repayment and ~oes
on his way with an easy conscience and
an added souvenir TO his collection.

FIRST AID REQUISITES.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The promptness with which victims
of accidents are attended and their
sufferings relieved IS admirable proof
of a growing humanity In all the larger
cities. Swift-running onbulanees CON
venient medical attendance. accident
wards In ali the ospitals-these testify
to the common desire to help the unfor-
tunates with all possible speed To
these necessities the city OF Leicester
IN England has added a humber of first
aid cabinets. They are scattered about
the downtown streets, most OF them
at street intersections. The cabinet a
neat box, is fastened TO a lamppost and
opened IL the same manner as FIRE
alarm box. 1t contains splints, band
ages, smelling salts and a number of
other recognized first aid appliances
These cabinets are erected by. the st.
John S ambulance brigade Of Leicester
and on several occasions have proved
their worth. the sufferer receiving aid
that was absolutely needed before the
ambulance and the hospital surgeon
could arrive.
Everything that tends to relieve hu-
man suffering at the earliest moment
is TO be commended, and the Leicester
first aid cabinets seem an important
step IN this merciful direction.
