Marshal Won Wrangel is one of the

noticed that young cavalry lieuten-

that were not of the regulation pat

gave him twenty-four hours arrest.
The lieutenant, who belonged to the

 Discussing the reports given out about RooseveIt's coming message, one of which Is that he will recommend the enactment by Congress of uniform divorce law. ThNeBrookiyn Eagle says:
 As tS divorce It Is a State affair. The Federal Government has enough. if not more than enough, to do when 1t minds all the business within US province, which has been duly de1ned. It should be possible to secure uni lsnce to the organic law of the land 1t should be possible for the States. under State auspices. pure and simple, to take counsel with each other to the end that their divoece laws shall be Identical. Perhaps thls is what the disposed to remember the Constitution. Otherwise his observations on the sub feet of divorce will probably call for nothing more than revision--or recall. As a topic it is s'loaded."
 Let not The Eagle lay the fiattering junction to its soul that such trifing matters as "the organic law of the land" will deter the President from recommending legfsiation. The theory that II am the State" has taken such firm hold on him that nothing but a decided Congressional rebufF can be ex- pected to have any effect on him, That uniform divorce jaws would be of great ana lasting good to the country and the people Is beyond doubt but that legislation will not come from Con- gress.

A GLIMMERINa PRoMIsE.

According to the Washington corre- spondent of The Chicago Tribune. Sem ator Cullom, of Illinois, will, when Con- eress assemblies, introduce a joint res- olution providing for the appointment of an expert tariff commission ito con- sider and report on those schedules which should be revised" This infor- nation might be important if it didn't have a string tied to it. It is well known that in New England. as well as in the West and Middle West, there is A strong demand for tariff revision, and the Republicans may yield to it., so far as promises are concerned.
 The string consists in the fact that while this commission is to report to Congress such changes as it considers in the interest of the working people, "the work shall be undertaken in such a way that the revision will not fall upon the eve of a Presidential elec- tion." That last sentence shows the insincerity of the Republican position. Even if the joint resolution should be adopted early in the session of Con gress in December it is not even sup possible that the commission will be prepared to make any report during the session. When Congress meets in December of next year it will then be sthe eve of a Presidential election" and the party will not consider it safe to file a report which might have an unfavorable effect on the party's chances in the campaign for President; consequently it is not reasonable to ez- pect that anything definite can or will

Thrend, for Instanee.

If was announced yesterday from
 Pawtucket, R. l., that the annual fnan-
 cial statement of J. & P. Coats Com
 pany, Limited, thread manufacturers. showed a profit for the past year of nearly $15. .6OO, 900. This company, with
 large mills in <Pawtucket, In Central
 Fails. WillimaHtie, Conn. and Newark, N. J., has It's headquarters. and. we believe Is largely owned, at Paisley, Scotland. The annual profit which was announced yesterday, reflects the pros perity of the company, the par value of whose stock is $50 and the market value S6775O. Sewing thread Is be- yond all question the raw material of an immense variety and extent of in dustries The duty upon it at present is cents per dozen spools Of 100 yards each. This and somewhat higher du- lies in the past have succeeded in pro tecting the industry of foreign capital ists established In our own country to inc extent indicated by the figures above given The moral of that pro lection would not have been in the least affected had all the stock been owned i'm the United States. It was tax upon the relatively poor and upon those whose work came into the most stren- ous and desperate competition with baat of multitndss of their own class.

One of the amusing features connect ed with the election of negro judge in Chicago Is the explanation made by Re- publicans that his election was an ac- cident. In order to catch the negro vote of the city they put negro. Bar nett. on the j6dicial ticket. having no Idea that he would be elected. They knew that the negro vote alone could not elect any candidate but thought they would vote the entire ticket be- cause one of them was on 1t. the whites fiattering themselves with the belief tht the white voters would scratch the negro. They evidently refused to scratch, or else they decided that 1t would be good fun to carry out the joke put up by the nominating body. At all events the negro was elected and there are many sore spots among the white Republicans. Serves them right.

THEY DIDN'T SCARE.

Discussing the Arizona election. The New Bedford Standard says:
 Arizona rejected the joint Statehood bill, and we suspect did a good thing for the country. Mr. Roosevelt Is said fo have remarked, with grim smile" innm before the territories of Arizona and Now Mexico would have another chance to come into the Union if they rejected this opportunity to come % to- nlation and voted by g large majority 10 accept the act but Arizona preferred to stay out ok Ine Union @ @ratner than aa.1 If MT. Roosevelt's prediction should prove true, the Union will be none the w9rae ofk. whatever may De the enect upon Arizopa. lt was never quite clear clear SO anxious to have the new State ad- niftted. or why the administration should have made SO strenuous efforts to in- duce the Arizonians to vote for the bill But only about Is per- cent. of them did so, for which exhibition of stubbornness they deserve thanks.
 No doubt swhen Roosevelt uttered that impIiedf threat and emitted that grim smile he reasoned that his words would frighten the people of Arizona into voting for joint Statehood, but they seem not to have been impressed even a little bit by his unwarranted attempt to coerce them. Further, they were not SO thoroughly convinced, as the President assumed to be, that fu- true administrations and Congresses would be as unjust to them as the pres snt has been In short, they refuse to believe that Rooseveltism will dom mate the country forever. As to the administration's reasons they will be quite clear if The Standard will keep the one word-''politics' in mind.

Senator Bracket and ex-Governor o'Deu of New York. do not commonly train in the same crowd. but both agree that the Presidents participation in the New York campaign hurt the Republi- can Party rather than helped it. Bracket protests against Presidential bosses as well as others. OdelI has be- come convinced at this late date that he made a mistake when he held the Gov ernorship and the chairmanship of the state Committee at the same tlme He says the people do not like to have their politics run by officials and that the officials would make themselves more useful to their party if they would do the work the State pays them for.

One Way of Checking Divorce.

 Yes. and Roosevelt and Cannon and their packers foresaw the same result. They saw that if Oklahoma and In- dian Territory were admitted into the Union as two States 1t meant four Dem ocratic Senators and possibly solid Democratic delegation in the lower House That was the main reason for their insistence on joining the two. And they also felt that if Arizona was ad- 1nitted by itself 1t would send two Democrats to the Senate but they hoped by joining It to New Mexico the Re- pubIicans might control the State. Pol itics was at the bottom of the admin Sstratlon's course regarding the whole matter and any one should be able to see 1t.
