Training For Trades.

lndlanapoiS star.
 commendable feature of MT. Van derlip's talk on technical education is
 the knowledge of and consideration
 for the better purposes of organized labor In relation to this important sub 1ect. He is quite right in laying stress
 npon the objection of labor leaders to imperfect Knowledge and equipment on
 the part of half-prepared graduates of
 technical schools, and the thinks that
 this objection should be met by thor
 ough training in the schools instead of
 "a smattering of preparation" The
 most enlightened labor leader, how
 ever. as MT Vanderlip intimates, are alive to the insufhciency of the appren-
 tice system to meet the demands of the
 skilled trades and they look with favor
 upon technical education that really
 educates Thls Is notably true in In
 dianapolis, for the Winona Institute
 and Superintendent Whittaker's edu-
 catlve efforts at the 1effersonvilfe Re
 formatory are approved and assisted,
 we understand by numbers of union leaders. The soundness of technical education in properly equipped insti-
 tutions Is now universally acknowledge od hV thinking men, both within the
 unions and without. The popularity of manual training Is based upon the | understanding of the good 1t does, not | only in specific information for me ehanical pursuits, but also in develop Ing manual dextertty and an all-around l nhYsiCal boise and alertness that older form ot education neglected.

And 1t can be said definitely that at any time it served the economic interests of France and England the war would have stopped as In fact it did.

A Strange oath.

A traveller who has juust finished a two-year trip around the world was asked what was the most curious thing that had come under his observation. After considering for few moments he surprised his hearers by saying that perhaps the judicial oath in the Isle of Man was about as odd as anything else. The oath runs: By this book and theholy contents thereof and by the wonderful works that God hath miraculously wrought in heaven above and in the earth beneath in six days and seven nights do swear that will without respect of favor or friendship love or gain. oonsanguinity or affinity envy or malice. execute the laws of this isle justly between our soverigr lord the king and his subjects within this Isle. betwixe party and party. as ipdiherently as the herring's backbone doth lie in the midst of the fish.

the consumers in the islands: that to reimburse the importers at this time would be in effect comforting bounty, as these importers have already been paid in the increased cost of these goods to the inhabitants of the Philip pines. This is essentially true, but what becomes of the immemorial argu- nent of the Republican protectionist that the foreigner. and not the con- sumer, pays the custom house tolls?
 Of all the monstrous perversion of facts that are part of the protection ist failacy, that is the most monstrons that seeks to make the people believe fheir tariff taxes are paid by the for eigners If this were true. how easy and make them pay sufficient amount to run the national government?
 In Senator Spooner's bill we have a public admission. not unlikely to go on the statute book, that the Repub- lican party has been defuding the sup porters; that the Democratic conten- tion Is sound and the consumer does pay the tariff tax, We hope some Sen ator or Representative will see to it that this admission of Senator Spoon CT appears in the Congressional Record. It should be printed In way that 1t could be used in debate in the coming campaign.
 There is no occasion now to comment on the extraordinary character of the bill itself. It's effort to make lawful something the supreme court has twice decided to have been unlawful.

spxAToR spooNER,s CONFESSION.

The administration is making most determined effort to retain tho duties exacted in the Philippines by executive order and before tho islands were form ally taken over by the United States. The Supreme Court has held in two test eases. involving about $7oo00 that the duties were unlawfully levied. There are supposed to be something like fif- teen millions of dollars involved in all, and Secretary Taft has fought hard to keen hold of this money. Defeated in the courts. he has turned to Congress. and Senator spooner has introduced a bill validating the levy except as to the two cases already passed upon by the Supreme Court.
 The bill is largely made up of re- cital by the use of "whereases" of the history of the collection of the duties and the remarkable thing about this recital is the open confession that the consumer pays the tax. Senator Spoon CT in hls bill gives us reason why repayment should not be made that the duties as levied and collected were in tbAir turn levied and collected upon

Jnpnn,n Population.

Tn strong contrast with the uncer- tainty about the population of China is the exactness of the figures given for the population of Japan in the Japan csc blue book for 1905. which has been printed in English by the Japanese Government. The population of the is- lands constituting Japan proper Is 47,- s1a70 and that of the island of For mosa 3,059,2S5. Japan comprises 100 main islands and nearly 300 small Is- lands. making the name Island Elm pire" peculiarly appropriate. The to- tai area of these islands Is about 161,00C square miles. It Is noted that there is a close approximation to equality fir the division of the population between the two sexes.

DEFENDING THE SNAKES.

Noting the avowed determination of Iohn D. Rockefeller to externinate the snakes from Pocantico Hills. The New york Mail is inclined to say word for the snakes. It admits that some of them are bad citizens, to which no mercy should be shown. and then all most drops into poetry. as follows;
 put the little grass snake a ray of right green living light upon the earth: the pufing adder, the comedian of his race. who blows and puns ana aoes no more. and cannot bite or stlng fSe swift black snake. before whom the .lttler often fees--what have they Ter done to Mir. Rockefeller that he aouId persecute them? Absolutely othing. They hold their right to ex- stence by a title unc1ouded by tyranny and robbery.
 That Is all very nice. hut we once heard an old countryman remark: snakes is snakes; kill 'em all" and that is about the view that most peo- pJe take of them. IL is true that some of them are harmless. and 1t is also true that several varieties live on mice and other small cattle. It is also not to be doubted that some snakes are really handsome in color and in their motions, such as the green snake and a few others, though we don't put adders among the good lockers. They are very much the reverse of beautiful
 But however we may think of them in the abstract. and however much some peculiarly constituted people like to play with them and fondle them most people will continue to look on them with abhorrence. whether 1t is because of the distaste for snakes that comes down to us from Eve, or wheth- CT because most people are not able tc differentiate between the bad and tho good ones, we cannot say. but the an tipathy is with us and part of-us. Int average human who sees a snake com ing towards him never stops to inquire whether 1t is a bad or good one; If h; has nothing to defend himself with h' skips out and gives his snakeship thu road Snakes is snakes" with mos people and no amount of soft soapinl them will make anything else of them
 If we come down to actual facts ther' are but few poisonous snakes ir thu country. In India and other torrid re gions of the earth there are some O the most deadly kinds known. but her' there are but few really dangerou ones. For all that. few persons ar' sure of the harmless or the dangerous varieties. so they are suspicious of all It is a subject on which the uniform ed may easily be mistaken. and thu safest plan is to take no chances Lik' an unloaded gun, a snake may so of and do damage when least expected. ant most of US like them best at a distance
