MEMORY AND IHAGIYATIOy.

Ever since the days Of Horace and probabl
longer, the ''praiser Of times past has amused
and irritated his contemporaries This inter
estng species displays two traits on which
every amateur student of human nature loves
10 dwell, because Of their great power and
persistence; he who chOrtles over the good
Old days usually lets imagined pains hurt
him less than real ones, and also adds 4
glamour to remembered things which they
didsnOt originally possess. Both of these mental
traits are blessings in disguise for if men
remembered everything as il really bapDoned
and kept IN mind all past msfortunes as well
as pieces of good luck, life would he much
drearer than it is At the same time these
tricks of mind have their disadvantages to the
historian, as may be seen from this recent dec
laration of Chancellor Day of Syracuse Uni

THE HOST FAVORED NATION"

The desire of Great Britain to secure for
herself from the United States the same COM
mercial advantages which Germany has
cured under The arrangement just made is
entirely natural, reasonable and we may
add, commendable As Great Britain and
Germany are in = large measure industrial
and commercial competitors it WOULD be par
ucularly unpleasant to one of them TO be de-
Barred from privileges enjoyed by the other.
IA general sense, moreover, it is unpleasant
So any nation 10 be less favorably treated
than aLother, 50 that every one endeavors to
secure frtm every other a treaty stipulation
that it viii receive in all things the same
treatment rs that given TO the most favored
nation The British Foreign Minister is re-
ported as saving that negotiations are in
progress as Il result OF which it is hoped that
that country viii share the advantages which
Germany has secured 1t will be agreeable TO

fected, provided a proper basis for it can be
found and suitable terms can be arranged.
Equal terms % all nations is well estab-
lished American policy. its necessary compile
ment being, Of course, equal terms from all
nations
And this suggests what is really the crux
Of international relationships in general. John
Hays reference 10 the Golden Rule as a cor
nerstone Of American foreign policy was not
inappropriate or untrue. But different ma
tons desire different treatment from Others
and thus under that very rule treat others diff
ferently. The ideal of universal uniformity and
concord is noble one. But the fact is that
such uniformity does not exist One nation
has a revenue tariff and another has a pro-
tective tariff. One has a scheme of discrim-
mating rates and another has not One In
clnes 10 reciprocity and another eschews it,
One has chambers Of commerce invested with
official power and responsibility and an
other has not How is it possible to treat
them all alike? 1t is only in like circum-
stances that like courses of action can be

tariff concessions in return for corresponding
concessions from a nation which practises
reciprocity, but it cannot make those conces-
sions to another which refuses reciprocity and
which. therefore declines TO make any CORE
spending concessions.
These circumstances which should be quite
obvious to all observers, indicate one of the
fundamental difficulties in the way of any
such world union" as that of which some
have dreamed. Golden imagined that in Il
few years all nations would adopt free trade
and the world would be on a basis of COM
mercial and fiscal uniformity. lie mis-
taken, and the progress of time emphasizes
the magnitude of his mistake and the folly Of

nation treatment would cease to be what it
is If it were given indiscriminately to all.

secured for them and at what wages, and what
fees were charged or commissions collected
The offices and these records are to be open TO
police inspection at all times and must be
thoroughly inspected by the police at least six
times q year For any evasion of the provisions
of the law, for fraud or extOrtion practised
upon seekers for work, heavy penalties are pro-
vided in addition to revocation of license
Faithful enforcement of this law should give
ample protection to those seeking work. Per
haps too, it will make the agencies little
less unsatisfactory to those seeking help, though
we cannot venture at present TO be confident
of that. The lot of the housekeeper in quest
of servants is not happy one, and it shows
little If any, indication Of becoming less IN
happy. There are those who insist that there
are enough good houseworkers in the land to
supply the demand, If only those who need them
could find them. 1t may be so. If 1t is, an
agency which should find them and bring them
into contact with those who need their ser
vices would be just about the most welcome
harbinger of the millennium which 1t is pos
sbe to conceive.

CLOTHES mAKE TIE nv.

The tailor has broken into the select circle
of High Finance. Thanks TO a new ruling OF
the courts he is in position 70 adver-
tise that he can make" any man or break any
fortune for n reasonable comm sSlon For II
has just been decided by learned Judges that
women have n perfect right 10 trail their
skirts whenever and wherever they choose To.
and that those who while exercising that right
in pas>ageway, stumble and iniure them
selves, may recover damages from the owner
Of said passageway \ Harlem woman has Just
received $1,000 for having tumbled down stars
while carrying basket of clothes although the
landlord from whom she gets this neat little
sum AYERS that she did not exercise due pre-
caution by holding 10 the banistcr rail or ut
least lifting her skirt off the stairs. The Judges
concluded that the fair plaintiff, being CARRIED
in the fashion of the day could not be held
guilty Of negligence if she did not choose to
raise her dragging skirt from the floor thereby
preventing the garment from changing her
feet In awarding the damages, the court has
put everybody into the power of his tailor.
The gist of the matter seems to be this: What
ever is made conventional garment may be
worn without contrbutory negligence" which
is to say that the woes caused Indirectly by the
garment will be legally charged 10 something
else, such as the sidewalk over which the Wearer
passes Doubtless the learned aud diplomatic
judges thought this was safe and convenient
rule to follow, but they seem 20 have overlooked
the dreadful possibilities of conventional cloth
ing ana the power ii places in the hands of the
captains OF saTtOriHl industry The tailors make
ana break fashions and they can therefore
make and break the fortunes OF men; for it Is
absurdly easy, under the new ruling, to throw
in a verdict for damages with every rcadymHdc
suit provided that suit possess two properties
-cOnvCntiOnality and the power to trip its
wearer at the slightest prOvOcaton. Any taiIor's
apprentice can make a pair of trousers possess
ing this last property; and with the possibility
of getting rich quickly by wearing such clothes,
the public will swiftly and gratefully cooperate
with the shearsandneedlc artists In making
all the many remunerative styles both popular
and conventional. 1t no longer takes nine
tailors to make" a man. unless the man insists
upon getting into the Millionaire class With a

As no EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.

That is a commendabe step which has just
been taken in New Jersey in the enactment Of
a law for the licensing and strict supervision
of employment agencies, especially of those
which deal in domestic help. There has long
been need of such law, though perhaps not
more in New Jersey than elsewhere 1t is no.
t0rious that some so-called employment agen-
cies have in fact been mere panderers to vice
and crime, inveigling unsuspecting young
women into immoral resorts, and that others
have swindled those applying for employment
by eXtortng from them large registry fees and
then making no efforts to secure places for
them, or sending them to places where they
We're certain not TO be retained.
The new law is intended to stop all these
abuses, as they certainly should be stopped. 1t
requires every keeper of an employment agency
to secure license. which will be granted only
on satisfactory proof of good moral character,
and which must be renewed with similar proofs
of character at the beginning of each new year
detailed record must be kept of all appli-
cants for work, when and where places were

A high school i'm Ocean Grove claims to be the
first In New Jersey to have its graduating class
arrayed In caps and gowns. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped it's claim is valid and that it is the
first and viii be the last and only one, in that
any other state, to do so tasteless and sense
less a thing. If cap and gown have any Sig
ni1cance which makes them worth the wearing,
it is that their wearers have received or are
candidates in course for the baccalaureate or
other degree. For high school boys and girls to
assume such toggery is even worse than for
