FREE FIGHT AT PROSPECT
HIGHTS WEDNESDAY NIGHT

A free-for-all fight Is reported to
have taken place In one Of the saloons
in Prospect Hights Wednesday night
and several of the participants more
or less injured. In the mix-up Harry
Bryant was stabbed two or three
times and had to be taken to the hos
pital for repairs. Bryants condition
was at first thought to be serious. but
he was able to leave the hospital this
morning. The trouble grew aut OF q

men in the saloon while drinking.

convict. With such apparently ire
putable evidence pointing to the dis
grace of Its editor. the Union Labor
News made no reference, as 1t was
realized that denial of it's truth would
be worse than useless under the cir

Of his innocence, but without means

Mr.. Lynch, perhaps, did not keep his
counsel as we'll as he should have

STREET ADVERTISING.

The agitation for the abatement of the sky
sign and billboard nuisance is timely. and we
hone that it will produce practical results. The
Tribune has long advocated restriction of the
right of property owners to turn our thorough
fares into private advertising lanes. The owner
Of n building a vacant lot has 4 direct re-
sponsibity 10 the municipality in this matter,
for he receives a revenue from his lease of sign
space which depends entirely on the usefulness
of that space in forcing welcome unwelcOme
advertising literature on the attention of pass
ersby The advertiser pays for Il right to dom
mate the streets, and the franchise he enjoys
is in that sense public, not private.
1t lies with the city to regulate street adver-
Using of all sorts, and both from an aesthetic
and from a public service point of view that
regulation should be intelligent and thorough.
Many of our street placards are disfiguring and
unsightly. 1t is annoying. for instance. to find
thOrOughfare like upper Broadway lined on both
sides for many blocks with fiaring advertisements
Public taste and comfort should be consulted in
the licensing of such displays. We do not favor
a prohibition of all street placarding for that
perhaps, would run too sharply counter to our
present customs and our ideas of individual priv
iege But we think the abuse could be made to
correct itself within few years if the state
would authorize the laying Of a graduated tax
on street signs, the tax increasing with the
squarearea covered. The government would either
make a considerable revenue out of such n tax
or the increased cost Of posters would compel
change in present methods To artistic modest
and sensible advertising there can be no Objec-
tiOn. But we owe it to our sense Of municipal
good order ana dignity to blot out the eXtrava-
CANT and tasteless poster spread unfortunately
over fences and walls We have much TO learn
from the wise practice of European cities in
dealing with the street advertising problem.

sTRAITy4CKET MORALITY.

The word education" means literally a lead
ing out. PhilOlogstS once supposed that this
was To be construed as an unfolding of the
powers of the mind; but no less eminent an au-
thority than the Century Dictionary deems that
TO be erroneous In recent speech Chancellor
Day, of Syracuse, has cleared away all phllO
logical ambiguity by showing how the word 'edu-
cation" is used in the institution over which he
presides. That centre of learning educates by
suppression it LEADS out by the scruff OF the
neck" every candidate for admission and shakes
him down thoroughly in search OF a stray Gig
arctic paper or beer check and also "drags out
by the heels every youth who. after having
treacherously gained admission, dares to smoke
chew, swear, "rOugh-house' or visit theatres
This procedure, be 1t said. is unwrltten law; hut
it seems 10 work none the less successfully for
all that
There is a difference OF opinion between the
Iron Chancellor OF Syracuse and some other ex-
perts on moral education. During the wart and
pigtal period morality may well be inculcated
through the rapidly agitated end Of slipper or
by means of enforced Punishment from the din
ner table. And even well into the short trousers
epoch, while the Voice OF Reason still speaks an
unIntelllgible tongue parental tyranny is bene-
fetal. But II commonly loses It's virtue as a
moral force as soon as young people begin 70
think for themselves. And what Is true Of home
training is d0ubly true Of school education. To
be sure, there will always be frail minded youths
who must wear straitjackets till late in life In
order 10 support their wabbly wits. and kind
persons might we'll endOw at least one educa-
tlona institution devoted TO the ungrateful task
of bringing up such jellyish. But we doubt tho
wisdom Of Chancellor Days demand that all our
colleges be turned into infrmaries.
There are two classes of people, however who
may welcome the chancellor's programme: First
those whose own III bred children have demon
strated to them their parental ncompetency, and
who. having let their offspring grow up like
weeds, will perhaps he glad to find moral en-
thusisst willing 10 declare himself responsible
for their education" second those who cherish
n belief that strict rules against smoking and
theatregoing give n high moral tone TO college
instead Of producing n large preponderance of
"sissies' and juvenile desperadoes The former
may tell the chancellor that they like their nur-
series; the latter. If they were frank would
cOnfide to him that their fathers had shipped
them 10 these refOrmatories TO get rid of them

BRITIsH COLoNLAL TARLrES-

1t is difficult 10 resist recalling again Mr..
Cobdens maadrot prophecy that ms surely rs
the sun would rise next morning the whole
world would presently be converted To free trade
4 sufficient comment upon 1t Is seen at this
time in the great British Colonial Conference in
which The prime ministers Of all the lf-g0vern-
ing colonies are gathered. Not one of those col
Onies practises free trade. On the contrary,
despite the example of the mother country, every
one of them practises the protection which Mr.
Golden abhOrred, and at least two or three of the
foremost OF them earnestly wish the mother
country also to adopt it in its most abhorrent
fOrm-to wit. reciprocity. 1t may we'll be asked
II England has not been able TO bring up her own
children in the way Of free trade what hope
can there be of converting the rest Of the world
thereto?
The attitude Of the colonies on this subject IL
not, indeed, of the entire conference can scarcely
be welcome to the present British government,
which was specifically elected on platform Of
aggressive free trade and of unrelenting opposl-
ton To all forms of protection. and especially to
the preferential form proposed by Mr.. Chamber
lain and favored by some Of the chief colonies
As matter of fact the whole colonial conference
business must seem much like an invention of
the enemy. The first such gathering, in April
1887, was called together by Mr.. Edward Stan
hope, while the second and third. IN 1897 and
1902, were of Mr.. Chamberlain's creation, and
were largely intended for the promotion Of those
principles of imperial finance and commerce with
which he is identified. The present govern
ment, opposed to all such things, could doubtless
find much practical profit in the conference IL
tariff matters were left out. But the possibility
OF such omission seems scarcely better than that
of excluding the disarmament question from
The Hague.
That the colonies will be able TO convert Great
Britain to their views is not, however, suppos-
able. Not even the most Ranguine of them ex-
poets it, What is to he looked for with inter
est is to see whether there will be any further
extension of colonial favors to the mother coun-
try while the latter declines to reciprocate
Canada will probably continue her preferential
policy, with which she Is understood to be salts
