Coast Defence Artillery Nay Ba
Made Separate Corps
From The Tribune Bureau-I


COAST DEFENCE-Star officers OF the army
who convinced that the coast defence artillery
should be organized distinct corps wholly
separate from the mobile army. had conference
with the Secretary OF War to-day, and are nuch
encouraged result The likelihood that the
entire coast defence may be transferred to tho
navy. or at least the Jurisdiction OF the Navy
Department also appears to be enhanced Ine
progress which the work Of the coast cerence
artillery has made In the last few years and tho
highly specialized character OF this service render
II practically impossible for department command
ers inteigently TO inspect and supervise the Work
this branch and the advisabiIity Of adopting the
recommendation OF General Murray, chief of arti-
Iery. that the coast defence branch be organized
as a distinct corps IS conceded to be obvious
Moreover. the progress Of the work Of perfectins
the of harbor control and aIlotting to the
navy and the artillery their respective zones OF
control has demonstrated the necessity OF the Ut
most cooperation between the officers OF these
arms OF the service and has led some OF tho
ablest army officers 10 adopt the view that when
completely organized a distinct corps the
efficiency Of the national defence could be promoted
by transferring the coast defence artillery 70 tho
Navy Department and confning the operations
OF the War Department to the mobile army.

TEMPTATIONS TO MONOPOLY.

the amount of tariff to be imposed under the
protective system is properly determined
TEMPTATIONS TO MONOPOLY.
Whenever the tariff imposed is largely in ex-
cess of the differental between the cost OF pro-
duction in the two countries, then there IS
formed at great temptation 10 m"ncpo-

r1roduct and to take advantage OF profit in the

SOME SCHEDULES THOUGHT EXCESSIVE.
In the enormous progress in the manufactur-
ing plants and the improvement IN methods
which have been brought about in the last ten
years in this country, there is the strongest
reason for thinking that in many Industries
the difference between the cost OF production
in this country and abroad has been reduced
This is opinion of mine formed priori be-
cause | am a sincere believer in the efficacy OF
the protective system ultimately to cheaper the
cost of production The opinion has been con-
frn1ed bv conversation with manufacturers anu
others who knew something OF what they speak
CONFIRMATION BY MANUFACTURERS.
/ am not myself a tariff expert and am not
sufficiently familiar with the cost or production
of the various articles covered in the many
schedules to point out the particular ones in
which such a change has taken place. but my
general conclusion formed above finds strik-
ing support in the action of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers In the united states

THE LATEsT wRFCK.

1t is sad New Year in the homes of
the victims of the terrible railroad
tragedy on the outskirts of the nation
al capital. Nineteen hundred and
six, like 1903, made its exit amid the
groans of dying and the sobs of those
whom death had robbed. Just three
years ago occurred the terrible Iro-
quois theater fire in Chicago, and the
year just closed wound UP with one of
the worst disasters of it's kind on rec
ord.
Railroad accidents appear to grow
more and more frequent as the years
go by, and the total of those killed
and wounded in accidents of all kinds
is something appalling. Such dis
asters, especially railway wrecks, are
much more frequent in this country
than in Europe. Is it not time that
heroic measures Of some kind were
taken to prevent these terrible TRACE
dies? Perhaps the proximity of this lag
est horror to Washington may has
ten some sort of action by the govern
ment

LAWYERS AND OTHERS.

1t is alleged that over 75 per cent of
the members of the United States SEN
ate are lawyers. Is this necessary?
Can no one but lawyers map out poll
cies for this government? Can only at
torneys at law make the rules to gov
ern the business and the morals of this
great nation?
OF eight or nine candidates who are
| prominently spoken of in connection
with the election of a United States
senator in Kansas this winter, more
than half are lawyers. With perhaps
three exceptions Kansas has had no
| senators who were not lawyers since the
early days of the state.
1t is to the credit of the lawyers that
so many of them have been elevated to
| this high position by their felIowmen,
| but how would it do for Kansas to be
represented by a man from some other
| line of activity, just to see how 1T
| works?
1t is perhaps natural that there
should be a large percentage of lawyers
in the senate. They naturally drift
into politics. Some of them are men of
great personal magnetism. Others make
records in their profession which bring
them prominently before the people
and make it natural for the people to
choose them as their representatives in
Washington. Still others find them
selves aligned in their practice with
great corporations, and when these cor
porations wish to have United States
senators in Washington whom they can
depend on, they naturally put their
power behind those who are their
friends-and these friends go to the
senate.
So it is not at all strange that the
senate is made up largely of lawyers.
But is it necessary? Would not a man
Of affairs represent Kansas fully as
we'll as a lawyer would?
