A Denver man engaged a detective to

She then married the detective, and the
couple are said to be very happy.
The dean of the Massachusetts bar is
Hon. Jonathan White of Brockton. He
took his usual daily walk on his S9th birth

he said, I'VE dealt with the written rather
than the unwritten law, and there was
none of this brainstorm business"
Al last an effective way 10 DIedk up
charivari parties has been discovered. The

and scramble for the coin. Marrying
couples in rural districts will take note.

mutual protection against Japanese ag-
erosion in the Pacific. There is abso-
lutely no general sentiment in the
United States for such an alliance with
China or any other foreign country.
Even II there were danger of a war
between this country and Japan, which
there is not, no one has undertaken to
explain how an alliance with China
would help the United States. The pro-
posed alliance would simply add new
duties to this country i'm Asia without
proving of any help nearer home.
The attitude of the, United States in
China is plain. We are in a way
pledged to maintain the integrity of
the Chinese empire and prevent its ex-
ploitation by those who have been how
ering like %vultures near the empire for
generations. This part of our duty in
Asia can be discharged without enter
ing into partnership with China or any
other power. Americas prestige abroad
is largely due to the result of dealing
with all without discrimination and
avoiding "~entangling alliances. No
benefits offered by an alliance with
China would pay for the loss of this
prestige.

M DEAR PARRY

My Dear P~arry''>is the beginning
of a letter written by Vice Presidential
Candidate Kern n just given out to
the public prints in connection with its
answer. The letter to my Dear
Parry relates to alleged intimidation
of employees by employers and the an
swer sidesteps to the question of tariff
revision, but that is neither here nor
there. MY Dear Parry" shows the
chummy relations existing between
Mr.. Bryan's running mate and the
former head of the Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, who was placarded in every
trades union in the country as the
most open and odious enemy of organ-
lied labor.
my Dear Parry is supposed to be
a republican, but even so, he is so
close to Kern that he is willing to ad-
NIT that 'as for Mr.. Kern's possible
election being a menace to business it
is positively absurd" And so long as
Kern is hooked up with Bryan with a
chance to become president in case Of
a mishap to his chief, my Dear
Parry" is not even afraid of Bryan's
occupancy of the White House and is
confident that Mr.. Parry will at least
be closer to the throne than Mr.. Com
pers.
The my Dear Parry letter ought
to open the yes of the real friends Of
union labor to the bunco game that the
democrats are trying to play in order
to lure the labor vote to Bryan and
Kern. 1t is not out of any sincere be-
lief in the injunction planks that they
were inserted in the Denver platform,
but simply as a bait for votes and the
familiarity with which Mr.. Kern ad-
dresses MY Dear Parry" proves that
the democratic candidates are eager
to. keep in close touch with the very
men who have been fighting the labor
unions. the hardest. 1t is votes that
MIR. Kern wants for himself and Bryan
and he thinks he can fool the Parry
ties and the unionists at the same time.

Trusts and Trust Busting.

Bhlladelphia Ledger.
Ill fortune has attended Mr.. James
Kerr's laudable desire to liberate the
democrats of Pennsylvania from corpora
tion influence and to lead them in the
great battle against predatory wealth ever
since the Bryan steam roller at Denver
crushed out Colonel Guffey and put Mr..
Kerr in his place. Guffey's offense. in the
Bryanite mind, was in his friendly rela-
tions with corporations and trusts, which
disqualified him for the councils of a trust
breaking candidate. The inopportune re-
ownership for the Pennsylvania Coal and
Coke company draws painful attention to
the fact that Mr.. Kerr is not merely as
ISOLATED with trusts, but is himself the
head Of a trust of particularly obnoxious
character. II there is any octopus more
abhorrent than another it is a coal trust.
1t is in that form that Kerr is now re-
vealed.

BRfTAIS's NEW PATENT LAW.


Under a new law just effective in
Great Britain, foreign patents in that
country may be revoked unless the pat
ented article is manufactured or the
patented process operated in the United
Kingdom to an adequate extent. The
first effect of the law has beer to start
new factories in the United Kingdom
to manufacture. goods heretofore man
ufactured elsewhere and sold in Great
Britain. English financiers estimate
that the operation of the new law will
compel the investment of at least
$125, 900, 900 in Great Britain by for
eign manufacturers of patented articles
who want to protect their rights. 1t is
estimated that no less than 5000 pat
ents granted to foreigners will be af-
fected by the new law.
The British position on the subject
of patents threatens something of a
revolution in the manufacturing bust
ness. Holders of patents taken out in
! other countries declare that the new
law is an unjust discrimination and
was framed for the selfish promotion
of industrial enterprises in Great Brit
ain and is in violation of every prin-
ciple of the international patent laws
and agreements. United States Com
missioner of Patents Moore predicts
that a majority of the countries be-
longing to the International Patent
union will enter a protest against the
British law and recommend to the Of
fetal congress to be held next year in
Washington a retaliatory combination.
whereby Great Britain must either be
come a party to their agreement or be
excluded from it's benefits.

NO HINES ALLIANCE.

Mir, Taft's assertion that there could
be no alliance of the offensive and de-
fensive sort between the United States
and China has been strengthened by
a statement from President Roosevelt,
after a conference at Oyster Bay with
the president of an American college
in China, to the effect that the matter
has never been considered by the ad-
ministration. President Richards of the
American college at Wu-chang, China,
is reported to have declared that there
is absolutely no sentiment in China in
favor of It,"
This authoritative and direct state
ment from the president and the next
president should be sufficient TO end
the agitation started by a New York
paper for an alliance with China for

The American Bar association, in session
at Seattle, has adopted an elaborate code Of

our lawyers would be stricter moralists
than our clergy. That Is too much to ex-
pect, but II a serious effort were made by

visions of the code the standing of the pro-

laymen there is q strong impression that
lawyers form a sort of guild and, like the

atoms are jealous in the disagreeable task
Of pressing for the disbarment of shystors
and of those who. however great their at
tsinments, are tricky end even downright
dishonest. In this city, for example, the
evidence against a lawyer must be over
whelming before his brother lawyers will
move against him. We cannot forget that
Justice Deuel. is still an honored member
Of the confraternlty. Lawyers will freely
tell you in private conversation that every
body knows Smith or Jones to be a thor
ough rascal, but in general the grievance
committee must be prodded long and vigor-
ously before they will act. One reason
is that some of the sblest, the most sue
c~essful, and the most influential lawyers
are themselves wholly unprinclpled. 1t is
| their chief business to tell wealthy clients
! how to keep the law in the letter and break

powers in finance and politics that to OPP
pose them or bring them to book is haz-
ardous business. But IL is well TO have the

Best Type of Lawyer.
Chicago Tribune.

SilCdEO 1IlDunes
Wade H.. Ellis, the attorney general of
Ohio, a vigilant and untiring public Of
fetal, has been removed to a broader field
of usefulness. He has been appointed as
sistant to the attorney general of the
United States. Mr.. Ellis is a type of the
new, vigorous sort of lawyer who is de-
voting himself to the activities of public
life and who prefers to gain eminence in
his profession while serving the people
rather than serving individual clients. 1t
is indeed refreshing to observe the emer-
gence here and there of public-splrited
lawyers of the kind the country used to
have. Such men as Mr.. Ellis, who de-
vote themselves to the enforcement Of the
laws, do not reap the rich pecuniary re-
wards enjoyed by those able members of
the legal profession who instruct their
clients in the art Of evading laws, but
they will gain a more enduring fame.

I care very little about this matter. l

Mr.. Bryan. As a newspaper man, l have
been trained to remember events. As a
politician, Mr.. Bryan has been trained to
forget them, and to hope that others will
forget them, in every case wherein they
carry peril.
Also. at the time Mr.. Bryan-for an ex-
confederate reason-behaved so cautiously,
you are not to forget that the frontiers
OF his ambitions, and per incident his
hopes and fears, were the boundaries OF
that district along the Platte" The presi-
dency was an after thought-long after.
