The January American Magazine publishes a lecture delivered in Paris by Henry Van Dyke. in which he dis cusses the tariff question at some ieugth and from which the following is taken:
 No one outside of academic circles would call himself an absolute. unmit- igated. and immediate free-trader. But a great many people. probably the majority of the Democratic party, and a considerable number in the Re publican party. say today that many of the protective features of the tariff have not only nourished weak indus tries but have also over-stimulated strong ones and that their continu- ance creates special privileges in the commercial world raises the cost of the necessities of life to the poor man. tends to the promotion of Gigantic trusts and monopolies, and encourages over-production with all it's attendant evils enhanced by an artifciaIly sus- tained market. They ask why a ton of American steel rail should cost twenty-six or twenty-seven dollars here and only twenty dollars in Eur ope-\ They inquire why a citizen of Chicago or St. Louis has to pay more for an American sewing machine or clock than a citizen of Stockholm or Copenhagen pays for the same article. They say that a heavy burden has bwr1AA Az1A4 upul NAl1 GOt1lnOu pSOpiG Dy n system of indirect taxation. adopted for a special purpose. and maintained long, after that purpose has been full filed They claim that for every dol lar which this system yields to the national revenue it adds four or five dollars to the profits of the trusts
 The case of the tariff reformers as against the high tariff men could not easily be given more clearly. Details could be given more freely. but Mir Van Dykes illustrations are applicable to most of the highly protected arti- cles- The people are paying an im- -nense and. in many cases. wholly. un- reeded tribute to the producers who kconsequently accumulate great for |tunes at the expense of the consumers. To the policy which brings such re- suits. the dominant party is fully com mitted. though there are indications that it's progressive or "fnsurgent'' element may eventually force a change

said that since the birth of the baby her husband had been lazy and shift less and neglected her in every way pr. Emery went to her aid. When Mss Emery and her mother left Corte Madeira, where they lived, to go to Washington. where the State law would permit the marriage. they were followed by a hooting mob. Miss Emery had issued a statement declar- ing her love for the Japanese boy. and she was promptly ostracized.

BETTER LABOR
 LAWS NEEDED
PROF. FARNAM OF YALE, PRESI- DENT OF AMERICAN ASSOCIA- TION, DELIVERS ADDRESS.

New York Dec. 29.-Prof. Henry w.
 Farnam. of Yale University. president
 of the American Association for Labor | Legislation, delivered an address at | the annual meeting of the association
 on Labor Legislation and Economic
 Progress"
 | The speaker showed that almost all progress in economic processes in- | wolves some incidental evils which of l ten have to be corrected by laws. The | five clements which are characteris- | tic of a dynamic society as enumerat- ed by Prof. J. B. Clark are: An in- crease in capital, an increase in pop I ulation. changes in the methods of production. changes in the methods of | organizations, changes in consumers
 wants. A study of each of these ele-
 ments with reference to labor problems shows that every one of them has created conditions which require some form of labor legislation Labor leg
 islation must thus be regarded as a
 necessary incident of economic pro- gress. Without 1t, ft is impossible to prevent some injury to the human be- ings for whose sake economic progress exists. and on whose efficiency its con tinuance depends.
 This conception of labor legislation
 if it could be generally entertained and lived up to, would lead te important
 practical results
 l. Labor legislation would be less in
 quantity and better in quality. 2. It would. on the whole, be more prompt.
 B. IL would be more uniform.
 1. It would be less frequently the
 expression of class feeling. as many
 bills which at first appear to be drawn
 for certain classes are in reality for
 the benefit of the race as a whole. 5. It would be more consistent, be-
 cause. in adapting it to changes in economic conditions. we should be forced to think more of our economic ideals. The economic ideal of the Uni ted States is concisely expressed in
 the preamble of the federal constitu- tion. which states that one of its pur- poses is to secure '-the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posteri- ty." This means liberty so regulat- ed as to bring blessings both for pres
 ent and future generations. It means that the very prohibitions of labor legislation are made in the interests
 of real liberty, just as the traffic reg
 ulations of a great city while occa-
 sionally restraining an individual driv-
 CT. in the end. secure a freer circula-
 tion of the traffic as a whole

DECIDED ON SUICIDE
PRISONER IN WRECKED SEY- MoUR CAR NEARLY ENDED LIFE BEFORE RESCUE.

Ans1ng tthe passengers who fwfere caught in the trolley car which went down the embankment at Seymour Sunday morning were Mir. and Mrs. Charles Madison of Beacon, Falls and Miss Alvida Peterson of 4Is West Main street, Waterbury. Both Mrs. Madison and Miss Peterson were in a serious condition and could not tell about their story as it was feared 1t would affect them too much MT. Madison in telling of his experience states that when the car plunged down the bank he and his wife with Miss Peter son were standing near the front of the car. They were quickly submerg- ed in icy water and for a short time he thought there was no escape. Feel ing this and fearing a slow death he determined to commit suicide and tried to end his life by swallowing water in big mouthfuls. This gave him a terrible sensation but just be- fore he succeeded in finding death this way he saw a chance to escape and the three managed to save themselves by use of the straps hanging along the side of the car. Besides these three, two foreigners were the only otEer occupants of the car.

LAND INSURANCE.


Title Guaranty is new business
in Texas, but is destined to grow in i'm
portance and keep pace with the won
derful development of this great state.
1t gives absolute protection to the land
buyer, owner, lender and Spectator,
and secures him against loss from an
attack on the title to the land from
whatsoever source.
People have their lives insured for
the support of those dependent upon
them after they have passed away;
or for their own maintenance in their
old age; and they have their houses,
ships and goods insured to indemnify
them in case such property is destroy
ed or damaged by fire; and these rea-
sons apply with equal force to the in
surance or guaranty of the title to
land and it is just as important to
have the title to land insured or in
other words guaranteed, as it is to in
sure house against loss or damage by
fire.
1t is no more improbable that the
title to land will be attacked than
that a house will catch on fire Land
in Texas is daily increasing in value,
and the more valuable it becomes,
the more vital become the reasons
why the titles should be guaranteed by
a first-class up-to-date guaranty com
pany.
A man may feel perfectly secure in
his title to his land, and his. sense of
security may be we'll founded, but
this man is often astounded by suit
against him for this land to which he
felt so secure and awakes to the fact
that in respect of land titles in Texas,
it is always the most impossible thing
that is most probable to happen.
A title guaranty is an obligation
whereby the guaranty company binds
itself to defend all suits involving the
title to the land guaranteed at it's own
cost and expense, and in case of the
loss of the land by the guaranteed
the company will pay him the amount
of money called for in the certificate
of o,,arontxy
