Roaring Political Farce


 As long as the roaring political farce called protection Is played with labor as fthe ingenue and the foreign man. ufacturers as the heavy villain, and his American rival as the hero, Congress will continue to revise the tariff the same way a go-between of grafters distributes money purely on grounds of expediency. Those industrial forces which can do most politically for the party and the persons doing the reyis. ing will get the most protection. The logic of economies In the situation has nothing to do with the case, Protec- tion exists now on false pretense.

wAsH1NeroN's NEW CODE.
Many Complications Surely to Arise
Over New Laws.

Advocates of anarchy, defined as a
doctrine that organized government
should be overthrow by force of VIC.
lenee or the assassination of the execu,
tive head or any of the executive Off.
cials of government or by any unlaw-
full means, must carefully edit their
mouth-flling phrases for public utter
ances in the state of Washington, if
they desire to keep clear of prison
cells. The new criminal code, now in
operation, designates the espousal of
the doctrine felony, punishable by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for
any period up to 10 years.
There are numerous important
changes in the law, including the abol.
ton of the compulsory death sentence
for murder in the first degree and
giving the court discretionary power
to sentence to Imprisonment for life
There is also the establishment of a
new degree of crimes known as gross
misdemeanors, which includes "graft.
ing" punishable by Imprisonment in
the county Jail for not more than a
year or a fine up to $1,000 or both.
Insanity is no defense in criminal
cases; but it is provided that when, in
the judgment of the court, any person
convicted shall have been insane, an
idiot or an imbecile at the time of the
commission of the act, he may be com
mitted to a hospital for the insane or
to the insane ward of the penitentiary
until he has recovered.
The code forbids Chipping" and
having possession of cigarettes or
papers, and, though it is specified that
"every provision shall be construed
according to the fair import of its
terms, - the foremost criminal lawyers
in the state declare it will cause much
confusion and in numerous instances
it will compel good citizens to become
lawbreakers.

PRESIDENT TAFT GETS A s.r1P
How to Make Interstate Commerce I,av
Just

Attorney H. NJ. Stephens, represent
ing shippers of interior cities. accom-
panied by Senator Jones and Repre
sentative Poindexter, had five minnie
talk with President Taft recently. and
MT stephens presented suggestions rel
alive to amendments to the interstate
commerce law.
President Taft listened attentivelv r.
Mr. Stephens, and at the conclusion of
his remarks said it would greatly please
nm to have the entire subject presented
at greater length in November.
Briefly, Mr.. Stephens argument
would be to put the shipper on par
with railroad companies in their given
right of appeal to circuit courts over
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission affecting rates.
AS the law now stands railroad com.
panies can go into the courts of the
United States and ask for an iniupc.
ton against orders of the commission.
The shipper is denied this right. In
it is contended there can he
no possible difference between shipper
and common carrier, and it is to mi
poth upon square and equal basis
That Stephens contends.

MORE GEM SMUGGLING.
Il the Duty BE Raised That IL whae
IL Expected by Importers.

Il the Duty BE Raised That Is what
IL Expected by Importers.
That diamonds and pearls will be
imuggled into this country to an enor-
nous extent If the duties should be in
creased is the contention Of the Maiden
Lane gem importers. according to the
New York World. A committee has
been organized In the jewel district,
with Alfred Krower as the chairman,
which will send representatives to
washington In an effort to keep down
The duties.
Even now, when the duty ON cut
stones and pearls is only 10 per cent,
authorities In the trade estimate that
The quantity of gems smuggled into the
country is not less than 10 per cent
Of the amount that goes through the
custom house
The argument for higher diamond
iuties is that, while this country BUYS
more than go per cent of the worlds
output, less than 500 men are employed
here In cutting and polishing, while.
N Antwerp and Amsterdam the dla-
nond factories employ upward of
$4,000 men. 1t is hoped by some the
supremacy of these great diamond CEN
;ers may be transferred to New York
and that an increase in the tariff may
sid in bringing this about.
The stones in the rough are adj
nitted free and the present duty of 10
per cent on the cut stones Is about
equal to the difference in the cost of
this kind Of labor here and abroad, It
Is said. The big manufacturers figure
that If the duty went above 10 per
cent they would then begin to. COM
pete chiefly with smuggled stones, be-
cause the additional gain made pos
'lble by higher duties would tempt
many to engage In the clandestins
trade. This was the case, they say,
rom 1894 to 1897, when the govern
ments reports indicated a slump In dia~
mond imports.
The pearl importers are also calling

country to oppose the pearl paragraph
Of the Payne bill Under the present

Mr.. Roosevelt's Alleged Exploits.

There is reason to believe that Mr..
Roosevelt is in Africa carrying out in
a general way the program which was
announced before he departed with his
scientific associates. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that no intelligent American
reader will for moment suppose that
we are having authentic reports from
day to day of Mr.. Roosevelt s move.
ments and adventures. There was just
one thing that Mr.. Roosevelt asked of
the American press before his depart
ure, and that was that he be allowed
as a private citizen to proceed with his
African plans without being followed
spied upon or reported. All newspaper
men know that the lurid tales which
have been daily served up-and which
have chronicled with much detail the
Strengthening of countless lions, tigers
rhinos, hippos and other beasts, of both
sexes and all ages-are sheer inven-
