GALL NEW ENGLAND
SENATOR'S SELFISH
Men From Other Sections Angry Because Clique From
Northeast Apparently viii Dominate Tariff Re
vision Committee and Frame the Bill

It is charged that New England has
been giving attention TO the Finance
Committee with the view Of getting the
tariff bin shaped up TO suit the inter-
ests of that part Of the United States
Senators Aldrich, Hale, and Lodge form
the most powerful combination in the
Senate and nobody doubts that when
the tariff oil comes out OF committee,
and is reported 20 the Senate, II will
be found New England has been espe-
ctally well looked after.
Bill Doesn't Suit Them.
Various phases OF the House bill do
not suit New England. Senator Hale
is much dispIeased over the reduced
duty on lumber and over the reduction
on wood pulp Senator Galliuger OF
New Hampshire doesn't like the reduc-
ton on lumber. and his State IS opposed
to the inheritance tax
In general, New England wants free
raw materials and Massachusetts is jub-
liant over free hides. But the reduc-
ton OF 40 per cent in the duties on boots
and shoes is not so pleasing.
1t is predicted that the stacking of
the Finance Committee In the interest
OF New England will tend to make the
| fight on the Senate floor more bitter
and more prolonged

SENATORS REJOICE

Taft to Restore Patronage
TO Solons, Is Joyful
Report.

There is great joy about the Senate
wing OF the Capitol because of inforna-
ton that has reached there that Presi-
dent Taft viii respect the wishes OF
Senators in the matter OF making sp-
pOintments.
Not only does Mr.. Taft propose TO let
the Senators exercise heir cOnstitu-
uonaI functions Of giving their advice
and consent In the filing of offices, but
he Is said to intend to go farther than
that and TO restore the ancient order OF
things by permitting the Republican
Senator's 70 control the important pa
trOnage IN their own States.
Naturally. Senators. who for seven
years have been lodging, not always
successfully, the Big Stick, are in high
spirits over the new order. The plan
of Mr. Taft viii dispense with the
State leaders or referees who were much
consulted by President Roosevelt
IL viii restore TO the Senator'S the po-
litical prestige which they had before
the advent OF Roosevelt Even IN Ohio,
this rule will be followed. even though
Mr.. Taft has small political use for
Senator Dick.

Probably many boys during the long winter evenings would be kept off the streets and from undesira- .ble associations if a little more care were taken to make their home life attractive. In many homes. while every care is rightly taken to give the daughters cozy and cheerful rooms in which 1t is a pleasure for them to meet their girl friends, the idea prevails that any kind of a room barely furnished wir do for the boy. The mistake IS male of thinking that boy does not care about these things. The fact is a boy is just as fond of a pleasant room into which he may invite his chums as a girl is, and if he has to put up with Q little cup board of room and stick two of old furniture discarded by other members of the family he feels it and home is just that much less of an attraction. Wise parents will provide their boys with counter at fractions to the demoralizing in- fluences of the streets. and good comfortable room is one of the most effective we know.

The pleas most popular and which are always more or less opportune. are: An allbi, the unwritten law and self-defense. The last is the most popular, being pleaded upon almost all occasions. When this defense cannot be made, the ac- cused falls back either en the un- written law or the alibi, either of which are more or less available.
 There are some remarkable, not to say rediculous, pleas made be- fore the courts in the name of self defense. This hard worked plea is made to do duty under the most astounding and absurd circum- stances. Even when the victim of some bloodthirsty individual is shot in the back, at a great distance from the man with the gun, the accused is found resting his case on the plea of self-defense. Un- der such circumstances the plea is worse than ridiculous. and is made upon the supposition that the av- craze jury does not desire to con- vict, but wants some peg on which to hang a verdict of not guilty. We recall a criminal trial in which the plea of self-defense was relied upon for an acquittal, and it served it's purpose in preventing convict ion. The man killed was shot at distance of seventy-five feet from his adversary, who used a shotgun, firing both barrels. It was proved by reliable and direct testimony that the dead man had both hands raised above his head, begging in a loud voice to be spared, making his appeal direct to the enraged man with the gun. With his hands nigh above his head, pleading eloquently for his life, the man was murdered, the contents of both barrels of the shot gun being fired deliberately into his body.
 The accused, on the advice of his attorneys, relied on the plea of self defense, as he could not plead the unwritten law or an alibi. So we'll did they engineer the case and manipulate the jury that their client escaped conviction. This is by no means an exceptional case, for some just as ridiculous self defence please pleas are heard now and then over the state. They defy all reason and common sense, and defeat the ends of jus tice, and increase the just con- tempt honest people feel for the average criminal court.
 With competent, high-minded and intelligent iuries in the box, the pleas of self-defense should be taken for just what they are worth, no more, no less. A little common sense should be injected into trials,
