"Oh. my, no!' broke in the demon

Law and Protection.

Mr.. Editor: 1t would naturally ap-
pear that the people of the United
States ought not to complain of pres
ent conditions. on account of the abb
sence or lack of law, seeing that out
Of 4SS members of our national legis-
lature there are 327 lawyers in both
houses, a clear majority of 156. The
Earl of Chatham once said, Show me
the laws of country, and I will show
you the condition of it's people," Of
course this would depend on the kind
of laws, whether good or bad. 1t
would be natural to suppose that with
such an array of talent making our
laws, there ought not to be any bad
laws. But is there such a thing as bad
laws? First, let US ascertain what
law is. Sir Edward Coke says: THAT
nothing which is against reason is
law: For reason is the life of the
law, nay, the common law itself is
nothing but reason" Then, to know
whether it is good law, it must be
measured by reason and common
sense. the highest law known to man.
to blame for what is called bad laws,
than the law makers themselves?
There are large number of people,
II not majority, that IL you say any,
thing to them about the tariff, or
finance. will reply: II don't know
anything about politics" Do these
people know the true meaning Of poll
tics, not the common acceptance Of
the word, but it's true meaning@
The dictionary says: Politics. The
science or the art of government, or
the administration Of national or pub
lie affairs. Political. Pertaining to
government, policy, polity, or politics
Politician. One versed in the science
of government; a person skilled in. or
devoted to. politics" According to
this version, 1t is not crime to talk
politics" nor does It make criminal
of man because he is politician"

RESPECT THE UNIFORM OF THE
STATE.

The experience Of the militia al
Sport hill last Monday is an object
lesson to the state Of Connecticut
Something should be done to make
the uniform of the state respected as
much as is the uniform Of the United
States army. II the militia are to be
effective there must be inculcated In
the minds of the public thorough re-
spect for its uniform and what it rep
resents. The state guardsman repre-
sents the law of the state, the same
as the law of a city is represented by
policeman, and the law of the Unit
ed States by its army and navy. The
uniform of any of these bodies is sig
nificant, and any man wearing II
should at once be able to command
respect. The uniform of the state
should carry with it such a prestige
that young men should be anxious and
eager to wear It,. and be proud Of IL
when they are enrolled in the state
service. No city or town knows when
the services Of the militia may be
needed and when it is, it is desirable
that there be a well organized body
of men available-men who will, be-
cause of their presence, inspire awe
and fear, If necessary. in the minds of
those disorderly elements that some
times gain control for brief period.
If it is the custom to jser and jibe at
the militia by such smart youths as
often make up a transient crowd 1t
will be found difficult to secure desira-
BILE young men to enlist. But the
state should think enough Of its own
.
to properly punish those who see At
to insult it. Connecticut might well
emulate Massachusetts, which imposes
fine of 800 on any person who wan
tonly insults member of the state
militia In uniform.-Bridgeport Post.
Americans should respect the man in
the uniform, and the man in the uni
form should respect the government.
A bum or a beat or drunkard is no
more worthy Of respect in the uniform
than out Of it. The man who disgraces
himself and thus disgraces the uni
form is wholly to blame for the bad
odor In which uniformed men appear
to be in now and then. The uniform
is regarded by some with the same
reverence as the flag, and the man
who trails the flag in the dirt is soon
brought to order. Ought 1t not to be
the same with the men who by dis
reputable conduct make of their uni
formed comrades suspects? There is
little danger of a militiaman being
wantonly insulteds who behaves him
self uprightly and courteously toward
all.

VERMoNT's INDUSTRIAL AID
VANCE.

Governor Prouty Of Vermont, the
sther day, told the newspapers Of Bos-
ton that during the past five years
Vermont manufactures have increased
faster in proportion to the percentage
of inhabitants than in any other New
England state. 1t is pleasant to be
able to trumpet abroad fact like this
about ones state. The reason Of it
is that Vermont has something more
to offer than natural attractions That
state has as a rule low taxes and few
labor contentious. Irrational conflicts
and ruinous competition have taken
the Industrial prestige of many New
England cities away from theu-bus-
mess has been forced to seek a more
congenial atmosphere. Vermont is in
wiling on account Of its primitive
ness--the loss Of neighboring states is
its gain.

At the north end OF Hudson Bay is
an island about the size of the State
of Maine, which Is called Southamp-
ton Island, on which has been dis
covered a lost tribe of Esquimaux,
which has been without any inter-
course with human beings for cen
turtles and until a few years ago had
never seen white man. Apparently
these people have dwelt here since
before the time of Columbus. They
are still in the stone age, knowing
no metals. They grow no plants ond
their homes are built of the skulls Of
whales. Their huts are built by put
ting together the great jaws Of
whale and covering them over with
skins. In the middle of this dwell
Ing is the familiar elevated place on
which stands the lamp. With this
they cook, light their dwelling, pro-
vide warmth, melt snow and dry
their clothes. The whale Is their
chief means of subsistence. They use
the bones in a variety of ways, even
making their cups and buckets of It,
by bending 1t in shape and sewing
on the bottom.
The tribe is composed of about
fifty-eight individuals. about evenly
divided between the sexes. They
speak a dialect peculiar to them
selves. quite unlike that spoken by
any other tribes of Esquimaux. A
fact which shows the perfect isola-
tion of the community is evidep ed
by their ignorance of soapstone.
Among other tribes 1t Is the favorite
material for pots and kettles, and
when they are unable to obtain it in
their own neighborhood they will
make long pilgrimages, lasting sew
eral years, In quest of this mater al.
But as the people of this lost tribe
are in ignorance of such stone they
make their receptacles from slabs of
limestone, which they glue together
in rectangular shapes by mixing
deer's blood and grease.

the logic of such division of the

ly that the men were forced to share

sociation is now trying to reform

other things the admission of women
to the senate and faculty.
