THE Federal Bureau of Statistics
states that it is now apparent the
exports from the United States for
the fiscal year year ending June Both.
will fall materially below those of 1908
and 1907, and Slightly below those of
1906" From statistics compiled by
the bureau the total value of domestic
merchandise exports in 1908 was ST.
S35, 900, 900; in 1907, 81 ,Sj4, 900, 900
and in 1906, 81, us, 000, 900. The bu-
reau estimates that the domestic
exports for the full fiscal year 1909.
will be nearly 5000. 900, 900 below
the average of 1908 and 1907, ard
perhaps $50, 900, 900 those of 1906.
The causes of this marked decline in
the export trade are ascribed to
practically those which have pro-
duced similar conditions in other
parts of the word-a reduction in
the general demand for merchandise
and material reduction IN the prices
of certain of the more important
articles exported.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES TO
BECOME A PERMANENT BODY.-With
what alacrity the &. o. p. turns
everything to account. 1t always
gathers up the flOtsam that floats
from a wreck, though it be of their
own party. 1t is proposed to make
the investigating committee per-
manent adjunct to the administra-
ton, under whose watchful eye the
public service will be carefully
watched without submitting the pub
lie to the worry and trouble of de-
tecting the Schivelys and the Hamil-
tons that are always abstracting
plums from the official pudding
The committee will be well paid for
the service. but there is no provision
for revision of their work, or detcc-
ton of any graft, by its members, if
it should slip in, while the peoples
eyes are closed in fancied safety. To
create pickings for the faithful it
seems is not lost to sight, even under
the most adverse circumstances. 1t
is said that one of our high law-mak-
ers has number of fat salaries
hanging from his lappels like dink-
uses on totem pole. At least he
has the reputation of holding more
positions that have pay in them,
than any other ward politician in the
States.

A New USE FOR THE SUITCASE. -
1t was noted the other day. on one
of the tranScOntinental trains, that a
mother who was making a trip from
KokomO, Ind, to Los Angeles, Cal. ,
had her tiny baby costly tucked in a
" telescope suitcase, ingcniously
held open for the admission of air.
The mother declared that she had
found this method saved trouble in
carrying the baby. 1t is novel
method, as a passenger director
about depots for eighteen years de
clares. and may, therefore, be valu-
able suggestion to tired mothers
when on long trips by rail, where ac-
cOmmOdatiOns are necessarily limited
and methods of handling baggage"
often incOnvenient.

the butter-moulds" in common use,
which scrimp what is sold for two
pounds, about four ounces on each

somewhat near the center, which the
dealer explains is to keep the bcr-

it answer as well, however, to allow
Il depression of contents at the top

A TACOMA lawyer has filed charges
against the Supreme Court, except
Judge Emmett y. Parker. His name
is Herbert n. De Wolfe, and his
charge is that the high court has de
cided no less than four cases against
him. in which he declares that they
have directly violated the oath of
Office and that each and every mem
Der, with one exception, is unfit to
sit as judge or practice law in our
courts. This charge has been
filed with the Legislature with the
request that they be investigated.
1t is probable that De Wolfe had no
memory of the punishment doled
out to Judge Robinson, of suspension
from the bar for q definite period for
simply doubling the wisdom of that
body on passing judgment in matters
in the Sullivan estate.

Iuliyiluali-m and Crimin0lOgy.

Attention is invited to an article
on the subject of Criminology by
Judgn Byron Milictt. appearing on
the first page Of this issue OF the
STANDARD. This production pos
s,>S,S value from a historical point of
view. Whether the positive school
Of .r,minology. as understood in ltal
ian p4r,aucc, has found the proper 50
mt.un with regard to the method Of
dealing forth Justice to the criminal
c'u~S. i Il question for serious debate;
fu' mankind has long been imbued
wiki the belief of individual rcSpOn-
Sibi.itv regarding the consequences
naturally following the acts Of sane
prI.> ms who have arrived at the
years Of discretion. This theory Of
environment, acting upon individual
couduct despite the viii of the par
ticu,Ir person involved in the tran
Saction. is OF recent growth, having
been developed among German,
French and notably among Italian
schools of thought, in the last half
century.
Concerning the conclusions ad-
vanccd by Mr.. Millett as to the man
ncr of dispensing justice to persons
accused Of crime. the STANDARD is OF
the opinion there are reasonable
premises from which the deductions
may be sustained. The pardoning
power as now exercised often has the
effect of reviewing and annulling the
verdicts Of juries and the decisions OF
courts: for an illustration. man was
convicted of the crime of catte-stcal
ing in the Superior Court, and sen
fenced to Imprisonment in the peni
Tertiary for the period of three
years. This decision was sustained
on appeal to the Supreme Court; at
forwards the man who was convicted
asked Governor Mead to grant him 4
pardon. The generous Executiv,
complied with the request on condi
ton the defendant would pay two
hundred and fifty dollars. which h,
did with reasonable haste. Thu
costs of this case being over five
hundred dollars were taxed agains
Thurston county In this case there
was an evident perversion of the adj
ministration of Justice. If the mar
charged were guilty, it was wrong t.
allow him to escape with 4 light fine
or any penalty otherwise than tina
which was imposed by the courts
If the decision of the courts wer,
faulty, which seems improbable, i
was unjust to convict the party whei
tried. PROFESSIONALLY the people
will sooner trust the courts in affair:
of this character than any Executive
with arrogated judicial functions.

An American team of six men pulled

The only consolation they got from
the committee was the statement that
there were no Americans except the
Mexicans and the Indians. All the rest
were English The American team did
not see any humor in the situation, and
wrathy words were exchanged by the
members of the teams and their respec-
tive sympathizers.

Citizens Enter Protest
Against Conditions Exist
ing at Fort Reno.

Unless the Commissioners of the Dis
trict and Congress take some action
to remedy conditions. the health of per-
sons living in Washington may be en-
dangered through drinking impure
water sent into the city by the reser-
voir out at Fort Reno. D c.
This fact has heen brought to the at
tentiOn of the public by the Northwest
Suburban Citizens Association, which
will take immediate 1ctiOn toward
arousing the interest and support of the
authorities.
Surrounded By Shanties.
The reservoir is surrounded by "a
colony OF shsKties which is being
rapidly increas ID. The occupants OF
these houses have no sewer facilities.
and residents o. the northwest, particu-
larry members of the association who
have made an investigation of the con-
ditions, say it is possible for waste ma
{eriaI, dead animals, and anything else
10 be thrown into the reservoir and no
body would be the wiser. One person
even went so far as to declare that If
the reservoir were drained out sur
prising condition would be found at the
bottom.
The reservoir has no covering and
practically no protection - given the
water from the possibility of pollution
1t is easy. members Of the association
say. for somebody 20 go over there at
night and sling a dead dog or dead
cat or anything else into the water.
Likely Receptacle.
Members of the association declare
with no sewer facilities or other health
provisions. the waste material must go
somewhere. for il disappears. and the
reservoir is the most likely receptacle
No one goes so far as to claim to have
actually seen people throw such things
into the reservoir. but after a close and
protracted Investigation into the posi-
biiities of the situation, they declare
there is every reason TO believe that
the health of the people in the city is
endangered.
This is the chief source from which
residents OF the city get their wdtcr
and members Of the association believe
the people are entitled 10 protection
against the possible evil.
Associations Plan.
It is the purpose OF the association to
petition Congress through the Commits
sioners to purchase about twenIs acres
of land about the reservoir and convert
it into a public park. They believe tnst
the first thing needej is TO clear out
the little colony of shanties about the
reservoir and that the principal source
of danger will then have been removed.
The association points out that there
are increases being constantly made to
the little group. and that il something
is not done to clear them out the prob
lem will become more difficult as time
goes on.
The association will endeavor to call
the attention OF the Health Department
10 the conditions prevailing out at Fort
Reno. and solicit its aid in remedying
the situation so far as it is possible
while waiting for Congressional legisia-
ton. They declare tFe conditions are
serious in the extreme, and that early
action is absolutely necessary in order
to protect the people OF Washington.
