Certainly the change contemplated
by such bill Is in the right direction.
Law is an agent Of civilization, in
tended to secure justice by peaceful
means and to eliminate feuds and In
diyidual violence in the righting OF
wrongs. But by the manipulation OF
legislators, and the practice Of advo-
Gates, 1t has become, In some sections,
a game, in which petty tricks and
bubbles have standing and get hear
ings, even when justice Is obviously
outraged. The limit has been reached
and we should return to common sense,
the foundation Of all good laws.-Co-
lumbia State.
We agree with Mr.. Dixon and the
State that this proposition is along the
right line. In these days when there
Is about as much practice behind the
bar as there Is in front Of 1t, 1t is well
to curtail the power Of the judges in
setting aside verdicts. No righteous
Judge should desire any other result
of trial than substantial justice, and
this thing Of setting aside verdicts on
trivial technicalities is absolutely abb
surd AS Mr.. Dixon suggests, there
are some weak judges on the bench,
and paradoxical as it may appear to a
layman, about the best evidence, Of
weakness in a judge is that Of striv-
ing to make a record in being sus-
tained by the supreme court The
Judge who works for a record is more
apt to set verdicts aside than the
judge who strives only to enforce the
law and secure justice, for the record
seeking judge is disposed to avoid ev-
erytning that may raise debatable
question. He can do this by ruling in
favor of the side most likely to appeal
and by setting verdicts aside. OF
course, judgs should have the power
to set verdicts aside; but as we see it,
there can be no harm in limiting that
power along the lines suggested in Mr..
Dixon's proposed bill.

REVOLT IN PERSIA.

The shah of Persia failed to profit by
the fate of Abdul Hamid of Turkey. and
has allowed the anger Of the people to
reach point from which there is no
turning back. Like the Turks, the Per
SLAMS have long desired Il constitutional

the shah pretended to accedc to their
wishes But it was only a pretcnse in
both cases. Uprisings resulted, the sui
tan was deposed and the shah has also
lost his crown and may lose his head

COME TRADE FIGURES.

According 10 the bureau Of statistics.
half billion dollars worth of American
manufactures were exported TO Ger
many during the decade ending with the
fiscal year 1909. There has been "a
steady growth i'm the exports of manu-
features To Germany. Notwithstanding
the fact that Germany is considered the
most formidable rival of the United
States for the trade of the world. with
the possible exception Of Great Britain.
The principal articles Of manufacture
ready for consumption sent to Germany
during the decade are illustrated By the
following figures of the fiscal year 1908:
Metal working machinery. 1895. 46S;
typewriters. S1,O23,44O cash registers.
S645,04S; sewing machines. s1,17O. 59S;
mowers and reapers, 1851. 4SS; locks,
hinges and other builders hardware.
S610,4S3; tools, S420 923; artificial teeth,
Sl01.156: varnish. $156. 49O; electrical ma
chinery, $l0O,SsO: laundry machinery.
S10l.0JS: boots and shoes Of leather.
S5S9,23S; boots and shoes of India rub
Der, 1896, 443; Illuminating oil S7,S46.S03
lubFicating oil. S2.S9l.511; corn oil. 1854
40, and spirits of turpentine. S1,S74,547.
In addition to these there are many
other manufactured articles of less
value. including bicycles, plows and cul-
tivators, manufactures of brass, auto
mobiles watches. cotton knit goods.
Irvine, cutlery. firearms. steam engines.
woodworking machinery. printing
presses, pipes and fittings. stoves and
ranges, and pianos, organs and auto
matte piano players.
The foreign trade of the United States
is thus shown to he constantly expand
ing in spite Of the embargo laid by the
high protective tariff This country
does not produce the raw material need
ed for manufacturing purposes and the
importations are advancing by leaps and
bounds While the conferees are licking
the Payne-Aldrich bill into final shape
with the hope that the president can be
induced 10 sisn it, it might be well to
call attention to the tmportations for
the fiscal year Just closed. the figures
being given out by the bureau Of sta
tlstics
The imports are shown to be S1O0 900. 70
600 in value less than those of the pre-
cedinE year but in quantity surpass all
records. We imported 100000 pounds
of raw silk at time of Industrial de-
precision. the largest previous imports
being under 100000 We imported
256,50O,oOG pounds of wool which was
never surpassed except under the alb
normal conditions attending imports in
anticipation OF higher customs. We
imported S6.O0O,OOO pounds of rubber. al
though VIC had never before imported
quite 100000. We imported 1872 600. coo
pounds of hides. although VIC had never
before imported over 425.O00.C00

MURDER OF BANKER sAYLER.

The murder of Banker John Byron
Sayler at his home in Crescent City H..
week or more ago by his wtfe's
lover was an atrocious crime in every
sense. The dead man loved his home
and his only child. and, although he sus-
pected that he had been betrayed by one
who had sworn TO love and honor him at
the marriage altar. he hesitated to take
action which would necessarily break
up his home and darken the life of his
young daughter just budding into
womanhood. Because he did not take
some action in the matter the woman
and the man who finally slew the bank
err in his own home became holder, and
all gossiping tongues in the vicinity
were Wagging. The details of the trag-
edy are not known, and as the victim is
in the grave. perhaps an attempt will
be made at the trial of Miller to prove
that the wronged man was the ag-
sressor.
SayIer was different from a great ma
iority of men who have been placed in
a similar position. He wanted no mans
blood on his hands. even though the
"unwritten law might be successfully
pleaded in his behalf He kept his trou-
bles to himself and suffered in silence.
AT the funeral the minister. after re-
counting the virtues of the murdered
man. read a bit of poetry which was
found in the bankers pocketbOok to
show that he appreciated to the full eX-
tent the sentiments surrounding the love
Of home and family. It bore signs Of
having been handled many times as the
husband and father read and re-read it
to himself and was as follows.
1 ask not much of life.
Only enough
To shield my little ones and wife
From breezes rough.
I ask not much of life.
Only to wend
MY way uprightly through the strife,
Straight to the end.
I ask not much of life
Only a bit Of lawn
Apart from maTts with tumult rife,
Until the dawn.
Who shall say that he did not act a
herOs part? Undoubtedly the verdict
of most people would be that he should
have killed the despoiler of his home
But he did not believe in taking the law
into his own hands and carrying the
mark of Cain to the grave.
Dr. Miller. the murderer. and the UNI
faithful wife are in Jail awaiting trial
for putting this good man TO death. Let
the law take its course.

ALL HONOR TO THE INSUR-
GENT REPUBLICANS.

Every constituency IN the country,
which had the honor TO be represented
by one OF the score-and-a-h half Repub-
licans who went up to the rack and
stood firm for the fight against the
House machine on the rules, ought to
feel honored. 1t took manhood and
nerve and courage and willingness TO
sacrifice. 1t meant looking into the
jaws of defeat and contemplating
steadily the possibility of a bhghted
career that probably was the budding
flower of lifelong ambition.
To the men who stood out from their
party caucus and voted the sentiments
of themselves and their districts on
this question of parliamentary reform,
al honor is due. The Democrats did
Rell-the Democrats save those who
come from sugar-coated louisiana and
take their politics like pill, and those
who come from Tammanyized New
York, where they furnish sort of
politics that everybody else takes like
. pill. 1t perhaps wasn't fair to ex-
pect more from those sections of the
Democracy. Leader Clark did a mag
nificent piece of work in holding his
forces so we'll in hand as he did.
When it is all over, a survey of the
field develops the great, big, vital fact
that the House has been induced to
vote down the old rules. 1t did that
under the whip and spur of earnest
and fast-growing public opinion that
the rules are wrong and the present
administration of them wrong. True,
the Fitzgerald amendments are a fake
and a fraud; they were known and in
tended to be just that. They cost the
House machine nothing that it was not
glad to yield up in consideration of
keeping all the essentials Of its real
power. Nothing substantial has been
gained. But sentimentally, everything
has been gained.
The House leaders viii be in poor
shape contemptuously TO read out of
the party such men as Murdoch and
Norris and Hubbard and Cooper. for
"cohaniting with the Democrats" II
was Democratic support-the support
of the two rettenest spots in all
Democracy at that-whieh saved the
House machine.

AUTOMOBILES? WHAT ABOUT
STAGES AND BUSES?

One OF the reviewers of recent
automobile show in the North recalls
the fact that in the early days the
automobile was attacked not with
words alone But it should be remem-
iered that the automobile Is not excep-
5ioHsl in this respect.
Why, the homely and conservative
old stage coach was denounced, when
it first appeared in England, as '-the
greatest evil that has happened OF late
years TO the kingdom, mischievous to
trade and destructive TO the public
health" Later the hackney coach, now
known as the hack. was the subject OF
much bitter opposition. Some mer-
chants OF London compliance, OF it just
ns skeptical statesmen hereabout are
now complaining OF the referendum. A
popular poet named Taylor ground out
u jeremiad TO the effect that on ac-
count Of the hacks man couldn't read,
write, talk, hear, sleep or eat, the in
ference being that Taylor went out of
spwn to prepare his blast. But he sur
vfved; and 20 did the hack

Missed and stoned But the Parisians
found the bus handy when they were
building barbados in the summer OF

cars, on both sides of the ocean, is too
well known to describe at length.
America in general has welcomed
The automobile with glad hands and
fairly liberal regulations The hands
viii grow gladder and the regulations
more liberal as the years prove more
and more plainly the enormous prac-
teal value Of the motor car. A con.
venience that destroys distance must
always make its own way, so 10 speak.
