The year just closed opened with
financial uncertainties Certain de-
engagements had occurred In monetary
affairs that were hard to understand
and which, in fact, seem now to have
been more apparent than real But
they were tangible enough at the time,
especially to those who had in hand
enterprises calling for general conf
dence and fair share of optimism
In addition TO this halt presidential
election was at hand, with an opposi-
ton candidate who had twice re-
ceived the largest vote ever cast by
his party and was likely to do il
again, as proved to be the case Taken
in all, the outlook was a misty one for
business men. To get through with it
safely required the exercise of strong
common sense and vigorous activity
on the part of all opposed to expert
mental changes of generally radical
kind
Congratulations are due the people
for the GOODNESS and balanced judg-
ment they showed In dealing with the
threatening financial conditions in the
last weeks of 1907 and the opening
months Of 1903. They were subject to
some novel business embarrass-
ments,, but what was called the panic
never really reached the stage of an
unthinking rush of any kind. Nor
was the supreme political duty Of the
year allowed to take the dangerous
form Of impulsiveness or passion. The
people kept their heads admirably,
both in the political campaign and the
business exchanges. For the United
States It was good year, an encour-
aging year, that just closed. The
nation whose population Is approach
ing 1O0,O0O,0OO faces the future with
sense Of duty we'll performed dur
ing the last twelve months, which Is
the best assurance of Happy New
Year.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Trouble Ahead ON the Tariff


The Republican party will scarcely be
able to avoid trouble over the tariff
In the first place, for a number Of
years, the tariff has been attacked in
certain places by prominent 2epubli-
cans. 1t has been attacked in such a
violent manner in some places as to
create dlstruSt of the system itself.
In some instances harsher things have
been said against the tariff by Repub-
licans than were ever said by Demo
Gratis. AS result of this criticism,
there are any number of Republicans
who not only believe that the present
law is a vicious law, but that the sys-
TEN itself has in it the seeds Of mo-
nopoly. Republicans who have been
thus led astray are not apt to be sat
isfied with what the Republican par
ty will do in the way OF tariff revis-
ion. They have been led to expect the
impossible. because for the most part

thought it needed, so that everybody

JUDICIARY
LAW KILLED
PLAN TO SEPARATE SUPREME
AND CIRCUIT COURTS DIES MA
TURAL DEATH.

One of the departments which will
be severely pruned by Governor Frear
IN the appropriation bill is that pre-
sided over by Chief Justice Hartwell.
The latter's plans have gone complete
ly astray and while the amount of
money which has been set aside for
the work is far above that which was
calculated On by the administration,
the plans have been much confused.
In the reports which were submitted
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court and the first judge of the local
circuit court it was recommended that
the Supreme Court and the Circuit
Court be separated completely as far
as employees go. This plan was also
suggested to the Legislature in the
Governors message and was brought
before that body in House bill No. Al.
House bill No. 163 which contained
some departures from the program
set down by the Chief Justice, was sub
stituted, however, and was passed by
the House. This reached the Senate
and has been held up in the Judiciary
Committee where it now remains and
will remain till the end of the session.
In addition to this Governor Frear is
said to have signified his intention Of
usng his veto upon it if it is passed.
The attitude which had been assum-
ed in regard to this bill by the Judi
ciary committee was called to the at
tention of Senator Fairchild of the
conference committee, before the ap-
preparation bill was considered and
changes made in that document which
will allow the courts to proceed in
practically the same manner that they
have in the past. One of the changes
made, however, is to cut out the high
er priced employees in some instances
and put in more men at lower pay. In
some cases this has been done by sub
stituting two men at 500 per month
for one man who has been doing the
same work for $3.50 in the past. In
this way more money has been used up
and more jobs created Here it is ex-
pected that the pruning shears OF Gov
ernor Frear will find some work to do,
which will save money for the Terri
tory.
The reason given by the members
of the Senate Judiciary committee for
holding up the bill is that it is prac-
tically the same as the so-called "bai-
lift act " which was rpnealed nv thp
Legislature of 1908. 1t, if passed,
would give the Circuit Judges power to
appoint what officials they saw fit
without limit and open the way to
possible abuse, should an unfit man be
placed on the bench.
