New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-11-10

The people are much displeased
with the manner in which court BUSH.
ness is often conducted, but we doubt
if they will ever accomplish reform.
The people grumble great deal, but
steadily neglect public affairs. There
is really no reason why the people
should not have public affairs SEN
sibly. economically and expeditiously
conducted, except that the politicians
always manage to split the people in
to factions, and nothing is done.
Almost every noted lawyer has con-
fessed that the courts are too slow
and too expensive, and that they en-
courage litigation that is extremely
discredjta BILE in its character, if not
positively dishonest. Yet nothing is
done, except to grumble. A writer in
Atlantic Monthly calls attention to a
grimly humorous illustration Of one
of the results to the litigant found in
New York law suit which reached a
final chapter recently in the Court Of
Appeals. It was a complex case
against an insurance company on
some policies of insurance, and each
time it was tried it took from week
to two weeks attention of court and
jury. Owing to reversals and new
trials ordered by appellate courts, it
had to be tried nine times. It was in
the courts from 1882 to 1902. The
plaintiff became at last so sick and
disheartened with his interminable
law suit that he abandoned it, refused
to go to his lawyers to consult with
them about it or to appear when the
case was being tried. The lawyers
had themselves spent over forty-fve
hundred dollars on fighting the case,
and had worked on it for nearly
twenty years. Their client having
abandoned them, they settled the case
for thirty thousand dollars, and took
the money themselves for their fee.

Treatment OF the lesser Breed

dow to treat what Kipling called
ssthe lesser breed without the law
according to the Englishman's theory,
takes illustration from the argument
put forward in support of Lord Kitch-
ener's appointment to be viceroy of
India. It is urged that he is big
man OF imposing stature and distant
manners of the sort to impress the
natives with sense of his superiority.
Lord Curzon's success in the same
Office is attri buted to like qualities, re-
enforced by the imperial pomp and
circumstance that he maintained.
Europeans were inclined to ridicule
mis- affectation Of royal dignity and
observance, but it appears to have re-
sduced the native mind to a condition
of convenient subsection, or, at least,
reverence for authority. On the other
hand, Lord Mimic, whose democratic
manners made him such a favorite in
Canada, seriously lowered himself in
the Hindu estimation by walking
across a polo field to shake hands
with a native prince, whereas if he had
followed the established vice regal
etiquette he would have sent an aide
de camp to summon the petty potentate
TO an audience.
Barbour Lathrop, who used to be a
1newspaperman in San Francisco and
has since turned globe trotter, tells a
story of meeting Prosper Merrimee,
the French author, in India. .'You
Englishmen," said M. Merrimee,
know how to treat the natives far
better than we do. You say to them,
Look at me, you damn niger,
am God. Get down on your knees.
but we come and slap them on the
back and say, sLiberte, equalite, fra.
fernite. Your plan is right
There is conflict Of PHILOSOPHERS
This theory does not 6t with the sen.
ailments of the stern English Puritan,
avho said on the scaffold:
i never will believe that providence
aas sent a few men into the world
ready booted and spurred and mil.
lions ready saddled and bridled to be
ridden. 2

Tariff War With Canada.

Assorted troubles are indicated be-
tween the United States and Canada,
France and some other European
countries over the administration of
the new tariff and the imposition of
maximum or minimum schedules.
1t was at first proposed to make the
operation of the maximum clause
automatic and take away from the
administration all discretion as re-
CARDS foreign countries whose tariffs
discriminate against products of the
United States. Under that provision
as it stood in the Payne bill the maxi
mum schedules would have gone into
effect against France and Canada, for
example, without recourse. But AL
drich had the bill amended in the
senate to read ''unduly discrimi-
Mates" These words, of course, place
wide discretion in the executive and
put heavy responsibility on him. In
his accepted role of the ''great re-
conciler" President Taft is likely to
be very busy in this field for at least
a year to come. The situation is thus
described as to Canada in Wash
ington dispatch:
The difficulty of the situation is that
the trading which is thus imposed up
on President Taft must be all upon
one side. He can offer no country
anything but the whole minimum list,
and this of itself was intended by con-
gress to be prohibitory in many cases.
Canada has a triple tariff, consisting
of a general tariff upon the goods of
countries with which she has no trade
agreements; an intermediate or con-.
ventional tariff, and the British pre-
ferential. She has also fourth rate,
the surtax of 33s per cent; and that
she is not afraid to use it Germany
for some years has been able to
testify. Tariff experts here will be
very slow to believe that the Canadian
statesmen will regard the American
minimum as a sufficient equivalent for
their intermediate list It will be the
duty of President Taft, therefore, to
obtain what concessions he can from
Canada, and then to decide in his own
mind whether they are sufficient to
warrant him in avoiding tariff war.
How this narrow course can be fol-
lowed and tariff wars avoided without
great humiliation to the United States,
in some cases, is very serious
question.
Canada has a commercial treaty
with France which on its face consti-
tutes discrimination against United
States products. Whether it consti-
tutes "undue" discrimination is the
trying question that Mr.. Taft is left to
decide, with the further sense that in
the conduct of negotiations he can
make no concessions other than
emitting to impose the maximum rates
of Is per cent advance on the mini
mum. AS the United States has al
ways held Canada at arms length in
these matters, with the result of
creating some soreness, Mr.. Taft may
find his negotiations difficult and
| thorny.

Courts Of Justice. z

The last chapter Of the litigation was
an unsuccessful attempt by the re-
ceiver in Insolvency of the plaintiff to
make the lawyers give up some of
their fee to their clients creditors.
How much the twenty years delay in
the law suit had to do with the in
solvency it is impossible to say; but
such an outcome, to the lay mind,
seems hardly satisfactory as result
of twenty years of litigation, OF nine
trials, and seventy two days time of
over a hundred jurors.
In one of the fairly recent volumes
of the New York Court of Appeals
Reports is contained the last chapter
of famous and extraordinary case,
which is gross illustration of this
interminableness, and an extreme
though characteristic example of its
results. The court record of the last
chapter of this law suit is curt and
obscure; hardly what one might ex-
pect for an extraordinary case. It
consists of eight words: Judgment
and order confirmed with costs. No
opinion" These eight words make
the close of a simple accident case, in
volving no difficult questions of law,
which had been in the courts contin-
uously for twenty-five years. It had
been tried before juries seven times.
It had been argued in appellate courts
ten times. The final bill of costs in
the case, not including lawyers
charges or the cost of printing seven
different volumes of testimony, each
of from two to three hundred pages,
as required in the appellate courts on.
the various appeals, and not including
any of defend ants expenses whatever,
is over two thousand dollars. A con-
sentative estimate of the expense of
this litigation not including lawyers
fees probably would be five thousand
ollars.-Atchison Globe.

b. Plumstead, Imitator and Charac-
ter Delineator-At Turner Theatre,
Wednesday, Nov. 18th. Mr. Plum
stead's work does not suggest the
technique of the school-room, although
the technique is there, and his
thorough training has never outrun
that ''touch of nature which alone
can make the speaker and his hearers
one, in soul and sympathy No matter
how mixed the audience, Mr.. Plum
stead touches chord in every heart,
and even those who are dead to love
and humor will find in his repertoire
stern logic enough for the most aE-
stract philosopher. Coupled with
those gifts that make bim an enter
tainer, Mr.. Plumstead has a keen
sense of discrimin alton, and the
selections he has chosen are not only
full of droll and pointed humor in the
humorous, pathos in the pathetic, and
tragedy IN the tragic, but they are
entirely free from any shade of
sacrilege.
Mr.. Ellsworth Plumstead as an i'm
personator and all-around entertainer
is an unqualified success. Versatile,
pleasing in manner-in fact, he is all
right.

Coal in China.

Advices from China are to the effect
that there is considerable activity
among the people of South China, es-
pecially in the Fa-Yuen district, which
is not far from Canton, in regard to
the opening of coal mines. 1t is be-
Ilieved that there are vast mineral re-
sources in the Kwangtung province,
land it is said that strong appeals are
being made to the authorities for per-
In Kwangsi it is believed there are al
$50 mineral resources, and the govern
ment of that province some time ago
appointed special commissioner to
visit the United States to investigate
commercial affairs, who was accom-
panied by three wealthy merchants.
This commission was charged spec
Tally with the study of methods in var
lious mineral producing districts of this
country, and it is expected that upon
the return of the commission to
China the work of developing mines in
Kwangsi will be undertaken. The
Herman cruiser squadron in eastern
Asia, according to ofi1clal lnfOrmatlon
communicated to the 'Koeinische lei
tung,' has been trying Chinese coal
with satisfactory results. The use of
Chinese coal would represent con-
siderable economy in cost to the
navy, as German and British coal is
VERY dear, owing to the cost to trans
port to the far east. The Hungchan
| (Chinese) coal is reported to be of
good quality, and is apparently suit
liable as a substitute for Wesphalian
Tor Cardiff coal. At the end of June the
price of Cardiff coal at Shanghai
ranged from 1913 to $1216 a ton;
Australian coal was $3.50 to 1924;
Japanese coal, s3,645 to $6.0S, and
IShantung coal, $4.13 to $5.35 ton.

to get up a goodly-sized quarrel be-

and each said mean and horrid things
