THE CASE OF THAW.

/ Harry K. ThaW has been putting up a
/ strong fight for freedom from the Mat
/ teawan insane asylum. Whether he will
be successful at the present time is not
known, but that he will keep on trying
so long as the family is possessed of
wealth goes without saying. Roger H.
Pryor, former supreme court justice Of
the state Of New York. has made the
following prophecy regarding the mat
ter:
Unless Thaw is freed on one of these
proceedings, the matter will never be
settled as long as habeas corpus is a
part Of our judiciary system and he has
the financial means to command its
power.
Notwithstanding my belief that
Thaw is not now and never was insane.
he IS confined as a menace to society.
Naturally he wants his freedom, and
takes recourse to his right of habeas
corpus. Unless he is legally released
the case can never be terminated as
long as he has the money to bring an
other legal demand for habeas corpus.
The law Of habeas corpus is. never
theless, too precious TO be questioned
as a universal right It is as old as our
history. In my opinion Thaw is a purse
proud upstart, taught TO recognize no
law but the law of his own perverse
will. And so long as he has money for
counsel he will, I think. gain new
test of his sanity through the habeas
corpus writ"
So there seems to be no escape from
the Thaw case so long as the money
holds out.

TURN OUT THE GUARD

That second line Of defense, the ma
tional guard Of the various states COM
posing the Union, is brought up to a
higher state Of efficiency each succeed
ing year. Utah guardsmen. we believe,
are keeping we'll up with the spirit of
the times and are developing into the
real thing on the tented field. The
term "tin soldier" no longer applies to
the militiaman, especially in Utah. But
in order to maintain high standard Of
proficiency IL is necessary that the
members Of the guard attend drill reg
ulariy and vigorously carry out the in
structions Of their officers. It is nee
essary also that the officers keep them
selves we'll posted in matters military,
that they may be able to impart infor-
nation to the men under them.
Aside from the drill meetings at the
armories, once each year the guard goes
into camp, and the regular army evo-
buttons, target practice, etc, become a
part Of the daily duties. It is highly
important that the entire membership
Of the guard be present and accounted
for on ordinary occasions. This year,
however, we have the veterans Of the
Civil war with us for their annual en-
campment. The national guard will go
into camp next week, and it is the in
tention 20 have the militiamen march
with the veterans and regular soldiers
In the grand parade. General Wedg-
wood has appealed to the members Of
the guard TO leave their customary pur-
suits and go into camp. He also ap-
peals 10 the employers of the young
men to turn them loose for next week.
His appeals should be resnected

The fact that deception has been prac-
feed is well known, and it is realized
that the next political campaign is go
ing TO be fought with the tariff as the
issue. The Wall Street Journal under
stands the existing situation thoroughly
and does not mince matters in setting
forth its views. In a recent editorial
il says:
If the voter has not LEANED some
valuable lessons from the tariff dis
cussIon he is a great deal denser than
the Wall Street Journal believes. Never
has such a flood Of daylight been thrown
upon high projections meanest and ug-
Hest features. The pretense of high
tariff for the encouragement of infant
industries has been abandoned. That
kind of infant in fact, never grows
old enough To be weaned. and. indeed.
demands more infant nourishment the
older it gets.
Another hard-worked theory. also.
which has received some rude shocks
is that an advance i'm tariff schedules
means an advance i'm wages 1t is in
creasingly probable that the two things
are not ,related. Wages went down
last year irrespective Of the tariff in
the enormously protected steel indus
try, and have since been restored. al
though iron ore and pig iron are among
the few articles on which the duty has
been revised downward. The New Eng
land cotton spinners are making great
dividends. but the wages of mill oper-
atives have not advanced. So much
IS this the case that unintelIigent and
imported labOrers from Europe
or even children Of school age are sub

sives.

FURTHER OBJECTION USELESS.

Royal blood courses through the veins
of Miss Katherine EIkins-royal Italian
blood at that-so there is no earthly rea-
son why the Duke of the Abruzzi should
not embrace the girl and take over a
large share of West Virginia for his
condescensiOn. This strain Of royal
blood comes by way of the Davis line
and not that Of Elkins We are as
sured that the old octogenarian who
once ran on the Democratic ticket for
vice president can trace his descent
back to A. D. S14, through many gem
eratiOns Of Italian kings. The proofs
are said to have been submitted to the
Heralds' college in London and a GER
tificate issued showing that the tribe
Of Davis was some pumpkins in the
dark and middle ages.
Negotiations can now proceed for this
AbrUzzi wedding, which were called off
on account Of the supposed plebeian or
igin of the young lady. Now that it
has been conclusively shown that the
