The expunging Of Representative Nllletts
speech from 1.-The Congressional Record ana
the utter failure of the discreditaDle attack
made on President Roosevelt and President
elect Taft by Representative Raney marx the
last stages of the outbreak Of animoslty III Con
eress against Mr. Roosevelt and the Roosevelt
policies AS we said not long ago, that out
break was made vent.for grievances OF many
sorts. few of them related to the controversy
over the Presidents reputed reflections on the
House Of Representatives In his last annuai
message The House found his comments on
its attitude toward the Secret Service bureau
of the Treasury Department a convenient open
ing for general attack, and it's zeal in censuf-
ing him on that particular score sprang from
other long treasured resentments. But the COM
edy nlayed on the Secret Service issue did not
deceive the public. The country took 1t for
what il was worth. and Congress soon lost IN
terest in acting TO its own applause. The cheap
ness of the Willett speech. which the House
itself repudiated, and the reckless extrayagance
of Mr. Rainey's charges are fitting end to an
outburst- which was largely bypocritical and
which in the long run reacted most fD1ur1ously
on the House itself.
We have said that fair-Inlnded newspapers In
every section of the country have noted the
holIowness of the Houses efforts to discredir
the President. Democratic newspapers or h1gh
standing have not been slow TO condemn the
Democratic party in the House for following
a false trail. Mr.. Willett and Mr.. Rainey have
had few defenders; for It is evident that they
permitted themselves to be used to pull chest
nuts out of the fire for critics Of the President
who did not dare 70 take the floor in their own
right Speaking of Mr.. Raineys astonishing
deliverance. THE Charlotte Observer" of Thurs
day said:
He had no proof 20 offer; he was. like The
New York World merely making charges,
and. We suspect, with equal lack OF founda-
ton In effect, he declared the President OF the
United States and the man who will become
President Of the United States on March TO
be rascaIs And he frequently apptauded.'
We note with much regret that neither of the
two Representatives who expressed honest and
patriotic resentment at the whole proceeding Is
Democrat.
''The Observer" laments the fact that there
are Democrats in Congress "fannel-mouthed
enough TO throw mud at the President and Mr.
Taft in order TO win applause from those who
would ike to do the mud throwing themselves
but are afraid to- This it calls yellow, or. at
least defcientIy conscientious craftsmanship
1t is the sort Of craftsmanship which the coun-
try does not admire. Even the Democratic
party is disgusted with campaign whose eli
max was ftIy capped by speeches like those OF
Messrs WTlett and Rainey.

chill AND PERU AGAIN.

The Quarrel which has now gone so far as 10

course between Peru and Chilli has sheen by no
means unexpected For mapy years relations
between the two countries have been IN I'M
stable equilibrium. As il usual In such cases.
each side bames the other. and it may be that.
as also is usual some fault does exist on each
side. The world at large, however, TO which
all phases of the tedious controversy have been
pretty openly disclosed, has largely inclined
toward sympathy with Peru as the victim OF
arbitrary conduct If not of actual bad faith, on
the part Of Chilli.
The crnx OF the whole matter is to be found
in Chili's alleged Anon-fufilment Of the treaty
of AncOn In the last war between the TWO
countries Peru was beaten by Chilli and in the
subsequent treaty of peace it was stipulated
that in addition 10 other indemnities made by
Peru. the TWO provinces of Tacna and africa
should be temporarily occupied by Chill for a
term Of ten years and that at the end OF that
time a vote Of the Inhabitants of the provinces
should be taken TO decide whether they should

Chill The ten years expired on March 2S
1894 and Peru Immediately pressed for the
taking Of the vote. as provided by the treaty.
but Chill, on various pretexts, delayed that
step year after year, and thus has continued TO
hold the provinces, and practically indicates her
intention 10 do so TO the end Of time. OF
course Peru resents that course and regards
Chilli as a deliberate treaty breaker.
The Peruvian contention Is that Chill has re-
fused 10 let the vote be taken because she
knows that ii would bcrin favor of restoration
of the provinces 10 Peru and she is determined
20 avoid that at all hazards. 1t is unquestion-
able that Chill strongly desires to retain the
provinces. since, ,Shey are Of almost incalculable
industrial and commercial value. On the

Chli's. il may be added has been positively de-

10 TAG Day N NEW YoRk.

The talk OF yesterdays being made tag
day" in this city ended In talk, and it is prob
ably well for all concerned that 1t did. WIN
the object of the proposed money raising, the
relief of the Italian earthquake sufferers, we
have the greatest possible sympathy, as have
all the people of New York. Of the wisdom.
4be propriety and the practicability OF the pro-
posed method at any rate when applied TO
such community as New YORK, there is red-
son for the gravest doubts.
We are not sure just when or where the tag
day" practice originated, nor do we care to in
ouire. lest there should be raised a controversy
rivaIling that over the birthplace OF Homer or
the authorship Of the Letters of Junius. 1t
has been conducted IN many places, often with
entirely pleasing and satisfactory results we
can easily imagine its successful operation in
n community OF moderate size and under care
full and iudicious management. But some
things which are entirely appropriate and prof
liable in a village, q town small city would
be decidedly inappropriate, If not much worse,
in such city as New York For young women
and girls to waylay their friends and nelghbors
with requests for money contributions, and 70
tag them in token OF subsequent exemption
of such appeals may be quite void of offence
For them 10 conduct such a campaign among
strangers of ali classes and conditions III the
metropolis would be TO invite abuses which it is
not agreeable TO contemplate.
AS for the organization Of the children of the
public schools into an army of solicitors. the
Improperly of such course should be obvious.
We have hitherto opposed, not without effect
other somewhat similar propositions to trans
form schools into collecting agencies, and we
should oppose this for the same reasons for
rnerlv employed. Such work is not only foreign
TO. but actually incompatible with the legiti-
mate functions of the schools and it could
scarcely avoid having an unfortunate effect
11uon the manners, If not also the morals. OF
the children 1t is well TO inculcate in children
q spirit of sympathy with suffering and OF de-
sire to do good but that can be done without
transforming them into beggars.

ETHICS OF THE BAR.

Mr.. Francis Lynde Stetsons remarks on rne
ethics OF the legal profession at the bunaio
meeting of the State Bar Association last week
are to be commended not SO much Tor any par
ticular novelty as for their earnest restatement
of facts which are too often overlooked but
which are of real Importance to the legal pro
fession, TO the cause Of legality and justice and
10 fbe general welfare of the community The
evils of the overcrowding of any profession
should be obvious The evils of a perversi0n
of the lawyers functions have been notorious
for two thousand years, and are frequently and
forcibly impressed upon the public mind at the
present time.
It Is quite true, as Mr.. Stetson suggested, that
the man who enters the legal profession pri-
marily or chiefly in order to make money selects
decidedly inferior medium for the attainment
of his end. There is no doubt that some law
yers do make much money and that some even
amass large fortunes. But they are few IN
deed compared with the whole number. 1t
seems quite safe TO say that the average law
yer, especially in large cities, makes less pecu-
MARY profit than he would if he devoted the same
ability and effort to trade or industry. That Is
partly because Of the overcrowding Of the pro-
fession. 1t is also partly, and indeed largely,
because of the intrinsic lack of money making
opportunities in pure legal practice. The vast
bulk of law work is essentially remunerat1ve
to only moderate degree.
All this is to be said on the suppOsition that
the lawyer is entirely honest and honorable. The
profession, of course. affords considerable op-
portunities for illicit gains. and the temptation
10 seek these Is always present and is peculiarly
strong for those who enter the profession
solely or chiefly for the sake Of making money.
That is the serious feature of the case. If a
man becomes lawyer and cannot make good
living at the bar, he alone is the sufferer. But
If, because Of that failure TO secure satisfac-
tory income by legitimate means or because OF
greed for greater gains he resorts to dishonor-
able or dishonest practices the whole com
munity is concerned. The administration OF
law and Justice is vitiated.
This latter consideration makes welcome every
such admonition as that of Mr.. Stetson. 1t also
makes It incumbent upon every law school to
insist upon such standards Of scholarship and
character as will discourage oyerCrowding of
the profession, and will, so far as possible, ex-
clude from If unworthy candidates. Every
graduate Of law school should he made to feel,
so far as faithful instruction can do II. that as
n lawyer he is. in fact, officer Of the court,
sworn to seek the enforcement of impartial JUS
tice and that for him to seek pecuniary gains
beyond legitimate compensation for honest ser
vices would he as reprehensble as for the Judge
on the bench 10 accept special remuneration
above his lawful salary.

IS WINTER HALF OFERt

Both popular proverb and scientific fact lead
one to associate the middle stage of winter with
the close Of the month ending. The saying
that on Candlemas Day February p the
farmer may expect half his oats and half his

fairly accurate observation for q considerable
period Official records, showing the average
temperature for each day in the year for thirty
ar forty wears indicate that the lowest dip oc

not infrequently emphasized by departures

tbe country, and in the other direction IN an

These peculiarties have been conspicuously
manifest during the last few weeks, The West
has suffered much more than the East from
snow, rain and cold and gales since the be
