A Safe Government.

1T is only by the laborers, the
criticism of men who have found the
living law, as it has been actually de-
veloped by the real transactions or
men-that our government may be
governed and guided on safe and pro-
gressive lines of jurisprudence devel-
oped along paths of natural, sound
and wholesome growth" declared the
attorney general. THE wise solu-
tions of such questions as these can
only be reached by men who are able
to deal with facts and principles as
compared with information acquired
and memory"
Mr.. Wickersham made an able ad
dress. In his opening words he de
clared he had been able to obtain
scant leisure from the duties of Off

By Associated Press.)

Cambridge, Mass, June 29.-The
college-trained lawyer will solve the
great legal and economic questions Of
government in this and the next gen.
Grafton. That is the opinion Of At
torney General Wickersham.
He will not be the man whose only
acquaintance with the principles of
law and government has been derived
from text books and lectures; such a
man would not be equipped to cope
with them. He must be the man
who has found the living law" as it
has been developed in the real trans
action of men. Except with possible
rare exceptions, the day of the plod-
ding student who read his Blackstone
in desultory unmethodical, inter-
rupted fashion from the musty shelves
of some practicing counsellor, is over.
Necessary Qualifications.
The college-trained lawyer of this
and coming generations who will solve
the problems of government is the
man who has mastered the principles
and doctrines of law as science
through the selection, classification
and analysis of adjudged cases in
volving their application.
The attorney general speaking here
today before the Harvard Law School
Association on the relation of legal
education to government problems
predicted that the lawyer who obtains
these qualifications, will be the man
who can successfully cope with the
great questions which will be present
ed for solution with the growth anc
expansion of this country.

To Justify Protection.

Whether it is the tariff, the trusts,
or the INSCRIPTIONS middlemen, alone
or together, that the crusade for low
er prices should be directed against,
1t is in any case a crusade against or
ganized s%elfshness. The consumer
has hitherto been unorganized. He Is
now setting on foot leagues and boy
colts. But it is an irony of fate that
Ohio, one of the citadels Of protection,
should now be the pioneer in a delib-
crate movement on the part of Amer
lean workingmen to lower their own
standard of living. The protectionist
scheme in which the selfishness Of
one class Is just to counterbalance
the selfishness of every other class
has broken down somehow. The only
logical position for the Republican
press should be to encourage work
ingmen to strike for higher wages,
clerks and school teachers for in
creased salaries, and the holders OF
small investments for higher divi'
dends. That is demanded by the
gospel. The tariff takes away but the
tariff also gives, and If it doesn't give,
why take by force what is due you
But Ohio's Republican press does not
preach strikes, and does advocate alb
stention from meat. The selfish con
sumner is now asked to put aside his
s~elfishness and diet for awhile, that
protection may be justified of Its
works.-New York Evening Post.

Massachusetts, in Revolt.

But 16 months ago the Fourteenth
Massachusetts district elected the Re-
publican William G. Lowering is rep
r~esentative by 1880 plurality. Fill
ing the vacancy caused by his death,
Eugene N. Foss, Democrat, was re-
Gently elected by 5,640 plurality.
There is nothing to soften to the
Lodge machine the blow of this anna,
zing reversal. Mr.. Foss was formerly
a Republican, but was read out of the
party four years ago by Senator Lodge
for heresy. In this election Mr.. Foss
ran as a straight Democrat. His is
sues were national; hatred of Aldrich-
ism and Cannonism, revolt against the
tariff, resentment against the cost of
living heightened to fatten privileges.
These issues are not local. They
have the same power to stir mems
souls in Ohio and Kansas that they
have in Massachusetts. After all its
splendid victories for 16 years, with
all it's prestige and it's power and it's
magnificent organization, Republican
ism is to-day fighting on the defensive.

PROVIDED BY THE PEOPLE
Magnificent Senatorial Clubhouse at
Washington a Sample Of Repub-
lIcan Economy.

For the good cheer of the 81 mem
bers of the United States senate a
palatial marble clubhouse, with a pri-
vate office for every senator, equipped
with every luxury imaginable, has just
been provided for a country grateful
that an occasional dollar of its earn
ings escapes the eagle eye of preda-
tory interests.
The building cost 100000, or
somewhat more than 100000 per SEN
ator. Thus does the nation care ten
derby for its 81 statesmen.
More than a score Of the senators
are millionaires. Already they belong
to the best clubs in Washington. They
are amply able to build their own
club. But no; their recreation must
be provided at the expense of the poor
taxpayer.
The cost of living is already out
rageous and growing every day. The
demand for economy is urgent. Yet
the poor, brokendown, INDECENT sena-
tors must have a $9,000,0 900 club at
public expense. And even that did
not satisfy them, for they sought to
add to the civil service pay roll a
corps of masseurs, that they might
enjoy free baths and relaxation OF
tired muscles at the taxpayers cost.
Isn't the spectacle of the mendicani
senators and their charity club a sigh
to make angels weep and strong mer
curse?

The president is said to have in

separately interested, each having or

undertaken by the ways and means
and finance committees, respectively,
which reported the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill favorably there will be sus-

For their own salvation, therefore, the
Republican managers must see that
others are appointed to these commit
tees.
If there is to be an investigation Of

taxation will be buried even deeper

The boundary between the United
States and Canada is more than 5000
miles long and cut by many ranges OF

Navigable rivers following their val

UNCLE JOE CANNON
HE ALSO SPEAKS WELL OF CAN
ADA.

-
No matter what may be the opinion
of Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter if
he may be looked upon by some as
a car, and by others as a big warm
hearted man, with many of the in
stincts that make humanity very bear
able, all will admit that he is a man
who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have to say therefore
on any subject, will have weight. OBJ
servant, he speaks his mind freely.
He was interviewed the other day by
the correspondent of a Canadian
newspaper. He spoke of his admiration
for Canada, and he is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly we'll the personaI
of the man. The correspondent says
he launched out into personal BIZ
ography, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal comment, cynical scorn, broad pro-
family and sentimental poetry such as
one rarely hears in the space of an
hour. He discussed the Canadian Ia
riff, and then said: people say l
break the Ten Commandments, all of
them. But l don't, at least not often.
/ did break n of them up in Canada
two or three years ago. AS I rode
from Winnipeg to the Rockies over
your great West and saw the finest
wheatfields in the world, ! thought Of
Virginia and a lot of our States, and
/ smashed the Tenth Commandment
| every hour of the journey. Yes, sir,
7 coveted my neighbours land" Com
ing from a man of the fame of Mr..
Cannon, these were words that should
have some weight with the Americans
who may still have doubts of the adj
vantages that are offered to them in
Western Canada. A home amongst
the wheatfields. Hundreds of thou
sands of Americans are adopting it.
They go to Central Canada, to any
one of the three Provinces Of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, or to
the Coast Province of British Column
bia, take up their homestead of 100
acres, and probably pre-empt another
100 acres, or it may be they do not
care for pioneering twenty or thirty
miles from an existing railway, and
purchase a farm. Then they settle
upon it and, having no clearing away
of timber they begin at once to cul-
tivate it, and make money. That they
make money and much more than
they could possibly make on the high
priced farms they have left, is the
evidence Of hundreds of thousands.
They do not leave civilized life, they
but remove from one sphere to an.
other. They have splendid social con.
ditions, churches, schools, rural tele'
phones, splendid roads, railways, con
venient just the same as what they
left, and what is more, they get much
greater returns from their crops
which give abundant yield. The eli
mate is perfect, and it is no wonder
!. that most flattering reports are sent
back to their friends in the States
and it is no wonder that Joe Cannon
was tempted to speak as he did. HI

Using Inauguration, the prestige of the
party in power-or, rather, that Of its
controlling organization-has fallen to
about as low an estate as it can fall
without precipitating the processes of
disintegration.
This condition of the party would be
certainly fatal but for the fact that
among the Republican leaders in con-
gress is a small but constantly enlar-
ging contingent of courageous men who
are standing by the people and by
what the people understood the party
platform to mean. Whatever prestige
the Republican party has at this time
with the masses of the people, more
especially in the great west, is due to
progressive leaders who hold out the
hope that they, in due course Of time,
will gain control Of the organization.
But instead Of recognizing the plain,
if disturbing truth, the leaders in con-
troll of the organization are attempting
to deceive the country which they al
ready have betrayed. Instead of adj
vancing legislation calculated to win
confidence and respect, ever such
measures as President Taft has recon-
mended are presented in such form as
