PETITIONS.

1t is said that the average person
viii sign his name to anything in the
shape OF q petition, even though he
IL directly opposed to the sentiments
set forth therein. Just at present
there is In circulation a petition ask
ing for the liberation, or at least re-
guessing leniency, for a mar who is
accused Of being the leader OF O gang
that has been terrorizing the city for
weeks. People have been held up,
stores and post offices have been
robbed and the members of the gang
have Dragged that they would eve
be taken alive. People living in the
northwestern section of the city have
Laid awake nights fearing attacks
from the desperadoes. Several times
when the police came in contact with
the gang they were fred upon and 1t
was only after a desperate battle that
the bandits we're captured. 1t was
not until those believed to be the
Ieada@s We're behind the bars In the
Jail at New Brunswick that the peo-
pie who have been living in terror
for the past several weeks have
dared to go to bed.
Yet now we are informed that a
Detitioa In In circulation asking that
the alleged leader Of this desperate
gang be shown leniency. On what
grounds we fail to see Had the very
signers OF this petition attempted to
approach these desperate men when
they were at large the fellow for
whom they o ask leniency would
probably have shot them in their
tracks. Yet, now they want him out

they have been criticising the police
for not capturing the gang. now they
want the men liberated.
Truly, human nature Is a strange
thing. II this petition was to urge
the Judge to send him away so that
there would be no further trouble
from him there would be M surprise,
Gnnko ask for leniency Is beyond all
comprehension. OF course, we real
sge that the petition will have nc

sasily swayed by such appeals. That

thought some people give to signing
their names. 1t only goes to show
how yalueless such a form of appeal
is.

is her expression, which is ever heeting

lsists of coiling and twisting the long
whip thong dexterously in midair.
With deft slash of the weapon, Mr..
Lindsay flicks the ashes from a cigar,
cuts bottle in halves, knocks the re-
volvers from the hands of a supposed
assailant, and then wind his whip
around the legs of man and pulls
fim to the ground. His skill with the
stock whip was acquired while travel
ing across the continent with cattle.
ut is q very dangerous weapon in
the hands of an unskillful man, for a
cut with the whip would take a mans
eye out" declares the bushman. "It is
likewise an excellent means of self
defense. For instance, 1 have had a
wild horse come tearing down upon
me at full speed with open mouth and
| have used the end of the whip with
a slashing crack on the forehead to
good advantage. The stock by the way
is a very interesting piece of work;

good one costs about $12 in American
money, and the lash about the same
amount. The lash is composed of
sixteen strands of kangaroo hide, beau

THE REAL TARIFF ISSUE

The consuming public can care but
little about President Taft's Tariff
Board and what it discovers either
abroad or here. The members OF the
Board are, no doubt. having the best
time in their lives and living in lux-
ury at the best hotels i'll the capitals
of foreign nations with Uncle Sam as
the liberal paymaster. What the
American people would like to know
is, whether or not there is any pros
pcct OF a decrease in the present high
cost of living. Since the best tariff
bilr' was passed in August, 1909,
prices have considerably advanced on
many articles which makes the pur-
chasing price of the dollar less than
it was under the Dingley Law.
What the voters have to decide
when they vote for candidates tor
the National House of Representa-
tivcs who will elect United States
Senators is. which party candidate
will vote for real tariff revision? The
Republican politicians even the In
s%urgents, declare that they are wed
ded to the protective policy, which
artifcally adds to the price OF nearly
all we buy because it prevents com
petition from abroad. The boosted
home competition between manufac'
turers has nearly vanished in conse
auence of the tariff-fostered COM
bines and trusts, which, it is evident
are banded together in restraint OF
trade.
The Democrats are pledged to re
duce the tariff to the revenue produc'
ing point which, while it will not
perhaps be low enough TO greatly
increase imports, will force the man.
nfacturers and the trusts and the
combines to reduce the price of their
products for fear of losing part OF
their trade to foreign competitors
These two propositions are the en-
tire tariff issues as far as the Ameri,
can is concerned, unless M
wants TO go into details of the tariff
tax on 1000 articles-more OF less
which is such a complicated matte
that even the experts disagree upor
it.

If the voters of the United States
had not for so many years submitted
to be plundered by the Republican
tariffs, each higher than the former
law, one would think that it would
be a certainty how they will vote on
this paramount issue. But the par
tisan spirit of the Republicans is
weakening under the insurgent blows
and the time for real reform seems
surely at hand. and confidence in
Democatic policies is growing apace
