There have been plenty OF them

Alfred LytteIfOn,

Alfred Lyttelton, former Colonial
secretary, who has figured prominent
ly in the British election campaign,
was born February Z, 1857, and is
the son of the fourth Lord Lyttelton.
He was edpcated at Elton and Trinity
College, Cambridge, and is a barris-
ter and bencher of the Inner Temple.
He was legal private secretary to Sir
Henry James, attorney general from
1882 to 1886, recorder of Hereford
in 1894, and recorder of Oxford in
1895. Mr.. Lyttelton was a famous
amateur athlete in his day, and was
captain of the Elton and Cambridge
cricket elevens, represented Cam
bridge university in cricket, football,
tennis and other sports, and England
in cricket and football. For three
years he was the holder of the British
amateur tennis championship.

President Taft wants to know a

President Taft wants to know as
nearly as may be known the causes
for the high cost of living. He has
made it known that he wishes the in
vestigation to include an inquiry into
the bearing of the tariff on this ques-
ton. If the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
is responsible he wants to know it.
This desire is in accordance with the
presidents declared position on the
tariff question. He does not favor a
general revision of the tariff at some
subsequent time, but he has express
ed his willingness to recommend cor
rections in particular schedules when
they have been proved to be made
quate to the purposes for which a
tariff is levied-namely, revenue and
necessary protection to American in
dustry.

RESPECT FOR LAW.

BY permitting the law to take its
course with respect to two negro
ravishers, one community in Missouri
has set a wholesome example fol-
other communities in the union Pun
ishment by the orderly process OF
law is just as effective and doubt
less no less dreaded by the culprits
as lynching. Every time a lynching
occurs the community that partici-
pates in it takes a backward step
toward barbarism This kind of pun
ishment leaves a train of lawlessness
in its wake, which years cannot ef-
face.

The administration is gravely con-
cerned, according to Washington adj
vices, over the treatment which the
Alaskan government bill has received
at the hands of the senate committee
on territories, which in amending the
measure has practically defeated the
purpose of the president. In the
opinion of the administration, so
long as the affairs of Alaska are
left to the immediate direction of
congress there will de maintained
an unsavory lobby in Washington
and improper influences will be
brought to bear to obtain legisla-
ton inimical to the best interests of
the district. The remoteness of AL
aska and the inability of members
of congress to judge of the merits
of the legislation urged contribute
chiefly to this result. Holding this
view the administration caused a
measure to be prepared which con-
ferred on a commission, to be ap-
pointed by the president, the power
to prescribe most of the laws, sub
ject to the approval of congress.
The influence which the great in
terests of Alaska are always able
to exert in Washington have been
utilized to defeat the purpose of the
president, but it is hoped that the
desired bill will be passed by the
house and that the mistakes may
be corrected in the conference COM
mittee.
