DEFENSE OF COLD STORAGE.

That there is an absolute need of
cold storage and that it is of great
benefit to the people-to producer and
consumer, if properly conducted-there
is no doubt. A cold storage official.
writing the New York Tribune, said:
Nearly all food products at certain
times of the year are actually a glut
on the market In the earlier days the
farmer raised them only for seasonable
demand, and any excess beyond the
public needs rotted and went to waste.
Now, through the medium of the cold
storage industry, the farmer, cattleman
and fisherman may produce at the sea-
son more than the public requires and
place 1t at the disposal of the people
throughout the unproductive periods"
This is true enough. There is no
complaint about cold storage except as
it is used to the detriment of the pub
lie health and through monopoly and
speculation to extort unfair or extra
ordinary prices from the people.
As an aid for the cornering and
keeping of many kinds of food it has
played a rogue's part towards the peo-
pie Cornering any kind of provender
or fruit to keep the prices high has
always been regarded as a crime, and
it always should be. There was a day
when this kind of a criminal was
punished by having his ears cut Off
We are living in a more mercifu1 age,
but the offense is none the less wrong
or odious.

MaternaI Riohts vindicated.

1t is with a feeling of something like
escape from personal humiliation that
one reads the decision of the South
Carolina supreme court in the Tiilman
case. Had the decision been the other
way-that is, if the court had upheld
the state law which permitted young
Tillman to hand his children over TO
the custody of his own parents, regard
less CT the wishes and in spite OF the
protests of their Inother-the deep
disgrace of South Carolina would have
been shared in some degree by the
whole country of which South Carroll
ma is a part, and a certain measure Of
it would have fallen on every citizen
of country in which legal sanction
could be found for an act so cruel, so
barbarous and SO unwiSe-
But the court, fortunately, found a
way to save itself, its state, and the
United States-aIl of US, in short
from the obloquy ard contempt that
would have followed the upholding of
tnis abominable statute. It took the
children from the guardians selected
by the father, a man admittedly OF
habits as likely to impair his judgment
as to make his conduct intolerable, and
restored them to the mother. a woman
of whom much good has been said and
nothing worse than that for what
seem to have been suffi cient reasons

The task of self government becomes
all the harder when tempest sweeps
the ancient landmarks away. In Eng
land for example, the problem of alter
ing the constitution to suit new needs
has been posed in the clearest form
The hereditary principle. on which the
legislative prerogatives of the peers are
based, cannot survive in this shape.
How, then is the upper house to be re-
formed along modern lines without re-
moving all checks from whips Of the
commons? The closest philosopher
will answer the question off hand, but
the practical statesman will think
twice and thrice before ne breaks with
ideals which have their roots deep in
the past. Admitting that the heredi-
tary legislator must go, what KIND or a
legislator is to be put In his place
And assuming that no bounds are to
be set to the might of the commons,
what sort of a safeguard are minorities
to have? The Englishman, finding MS
rights imperilled by the majority of the
hour. cannot seek refuge in the courts,
as the American can; for the judges
may construe, but may not nullffy, acts
of parliament, however absurd and op-
pressive the chance may be- The Brit
ish democracy is face to face with one
of those issues which transcend the
largest issue which the ordinary budget
present. At such a crisis the depth
of a democracy's soul are searched. In
peace, as in war, it is the ability to
to take punishment that counts and a
free people has sometimes to endure
those ills it has, rather than rush TO
others that It knows not of.-New Or

The Rhode Island Automobile Law.

The current issue of Law Notes re-
marks that "a model statute aimed at
drivers of automobiles is the Rhode
Island act of May 26, 1905" with es-
pecial reference to the provision which
requires that a driver after knowing
" causing an accident shall
forthwith bring his motor vehicle to a
full stop. reurn to the scene of the ac-
cident and give to any proper person
demanding the same" all necessary in
formation for later identification. This
provision has had at least one test, and
a convicdtion under it has been sus-
tanned. Law Notes observes that in
intent IL is closely comparable to the
prescription in the federal navigation
laws respecting the duty of masters of
vessels in cases of collision, although
of course the penalty under the federal
statute Is much more severe than that
Of the automobile law. Considering
how general has been the commenda-
ton for the state statute, It Is proper
to recall that the largest measure of
credit for it's preparation and passage
is due to George @. Phillips of Coven-
try, a member who, serving the first
of his two terms in the assembly at
the time, devoted himself assiduously

AS IN VERMONT, so ELSEWHERE

Speaker Cannon must realize that
he has grossly incensed the people by
the way he has dealt with honest con-
gressmen who stand for the people,
interest, and held up mea sures which
were close to their hearts. No repub-
1ican speaker ever had the republicans
OF New England so prejudiced against
him as has Mr.. Cannon. The Springfield
Republican calls attention to the fact
that the Vermont newspapers ap-
prove the declaration of Congressman
Foster that the people of his state
are against the reelection of Speaker
Cannon. There is no doubt about the
fact in Vermont and all New England
The country desires the retirement OF
the m enber from Illinois from his die
tatorship over the national house of
representatives, and it is for him to
say what form the election shall take.
His punishment of members who
freed themselves from his yoke con-
stituted proof of the charges of intol-
Grant rule that have been brought
against him. 1t takes time for the
people to sense situation like this,
but they are not dull as Mr.. Can
non assumes them to be. Perhaps the
republicans may not control the next
house. but if they do, Speaker Cannon
cannot be reelected. If they do not,
the way will be opened in time for a
better than Cannon. Whether going
or coming. his end is in sight"
The republicans all over this section
of country are opposed to his continu-
ance as speaker of the house; and the
feeling in Vermont fairly represents
the feeling in the other five states.

ELEVEN MILLIONS IN BATTLE
SHIPS.

The civilized nations are all wasting
wealth in battleships because of the
fear that they will not be prepared in
case of war and the millions that are
being FILTERED away annually to keep
our navy up and our nerves quiet is
something tremendous
This year Uncle Sam is to put
s11.ooo.o00 into two super-Dread-
naughts and every year as many mil
lions are lost because these battle
ships have become obsolete and are
only worth the price of old metal. 1t
only takes ten years to make battle
ship too o1d-fashioned for fighting
purposes. hence the depreciation is
great.
In this Christian age, what is almost
equivalent to the total grand taxable
list of Norwich Is wasted because the
spirit of vengeance Is a greater force
among the nations than the spirit of
love of which we pirate so much and
manifest SO little faith in.
The danger of war is imminent be-
cause the nations believe more in the
efficiency of great guns and bayonets-
In the force of arms. than the Father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man. The Christian nations have more
confidence in their fighting men than
in their Christian principles.
This great sum of money in indus
tries or national improvements would
be a source Of progress and thrift;
but as the price for preparedness for
defence it is one continuous leakage
which is not particularly creditable to
our religious pretences.

The Two Pies.


Ruth, who has been married just two
weeks, lives in a little fat on Con-
gress street and there keeps house for
her lord and master. She has read a

On Sunday. after their dinner had been
served by the wife. she went to the
kitchen and returned with a pumpkin
pie.

He attacked the CONNECTION with a

much Roadway and was about to de-
clare himself when Ruth announced:

She then produced the second pie,
which was as tender ard 'appetizing as
the first had been tough and unsa-

against the proposed income tax
amendment to the constitution Mr..
Edmund's reasoning is, in part, that

THE VICE PRESIDENTS coNTEN.

Whether Vice President Sherman's
endeavor to have Gen. Fred Grant rec
o-gnized as q veteran of the civil war
$ lust TO keep him in the public eye,
or to confer an honor upon the general
which he does not want. is not certain.
Il appears that Fred Grant, as a kid
in his fathers camp at Vicksburg,
was wounded The man behind the
gun which sent g bullet into the young
boys snatony was Caleb Perry,
Massachusetts sharpshooter connected
with the union forces. At the begin
ming OF the siege, Perry was stationed
above the regular union forces on the
Mississippi river, with orders to shoot
all persons and craft attempting to
pass without permission. The boy
Grant and q companion, on the night
Of February 20. 1863, were out in
canoe and IN returning they passed
the SPOT where the sharpshooter lay
concealed. They did not heed the warn
ings Of Perry to stop. and, after firing
INTO the air. he took aim and wounded
young Grant
Perry, who died short time ago,
always claimed that General Grant
was almost moved to tears when he
found that his son had un~ittingly
strsyed into the trap set by the union
forces for confederate soldiers, and the
outcome of the affair was that Fred got
more Of q reprimand than had been
originally intended for Perry.
In opposing Vice President Sher-
nan.s proposition, DR.. Blake says:
7 haven't the least desire to de-
tract one 5ot from General Grants
fame, and for that matter it would be
impossible, since he is one Of the big
gest figures in the army today. But
the fact remains as nearly as I can
determine with accuracy, that he never
was q veteran and that his only part
IN the war was that Of a boy inhabit-
ing his fathers camp Therefore, the
idea to honor him for wounds received
is ridiculous I have every reason to
believe, from Perry's account, that
Grant was merely a member OF his
fathers camp. and that he neither
bore the title nor the uniform of
captain
General Grant is not taking any
interest In this affair. and there doesn't
seem 20 be any sense to the endeavor
- magnify a boys pranks into some
thing OF merit 1t is not likely Gen.
T. d Grant can do more than laugh
at such q project as this.
