certain strenuous New York politician
during the last campaign. Andrew G.
Parr, solicitor. of Glasgow, who is AZ
the New Willard, said last night: "A
curious system prevails In Scotland.
where all the judges Of the high courts
have TO undergo a probation before their
appointment is made definite By an old
rule. the judges. on nomination, are re-
quired to sit for two or three DAYS with
one OF the puisne judges. and to report
on cases heard there to the Inner House.
that IL to say, to the Court Of Appeals.
and then to sit for one day In the In
ner House and TO give an opinion on the
cases debated there There have been
several cases where the inner House has
rejected new Judge nominated BY the
government, on the score OF hts not pos
sessing the necessary qualities for a seat
on the bench. But Of late years the men
chosen by the state for the Office OF Law

their probation has become more or less. Of
a formality, and there is the least pos
sible delay in transforming the nominee

titles him to the title of lord and his
wife TO the prefix lady for the remainder
OF their respective lives.

said Mr.. Parr, ''it is decidedly bad taste.

"Aristide BRAND, the premier of
France" said Edouard Brouot. OF Paris.
who is at the shoreham, lis one Of the
strongest statesmen France has had since
1870. He is an orator of extraordinary
power and eloQuence and Of persuasive
ness that always carries the house with
him. He is not member of the Paris
bar, but started out In life as a lawyer
In small provincial town, and when he
came TO Paris turned his attention 10
politics and TO journalism. rather than
law. He became in course of time editor
OF La Lanterne. and has been in ParIia-
ment since 1902. That is to say. he has
mace mis- way 10 the very head OF public
aIairs IN France during the brief eight
years that constitute the terms so far of
his official life."
Commenting on the election. NJ Brouot
who is silk manufacturer and exporter
expressed his undisguised delight al the
success OF the Democratic party. THE
Republican party In power IN America"
SAID the Frenchman, always means a
| night on European products, or account
OF that party's high-tariff proclivities.
European exports to the United States
ever since the Republican party re-en-
tered into power sixteen years ago has
fallen on considerably. We had To cut
our profits in order 10 be able to com
pete with the American home product.
The truth Of the matter is that in some
instances ii is hardy worth while TO seek
American markets.
The Democratic party is a free trade
and low-tarif party. It is looked upon
with greater favor abroad than Is the
Republican party. for the simple reason
that European manufacturers and ex-
porters will again have an opportunity
10 enter the American market proftably
There Is only one drawback now. and
that is the Senate is still Republican,
and so Is the Executive. We are hoping
In France that the next President of the
United States VIII be a Democrat"
John Y. Carter, Of Montreal, Canada,
who has extensive financial interests in
the region OF Hudson Bay. Is at the
Arlington in speaking Of the resources
Of the Bay, he said recently:
THE whole Of the vast network OF
lakes and rivers west OF Hudson Bay IS
fun Of whitefsh, trout, sturgeon, and
other marketable fish. Communication
with the outside world Is all that is
needed TO encourage a development SINH
lar &c that which has already occurred
on the great lakes OF Manitoba. Even
greater are the potentialities OF the fish
ing in the Bay itself Except for the
whale, the waifus. and porpoise fisheries
prosecuted In the extreme north Of the
Bay, there has never been any systematic
attempt to exploit or even ascertain its
resources.
THE development OF the fisheries"
continued Mr.. Carter. will incidentally
serve very useful purpose in finding
profitable employment for the Indians.
The government of Canada has always
prided itself on its fair treatment OF the
aboriginal population. and even makes
praiseworthy attempts 10 promote their
education and to teach them the rudi-
ments OF industry and agriculture. But
IL is OF little use 10 take an Indian boy
and teach him TO read and write 20 be-
come carpenter or farmer, and thea
where he can make no use of his knoWl-
edge, and only suffers by finding himself
inferior TO his neighbors as trapper or
fisherman II would be far be. .er for
the Indians If the government would de-
vote its efforts 10 utilizing their inner
| Tied capacities as a means Of develop
ment. IL might, for instance, help in
establishing some cooperative machinery
10 enable them 10 market their FISH on
good terms. and might train them in
bodybuilding and other occupations &C
cessory 10 fishing Similarly, too, il
might develop the native talent for dress
ing and embroidering leather on profitable
lines, giving them some guidance with
regard to the most salable articles and
designs. and helping to put them into
touch with promising markets"
II. for one, do not for one instant
believe that Col. Roosevelt has been
killed politically" said Herman S. stiner.
of New York, at the Riggs last night
ION the contrary. l fully believe that
public sentiment within a short time will
undergo a reversal, and in looking for the
cause of the Republican defeat, will dis
cover that Roosevelt was not at all re-
sponsible for the Republican Waterloo
and that HIS progressive policies are sue
cessful, and / further believe that those
who worked against him will be showed
under. Roosevelt will grow stronger than
ever and will be the logical candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomination in
1912. Stranger things than that have hap
pened in politics. The public Is awfully
fickle-minded. Even though he said on
the night of his election in 1904 that he
intended 10 retire and would not be a
candidate for another term. he would not
be the first candidate who had the nomi-
