LAWMAKERS WANT FACTS.
They Also Show Some Regard for
Popular Sentiment.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch
Lawmakers nowadays seek informa-
tion. They are not eager to act unless
they have all the facts and have care
fully sounded popular judgment. Blind
approval of party measures because they
are party measures cannot be counted
on. So we find a tariff commission
gathering information for the use Of the
President, If not of Congress. A none
tary commission has been for more than
two years engaged in studying the cur
rency and banking problems and gather
ing the views OF the public.
States have studied employers liability
and workingmen's compensation for in
juries. The study Of railroad and tax
measures is made in the same way and
in every case the effort to secure in
formation is supplemented by another to
ascertain the views Of as many inter-
ested organizations and individuals as
possible.
A similar movement having a similar
purpose springs from the people them
selves. In addition to the regular or
ganiZations having particular reforma-
tory measures to put into law. there are
Spe-
cial purposes whose achievement ends
their existence. The National Citizens
Committee exists to urge the confrma-
ton Of the pending arbitration treaties
by the Senate. 1t is equipped with Of
hcers, financed and sends speakers where
it is thought they can create sentiment
that will react to influence the Senate.
The National Citizens League for the
Promotion Of a Sound Banking System.
with headquarters In Chicago. has be-
gun a nationwide organization with the
idea of educating the people in the i'm
portance of a better banking system. 1t
is nonpartisan, has nothing to do with
the monetary commission, or the Aldrich
plan and has no plan or its own.
These movements attest the regard the
lawmakers have come to have for the
people.

Fathers and Sons.

One of the golf clubs in the vicinity
of Philadelphia gave a tournament the
other day IN which all the players were
fathers and sons, who, as partners, con-
tested for family honors. The result
was most successful The seniors
struggled manfully to help their sons,
while the latter relied upon the cold
mar" to win holes where youthful skill
and muscle had failed. After the event
the young and the old gathered to-
gether and reioiced in victory or SYM
pathized in defeat.
There is hardly any outdoor sport
except golf in which this delight
ful eompanionship is possible Il is
a game which is not as strenuous as
tennis, nor 30 physically sxhausting as
baseball. and IN which age Is by no
means a serious handicap While Il
requires some degree Of supple muscles.

Fascination of a Tragedy.

1t is a curious psychological fact that
a mysterious tragedy grips the human
mind. Edgar Allan Poe's romances,
"The Murders of the Rue AIorgue" and
THE Mystery of Marie Roget" sur
vivc when nearly all his other literary
efforts are forgotten. They are the
prototypes of the modern detective tales
and are told with great skill In later
years enterprising novelists, who ap-
preciate the fascination of a tragedy,
have made fortunes by narrating the
story of a mysterious death and then
holding the attention of the reader while
the enigma lis skilfully solved. This is
especially true of Conan Doyle and
Anna Katherine Green. whose works
have a vogue which would not be pos
sible were it not that they know the
financial as we'll as the literary value
Of tragic mysteries.
At the present time Washington has
its murder mystery. A reputable mer-
chant, apparently without an enemy in
the world. is stricken down in his place
OF business at an early hour in the even
ing by some unknown person who
leaves no clew by which the fatal act
can be traced, except. possibly. a heavy
iron wrench with which the deed was
committed. There were no witnesses
of the tragedy More than that. only
9ne or two persons seem 90 have no.

With Independent Minds.

An interesting feature of the new
system of jury service for women in
Los Angeles occurred the other day
when feminine jury listened to the
evidence in the case of an employe
whose wages had been retained for a
period longer than warranted by law
Much to the surprise of the jurywomen
the judge directed them to return a
verdict for the defendant
Did they obey the court? Not at all
They retired to their consultation room
and then came in with a verdict for the
plaintiff. The court gasped at this dis
obedience and ungallantly repeated hi:
instructions. The jurywomen revolted
They had heard the evidence, they knew
that the defendant was guilty, they had
been brought from their homes to de-
eide the case, and. they did not propose
to let any judge tell them what they
should do. They had minds of their
own, if you please, and they were going
to render their own verdict,
The hard-hearted judge listened in
vain to their protest and directed that
his instructions be followed; which was,
of course, the final outcome of the mat
ter. We cannot help but sympathize,
however, with the good women who
were willing to sacrifice themselves upon
the altar of their own opinion. If the
judge was to be both judge and jury,
why were they summoned, and why
were they compelled to listen intently
to the testimony? We are afraid that
they will feel discouraged and that the
next summons for jury duty will be
tossed into the kitchen CRATE.

Personalities and Passports.

There is no question as to the rea-
sonableness of the demand that Russia
should recognize American passports or
else Our treaty with that country should
be abrogated- We have protested long
enough. Time and time again the at
tention of Russia has been called to the
fact that discrimination is made against
certain class of American citizens,
but our communications have been ig-
nored. 1t is no wonder that a wave
of protest against this condition of af-
fairs is sweeping over the country.
And it may be true. as Mr. Jacob
II. SchIff asserts, that the reason why
this government has failed to press the
matter with earnesness is a desire not
to embarrass business interests. We
are not surprised, however, to find Mr.
John Hays Hammond promptly and
emphatically denying that he is the
principal factor in the situation. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Schiff, Mr.. Hammond
is close friend of President Taft, and
as he went to Russia to assist some
business enterprises, that country
thinks it can influence the President
of the United States"
As matter of fact, Mr.. Hammond
has had nothing whatever to do, even
in a remote fashion, with the exclusion
OF Jews from Russia. He is too good
an American to be party to any prop
osition which injuries American citizens.
IT did not need his denial to make this
fact plain.
