UNCLE SANS RIDERS
FACE UPHILL WORK
At OLYMPIA SHOW
Army Entrants Hope to
Make Good Showing at
London Exhibition.

One of the most interesting features
of the Olympia International Horse
Show to be held in London in June
will be the horses in the army class,
entered for army officers.
The United States Government Is
anxious to make a good showing in
this class, but many experts fear they
will have a hard time to secure blue
ribbons, because the art of horseman-
ship is much further advanced in for
eign countries, particularly Belgium
Edward Everett, who was a promi-
nent figure here during the recent
successful National Capital Horse
Show, has been secured by the Gov
ernment to train the horses which the
Government will enter at the Olympia
show.
These animals are now at Fort
Myer. There are eighteen horses there
now which will be trained for Oiym-
pia, and besides these animals, there
are eight horses which were recently
especially purchased to represent the
United States army.
These horses are of the hunter type,
and were purchased for the Govern
ment to train and send to the London
show.
The officers who will go abroad are
among the best-known horsemen in
the United States, and all have had
experience in riding at horse shows.
The Washington times., 1911-05-11

cover such an inquiry as is needed;
but it is doubtful. If the committee
wants to know about the violations of
law in the past by the trust and by
other refners, it will get the facts
easily. They are of record, in court
proceedings and at the Treasury De-
partment.
1t may prove interesting, further,
to inquire why the trust has never
been effectively prosecuted. But it
will do mighty little good. The COM
mittee might call Richard olney, who
was Attorney General when the knight
case was decided, and ask him why
the Government did not put in its
full case under the Sherman law. But
would that do any good?
An investigation, sincere and honest,
of sugar economics, would be well
worth while. 1t is greatly needed.
The present sugar tariff policy is just
about as bad as possible. Under it
revenue is falling away every year
while trust profits are increasing and
the trust grip on the business is tight
ening.
We pretend to maintain sugar duties
for revenue-and then let in free the
immense tonnages of Porto Rico, the
Hawaiians, and the Philippines, while
giving the Cubans 20 per cent conces-
sion. True, the island possessions can
not be denied free admittance, but
the giving of it to them smashes the
revenue and also the protection pre-
tense back of the present schedule.
We will presently hear renewed ap-
peals in behalf of the sacred beet. But
the Sugar trust controls the beet
sugar industry and has made a politi-
cal harlot of it.
The law pretends to impose $l.675
duty per 100 pounds on sugar of SO
per cent purity; but, taking into ac-
count all sugars that come in free or at
reduced duties, the average duty actu-
ally paid is only about s5 cents. That
is average protection of the home in
dustry, and the home industry, over
capitalized and overexploited, is do
ing well.
These are the conditions that need
investigation. Why does sugar cost
us so much-near twice what it ought
Cannot the sugar policy be readjusted
to give the public something like a
square deal? These are the living
issues that need illumination, not the
ancient question of illegal practices
which no penalty can now reach.

ECCENTRICITIES OF THE
SUMMER SERMON.

One of the infallible signs that sum-
mer is almost in our midst is the
choice of sermon subjects with which
the minister tries SO hard to keep the
congregation awake while the sun siz-
zles and the flies drone. Of course, it
is all very well to dwell on justifica-
tion by faith, original sin, and other
doctrinal discourses, so long as there
is something eager and nipping in the
air and the attention is kept alert.
But when the lazy days come, with a
yawn in every breeze, the pulpit
orator, no matter how gifted, has to
strain like a draft horse to hold his
audience.
Subjects, striking if not positively
eccentric, are, therefore, beginning to
appear in the headlines of the Mon
day morning papers. We read that
the pastor of fashionable church took
as his text, "The wheels have eyes,"
or There shall be no more sea-" and
expounded it, greatly to the delight of
large number of-readers. In one
issue of the Chicago Tribune we read
that one minister warned his congrega-
tion against marrying either a genius
or a gentleman, while another advised
that they intimate the ''constancy and
purity of song" of the mockingbird.
In these two subjects there is un-
doubtedly more food for thought than
could be put into two moral sand
wiehes. Several Sunday mornings
might easily be devoted to a discus
sion as to what is a genius and what
is a gentleman. In the first category
one might begin with the definition of
a genius as a man with the capacity
for making other people do his work,
and then try the process of elimina
tion by asking:
When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?
1t may seem overbold to throw a
damper OF the uplift work of the Sec
ond pastor, and yet we dare express
the hope that no large percentage of
the general public will attempt to fol-
low his advice as to initiating the
mockingbird. If such a pie were
opened and the birds began to sing,
the nerves, if not the immortal soul,
of the world would be placed in cruel
jeopardy, and we fear for the result.
As substitute for the eccentric sum-
mer sermon, why not let it be Pc
culiar in its brevity, with 'Greenland's
Icy Mountains" as recessional?

WILL JUAREZ PROVE AN.
OTHER YORKTOWNs

Juarez may prove a Yorktown, OF
Saratoga; or it may prove inconse'
quential. Saratoga saved the colonies
from being cut in twain along the
Hudson -Champlain line; the capture oi
Juarez by Madero gives the insur'
rectos control of a port of entry, a
seat of their provisional government
and, what is perhaps most important
of all, gives them the upper hand in
the northern territory of Mexico. This
will probably prove an insurance
against any more serious conflicts on
the border of this country, and a
means to lessening the probability o.
American intervention.
Our information about detailed con-
ditions in Mexico is on the whole
rather meager. Of late it has come to
be generally understood that a vast
preponGerance of the people are in
sympathy with the revolution, though
not nearly all its sympathizers have
the courage of their convictions. Such
victory as that which won Juarez
can only have one effect in such a
situation. 1t will consolidate the ma
tional sentiment and generally
strengthen the hands of the insurgent
leaders.
In the southern states of the re-
public, almost unknown to the people
in this country because means of COM
munication are so meager, the condi-
tions are understood to be bad and
growing worse, from the viewpoint OF
the Diaz administration. About the
national capital the insurrectos are
bold, active, and menacing. An as
sault on Mexico City itself has seemed
hardly possible; yet cooperation be-
tween the organized rebels on the out
side and their sympathizers inside
might very possibly bring crisis there
which would end the rebellion in a
Ic" udSS, anu dSSoHiPlloh icNOlutloH'
Old Porfrio Diaz, grim, unyielding,
his back against the wall,
defying everything, presents a figure
that commands both admiration and
pity; but in the United States, as in
Mexico, it less and less dominates the
sympathies of the people.
Francisco 1. Madero played a magnifi-
cent bit of politics when he assumed
the most lenient attitude toward his
prisoners taken at Juarez, told them
that he realized they were fighting be-
cause they were compelled to do so,
for a cause they did not love, and
forecast an early juncture when all
Mexicans would be restored to the old
fraternal relations. That address is
certain greatly to strengthen the posi-
ton of Madero both at home and
abroad

they were all ostracized for their

legislature without opposition.

OF THE ACCUSED TO
FAIR TRIAL.

In a petition filed in the District
Supreme Court by the attorneys for
Policeman A. B. Clark is recited a
story of conditions whirh, if true,
should cause a speedy revolution in
the methods of procedure of the police
trial board and in the practice of the
Commissioners in accepting the boards
findings without thorough considera-
tion of the evidence adduced at its
trials.
The petition states that when
Policeman Clark's case was called
for trial he asked to have it con-
tinued on the ground that his at
torney could not be present that day.
He was entitled to one continuance
under the police regulations and the
practices of the board, but his request
was declined, and he was forced to
stand trial without the assistance of a
lawyer. The witnesses against him
were put on the stand, but his wit
nesses, who were present, were not
called.
Clark's attorney filed notice of an
appeal within the prescribed time. In
reply he received a letter informing
him that the Commissioners had ap-
proved the findings of the trial board
and would not grant hearing. The
attorney has definitely established,
and the Commissioners have ad-
mitted, that the evidence taken at the
trial had not been Transcribed and
was not before the Commissioners at
the time their action was taken. On
this showing Clark obtained writ of
certiorari from the District Supreme
Court, which stopped the collection of
the fine of $40 imposed and placed
upon the Commissioners the burden of
showing that his trial had been con-
Quoted according to law and to the
police regulations.
This the Commissioners have not
attempted to show, although the writ
was issued two months ago.
The Constitution of the United States
contains a pretty fair guide to public
servants endowed with judicial func-
tions. 1t says:
In all criminal prosecutions the ac-
cused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial, by an impartial jury,
in the State and district wherein the
crime shall have been committed.
which district shall have been previously
ascertaiped by law, and to be informed
of the nature and cause Of the accusa-
tons; to be confronted with the wit
nesses against him; to have compul-
sorry process for obtaining witnesses in
his favor, and to have the assistance
of counsel for his defense.
Of course, technically, the trial of
an accused policeman by trial board
is not necessarily a criminal prosecu-
tion," but it comes mighty close to
it; SO close, in fact, that the theory
of fair trial, propounded by the
trainers of the Constitution, and cher
ished for l23 years by the people, may
be applied to it with the utmost pro-
priety.
