A Lesson In Grammar.

Barbara Brown, the pretty schoolma'am
Sweetly grave, with book and rule,
Gave me private English lessons
In the schoolroom after school.
"What's a noun?' asked she demurely.
"Why, a name" She bowed her head
"Give me one, single and proper"
you may have mine, DEAR" l said.
"Can you a~nalyze," she questioned,
Cooily sweet her voice and clear.
ssThe first sentence here love your"
'That is simple, Barbara, dear"
81, of course, we know, is subject;
Loves the verb, and active, too,
And the object why, the object
OF that active love is you."
"You have left out something surely"
Cried this charming little miss,
Half confused. whats next, l wonder2'
Casually" said |, "a kiss"
Up she sprang and said severely: 4

I will look your answers over,
And h~ope-you'v W done-your best"
Long | sat there waiting, wondering;
Then she turned-dear little lass
And. with eyes brimful of mischief,
Whispered, Jack, | th%ink-you'n pass!'

One of the most striking matters in
public affairs in recent years is the lack
of democratic principles given out in
the decisions of the U. S. Supreme
Court, even by members who We're ap-
pointed as Democrats. The decision
in the Standard Oil case has hamstrung
the antitrust law and shows that the
Courts decision does little harm. It
will be necessary to have a different
kind of President to pick mel more
versed in democratic opinions and prin-
ciples than laws on which gigantic
corporations are built.

There were 80 many changes in the
laws made at the last legislature that
every man needs to become a law stu
dent during the next six months in
order to intelligently exercise his citi-
zenship. But for the free legal inform
alton the publishers of newspapers are
giving, the people would be left in
woeful ignorance Why should not
publishers be paid for publishing a
synopsis of the laws for public informa-
ton? They should be entitled to more
t han the mere pittance of a 81 a year
subscription.

The U. S. Supreme Court has de-
cided that the Standard Oil Company
is q corporation acting in ~"unreason-
able restraint of trade" In other
words it Ia q bad trust and must dissolve
in six months. From that decision it

well as bad ones. They have not come

A Reform House of Representatives.

Washington, May 17-(Special. in
six weeks the Democratic House OF
Representatives has passed more pro-
gressive and antitrust legislation than
the Republicans passed in fourteen
years. administration of that branch of
Congress.
The achievement up to date includes
the passage Of a bill providing for the
publicity Of campaign contributions
before instead of after elections; the
election of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people; reciprocity
with Canada and the farmers free list
bill, with other similar legislation to
follow promptly.
Agitation for much of this legislation
has been going on for years. The Re-
~publicans heard this demand OF the
people for this relief, but could not
enact such legislation as has been pass
I'd by the Democratic House because
they had for years been receiving enor-
nous campaign contributions from the
tariff trusts and other interests which
are opposed to progressive legislation of
the character passed by the Democrats.
The Republicans have not only been
obliged not to interfere with the mon-
oplies and profits Of the tariff trusts but
because OF having accepted campaign
funds from the great corporations they
have been practically compelled to ex-
tend to them immunity from investi.
CATION as well as prosecution.
More than a scole of resolutions pro
viding tor the investigation of the steel
trust, the sugar trust and other big
industrial combines were introduced in
every session Of Congress while the
Republicans were in power. These
resolutions, mi and all, were referred
to committees that have been specially
packed by Speaker Cannon with nell
friendly to special privilege, with the
result that all such resolutions died in
committee.
Now it is different. For the first
time since the trust question has been
acute, the House of Representatives has
an antitrust majority.
The result is that the big committees
are named by men who are free to go
ahead and investigate, and if the evil
dence warrants, to take the proper
steps toward bringing about the prose-
cution of illegal combinations in exist
eDce in restraint of trade.
For the first time in a good many
wears the Capitol of the United States
will soon be the scene OF honest invest. /
ieations of the industrial trusts of the
country.
Heretofore it has been impossible for |
the government to control the trusts
because the trusts controlled the gov
eminent, Now it Ia to be determined 4
whether the government of the people /
or special privilege shall occupy the
saddle.
WHAT FREE LIST BILL is
Upon close investigation the ''farm-
arr, free listn bill becomes a mighty |
interesting measure. 1t INTAKES many
articles the farmers use, but it means
about Is much to all other consumers.
ItNputs 100 articles of common use OIL
the free list and it is estimated that it
viii save the public some $500, 0O0,O O0.
The measure won't hit the revenues
hard. either. The tariff is nearly pro-
hibitiye on the 100 articles concerned,
so that tho custom gets only $1,50O,OO0
from this source.

SOLO AS BABY FOR $4,000
Now Lamar Washington Sues For a
Share of Uncle's 100000 Estate.

Macon. Ca. Feb. .14-Sold when a
baby for $4,000 by his father to his
wealthy uncle and reared by that
uncle as his own child, Lamar Wash
ington Of New York has filed suit to
recover a part Of his uncle's estate.
Lamar Washington's father is Col.
w. H. Washington, an attorney of
Nashville, Tenn, and the uncle was
Henry ]. Lamar, who was one Of the
wealthiest men of Macon. his fortune
being estimated at 100000. Col.
Washington married the favorite sis
ter Of Henry ]. Lamar and she died
soon after the birth of Lamar Wash
ington. Henry Lamar wanted the boy
for his mothers sake and Col. Wash.
ington transferred his baby son to the
uncle in consideration Of $4,000. These
facts are set forth in the suit.
Henry J. Lamar treated the boy as
his own son, educated him at univer-
stiles here and in Europe, and gave
him large Sums, and willed him one
being left to other relatives. Miss
Julia Lamar and S. r. Lamar, uncle
and aunt Of Lamar Washington, were
made executors of the estate by Hen
ry Lamar's will.
The will provided that if Lamar
the consent of his aunt he should for
felt all rights under the will. A few
years ago Lamar Washington, then liv-
ing in New York, married Miss Lucille
Graves Osborne of that city. He says
his aunt knew of his engagement to
Miss Osborne and made no protest.
After the marriage, however, his aunt
and uncle refused to turn over any
portion of the estate to him, on the
ground that he had married without
obtaining his aunt's written consent.
Lamar Washington says that his aunt
has been moved to take the position
she has bv undue influence.
The Lamars and the Washingtons
are leading families Of Georgia and
Tennessee.

iff and the revenue tariff with Incl
dental protection are practically the
same, though these names are often
used as indicating differing policies.
In a speech delivered during the de-
bate on the Aldrich tariff. Hon. Champ
Clark who Is to be the Speaker Of
the next House. defined tariff duties
very clearly:
I will tell you the truth about reve-
nue. tariff and protective tariff very
briefly. Up to a certain point. on
any article that is made in the United
States as well as abroad. a tariff rate
is both a revenue rate and a protec-
tive rate. and no human being ever
had or can have the ingenuity to sep
arate them. 1t is an impossibility in
nature. For instance. I might say
that I am in favor of putting TWEEN
ty-five-per-cent rate on a certain art1-
Gle for the purposes of revenue, and
my friend from Michigan CMr. Ford
ney) might say that he Is in favor OF
putting a y-five-per-cent rate on
that same thing as protection. The
upshot of 1t would be that I would
get my revenue. and the gentleman
from Michigan would get his protec-
ton, whether wanted him to have
1t or not. Revenue rates and protec-
tive rates run side by side. UP to the
point where the tariff rate begins to
be prohibitive in it's nature; then L
go down one pathway. and the gen.
tleman from Michigan goes down an
other.
The extremes upon the question are
prohibitive protection and tariff for
revenue only. While the former
would bar out importations of articles
which are or may be produced in this
country, and thus prevent competi-
ton, the latter would levy duties only
upon articles not produced in this
country-for instance, tea and coffee.
In the tariff matter, as with most
disputed questions, the better policy
may perhaps be found between the
two extremes. We doubt whether
public sentiment would approve either
Of these extremes. So long as
heavy revenue must be raised, it
would be manifestly impracticable to
avoid such incidental protection as Mr..
Clark refers to above. The people
would not approve the levying Of the
entire burden upon such articles as
tea and coffee, or Of the shifting of
any greater part Of it to direct taxa
ton than is now borne by the inter-
nal revenue taxes.

One para era phi in the majority re-
port from the House WAYS and Means
committee. in favor of the reciprocity
agreement with Canada. is of special
significance. 1t follows:
When population is taken into &C.
count there is no country in the world
ti>at approaches Canada in amount of
purchases from the United States.
When cotton. in which we have a
rectical monopoly and which foreign
nations must buy from U.S. is excepted
the United Kingdom is the only coun-
try which purchases a larger aggre-
gate of our products. Our splendid
trade with the German Empire takes
S-5s.000. 0G0 of our exports each year as
compared with s242 600. 900 which we
sell to Canada. When cotton is de-
ducted from the two accounts Ger
many with eight times as many peo-
PIE as Canada. buys from us only
s120. 900 as against Canada's s231,-
600 0G0. or a trifle more than the ag-
gregate taken by the latter country.
France annually buys from us s116.-
000. 900 in total value. or s54, 900 900
with cotton excluded. Even the Unit
cd Kingdom imports from this coun-
try but 1907 .0oO.0 GO in value. exclusive
OF cotton. or barely one third more
than is taken by her colony. Canada
buys from us so per cent. more than
she takes from all the other nations of
the world combined Each year her
1000. 900 or 5000. 900 of people buy Of
our products twice as much in value
as Great Britain exports to the 30O,-
0c0. 900 people in her Indian empire.
Such a trade is surely worthy of
cultivation. Rejection of the pending
agreement would probably be. in eff
feet a notification to Canada that It's
trade is not considered desirable by
this country. and would. as probably,
result in the transfer of a very con-
siderable part of this trade to Eng
land
The vote in the Ways and Means
committee upon the agreement was
not unanimous. It stood IL for. and
against. the instrument OF the u
affirmative votes. were given by
Democrats and 6 by Republicans; of
the z negatives. all but one were by
Republicans. That is. the Republi-
cans were evenly divided. and the
Democrats were nearly solid. Should
the House Republicans divide as did
the Republican members of the COM
mittee. the agreement seems certain
of acceptance. however the Insurgent
members may vote.
