Memorial to French Engineer Who
Laid Out Washington Is Unveiled.
Washington, May 23.-Impressive
ceremonies marked, the unwilling to-,
day of the memorial to Major Len
FAINT. the French engineer who laid
out the plans for the city of Washing
ton, at Arlington. President Taft,
Senator Root and the French ambas-
sador, M. Jusserand, delivered brief
addresses, and the occasion was given
q degree of military pomp by the
presence OF q considerable number CT
the troops stationed in Washington
and Fort Myer.
For many years the body OF Major
LEnfant lay in modest grave on
the old Digges farm, in Prince Georges
county, Md. TT. B. r. MacFarland, at
that time president Of the board Of
district commissioners, took lively
inter- in the project to remove Ma
jor L'Enfant's remains to Arlington,
and congress finally authorized the
commissioners to expsnd $1,000 in
transferring the remains. The body
was reinterred at Arlington on the
afternoon of April 3d.. 1909. after in.
teresting services at the capital.

Hypocrisy, Not Craftsmanship.
Tie senate will remain the judge OF

Of it's members If they are elected by
direct vote of the people under the pro-

PATRIOT WITH HuMoR
is CHAMPION OF AMERICAN PRO-
TEcTlvE TARIFF LEAGUE.
Appeal Of Inspired Prophet Reveals
Straits to Which Friends Of Mo-
nopoy Have Been Reduced
President Called "Traitor."

Wilbur E. Wakeman of the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff league. thrills.
beguiles and delights us. To be sure,
we have never heard Of Wilbur before
this. but we are hearing great deal
now. Wilbur Is doing big things, real
ICES that himself and tells Mr..
Hearst's New York American all
about it. Wilbur declares that he is
deluging nineteen congressman with
kilograms urging them to vote against
reciprocity. To be sure, the names
signed to some OF the teiegrams be-
long to prominent citizens who
weren't consulted by Wilbur when he
sent the kilograms, but Wilbur is too
busy patriot just now to bother with
details.
Feeling that by any other name he
were as persuasive and seductive, Will
bur is beseeching these nineteen
statesmen, for the love of heaven and
the American Protective Tariff league,
to defeat the reciprocity agreement
In this Wilbur is certainly spreading
out the undeserving American Pro
tective Tariff league to the vulgar,
censorious, even hostile gaze. And
he is full of stirring-though trite-
patriotic rhetoric, too. For example:
1--WE who realize how this country
has been built up under this wise
economic policy will not stand idly by
and see the country plunged into in
dustrial and economic confusion"
We hope that some of that splendid
sentiment found Its way into Wilbur's
kilograms. Wilbur has also decided
that President Taft is traitor" to
the American Protective league and
cannot be again nominated for presi-
dent Then listen to this glowing,
intoxicating, inspired prophecy:
"Vice-President Sherman, in my
opinion, will lead the Republican hosts
of protection to victory in 1912. Sun
ny JIM prince of good fellows and
protectionists, will be our candidate. ;"
1t is nice to see how unconsciously.
perhaps sub consciously, Wilbur refers
to good fellows" and protectionists
as synonymous. Next, perhaps, to
Patriot j. Pierpont Morgan himself,
Sunny Jim" Sherman would inspire
more enthusiasm in the breasts of the
Republicans-yes, Democrats too
than almost any man we can think of.
We should like very much indeed to
know something more about Wilbur
1t is too bad to lose sight of patriot
SO redolent with unconscious humor
and hilarious entertainment. If the
enemies of the American Protective
Tariff league had picked out man to
do the league as much damage as pos
sible, in the most insidious and eff
fectiye way, they could have done
nothing SO good as Wilbur. He Is
more than a calamity. He Is a
"scream.'-Detroit Journal.

MERELY BUSINESS MATTER
Judge Gary's Explanation Of Shut.
down Will Be Understood by
the Initiated.

The definite denial by Judge Gary
that the closing of work on the new
wire mill Of the steel trust at Birming-
ham was not an attempt to influence
the tariff discussion in congress, may
be taken as evidence Of how sensitive
even large corporations are these days
to public opinion. 1t did not use to
be SO. II corporation thought 1t
could gain point by flouting the
public in any way or by soaring it, it
went right ahead and did it. There
was no care for what the public might
say. 1t might howl all it pleased, but
the corporation merely laughed. It
never had to pay any attention to the
public, which really existed to be
milked. But there is difference now.
The public has learned that it can
make it very uncomfortable for the
person who is doing the milking and
that 1t is possible even to kick over
the milk pail. That is why corpora
tions are more inclined to treat the
public with certain amount of con-
siderateness.
Judge Gary does not disguise the
fact that the United States Steel cor
poration feels that If certain proposed
tariff legislation relating to steel du-
ties should be enacted 1t might affect
disadvantageously the manufacture of
certain wire products. Therefore, the
local Birmingham officials were ad-
vised to shut down on part OF the
work then underway These orders
being misunderstood. all work was
closed down, but has now been re-
sumed with the exception OF the cree
ton Of housess for workmen and the
equipment OF the mills. But the judge
would have it understood that this cur
tailment is not intended in any way to
influence congress. Certainly not.

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER
Official Figures Concerning Wool In.
dustry Gives Little Weight to
Claims Of ProteetlonIsts.

The preliminary census statement
In regard to the wool industry shows
great growth in almost every de-
partment of the business. There has,
however. been decrease in the num-
Der of establishments. due to the
tendency toward concentration in
practically all forms OF industry. AS
result the increase in the number
OF employees since 1899 has been
comparatively slight, 1t being only 20
per cent. During the same period
there has been an increase of 81 per
cent. In capital and of rs per cent
In product. This, OF course, proves
much higher per capita production
than that of 1899.
So there has been an increase Of
wages. Just what this amounts to
1T Is impossible to say, since in the
report wages and salaries are Jumped.
Taking the total sum paid for wages
and salaries, and distributing 1t
among the wage earners, we And that
in 1904 there were $4,000 wage
earners, drawing a total Nncluding
salartes) of $61.000,0O0, as against
10000 wage earners in 1909, drawing
$79,O0O,000. The per capita wages
have increased from 1929 to $4s4.
The amount paid In wages would
be somewhat smaller If that paid in
salaries was omitted.
Remembering that the main object
OF protective tariff is to maintain
the American standard of wages. It
is little disconcerting to know that
in this highly protected industry the
average wages are only $4S4 per
capita. Such wages can hardly be
called high. Many men in unpro-
tected Industries do much better. If
we take the other view, which is also
taken by some of the defenders Of
nigh tariff taxes, that protection is
needed, not SO much to make high
wages as to enable employers to pay
wages that are already high, it is still
to be said that no great amount of
protection should be r.eeded to meet
this wage bill. Something seems to
be wrong with the application of the
principle of protection in this case,
for the blessings supposed to flow
from 1t have not. apparently, reached
the workingman--who, as we all
know, is the individual for whose
benefit the scheme was devised. Has
there been fair division Of the
taxes which the people have SO gen
erously voted to this great and thirty
ing industry?

COX INDICTMENTS

Judge Finds Violation of Constitution

Case Has Been Fought Be-

Cincinnati, May 22-Motions tt

/ George 5. Cox, banker and Republican

/ Judge William T. Dickson. Judge
Dickson found the indictments defect

decision operating to free Cox from

legged facts by any subsequent jury.
Cox was indicted on February 81
and his case has been fought before

and supreme courts of Ohio, the bat,
tie of technicalities starting when Cox
swore off the bench Judge Frank Cor
man, then sitting in the criminal
branch of the court of common pleas.
Fought Prosecutors Right. :.
| From this point the attorneys fought
the right of prosecutor to take SINH
lar action through the circuit court to
| the supreme court of the state, the
latter body giving out a finding which
virtually confirmed the position taken
by Cox's attorneys that the common
pleas court of Hamilton county had
sufficient jurisdiction to dispose of the
questions involved.
Judge Charles j. Hunt thereupon
held the Cox affidavit against Judge
German sufficient, oyerruled similar
affidavit by the prosecutor directed
against Judge Dickson and confirmed
the latter as the trial judge. The mo.
ton to quash was originally made be-
fore Judge German, but it reverted to
Dickson when the latter was finally
named to hear the case for and against
Cox.
Judge Dickson holds in substance
that in calling Cox before the grand
jury in 1906 and compelling him to
testify there, and then indicting him
for perjury because of that testimony,
there was violation of his constitu-
tional right.
The indictments against Cox
charged that in testifying before a
grand jury in 1906 he declared that
he had received none of the money
paid by various banks to county
treasurers as "gratuities' for the de-
post of county funds in the institu-
tons, the existence of these gratuities
having been brought out before the
Drake Investigating committee of the
state legislature.
The grand jury of January, 1911,
however, charged it had information
that he did receive interest money
from Tilden r. French and John H.
Gibson while they were county treas
urers, the indictment asserting that
he was given s4S,5OO by Gibson and
$17,500 by French.
