THE MCNAMARA TRIAL.

The indications are that the trial of
the Mcnamara brothers will break all
records of criminal cases in the length
of time consumed. Each side has
practically unlimited money and all
that money can buy to aid in the &C.
ccmplishment of it's object, and both
sides are backed by a divided public
opinion.
1t is the sincere wish of every right
thinking person that the accused may
have fair trial and that justice may
be done, but whether this is possible
under the circumstances is doubtful.
A part of the people who have heard
or read the accounts of the lamentable
affair have made up their minds def
nitely that the brothers are guilty as
charged, and another part are, If pos
sible, even more positive in the opin-
ion that they are the victims of an
organized plot against union labor. OF
course, neither side is in a frame OF
mind to weigh impartially the evil
dence. Nearly everybody in Los An
geles county belongs to one or the
other of these two classes, nence the
difficulty of securing a jury that will
return just verdict.
And whatever the verdict may be
it is scarcely to be hoped that it will
be accepted as just, for if the young
men should be acquitted there are
many thousands of people in the Unit
ed States who would either think that
the jury was prejudiced in their favor
or that it was intimidated by the dem.
onstrations OF the labor organizations;
and. on the other hand, II the McNaln.
aras should be convicted and executed,
there are hundreds of thousands who
would believe that It was judicial
murder and that the brothers were
martyrs to the cause of union labor
whose condemnation was extorted by
the relentless power of organized cap
italism.
If they are guilty their acquittal
would be not only miscarriage of
Justice but public misfortune; on
the other hand, if they are innocent it
would be an awful thing for them to
be condemned and executed for a
crime that they did not commit. This
is one of the times when those who

ASSET CURRENCY AND FIAT
MONEY.
ASSET

Talk about getting on the Ocala
platform, what else has the National
Bankers Association done in endors-
ing the Aldrich asset currency
scheme? The only difference is that
the populists proposed to put some
thing that has actual intrinsic value
behind the currency, such as cotton,
corn and wheat. Such securities could
be realized on at once and all the
time. The assets that the central bank
will use as security can not be better
than these and may be far worse.
In neither case, however, would the
money issued circulate because Of the
assets, but If it did go freely 1t would
be because of the implicit faith the
people have that the government is
behind it and will see that it Is made
good. This is what makes the national
bank notes acceptable any pop
ular delusion that they are going to
be redeemed in gold. Fiat money?
Yes; no other kind of paper currency
ever did or ever can inspire conf
dence in the people. Don't you know
that if faith in the solvency of the
were lost national bank
notes would be worth no more than
Confederate money? We have now
the most gigantic system, if system
it can be called, of fiat money that the
world ever saw.

combatants. After one side wavered
and ran two of the city's blue-coated
guardians appeared, but their ser
vices werenot needed, further than to
make an effort to get the names of
the belligerents. 1t was lucky for the
combatants that the fight did not
occur during church hours, or they
would have to face the statute which
provides heavy penalty for inter-
fering with religious meeting.

Reciprocity Lost.

Reciprocity lost, Canada has reject
ed the opportunity of wider markets.
Thus ends the long campaign to bring
the two great countries of the North
American continent into closer COM
mercial relationship. Just what
prompted the people of Canada to re-
ject the trade pact which meant wild
er markets for them, shorter haulS
to markets and easier conditions of
credit and collections, it will be hard
to say until the whole campaign can
be analysed. And that must wait for
more detailed returns. Just how much
the questions of internal policy, the
influence of American trusts, which
it is alleged, furnished much of the
money to fight the pact, the DOGGY of
annexation and the sentiment of i'm
perialism and empirism did to bring
about the result it is also hard to tell
without more detailed study than is
possible as yet.
Certain it is that these side issues
had great influence. The returns 50
far show that the manufacturing
towns voted heavily against the pact.
The manufacturers were afraid of the
competition of American factories,
and although the opposition on this
side charged that the tariff on Amer
lean manufactures was not sufficient
ly included in the agreement, that it
only affected farm products, the
Canadian manufacturers looked at it
differently and were afraid. And
British loyalty was factor.
Nor did the farmers Of TIE eastern
provinces like Ontario warm to the
pact. They feared the competition
of the American farmers who were
engaged in dairying, fruit raising and
similar lines. The western wheat
and barley growers wanted the agree
ment as it would give their grain an
outlet without their having to ship
across the sea. Northwest Canada
appears to have voted almost solidIy
for it.
This action of Canada is especially
regretted by that large section of the
American people who believe in more
liberal world wide commercial condi-
tions, who believe in general policy
of reciprocity with the important
commercial nations. But regardless,
of the action of Canada, the breach
in the American tariff wall, in princi-
pie at least, has been made, and it is
entirely probable that other nations
will show desire to meet us half
way in an agreement for the mutual
betterment of Milwaukee

Marathon S Idea.

Marathon county bears an ancient
name but it is up-to-date in ideas.
And the strenuousity for which that
ancient Marathon was famed is,
minus the bloodshed, characteristic
of its modern namesake.
Farmers up in Marathon have
Joined hands in protecting themselves
from inconsiderate hunters. Hunters,
and more especially city hunters, are
not always overly regardful of farm
er's property or rights when they
wish to chase the festive game.
Some, of course, are regardful, but
their name is not legion. They have
happy faculty of tramping through
the farmers field regardless of what
might be there of value to the farm
er, of the presence of his cows, his
horses, his chickens or even his pigs.
Then, too, many city hunters have
a thoughtful way of leaving gates
open. AS consequence the stock
wanders through forbidden fields or
down the roads and gives the farmer
lots of trouble finding them. And
sometimes they are not found. But
what is worse, when some hunters do
harm to the farmers property they
refuse to make good their damage,
financially, and become Extensively
rude. In fact several years ago some
city hunters, many of them MilWau-
keeans, tried to get a bill through
the legislature which would have put
aside the law of trespass, so far as
hunters were concerned, and given
the farmers lands to them.
But up in Marathon the worm has
turned. The farmers, of that rich
and iourishing county have organ,
lied to protect themselves. They
propose to protect their property from
the careless hunter but to give tC
careful hunters, to men Of known
responsibility, permits to go on theil
lands, such permits being passes ovel
the lands of any member of the asso-
citation. The law and its officers will
be called in as auXiliarieS.
AS "the gods help those who help
themselves" as the natives of that
ancient Marathon used to say, it is
entirely possible that through pre-
senting a united front to hoodlum-
ism disguised as hunters, the farm
ers of Marathon county will do much
by precept, to protect the farmers of
the state and make better hunting
for decent people.-Milwaukee News.

BUILDING 100 STORIES HIGH
Nothing improbable in Report of Plans
for New Structure for City
Of New York.

There is nothing intrinsically i'm
probable in the report that hundred
story building has been planned for
New York. A 50-story building is al
ready in process Of construction there,
and presumably there are no serious
engineering problems involved in the
higher structure that have not been
encountered In the lower The one es-
sential would appear to be that plot
Of ground sufficient in area to provide
an ample base should be obtained; the
relation between base and height in
skyscrapers has been at least theo-
retically determined. Whether a hun
dred story building is commercially
practicable is another question. Would
a suite Of Offices on the ninety-ninth
floor, say, rent easily? This is some
thing that perhaps even the real es-
tate experts in Manhattan could not
decide offhand. But If the hundred
story structure should be built, ris-
ing 1900 feet above the pavement,
New York would take a certain pride
in having by far the Hottest building
in the world, continuance OF steel
and cement greatly overlapping the
famous Eiffel tower.-Providence

For Harmon.

Z There is throughout the country an
urgent demand for Gov. Judson Har-
mon, of Ohio, for the presidency.
Some may say his is a "buSted boom,
but those who say it, are mainly those
who are paid to say so; if they say it
because they do not know any better,
then, indeed are they third or fourth
raters. Mr.. Harmon has grown strong
with the people because of his sterling
worth and ability. He has had no
paid boomers; he has not Travelled
about singing his own virtues, but
has attended strictly to business.
The clamor for him is now so loud
that it has become necessary to take
notice of it, and his many friends
have commenced campaign for his
candidacy. The PILOT believes that
Gov. Harmon should receive the dem
ocratic nomination and his nomina-
ton will mean his election. Lieut..
Gov. Nichols of Ohio, in a recent in
terview says:
"During the administration of Gov.
Harmon, Ohio has been advanced to
one of the most progressive states in
the union and it yields the palm to no
state in the way of what has been
accomplished in the line of progressive
legislation"
In support of this contention Mr.
Nichols cited as amCng the instances
of reform legislation which had been
secured during the last session of the
legislature in Ohio, laws for selection
of United States senator through the
direct vote of the people, according to
the Oregon plan; the per cent. tax
limit bill, which creates state tax
| commission and is, according to Mr..
Nichols, raising valuations placed on
property of public service corporations
from 20 to 40 per cent. public util-
titles act for the control of public util-
tiles through commission, law linn
iting the hours of labor for women to
fifty-four week; a central board of
control law by which all the Ohio
state institutions are placed under the
management of single board of con-
troll; a workingman's compensation
act and an initiative and referendum
for city laws.
