BUTLER ON DEMAGoGUEs.

Presid emit Nicholas Murray Butler OF

dress touched on the growth Of dema-
Eogism in this country. He said:

that argument by epithet has come to
take high place in our ratiocination.
"A torrent of talk is abroad In the
land. The art of being a demagogue
appears to be easy and quick to learn.

practice Of the art have strange fascin-
alton for minds and characters that

reactionary proposal, II only It bear

apparatus and nomenclature Of virtue

support Of those really disinterested
and well-meaning persons for whom a
label acts as an effective substitute for

ceive or mislead US. - Change

progress. Change through vague
yearnings, through nervous excite
ment, through rebellion against the
laws Of nature and OF, man, or through
restless inability to understand, is not
progress, but reaction. The typical
self-styled progressive Of today ap-
pears to believe that any leap in the
dark is better than standing still. So
he invents novelties in politics, in
literature and in religion and plays
with them in full view of delighted
and admiring public. This is irration-
alism in full operation"

Hope In the senate,s Proaress.

Kansas City Star: The senate is
making progress. It required only one
days discussion and eight or ten pages
Of the Congressional Record to adopt
simple motion made by Senator Will
liams OF Mississippi, to restore an
aged negro employe to the senate pay
roll after he had been let out by sen
ate committee. Some day the senate
may be expected to move along at such
a lively, breakneck speed as to adopt
a formal resolution OF some sort and a
motion to adjourn in a single legisla-
tive day. But it is too much to hope
for such progress as that under the
present rules OF that body.

United States District Attorney Wise
made plea the other day in the fed
eral court at New York for the i'm
prisonment Of importers found guilty
Of customs frauds by undervaluations
A firm Of silk importers had pleaded
guilty to frauds aggregating millions
of dollars and two OF its members
were fined $4,000 each. A Greek i'm
porter of figs pleaded guilty to the I'M
LIBERALIZATION Of importations by means
of false weighing and was sentenced
to three months on Blackwell's island.
District Attorney Wise insisted on a
Jail sentence for the man who stole
millions from the government, and he
was right. Filming these people a
small percentage Of their stolen profit
will not break up the customs frauds.
Prison sentences would break up the
practice.

THE HoBBLEIN KANSAS


When the hobble skirt struck Caney,
Kansas, an editor OF that town stuck a
roll OF asbestos paper in his typewrit-
Ing machine and proceeded to unbur-
den himself as follows:
II am slayer, have stuck to my
wife through thick and thin and l will
keep on sticking to her as long as she
gets into her clothes head first. But,
when she gets to putting on her skirts,
one leg at time, and hopping arc md
over the floor, that let's me out. A
wagon load Of empty milk bottles lum-
bering over street paved with cobble
stones would sound like a deaf and
dumb conversation compared with the
noise I will make if ever catch my
wife wearing harem skirt. She can
get pile of store hair as big as two
weeks washing, and wear it all on her
head at one time if she wants to-; but
she must keep on getting into her
clothes head first or l will start an
inslrrection in my home that will
make the Mexican revolution look like
great big jolly
From what this person says one is
warranted in concluding that he is
somewhat opposed to the hobble.

EXTENDING TRADE IN LATIN
AMERICA.

The loss of insular possessions
through the war with the United
States deprived Spain to a large ex-
tent of a market for It's manufactured
products, and Spanish exporters have
realized the necessity of making an ag-
gressive campaign in the Latin Ameri-
cas- in order to hold this outlet for
their manufactures. They realize that
it is to America they must look II
their business is to grow to large pro-
portions. and Spain is to become one
of the important exporting nations.
They must compete with Germany,
England. France and the United
States. To this end, since 1901, His
pano-Americano" chambers of COM
merce and commercial unions have
sprung into existence in nearly all the
important cities Of Spain. Their OBJ
ject has been to study conditions In
America. to secure their present trade,
and to find new opportunities for In
PRODUCING Spanish merchandise.
The declining trade with the Philip
pine islands during the past five years
has also caused merchants who were
formerly interested in the east to turn
their attention to America. In Bar
celona there are at least eight journals
devoted to Spanish-American trade,
and Bilbao, Madrid, ETC., also have
many publications Of this sort. Increas-
ing trade of other European nations in
Central and South America is watched
with much interest by Spanish manu-
facturers. and this is even more true
of that Of the United States. The Pan
American Union, the approaching
completion Of the Panama canal, new
steamship lines. and in fact all fac
tors which have favorable influence
upon Pan-American commercial inter-
change or tend to increase the COM
mercial standing of the United States
in other American republics have re-
ceived the attention of Spanish manu-
facturers and exporters. Frequent ar
ticles appear In local publications en-
titled "Spanish-American commercial
Balance" in which trade interchange
is dwelt upon and exporters advised as
to the best means Of increasing their
"u1tramar" business. One OF these
trade journals, In an article reviewing
Spanish-American commerce from
1901 to 1909, states that during this
time the total volume OF Spanish traf-
fic with all the American nations was
valued at $75,210,357, of which $40, b75.-
GA comprised trade with Latin Amerf-
ca and the remainder with Anglo
Saxon American.-From the Daily
Consular Reports. rs .. :,

1.-THE OREGON PLAN"

'The beautiful plan Of dragging from
the bench q Judge who does not con-
struo the law to suit the people 1s
about to be tried in Oregon" says the
I Washington Post.
John 8. Coke Is Judge of district
comprising six counties in the south
ern part OF that state He presided at
murder trial some time ago, and the
accused man, McClallen, was acquitted:
McClallen had been In q tight with an
enemy at Roseburg, in which McClal-
lens antagonist was killed. The man
was prominent, and lawyers we're en-
gagged to assist the authorities to
prosecute McClallen. These lawyers
are now active in circulating petitions
for the recall Of Judge Coke, on the
ground that the judges instructions
to tie jury helped to bring about the
verdict.
Judge Coke is a democrat, but he
did not subscribe to Bryan's free silver
theories. It is expected, therefore, that
many democrats will embrace. the Op-
portunity to recall him. The Judge is
llso bitterly opposed by the liquor in
terests on account of his strict en-.
;orcement OF the local option law.

rate life.a and no doubt 1T will be
seized with eagerness. # 5'-'

and private. interests arrayed against
Judge, and about to drag him from
the bench.
els It not to the interest OF some
kinds OF lawyers to demand the head
Of the Judge, If the case should go
against them? If the people can be
convinced that the Judges view OF the
law was wrong, the judge must be
wrong, and must suffer with his. on.
cial life. Nor is 1t unreasonable to
suppose that politics will cut q figure
In the matter. Politics will cut a fig
ure anywhere it gets q chance. and
the recall opens up new and fertile
fields for political exploration. As for
The opposition Of such interests as
those which oppose, Judge Coke, why
should they be blamed for trying to
ret rid OF him, II they can? They did
not invent the recall.
"A sweet scented mess the Oregon
reformers are making of it, truly! A
delightful system this, to be extended
