Decline Of a Superstition.

From the New York Tribune.
One Of the things that have come tum-
bling down in recent years is the popular
superstition about awyeEs. 1t used to
find expression in the constant repetition
of the tr.te remark Of a famous member
Of the bar that he could drive a coach
and four through any law ever drafted.
How long is it since any one last heard
those words? Since the Northern Secu-
rites decision and the series of decisions
eliminating in the dissolution of the
Standard OIL trust and the tobacco truss
belief N the ability of lawyers to accom-
plish the supernatural has been rude y
shaken. The great trusts were monu-
ments to the extraordinary cleverness OF
lawyers. IL any one expressed doubt
of their fate he was sure to be reminded
Of the superhuman legal acumen of tho
lawyers who had been consul ed abou
their formation and who would defenC
their handiwork In court. The big com
binatiOns had all the gh-priced" law
yers, and their reputed fees We're wins

courts should declare that the lawyer.
had failed to find the loOphole in the law
this time. what then? They had dozer
schemes and stratagems in reserve NOR,
Ingenious than any yet disclosed. Yet tn,
wonderful eOntrivances failed. Tn,
sleeves were opened, moreover. and re
vealed nothing.

The Painting Slasher.

Whoever the miscreant who mutilated
the painting in the Senate wing of the
capitol the other night. whatever his
motive. he deserves. IL caught. the sever
est punishment permitted by the Law.
The fact that the damage which he did
to the canvas may be in greater part
repaired does not lessen the seriousness
OF his o6ense, which is to be measured
ny his purpose and not by his accomplish
ment. He might have carried away the
strip torn from the painting, and his
vandalism would have been more COM
piete. The fact that he dropped it is a
stroke of good fortune. for now the pic
ture can be restored without the addi-
ton OF neW strokes or material.
Various theories have been advanced

man may have been an incensed foreign.

toward the United States for some actor
such as the abrogation Of the Russian
treaty. He may have been a dismissed

Indiana.

Too much seems to have been made of
recent declaration in this town that
Mr. Taft II renominated will lose In
diana Chairman Lee Of the republican
committee of that state expressed the
opinion, and his position has given it
wide currency. He claimed to base 1t on
a canvass he had made Of republican SEN
timent by letter and personal interviews
with county leaders.
II is said that man demanding justice
must come into court with clean hands.
And 1t Is as true that a politician seeking
to influence public sentiment about men
and measures should speak from in
huences higher than those of personal in
terest or disappointment.
Mr. Lee is a man of good standing at
home, and has sources OF information
about party matters which ordinarily are
not to be disregarded But his present
deliverance is subject to two objections,
% 1t is charged that the failure to
secure federal office for himself has
prejudiced Mr.. Lee against the President;
that owing to his disappointment he is
unable to take a fair view Of matters
where the President is concerned; that he
would not know Taft man If he met
him in the road with a button on.
co Influenced by his prejudices. Mr.. Lee
has sought only anti-Taft sentiment. and
those whom he has approached. knowing
his feelings. have responded as they
thought would please him.
In this analysis. therefore. Mr. Lees
statement Is that of a man with a griev-
ance, who, visiting with other men having
grievances, returned with stock of
grievances. He simply went after what
he wanted. and was satisfied with what
he got, without making an effort to sound
sentiment outside of circles sympathizing
with his own known views and desires.
The Taft men in Indiana-the men who
want the President renominated and ex-
pect that result-cannot be few because
the leaders of that sentiment possess
large influence. Mr.. Fairbanks may De
placed at their head. At all times poll
tician of the first class. he is now in posi-
ton to take more active part in cam
paign matters than for some years. Out
of Office he is freer-handed than when
senator or Vice President; and next year
we shall probably see him put in some OF
the ticks which sixteen years ago helpeo
to lift Indiana out of the democratic into
the republican column.
So far Mr.. Beyeridge has not spoken on
the matter. of next year. But ne Is q
straight party man, and there Is no rea-
son to doubt that in. stand-up nght
with Mr. TAFT again leading the party.
he will exert himself at home and else
where In behalf of the republican ticket
Mr.. Lee has gone home. and will have
time TO think matters over before the con-
test for delegates to the national conven-
ton begins. If he concludes that he mas
spoken hastily and inadvisediy. ne may
decide to correct himself If not, IT VII
be I'D to the Taft men to correct MI

Municipal Forests.
rbe Springfield Republican.

In Norway and Sweden, and to some
extent in other European countries. towns
and cities own their own forests. and 1t is
natural that in our northwestern states,
where the Scand! navian population is
large this idea should be attractive. 1t
il being pressed In Minnesota by the state
forester, w. Il. Cox, who shows that 1t
would now be possible at a slight cost to
secure extensive holdings in the wooded
northern part of the state. rocky lands of
little use for agriculture but which would
in time yield good income In timber.
His argument is that while the Individual
landowner may be willing to cultivate a
crop which does not mature for halt
century or so. a city can AFFORD to wait
and after the forests have once grown
they can be, counted upon. with scientific
forestry, for a steady annual return
which will grow more valuable with the
years.

Stage Fright.

Nice old gentleman! Highly dignified.
Very much respected and his family s
special pride!
Looks quite apprehensive as he goes
along his way:
Gives little shudder when you mention
Christmas day.
Slowly seeks the hallway Of his stately
residence.
Hesitates a moment in a tremor Of sus-
penSe.
Clears his throat and starts to speak
and heaves a little sigh
AS he sees the preparations for rejoicing
by and by.
He has addressed the multitude where
politics was rife,
And boldly faced the bulls and bears in
fierce commercial strife.
But he's booked to play Kriss kringle.
and that's why hesholds his breath.
Nice old gentleman. Nearly scared to
death!

The Wool Message.

The President recommends a revision of
schedule X of the Payne tariff law on the
lines of protection. While favoring lower
duties than those now imposed. he yet has
regard for maintaining an industry en-
uloying hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
can wage-earners.
No bill is presented The question is
with Congress. The House under the Con-
sti-ution takes the initiative. All the
President at this time does is TO submit
an elaborate report ordered by Congress

consult il in taking action. He vOuches
for the thoroushness of the tariff boards

OF course the tariff board submits no

There is likewise disposed of yarn that
