of Ell Zagal Shrine, was woeful to look
upon, as the hotel reporter stood be-

mouth. 1t was at first thought it was
the smoke from the product of the
fields of Lancaster county, Pa, that
caused this drawn effect of Mr.. john

pesky hen.

standing the efforts of the opposition
party to disintegrate, divide, diversity
and differentiate the republicans of
North Dakota, the family seems to be
getting along quite nicely in the legis-
lature. The progressive wing of the
republicans are this year in control of
the organization of the legislature, but
instead of sulking and kicking and
threatening to annihilate the whole
tribe, the old time regulars of the party
fall in line and show by their action
that they believe che party organiza-
ton is superior for good government to
the temporary success and elevation of
any individual leader or any fractional
part of the whole. state Senator Ken
nedy of Cass county, one of the old
line republican stalwarts, is quoted in
his home paper as saying: '"The pro-
gressives are in control of the house

"LETOWJNG" ALBANY.

The appontment by Lieutenant. Gov
ernor Conway of a committee OF Sen
ators to probe the departments or Al
bany County and city and to "muckrake
the capitals underworld may be taken
as evidence that the Legislature INTENDS
to restore the appropriation for that
purpose which Governor Dix vetoed.
This proceeding IS the pet scheme by
which the Hon. "Packy" McCabe, Dem
ocratic state committeeman and Senate
clerk, hopes to evolve material to shake
the control of William Barnes, jr.. Oh
Albany's political affairs. The highly in
formal way in which the allegations or
graft, corruption and blackmail on which
the investigation is based were presented
TO the Legislature and the obvious po-
litical inspiration of the affair gave rise
TO the belief that It was a crude Tam
many scheme to Job" the Republican

THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.
It Includes Only Such Weapons as Are

Sir: The second amendment TO the Consti-
tuition OF the United States Is as follows:
"A well regulated militia being necessary
to the security OF free state, the right Of
the people to keep and bear arms shall not
se infringed.'
As matter OF constitutional interprota-
ton. the word "arms" In this amendment
includes only such arms" as are necessary
for "a well regulated militia" Those arms"
do not include pistols or daggers. because
those weapons are not only not necessary,
but are not suitable for the use OF "a well
regulated militia" when called out 10 pre-

Moreover. this second amendment TO the
Constitution secures ''the right OF the peo-
ple" 10 keen and bear arms. when those
arms are kept and borne with view TO pos
sible service In the militia. and ii does not
secure a right to any particular person to
keen and bear arms which are not suitable
for the use OF militia In active service.

tuition was adopted TO guard against tho

him TO that honor His pride was broken
by the ingratitude Of schemlng asso-
ciates. and he gladly left the House for
the Senate. But there he was caught
in the counter-currcnts Of the free silver
agitation. his loyalty to the Cleveland
administration quickly losing him the
confidence Of his state, which was rabid-
" devoted TO the idea of free silver in
tlation. He was not natural or COM
petent politician, and that defect in his
makeup led directly both to his loss OF
the Speakership and to his retirement
from the Senatorship. But he was some
thing more admirable than a successful
politician. He was self-respecting and
self-sustaining public man, whose sense
OF duty was high, whose public life was

pendence of character was infexible. He
was his own master, and on any ques-
ton involving principle or personal con-
sistency It was never necessary TO ask

al orr recent assertion that 1T was one
"of the great merits of the Payne act

tariff board and thus opened the way
"for rational non-log-rollng revision,
and asks:
And will The Tribune now kindly spec
fly some of the other great merits ol
the present tariff law-half dozen OF
moro of them for full measure Ihls Is
interesting
The Tribune said two years ago. when
The Payne law was passed, that II did not
fully meet the expectations Of the public
ard fell short in certain respects of full
filling the promises of the Republican
national plafform Of 1908. We thought
that the hill as If passed the House Of
REPRESENTATIVE was much better
measure than the bill as II passed the
Senate or as II emerged from conference.
Yet even in it's final form il had numer-
Gus merits. marking a decided advance
ON previous tariff legislation. We gladly
call attention TO some of these for 'The
Pain Dealers benefit.
The most commendable feature Of the
law WAS the creation Of the Tariff Board,
and the tardy recognition thereby OF
the fact that scientific revision of the
schedules can be secured only when com
pletc data showing the conditions of pro-
ductiOn are collected by an expert non
partisan board and the public has a
chance 10 Judge for itself how thoroughly
Representatives and Senators are living
M 10 the theories Of revision announced
by their party.
The INSTRUMENTATION section Of the
Payne law was also an important innO-
walton IN tariff legislation. 1t put the
United States i'm position TO secure fair
treatment from other nations having
The effect Of securing concessions from
France, Germany and ether countries
which employed the double system.

fjons for freer trade relations out or
which came the reciprocity compact.
Another merit Of the Payne law was
the increase it made in internal revenue

duties on tobacco, which have resulted
III an increase in the Treasury's annual
income of nearly $9,0o0,000. This was a
further application Of the sound policy
OF levying taxes. when practicable, on
Injuries rather than necessities.
A provision of the Payne law mani
festly In the interest of public education
was the removal Of the duties on art
objects over twenty years old. thus per-
hitting American collectors to bring In
untaxed valuable paintings and stat,l-
airy destined ultimately in most cases TO
find their way into the public museums.
The Tribune did not favor the i'm
position of the corporation excise tax
provided for IN the Payne law. because
ii believed that the collection Of informa'
ton relating to the business standing oil
corporations was not sufficiently guard
ed. That defect has since been remedled
by Congress and the constitutionality OF
the excise tax has been sustained by the
Supreme Court We are inclined 70
think that "Thc Plain Dealer approves
|of the corporation tax as a highly de
sirable addition to the governments
sources Of revenue.
The Payne law put hides on the free

and steel and in other schedules. We
regard those accomplishments as merito-
rious. The substantial good effected by
the law has unfortunately been ignored
