Their Names Against Them.

We are believed to believe that An anias left no descendants, but there were people so like him as to bear the name of Anania, or again Ananian. Their descendants have to bear the brunt of ancestral duplicity. So, MT. Anacreonte may perhaps trace his de- scent back to the sweet Greek sing CT of women and wine.

Attorney MaEmillan l.. LiZotte, who, upon complaint of Attorney Albert B. Crafts, formerly of Westerly, was dis barred from the practice of his profess sion, petitioned the supreme court for a modification of the courts order. A rescript handed down Thursday denies and dislnisses the petition. The de- cisscn concludes as follows:
 The petition amounts to motion for rehearing upon the original charges and may be so considered. The grounds upon which the respondents motion or petition is based do not em- brace any new question which has not been fully. carefully and at length con- sldered by the court We were satis- fled from the testimony and admlS-, sions of the respondent himself to- gether with other undisputed testi- mony and facts, that an order of dis barment would not only be fully justi-- fed but that any other punishment would be inadequate. Under all of these conditions we cannot see how rehaarlng could be profitable to the respondent, and the petition IS there fore denied and dismissed"
 There was quite q gathering of men of leisure in the Third district court room Friday, expecting to hear in de- tail the story of the stabbing of Bill Collins by Sam Royster. The crowd was disappointed when 1t was an nounced that MT. Collins was unable to appear in court and that the hear ing would be continued for one week. As this fact was known to the court before the hour of opening word was sent to the jaiier at Kingston not to bring the prisoner to Westerly. The assault occurred three weeks ago ana Collins has been practically confined to his bed ever since. only being able to sit up at intervals. While the pros pects are favorable to recovery, the process Is very slow. but he may be able to appear in court next Friday. :,
 With the exception of a suit in civil action to recover for a months rent o1 s for tenement, with James BurKe as plaintiff and James Blake defend- ant, in which judgment was given TOT plaintiff, with costs, no cases were tried at the session.

The French have a saying: I'll
only youth had the knowledge, il
only age had the power" and the
poet Young said: "As soon as
we have found the key of life, il
opens the gates of DEATH" This
view of age seems to be the prod
uct of the romantic movement.
1t was not so in Greece or Rome.
1t is not so in China or Japan. 1t
is true only if mating and its pre-
liminaries are looked upon as the
one triumphant interest of life.
Age, of course, is clearer about
what it desires of the universe
and cannot have. Youth is I'M
happy too. but is wagner about
the reason. Those periods which
are treated as if they were the
happiest, childhood, or Adde'S
cence, or early maturity, are as
likely to seem thoroughly I'M
happy to the person actually in
them.
The best is yet to be,
Grow old along with me,
The last of life, for which the first was
made.
Few modern poets echo those
words of Browning's, which, al
though they overstate, yet sug-
gest the truth. If a person does
not grow happier well into life, it
is because he has not quite known
how to live. The Indian said that
the sixties included the twenties
and the forties, and the American
philosopher, brilliantly arguing
that the possession of intellect
much diminishes the difference be-
tween youth and age, quotes the
Vedas as saying: He who can
discriminate is the father of his
father" The more intelligent the
person, the harder be finds it to
decide absolutely among the gains
and losses of different periods.
Certainly, however, everything
does favor youth for the mind
which prefers a Bouguereau to a
Rembrandt, or Mrs. A. L. Wis
ter to Lord Bacon.

Additional Evidence of
Safety and Sanity.

Governor Wilson has given adj
ditional evidence of his safety and
sanity, and the business world is
taking most kindly to his express
sions wherein it is involved. In
discussing the matter the future
President declares that while there
should be general and thorough
downward revision of the tariff, it
should be done gradually but none
the less surely. He believes that
when for instance, a thirty per
cent. reduction is decided upon it
would be better to make two fif-
teen per cent. reductions instead of
making it all at a single reduction.
As usual, the Governor is right.
There is too much money invested
by the trusts and other manufac-
tories under the protection of a
high tariff law to destroy their
property by a sudden change of
that law. They may have secured
it from the party in power by
doubtful means, but two wrongs
do not make right, and the Deu-
ocratic party must treat the bust
ness interests fairly.
We hope to see the whole tariff
schedule reduced to a revenue ba-
sis before many years, but it is
part of wisdom and fairness that it
be done so as not needlessly to in
jure any established business.
Many may contend that the trusts,
having fattened long enough on
the needs of the people, deserve no
consideration, but even admitting
that this is true the Democratic
party cannot go into war of de-
struction. A command to the
trusts to stand not upon the order
o. their going but go at once would
s)und mighty good to the trust
ridden people, but it is best to Civ e
them time to go, with the assur-
ance that those operating against
the public welfare must prepare o
forego Governmental aid in rob-
bling the people. There should be
no equivocation in this. The high
protective tariff must go and only
that much tribute must be laid
that will provide a sufficient reve-
nue. for the Government economi-
cally administered. L exingtonI
