KANSAS COMMENT
TIT BALKAN DOGGY.

It must be a dull season in Europe
despite the activity, political and mill
tary, taking place on this side OF the
world. This inference is drawn from
the renewed activity of the correspond
ents concerning the critical situation IL.
the Balkans. For a harmless. steady,
home-loving war cloud, t would he
hard to find one, even in Central Ameri-
ca, which could even compare favorably
with the Balkan product Ever since
VIC can remember. and we are not so
young as we used to be, 1t has been
possible to scare up a war cloud in the
Balkans which would make Europe
tremble for consequences, although said
consequences never seemed to warrant
the trembling aforementioned. And now
this same old cloud has been busted
off again, and put in good running or

the Bulgarian signal for military activ-
ity. Greece is clOuding up some, and
Montenegro is making a noise alto

is rumored that the Balkan states are
about to demand complete autonomy
for the Macedonian provinces, while
Turkey is busy in the argument with
Italy over the possession of TripOH. Or
it may be that Turkey is threatening
a conflict with weaker people nearer
home as an excuse for kicking out II
the difficulties oversee. ANY old excuse
is sufficient and satisfactory for this old
reliable war cloud to get On the job.
But We refuse to become as excited as
Europe or the stock market does over
the Balkan business. Europe's fear Of
disturbing the status quo in that busy
and bellicose region is one reason why
it won't be disturbed. The jealous

The Sugar Trust Trial.

The result nf the sugar trust trial in spite of the fact that it was all most an acquittal, is more encour- Jgine to the government than was The questions asked by the jury after retiring suggest that the verdict turned largely upon the effect of the statute of limitations. The inn munity afforded by this statute may also have had it's influence in the beef trust trial. since the govern monrS case for the period before immunity took effect was much stronger than it was for the later periol :.
 For the lapse of time which may have interfered with the successful prosecution in these two cases the unc. rtainty regarding the sherman d was responsible The facts in regard to the legal loan were made known to the government long before an indictment was sought, but the supreme courts decision in the Knight case was thought to bar criminal action Now that the scope ot the law has been much clarified the government can at least act more promptly The chief obstacle that seems tO stand in the way now of the successful application of the criminal clause of the sherman act is that attitude Of the public mind which was reflected in the beef trust jurors remark that the people had not suffered" The public is not as sure about the criminality of com hinatiOn as il is about the criminality of burglary. Without the general and unqualified assent of the community a criminal law is likely to be q dead letter. on every hand are illustra- tions of the difficulty in enforcing statutes regarding which opinion is in an unsettled state.

 Mfr Oscar W. Underwood. of Ala hama, is an easy writer, and he evil dently enjoys swinging his pen As chairman Of the ways and means committee at Washington he recently delivered himself Of prolonged opinion about the report of the tariff board on the wool schedule He finds fl to he highly unsatisfactory re- port. IL is likely this finding was ed. Without much doubt he had reached this conclusion before he be- gan to study the report. and his study Of il was mainly directed toward get ting evidence in support Of that con clusion. He says the report is un- tenable. meaning, presumably. that it is not defensible on one ground or another Criminals get their day in court and they are entitled to il both in law and in justice. More than this, there is something to he said even for Mr Underwood's favOrite idea of a tariff for revenue only pro- vided that you shut your eyes to good many other things.
 What, then, is the real matter with this report, in MT Cnderwood's judg- ment? That is to say. in what main particular do it's qualities confirm Mir. Underwood in his prior judgment that it was a good for nothing docu- ment? When he reaches the point that he says the very best about it that he can, he says this:
 Even under the most favorable in- depreciation of the report. conclusions as to duties can be reached for only a few paragraphs of the wool schedule, and for these paragraphs it is not possible to formulate definite conclu- sions. because the figures vary widely, and seriously lack uniformity and compatibility. So much is this the case that justification is apparently afforded in the report for rates that are in conflict with one another. It is thus seen that the report leaves the question of the tariff duties on wool as much unsolved as before the tariff board was formed.
 Now, what does this mean? That the facts are not as stated? Oh. no. On the contrary Mir Underwood's complaint is that the facts are too much as stated So true is this that Justification is apparently afforded in the report for rates that are in con- flict with one another. There is little with varied interests and complex conditions. and any report worth its cost would be found to reproduce these variations and complexities. It would not show the real clements with which a protective tariff has to deal if it did not do so. This being the case, what is the duty of con- gress. and of Mir. Underwood himself as leader of the democratic majority in the house of representatives. in regard to il? To say that it is "untenaDle?" Clearly not. for to dis miss in that fashion these actual variations and complexities so ac- curately reproduced in the report, is mere lodging But. says Mir Cn- and seriously lack uniformity and compatibility" Are the figures rep rehensible that show this. or are the men who have hard business jobs on hand. to be overlooked, because their work lacks uniformity and compara-
