ATTAcK IS uNwARRANrEn.

Ambassador James Bryce is being put in 9 rather undeserving light be- fore his fellow countrymen by the at lacks made upon him in the British house of commons concerning the let fer recently made public by Taft That he should be defended by Premier As oui-h was entirely proper. and the stand 0f the latter In the matter was the only logical one.
 The entire trouble over the situa- ton, which arises from the letter from President Taft to Theodore Roosevelt on the reciprocity question before the measure was started and in which reference was made Co Canada as "an adjunct of the United States" is the result Of a misinterpretation of the situation.
 In the first place the letter was a private communication which Bryce had no knowledge of and no reason to expert co have until President Taft gave it out Ambassador Bryce could toll his government no more about such letter than he could about many other private letters concerning Can ada which have probably been writ ten. He is not deserving Of censurc because he failed 10 possess d minc- readers power.
 England is stirred unnecessarily by this matter. which accounts for the attack but as soon as they look at it sauely they must realize that the pres ident had nothing in mind except the hettering of commercial coBditions for both Canada and the United States.

 Opposition to the employers liability bill now before congress is said to find much of it's inspiration in law firms, which do a good business in prosecuting suits for injury against employers. The new law stops this practice and gives to the claimant all of the award instead of allowing the lawyer to get the larger share.-Wa- terbury American.
 The men who do a town more harm than good may be classed as follows: First, those who oppose improvement. Second, those who run it down to strangers. Third, those who never advertise their business Fourth, those who distrust public spirited men. Fifth those who show no hospitality to any one. Sixth. those who hate to see others make money. Seventh, those who oppose every movement that doesn't originate with them selves. Eighth. those who put on long faces when a stranger speaks of locat- ing in their town. Ninth, those who oppose every public enterprise which does not appear of personal benefit to themselves.-Woodbury Reporter.
