FLAWS CASE.

Again the evidence has been com pleted in behalf of Thaw and with the same confidence he expects to be de- clared sane despite the testimony against him and that of the superin- tendent of Matteawan that if liberated he might commit another similar crime. Other doctors have testified that he is a public menace, while in his defense number of experts have testified that he is safe to be at large. that he is not insane, but should be given his liberty, as he is only plain murderer.
 It has been a supreme effort by Thaw and his family to secure his re- lease. The arguments and the decision must be awaited. but it is a noticea- ble fact what. a mountain of expense this prisoner is proving to the state and the family, in an endeavor to re- store to full liberty a murderer because | he comes from a wealthy family. The mistake was made when he was sent to Matteawan. He was given greater chance then than he deserved, but to ] declare then that he was insane and that now he is sane. is making the condition suit, the situation in behalf of a dangerous man. disgrace to mankind. Had there been no wealth in the family Thaw would have been l forgotten long ago and a better ex- ample been set for the treatment of such eases. One mistake does not deserve another and the best thing ! that can be done is to leave him where 1 he is

DOWN IN BLACK AND WHITE.

Governor Wilson of New Jersey is already having cause for wishing some of his writings were less handy than they are. His books are being called for throughout the country hut in a large measure the curiosity is to de- termine his position on free trade and his advocacy of Chinese labor The many indiscreet things he has said and written show that he has not al- ways been in politics and places him on the defensive from the very begin ming.
 Woodrow Wilson is a free trader and stands as the candidate of a free trade party. He is going to have plenty of trouble in explaining his position on the tariH, skillful and capable as he is in the use of language. In his ad- vocacy of free trade Governor Wilson's arguments deals with the subject theo- retically, but there is a vast difference between the theoretical considera ton of the subject and the actual fact in operation, or the putting of 1t in op- eration. A sudden shift means trouble such as leads to disaster and no work for 1t Is the manufacturing centers which will feel 1t first. The idea of having their employment taken away rom them and wages lowered will not strike a responsive chord with the peo- pie. IL means uncertainty at the best and the drop to low wages like free trade England. The people do not like to have their wages diminish and dis appear. They much prefer the exist ing sound policy of progressive gov ernrnent which shows achievement.

CANAL LEGISLATION.

England has manifested a direct in- terest in the legislation concerning the Panama canal and seems to think for the incomplete action of congress that she Is liable to be discriminated against. In view of the Hay -Paunce- fots treaty 1t can be assured that Great Britain win be treated no different than any other nation, though in per fecting the legislation her suggestions, while not needed, can do no harm and it is evident that there will be plenty of time for her representatives to be heard, for there can be no charge of speeding concerning that measure.
 It Is evident that England's great concern is over Canada, where it is feared the interests will not be prop erly taken care of, and the American shipping will get better opportunities. It is the desire to allow the American ships to use the canal free, which causes this apprehension. In this re-
 gard. however, 1t must be remembered that laws of this country already exist permitting only American ships to op- crate in the coasting trade of the coun- try so that foreign countries would not be able to engage therein. toll or no toll in the canal Free passage to coastwiss trade cannot injure the trade of foreign vessels since they are unable to compete therein. The ap- plication of the railroad owned lines applies to this as well as other coun- tries and there Canada is seen to be directly interested. but there is no dis elimination should such a rule be adopted. All arc being treated alike. England may be getting unduly ex- cited over the canal matter.

RuslNEss AND CROPS.

While the politicians are busy get ting the several campaigns going for the election in the fall, the depression in business which has often accom- panied such has not occurred and is in fact as good as it was a year ago. While all industries may not be crowded they are running to good ca- pacity. There is an abundance of or ders before the United States Steel corporation and similar industries and the need of men extends beyond their limits to the automobile, furniture and other large manufacturing lines. It shows the confidence that the people and manufacturers place in the ad- ministration and the belief in the fact that sound constitutional government will continue to prevail
 There is a widespread demand for help and it is not confined to trained or mechanical worl1men. There will be widespread need for the construc- tion of rapid transit lines and in the west is the call for great many more than can possibly be secured to help on the crops, the outlook for which is most favorable. Being occupied with the crops now the farmers are busy, but they are influenced by the amount and prices and with the benefit there- from in their pockets they cannot see the country drifting to ruin or desire for radical change from a period of l confidence to one of absolute uncer- tainty and lower prices They will not follow theory in preference to facts.

To Look and Feel
 Bright in Hot Weather
CFrom The Woman Beautifully

(From The Woman BeautifuD
 This is the season when she who would have a rose-leaf complexion, lily- lite neck and hands, should turn her thoughts to mercolized wax, the firm friend of the summer girl. Nothing so effectually overeomes tbe soiling effects Of the sun, wind. dust and dirt The wax literally absorbs the seorched, diseolored, withered or eoarsened cuticle, bringing forth a brand new skin, clear, soft and girl ishly beautiful. It also unclogs the pores, removing blaokheads and in creasing the skins breathing eapae- ity. An ounce of mercollzed wax, ob talnable at any drug store, applied nightly like cold cream, and washed off mornings, will gradually improve the worst complexion.
 When depressed by the heat and you want to freshen up for the eve ming, bathe the face in a lotion made by dlssolving an ounce of powdered saxoite in a half pint witch hazel. You'll find this more refreshing than an hours rest. It also smooths out fine lines, affecting even the deeper wrinkles

 Then they came into the classrooms and played with their minds. There were no lessons. no tasks, no laborious study to be pursued SO many minutes, no recitations 10 see if they had stud jed properly
 There were mathematical games in which the children eagerly found out the laws of arithmetic and algebra so they could enjoy the fun. There were games that involved history and read ing and writing. There were science games in which all sorts of amusing tricks were performed with chemicals, plants, rocks, animals and physical forces, and in which chemistry, botany, geology, zoology and physics were smuggled In as a necessity to the sport
 In other words, the youths were ed ucated entirely by directing their spon- taneous activities and not by repress- ing them They learned, not by the will of the teacher but by the exercise of their own wills. The result was they had acquired a college education before they were 15 years old.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
City Fire Apparatus.

MT. Editor: Taxpayers question in The Bulletin of July 10th issue, Why the fire apparatus is so frequently summoned to extinguish fires outside the city? is answered in his own arti- cle when he says On a so-called er- rand of humanity. Further on he says the outlying districts seem 10 be un- alterably opposed to annexation, and this is probably their right.
 There is no probability at all; it is their legal and moral right. Taxpayer further submits there is no shadow of justice or equity in allowing them to demand city privileges and fire protec- tion. How about the justice and equity of the residents of the city call ing on the outlying Yantic Fire Engine company for aid when threatened with a serious con1agration The Yantic fire company from the days of the old hand tub to its present powerful steamer, has always been ready to re- spond to calls for help from any local ity, without question, pay or favor an act of humanity, Taxpayer ex- presses the hope that steps be taken to secure legislative enactment provid- ing that thesa gentry" (mark the word, 'gentry") shall be assessed tc pay their share of the expense of pro lection l am in favor of such q law and also at the same time enact a law compelling all the gentry" ant ''gentriesses' outside the city limits who spend their dollars among tho city merchants, to have B written per, init from the city authorities to cross the border line and with their hat off also all gentry" both male ant female, residents of the city, who erosl the city line into the suburbs, think ing they own the earth, to be licensed the gentry te have brass tai with license number stamped thereon attached to their ceRttail, and th, | 'gentriesses" to wear theirs on thei ankle la Newport.

MT. Editor: In these day when sin gle track mind fellows are blaming the Aldrich- Payne tariff bill for the high cost of living 1t may be well to look backward just a little way.
 l find in an old mill time and stors book some very interesting figures, I find that August 1870, J, Thornton, finisher of cloth, received seven shil- lings per day, or S7 per week, of 72 hours. I find also the fyst charge on his book account with the company store: One barrel flour s16.75. Ahem! How about that being due to the Payne tariff bill?
 Turning over page, find J. Bates. mule spinner, one pair of long Mason mules $7,50 Der F hour week. MT. Bates kept a hog and had to buy meal The first charge l see against him is one bag of meal $2.70. The next charge is 12 pounds lard $l.22 Turning over again, l find Miss IIil- libridge. a weaver on six looms, re- ceived by the yard, at 4 1-2 mills per yard, s612 for 79 hours work. I also | find where she paid h cents for a paper of pins. And so on-and on, There was no Aldrich- Payne tariff bill to protect the cotton industry against English and Scottish compe- titien; consequently the wages were

away down, while the reconstruction of the country after the war, causing a shortage of everything, or in other words, demand greater than the sup ply, caused prices to go up.
 A gentleman of my acquaintance is very sore at the Aldrich- Payne tariff bill because a suit of clothes recently cost him S29.50. Now that gentleman told me he paid s4s0 for the piece of cloth it was made Of. That s4,S0 rep resents not only all of the wool, but it's shearing, washing, spinning and weaving, which cost at least two uring we will say labor received S2s0 and the wool was s2, or just S27.60 less than the cost of the suit. Now any sensible man can see. if he will see, that if the tariff on wool was in- creased to 10 times the value of the wool, or 1-2 times the value of the finished product there would still be $s to account for. which is a very good margin for the tailor, But such is not the case. The goods cost S4,s0, the suit cost s29.60, and the gentleman planes an actual tariff of about 70 cents for the s24.30 that the tailor got in excess of the cost of the piece of goods.
 
 Probably is: but 1t is as reasonable as most of the arguments of the free traders, who as a rule are men who have got comfortable bank accounts and down't care how low down the price of labor goes.
 Look around you today and see how many men you can find bowling about tariff for revenue only outside of the class I have mentioned.
 "Beefsteak 40 cents a pound" is q cry I heard not long ago. Let's get after tho tariff laws;" but the man who did the sduirmlng at 40 cents pei pound need never fear wanting the wherewithal to buy it, for during the prosperous days under protective tariff he has made his pile, and it is a big one!
