COST OF INTERVENTION

1t is generally conceded that fnterven-
ton would mean war-protracted har-
assfng, costly, in men and money. Are
American Jingoes counting the probable
cost?
Mexico has population of over Is, OO0-
600, 81 per cent of which is of Indian
blood Its factions hate each other but
would unite to fight an invader. They
are at home-not, as was the case with
spain, thousands of miles from their
base of supplies. The Spanish war cost
us over $500. 100000 in money, though there
were only 2,1U2 casualties on our side.
The war with the Filipinos cost us over
800, 100000, and an annual increase in
army and navy expenditures of a like
amount.
War with Mexico might last for year.
And after peace had been won, it's main
tenance would doubtless entail years of
armed repression necessitating huge
standing army and an annual expenditure
of many millions.
All the plans for tariff reform would be
at an end: All hope for reduction in
cost OF living would be destroyed. Higher
taxes and increase in cost of living would
be inevitable. The war stamp would be
working for years. An unceaSing stream
of our best blood would pour southwa I'd,
much of it never to return. And the net
result would be to make us the best
mated nation on this continent. Is il
worth the cost?-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

STYLES IN LAWYERS.

To those who are much about the courts
1T IS evident that the business conditions
OF TO-DAY have wrought different type
of lawyers than that of few decades
ago The young lawyer of yesterday
sought above all else to become eloquent
and to affect the jurymen by appeals to
their sensibilities, or boring for water
as it was called in the parlance of the
day. Unfortunately there are still too
many of this kind left, but they no longer
predominant in the profession. Their time
has passed with the development of the
great corporations, eloquence has become
silent. and the business lawyer has taken
the place of the court orator. The big
lawyer of today is more than adviser
of a business course to be pursued than
he is the defender of rights supposed to
have been outraged. Large fortunes are
made by men who act legal advisers
to corporations, and these men are seldom
heard in the courts, or when heard speak
in clear-cut conversational tones and to
the points at issue without the befogging
oratorical verbiage formerly so much ad-
Inired.- The present type of lawyer may
not be so picturesque as his predecessor,
but it is a type that can aid more in the
clear understanding of the cases at issue.

DUTY is TO PROTEST
REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO TAR.
IFF BILL CORRECT.
Impractical and Unscientific Character
Of Proposed Revision" Condemns
It From Every Standpoint Of
Craftsmanship.

The Republican minority of the
ways and means committee of the
house has filed its report against the
Woodrow Wilson tariff bill, which it
aptly describes, in the words of the
Hon. Eugene n. Foss. the Democratic
governor of Massachusetts, as "a non
protective tariff for revenue only; un-
reciprocal, destructive, downward re-
vision"
The report justly denounces the
academic, impractical and unscientihc
character of the Woodrow Wilson bill
in its almost complete recurrence to
'ad valorem' duties. which notoriously
encourage fraud and subject the hon
est importer to unfair competition by
his dishonest rival. They are also un-
fair to the consumer. adding to his tax
burden with every increase of the
original price of the article.
The minority report also accuses
the Woodrow Wilson bill of double
Injury to American industries by
sweeping reduction Of duties on fin
ished products without equivalent re-
ductions on materials of industry not
produced in this country. 1t touches
the fundamental weakness of the Dem
| ocratc position In tariff making when
it says of the Woodrow Wilson bill;
THE people have not asked it. The
party proposing it is not in power by
| grace of majority of the American
people but by a division in the ranks
OF the majority on other questions.
The administration has the power to

Wilson certainly has the power to en-
act this legislation. Doubtless he can
| put 1t through the house, where the
Democrats have majority Of about
14O, with many members afraid real
ly to stand up for the welfare of their
own people against the patronage
power of the White House.
| But in the senate the Democratic
majority is only seven including the
recreant Poindexter with more than
that many Democratic senators fully
conscious OF the devastating effects
of certain provisions upon great In
dustries of the country and leading in
dustres of their own states.
Be the result what it may. it is the
right and the duty Of the Republicans
In congress to criticise and oppose in
all proper parliamentary ways the
Woodrow Wilson tariff bill. to expose
it's defects and to point out it's injuri
Gus effects upon the industries from
which millions of Americans earn
their livelihood.
These representatives of the peo-
pie may be fighting what is, for the
day and the hour, hopeless battle,
but it is the course of honor, duty
and sound political judgment to fight
it to the end, anyhow. They are
fighting for American prosperity
against academic and doctrinaire tam
pering with it's foundations, and those
who fight that battle loyalty are GER
