He is deputy judge of the borough court, has represented the town in the legislature and came within few votes of being elected senator from this district at the last election.

trials were always very n sided and
~shockingly unjust When a man was
brought to a judge Il was taken for
granted he was guilty. and If he did
not confess he was tortured and made
to do so. Witnesses. too. were openly
bribed. In fact. giving evidence for
or against an accused person meant a
living to a portion Of the community,
and these witnesses naturally favored
those who paid best Punishments

and the condemned could not pay a

The total effect of the new tariff
upon your cost Of living will be
small. and such effect rs 1t does al
timately have will appear gradually.
Wooden goods, for example. should
be somewhat cheaper; but only a
small part of your income goes for
wool. To the ordinary family rent
and food are two Of the largest items
Rent certainly will be as high a.
ever and sugar is the only food article
likely to be affected.
Why so great an effort for so small
a tangible RESULT you ask. Well,
the railroads might double freight
rates on almost all manufactured
goods without affecting your cost of
living very much. As they clog
uently point out, the freight charge
amounts to only three or four cents
on a pair Of shoes, only a dime or
30 on a coat, only a fraction of a cent
on a pound Of sugar or flour. But
doubling those rates on the enormous
quantity Of goods they haul would
give them a great profit to which
they ale not entitled. It would not
hurt you very much II some one rob
bed you of a quarter every week but
II some n robbed everybody Of a
quarter every week he could soon
buy the country.
The best thing about this new
tariff is that 1t squarely challenges
a condition which has flourished
practically without interruption and
without effective challenge for half
a century. Unless we have incredibly
bad luck it will presently be de.
moustrated that the country can
prosper without taxing all the people
for n benefit of a few. Saturday Even

Train and Track.

In all the world there are less than
three times as many miles Of railway
as there are in the United States Of
America alone.
The popular belief that the Panama
railroad was constructed at a cost Of
one life for every railroad tie is a
gross exaggeration. There were 14O,-
600 ties and in the five years Of its
construction a total Of 1000 laborers
were employed.
A recent estimate places the total
number Of miles Of single track rail-
road In the United States that have
been changed from steam to electric
operation at about 1000 miles, and the
same authority finds that approximate
ly 1900 miles of single railroad track
will probably during the next few
years be subjected to the same change.
