above. all other considerations. He pro-
poses, if his policy is stated correctly,
to stand up for the validity of Ameri-
can treaties.
1t has been reported repeatedly that
Mr.. Wilson favors the abolition of the
toll exemption clause, and that he is
willing to settle the dispute between
this country and Great Britain AMIGA
bly,. One of the reasons given for his
attitude is that he, on principle@as a
consistent Democrat, objects to sub
sides, and that he considers the grant
ing of free passage in effect as a gift
of something like $I,2so,ooo year to
coastwise shipping. 1t is also said that
he has a second reason for his opposi-
ton. This is the -Pauncefote
treaty, in which the United States en-
tered into an agreement with England
pledging this country to permit the
ships of all nations to go through the
canal on equal terms.

Workingmen for Lower Tariff.

Almost simultaneously with DR.. Pat
tens assurance to the Republicans that
the tariff bill will ultimately defeat the
Democrats comes the result of the first
by-election since the new administra-
ton took Office and a Democrat is the
choice of Massachusetts, district by a
majority of more than 1000.
If now, especially in Massachusetts, a
Republican had been elected TO succeed
Senator Weeks, it would have been
merely the normal and expected result
and would have possessed no particular
significance. The campaign was con-
Quoted mainly on the tariff issue and
the new bill had been introduced a
week before that election, long enough
TO draw the fire of all Republican bat
teries.
The district in which this election
took place contains a number of manu-
featuring towns, a considerable agri-
cultural population and some of the best
suburbs of Boston. 1t is representa-
tive district and the slump of 1896 in
the Republican and Progressive vote,
compared with the Presidential year,
while the Democratic vote was nearly
as large as at the national election, is
significant
We read in a Boston contemporary
that the tariff practically was the only
topic debated in the campaign, and with
the shoeworkers at Marlboro, the
watchmakers at Waltham, the textile
operators, in the many townships, as
we'll as the wealthy Boston suburban
ties, all seemed to have been unit,
rolling up a plurality of 4,I48 for the
Democrat over his Republican rival in
what always has been strongly Re-
publican district The only conclusion
that old-line Republicans have come to
is that many of their party declined to
vote at all If they mean to weaken
the opposition by so doing, they have
by now seen and regretted their mis-
take, as for protectionist at such
time as this not TO vote against what
they describe as free trade" is in
reality to vote for it.

Concerning Stage Fright.

From Rarpers Weekly.
1t is said that there are really few
public personages who are free from liza
bility to stage fright. The veteran is
as likely to be affected as the novice.
Frequently the attack comes when least
expected, and no matter how often the
speaker or the artist may have faced an
audience, he can never feel quite certain
that he will not undergo the tortures of
this form Of Nervousness.
1t is a curious fact, nevertheless, that
stage fright sometimes stimulates instead
Of hopelessly confusing the speaker or
performer. There Is a story to the effect
that friend of Canning once observed
to him, just as that great man was
about to address the House OF Commons
on an important measure: why, your
hands are cold and clammy. You are
nervous"
have replied. II shall make good
speech" And the prediction was fully
certified, since the orator was at his very
best on that occasion.
For obvious reasons musicians are
among the worst sufferers from stage
fright. One artist trembles, another pre-
spires excessively, a third suffers from
headache. and a fourth Is consumed with
q terrible thirst. Its most embarrassing
manifestation, chiefly among those per-
forming upon stringed instruments, lies
in the nervous trembling Of the bow when
sustained notes are attempted.
Pianists, too, have their troubles In
this respect; and many artists have told
Of cases wherein their fingers ran away
with them" Singers experience q "catcn
in the throat that is deadly, to say
nothing Of a twitching of the lips. fatal
to clear enunciation. 1t is related that
Rubinstein, in the height of his powers,
gave over the profits Of a lucrative en-
gagement for no other reason than that
he suffered an attack of this curious
malady.

Texas Hundred Million-dolIar Suit.

A suit begun in the State of Texas
against the Standard Oil interests OF
New York, New Jersey, Kentucky,
Ohio, and Indiana bring prominently
before the public the question that is
now being investigated by the Attor-
ney General, whether those trusts, dis
solved by Federal court decree, are
obeying in letter and spirit the terms OF
the judgment. Texas process servers
have succeeded in presenting writs to
John d. Archbold, John D. Rockefeller,
and other officials in what was known
before the dissolution as the old Stand
ard Oil Company. An odd feature of
the proceeding is that the Texas action
was taken after the study of evidence
presented during the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company litigation in New York only
short time ago-nany months after
the Federal Supreme Courts decree,
dissolving the Oil Trust proper, went
into effect
The Waters-Pierce controversy was
the outgrowth of the Missouri anti
trust prosecution and. an internal fight
for the control of this, the richest sub
sidiary of the Standard corporation.
Continuance of business in the State of
Missouri was made conditional on the
complete severance by the Waters
Pierce Company of relations with the
Standard. After sharp legal strug-
gle the Rockefeller interests sold out
to the Pierce Now comes the Texas
Attorney General with charges that the
Standard Oil Trust" still exists, and
that it operates in Texas today through
its subsidiary, the Magnolia Petroleum
Company, and that the Standard Oil
companies of Indiana, New York, New
Jersey, Kentucky, and Ohio all are un-
der one management. The State of
Texas alleges that such unity of action
is in violation of the Texas antitrust
laws. The State asks recompense in
fines approximating $Ioo,ooo,ooo.
Critics have contended that the Oil
Trust never was seriously llanpered in
its business relations by the 'rule of
reason" decree. But there are two sides
to be considered. The separation of
the Standard and the Waters-Pierce
interests, the sale of Standard stock
in accordance with Attorney General
Understands views, and other steps in
harmony with official suggestions, with
out doubt did accomplish separation
whether temporary or permanent re-
mains for his successor, Mr.. Mercy
nolds, to find out.

A Libel On the President.

We are astounded to read in reputa-
bic newspapers that President Wilson
is opposed to the exemption of coast
wise bottoms from the Panama Canal
\tolls because he is in thought and
sympathy alien with his own country
Ind that in opposing free foliage he ex-
hibits himself as an Anglomaniac."
Of course, all that is veritable rot.
No self-respecting newspaper, no mat
ter how much opposed to the Demo
cratic administration and its new stand
ard-bearer. should so far forget its dig
nifty as to make such public charge,
which it would be mighty difficult for
IT to prove if called upon to do so in
court of justice. No doubt Mr.. Viii

The Way of q Jury.
From the Louisville Courier Journal

From the Louisville Courier ournal.
When a jury, trying a homicide case
in New Hanover County. N. c., not long
ago, brought in a verdict of acquittal,
the presiding Judge made the sententious
comment: And that is why you have
so many homicides In New Hanover
County,
Obviously the Judge in this case had
an opinion of the guilt Of the defendant
which differed from that voiced by the
twelve good men and true" in their
verdictlu of dismissal. The court, Of
course. could not ''go behind the returns
and was compelled to accept the verdict.
The presiding judge was under no obli-
cation, however. to assume JOY that he
did not feel and to approve openly Of b
verdict which he felt in his inner con-
seriousness was not in accord with the
dictates of justice.
Juries are supposed to give defendants
the benefit of any reasonable doubt that
may exist as to their guilt. Some of the
jurors appear to go to unreasonable
lengths in conjuring up q reasonable
doubt. There are two sides to every case,
but dead men do not testify and the
slayer generally gets the benefit of any
thing and everything that will help him
out. 30 far az the ingenuity and efforts
Of his attorneys and friends may avail
IN his behalf

From the Sfrand Mapnzine

From the Strand Magazine.
For the first time in the history of the
Holy City its people have thronged
around a field almost within the shad-
ows Of its sacred walls, where contend
ing football teams strove together for
victory. The victorious team, too, was
composed entirely of American students
from the Syrian Protestant College at
Beyrout, and Uncle Sans boys can
claim to have introduced the sport Of
football into the Holy Land. The con-
tests were spread over four days The
first afternoon the Beyrout men played a
team made up of the young men OF the
missions of the London Jews Society
and OF the Church Mission Society Of
the city: on the second afternoon, with
team selected from the ranks-Chris-
tian, Moslem, and Jewish-of the Young
Mems Christian Association of the city:
on the third afternoon with the team of
st. Georges College, and on the last
afternoon with team selected from all
the Jerusalem players. The third game
was tie, but the three others were won
by the Beyrout men. The teams were
made up of natives and Europeans. the
latter being Of several religions. includ-
ing Mohammedans. A local band of the
American colony played on the last day.
There was great enthusiasm. and thou

WHAT ARE THE CHARGES
They Are Not Specified in Wilcox
Case.

w. P. Wilcox, who was severed from
his job as a sanitary policeman by the
city commission October 2, and the action
of the city commission being later sus-
tanned by the civil service commission, is
not entirely forgotten by the city COM
mission. They received a reminder from
him this morning when w. /. Jamison,
his attorney, appeared before the city
commission and requested to be informed
whether Wilcox was discharged for cause,
and If for cause, then what cause.
He was referred to the record of the
meeting in which Commissioner Porter
offered a resolution discharging Wilcox
and the resolution was unanimously
adopted. This resolution did not state
any cause, although charges had been
made against Wilcox by Sanitary
Sergeant Ramsey The civil service COM
mission. which heard the case when Will
cox appealed from the action of the city
commission, sustained the action of the
city commission, but also failed to make
any reference to the charges when it's
findings were reduced to writing
Jamison, Wilcox's attorney insisted
that pure, idle curiosity and nothing more
prompted him to make the inquiry as
to the official ''whyness'' of Wilcox's dis
charge. But after denying that it was
Wilcox's intention to take any sort of
legal action, he said the discharged officer
had a son who might cause some legal
action to be set in motion.
