THE P.ARTY's FUTURE.

The New York Times closes a long
editorial comment on President Taft's
views as to the reorganization of the
republican party with these words:
THE ~reorganized republican party
of which Mr.. Taft has a prophetic
vision will not be found kneeling be-
fore the ancient tariff idol. The DEM
ocratic party will do for prohibitive
or extortionate duties what the re-
publican party did for slavery, and
under experiences of the policy of just
imposts laid, not for private enrich
ment but for public revenue, the re-
publican party of the coming years
will be as little disposed to re-enact
the Payne-Aldrich taxes as tina In
teresting and wide-awake Virginian.

repeal of the Thirteenth amendment.

Taft. that the structure Of our gov

our judges and the representative

preserved. and that patriotic duty
commands resistance to the designs OF

habit of great parties to live when
they escfew error, write truth into
their creed. and put their trust in wise

higher assurance of its enduring vi

MIR. Taft when he denounced all pro-

augury that leading men Of the party

THE CASE OF CASTRO.

Castro appealing or contestins for
admittance to the United States is il
iudicrous pawn of fate. according to
the Chicago Tribune. This former
petty tyrant Of insolent speech and
atrocious deed made the American
people much trouble and threatened
TO make them more. 1t was hardly
his fault tina We did not encounter
serious International difficulties. He
disturbed the peace and he invited the
wrath Of foreign Manifestations we
could not permit to take the measures
against him demanded by his own
acts.
In his fallen estate he Is an engage
ing rascal Of shrewd philosophy. He
wishes only to visit the United States
that he may become better acquainted
with the "land Of freedom" Unfor-
~tunately the sheer has enough truth
behind it to sting.
The gates Of the Land Of freedom"
are being guarded by officials who are
consulting p%rejudices rather than law
in passing on the requests Of aliens
for adnittance. Castro has been de-
testable. hui he has vet to become
the kind OF man barred by law from
entering this country. He is the de-
posed ruler OF Il foreign country. The
items of our complaints against. him
are not the specifications of Il lust
prohibition.
We care nothing for Castro. If he
meets injustice he has earned it, but
we cannot afford to set up precedents
Of barring this country to political
refugees. 1t is hostile to our national
thought.

the United States is merely TO justify
his sheer that he wishes to become

In the case OF Myths We should
not be the rod of another nations

should not he the victims Of our own

anime carefully the reasons.

COMMERCIAL CRIMES.

Thai thing is a crime which the
Legislative body of the state declares
to be a crime. The legislative body
may use poor judgment and declare
things to be crimes which are not
wrong. But the thing is a crime.
nevertheless. if so declared by COM
petent authority. We have TWO gem
eral classes Of crimes. those which
are i'll themselves recognized hy cons
mon consent TO i've wrongful acts and
against public policy. and those which
are in themselves harmless. or which
are SO considered. but which have
been listed by the legislature a. GRIM
inal. In the former class arc acts of
Violence, whether against person or
property. In the latter class are what
may he termed commercial crimes.
acts which require Il special statute
TO place them in the list of forbidden
things.
a mans acts may be reviewed as TO
their legality by a judge, without jury.
provided there is no accusation OF
crime. We have had many instances
of late in which courts have declared
certain things illegal and ordered
their discontinuance. and it seems to
he comparatively easy to secure de-
cisions of this character if the case
is reasonably plain. II is not easy
to secure conviction when a COM
mercial crime is charged. If both
cases were decided by the same set OF
people we might suspect that the
courts were very tender of the err
SONS and pockets Of wealthy men.
But the men do not decide both
sorts Of cases. When a man is charg-
cd with violation of the criminal Sec
tons Of the Sherman act. for instance,
he is tried by a jury, and it has been
found one of the most difficult things
in the world to persuade a jury to
agree to a verdict which will deprive
- man Of his liberty or subject him
,u n personal fine on such a charge.
Men rail at the courts. but it is not
1ho courts that have freed the de.
PENDANTS in the beef trust cases. for
instance. The acquittals in this and
si:nilsr cases have been the acts Of
%.iHri.s, chosen from the general citi-
3enship. accepted by both state and
defense. and as far as We know how
to get them. And. il the verdic,s
are not just, We nus hold response.

tatives the juries are.

ARSENIC IN EVERYTHING.
Science to Clear Woman Convicted
Poisoning In 1910.
Non. Nnrl Amarin

New York American.)
Thanks to the scientific Prince AL
bert OF Monaco and Gabriel Bertrand
OF the Pasteur institute, science has
succeeded in solving an alleged muir
der myster OF Paris which occurred
in 1870.
Madame Lefarge, young. beautiful.
socially distinguished and witty. was
accused of having poisoned her hus-
servitude for life. Her marriage was
an unhappy one. and the accusation
aid h gave her husband arsenic.
Almost three quarters Of a century
ago France f1ercely discussed this case
SO that the country was divided into
Lefargites and anti-Lefargites. az,
more recently, into D~reyfousards and
nti.Dreyfousards. Now Gabriel Bert
rand. Sorbonne professor and direc-
tor OF biological chemistry at the Pas
teur institute, has demonstrated there
is arsenic in. everything. To make his
conclusion doubly certain he experi-
mented upon animals taken from the
bed of the sea during the scientific
cruise of the Prince Of Monaco. He
found arsenic in all. and. being from
the depths of the ocean, they could
not have swallowed it.
Prince Albert furnished many ami
mails for experiments, and the conclu-
sion is that arsenic is in all organ
isms. Hence Madame Lefarge was
wrongly condemned and the famous
criminal lawyer, Henry Robert, will
soon bring her case before the courts
to get the decision reversed concern
ing a woman who has been dead 81
years.
After the condemnation the famou.
scientist. Raspail. who arrived toe
late for the trial. wrote to the presi.
dent of the assizes:
Give me whatever You like, even
your armchair, and on examining it
wager l will find arsenic in it,"
