"GARBLlNG" THE SPEECHES OF
 LEGISLATORS

The other day We Were accused by
 one of the members of the Provincial
 parliament of having garbled d speech
 which he made on the floor. Without
 any more ado. let us at once plead
 guilty to this accusation. In fact, we
 will go little further and tell this
 gentleman, and all whom il may con-
 cern, that with the exception of such
 speeches as are reported verbatim. all
 others that appear in all the. press of
 all the world are 'garbled." We owe
 it to ourselves to Vindicate our meth
 OdS, and so it becomes our duty at this
 stage to make a slight disquisition on
 the word "garble" Primarily it means
 to cull out and select the best and most suitable parts, ito select and as sort, rejecting the bad and least suit able" But it will be said that this is mere casustry. and that "garble" has another and opposite meaning. This much we will grant, while pointing out that the meaning of the term as indi- cated by the sorting out of parts for a purpose" while in common use. is hardly warranted by the derivation of the word. which is from the old French, garbeller meaning to sift Spanish garbiller, meaning to sift or if you like it better, the Arabic, gharbil, sieve. And now since we have shown to the best of our ability the true technical meaning of the word 'garble," let us give little instance to make our pur- pose clearer. Some years ago a mem Der of parliament at Westminster de 1 liVered a speech of which a synopsis duly appeared in the London Times. The same day the legislator betook himself to the editor of that paper in high dudgeon and complained bitterly that his speech had been "garbled' so badly that it made him look like a fool Very we'll" was the editors. reply, 1 the next time you speak on the floor

 if this is the case we want the goods delivered" We believe that the best means of securing them is through a permanently established partisan tariff commission, of good men whose reputation is at stake. not on the question of whether or not they ac- cOmplish results for certain industries. but on the question of whether they produce facts and figures which will stand analysis and investigation as to their being correct and fair. Such figures presented to congress as a basis for tariff revision we be- lieve would prevent nine tenth of the evils resulting from tariff trading. and if these figures were secured calmly and dispassionately, on a care fully established system there is no reason why they should not be as equitable and fair to all as it is pos sible for human machinery to pro- , duce
 The tariff is a practical business question. not question of sentiment It is a question on which every man s ] judgment, whether he be producer or consumer, is likely to be warped by his interest to en extent which makes ' it peculiarly desirable that there ! should be some body of men in whom

For the first time since the an of the Ben Greet players to Phoenix to entertain one of the audiences of the Young Mems Christian association in the Star entertainment course, it has been definitely settled that the production will be the "Comedy of F,r- TOTS one of the lightest, airiest and most fascinating of all Shakespeare's attractive comedies. The lyceum bu- reau under which the Ben Greet play CTS are now booking, sent word to the association the other day that the comedy had been selected in prefer ence to GOldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer"
 In presenting this delightful little comedy, which is one of the first three
 written by Shakespeare, the Redpath
 bureau enters upon new phase of it's
 work. The Lyceum is giving it's pa
 irons a play of real literary quality as
 well as d comedy of continual action
 The dramatic construction is faultless;
 the time of the story is the same as
 that occupied by it's development. It's
 original source is Latin, being a free
 adoption of the "Menachmi" of Platus.
 It's locale is of tttle consequence, al though Shakespeare has transferred it to picturesque Ephesus. The action could quite as easily be placed at New York, London, san Francisco, or any of the several Athens of this country. It's Greek costumes could be just as easily be Partisan. The play, although somewhat short gains enormously by | keeping the action at swift pace There is not much serious sentiment l but what there is. is introduced in masterlN fashion by the playwright l The characters are made to blend har- 1 moniously with each other, and no one l of them stands out more prominently l than another

Arthur Fletcher of the New York Giants is having a hard time winning back his old place as regular short stop.
 Art Shafer, substitute shortstop last season, is making a great bid for the position in training camp at Marlin, Texas. Both Fletcher and Shafer are fielding so brilliantly and batting so hard that Manager McGraw almost wishes his whole infield was made of ShortstopS.
 Fletcher in 129 games last year bat ted 2S2 and felded .927; while Shafer in 31 games at shortstop fielded .927. He batted six points better than his rival.
