Senator Penrose's Tariff Stand.

Senator PENROSE Is right Wnen ne
says there Is no difference Of opinion
in the country at large as to the neces-
sity Of safeguarding the home market
for our farmers. The American
farmer must be kept on his job or the
American people will starve. The
American farmer must get living
out of his work and investment or
the American people cannot get livings
out of theirs. And If the American
farmer cannot get his living out Of
our own home market he cannot get it
anywhere. We are all agreed as to
that. But the American farmer can
gain nothing, nobody can, out Of ham,
strlnging home buying power.
Among those who want to save the
farmers the difference Of opinion re-
garding the crude, bungling emergency
tariff bill rushed through the House of
Representatives is as to whether some
of the schedules are right or wrong ;
whether they would hurt the general
worker and consumer more than they
seek to help the farmer.
II the emergency tariff measure, by
the losses it may infiict upon the pub
lie, by the bad effect it may have on
our general exports, by the mills and
factories 1t may close and the unem-
ployment 1t may cause, weaiens the
general purchasing market here at
home 1t can do the farmer more harm
than good.
Tariff schedules, finance corpora
tions, large loans or cheap loans could
never make good prices for agr,cul-
tural products In the American mar
ket IL the bottom were knocked out
Of 1t.
THE NEW YORK HERALD was among
the very first to urge action that
would save the farmer from ruin and
keep him raising crops to feed this
nation first and help to feed others
afterward. THE New YORK HERALD
ulu uUJ COIuuc llS Recommendations
merely to tariff protection for the
farmer. 1t suggested possible read
justment of injurious exchanges; 1t
favored the financing of export manu-
facturers to maintain the purchasing
power Of American wage earners con-
suming American crops.
But THE New YoRK HERALD agrees
with Senator PENRosE, agrees with
him decidedly, that the Ill advised
rates in the emergency tariff bill
should be modified, some Of them
drastically. If they cannot be so
modified the measure would better be
killed, for 1t very easily could prove
more of curse than blessing to the
American farmer as we'll as to the
whole country.

Al Ellis Island.

He dreamt OF sailing for n far of shore,
Where all was wonderful and folk
were kind,
Where one might wealth OF work and
comrades find
And fate waved smiling TO an open door
Where fortune In ones outstretched
hands should pour.
And 30 he sold his little farm and
came
To earn competence and home and
name,
That he might send for one whose love
he bore
But now grief broods In his bewildered
eyes.
That, though for opportunity he prays.

How he in lore Of neld and farm is wise.
But. send him back---his high hopes
shattered quite
Only because he cSnnot read or write.

How Evil Is a Crook

1t is not slanderous. per Sc, to call
Il person crook. Such recently was
the decision of the Appellate Division,
First Department, but the vote was
three to two and the longer opinion,
and perhaps the more interesting, was
that of the dissenting Judges.
The case itself was simple enough.
One woman said of another:N MA
dame - Is a crook" In the Su-
preme Court the woman who was
called crook was successful in a
suit against the other woman. But
the Hon. WALTER LLOYD SMITH, in
the majority opinion Of the Appellate
Division, to which the case was ap-
pealed, denies the contention of the
respondent that "crook" Is slanderous
of itself because it imputes an in
dictable crime.
by common experience" says JUS
tice SMITH, 1--WE know that the word
crook is applied to persons who are
not guilty of crime" He cites the
definitions Of "crook" in the Century
and Oxford dictionaries to prove that
''crook" no more imputes criminal
conduct than "blackleg," "swindler"
or "cheat," all of which words courts
have held not to be slanderous unless
used in connection with ones business
or trade.
The dissenting opinion is from the
pen Of the Hon. VICTOR J. BOWLING,
with whom the Hon. ALFRED r. PAGE
concurred. "a crook is necessarily
crooked" writes Justice DowLING,
land to be crooked has been a term
of reproach for centuries" The King
James Bible speaks of "a perverse
and crooked generation" the same
phrase appears in the Douay Bible as
"a wicked and perverse generation"
Justice BOWLING evidently groups
these quotations as evidence that
crooked" Is synonymous with "wick-
ed" He quotes also FRANCIS BA-
CON, who used "crook" as a verb in
an evil sense; MABcH's Thesaurus,
which defines crooked" as 'dishon-
est" SToRMoNTH's dictionary, which
makes crooked mean without rec
titude :" FARMER AND HENLEY's diction-
ary of slang, which says the phrase
crooked as a Virginia fence" is ap-
piled to persons difficult to keep
straight, and the "slang dictionary"
which defines crooked" as anything
stolen"
Justice BOWLING suggests that the
first use Of the word in sinister
sense may have sprung from the use
of shepherds crook to catch, the
hinder leg of sheep, even as "crimi-
nal gentry delight in tripping up the
unwary and profiting by their fall"
But now, he declares, "crook" has
passed into "a settled and accepted
meaning" The Standard Dictionary
defines crook as "a professional
rogue; n criminal or one consorting
with criminals; a person recognized
by the authorities as belonging to the
criminal class; swindler; sharp;
cheat" This dictionary quotes from
THE SUN of June 10, 1891:
THE slang word crook now bids
fair to be recognized in the statutes
and consequently TO be adopted as
good English in the courts OF law.
A bill regulating admissions TO the
prison at Marquette excludes. among
other classes OF individuals specified,
those known to be crooks In police
parlance."
Under the weight of so much def
milton Justice BOWLING found himself
unable to regard "crook." as spoken
and understood in the sense charged
by the innuendo. as otherwise than
slanderous per sc. But, as we said,
he was outvoted three to two.
