BAD LEADERSHIP.

What leadership can do even under fhs rsGrict1ons Of prison life Is well dis riosed by the riot which was recently Etzgsd in the penftentiary at Pittsburgh whers almost the entire number of pris- ouers, women as well as men, those there hoT a short term as wen as lters under took to gain their freedom at any cost ne aght was a well organized and de- t.rutned one. Desperate ieaoership lnew no limit and the result was that iives vers lost and much property was destroyed. 10 say nothing of the lnjur- isu received before the outbreak was ended
 Apparenuy lt was a case where eer- tain ones had grown tired of discipline. believed that they should be granted all ths attmtion n the penfentia-y that miEnf hs expected in a emo house were able to EDrszd their doctrine among their fsnow inmates and when there was a TO- e11ai of cigaxsetss and face powder to Ehs nen and women the riot started.

dence of the lack of appreciation. So far as the reports have revealed it does not appear that the outbreak was in any way due to harsh practices. It seemed to have been the result of plot among those who made up their mind that they should determine when they had paid the pen atty for their crimes. and being willing to commit more in order to get their freedom were able to win most of the institution's inmates to their way of thinking
 Such conduct cannot fa4 10 gTve set back to much of the good work that has been done in behalf of better conditions in penal institutions. Those involved in this particular affair certainly have no reason to anticipate any 1eniency hence forth. They have simply added to their troubles and proved again the danger of bad leadership

"A woman who wants to be popu- lar nowadays" bgan the girl who had 8 lot of ideas. ~has to be perfect chameleon

 "Yes, that's what I nean," contin- ued the girl who had a lot of ideas. after all I've just been reviewing You do learn something in high school my last week and thinking that I've been one-I mean chameleon-my- self.

SPECIAL MAIL SERVICE.

It is interesting to note that the post master general has found it necessary to deny the statement that he proposes to increase the rate on special delivery letters from 10 to 25 cents. It is remem- berod of course that he has been point ing out the need of economy, of better service without loss to the department through q curtailment of expenditures and of increased facilities for betterins the mail service. The idea of having the special delivery rate. more than doubled has in fact brought fore considerable opposition.
 There is a feeling that thr sooc'o7 T Z, livery service Is not what it should be. that time and again it amounts to noth- ing more than the regular service and that there is no assurance that what is paid for will be obtained. On the other hand the position has been taken that there are those who would be perfectly willing to pay the higher rate if they could be insured a corresponding in- crease in special delivery service. That there would be general opposition to an increase in such rate if there was nc bettsrment can be readily appreciated Tn connection with the improvements which are being instituted and those that are planned for the post office service there are good reasons for believing that the special delivery service will come ir
 for it's share of attention The state ment by the postmaster general that tht Iplan to increase the rate for the service
 is incorrect indicates that in due time | | Is reasonable to expect improved specia delivery service as well as better mai
 service in general Certainly there coulc l be no toleration of 25 cent special de
 livery service if 1t was not intended t furnish the equivalent of the increaset
 rate in service. Administration detail are. however, getting attention. The!
 give promise of much relief and 1t 1 lnot improbable that if the time evel
 comes when a 25 cent special deliver, rate is charged 1t will be for the rem
 alton of services not included under tn
 existing special delivery service. On
 messenger to each special letter instea
 of one for all or many of them nighi
 warrant a higher rate.

OUR DRY RULINGS.

In connection with some of the rulings in regard to liquor under the prohibit tion law there are decisions to indicate that we strain at gnat and swallow a camel Perhaps this is no better illus trated than by the ruling of the attorney general that a number of cases of whis- key which are being brought to this country on a British steamer with the idea of being transshipped in New York harbor to another British ship going to Bermuda can be seized by the United States authorities.
 At first it might seem that this steam ship line ought to know better than to undertake a violation of the prohibition laws of this country, but in doing what it is doing and in demanding an injunc- tion in the courts of this country to pre- vent any interference with the trans shipment it doesn't appear that 1t Is en- gagged in the manufacture, sale or im- portation of. liquors for beverage pur- poses since there is only to be trans fer here of the liquor which is going to British territory. '
 But aside from that feature it is the claim of the line that under an exist ing treaty British goods destined for British possessions can be transferred through this country without the pay ment of duties. in return for which this country is permitted to ship goods ir bond through Canadian territory, and that such a treaty cannot be ended with.
 out two lear notice
 II of course remains to be seen wheth
 CT such contentious are holeproof, but whether there are treaty obstacles ol
 not it is plainly evident that such trans
 fers of liqu2r will mean nothing to thu dry conditions in this country. The Ii quor will affect this country no nor
 than as if 1t were transferred at sea. I would seem as If we were making a bil
 fuss over nothing while paying little 0
 no attentio nto the open violations 0
 tho prohibition laws which are takin, iplace throughout the country every da.
 and making small effort to block thos limportatons which are intended for us and are being used for beverage purpose in the United States. There are time i nour prohibition rulings when we tr to stand up so straight that we fall owe backward and at other times pay littl attention to actual violations

THE TARIFF BuI.

Tho passage of the tarin bill h the house has been accomplished at about the time that 1t was predicted when It was presented. The action was decisive and it included a number of amendments % the measure. Fights that were staged upon the embargo feature of the dye schedule succeeded on the ground that it was never Intended to favor the dye industry to the extent of making it a monopoly. Likewise those efforts that were made 70 put tax on oil were sub- merged while the plan 10 tax hides and % put a tarif on asphalt aroused strong and successful opposition. Better judg- ment prevailed at the last minute.
 Passage by the lower house does not moan that the senate will push the bill through or that it will adopt it in siml- lar form when the time comes for act Ing upon it In transferring the meas are Co the senate there will be opened up another line Of inquiry since this is che first opportunity the upper house has -ad to delve into this problem since .ariR bills must originate in the lower house A the same time it is not im- probable that sending the matter 10 the senate will permit of the sidetracking of ths tarih until action can be taken upon ne more important question of tax re- vision.
 Certainly the senate will not under take the passage of the tariff bill within meh a short period as has been done r the house. It can be relied upon to deliberate and in the meantime all pos nhls effort should he put forth in bring ng the tax revision measure up. That is tno,hsr matter that must originate ir he house and it Is upon that body that pressure Is being brought to hasten its presentation though it is Q matter that nust be given careful attention.
