A Friendless Tariff.
(New York Times.)


 General Atterbury is the latest prominent Re- publican to take up his parable against the Hawley- Shoot tariff. To be sure, he did not mention that sacred document by name, but spoke emphatically about the folly of building tariff walls which tend to separate the different countries into dramatically sealed compartments far commerce is con- cerned." Even emphatically he asserted that of all countries in the world the United States should be the last to fall back upon the compacent assumption that it is wholly "sef-contained," and has need of exchanging products with other na- tions Indeed General Atterbury, who dis cussing, the business outlook had no hesitation in declaring that "impediments to international trade are one of the greatest obstacles in the way of commercial recovery" Such utterance from a powerful Pennsylvania Republican ought to be cut out and sent to the two United States Senators from that State, with the request that they paste it in their hats for future reference.
 Other influential Republicans have expressed horrid doubts about the wisdom of the tariff which their party put through Congress and which their President signed Even man like Representative Shell, prominent in the House, and now candidate for Speaker in the next Congress, has intimated that if he had to do it over again he would not vote for the high rates of the existing tariff law Almost one is tempted to say that it has not a single friend left.

Chicago Methods in London.
(New York Times)


 The stories of gang warfare which out of Chicago have been regarded in England with something of the attitude of small boy toward a penny thriller-a combination of horror and en- tertainment In commenting on the defeat of Big Bll,' The London Morning Post congratu- lates Chicago this gesture condemning the old lawless regime, but warns Londoners against point ing the finger of reproach at Chicago.
 Various raids in the Chicago manner have recently occurred in that city. One took place in the early morning in Kingsway, main thorough fare in the heart of London. A road-sweeper was held up at the point of pistol, while two men smashed shop window snatched number of watches and escaped in waiting car This was the fourth of series of raids at the place within the past six months, and there have been similar hod-ups in other districts of the city
 The most alarming feature of this outbreak is the fact that the robbers have drawn guns and threatened to them In London policemen do not carry firearms, the truncheon being their only weapon. So far they have proved extraordinarily efficient in maintaining order. The flourishing of pistols in the aw-abiding streets of London seems almost incredible.
 The speed of the automobile getaway is a factor of such hold-ups to encourage bandits and baffle the police But in her pursuit of criminals England has two aids which Chicago lacks-Scotland Yard and Edgar Wallace
