WILL THEY EXPLAIN? Says theNashville American: "About July 1, southern senators who are acting with" republicans on the tariff schedules will be coming home. Just how they will explain some of their votes it is not easy to tell." That is the opinion of our contemporary. It is not our belief that these sena tors will be called upon by very many people to explain.

The southern peaple are ahead of the politicians in respect of the tariff. Some politicians say a protective tariff is robbery: there are hundreds of people in the south who do not believe it. They believe a protective tariff is a good thing for the na PIANO-PLAYER That DOES NOT CONTAIN THE It is useless to expect to find on other Piano-play- ers, the features that have given the Pianola and Pianola-Piano their standing amogg musicians.

L. Carty Offers Prac tical Suggestions in His Address. Hon. T. L.

Carty addressed an interested audience last night at the Lincoln Park Presbyterian church in the cause of awakening a greater interest among the people in the enforcement of laws on the statute books. After regular devotional exercises the speaker of the evening was introduced and appealed for a steady, rational, and unflagging enforcement of law. lie took for his text the following qnotation rrom von lbering Struggle for Law: "The historical development of law presents us with a picture of research, struggle, fight; in short, of toilsome wearying endeavor. Cast in the chaotic whirl of human aims, endeavors, and interests, it has forever to feel and to seek, in order to find the right way. and when it has found It, to overthrow the obstacles that would impede its course." "A principle of law won without toil is on a level with the children bronght by the stork: what the stork has brought, the fox or the vulture may take away again.

But from the mother who gave birth, neither the fox nor the vulture can take the child just as little can a people be deprived of the laws or institutions which they have had to labor and to bleed for, in order to obtain. We may have even claim that the energy and love with which the people hold to and assert their laws, are determined by the amount of toil and effort which it costs them. Not mere custom, but sacrifice, forges the strongest bond between a people and their principles of legal right; and God does not make a gift of what it needs to the nation he wishes well, nor does he make the labor necessary to its acquisition easy, but difficult. In this sense, I do not hesitate to say the struggle needed by laws to fight their way Into existence, is not a curse bnt a blessing. He showed that our laws have cost us fometnmg: tnat they are not tningsi of instant growth, but that we have fought for them for many years.

The car intant in season and out ot sea for these years and years, the Louisville Courier-Journal has too4 between the country and it party on one side, and the robbery of protec- ion on the other, and has been ccyiug aloud and sparing not. And in all that time it has not grown weary in well doing. Yet, while the spirit is as will ing as ever, the indications are that the flesh growing weaker. The brilliant editor of that paper, who has had long experience as an expound er of the essential doctrines of the faith ful, "has not much concerned himself with the curious pot-pouri of discords selfishness a nd duplicity which has taken the floor of the senate of the United States, and which calls itself a tariff debate;" he has let "the stream of tergiversation and donble-dealing flow on its limp and languid way- without wonder or remark." To the party with which the editor of the Courier-Journal has acted and whieh he has on so many occasions so eloquently defended, he is now ready to sorrowfully say.

"Oh democracy, democracy, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!" His conclusions are embodied In the following paragraph; The CourieKTnyrnal fought, h'ed and died as a Tariff Reformer -dnrine the decades intervening between 18t and 1890. Beginning in 1870 with the demand that "all Custom Home taxation fihnll be only for revenue," to end in 1890. "with the abandonment of Revenue Reform for Free Silver and a Semi-Protectionist fusion with Republicans and popnlists the democratic party has made circuit of mot of the fad and fancies of the nioderu groping about after TTtoma, pome of them wise and many- of them otherwise, but all of them abortive. 'While the democratic party stood np like a stone wall against the heresy of protection, the editor of the Courier-Journal was ready at all times to say to the cohorts of "robbery: "Lay on MicDuff. and damned be he who first cries hold, enough!" But since the brethren, so many, of them, have become "pap suckers" he.

like the noble Caesar, when attacked by the mob, and when Brutus gave him a fatal stab, is on the point of exclaiming, "et in It is something pahiful always, to Fee the hero of a battle go down in sorrow ant defeat; bnt the gloom of the occa sion is somewhat relieved when such hero goes down with flying colors, remaining defiant I the last. In this case the clouds hovering over a great cause that has been so ruthlessly betrayed in the house of its supposed friends, are given something of a Hver lining by the final paragraph in the editorial to which allusion is here made, and from which the -above-is -an extract. This final paragraph, the parting shot, is here given The country is peeine how it was in the jcnrrent goings on in the senate.

Hurrah for piracy! Long wave the black flag!

One of these days there will come a season of famine and tiien we" shall have prairie fire, sweeping all before lh And now if the "robbing is to go on, if the country is brought to the verge of. the precipice and takes the fatal leap into the darkness below; if the party that has saved the nation from an insurmountable wave of the demni-tion-bowwows since the days of Jefferson, is about to bow down and worship the golden calf; if the days of the republic are about to come to a close, the able and brilliant editor of our able and highly esteemed contemporary may well say: "Shake not thy gory locks at me; thou canst not say I did "Books are like food and different people need different kinds," remarks the Washington Star, and It assumes that Dr. Eliot Had not thought of this when aiving a list of the best books.

The ability of these two "gentlemen as lawyers will not be questioned.

The President himself has made a reputation as a lawyer. He served on the bench, both state and federal, and made an enviable reputation as a judge. He will give the bill a careful reading and pass upon whether it is iu conflict with the constitution in any The course adopted is a wise one. There are many able lawyers in this country, and like doctors, they sometimes differ. When the constitutionality or tlie precise meaning of a statute is challenged, the courts are called upon to settle it.

It is then that the able lawyers get in their work. And that what the President knows as well as any one. He has opportunity for knowing. It is to his credit that he does not attempt to conceal the fact that he has asked eminent lawyers like Senator Root and the attorney-general to draw a bill in the enactment into law of which he is interested. He, first sent a message to congress advocating the.

enactment of a law nnder whieh the earnings of corporations would be taxed and then he asked the gentlemen named to draw the bill. He has made no secret of it. His purpose is to have a law, if it becomes a law, the validity of whieh will not be challenged. Or, if it should be challenged, it may. ho wants nne that will "held w.ipr" mm I I th saying portant measure befora introduction i congress could enjoy some such scrutiny.

If tLat is defective, the trouble Is not r.lways by debate. If that Is strong, so much the better for any sug-irestiriis made upon a clear understanding of what is proposed. When the constitutionality or precise meaning of a law is chlleng it is by men tru-iued in nice controversy and with professional pride aroused. They are not hobbled by any consideration of politics. They hove their fees In their iiockets.

Still, there Is no way entirely safe tn the business. What one lawyer may put together another may take apact. Isew propesitlou-s- develop new lines of thought, ami invite controversy.

Washington tar. Student Humor.

"If he Is a good student he will simply leave a hlaivk sqare. while if he is not lie will either try to bluff it through or el'e It off a Joke. These latter "n-ses ore rare, and the result is generally painful and does harm to the student who wrote the paper. Occasionally, however, tbere will be a real gem.

which does the good by putting the professor in a good humor nnd so waking him unconsciously mark the paper less severely. I came across two such gems in one papr reeetitly. One question was: "Who was St. To which the student replied St. liriino was a great Ifctne, a brother Cf t.

Self-Forgetful. President Taft is fond of children, which whom he is a favorite. A charming story on this head comes from Cincinnati.

Once when a pretty Cincinnati girl was a child of six or seven, Mr. Taft, calling at her house, found nobody home excepting herself. She entertained him a little while, and when he rose to go, he stooped down' and kissed her. "Here's one," he said, "for the baby. Here is' another for little Jim.

And is third for BiIlie-Ioy." The little girl, drawing herself up. said haughtily she had been reading a novel "Mr. Taft. you forget yourself." He bent down again. "So did." he laughed.

A heathen Chinese who may say he has been converted, may' not hare been converted. Once more the story is being circulated that Secretary Wilson is to. leave the cabinet, next December. The belief is gaining around that the soft drink stands do not' all confine their sales to the soft drink variety. President Taft may not be in favor of simplified spelling; bnt he seems to be master of simplified writing.

Yet there are some senators who think mor about Philippine independence than they 'do" of American independence, If, Chicago does not happen to have sane Fourth of July, It will be very vexinc to the newspapers of the windy city. The legislature of Georgia is in session, and the people of that state are entitled, to the sympathies of the neighbor.

The President does not expect to get into his summer quarters before the first of Angust. He may not get congress of his hands before that date.

Where there are too many early birds there may not be enough worms to' go around, and the later one may stand just as good a chance to get a share. Abe Ruef may be glad that the Calhoun trial came along; it served to give him a rest, and to show that he is not the only bad one in city at the Golden Gate.

But all the same it is not seen that the horse has any kick coming on that account. The Macon News estimates the loss In three counties in Georgia, on account of sheep killed by dogs, at ten thousand dollars. But what right have the farm ers to keep sheep that bite the dogs? The sugar trust is willing to go down in its 'pocket and refund when caught up with in frauds; but for a few of its managers to take lodging in-the penitentiary would be quite a different thing.

Senator Taylor has had his say on the tariff, and while he may have made no conversions he has hurt nobody's feelings. And for the matter of throwing light on the subject, it may be assumed that he did as much of that as some who hare addressed the senate in a more serious vein. The Charleston News and Courier has It that enough saloon keepers will go from Tennessee to Texas to make their number equal to that of the lawyers in the Lone Star state, and to find room, that paper assumes that some of them will have to do business in the top stories of the skyscrapers. There are over a hnndred thousand Tennesseans in Texas, and if they can find what they want in no other way, they will go to the top stories. nnce not without the spilling of blood also.

They know it has been in the past, they believe it will be in the future. Whatever opposition there has been in the south in the past quarter of a century, to a protective tariff, has been a sentiment, not a principle.

The party in tower in-nearly, all the southern states has made it a point to oppose a protective tariff, aud the people hare voted the ticket from force of habit, not because of to a protective tariff. They have been thinking, thinking of their own interests, of the interests of the section in which they live. They have seen how southern industries have multiplied and how successful they have become under the protective policy. They have witnessed a diversification of industries such as has never before been seen in the southern states. They have seen many thiugs that the politicians have not seen, which perhaps the politicians have not cared to see.

Those southern senators who have been voting with the republicans on the tariff schedules will not be asked to explain, by very many people. Most of the people understand It, and they will endorse wht has been done by their senators. BITS OF BRIGHTNESS. "Why do you run your car slowly these days?"

Among the patients in the private ward of a Philadelphia hospital there was recently a testy old millionaire ot that city, whose case gave his physicians considerable difficulty at first. "Well," asked the crusty old patient one morning, "how do you nnd me now, eh?" "You're gettine alone fine." responded the doctor, rubbing his hands with an air of satisfaction. "Your leges are still swollen: but that doesn't trouble me." "Of course it doesn!" howled the old man. "And let me tell you thi: If your legs were swollen, it wouldn't trouble me, either!" o- Prosperity. When railroads place big orders for freight cars the real note of coming prosperity has been struck.

And there is no discord to mar the harmony. Transportation is the final act in the process of production, for it completes all the other transactions by placing the fin ished article in the hands of the consumer. So transportation means consumption, nnd when thre is a demand for goods, every artery of commerce feels its revivifying effect. This is where the call for more cars comes in, for it, means not only the employment of labor to make cars, but the employment of Inbor to make the innumerable articles hat the cars aro needed to carry.
