A SHERIFF "OX THE JOB."
The Sheriff of Alexander County,
131.. is . appare determined to dis
pel £ome of the Egyptian darkness of
Cairo, even if be has to do so with the
ikishes of death-dealing rifles, We are,
i: is true, unable to understand upon
precisely what theory of either pru
dence or humanity he or the Governor
insisted anon letting the either dead or
wounded body of one of the criminals
-who sought to storm the jail remain
bring on the courthouse steps all night.
We should think he might better have
let three or four unarmed men enter
and ear it away. Dead or alive, that
would have been a more fitting dis
position of it. Thai, however, is merely
by the way. • The essential thing was
his performance of duty in protecting
his prisoners from mob violence and
thereby protecting the sovereign law of
the state from Clouting and outrage. In
that, though at dreadful cost, he did
well, and be deserves the gratitude >f
all his countrymen, and particularly of
his misguided fellow citizens of Cairo.
The state of affairs at Cairo is an
Illustration, drawn in lurid tints, of
precisely what we uave hitherto fre
quently anticipated, that the savage ap
petite of the lynching mob grows on
that on which it feeds until it becomes
Insatiable. If lynchings were restricted
absolutely to inflicting retribution for
atrocious crimes against women, as some
have declared, and especially those in
which there seemed to be no assurance
of adequate legal punishment, it would
still be indefensible, though it might be
explicable. But that Is not the case.
The standard of criminality for which it
is to be inflicted has been steadily low
ered, until now. as at Cairo, lynching
is by a certain element of the community
regarded as the proper punishment for
any petty offence. From doing men to
death for purse snatching, or for even
less offences, to the deliberate butchering
of entirely innocjent men just for the
sake of gloating over torture and death
is a short and easy step.
The Sheriff of Alexander County did
his duty, first in warning the mob of the
consequences of its lawlessness, next by
emphasizing his warning with a blank
volley, and at las 1 , and promptly by di
recting his men to shoot to kill. ' It was
a dreadful thing to do. but the alter
native was immeasurably more so. The
Sheriff's men hot to kill lawbreakers in
defence of the law. if we had more
j-ueh officers we should have fewer oc
casions for such exhibition of their
quality. • i
DICALIXG WITH THE LORDS.
One of the most regrettable features
of the political .situation in the United
Kingdom is the attitude of the Nation
alists toward the House of Lords. They
are reported as declaring through their
leader. Mr. Bedmond, that they will
be satisfied with nothing leas than abo
lition of the veto power of that cham
ber. That would, of course, be pretty
nearly equal to outright abolition of
the House of Lords and the commitment
of all legislation to a single chamber.
I»esj»ite some ratify radical utterances
during the late campaign, which
savored of being made for campaign
purposes, it is to be doubted ii the gov
ernment desires to take so revolutionary
:t step, it bag not yet disclosed it
scheme, and in framing it may be in
fluenced lo some extent by the wishes of
its allies, upon whom ii must depend
for it.s majority, but we scarcely expect
to see ii adopt ■ policy which would oar
tainly provoke another dissolution at an
early date and involve the kingdom in
the* gravest political conflict since the
form bill.
The alternative plan Is Jo permit the
Boose <,f l 0 ,,:- to retain its veto power,
but so to reform its constitution, M to
make it worthy ta exercise that power.
Thai i- a policy which many members

NEW-YOKK DATLY TKIBUXE, SATURDAY, FEBRI ART 10, 1910.
the ablest "and most influential members
of tin- House of Lords, ami there la rea-
MO to believe that a measure to that
effect would be accepted and passed by
the House of Lords, while. - f course,
one simply abolishing its < „. power
and leaving its eomposiUc : anchiuiged
would be summarily rejected. The
question really is whether the. kingdom
Is to have a Parliament of a Single
chamber or of two chambers. The abo
lition of the veto, leaving the upper
house unreformed, would mean prac
tically a single chamber. The reforma
tion of that house, leaving its veto
power unimpaired, would mean legisla
tion by two worthy and efficient cham
bers __a system which we believe the
experience of the world shows to be by
far the better.
So nioinentuu.-s a change might weil be
made— indeed, we may say that it ought
to be mado — without partisanship. l\
is desired to make of the House of
Lords a body so representative of the
nation that it will be divided pretty
evenly between the two parties and
that it will be possible fur either party
to secure a majority in it. somewhat
as is the cafie with tho Senate of the
United States. Bat that end is scarcely
likely to be aimed at if the work of re
organizat&Dn is intrusted exclusively to
either party. It ought to be possible
for representative men of both parties
and of both houses to unite upon a
scheme which would be fair and just to
all concerned and which might be
adopted by Parliament with substantial
unanimity as :i measure not of partisan
advantage but cf national benefit
COMPLETING THE CIRCLE.
Austria-Hungary has now announced
Its purpose to exchange tariff courtesies
with the United States, thus practically
completing the circle of European coun
tries prepared to deal with us com
mercially on the "most favored nation"
basis. The Austrian government is will
ing to abandon what the United States
has considered discriminatory rates
against certain American imports, no
tably cottonseed oil. and on the strength
of that concession asks t<> have Austro-
Hungarian imports to the United states
admitted under the minimum schedule
i:i the Payne law. Some legislation by
the parliaments of Austria and Hungary
will be required to change the imperial
tariff, but the government at Vienna is
willing to give assurances that the
necessary changes will be made.
tin spite, therefore, of the hue and cry
raised when the Payne law was under
consideration, that its maximum sched
ule was intended to apply to all dutiable
imports, and that the minimum schedule
was merely a political hoax, virtually
our entire trade with Europe will con
tinue to be conducted after March 1 un
der the minimum schedule. These Euro
pean countries have now completed trade
iisrrer-ments with the United States: The
United Kingdom, Germany, Norway,
Sweden. Denmark, Russia, Turkey.
Italy, Switzerland, Spain. Belgium, the
Netherlands and Austria-Hungary. Por
tugal remains out. as do Rumania, Ser
riy. Bulgaria and France.
Our entire import trade from Euro
pean countries in the li^'Ml year 1908-'O9
amounted in value to $654,322,918, and
of this $108,000,000 came from France,
and from Portugal, Rumania, Servia and
Bulgaria lew than $7,000,000. Our ex
ports to European countries in 1908-'O9
were valued at $1,140,755,321. Of these.
commodities ralu€3 at $108,000,000 went
to France find romm<>ditios valued at
$4,500,000 to servia. Rumania and Bul
garia. It will bo seen from these figures
that our maximum-minimum scheme of
duties has produced exactly the results
expected of it. It has already assured
us fair terms in trade with practically
all of Europe and with practically all
the rest of the world.
WISDOM.
The state will conceive a new respect
for the wisdom of Mr. William Barnes,
jr.. of Albany, now that he bears wit
ness to having told Air. Lloyd C. Gris
com, of this city. "Governor Hughes -
wiser than you and 1 will ever be." Mr.
Barnes is wise enough to know that cir
cumstances have with extraordinary
regularity been justifying the judgment
of the Governor and impeaching his
own. He knows when things are going
the other fellow's way.
The Governor once remarked t<> an
acquaintance who was in Albany to
nrge certain legislation and who told
hi?n that the practical politicians were
all against it on the ground that it was
"politically unwise." "What they regard
"as wisdom often strikes me as pueril
"ity."' Is the Hon. William Barnes, jr..
so impressed wiih the Governor's polit
ical sagacity that, a* he thinks of all
the little "triumphs" of the Governor's
enemies— all the Dead Sea fruit of the
last four sessions — he is ready to accede
to the general truth of this remark?
THE STANDARD OF IIOXEBTY.
Decent remarks by a New York
lawyer in Chicago concerning current
revelations and prospective investi
gations and their results at Albany
suggest some considerations of the so
called standard- of honesty which are
too often overlooked, but which are
both pertinent and important. One is
that the standard of honesty is not a
relative and variable thing, like, Cor
example, the standard of efficiency.
There are degrees of dishonesty, no
doubt, but there are none >•( honesty.
A man must be entirely honest, or he is
not honest at all. That does not mean
that a dishonest man is incapable of an
honest or a noble action. Ii is an old
and a true saying that there is honor
among thieves — sometimes. Hut once a
man crosses the definite and absolute
line between honesty and dishonesty he
ceases to be entitled to be known as an
honest man.
A second consideration, \yhk-h is per
haps lost now more pertinent than the
former, is that the standard of honesty
is singular, not plural. It is everywhere
uniform. There cannot be one standard
for private life and one for public life,
one for business men and one for poli
ticians. The attempt to establish a dual
standard would be fallacious and mis
chievous. Some criticism, much of it
mistaken and misplaced, baa been di
rected against the Japanese for what
are described as then- two standards of
honesty, one for military life and one
for commercial life. We ourselves lire
far too much inclined to err in the sain.'
way with a discrimination between
business and political life.
Tor it must be noted that almost in
variably political dishonesty depends
upon business dishonesty. Bribery, for
example, aecetmariJy involves two par
ties, if a legislator is bribed, It is a
business man who bribe* him. We in. <—
said thai there are degree* of dishonesty.
and we may leave .i with casuists to
determine the comparative turpitude Pi
giving and of accepting a bribe, but it
goes without Saying that both acts are
dishonest and I hat the men who perform
them are dishonest. or is the case
greatly different when the legislator
takes the initiative and demands the
bribe) t practically levying blackmail.
The man wlio yields to blackmail is
culpable, particularly in sucu a case,
where a single brave and honest word
would cover the villanous attempt and
its maker with confusion.
The stream will uot riso above its
fountain. We cannot expect the virtue
of legislators to surpass that of their
constituents, It is, of course, no ex
culpation of unfaithful men in the pub
lic service to say that they were tempted
or corrupted by men in business life,
any more than it is an exculpation of
bribe givers In business life to say that
they were blackmailed by legislators.
Rut what is essential is that there shall
be a fuller understanding of the in
trinsic identity of public and private
virtue, and also, of course, of public
and private wickedness, and a recog
nition of the fact that the man who em
ploys a bribe for the furtherance of his
private interests is no less blameworthy
than the man who accepts a bribe for
tlie control of bis public acts. .

The Bureau of Statistics of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor has
just published figures .showing that im
portations of duty free merchandise into
the United States in the seven months
since tho Payne law went into effect
were valued at .?120,45:'>,922 more than
ihe duty free importations for the corre
sponding seven months of 1908-'O9. Du
tiable imports showed a gum in value of
$73,289,141. These figures fully substan
tiate President Taft's arguments. Will
his free trade critics coolly consider them
or continue to dismiss them as fabri
cated •'trumpery"?
The earthquake in Crete is not a bit

We gladly call "The Houston Post's"
attention to the fact that the postmaster
at South Gardner, Mass., who died In
that town on Thursday, had beld ; office
since 1854. He was appointed by Frank
lin Pierce, and must have been originally
a Democrat, though whether lie was able
to remain one through all the vicissi
tudes and vagaries of that party's his
tory is perhaps open to question. "The
Post' maintains that "the divine plan"
contemplates "the holding of all public
offices by the Democrats." Its some
times sorely tried belief in the final ful
filment of that divine intention will be
strengthened by the discovery that a
tenure of fifty-six years has been
achieved by a federal officeholder who at
si started as a Democrat.
THE TALK OF TBE DAY.
Pussy cat j-tock has taken a decided slump,

of the Anti-Cruelty Society. Mr. Krause's
tnten st in statistics concerning th© cat
population of Chicago, and particularly that
part of it made up of felines of th© boot
dodging caste, has been aroused through
an inspection of garbage boxes in the back
alleys where they have been wont to for
age. He iias discovered that the modern
householder provides his rook with an im
proved receptacle which does not admit of
exploration into its depths by hungry cats
and dujjs. The consequence is that these
animals without homes starve, or come
pretty near to it, says Mr. Krause.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
VALUE OF MINTED GOLD.
To th» Editor of The Tribun<\
Sir: The letter from "A Victim" in your
issue of the 17th on this much discussed
topic, "The Cost of I,iving," clearly indi
cates a misconception that has ;i Ptrnnj?
hold not only in the popular mind, hut, as
well, OB the part of eminent politicians
and financiers whoso reputations, by t;i» M .r
Indorsement, serve to perpetuate the fal
lacy.
"Victim" "understands that a sro'.d dollar
lias only one unchangeable value." His un
derstanding of the case is entirely wron^;
it id not si), nor can it, by the nature of
things, ever be so. The value of the dol
lar, let it be of gold, of silver or of paper,
cannot be fixed; the mint price of gold in
nowise determines the value of the dollar;
it is merely an assize of gold which gives
to gold of a certain fineness a definite value
for :i given quantity, and the value of the
dollar must he determined by the same
laws and in Una same manner as all value
is determined.
It la to the shame of Intelligent and en-
Ughtened people that this twaddle about
the effect of the increased production of
gold on prices is accepted from the high
and mighty in tne world of politics and
finance, for, it can be said in truth, this
false notion prevails even where ..early
salaries run into rive figures.

WIDOWS' PENSION BILL,
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Many of your readers were glad to
see your editorials in opposition to the ex
tension of pension Utneilts so as to include
widows of veterans who contracted mar
riage after June 27, 1890. ■
Is there to be no end to endeavors to en
large the conditions and the amounts of
pensions to soldiers and to their widows?
Uncle Sam has teen very liberal in the
financial expressions of his gratitude to the
soldiers of the Civil War. Forty-five years
after the close of that war the aainual pay
ment is about $160,000,080.
We wish long and happy lives to the vet
eran?, but, naturally, a steady and rapid
reducticn of the annual amount should
now be eefn.
Why should wom^n who knew nothing of
the sacrifices of war times and who. per
haps, were not born until the close of the
civil strife share in the pensions given to
soldiers' widows? They married twenty
five years or more after the end of the war
and took th^ir husbands on their merits,
with no assurance of a gratuity from ths
government.
It is to be hoped that Congress will have
backbone enough to resist the appeal now
made. JOHN K. JOKES.
New York, Feb. 17. 19K I .'
A JEW'S APPREHENSION.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The present unsatisfactory state of
affairs In New York City In reference to
the Hebrew immigrant and his future here
has for the last few jvars been the sub
ject of discussion by leading authorities.
The rcu'ilt of these various voiced opinions
is of great interest to all Hebrew-Amer
ican citizens living in Urn United States—
namely, that thousands cf prospective He
brew citizens will eventually be compelled
to fh:d employment outside oi New York
City.
It is obvious that the industrial and re
ligious welfare of the Jew in New York
cannot be maintained in the face of the
opposition that, his incrcasintr numbers here
art- sooner or later destined to contend
with. The entire history of the Jewish
race Ea >j. sure sign of the Industrial dan
gers to bo apprehended in New York unless
rpecial prov^ions are carzied out to divert
the flow of Jewish emigration from Man
hattan to the surrounding states.
Recent occurrences in modern Russia
clearly point out the fact that human
nature is fundamentally the san.e all over
the world. Cupidity and en\y caused the
persecution Of the Jew in the Czar's do
mains. The same principles are to ba
apprehended here, in a very modified form,
of course (thanks to our Constitution).
The present belligerent attitude of many
labur unions toward the Jew indicates
primarily that tho foolish thoughts of
fear and ignorance are still in ovldence
in our enlightened country — fear that the
Jew will monopolize industry. This fear,
it is needless to state, is based on a lack
of knowledge of the economic conditions of
the American nation.
Lack of proper understanding of their
duty Is displayed by our local politicians
in not framing proper legislation to avoid
violation of the Constitution of the United
States as displayed by the attitude of these
labor organizations, which are prejudiced
against the Jews, although ostensibly ex
isting to aid all honest and efficient work
men who are citizens.
Proper legislation should be framed to
protect the Jewiah workman from a lock
out, as it is illegal. This subject should
be investigated by a duly appointed board
of investigators, and the troubles settled
by the state, as it is done in New Zealand.
ERNEST ENDRES.
Hoboken Feb. 14. 1910.
A DESERVED TRIBUTE.
From The Utlca Observer.
"The Syracuse Post-Standard" draws at
tention to the fact that the man who broke
up the "Black Horse Cavalry" in the
Legislature was Governor Frank W. Hig
gins. "The Post-Standard" says that Gov
ernor Higgins knew the Legislature and
it.s methods and that when he came to the
office of Governor he determined to put
an end to the corrupt practices that are
just now coming to open light, but Which
have been known and covered up tor years.
Governor Higgiris used all the power of
his office, says "The Post-Standard." to
have chosen as Speaker of the Assembly a
man who had only one year's experience In
the Legislature and who was only twenty
tight years, of age, and though the Gov
ernor was held up to scorn for his course
and was bitterly condemned for putting
an untried man in leadership he persisted.
The article continues:
"The. hand of the Governor was strong
enough to make 'Jim' Wadsworth Speaker.
Young 'Jim' knew what lie was chosen to
do. and he did it. The committee list
which ihe Speaker gave out was notice to
the hold-up men that their day was done.
The Assembly was manned by a new crew
and the pirates were in stations where they
would do no hurt."
All th!« is true, and there is more of it,
also. The part Governor Higgins took in
breaking up tills corrupt ring in the Legis
lature was never forgiven by the thieves
and bribe-takers whom he toiled. They
followed him with the spirit of the Black
Hand till his death and In every possible
manner they did what they could to mako
his administration uncomfortable to the
Governor and unpopular with the people.
BASEBALL AND TEMPERANCE.
