Freer, of Ritchie county, ex-attorney general of West Virginia, has been named by Governor Glasscook to represent the State to meet with a commis sion appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania for the purpose of preparing plana for the appropriate observance of the Battle of Gettys burg in 1913. Representative Mann of Illi nois has introduced a bill in the house which can not fail to secure the hearty support of the entire country. It is designated to check the “white slave traffic” and there is no difference of opinion accord" tng to dispatches from Washington that it will accomplish the end de sired if it is passed. The measure provides that any person who aids, induces or forces a woman from one state to another for immoral pur poses shall be liable to a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for five years. In the case of a girl under eighteen the tine will be $10,000 and tbe imprisonment ten years. Representative Maim has given the white slave traffic in Chicago ser ious attention and believes that his bill will in a great measure check it. • President Taft’s nomination of Judge Horace It. Lurlon of Ten nessee to succeed Justice Peckhatn as Justice of the United Supreme court does not come as a surprise. Dozens of prominent lawyers and jurist's were mentioned tor this high other, nearly every state hav ing a favorite son whom it deemed worthy of sitting on the highest court of the land. Jt W3S gener ally understood from the beginning that the president would appoint a democrat. Therfc was a two-fold reason for this. The court as notf organized consists of two democrats and six republicans. Justice Peek. . ham was a democrat and the presi w dent telt that it wot Id be inadvis able to go lo the dominant political party for his successor. Mr. Taft is extremely anxious that the gener al public shall continue to have con fidence in and respect for the court of last resort. The appointment of a republican in Justice Peckham’s place would he certain to arouse adverse comment in democratic ranks and the resnlt would be to involve the court in political con troversy. Secondly, it in general ly believed that Cbief Justice Ful ler will retire from the bench be fore the clove of Mr. Taft's admin i* tret ion. He will be seventy-six yeers old in February. It goes without saying that a republican president, unless an exceptional cowhitlow should arise, would not »i ooint a member of the opposite politest part to the highest judi *‘*1 ofh.e of the nation.

A member of congress from a western stale recently received a letter Ironi a constituent who de sired a copy of a government pub lication known a« “The Diseases of the Horse. ’ He said: “I am a short coarse student and want horse «leezeez. ” It is apparent that the congressman’s correspondent is a Roosevelt man. Phonetic spell - ing is one ol the Roosevelt policies that will endure to the end of time even though it may never have the sanction of learning. Since his return to this country Colonel Henry Watterson has been counselling his fellow democrats to talk less and ruminate more. Ilig idea is that the democrats in con gress should bide themsejves and watch the republic ins fight out any differences they have on the tariff, the house rules or any other ques tion which arrays the “organization” against the “insurgents”. Mr. Wat terson bolds that the democratic party is in condition to help itself and can profit only from republi can blunders and dissensions. The NV atterson programme may attract many democata because it promises a surercase from rather profitless activity. J herb was once an impression that Kansas was entitled to sym pathy.

The role of the democratic par ty in congress is to make trouble for the majority. This duty in especially important at this time in view of the fact that the eongrts sioual elections will he held next year. The slogan of Champ Clark, the minority leader, stems to be ‘‘Don t try to formulate construc tive legislation, but aim to put the other fellows in a bad light befote the country.” In carrying out this policy ^r- Clark and his political associates gave aid and comfort to the so-called republican “insur gents.” i hey advised them to keep up their fight on Cannon, to go after the house rules with a sharp stick and generally, to keep up a guerilla warfare on their party associates. This pleasant pro gramme would, of course, help the democrats by giving the country the impression .hat the republicans were in disotjrdant camps and un. able tooarfy cut the legislative re forms of the president. It seems, however, that the re publicans are not to be cMight in Mr. Clark’n yut- Advices from Washington a^j to the effect that Representative vardner of Massa chusetts, who »td the fight at the opening of this congress for re vision of the house rules, has let it be known that hi intends to devote his energies this winter to assisting his party colleagues in the enact ment of legislation promised by the republican party. Mr. Gardner has not changed his mind about the desirability of am Tiding the rules. He believes, however, that the fighting of windmills, although a pleasant diversion, ;s not profitable. that he wdl be a party to no alli ance that has for its principal ob ject the obstruction x of legislation. The house rules hav«* been adopted for this congress and there is not one chance in a thousand that the) will be modified/ Mr. Gardner seems to appreciateithi* fact and is to be commended fpr hi* ability to be a “good loser” ind to fight his battles within the 1 party and at a time when there is s'ome prospect of success. Accordingly, he h is served notice High Cost of Living., ( A free-trader, at the present day j a ‘ rcyiaion downward” fellow, can- j not talk long about the ta>iff until * be cite* the present hi«li cost of Iit- | ino in comparison with the go< d I o'd dayg of gome former period. | Tney seem to lor^et ‘hit the cot 5 o' living l^a** no\ increased faster in t iae United State* than u bag in the free-trade countries.

But the man of average intelligence knoA's that he oannot get high pric es for that which be has to sell and pay Iow,prices for the things he has to buy. The large majority well remember the time when living was cheap and also that the products of the farm and factory were a drag on the home market at almost any old prim*. And during the four yeais from 1892 to 1896 the lesion was impressed thoroughly that to make a prosperous country for one to live well all must live well. High wages and low cost of living do not go to gether. But when it is considered that the high cost of living is not confined to protective tariff coun tries it is readily seen that the rea oning of the free-trader is faulty The people were “worked” in 1892 on just such a bunco game, and they will not get the same hook at the present time very easily. — Warrens burg (Mo.)

The delicacy and tact with which he performed his various missions on his tour around the world .again made it self apparent on the occasion of the formal visit to the White House of the Turkish envoys who were dic patched by the Ottoman Empire to nolity h m ol the establishment of the new constitutional government. These envoys, Zia Pasha and Colonel Aziz Bey, conveyed the felicitations of the new sultan, Mehmed C, and told the president that the liberal institutions of the l iitted tStates and the history of her light for freedom had proved a source of inspiration to the young I urks who fought against the tyranny of the former sultan. Presi dent I aft replied in a happy speech, the effect of which was to send the envoys on their way rejoicing for they had no sooner left the White House than they began an enthus iastic chorus of praise for the pre.«i (lent and expressed great gratitude at the cordial manner in which he had received them. So deep an impression did he make on them that A. Rustem Bey, charge d’nf. faira of the i urkish embassy, at once made public bin conviction that a new era of prosperity, con tingent on the friendship of the United Staten, was about to begin in Turkey and that the Turkish people would count on the assist* ance of America in developing tbe commercial possibilities of their country.
