UNJUST CRITICISMS.

Hany Harsh and Undeserved
Criticisms Haye Been Made
Against Him When He Was
Only Doing His Sworn Duty,
1 he trial of M. T Norris, a promi
nent merchant of Italeigb, charged
with hav ing burned his own house

jjjjn lo aI interest. The result was
ac or lance with the earnest wish
of Mr Norris many friends, and vin
dicates that gentleman from the
ium of a horrible charge. It is
00t 0f that of which thS paper .wishes
tonpeak, however.. .
Judging from the reports we have
Den in the papers, the friends and
partisans of Mr. Norris have been
both intemperate and unjust in, their
criticism of Mr. Young, the Insurance
Commissioner, at whose instance the
prosecution was undertaken. The
fact that a jury has acquitted -Mr.
Xorrw does not at all .justify their
criticism, or cnange tu cuarauwax ui
Mr. Young's official duty.
The Statute, Sec. 4819 of. Revisal

Norris would have desired a "triall

was left open for Mr. Young but one

should be continued in its monopoly
by the tariff law. That' gigantic
corporation, by far greater than any
of its sister trusts, cannot take refuge
as an "infant industry" that needs
protecting. It may not be policy
to take the chances of disturbing the
steel business by at once abolishing
all its protection, but cutting off one
half of its tariff protection will be
one of the first propositions of a
Democratic House of Representa

THE "DOTAGE' MICROBE.
TWO TRAINS COLLIDE;
AN AWFUL WRECK NEAR HAM
LET SUNDAY NIGHT.
The Only True Remedy For
Oregon has been the storm center
of kAd frauds. One of her Republican
Senators and both of ber Itepublican
representatives in Congress, besides
a United States Surveyor-general and
many other ferderal officials, have
been implicated and have either met
their just desserts or are in a fair
way to do so. Now, comes the only
member, of 'Congress from that State
that theflaw has not entangled Sen-
Ator Fton who declares that Secre
tary Hitchcock, who t his credit has
relentlessly prosecuted the land
thieves, "is in his dotage." If Sec-
re'a-y Wilson had shown the sane
efficient "dotage" there would have
been no beef, cotton and seed scan
dals. If Secretary Taft had exhibited
a similar brand of dotagen, there
would, have been no Panama Scan-
dal and matters in the Philippines
and Porto Rico "would be in better
condition instead of being a disgrace
to AmericaiLixianagement. IiSecre

had exhibited the intense "dotage"
that his elder associate has exhibited,
there would be a large bunch of
Trust magnates in jail and the trust
question would not loom up so alarm
ingly to the American people.
