enson elucidated :
"It means a shouter advertising a
show or exhibition" said be.
"It means a 'barker'" put in Al-
fred Lurking senior counsel for Mr
lord.
"Have it your way. Mr Lucking
said Mr. Stevenson. "It's all the
same "
"What do ou understand by the
word 'treason'?" asked Mr. Steven-
son continuing the examination.
"Anything against the government"
said Mr. l ord.
Admits He's "Ignorant Idealist."
Mr. Stevenson prei ipitaird a tor-
rent of objections by asking the mean-
ing ot the word "traitor" in the course
of which Mr. l-'ord interposed:
"I'll admit I'm an 'ignorant ideal-
ist' "
'Why. Mr. Ford" sart Mr. Stes-
enson in Mitprie it you annul mat.
I shall not have to ask you any more
questions along that line"
"I'll admit it if it will close this
talk. It is for the jury to deci!e.
anvwav."
"Hut if you admit it there will be
nothing for the jnrv to deride. The
admission seems useless. '
Prefatory to this outburst by the
witness who was plainly nettled by
the examination Mr Stevenson ex-
plained to the court:
"Your honor the alleged libelous
editorial in the Tribune referred to
Mr. Lord as an 'ignorant idealist.' The
questions are to show that be is in
fact ignorant and if he is an idealist.
and docn't know the meaning ot
commonly used words be is plainly
an ignorant idealist.
It was a: this point that the manu
facturer hurt out ssith his angrv ad-
illusion which despite efforts of his
awyer he repeated.
Army Strength Asked.
The Tribune lawyer asked thf wit
ness a number of questions as to what
he knew of the sue equipment and dis

said yest-rday that he considered the

'Do vou know bow many troops
were in the Philippines?"
"So."
"In Alaska?"
"No."
"In Porto Rico?"
"No."
"By the wav what are the relations
between the United States and Porto
Rico?"
Judge Tucker suggested this line
was followed far enough.
"Put this man sets himself up as w
educator and wanted to go to the
Lnittd Mates senate.
Mr. Ford interrupted to say: "I can
get a man in live minutes to tell me
those things
Judge Stops Further Qusstlons.
Mr. Stevenson started; U ask uuev
tinns about history tjut was slopped
by Judge Tucker whp slid that sub-
ject bad been sufficiently covered.
"All right" said tlie lawyer "now
Mr. Ford soberly are you not ready
to admit that you are an 'ignorant
idealist?' That' is what the Tribune
called you and your counsel declare
that it is a lie."
This time Mr. Ford returned a dif-
ferent answer shaking his head slow
ly. He explained that his previous j
affirmative was merely to stop the ex-;
animation.
"Well all right Mr. Ford. Now
I'll ask you what an 'idealist' is. You
understand it'"
The witness thought for a moment
and then replied :
"One who helps others to make a
profit."
'One who helps others to make a
profit" edtoed Mr. Stevenson slowly
"is that v iur definition?"
"Yes that's about it"
The lawver smiled and said: "Well
Mr. Ford I guess we will let the ques-
tion of an 'ignorant idealist' rest right
here."

"I advocated preparedness alter we

"I was speaking about 1915 or I0f"
