WHEN IS A JOINT NOT A JOINT?
What is a "joint" any way? We
thought we Itiiew we i bought old
N'unli Webster kiU'Wnml be Hiiid in
his dictionary with admirable clarity :
"A joint. Is the place or p.ti't in
which two things are Joined or united;
the ua'on of two or more smooth or
even surfaces admitting' '.of cUwc f if -
ling or Junction."- . ' 1 ' .. fi
But that definition is doomed. It is
Obsolete It will have to be cili out.
of the dictionary entirely or maybe
it can be retained In another place by
substituting It for the old definition
of the word "kiss." But that is 'beside
the present question.' Li ""
Bratuler Matthews of Columbia uni-
versity a formidable authority on pure
English has testified on oath ithat a
"Joint" Is a "piare where men or wo-
men drunk or sober are steered in
to loose their money." ; .
Professor Matthews Is starring as
chief witness for the prosecution In
the fashionable gambling scandal case
at Nnrr.igaiiKOtt Pier. Witli a sense
of fitness as keen as his knowledge of
the fine points of language the dis-
tinguished scholar long known as a
expert in simplified spelling got right
down to simplified slang and revealed
a knowledge of gambling places and
gambling methods and gambling ver
nucular that surprised even the de
tectives and society folks.
The attorney for the defense sought
to muddle him further by asking what
"steer" meant but the purist silenced
the lawyer permanently by gibly re-
sponding that of course he referred
to the Texas variety.
Alas with one college professor el-
ected governor ot New Persey and an-
other posing -as a gambling expert
what Is to become of our brlgbfyouth?'
Next thing we know Dr. l.yniun Ab-
bott will be writing editorials on the
fine points of stud poker.
EVADING THE ISSUE
Son-in-law Ixmgwoith congressman
from Cincinnati by the grace of Boss
Cox has . found t:ie political ground
rather ' ehaky this year on account
of his support of Cannon and the
tariff bill. As many of his constitu-
ents believe that the high tariff has
made higt'i prices he nas tried to di-
vert their attention from the high
Post of living to a more economical
way of -preparing the high priced

"lit. high tariff is chief cause oj 1 ll
present high ' prices. '' ' ;
Mtnougn every uemocraitc cnnui-
tiato To;- congress is undoubtedly foi
taHff reform ytt it will do no harm
to tisk him to publicly define his po
sition on the tariff The national
Democratic position is for a tariff to
pi otiuctj enough revenue to provide
the government with necessary funds
and not for the purpose of protection.
Any tariff however low h.ie rate may
he protects the homo manufacturer
to the extent of the tax. 'If. the tar-
ill tax Ih only 10 per cent on some
article the 'cost of Importing that ar
ticle Is- increased by that much in
addition to the profit that (he Import-
er nods on ti.ie tariff tax which he
pays the cost of transportation and
the charges added on which the im-
porter also a'itls his profit.
For instance-: A razor is import
ed which costs 50 cents in England
on which the duty was increased In
the present tariff law from 56 per
cent to 94 per cent lue importer
pay 50 cents to the English manu
fncturer and. when the razor arrives
in New York before he can get It
out of the Custom House he must pay
the tariff of !I4 per cent or 47 cents
also the freight and charges about.
3 ecu Is more. That brings the cost
of tr.e razor to the importer fcere to
$1.00 11c then adds his profit of say
jo per cent making the price $1.20 to
the wholesale (denier and uy . me
lime the razor Is sold to the consumer
or user the prollls of the different
bunds" 'through' wtiich It passes will
have added :!0 cents more making
thep rice $1.50. '. '
But: if the ra.or had been manufac-
tured In this country the .wholesale
and retail profit would have been
added as on the Imported razor; so
take tie cost of $1.20 Tor which the
loreign-mnde razor was sold to the
wholesaler nnl we find that the tar-
iff has added 7 cents or 140 per cent
on the .original tost of 50 cents IJut
